1.1 ::- :=Helmer: a tile fell off a roof on to my head -- 1.1 ::- :=Nora: me something, you could -- you could -- 1.1 ::- :=Helmer: But, Nora -- 1.1 ::- :=Nora: Oh, but Torvald -- 1.1 ::- :=Nora: No, Torvald, I promise -- 1.1 ::- :=Nora: No, Torvald -- I promise you, honestly -- 1.1 ::- :=Helmer: eyes and your delicate little hands -- 1.2 ::- :=Nora: Good evening -- 1.2 ::- :=Mrs. Linde: It's been nine years -- nearly ten -- 1.2 ::- :=Nora: nanny. But you must tell me everything -- 1.2 ::- :=Nora: How relieved you must feel -- 1.2 ::- :=Mrs. Linde: job -- office work of some kind -- 1.2 ::- :=Nora: of getting down to anything serious -- 1.2 ::- :=Mrs. Linde: My dear -- 1.2 ::- :=Mrs. Linde: told me about all your difficulties -- 1.3 ::- :=Nora: if he hadn't managed to get down there -- 1.3 ::- :=Mrs. Linde: well -- your father provided the money -- 1.3 ::- :=Nora: Torvald and everyone else thinks. But -- 1.3 ::- :=Nora: sense, and knows how to be clever -- 1.3 ::- :=Mrs. Linde: But Nora, I simply don't understand -- 1.3 ::- :=Nora: When a girl's as pretty as I am -- 1.3 ::- :=Mrs. Linde: foolish if without his knowledge you -- 1.3 ::- :=Nora: somehow. And then I thought of a way -- 1.3 ::- :=Nora: gentleman had fallen in love with me -- 1.3 ::- :=Nora: be for me. It's someone for Torvald -- 1.3 ::- :=Maid: -- seeing as the doctor's with him -- 1.3 ::- :=Krogstad: husband is to become our new chief -- 1.3 ::- :=Rank: in with Helmer at this very moment -- 1.4 ::- :=Helmer: Christine -- ? Forgive me, but I don't think -- 1.4 ::- :=Mrs. Linde: Well, I didn't really -- 1.4 ::- :=Nora: her even more than she knows already -- 1.4 ::- :=Helmer: I may be able to find some job for you -- 1.4 ::- :=Helmer: I'm afraid I must ask you to excuse me -- 1.4 ::- :=Nora: here -- I'm afraid we can't offer to -- 1.5 ::- :=Krogstad: Excuse me, Mrs. Helmer -- 1.5 ::- :=Nora: want? I can't give you anything today -- 1.5 ::- :=Nora: Oh, yes. Yes, I suppose so; though -- 1.5 ::- :=Krogstad: I saw your husband cross the street -- 1.5 ::- :=Nora: Yes, she is. But I still don't see -- 1.5 ::- :=Nora: before offending someone who -- hm -- 1.5 ::- :=Nora: But I assure you -- 1.5 ::- :=Krogstad: Oh? I thought you just said -- 1.5 ::- :=Nora: I think I did hear something -- 1.5 ::- :=Nora: me in the most dreadful unpleasantness -- 1.5 ::- :=Krogstad: I promised to find that sum for you -- 1.5 ::- :=Nora: Yes, I think so -- 1.5 ::- :=Nora: Problem? I don't see -- 1.5 ::- :=Nora: What? I don't understand -- 1.6 ::- :=Nora: I'll sing for you, dance for you -- 1.6 ::- :=Nora: Yes, Torvald. But -- 1.6 ::- :=Helmer: Oh -- 1.6 ::- :=Nora: Then that's why this poor man Krogstad -- 2.1 ::- :=Nora: presents, poor little dears. But -- 2.1 ::- :=Nora: now it's all so torn, I don't know -- 2.1 ::- :=Nora: since he was a child -- you understand -- 2.1 ::- :=Mrs. Linde: yours who was going to give you money -- 2.1 ::- :=Nora: No, no one. But -- 2.1 ::- :=Nora: I'm sure that if I ever did ask him -- 2.1 ::- :=Nora: sure that if I did speak to Dr. Rank -- 2.1 ::- :=Mrs. Linde: that's what I told you yesterday. But -- 2.1 ::- :=Nora: to arrange these things than a woman -- 2.2 ::- :=Helmer: at these. I've been down to the bank -- 2.2 ::- :=Nora: really prettily to grant her a wish -- 2.2 ::- :=Nora: skylark would sing in every room -- 2.2 ::- :=Helmer: in a word for him, you expect me to -- 2.2 ::- :=Nora: I'm so dreadfully frightened of him -- 2.2 ::- :=Helmer: to persuade him to change his mind -- 2.2 ::- :=Helmer: myself to ignore his moral obloquies -- 2.2 ::- :=Nora: of course you're not. That's just why -- 2.2 ::- :=Helmer: The whole burden, I say -- 2.3 ::- :=Rank: to visit me when I'm in the hospital -- 2.3 ::- :=Nora: Oh but, Dr. Rank -- 2.3 ::- :=Rank: law of retribution is at work -- 2.3 ::- :=Rank: Hm -- 2.3 ::- :=Rank: One finds replacements, and then -- 2.3 ::- :=Rank: When I have moved on, this lady will -- 2.3 ::- :=Rank: Hm -- 2.3 ::- :=Rank: And now to have to leave it all -- 2.3 ::- :=Nora: Suppose I were to ask you to -- ? No -- 2.3 ::- :=Nora: To give me proof of your friendship -- 2.3 ::- :=Nora: mean -- to do me a very great service -- 2.3 ::- :=Nora: an instant to lay down his life for me -- 2.3 ::- :=Rank: Nora -- 2.3 ::- :=Nora: tell me. That was quite unnecessary -- 2.3 ::- :=Nora: it specially -- Torvald mustn't know -- 2.3 ::- :=Nora: study -- keep him talking for a bit -- 2.4 ::- :=Maid: Yes, madam, he came up the back way -- 2.4 ::- :=Krogstad: I can do to you, and yet he dares to -- 2.4 ::- :=Krogstad: Helmer to show that much courage -- 2.4 ::- :=Krogstad: Yes, a bad lawyer like me -- 2.4 ::- :=Krogstad: thinking of doing anything desperate -- 2.4 ::- :=Krogstad: Such as running away -- 2.4 ::- :=Krogstad: Or anything more desperate -- 2.4 ::- :=Krogstad: first. I did. But I hadn't the courage -- 2.4 ::- :=Krogstad: a letter in my pocket here addressed to your husband -- 2.4 ::- :=Nora: it up. I'll find the money somehow -- 2.4 ::- :=Krogstad: Mrs. Helmer, I thought I'd explained -- 2.4 ::- :=Krogstad: going to create a new job for me -- 2.4 ::- :=Krogstad: me. A pampered little pretty like you -- 2.5 ::- :=Nora: happened. I've committed a forgery -- 2.5 ::- :=Nora: my mind -- and it might easily happen -- 2.5 ::- :=Nora: me -- so that I wasn't here any longer -- 2.5 ::- :=Mrs. Linde: right. But I simply don't understand -- 2.5 ::- :=Mrs. Linde: back unread. He must find some excuse -- 2.5 ::- :=Nora: opens the box at just about this time -- 2.5 ::- :=Helmer: there's just one thing I must see to -- 2.5 ::- :=Nora: -- don't even open the letter-box -- 2.5 ::- :=Helmer: you're still worried about that fellow -- 2.5 ::- :=Helmer: night, when your dance is over -- 2.5 ::- :=Helmer: a child sometimes -- I told you before -- 3.1 ::- :=Krogstad: me as you do! Oh -- but I'd forgotten -- 3.1 ::- :=Mrs. Linde: Quite sure. But -- 3.1 ::- :=Krogstad: and that I don't want him to read it -- 3.1 ::- :=Krogstad: But one thing I can do -- and at once -- 3.2 ::- :=Helmer: But my dearest Nora -- 3.2 ::- :=Mrs. Linde: Oh, yes, indeed -- 3.2 ::- :=Mrs. Linde: Yes, I'm sure -- 3.2 ::- :=Helmer: you and dragged you down here with me -- 3.2 ::- :=Rank: as one can. The wine was excellent -- 3.2 ::- :=Rank: You must go as the Spirit of Happiness -- 3.2 ::- :=Rank: appear as her normal, everyday self -- 3.3 ::- :=Helmer: Here's a broken hairpin. Nora, it's yours -- 3.3 ::- :=Helmer: I want to be with you, my darling wife -- 3.3 ::- :=Nora: Torvald -- 3.4 ::- :=Helmer: But, my dear Nora -- 3.4 ::- :=Helmer: does this mean? You look quite drawn -- 3.4 ::- :=Nora: Then I came here to live in your house -- 3.4 ::- :=Nora: Christine will put me up for tonight -- 3.5 ::- :=Helmer: You've no experience of the world -- 3.5 ::- :=Nora: the world." And when he had done this -- 3.5 ::- :=Helmer: my wife's name to shame and scandal -- 3.5 ::- :=Helmer: But at least you must let me send you -- 2.3 ::-I :=Nora: Dr. Rank, I can't. It's far too much --I want your help and advice, and I want 2.4 ::-JUST :=Krogstad: --just give up the idea. 3.5 ::-PERHAPS :=Helmer: you have some moral feelings left? Or --perhaps you haven't? Well, answer me. 1.1 ::A :=Porter: A shilling. 1.1 ::A :=Nora: HereUs half a crown. No, keep it. 1.1 ::A :=Nora: surely we can let ourselves go a little this year! ItUs the first Christmas 1.1 ::A :=Nora: Oh yes, Torvald, we can be a little extravagant now. CanUt we? Just 1.1 ::A :=Nora: little extravagant now. CanUt we? Just a tiny bit? YouUve got a big salary now, 1.1 ::A :=Nora: CanUt we? Just a tiny bit? YouUve got a big salary now, and youUre going to make 1.1 ::A :=Helmer: Nora! What a little spendthrift you are! Suppose I were 1.1 ::A :=Helmer: Christmas, and then on New Year's Eve a tile fell off a roof on to my head -- 1.1 ::A :=Helmer: then on New Year's Eve a tile fell off a roof on to my head -- 1.1 ::A :=Helmer: Oh, Nora, Nora, how like a woman! No, but seriously, Nora, you know 1.1 ::A :=Helmer: about this. No debts! Never borrow! A home that is founded on debts can never 1.1 ::A :=Helmer: that is founded on debts can never be a place of freedom and beauty. We two have 1.1 ::A :=Nora: here are new clothes for Ivar -- and a sword. And a horse and trumpet for Bob. 1.1 ::A :=Nora: clothes for Ivar -- and a sword. And a horse and trumpet for Bob. And a doll and 1.1 ::A :=Nora: And a horse and trumpet for Bob. And a doll and a cradle for Emmy -- they're nothing 1.1 ::A :=Nora: and trumpet for Bob. And a doll and a cradle for Emmy -- they're nothing much, 1.1 ::A :=Nora: much, but she'll pull them apart in a few day. And some bits of material and 1.1 ::A :=Helmer: deny it, Nora dear. The squanderbird's a pretty little creature, but she gets through 1.1 ::A :=Helmer: what an expensive pet she is for a man to keep. 1.1 ::A :=Nora: For shame! How can you say such a thing? I save every penny I can. 1.1 ::A :=Helmer: You're a funny little creature. Just like your father 1.1 ::A :=Nora: No, how can you think such a thing? 1.1 ::A :=Helmer: Not a tiny little digression into a pastry s 1.1 ::A :=Helmer: Not a tiny little digression into a pastry shop? 1.1 ::A :=Helmer: Not just a wee jam tart? 1.1 ::A :=Helmer: Not a little nibble at a macaroon? 1.1 ::A :=Helmer: Not a little nibble at a macaroon? 1.1 ::A :=Helmer: Yes, it's a wonderful thing to know that one's position 1.1 ::A :=Nora: Yes, it's almost like a miracle. 1.1 ::A :=Nora: longer? Oh, it's really all just like a miracle. Now, I'm going to tell you what 1.1 ::A :=Nora: the doorbell. Someone's coming. What a bore. 1.2 ::A :=Maid: A lady's called, madam. A stranger. 1.2 ::A :=Maid: A lady's called, madam. A stranger. 1.2 ::A :=Nora: No, I'm afraid I -- Yes, wait a minute -- surely -- Why, Christine! Is 1.2 ::A :=Nora: these last eight years have been such a happy time for me! So you've come to town? 1.2 ::A :=Nora: was just at first that -- you've got a little paler, though, Christine. And perhaps 1.2 ::A :=Nora: paler, though, Christine. And perhaps a bit thinner. 1.2 ::A :=Nora: Yes, perhaps a little older. Just a tiny bit. Not much. 1.2 ::A :=Nora: Yes, perhaps a little older. Just a tiny bit. Not much. Oh, but how thoughtless 1.2 ::A :=Nora: Poor Christine, you've become a widow. 1.2 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: Not even a feeling of loss or sorrow. 1.2 ::A :=Nora: Yes, isn't it? Being a lawyer is so uncertain, you know, especially 1.2 ::A :=Nora: in the New Year, and he'll be getting a big salary, and lots of percentages too. 1.2 ::A :=Nora: we want. Oh, Christine, it's such a relief! I feel so happy! Well, I mean, 1.2 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: yet? When we were at school you were a terrible little spendthrift. 1.2 ::A :=Nora: The doctors said he'd have to go to a warmer climate. 1.2 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: Yes, you spent a whole year in Italy, didn't you? 1.2 ::A :=Nora: of course we had to do it. Oh, it was a marvelous trip! And it saved Torvald's 1.2 ::A :=Nora: Two hundred and fifty pounds. That's a lot of money, you know. 1.2 ::A :=Nora: Fit as a fiddle! 1.2 ::A :=Nora: once every day. No, Torvald hasn't had a moment's illness since we went away. And 1.2 ::A :=Nora: I. Oh God, oh God, Christine, isn't it a wonderful thing to be alive and happy! 1.2 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: make ends meet somehow, so I started a little shop, and a little school, and anything 1.2 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: so I started a little shop, and a little school, and anything else I could 1.2 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: just one endless slog for me, without a moment's rest. But now it's over, Nora. 1.2 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: occupy my mind. If only I could get a regular job -- office work of some kind 1.2 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: work of yours -- well, really -- ! You're a child, Nora. 1.2 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: I think I have a right to be. 1.3 ::A :=Nora: Papa didn't give us a penny. It was I who found the money? 1.3 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: But Nora, how could you? Did you win a lottery or something? 1.3 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: Well, a wife can't borrow money without her husband's 1.3 ::A :=Nora: Ah, but when a wife has a little business sense, and knows 1.3 ::A :=Nora: Ah, but when a wife has a little business sense, and knows how to 1.3 ::A :=Nora: have got it from an admirer. When a girl's as pretty as I am -- 1.3 ::A :=Nora: was in danger and that only going to a warm climate could save him. Do you suppose 1.3 ::A :=Nora: frivolous, and that it was his duty as a husband not to pander to my moods and caprices 1.3 ::A :=Nora: saved somehow. And then I thought of a way -- 1.3 ::A :=Nora: And besides -- he's so proud of being a man -- it'd be so painful and humiliating 1.3 ::A :=Nora: am I? Mind you, all this has caused me a frightful lot of worry. It hasn't been 1.3 ::A :=Nora: instalments and interest, and they're a terrible problem to cope with. So I've 1.3 ::A :=Nora: to cope with. So I've had to scrape a little here and save a little there as 1.3 ::A :=Nora: had to scrape a little here and save a little there as best I can. I haven't been 1.3 ::A :=Nora: never noticed. But it made me a bit sad sometimes, because it's lovely 1.3 ::A :=Nora: income. Last winter I managed to get a lot of copying to do. So I shut myself 1.3 ::A :=Nora: money. It was almost like being a man. 1.3 ::A :=Nora: and then perhaps we'll be able to take a little trip somewhere. I shall be able 1.3 ::A :=Nora: see the sea again. Oh, yes, yes, it's a wonderful thing to be alive and happy! 