(Forces him into the chair) I'm glad to get away from it. Why, you look positively boyish.
GILRUTH
And why not? I am a boy. (Chuckles)
DARTREY
What are you so pleased with yourself about?
GILRUTH
The greatest thing in the world for youth and high-spirits. I'm going to be married next week.
DARTREY
(Incredulously) You're not?
GILRUTH
I tell you I am.
DARTREY
Don't be silly.
GILRUTH
What's silly about it?
DARTREY
Oh, I don't know.
GILRUTH
Of course you don't know. You've never tried it.
DARTREY
I should think not.
GILRUTH
Well, I'm going to and I want you to father me. Stand up beside me and see me through. Will you?
DARTREY
If you want me to.
GILRUTH
Well, I do want you to.
DARTREY
All right.
GILRUTH
You don't mind now?
DARTREY
My dear chap. It's charming of you to think of me.
GILRUTH
I've known you longer than any one over here. And I like you better. So there you are.
DARTREY
(Laughing) Poor old Dermod! Well, well!
GILRUTH
There's nothing to laugh at, or "well, well" about.
DARTREY
Do I know the---?
GILRUTH
(Shakes his head) She's never been over before. Everything will be new to her. I tell you it's going to be wonderful. I've planned out the most delightful trip through Ireland--she's Irish, too.
DARTREY
Is she?
GILRUTH
But, like me, born in America. She's crazy to see the old country.
DARTREY
She couldn't have a better guide.
GILRUTH
