Olivia Wenscombe He wants me to come work for you and steal your secrets. Alfred Borden What does he need my secrets for? His trick is top-notch. He vanishes, and then he reappears instantly on the other side of the stage—mute, overweight, and unless I'm mistaken, very drunk. It's astonishing; how does he do it? Sarah Alfred, I can't live like this! Alfred Borden Well, what do you want from me? Sarah I want... I want you to be honest with me. No tricks, no lies, no secrets. (pause) Do you... do you love me?