1.3 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: You've a visitor. Perhaps I'd better go. 1.3 ::A :=Maid: Excuse me, madam, a gentleman's called who says he wants to 1.3 ::A :=Krogstad: Business -- you might call it. I hold a minor post in the bank, and I hear your 1.3 ::A :=Nora: A lawyer called Krogstad. 1.3 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: to know him -- some years ago. He was a solicitor's clerk in our town, for a w 1.3 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: a solicitor's clerk in our town, for a while. 1.3 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: Is he a widower now? 1.3 ::A :=Nora: Yes, with a lot of children. Ah, now it's alight. 1.3 ::A :=Rank: don't see me out. I'll go and have a word with your wife. Oh, I beg your pardon. 1.3 ::A :=Rank: Ah! A name I have often heard in this house. 1.3 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: No, I'm just a little run down. 1.3 ::A :=Rank: come to town to cure yourself by a round of parties? 1.3 ::A :=Rank: Yes, people do seem to regard it as a necessity. 1.3 ::A :=Rank: who are morally sick, too. There's a moral cripple in with Helmer at this very 1.3 ::A :=Rank: Oh, a lawyer fellow called Krogstad -- you wouldn't 1.3 ::A :=Rank: off by announcing, as thought it were a matter of enormous importance, that he 1.3 ::A :=Rank: in your part of the world you too have a species of human being that spends its 1.3 ::A :=Rank: moral corruption? And when they find a case they give him some nice, comfortable 1.3 ::A :=Rank: position so that they can keep a good watch on him. The healthy ones just 1.3 ::A :=Rank: that's turning human society into a hospital. 1.3 ::A :=Nora: do I care about society? I think it's a bore. I was laughing at something else 1.3 ::A :=Nora: many people. Dr. Rank, would you like a small macaroon? 1.3 ::A :=Nora: too, Christine. and I'll have one too. Just a little one. Two at the most. Yes, 1.4 ::A :=Helmer: Ah. A childhood friend of my wife's, I presu 1.4 ::A :=Nora: -- Torvald, you will, won't you? Do a little something to help Christine? For 1.4 ::A :=Helmer: that shouldn't be impossible. You are a widow, I take it, Mrs. Linde? 1.4 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: Yes, quite a bit. 1.4 ::A :=Helmer: You've come at a lucky moment, Mrs. Linde. 1.4 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: Yes, I must start to look round for a room. 1.4 ::A :=Nora: It's such a nuisance we're so cramped here -- I'm afraid 1.4 ::A :=Nora: That's splendid. You gave Emmy and Bob a ride on the sledge? What, both together? 1.4 ::A :=Nora: What, both together? I say! What a clever boy you are, Ivar! Oh, let me hold 1.4 ::A :=Nora: you are, Ivar! Oh, let me hold her for a moment, Anne-Marie! My sweet little baby 1.4 ::A :=Nora: some hot coffee on the stove. What? A big dog ran after you? But he didn't bite 1.4 ::A :=Nora: it's nothing nice. Come on, let's play a game. What shall we play? Hide and seek. 1.5 ::A :=Krogstad: A word with you. 1.5 ::A :=Krogstad: Christmas Eve. Whether or not you have a merry Christmas depends on you. 1.5 ::A :=Krogstad: There's something else. You have a moment to spare? 1.5 ::A :=Krogstad: With a lady. 1.5 ::A :=Krogstad: so bold as to ask: was not that lady a Mrs. Linde? 1.5 ::A :=Krogstad: She is a good friend of yours, is she not? 1.5 ::A :=Krogstad: you would. Well then, may I ask you a straight question: is Mrs. Linde to be 1.5 ::A :=Nora: Oh, one has a little influence, you know. Just because 1.5 ::A :=Nora: you know. Just because one's a woman it doesn't necessarily mean that 1.5 ::A :=Nora: mean that -- When one is in a humble position, Mr. Krogstad, one should 1.5 ::A :=Krogstad: You're a bold woman, Mrs. Helmer. 1.5 ::A :=Nora: That'd be a filthy trick! This secret that is my pride 1.5 ::A :=Nora: that he should hear about it in such a filthy, beastly way -- hear about it from 1.5 ::A :=Krogstad: Listen, Mrs. Helmer. Either you've a bad memory or else you know very little 1.5 ::A :=Krogstad: Exactly. But then I added a few lines naming your father as security 1.5 ::A :=Krogstad: we were speaking about -- that was a difficult time for you just then, wasn't 1.5 ::A :=Krogstad: to confirm it. And that leaves me with a curious little problem -- which I simply 1.5 ::A :=Krogstad: the second of October. Isn't that a curious little problem, Mrs. Helmer? Can 1.5 ::A :=Krogstad: October" and the year are written in a hand which is not your father's, but which 1.5 ::A :=Krogstad: which I seem to know. Well, there's a simple explanation to that. Your father 1.5 ::A :=Krogstad: Mrs. Helmer, do you realize this is a dangerous admission? 1.5 ::A :=Krogstad: May I ask you a question? Why didn't you send this paper 1.5 ::A :=Krogstad: wiser to have given up your idea of a holiday. 1.5 ::A :=Krogstad: you that it is no bigger nor worse a crime than the one I once committed, and 1.5 ::A :=Nora: to believe that you would have taken a risk like that to save your wife's lif 1.5 ::A :=Nora: I don't believe that. Hasn't a daughter the right to shield her father 1.5 ::A :=Nora: when he's old and dying? Hasn't a wife the right to save her husband's life? 1.5 ::A :=Nora: to know about that, you're meant to be a lawyer, aren't you? You can't be a very 1.5 ::A :=Nora: be a lawyer, aren't you? You can't be a very good lawyer, Mr. Krogstad. 1.5 ::A :=Krogstad: If I get thrown into the gutter for a second time, I shall take you with me. 1.6 ::A :=Nora: just now. Go back to the nursery. I've a lot to do. Go away, my darlings, go away. 1.6 ::A :=Nora: quite right -- Krogstad was here for a few minutes. 1.6 ::A :=Helmer: he's been here and asked you to put in a good word for him. 1.6 ::A :=Helmer: And you were ready to enter into such a conspiracy? Talking to a man like that, 1.6 ::A :=Helmer: into such a conspiracy? Talking to a man like that, and making him promises 1.6 ::A :=Helmer: songbird must never do that again. A songbird must have a clean beak to sing 1.6 ::A :=Helmer: do that again. A songbird must have a clean beak to sing with; otherwise she'll 1.6 ::A :=Helmer: Independent's in trouble and needs a man to rescue her, does she? 1.6 ::A :=Helmer: I'm not so heartless as to condemn a man for an isolated action. 1.6 ::A :=Helmer: Just think how a man with that load on his conscience must 1.6 ::A :=Helmer: and dissembling; how he must wear a mask even in the presence of those who 1.6 ::A :=Helmer: breath that the children draw in such a house contains the germs of evil. 2.1 ::A :=Nora: Oh, I wish I could tear them into a million pieces! 2.1 ::A :=Nurse: Why, madam! They'll be all right. Just a little patience. 2.1 ::A :=Nurse: In this dreadful weather? You'll catch a chill, madam. 2.1 ::A :=Nurse: When I had the chance of such a good job? A poor girl what's got into trouble 2.1 ::A :=Nurse: I had the chance of such a good job? A poor girl what's got into trouble can't 2.1 ::A :=Nurse: That good-for-nothing didn't life a finger. 2.1 ::A :=Nora: Dear old Anne-Marie, you were a good mother to me. 2.1 ::A :=Nora: Look at this. There's going to be a fancy dress ball tomorrow night upstairs 2.1 ::A :=Nora: and Torvald wants me to go as a Neapolitan fisher-girl and dance the tarantella. 2.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: I say, are you going to give a performance? 2.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: up tomorrow, Nora? I must pop over for a moment to see how you look. Oh, but I've 2.1 ::A :=Nora: usual. You ought to have come to town a little earlier, Christine . . . Yes, Torvald 2.1 ::A :=Nora: . . . Yes, Torvald understands how to make a home look attractive. 2.1 ::A :=Nora: it was very noticeable. But he's got a terrible disease; he's got spinal tuberculosis, 2.1 ::A :=Nora: tuberculosis, poor man. His father was a frightful creature who kept mistresses 2.1 ::A :=Nora: who kept mistresses and so on. As a result Dr. Rank has been sickly ever since 2.1 ::A :=Nora: Rank has been sickly ever since he was a child -- you understand -- 2.1 ::A :=Nora: medical matters, and they tell one a thing or two. 2.1 ::A :=Nora: day. He's Torvald's oldest friend, and a good friend to me too. Dr. Rank's almost 2.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: Nora. In many ways you're still a child; I'm a bit older than you and have 2.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: In many ways you're still a child; I'm a bit older than you and have a little more 2.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: I'm a bit older than you and have a little more experience of the world. There's 2.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: But how dare a man of his education be so forward? 2.1 ::A :=Nora: your mind? How could you imagine such a thing? A friend, someone who comes here 2.1 ::A :=Nora: How could you imagine such a thing? A friend, someone who comes here every day! 2.1 ::A :=Nora: No, of course not. I've never for a moment dreamed of -- anyway, he hadn't 2.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: Well, I think that was a lucky thing for you, Nora dear. 2.1 ::A :=Nora: It's much easier for a man to arrange these things than a woman 2.1 ::A :=Nora: for a man to arrange these things than a woman -- 2.1 ::A :=Nora: Oh, bosh. When you've completely repaid a debt, you get your I.O.U. back, don't 2.1 ::A :=Nora: And you can tear it into a thousand pieces and burn the filthy, beastly 2.1 ::A :=Nora: you mind going into the nursery for a few minutes? Torvald can't bear to see 2.2 ::A :=Helmer: Yes, that was quite a bright idea of mine, wasn't it? 2.2 ::A :=Nora: asked you really prettily to grant her a wish -- 2.2 ::A :=Nora: I'd turn myself into a little fairy and dance for you in the moonlight, 2.2 ::A :=Helmer: you thoughtlessly promised to put in a word for him, you expect me to -- 2.2 ::A :=Helmer: But my dear little Nora, there's a considerable difference between your father 2.2 ::A :=Helmer: father and me. Your father was not a man of unassailable reputation. But I am; 2.2 ::A :=Helmer: gets her way -- ! Do you expect me to make a laughing-stock of myself before my 2.2 ::A :=Helmer: this letter downstairs at once. Find a messenger and see that he delivers it. 2.2 ::A :=Helmer: forgive you this anxiety. Though it is a bit of an insult to me. Oh, but it is! 2.2 ::A :=Helmer: be frightened by the vindictiveness of a depraved hack journalist? But I forgive 2.3 ::A :=Nora: Well, it's rather a curious expression. Is something going 2.3 ::A :=Rank: I've been expecting to happen for a long time. But I didn't think it would 2.3 ::A :=Rank: mine, and I find I am bankrupt. Within a month I may be rotting up there in the 2.3 ::A :=Nora: Ugh, what a nasty way to talk! 2.3 ::A :=Rank: to make. When that's done I'll have a pretty accurate idea of when the final 2.3 ::A :=Rank: is likely to begin. I want to ask you a favour. Helmer's a sensitive chap, and 2.3 ::A :=Rank: I want to ask you a favour. Helmer's a sensitive chap, and I know how he hates 2.3 ::A :=Rank: I'll send you my visiting card with a black cross on it, and then you'll know 2.3 ::A :=Nora: evening. And I did hope you'd be in a good mood. 2.3 ::A :=Rank: must pay for the fun my father had as a gay young lieutenant. 2.3 ::A :=Rank: Especially a poor spine that never got any pleasure 2.3 ::A :=Rank: You're a worse little rogue than I thought. 2.3 ::A :=Nora: Who will find a replacement? 2.3 ::A :=Rank: when I am gone. You seem to have made a start already, haven't you? What was this 2.3 ::A :=Nora: the soles. Oh well, I suppose you can look a bit higher if you want to. 2.3 ::A :=Rank: I can't really give you a qualified opinion on that. 2.3 ::A :=Rank: token of gratitude behind; hardly even a passing sense of loss; only an empty place, 2.3 ::A :=Nora: No, I mean -- to do me a very great service -- 2.3 ::A :=Rank: that before I go. I shall never have a better opportunity . . . Well, Nora, now 2.3 ::A :=Nora: Honestly. Well, upon my word you are a fine gentleman, Dr. Rank. Aren't you ashamed 2.3 ::A :=Rank: That was what misled me. You're a riddle to me, you know. I'd often felt 2.3 ::A :=Nora: in his study -- keep him talking for a bit -- 2.4 ::A :=Nora: But didn't you tell him I had a visitor? 2.4 ::A :=Nora: mustn't tell anyone about this. It's a surprise for my husband. 2.4 ::A :=Krogstad: Yes, a bad lawyer like me -- 2.4 ::A :=Krogstad: It'd be a stupid thing to do anyway. Once the first 2.4 ::A :=Krogstad: little domestic explosion is over . . . I've got a letter in my pocket here addressed 2.4 ::A :=Krogstad: up. Your husband's going to create a new job for me -- 2.4 ::A :=Krogstad: I know him. He won't dare to risk a scandal. And once I'm in there with him, 2.4 ::A :=Krogstad: in there with him, you'll see! Within a year I'll be his right-hand man. It'll 2.4 ::A :=Krogstad: Oh, you can't frighten me. A pampered little pretty like you -- 2.5 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: you? You look as though you'd seen a ghost! 2.5 ::A :=Nora: know what's happened. I've committed a forgery -- 2.5 ::A :=Nora: Oh, how could you understand? A -- miracle -- is about to happen. 2.5 ::A :=Nora: Yes. A miracle. But it's so frightening, Christine. 2.5 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: Once upon a time he'd have done anything for my sa 2.5 ::A :=Nora: Oh, how should I know -- ? Oh yes, wait a moment -- ! Here's his card. But the 2.5 ::A :=Helmer: Well, may a man enter his own drawing-room again? Come 2.5 ::A :=Nora: of business -- I won't even let you touch a pen. Promise me, Torvald? 2.5 ::A :=Helmer: from the way you're behaving, there's a letter from him already lying there. 2.5 ::A :=Helmer: I say! What's this, a banquet? 2.5 ::A :=Nora: you too, Dr. Rank. I'll be with you in a minute. Christine, you must help me put 2.5 ::A :=Helmer: dear chap. She just gets scared like a child sometimes -- I told you before - 2.5 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: He'll be back tomorrow evening. I left a note for him. 2.5 ::A :=Nora: now. Anyway, it's wonderful really, in a way -- sitting here and waiting for the 2.5 ::A :=Nora: in and join them. I'll be with you in a moment. 3.1 ::A :=Krogstad: I found a note from you at my lodgings. What does 3.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: Well, Krogstad. You and I must have a talk together. 3.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: We have a great deal to discuss. 3.1 ::A :=Krogstad: It's the old story, isn't it -- a woman chucking a man because something 3.1 ::A :=Krogstad: story, isn't it -- a woman chucking a man because something better turns up? 3.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: You mustn't forget I had a helpless mother to take care of, and two 3.1 ::A :=Krogstad: under my feet. Look at me. Now I am a shipwrecked man, clinging to a spar. 3.1 ::A :=Krogstad: I am a shipwrecked man, clinging to a spar. 3.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: Then itUs taught you a useful lesson. But surely you still believe 3.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: You said you were like a shipwrecked man clinging to a spar. 3.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: like a shipwrecked man clinging to a spar. 3.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: Castaways have a better chance of survival together than 3.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: now that with me you might have become a different person. 3.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: I need someone to be a mother to; and your children need a mother. 3.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: be a mother to; and your children need a mother. And you and I need each other. 3.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: I know what despair can drive a man like you to. 3.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: Nils, a woman who has sold herself once for the 3.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: at first, when I was frightened. But a day has passed since then, and in that 3.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: must be revealed. They must come to a full understanding; there must be an end 3.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: What a change! Oh, what a change! Someone to work 3.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: What a change! Oh, what a change! Someone to work for -- to live 3.1 ::A :=Mrs. Linde: Someone to work for -- to live for! A home to bring joy into! I won't let this 3.2 ::A :=Helmer: Well, take a good look at her. She's worth looking at, 3.2 ::A :=Helmer: She dances her tarantella -- makes a roaring success -- and very well deserved 3.2 ::A :=Helmer: very well deserved -- though possibly a trifle too realistic -- more so than was 3.2 ::A :=Helmer: mind that. Main thing is -- she had a success -- roaring success. Was I going 3.2 ::A :=Helmer: Capricienne, what? -- under my arm -- a swift round of the ballroom, a curtsey 3.2 ::A :=Helmer: arm -- a swift round of the ballroom, a curtsey to the company, and, as they say 3.2 ::A :=Helmer: your right hand and go in and out in a slow, easy movement -- like this. I am 3.2 ::A :=Helmer: up and down -- makes you look like a damned Chinaman. I say, that really was 3.2 ::A :=Helmer: Chinaman. I say, that really was a magnificent champagne they served us. 3.2 ::A :=Helmer: Not a bit. On the contrary, I feel extraordinarily 3.2 ::A :=Helmer: my little songbird's talking just like a real big human being. I say, did you notice 3.2 ::A :=Nora: Oh? Was he? I didn't have a chance to speak with him. 3.2 ::A :=Helmer: did. But I haven't seen him in such a jolly mood for ages. I say, it's nice to 3.2 ::A :=Helmer: alone with you. Upon my word, you're a distractingly beautiful young woman. 3.2 ::A :=Helmer: I saw you dance the tarantella, like a huntress, a temptress, my blood grew hot, 3.2 ::A :=Helmer: dance the tarantella, like a huntress, a temptress, my blood grew hot, I couldn't 3.2 ::A :=Rank: It's me. May I come in for a moment? 3.2 ::A :=Helmer: Oh, what does he want now? Wait a moment. Well! Nice of you not to go by 3.2 ::A :=Rank: dear rooms, how well I know them. What a happy, peaceful home you two have. 3.2 ::A :=Helmer: You seemed to be having a pretty happy time yourself upstairs. 3.2 ::A :=Nora: Torvald drank a lot of champagne too, this evening. 3.2 ::A :=Rank: Well, why shouldn't a man have a merry evening after a well-spent 3.2 ::A :=Rank: Well, why shouldn't a man have a merry evening after a well-spent day? 3.2 ::A :=Rank: a man have a merry evening after a well-spent day? 3.2 ::A :=Nora: Dr. Rank -- you've been carrying out a scientific experiment today, haven't y 3.2 ::A :=Rank: So aren't I entitled to have a merry evening after that? 3.2 ::A :=Helmer: You try to think of a costume that'll convey that. 3.2 ::A :=Helmer: Well, that's a funny idea. 3.2 ::A :=Rank: There's a big, black hat -- haven't you heard of 3.2 ::A :=Rank: what I came for. Helmer, give me a cigar. One of your black Havanas. 3.2 ::A :=Nora: Let me give you a light. 3.3 ::A :=Helmer: -- ? Surely not one of the maids? Here's a broken hairpin. Nora, it's yours 3.3 ::A :=Helmer: There's a black cross above his name. Look. Rather 3.3 ::A :=Helmer: now he's going to slink away and hide like a wounded beast. 3.3 ::A :=Helmer: He was so much a part of our life. I can't realize that 3.3 ::A :=Helmer: and loneliness seemed to provide a kind of dark background to the happy sunlight 3.3 ::A :=Helmer: Oh, what a dreadful awakening? For eight whole years 3.3 ::A :=Helmer: -- she who was my joy and my pride -- a hypocrite, a liar -- worse, worse -- a 3.3 ::A :=Helmer: my joy and my pride -- a hypocrite, a liar -- worse, worse -- a criminal! Oh, 3.3 ::A :=Helmer: a hypocrite, a liar -- worse, worse -- a criminal! Oh, the hideousness of it! Shame 3.3 ::A :=Helmer: to contemplate! I am in the power of a man who is completely without scruples. 3.3 ::A :=Helmer: and ruin simply for the weakness of a woman. 3.3 ::A :=Maid: A letter for madam. 3.3 ::A :=Helmer: he is sorry for what has happened -- a happy accident has changed his life -- 3.3 ::A :=Helmer: shall merely regard the whole business as a dream. There. Now they're destroyed. 3.3 ::A :=Nora: Yes. It's been a hard fight. 3.3 ::A :=Helmer: You have loved me as a wife should love her husband. It was simply 3.3 ::A :=Helmer: you. I shall guide you. I would not be a true man if your feminine helplessness 3.3 ::A :=Helmer: safe here; I shall watch over you like a hunted dove which I have snatched unharmed 3.3 ::A :=Helmer: you don't understand what goes on in a husband's heart. There is something indescribably 3.3 ::A :=Helmer: wonderful and satisfying for a husband in knowing that he has forgiven 3.3 ::A :=Helmer: that she has become his property in a double sense; he has, as it were, brought 3.4 ::A :=Nora: Sit down here, Torvald. You and I have a lot to talk about. 3.4 ::A :=Nora: Sit down. It's going to take a long time. I've a lot to say to you. 3.4 ::A :=Nora: It's going to take a long time. I've a lot to say to you. 3.4 ::A :=Nora: you and I, man and wife, have ever had a serious talk together? 3.4 ::A :=Nora: first met -- we have never exchanged a serious word on a serious subject. 3.4 ::A :=Nora: have never exchanged a serious word on a serious subject. 3.4 ::A :=Nora: point. You have never understood me. A great wrong has been done to me, Torvald. 3.4 ::A :=Helmer: Nora, what kind of a way is this to talk? 3.4 ::A :=Helmer: What kind of a way is that to describe our marriage? 3.4 ::A :=Nora: I don't really know -- I think it was a little of both -- first one and then the 3.4 ::A :=Nora: it's as if I've been living here like a pauper, from hand to mouth. I performed 3.4 ::A :=Nora: wanted it. You and Papa have done me a great wrong. It's your fault that I have 3.4 ::A :=Nora: our home has never been anything but a playroom. I've been your doll-wife, just 3.4 ::A :=Helmer: There may be a little truth in what you say, though you 3.4 ::A :=Nora: Didn't you say yourself a few minutes ago that you dare not leave 3.4 ::A :=Helmer: In a moment of excitement. Surely you don't 3.5 ::A :=Nora: be easiest for me to find some kind of a job there. 3.5 ::A :=Helmer: First and foremost you are a wife and a mother. 3.5 ::A :=Helmer: First and foremost you are a wife and a mother. 3.5 ::A :=Nora: I believe that I am first and foremost a human being, like you -- or anyway, that 3.5 ::A :=Helmer: But it's unheard of for so young a woman to behave like this! If religion 3.5 ::A :=Nora: that such laws can be right. Has a woman really not the right to spare her 3.5 ::A :=Helmer: You're talking like a child. You don't understand how society 3.5 ::A :=Nora: -- well, good heavens, I'm not such a fool as to suppose that miracles occur 3.5 ::A :=Nora: out there, it never occurred to me for a moment that you would let that man trample 3.5 ::A :=Nora: thinking I wouldn't have accepted such a sacrifice from you? No, of course I wouldn't! 3.5 ::A :=Helmer: Oh, you think and talk like a stupid child. 3.5 ::A :=Nora: years I have been living here with a complete stranger, and have borne him three 3.5 ::A :=Helmer: I see it, I see it. A gulf has indeed opened between us. Oh, 3.5 ::A :=Nora: I can't spend the night in a strange man's house. 3.5 ::A :=Nora: Listen, Torvald. When a wife leaves her husband's house, as I'm 3.5 ::A :=Helmer: Nora -- can I never be anything but a stranger to you? 3.5 ::A :=Nora: together between us two could become a marriage. Goodbye. 1.1 ::ABLE :=Nora: you, Torvald, thank you! I should be able to manage with this. 1.2 ::ABLE :=Nora: percentages too. From now on we'll be able to live quite differently -- we'll be 1.2 ::ABLE :=Nora: to live quite differently -- we'll be able to do whatever we want. Oh, Christine, 1.2 ::ABLE :=Nora: understand. You mean Torvald might be able to do something for you? 1.2 ::ABLE :=Mrs. Linde: I am both proud and happy that I was able to make my mother's last months on earth 1.3 ::ABLE :=Nora: there as best I can. I haven't been able to save much on the housekeeping money, 1.3 ::ABLE :=Nora: blue, -- and then perhaps we'll be able to take a little trip somewhere. I shall 1.3 ::ABLE :=Nora: a little trip somewhere. I shall be able to see the sea again. Oh, yes, yes, 1.4 ::ABLE :=Helmer: Well then, it's quite likely I may be able to find some job for you -- 2.1 ::ABLE :=Nora: Anne-Marie, from now on I shan't be able to spend so much time with them. 2.3 ::ABLE :=Rank: And not to be able to leave even the most wretched token 1.1 ::ABOUT :=Helmer: But what about the people I'd borrowed from? 1.1 ::ABOUT :=Nora: Them? Who cares about them? They're strangers. 1.1 ::ABOUT :=Helmer: seriously, Nora, you know how I feel about this. No debts! Never borrow! A home 1.1 ::ABOUT :=Nora: Torvald; then I'll have time to think about what I need most. Isn't that the best 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Mrs. Linde: No, no, no. I want to hear about you. 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Nora: selfish today, I'm just going to think about you. Oh, but there's one thing I must 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Nora: And of course Torvald's been very firm about that -- and I'm absolutely with him. 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Nora: of money and not to have to worry about anything. Don't you think? 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Mrs. Linde: Oh, I see. Didn't he die just about that time? 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Nora: Yes, Christine, just about then. Wasn't it dreadful, I couldn't 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Nora: how beastly of me! I'm only talking about myself. Oh, please don't be angry with 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Mrs. Linde: to be angry. That's the worst thing about this kind of situation -- it makes 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Mrs. Linde: egocentric. When you told me about this luck you've just had with Torvald's 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Mrs. Linde: It's sweet of you to bother so much about me, Nora. Especially since you know 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Mrs. Linde: Nora dear, you've just told me about all your difficulties -- 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Nora: Pooh -- that! I haven't told you about the big thing. 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Nora: done something to be proud and happy about. 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Nora: done something to be happy and proud about. It was I who saved Torvald's life 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Nora: I told you about our trip to Italy. Torvald couldn't 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Mrs. Linde: And you've never told your husband about this? 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Nora: What an idea! He's frightfully strict about such matters. And besides -- he's so 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Nora: What do you want to talk to my husband about? 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Nora: don't know. But don't let's talk about business. It's so boring. 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Nora: Oh? What did he want to talk to Torvald about? 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Rank: idea. All I heard was something about the bank. 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Nora: What do I care about society? I think it's a bore. I was 1.5 ::ABOUT :=Krogstad: We won't talk about that for the present. There's something 1.5 ::ABOUT :=Krogstad: Look, let's not beat about the bush. There's still time, and I'd 1.5 ::ABOUT :=Krogstad: money; that's the last thing I care about. There's something else -- well, you 1.5 ::ABOUT :=Krogstad: hand to the kind of business you know about. I had to do something; and I don't 1.5 ::ABOUT :=Nora: and my joy -- that he should hear about it in such a filthy, beastly way -- 1.5 ::ABOUT :=Nora: in such a filthy, beastly way -- hear about it from you! It'd involve me in the 1.5 ::ABOUT :=Nora: If my husband hears about it, he will of course immediately pay 1.5 ::ABOUT :=Krogstad: memory or else you know very little about financial transactions. I had better 1.5 ::ABOUT :=Krogstad: conditions. You were so worried about your husband's illness and so keen 1.5 ::ABOUT :=Krogstad: that I don't think you bothered much about the details. So it won't be out of 1.5 ::ABOUT :=Krogstad: But to return to what we were speaking about -- that was a difficult time for you 1.5 ::ABOUT :=Krogstad: of his death. There's nothing criminal about that. It's the signature itself I'm 1.5 ::ABOUT :=Krogstad: the signature itself I'm wondering about. It is genuine, I suppose, Mrs. Helmer? 1.5 ::ABOUT :=Nora: I couldn't bother about that. I didn't care about you. I hated 1.5 ::ABOUT :=Nora: bother about that. I didn't care about you. I hated you because of all the 1.5 ::ABOUT :=Nora: her husband's life? I don't know much about the law, but there must be something 1.5 ::ABOUT :=Nora: things are allowed. You ought to know about that, you're meant to be a lawyer, 1.5 ::ABOUT :=Krogstad: you'll admit I understand something about that? Good. Do as you please. But I 1.6 ::ABOUT :=Nora: yes, I know. But don't talk to anyone about the strange gentleman. You hear? Not 1.6 ::ABOUT :=Nora: there's nothing to be frightened about. The Christmas tree must be beautiful. 1.6 ::ABOUT :=Helmer: of course it is. So let's hear no more about that. Ah, how cosy and peaceful it 1.6 ::ABOUT :=Helmer: of this read before dinner. I'll think about your costume too. And I may even have 2.1 ::ABOUT :=Nora: No one will come. I just mustn't think about it. Brush this muff. Pretty gloves, 2.1 ::ABOUT :=Nora: gloves, pretty gloves! Don't think about it, don't think about it! One, two, 2.1 ::ABOUT :=Nora: Don't think about it, don't think about it! One, two, three, four, five, six 2.1 ::ABOUT :=Mrs. Linde: Nora, how on earth did you get to know about such things? 2.1 ::ABOUT :=Nora: with women who -- well, who know about medical matters, and they tell one 2.1 ::ABOUT :=Nora: home. So naturally, I stopped talking about them. But I often chat with Dr. Rank 2.1 ::ABOUT :=Nora: them. But I often chat with Dr. Rank about that kind of thing. He enjoys it, you 2.1 ::ABOUT :=Mrs. Linde: Last night you were speaking about this rich admirer of yours who was 2.1 ::ABOUT :=Nora: What on earth are you talking about? 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Helmer: isn't that business you were talking about this morning? 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Nora: those dreadful men wrote in the papers about Papa! The most frightful slanders. 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Helmer: to dismiss Krogstad. If the rumour got about that the new manager had allowed his 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Rank: out. And there's nothing to be done about it. 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Nora: sure you understand -- I feel the same about Torvald as I did about Papa. 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Nora: I feel the same about Torvald as I did about Papa. 2.4 ::ABOUT :=Nora: Helen, you mustn't tell anyone about this. It's a surprise for my husba 2.4 ::ABOUT :=Krogstad: you, Mrs. Helmer. I've been thinking about you all day. Even duns and hack journalists 2.4 ::ABOUT :=Nora: My husband must never know about this. 2.4 ::ABOUT :=Krogstad: keep it. No one else need ever hear about it. So in case you were thinking of 2.5 ::ABOUT :=Nora: you, no one else knows anything about this. I did it entirely on my own. 2.5 ::ABOUT :=Nora: you understand? A -- miracle -- is about to happen. 2.5 ::ABOUT :=Nora: Torvald always opens the box at just about this time -- 2.5 ::ABOUT :=Nora: You mustn't think about anything but me -- today or tomorrow. 2.5 ::ABOUT :=Helmer: Aha, you're still worried about that fellow -- 3.1 ::ABOUT :=Mrs. Linde: same position as you. No one to care about, no one to care for. 3.1 ::ABOUT :=Krogstad: ? Is it possible? Tell me -- you know all about my past? 3.2 ::ABOUT :=Helmer: pretty little heart. What's to be done about that? Would you believe it, I practically 3.2 ::ABOUT :=Helmer: extraordinarily exhilarated. But what about you? Yes, you look very sleepy and 3.2 ::ABOUT :=Helmer: And then when we're about to go, and I wrap the shawl round your 3.2 ::ABOUT :=Helmer: You little gadabout! Are you thinking about the next one already? 3.3 ::ABOUT :=Nora: When your friend is about to die -- ? 3.3 ::ABOUT :=Nora: What about me? 3.3 ::ABOUT :=Helmer: my whole world seemed to be tumbling about my ears. I have forgiven you, Nora. 3.4 ::ABOUT :=Nora: Torvald. You and I have a lot to talk about. 3.4 ::ABOUT :=Nora: Doesn't anything strike you about the way we're sitting here? 3.4 ::ABOUT :=Nora: I'm not talking about worries. I'm simply saying that we 3.4 ::ABOUT :=Nora: he used to tell me what he thought about everything, so that I never had any 3.4 ::ABOUT :=Nora: And what about me? Am I fit to educate the childr 3.4 ::ABOUT :=Nora: own feet if I am to find out the truth about myself and about life. So I can't go 3.4 ::ABOUT :=Nora: to find out the truth about myself and about life. So I can't go on living here 3.5 ::ABOUT :=Helmer: And you feel quite sure about this too? 3.5 ::ABOUT :=Nora: leave the keys here. The servants know about everything to do with the house -- 3.3 ::ABOVE :=Helmer: There's a black cross above his name. Look. Rather gruesome, isn't 1.3 ::ABROAD :=Nora: how wonderful it would be for me to go abroad like other young wives; I cried and 1.5 ::ABROAD :=Krogstad: so keen to get the money to take him abroad that I don't think you bothered much 3.2 ::ABSOLUTE :=Rank: Absolute certainty. So aren't I entitled 1.2 ::ABSOLUTELY :=Nora: been very firm about that -- and I'm absolutely with him. Oh, you can imagine 1.4 ::ABSOLUTELY :=Helmer: There's absolutely no need. But now I'm afraid I 3.2 ::ABSOLUTELY :=Helmer: Nora -- soon the whole house will be absolutely quiet. 3.3 ::ABSOLUTELY :=Helmer: I must empty the letter-box. It's absolutely full. There'll be no room for 3.5 ::ABSOLUTELY :=Nora: Yes, absolutely sure. That's why I can't go on 3.5 ::ACCEPT :=Nora: books. But I'm no longer prepared to accept what people say and what's written 3.5 ::ACCEPT :=Nora: I'd imagined them to be; but I can't accept that such laws can be right. Has a 3.5 ::ACCEPT :=Nora: I tell you, no. I don't accept things from strangers. 3.5 ::ACCEPTED :=Nora: You're thinking I wouldn't have accepted such a sacrifice from you? No, of 3.3 ::ACCIDENT :=Helmer: sorry for what has happened -- a happy accident has changed his life -- oh, what 3.3 ::ACCOMPLICE :=Helmer: easily be suspected of having been an accomplice in your crime. People may think 1.6 ::ACCORD :=Helmer: pretend you were doing it of your own accord? You weren't going to tell me he'd 1.5 ::ACCORDING :=Krogstad: to the police, you will be judged according to it. 3.5 ::ACCORDING :=Nora: house, as I'm doing now, I'm told that according to the law he is freed of any obligations 1.2 ::ACCOUNT :=Mrs. Linde: -- I was happy not so much on your account, as on my own. 2.3 ::ACCURATE :=Rank: When that's done I'll have a pretty accurate idea of when the final disintegration 1.6 ::ACROSS :=Helmer: Oh, my dear, I've come across it so often in my work at the bar. 1.1 ::ACT :=Nora: You know I could never act against your wishes. 2.4 ::ACT :=Krogstad: it's your husband who's forced me to act like this. And for that I'll never forget 3.3 ::ACT :=Helmer: the less because you don't know how to act on your own initiative? No, no. Just 1.6 ::ACTION :=Helmer: as to condemn a man for an isolated action. 2.4 ::ACTION :=Krogstad: seriously. I'm not going to take any action for the present. 3.1 ::ACTIONS :=Mrs. Linde: But surely you still believe in actions? 1.2 ::ACTUALLY :=Nora: Well, actually, we got it from my father. 1.5 ::ADDED :=Krogstad: Exactly. But then I added a few lines naming your father as security 1.5 ::ADDED :=Krogstad: he signed, and someone else could have added it before the news came of his death. 2.2 ::ADDRESS :=Helmer: that he delivers it. Immediately! The address is on the envelope. Here's the m 2.4 ::ADDRESSED :=Krogstad: is over . . . I've got a letter in my pocket here addressed to your husband 2.3 ::ADIEU :=Rank: no. But perhaps I ought to say -- adieu? 1.3 ::ADMIRER :=Nora: other way. I could have got it from an admirer. When a girl's as pretty as I am 2.1 ::ADMIRER :=Mrs. Linde: you were speaking about this rich admirer of yours who was going to give you 3.2 ::ADMIRING :=Helmer: Well, Mrs. Linde, finished admiring her? 1.5 ::ADMISSION :=Krogstad: do you realize this is a dangerous admission? 1.5 ::ADMIT :=Krogstad: been transacting -- I think you'll admit I understand something about that? 1.6 ::ADMIT :=Helmer: in re-establishing themselves if they admit their crime and take their punishm 2.3 ::ADVICE :=Nora: far too much --I want your help and advice, and I want you to do something for 1.5 ::ADVISE :=Krogstad: the bush. There's still time, and I'd advise you to use your influence to stop 3.2 ::AESTHETICALLY :=Helmer: too realistic -- more so than was aesthetically necessary, strictly speaking. 2.3 ::AFFECT :=Nora: that all those lovely things should affect one's spine. 1.1 ::AFFORD :=Helmer: Well, you know, we canUt afford to be extravagant. 1.1 ::AFFORD :=Nora: Only as much as you feel you can afford; then later I'll buy something with 2.1 ::AFFORD :=Nurse: girl what's got into trouble can't afford to pick and choose. That good-for-nothing 1.2 ::AFRAID :=Nora: No, I'm afraid I -- Yes, wait a minute -- surely 1.2 ::AFRAID :=Nora: you. I've three lovely children. I'm afraid you can't see them now, because they're 1.3 ::AFRAID :=Nora: know Torvald had forbidden them. He's afraid they'll ruin my teeth. But, dash it 1.4 ::AFRAID :=Helmer: There's absolutely no need. But now I'm afraid I must ask you to excuse me -- 1.4 ::AFRAID :=Nora: nuisance we're so cramped here -- I'm afraid we can't offer to -- 1.5 ::AFRAID :=Nora: I'm not afraid of you any longer. Once the New Year 1.5 ::AFRAID :=Krogstad: domestic unpleasantness you were afraid of. 3.1 ::AFRAID :=Mrs. Linde: other. I believe in you, Nils. I am afraid of nothing -- with you. 3.2 ::AFRAID :=Mrs. Linde: Yes. I got here too late, I'm afraid. You'd already gone up. And I felt 3.3 ::AFRAID :=Helmer: frightened little songbird. Don't be afraid. I have broad wings to shield you. 1.2 ::AFTER :=Nora: it dreadful, I couldn't go and look after him. I was expecting little Ivar any 1.2 ::AFTER :=Nora: we mustn't delay. So we went the month after Papa died. 1.2 ::AFTER :=Mrs. Linde: they've got jobs now and can look after themselves. 1.3 ::AFTER :=Nora: Of course. Well, after all, it was my problem. Whenever Torvald 1.3 ::AFTER :=Nora: used to dream up as I sat here evening after evening wondering how on earth I could 1.4 ::AFTER :=Nora: on the stove. What? A big dog ran after you? But he didn't bite you? No, dogs 1.5 ::AFTER :=Krogstad: father signed this paper three days after his death. 2.3 ::AFTER :=Nora: After this? 2.4 ::AFTER :=Nora: It's happening. It's happening after all. No, no, no, it can't happen, it 3.2 ::AFTER :=Helmer: Was I going to let her stay on after that and spoil the impression? No, 3.2 ::AFTER :=Rank: shouldn't a man have a merry evening after a well-spent day? 3.2 ::AFTER :=Rank: I entitled to have a merry evening after that? 3.5 ::AFTER :=Nora: here from home. I'll have them sent on after me. 1.5 ::AFTERWARDS :=Krogstad: He did in fact die shortly afterwards? 2.4 ::AFTERWARDS :=Nora: But afterwards? When I'm no longer -- ? 3.2 ::AFTERWARDS :=Nora: Yes. It always makes him merry afterwards. 1.1 ::AGAIN :=Helmer: little squanderbird been overspending again? 1.1 ::AGAIN :=Helmer: I'll have to put my hand in my pocket again. 1.1 ::AGAIN :=Nora: Oh, are you going to bring that up again? How could I help the cat getting in 1.2 ::AGAIN :=Nora: live. Dear, kind Papa! I never saw him again, Christine. Oh, it's the saddest thing 1.3 ::AGAIN :=Nora: I shall be able to see the sea again. Oh, yes, yes, it's a wonderful thing 1.5 ::AGAIN :=Nora: hurt Mummy. When he's gone we'll start playing again. 1.6 ::AGAIN :=Children: No, Mummy. Will you play with us again now? 1.6 ::AGAIN :=Helmer: My little songbird must never do that again. A songbird must have a clean beak 2.1 ::AGAIN :=Nurse: What, out again? In this dreadful weather? You'll catch 2.1 ::AGAIN :=Nurse: once when she got confirmed and then again when she got married. 2.2 ::AGAIN :=Helmer: you really the nerve to bring that up again? 2.3 ::AGAIN :=Rank: Today again? You see! 2.4 ::AGAIN :=Krogstad: I'll tell you. I want to get on my feet again, Mrs. Helmer. I want to get to the 2.4 ::AGAIN :=Krogstad: And then, in the spring, to float up again, ugly, unrecognizable, hairless -- 2.5 ::AGAIN :=Helmer: may a man enter his own drawing-room again? Come on, Rank, now we'll see what 3.1 ::AGAIN :=Mrs. Linde: others doesn't make the same mistake again. 3.2 ::AGAIN :=Helmer: it's nice to get back to one's home again, and be all alone with you. Upon my 3.3 ::AGAIN :=Nora: Never see him again. Never. Never. Never. Never see the 3.3 ::AGAIN :=Nora: Never. Never. Never see the children again. Them too. Never. Never. Oh -- the 3.3 ::AGAIN :=Helmer: go on telling ourselves over and over again: "It's over! It's over!" Listen to 3.3 ::AGAIN :=Helmer: to calm yourself and get your balance again, my frightened little songbird. Don't 3.3 ::AGAIN :=Helmer: Never be frightened of anything again, Nora. Just open your heart to me. 1.1 ::AGAINST :=Nora: You know I could never act against your wishes. 3.5 ::AGAINST :=Nora: what would my word have counted for against yours? That was the miracle I was 3.2 ::AGES :=Helmer: seen him in such a jolly mood for ages. I say, it's nice to get back to one's 1.2 ::AGO :=Mrs. Linde: Yes. Three years ago. 1.3 ::AGO :=Mrs. Linde: I used to know him -- some years ago. He was a solicitor's clerk in our town, 1.5 ::AGO :=Krogstad: as everyone else does, that some years ago I committed an indiscretion. 3.4 ::AGO :=Nora: Didn't you say yourself a few minutes ago that you dare not leave them in my c 1.1 ::AGREE :=Helmer: that one has ample income. Don't you agree? It's good to know that, isn't it? 1.3 ::AGREE :=Nora: But, dash it -- for once -- ! Don't you agree, Dr. Rank? Here! You too, Christine. 3.2 ::AGREE :=Helmer: I agree. Provided you don't have to regret 1.5 ::AGREED :=Nora: Haven't I repaid the instalments as agreed? 3.2 ::AGREED :=Helmer: Nora, my sweet. You know what we agreed. Come along, now. Into the drawing-room. 1.3 ::AH :=Nora: Ah, but when a wife has a little business 1.3 ::AH :=Nora: Yes, with a lot of children. Ah, now it's alight. 1.3 ::AH :=Rank: Ah! A name I have often heard in this house. 1.3 ::AH :=Rank: Ah, is that all? Then I take it you've come 1.4 ::AH :=Helmer: Ah. A childhood friend of my wife's, I p 1.4 ::AH :=Nora: parcels alone, Ivar. What's in them? Ah, wouldn't you like to know! No, no; it's 1.6 ::AH :=Helmer: is. So let's hear no more about that. Ah, how cosy and peaceful it is here. 2.1 ::AH :=Nora: One, two, three, four, five, six -- Ah -- they're coming -- ! 2.1 ::AH :=Mrs. Linde: just come away. Needle and thread? Ah, here we are. 2.3 ::AH :=Rank: Ah, so that's your big secret? 2.5 ::AH :=Mrs. Linde: Ah -- ! 3.1 ::AH :=Mrs. Linde: time left. Please God he hasn't -- ! Ah, here he is. Come in. There's no one 3.1 ::AH :=Mrs. Linde: my fingers. Oh, why don't they come? Ah, here they are. I must get my coat on 3.2 ::AH :=Helmer: here. What's this? It's dark in here. Ah, yes, of course -- excuse me. 3.2 ::AH :=Rank: voice, so I felt I had to say goodbye. Ah, yes -- the dear rooms, how well I know 3.2 ::AH :=Helmer: Ah yes, of course. 3.3 ::AH :=Helmer: to break them of that habit. Hm, hm. Ah, that's done it. Helen! Helen! Put out 3.3 ::AH :=Helmer: Ah, poor fellow. I knew I wouldn't be seeing 3.3 ::AH :=Nora: Ah -- ! 3.3 ::AH :=Helmer: over! Why are you looking so pale? Ah, my poor little Nora, I understand. You 3.3 ::AH :=Helmer: disown you, or even to reproach you? Ah, Nora, you don't understand what goes 1.6 ::AHA :=Helmer: Aha! So little Miss Independent's in trouble 2.3 ::AHA :=Nora: Aha! But surely you can't be jealous of poor 2.5 ::AHA :=Helmer: Aha! 2.5 ::AHA :=Helmer: Aha, you're still worried about that fellow 2.2 ::AHEAD :=Helmer: You're simply imagining things. You go ahead now and do your tarantella, and get 1.3 ::AIR'LL :=Nora: it'll soon be spring, and the air'll be fresh and the skies blue, -- and 1.5 ::AJAR :=Krogstad: I beg your pardon; the front door was ajar. Someone must have forgotten to close 3.4 ::ALARM :=Helmer: You alarm me, Nora. I don't understand you. 2.5 ::ALARMED :=Helmer: Now, now, don't get alarmed. We're not coming in; you've closed 1.3 ::ALIGHT :=Nora: with a lot of children. Ah, now it's alight. 1.2 ::ALIVE :=Nora: isn't it a wonderful thing to be alive and happy! Oh, but how beastly of me! 1.2 ::ALIVE :=Mrs. Linde: Well, my mother was still alive; and she was helpless and bedridden. 1.3 ::ALIVE :=Nora: yes, yes, it's a wonderful thing to be alive and happy! 1.3 ::ALIVE :=Nora: Dr. Rank. I bet you want to stay alive. 1.1 ::ALL :=Helmer: disturb me! Bought, did you say? All that? Has my little squanderbird been 1.1 ::ALL :=Helmer: fifty pounds today, and you spent it all over Christmas, and then on New Year's 1.1 ::ALL :=Helmer: with it. But you'll spend it on all sorts of useless things for the house, 1.1 ::ALL :=Helmer: flowers for the Christmas tree, and all those other things you were going to 1.1 ::ALL :=Helmer: But it all came to nothing in the end, didn't i 1.1 ::ALL :=Helmer: wanted to make us happy, and that's all that matters. But it's good that those 1.1 ::ALL :=Nora: have to any longer? Oh, it's really all just like a miracle. Now, I'm going to 1.2 ::ALL :=Nora: time for me! So you've come to town? All that way in winter! How brave of you 1.2 ::ALL :=Nora: Nothing at all, then? 1.2 ::ALL :=Nora: All alone. How dreadful that must be for 1.2 ::ALL :=Nora: quite dreadfully. He had to take on all sorts of extra jobs, and worked day and 1.2 ::ALL :=Nora: You're like the rest. You all think I'm incapable of getting down to 1.2 ::ALL :=Mrs. Linde: Nora dear, you've just told me about all your difficulties -- 1.3 ::ALL :=Mrs. Linde: You? All of it? 1.3 ::ALL :=Nora: completely useless, am I? Mind you, all this has caused me a frightful lot of 1.3 ::ALL :=Nora: Of course. Well, after all, it was my problem. Whenever Torvald 1.3 ::ALL :=Nora: any more! No more troubles! I can play all day with the children, I can fill the 1.3 ::ALL :=Rank: Ah, is that all? Then I take it you've come to town to 1.3 ::ALL :=Rank: long as possible. It's the same with all my patients; and with people who are 1.3 ::ALL :=Rank: you wouldn't know him. He's crippled all right; morally twisted. But even he started 1.3 ::ALL :=Rank: I haven't the faintest idea. All I heard was something about the bank 1.3 ::ALL :=Nora: All right, all right, don't get frightened. 1.3 ::ALL :=Nora: All right, all right, don't get frightened. You weren't 1.4 ::ALL :=Nora: And imagine, now she's travelled all this way to talk to you. 1.4 ::ALL :=Nora: Bob shall hide first. You want me to? All right, let me hide first. 1.5 ::ALL :=Krogstad: the worst. But now I want to give up all that. My sons are growing up; for their 1.5 ::ALL :=Nora: All right, do it! You'll be the one who'll 1.5 ::ALL :=Nora: care about you. I hated you because of all the beastly difficulties you'd put in 1.6 ::ALL :=Helmer: him promises -- and then, on top of it all, to tell me an untruth! 1.6 ::ALL :=Nora: I can't think of anything to wear. It all seems so stupid and meaningless. 1.6 ::ALL :=Helmer: so often in my work at the bar. Nearly all young criminals are the children of mothers 1.6 ::ALL :=Helmer: Krogstad has been sitting at home all these years poisoning his children with 2.1 ::ALL :=Nurse: They're all rumpled up. 2.1 ::ALL :=Nurse: Why, madam! They'll be all right. Just a little patience. 2.1 ::ALL :=Nora: had it made for me in Italy; now it's all so torn, I don't know -- 2.1 ::ALL :=Nora: love with me that he wants to have me all to himself -- those were his very words. 2.2 ::ALL :=Helmer: Nice -- to give in to your husband? All right, little silly, I know you didn't 2.2 ::ALL :=Helmer: But I am; and I hope to remain so all my life. 2.2 ::ALL :=Helmer: to settle this matter once and for all. Take this letter downstairs at once. 2.2 ::ALL :=Nora: don't realize what this may do to us all! 2.2 ::ALL :=Helmer: won't hear anything, and you can make all the noise you want. When Dr. Rank comes, 2.3 ::ALL :=Rank: to oneself. I am the most wretched of all my patients, Mrs. Helmer. These last 2.3 ::ALL :=Rank: With death on my hands? And all this to atone for someone else's sin? 2.3 ::ALL :=Rank: Yes, you're right. Laughter's all the damned thing's fit for. My poor innocent 2.3 ::ALL :=Nora: And all that port and champagne to wash them 2.3 ::ALL :=Nora: to wash them down. It's too sad that all those lovely things should affect one's 2.3 ::ALL :=Nora: Oh yes, that's the saddest thing of all. 2.3 ::ALL :=Rank: And now to have to leave it all -- 2.3 ::ALL :=Nora: sweet Dr. Rank, I didn't mean that at all. But I'm sure you understand -- I feel 2.3 ::ALL :=Nora: No, no, nothing at all. It's just something that -- it's my 2.4 ::ALL :=Nora: It's happening. It's happening after all. No, no, no, it can't happen, it mustn't 2.4 ::ALL :=Krogstad: Don't worry, I'll show him all the respect he deserves. But since you're 2.4 ::ALL :=Krogstad: Helmer. I've been thinking about you all day. Even duns and hack journalists have 2.4 ::ALL :=Krogstad: It can all be settled quite amicably. There's no 2.4 ::ALL :=Krogstad: been clean. I've been in hard straits all that time; I was content to fight my 2.5 ::ALL :=Nora: Christine, all I want is for you to be my witness. 2.5 ::ALL :=Nora: try to take the blame, and say it was all his fault -- you understand -- ? 2.5 ::ALL :=Mrs. Linde: All right. But I simply don't understand 2.5 ::ALL :=Nora: No, I haven't practised at all yet. 2.5 ::ALL :=Nora: me you will? Oh, I'm so nervous. All those people -- ! You must forget everything 2.5 ::ALL :=Helmer: No, no, this won't do at all. 2.5 ::ALL :=Nora: ugly to come between us till it's all over. 2.5 ::ALL :=Nora: All right. Go and sit down -- and you too, 3.1 ::ALL :=Mrs. Linde: you, I thought it my duty to destroy all the feelings you had for me. 3.1 ::ALL :=Krogstad: When I lost you, it was just as though all solid ground had been swept from under 3.1 ::ALL :=Krogstad: Wouldn't it? I'd do it all the same. 3.1 ::ALL :=Krogstad: I don't believe all that. You're just being hysterical and 3.1 ::ALL :=Krogstad: -- ? Is it possible? Tell me -- you know all about my past? 3.1 ::ALL :=Krogstad: All right, I'll go. It's no good, Christine. 3.1 ::ALL :=Mrs. Linde: understanding; there must be an end of all these shiftings and evasions. 3.2 ::ALL :=Helmer: -- can't help it. Look -- arms all huddled up -- great clumsy needles going 3.2 ::ALL :=Helmer: I hope you'll manage to get home all right? I'd gladly -- but you haven't 3.2 ::ALL :=Helmer: get back to one's home again, and be all alone with you. Upon my word, you're 3.2 ::ALL :=Helmer: at my most treasured possession? At all this wonderful beauty that's mine, mine 3.2 ::ALL :=Helmer: beauty that's mine, mine alone, all mine. 3.2 ::ALL :=Helmer: that nobody knows there's anything at all between us. 3.2 ::ALL :=Helmer: young and trembling and beautiful. All evening I've had no eyes for anyone but 3.2 ::ALL :=Nora: Get away from me! I don't want all this. 3.3 ::ALL :=Nora: bottomless -- that -- ! Oh, it only it were all over! Now he's got it -- he's reading 3.3 ::ALL :=Helmer: happen. I should have foreseen it. All your father's recklessness and instability 3.3 ::ALL :=Helmer: instability -- be quiet! -- I repeat, all your father's recklessness and instability 3.3 ::ALL :=Helmer: Now you have destroyed all my happiness. You have ruined my whole 3.3 ::ALL :=Helmer: me in the slightest. He can still make all the facts public; and if he does, I may 3.3 ::ALL :=Helmer: it was I who encouraged you! And for all this I have to thank you, you whom I 3.3 ::ALL :=Helmer: I have carried on my hands through all the years of our marriage! Now do you 3.3 ::ALL :=Helmer: so dearly -- and whom I still -- ! Well, all that must finished. Henceforth 3.3 ::ALL :=Helmer: it will happen, believe me. Tomorrow all this will seem quite different. Soon 3.4 ::ALL :=Helmer: Did you expect me to drag you into all my worries -- worries you couldn't possibly 3.4 ::ALL :=Nora: go in and play games with them. That's all our marriage has been, Torvald. 3.5 ::ALL :=Nora: this and that. When I get away from all this and can think things out on my own, 3.5 ::ALL :=Nora: that you would step forward and take all the blame on yourself, and say: "I am 3.5 ::ALL :=Nora: All the more necessary that it should ha 1.5 ::ALLOWED :=Nora: that says that such things are allowed. You ought to know about that, you're 2.2 ::ALLOWED :=Helmer: got about that the new manager had allowed his wife to persuade him to change 2.2 ::ALLOWED :=Helmer: I might conceivably have allowed myself to ignore his moral obloquies 2.3 ::ALLOWED :=Rank: On any pretext. I shan't have him allowed in. As soon as I know the worst, 2.3 ::ALLOWED :=Rank: mustn't punish me like this. Let me be allowed to do what I can for you. 2.5 ::ALLOWED :=Nora: Yes, no one's to be allowed to see me before tomorrow night. 1.1 ::ALMOST :=Nora: Yes, it's almost like a miracle. 1.3 ::ALMOST :=Nora: borrow the money. But then he got almost angry with me, Christine. He said 1.3 ::ALMOST :=Nora: working and earning money. It was almost like being a man. 2.1 ::ALMOST :=Nora: a good friend to me too. Dr. Rank's almost one of the family. 2.3 ::ALMOST :=Nora: whom one loves, and others whom it's almost more fun to be with. 3.2 ::ALMOST :=Rank: You noticed that too? It's almost incredible how much I managed to get 3.5 ::ALMOST :=Helmer: Nora, you're ill; you're feverish. I almost believe you're out of your mind. 1.2 ::ALONE :=Nora: All alone. How dreadful that must be for you. 1.4 ::ALONE :=Nora: little baby dolls. Leave those parcels alone, Ivar. What's in them? Ah, wouldn't 3.1 ::ALONE :=Mrs. Linde: entrance. Come in. We're quite alone. The maid's asleep, and the Helmers 3.1 ::ALONE :=Mrs. Linde: of my life -- my only joy. But now I'm alone in the world, and I feel so dreadfully 3.2 ::ALONE :=Helmer: back to one's home again, and be all alone with you. Upon my word, you're a distractingly 3.2 ::ALONE :=Helmer: wonderful beauty that's mine, mine alone, all mine. 3.2 ::ALONE :=Helmer: time -- that, for the first time, I am alone with you -- quite along with you, as 1.5 ::ALONG :=Krogstad: within five or six days you brought it along to me with your father's signature 3.2 ::ALONG :=Helmer: sweet. You know what we agreed. Come along, now. Into the drawing-room. You'll 3.2 ::ALONG :=Helmer: time, I am alone with you -- quite along with you, as you stand there young 3.2 ::ALOOF :=Helmer: I say so little to you, why I keep so aloof from you, and just throw you an occasional 1.2 ::ALREADY :=Nora: and you look practically finished already. It'd be much better for you if you 1.4 ::ALREADY :=Nora: can teach her even more than she knows already -- 1.6 ::ALREADY :=Nora: Oh -- are you back already? 1.6 ::ALREADY :=Nora: Already? 2.2 ::ALREADY :=Helmer: My little skylark does that already. 2.2 ::ALREADY :=Helmer: me to keep him. Everyone at the bank already knows that I intend to dismiss Krogstad. 2.3 ::ALREADY :=Rank: am gone. You seem to have made a start already, haven't you? What was this Mrs. 2.5 ::ALREADY :=Helmer: behaving, there's a letter from him already lying there. 3.2 ::ALREADY :=Mrs. Linde: I got here too late, I'm afraid. You'd already gone up. And I felt I really couldn't 3.2 ::ALREADY :=Helmer: Oh, already? Does this knitting belong to yo 3.2 ::ALREADY :=Helmer: Are you thinking about the next one already? 1.2 ::ALSO :=Nora: And you're also proud of what you've done for your 1.5 ::ALSO :=Krogstad: to risk bumping into me; and now I also realize whom I have to thank for being 2.3 ::ALSO :=Rank: . . . Well, Nora, now you know that. And now you also know that you can trust 3.3 ::ALSO :=Helmer: anew; she is now not only his wife but also his child. From now on that is what 3.5 ::ALSO :=Helmer: Can you also explain why I have lost your love? 1.1 ::ALWAYS :=Helmer: Just like your father used to be. Always on the look-out for some way to get 1.2 ::ALWAYS :=Nora: write to you so often, honestly. But I always put it off, and something else always 1.2 ::ALWAYS :=Nora: always put it off, and something else always cropped up. 1.3 ::ALWAYS :=Nora: never used more than half of it; and I always bought what was the cheapest and plainest. 1.6 ::ALWAYS :=Helmer: with that load on his conscience must always be lying and cheating and dissembling; 2.1 ::ALWAYS :=Mrs. Linde: for nothing. But, tell me. Is Dr. Rank always in such low spirits as he was yes 2.3 ::ALWAYS :=Nora: Oh, you know very well I've always time to talk to you. 2.3 ::ALWAYS :=Nora: Oh, I always think it's enormous fun having you 2.3 ::ALWAYS :=Nora: of course I loved Papa best. But I always used to think it was terribly amusing 2.5 ::ALWAYS :=Nora: Yes, he always keeps it. 2.5 ::ALWAYS :=Nora: But Torvald always opens the box at just about this time 2.5 ::ALWAYS :=Nora: dear. Correct me, lead me, the way you always do. 3.1 ::ALWAYS :=Mrs. Linde: if I'm to find life worth living. I've always worked, for as long as I can remember; 3.2 ::ALWAYS :=Helmer: disappeared! And exit should always be dramatic, Mrs. Linde. But unfortunately 3.2 ::ALWAYS :=Nora: Oh, you're always right, whatever you do. 3.2 ::ALWAYS :=Nora: Yes. It always makes him merry afterwards. 3.3 ::ALWAYS :=Helmer: don't be melodramatic. Your father was always ready with that kind of remark. How 3.4 ::ALWAYS :=Nora: No. I've just had fun. You've always been very kind to me. But our home 3.5 ::ALWAYS :=Nora: to have to say it, because you've always been so kind to me. But I can't help 1.1 ::AM :=Nora: So am I. And, Torvald, how the children will 1.2 ::AM :=Nora: children are fit and healthy and so am I. Oh God, oh God, Christine, isn't it 1.2 ::AM :=Mrs. Linde: anyone, Nora. But you're right -- I am both proud and happy that I was able to 1.3 ::AM :=Nora: admirer. When a girl's as pretty as I am -- 1.3 ::AM :=Nora: Christine? I'm not completely useless, am I? Mind you, all this has caused me a 1.5 ::AM :=Krogstad: Your father was very ill, if I am not mistaken. 2.2 ::AM :=Helmer: man of unassailable reputation. But I am; and I hope to remain so all my life. 2.2 ::AM :=Helmer: staff -- give people the idea that I am open to outside influence? Believe me, 2.2 ::AM :=Helmer: Krogstad to remain in the bank while I am its manager. 2.2 ::AM :=Helmer: What did you say? Petty? You think I am petty? 2.2 ::AM :=Helmer: me lacking in strength or courage. I am man enough to bear the burden for us 2.3 ::AM :=Rank: No, it's no good lying to oneself. I am the most wretched of all my patients, 2.3 ::AM :=Rank: this poor body of mine, and I find I am bankrupt. Within a month I may be rotting 2.3 ::AM :=Rank: You and Helmer both will, when I am gone. You seem to have made a start already, 2.3 ::AM :=Rank: Indeed I am. She will be my successor in this house. 2.3 ::AM :=Rank: Nora -- Mrs. Helmer -- I am asking you, did you know this? 2.3 ::AM :=Rank: Well, at any rate now you know that I am ready to serve you, body and soul. So 2.4 ::AM :=Nora: I am. 2.4 ::AM :=Nora: I am. 3.1 ::AM :=Krogstad: from under my feet. Look at me. Now I am a shipwrecked man, clinging to a spar 3.1 ::AM :=Mrs. Linde: each other. I believe in you, Nils. I am afraid of nothing -- with you. 3.2 ::AM :=Helmer: a slow, easy movement -- like this. I am right, aren't I? 3.2 ::AM :=Nora: Yes, I am very tired. Soon I shall sleep. 3.2 ::AM :=Helmer: time -- that, for the first time, I am alone with you -- quite along with you, 3.3 ::AM :=Nora: Yes. Now I am beginning to understand. 3.3 ::AM :=Helmer: it's too dreadful to contemplate! I am in the power of a man who is completely 3.3 ::AM :=Helmer: anything -- I dare not disobey him. I am condemned to humiliation and ruin simply 3.3 ::AM :=Nora: When I am gone from this world, you will be fre 3.3 ::AM :=Helmer: it once more. Yes, yes, it's true! I am saved! Nora, I am saved! 3.3 ::AM :=Helmer: yes, it's true! I am saved! Nora, I am saved! 3.4 ::AM :=Nora: And what about me? Am I fit to educate the children? 3.4 ::AM :=Nora: I must stand on my own feet if I am to find out the truth about myself and 3.5 ::AM :=Nora: that any longer. I believe that I am first and foremost a human being, like 3.5 ::AM :=Nora: don't know. I don't know where I am in these matters. I only know that these 3.5 ::AM :=Nora: all the blame on yourself, and say: "I am the one who is guilty!" 3.5 ::AM :=Nora: As I am now, I am no wife for you. 3.5 ::AM :=Nora: As I am now, I am no wife for you. 3.5 ::AM :=Nora: in better hands than mine. As I am now, I can be nothing to them. 2.4 ::AMICABLY :=Krogstad: It can all be settled quite amicably. There's no need for it to become 2.4 ::AMONG :=Krogstad: for it to become public. We'll keep it among the three of us. 3.2 ::AMONG :=Helmer: Do you know -- when I'm out with you among other people like we were tonight, 1.1 ::AMPLE :=Helmer: position is assured and that one has ample income. Don't you agree? It's good 1.3 ::AMUSES :=Nora: me as he does now; when it no longer amuses him to see me dance and dress up and 1.3 ::AMUSING :=Nora: Never you mind! Yes, I find it very amusing to think that we -- I mean, Torvald 2.3 ::AMUSING :=Nora: I always used to think it was terribly amusing to go down and talk to the servants; 3.2 ::AMUSING :=Rank: Yes, if the disguises are sufficiently amusing. 1.1 ::AN :=Helmer: little creature, but she gets through an awful lot of money. It's incredible what 1.1 ::AN :=Helmer: lot of money. It's incredible what an expensive pet she is for a man to kee 1.2 ::AN :=Nora: it saved Torvald's life. But it cost an awful lot of money, Christine. 1.3 ::AN :=Nora: other way. I could have got it from an admirer. When a girl's as pretty as I 1.3 ::AN :=Nora: For heaven's sake, no! What an idea! He's frightfully strict about such 1.3 ::AN :=Nora: It's awfully difficult to keep an exact check on these kind of transactions. 1.3 ::AN :=Rank: Is that an approved remedy for being run down? 1.4 ::AN :=Helmer: I'll only be an hour. 1.5 ::AN :=Nora: But since you ask, you shall have an answer. Yes, Mrs. Linde is to be employed 1.5 ::AN :=Krogstad: does, that some years ago I committed an indiscretion. 1.5 ::AN :=Krogstad: to get you the money in exchange for an I.O.U., which I drew up. 1.6 ::AN :=Helmer: and then, on top of it all, to tell me an untruth! 1.6 ::AN :=Nora: An untruth? 1.6 ::AN :=Nora: been so busy, I was going to ask you an enormous favour, Torvald. 1.6 ::AN :=Helmer: so heartless as to condemn a man for an isolated action. 1.6 ::AN :=Helmer: Because an atmosphere of lies contaminates and poisons 2.1 ::AN :=Nora: comes here every day! Why, that'd be an impossible situation! 2.2 ::AN :=Helmer: this anxiety. Though it is a bit of an insult to me. Oh, but it is! Isn't it 2.2 ::AN :=Helmer: insult to me. Oh, but it is! Isn't it an insult to imply that I should be frightened 2.3 ::AN :=Rank: even a passing sense of loss; only an empty place, to be filled by the next 2.3 ::AN :=Nora: loves me -- he'd never hesitate for an instant to lay down his life for me - 3.1 ::AN :=Krogstad: and romantic. You want to find an excuse for self-sacrifice. 3.1 ::AN :=Mrs. Linde: to a full understanding; there must be an end of all these shiftings and evasio 3.2 ::AN :=Nora: not letting me stay -- just half an hour longer. 3.2 ::AN :=Helmer: But knitting, now -- that's an ugly business -- can't help it. Look -- 3.2 ::AN :=Helmer: so aloof from you, and just throw you an occasional glance? Do you know why I do 3.3 ::AN :=Helmer: right. This news has upset us both. An ugliness has come between us; thoughts 3.3 ::AN :=Helmer: easily be suspected of having been an accomplice in your crime. People may think 3.5 ::AN :=Helmer: lies in your own home? Haven't you an infallible guide in such matter -- your 3.5 ::AN :=Nora: Oh, Torvald, that isn't an easy question to answer. I simply don't 1.1 ::AND :=Nora: Just now. Come out here, Torvald, and see what IUve bought. 1.1 ::AND :=Nora: tiny bit? YouUve got a big salary now, and youUre going to make lots and lots of 1.1 ::AND :=Nora: now, and youUre going to make lots and lots of money. 1.1 ::AND :=Helmer: I were to borrow fifty pounds today, and you spent it all over Christmas, and 1.1 ::AND :=Helmer: and you spent it all over Christmas, and then on New Year's Eve a tile fell off 1.1 ::AND :=Helmer: debts can never be a place of freedom and beauty. We two have stuck it out bravely 1.1 ::AND :=Helmer: have stuck it out bravely up to now; and we shall continue to do so for the short 1.1 ::AND :=Nora: to show you everything I've bought. And so cheaply! Look, here are new clothes 1.1 ::AND :=Nora: Look, here are new clothes for Ivar -- and a sword. And a horse and trumpet for 1.1 ::AND :=Nora: new clothes for Ivar -- and a sword. And a horse and trumpet for Bob. And a doll 1.1 ::AND :=Nora: for Ivar -- and a sword. And a horse and trumpet for Bob. And a doll and a cradle 1.1 ::AND :=Nora: And a horse and trumpet for Bob. And a doll and a cradle for Emmy -- they're 1.1 ::AND :=Nora: horse and trumpet for Bob. And a doll and a cradle for Emmy -- they're nothing 1.1 ::AND :=Nora: she'll pull them apart in a few day. And some bits of material and handkerchiefs 1.1 ::AND :=Nora: a few day. And some bits of material and handkerchiefs for the maids. Old Anne-Marie 1.1 ::AND :=Helmer: And what's in that parcel? 1.1 ::AND :=Nora: wrap up the notes in pretty gold paper and hang them on the Christmas tree. Wouldn't 1.1 ::AND :=Helmer: be, if you could keep what I give you and really buy yourself something with it. 1.1 ::AND :=Helmer: sorts of useless things for the house, and then I'll have to put my hand in my pocket 1.1 ::AND :=Nora: only knew how many expenses we larks and squirrels have, Torvald. 1.1 ::AND :=Helmer: any it just runs through your fingers, and you never know where it's gone. Well, 1.1 ::AND :=Helmer: And I wouldn't wish my darling little songbird 1.1 ::AND :=Helmer: Of course not. And you've given me your word -- Well, my 1.1 ::AND :=Nora: So am I. And, Torvald, how the children will love 1.1 ::AND :=Helmer: to know that one's position is assured and that one has ample income. Don't you 1.1 ::AND :=Helmer: make flowers for the Christmas tree, and all those other things you were going 1.1 ::AND :=Nora: How could I help the cat getting in and tearing everything into bits? 1.1 ::AND :=Helmer: You simply wanted to make us happy, and that's all that matters. But it's good 1.1 ::AND :=Helmer: I don't have to sit by myself and be bored. And you don't have to tire 1.1 ::AND :=Helmer: have to sit by myself and be bored. And you don't have to tire your pretty eyes 1.1 ::AND :=Helmer: don't have to tire your pretty eyes and your delicate little hands -- 1.2 ::AND :=Maid: And the doctor's here too, sir. 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: Christine! And I didn't recognize you! But how could 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: Now let's sit down here by the stove and be comfortable. No, you take the armchair. 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: got a little paler, though, Christine. And perhaps a bit thinner. 1.2 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: And older, Nora. Much, much older. 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: but how thoughtless of me to sit here and chatter away like this! Dear, sweet Christine, 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: honestly. But I always put it off, and something else always cropped up. 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: darling, what you've gone through! And he didn't leave you anything? 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: case that isn't -- well -- quite nice. And of course Torvald's been very firm about 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: Torvald's been very firm about that -- and I'm absolutely with him. Oh, you can 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: He's joining the bank in the New Year, and he'll be getting a big salary, and lots 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: and he'll be getting a big salary, and lots of percentages too. From now on 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: it's lovely to have heaps of money and not to have to worry about anything. 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: our needs! We're going to have heaps and heaps of money! 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: -- fancy work, crocheting, embroidery and so forth. And other things too. I suppose 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: crocheting, embroidery and so forth. And other things too. I suppose you know 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: of promotion in his department, and of course he needed more money. But the 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: to take on all sorts of extra jobs, and worked day and night. But it was too 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: sorts of extra jobs, and worked day and night. But it was too much for him, and 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: night. But it was too much for him, and he became frightfully ill. The doctors 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: to do it. Oh, it was a marvelous trip! And it saved Torvald's life. But it cost 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: Two hundred and fifty pounds. That's a lot of money, 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: Wasn't it dreadful, I couldn't go and look after him. I was expecting little 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: I was expecting little Ivar any day. And then I had my poor Torvald to care for 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: Yes. Well, we had the money, you see, and the doctors said we mustn't delay. So 1.2 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: And your husband came back completely cu 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: anyone's ill. He's our best friend, and he looks us up at least once every day. 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: a moment's illness since we went away. And the children are fit and healthy and 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: we went away. And the children are fit and healthy and so am I. Oh God, oh God, 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: And the children are fit and healthy and so am I. Oh God, oh God, Christine, isn't 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: isn't it a wonderful thing to be alive and happy! Oh, but how beastly of me! I'm 1.2 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: Well, my mother was still alive; and she was helpless and bedridden. And I 1.2 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: was still alive; and she was helpless and bedridden. And I had my two little brothers 1.2 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: and she was helpless and bedridden. And I had my two little brothers to take 1.2 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: Nora. When he died it went bankrupt, and there was nothing left. 1.2 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: somehow, so I started a little shop, and a little school, and anything else I 1.2 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: a little shop, and a little school, and anything else I could turn my hand to. 1.2 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: need me any more; she's passed away. And the boys don't need me either; they've 1.2 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: need me either; they've got jobs now and can look after themselves. 1.2 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: fine some work here that will exercise and occupy my mind. If only I could get a 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: that's dreadfully exhausting; and you look practically finished already. 1.2 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: so bitter. One has no one to work for; and yet one has to be continually sponging 1.2 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: sponging for jobs. One has to live; and so one becomes completely egocentric. 1.2 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: you know so little of the worries and hardships of life. 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: proud that you've worked so long and so hard for your mother. 1.2 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: But you're right -- I am both proud and happy that I was able to make my mother's 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: And you're also proud of what you've done 1.2 ::AND :=Nora: I too have done something to be proud and happy about. 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: I too have done something to be happy and proud about. It was I who saved Torvald's 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: So Torvald and everyone else thinks. But -- 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: Two hundred and fifty pounds. What do you say to tha 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: a wife has a little business sense, and knows how to be clever -- 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: they told that his life was in danger and that only going to a warm climate could 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: abroad like other young wives; I cried and prayed; I asked him to remember my condition, 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: I asked him to remember my condition, and said he ought to be nice and tender to 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: and said he ought to be nice and tender to me; and then I suggested he 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: he ought to be nice and tender to me; and then I suggested he might quite easily 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: Christine. He said I was frivolous, and that it was his duty as a husband not 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: as a husband not to pander to my moods and caprices -- I think that's what he called 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: you've got to be saved somehow. And then I thought of a way -- 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: thought of letting him into the plot and asking him not to tell. But since he 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: to tell. But since he was so ill -- ! And as things turned out, it didn't become 1.3 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: And you've never told your husband about 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: frightfully strict about such matters. And besides -- he's so proud of being a man 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: of being a man -- it'd be so painful and humiliating for him to know that he owed 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: no longer amuses him to see me dance and dress up and play the fool for him. Then 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: him to see me dance and dress up and play the fool for him. Then it might 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: things called quarterly instalments and interest, and they're a terrible problem 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: quarterly instalments and interest, and they're a terrible problem to cope with. 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: So I've had to scrape a little here and save a little there as best I can. I 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: because Torvald likes to live well; and I couldn't let the children go short 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: I never used more than half of it; and I always bought what was the cheapest 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: I always bought what was the cheapest and plainest. Thank heaven anything suits 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: And then I've found one or two other sources 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: copying to do. So I shut myself away and wrote every evening, late into the night. 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: fun, though, sitting there working and earning money. It was almost like being 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: know where to turn. Then I'd sit here and imagine some rich old gentleman had fallen 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: Silly! And that now he'd died and when they opened 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: Silly! And that now he'd died and when they opened his will it said in 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: things, just the way Torvald likes. And, Christine, it'll soon be spring, and 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: And, Christine, it'll soon be spring, and the air'll be fresh and the skies blue, 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: be spring, and the air'll be fresh and the skies blue, -- and then perhaps we'll 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: air'll be fresh and the skies blue, -- and then perhaps we'll be able to take a 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: it's a wonderful thing to be alive and happy! 1.3 ::AND :=Krogstad: it. I hold a minor post in the bank, and I hear your husband is to become our 1.3 ::AND :=Rank: dear chap, don't see me out. I'll go and have a word with your wife. Oh, I beg 1.3 ::AND :=Rank: It's the same with all my patients; and with people who are morally sick, too. 1.3 ::AND :=Rank: trying to smell out moral corruption? And when they find a case they give him some 1.3 ::AND :=Nora: you agree, Dr. Rank? Here! You too, Christine. and I'll have one too. Just a 1.3 ::AND :=Rank: Oh? And what is that? 1.4 ::AND :=Nora: And imagine, now she's travelled all this 1.4 ::AND :=Nora: frightfully good at office work, and she's mad to come under some really clever 1.4 ::AND :=Nora: she came her as quickly as she could and -- Torvald, you will, won't you? Do a 1.4 ::AND :=Helmer: And you have experience of office work? 1.4 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: dream of it. Goodbye, Nora dear, and thanks for everything. 1.4 ::AND :=Nora: coming back this evening, of course. And you too, Dr. Rank. What? If you're well 1.4 ::AND :=Nora: red cheeks you've got! Like apples and roses! Have you had fun? That's splendid. 1.4 ::AND :=Nora: fun? That's splendid. You gave Emmy and Bob a ride on the sledge? What, both 1.4 ::AND :=Nora: let me; it's such fun. Go inside and warm yourself; you look frozen. There's 1.4 ::AND :=Nora: play a game. What shall we play? Hide and seek. Yes, let's play hide and seek. 1.4 ::AND :=Nora: Hide and seek. Yes, let's play hide and seek. Bob shall hide first. You want 1.5 ::AND :=Krogstad: I was sitting in the cafe down below and I saw your husband cross the street 1.5 ::AND :=Nora: Linde is to be employed by the bank. And I arranged it, Mr. Krogstad. Now you 1.5 ::AND :=Krogstad: your friend to risk bumping into me; and now I also realize whom I have to thank 1.5 ::AND :=Krogstad: about the bush. There's still time, and I'd advise you to use your influence 1.5 ::AND :=Krogstad: you know about. I had to do something; and I don't think I was one of the worst. 1.5 ::AND :=Krogstad: bank was the first step on the ladder. And now your husband wants to kick me off 1.5 ::AND :=Krogstad: And if I did? 1.5 ::AND :=Nora: trick! This secret that is my pride and my joy -- that he should hear about it 1.5 ::AND :=Nora: my husband the kind of man you are, and then you'll never keep your job. 1.5 ::AND :=Nora: immediately pay you whatever is owing. And then we shall have nothing more to do 1.5 ::AND :=Krogstad: you came to me to borrow two hundred and fifty pounds. 1.5 ::AND :=Nora: And you did find it. 1.5 ::AND :=Krogstad: worried about your husband's illness and so keen to get the money to take him 1.5 ::AND :=Nora: Yes, and which I signed. 1.5 ::AND :=Krogstad: And of course you posted it at once; for 1.5 ::AND :=Krogstad: I took the trouble to confirm it. And that leaves me with a curious little 1.5 ::AND :=Krogstad: Can you suggest any explanation? And there's another curious thing. The words 1.5 ::AND :=Krogstad: thing. The words "second of October" and the year are written in a hand which 1.5 ::AND :=Krogstad: to write in the date when he signed, and someone else could have added it before 1.5 ::AND :=Krogstad: a crime than the one I once committed, and thereby ruined my whole social posit 1.5 ::AND :=Nora: right to shield her father from worry and anxiety when he's old and dying? Hasn't 1.5 ::AND :=Nora: from worry and anxiety when he's old and dying? Hasn't a wife the right to save 1.6 ::AND :=Nora: Now -- candles here -- and flowers here. That loathsome man! Nonsense, 1.6 ::AND :=Helmer: tell from your face, he's been here and asked you to put in a good word for 1.6 ::AND :=Helmer: And you were to pretend you were doing it 1.6 ::AND :=Helmer: Nora, Nora! And you were ready to enter into such a conspiracy? 1.6 ::AND :=Helmer: Talking to a man like that, and making him promises -- and then, on top 1.6 ::AND :=Helmer: like that, and making him promises -- and then, on top of it all, to tell me an 1.6 ::AND :=Helmer: hear no more about that. Ah, how cosy and peaceful it is here. 1.6 ::AND :=Helmer: And I'm terribly curious to see what you're 1.6 ::AND :=Nora: to wear. It all seems so stupid and meaningless. 1.6 ::AND :=Helmer: certain immediate changes in the staff and organization. I want to have everything 1.6 ::AND :=Nora: help me to decide what I shall go as, and what kind of costume I ought to wear 1.6 ::AND :=Helmer: little Miss Independent's in trouble and needs a man to rescue her, does she? 1.6 ::AND :=Helmer: themselves if they admit their crime and take their punishment. 1.6 ::AND :=Helmer: didn't do that. He chose to try and trick his way out of it; and that's what 1.6 ::AND :=Helmer: to try and trick his way out of it; and that's what has morally destroyed hi 1.6 ::AND :=Helmer: on his conscience must always be lying and cheating and dissembling; how he must 1.6 ::AND :=Helmer: must always be lying and cheating and dissembling; how he must wear a mask 1.6 ::AND :=Helmer: are dearest to him, even his own wife and children! Yes, the children. That's the 1.6 ::AND :=Helmer: an atmosphere of lies contaminates and poisons every corner of the home. Every 1.6 ::AND :=Helmer: Every lawyer knows that only too well. And yet this fellow Krogstad has been sitting 1.6 ::AND :=Helmer: poisoning his children with his lies and pretences. That's why I say that, morally 1.6 ::AND :=Nora: How hot it is in here! And I've so much to do. 1.6 ::AND :=Helmer: Yes, and I must try to get some of this read before 1.6 ::AND :=Helmer: I'll think about your costume too. And I may even have something up my sleeve 2.1 ::AND :=Nora: Yes, of course. I'll go and get Mrs. Linde to help me. 2.1 ::AND :=Nurse: got into trouble can't afford to pick and choose. That good-for-nothing didn't 2.1 ::AND :=Nurse: me twice, once when she got confirmed and then again when she got married. 2.1 ::AND :=Nora: And if my little ones had no one else, I 2.1 ::AND :=Nora: If I could be sure no one would come, and nothing would happen while I was away! 2.1 ::AND :=Nora: night upstairs at Consul Stenborg's, and Torvald wants me to go as a Neapolitan 2.1 ::AND :=Nora: me to go as a Neapolitan fisher-girl and dance the tarantella. I learned it on 2.1 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: the stitching's just come away. Needle and thread? Ah, here we are. 2.1 ::AND :=Nora: frightful creature who kept mistresses and so on. As a result Dr. Rank has been 2.1 ::AND :=Nora: well, who know about medical matters, and they tell one a thing or two. 2.1 ::AND :=Nora: day. He's Torvald's oldest friend, and a good friend to me too. Dr. Rank's almost 2.1 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: a child; I'm a bit older than you and have a little more experience of the 2.1 ::AND :=Nora: Yes, and who doesn't exist -- unfortunately. But 2.1 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: And he has no dependents? 2.1 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: And he comes here to see you every day? 2.1 ::AND :=Nora: got to get out of this other business; and that's been going on behind his back. 2.1 ::AND :=Nora: And you can tear it into a thousand pieces 2.1 ::AND :=Nora: you can tear it into a thousand pieces and burn the filthy, beastly thing! 2.2 ::AND :=Nora: I'd turn myself into a little fairy and dance for you in the moonlight, Torv 2.2 ::AND :=Nora: hadn't sent you down to investigate, and you hadn't been so kind and helpful to 2.2 ::AND :=Nora: and you hadn't been so kind and helpful to him. 2.2 ::AND :=Helmer: difference between your father and me. Your father was not a man of unassailable 2.2 ::AND :=Helmer: of unassailable reputation. But I am; and I hope to remain so all my life. 2.2 ::AND :=Nora: not dig up. We could be so peaceful and happy now, Torvald -- we could be free 2.2 ::AND :=Nora: could be free from every worry -- you and I and the children. Oh, please, Torvald, 2.2 ::AND :=Nora: be free from every worry -- you and I and the children. Oh, please, Torvald, please 2.2 ::AND :=Helmer: And I hear he's quite efficient at his job. 2.2 ::AND :=Helmer: that one enters into over-hastily and so often comes to regret later in life. 2.2 ::AND :=Helmer: well, we're on Christian name terms. And the tactless idiot makes no attempt to 2.2 ::AND :=Helmer: the whole time, with "Torvald this," and "Torvald that." I can tell you, I find 2.2 ::AND :=Helmer: Oh? And why not? 2.2 ::AND :=Helmer: I'm going to settle this matter once and for all. Take this letter downstairs 2.2 ::AND :=Helmer: downstairs at once. Find a messenger and see that he delivers it. Immediately! 2.2 ::AND :=Helmer: We shall share it, Nora -- as man and wife. And that is as it should be. Are 2.2 ::AND :=Helmer: share it, Nora -- as man and wife. And that is as it should be. Are you happy 2.2 ::AND :=Helmer: imagining things. You go ahead now and do your tarantella, and get some practice 2.2 ::AND :=Helmer: go ahead now and do your tarantella, and get some practice on that tambourine. 2.2 ::AND :=Helmer: that tambourine. I'll sit in my study and close the door. Then I won't hear anything, 2.2 ::AND :=Helmer: the door. Then I won't hear anything, and you can make all the noise you want. 2.3 ::AND :=Nora: do it. He will do it. He will do it, and nothing'll stop him. No, never that. 2.3 ::AND :=Rank: And -- you? 2.3 ::AND :=Rank: I'm on the way out. And there's nothing to be done about it. 2.3 ::AND :=Rank: the books of this poor body of mine, and I find I am bankrupt. Within a month 2.3 ::AND :=Rank: a favour. Helmer's a sensitive chap, and I know how he hates anything ugly. I 2.3 ::AND :=Rank: card with a black cross on it, and then you'll know that the final filthy 2.3 ::AND :=Nora: being quite impossible this evening. And I did hope you'd be in a good mood. 2.3 ::AND :=Rank: With death on my hands? And all this to atone for someone else's 2.3 ::AND :=Rank: else's sin? Is there justice in that? And in every single family, in one way or 2.3 ::AND :=Nora: You mean he was too fond of asparagus and foie gras? 2.3 ::AND :=Rank: Yes; and truffles too. 2.3 ::AND :=Nora: Yes, of course, truffles, yes. And oysters too, I suppose? 2.3 ::AND :=Nora: And all that port and champagne to wash them 2.3 ::AND :=Nora: And all that port and champagne to wash them down. It's too 2.3 ::AND :=Nora: Dear, dear Dr. Rank, you mustn't die and leave Torvald and me. 2.3 ::AND :=Nora: you mustn't die and leave Torvald and me. 2.3 ::AND :=Rank: One finds replacements, and then -- 2.3 ::AND :=Rank: You and Helmer both will, when I am gone. You 2.3 ::AND :=Nora: see how beautifully I shall dance; and you must imagine that I'm doing it just 2.3 ::AND :=Nora: that I'm doing it just for you. And for Torvald, of course; obviously. Dr. 2.3 ::AND :=Nora: obviously. Dr. Rank, sit down here and I'll show you something. 2.3 ::AND :=Rank: And now to have to leave it all -- 2.3 ::AND :=Rank: And not to be able to leave even the most 2.3 ::AND :=Nora: It's far too much --I want your help and advice, and I want you to do something 2.3 ::AND :=Nora: much --I want your help and advice, and I want you to do something for me. 2.3 ::AND :=Nora: yes, more than anyone. You're my best and truest friend. Otherwise I couldn't tell 2.3 ::AND :=Rank: opportunity . . . Well, Nora, now you know that. And now you also know that 2.3 ::AND :=Nora: No -- but that you should go and tell me. That was quite unnecessary 2.3 ::AND :=Rank: that I am ready to serve you, body and soul. So -- please continue. 2.3 ::AND :=Nora: there are some people whom one loves, and others whom it's almost more fun to be 2.3 ::AND :=Nora: it was terribly amusing to go down and talk to the servants; because they never 2.3 ::AND :=Nora: they never told me what I ought to do; and they were such fun to listen to. 2.3 ::AND :=Nora: Yes, yes. Go in and talk to him -- he's in his study -- keep 2.4 ::AND :=Krogstad: little? He knows what I can do to you, and yet he dares to -- 2.4 ::AND :=Krogstad: thinking about you all day. Even duns and hack journalists have hearts, you kn 2.4 ::AND :=Krogstad: Have you and your husband thought of mine? Well, let's 2.4 ::AND :=Nora: how much you want from my husband, and I'll find it for you. 2.4 ::AND :=Krogstad: Mrs. Helmer. I want to get to the top. And your husband's going to help me. For 2.4 ::AND :=Krogstad: I've been chucked back into the mud, and I'm not going to be satisfied with just 2.4 ::AND :=Krogstad: I'm going to get back into the bank, and it's going to be higher up. Your husband's 2.4 ::AND :=Krogstad: him. He won't dare to risk a scandal. And once I'm in there with him, you'll see! 2.4 ::AND :=Krogstad: ice? Down in the cold, black water? And then, in the spring, to float up again, 2.4 ::AND :=Krogstad: And you can't frighten me. People don't do 2.4 ::AND :=Krogstad: don't do such things Mrs. Helmer. And anyway, what'd be the use? I've got him 2.4 ::AND :=Krogstad: my letter, he'll get in touch with me. And remember, it's your husband who's forced 2.4 ::AND :=Krogstad: who's forced me to act like this. And for that I'll never forget him. Goodbye, 2.5 ::AND :=Nora: Yes. And now Torvald's going to discover ever 2.5 ::AND :=Nora: If I should go out of my mind -- and it might easily happen -- 2.5 ::AND :=Nora: If anyone should try to take the blame, and say it was all his fault -- you understand 2.5 ::AND :=Nora: -- I know exactly what I'm saying -- and I'm telling you, no one else knows anything 2.5 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: I'll go over and talk to Krogstad. 2.5 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: And your husband has the key? 2.5 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: You must stop him. Go in and keep him talking. I'll be back as quickly 2.5 ::AND :=Nora: time before dinner. Oh, do sit down and play for me, Torvald dear. Correct me, 2.5 ::AND :=Nora: We'll drink champagne until dawn! And, Helen! Put out some macaroons! Lots 2.5 ::AND :=Nora: All right. Go and sit down -- and you too, Dr. Rank. I'll 2.5 ::AND :=Nora: All right. Go and sit down -- and you too, Dr. Rank. I'll be with you in 2.5 ::AND :=Nora: really, in a way -- sitting here and waiting for the miracle to happen. 2.5 ::AND :=Nora: Oh, you wouldn't understand. Go in and join them. I'll be with you in a mom 2.5 ::AND :=Nora: hours till midnight tomorrow. And then the tarantella will be finished. 2.5 ::AND :=Nora: will be finished. Twenty-four and seven? Thirty-one hours to live. 3.1 ::AND :=Krogstad: Oh? And must our conversation take place in this 3.1 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: We're quite alone. The maid's asleep, and the Helmers are at the dance upstair 3.1 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: Well, Krogstad. You and I must have a talk together. 3.1 ::AND :=Krogstad: So that was it. And you did this for money! 3.1 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: had a helpless mother to take care of, and two little brothers. We couldn't wait 3.1 ::AND :=Krogstad: It was near. But then you came, and stood between it and me. 3.1 ::AND :=Krogstad: then you came, and stood between it and me. 3.1 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: to look at things practically. Life and poverty have taught me that. 3.1 ::AND :=Krogstad: And life has taught me to distrust fine 3.1 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: joy. But now I'm alone in the world, and I feel so dreadfully lost and empty. 3.1 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: world, and I feel so dreadfully lost and empty. There's no joy in working just 3.1 ::AND :=Krogstad: all that. You're just being hysterical and romantic. You want to find an excuse 3.1 ::AND :=Krogstad: And you know what people think of me her 3.1 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: I need someone to be a mother to; and your children need a mother. And you 3.1 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: to; and your children need a mother. And you and I need each other. I believe 3.1 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: your children need a mother. And you and I need each other. I believe in you, 3.1 ::AND :=Krogstad: And yet you'd still have the courage to -- 3.1 ::AND :=Krogstad: it was only to do with my dismissal, and that I don't want him to read it -- 3.1 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: But a day has passed since then, and in that time I've seen incredible things 3.1 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: must be an end of all these shiftings and evasions. 3.1 ::AND :=Krogstad: to risk it. But one thing I can do -- and at once -- 3.2 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: I'm afraid. You'd already gone up. And I felt I really couldn't go back home 3.2 ::AND :=Helmer: -- makes a roaring success -- and very well deserved -- though possibly 3.2 ::AND :=Helmer: I going to let her stay on after that and spoil the impression? No, thank you. 3.2 ::AND :=Helmer: ballroom, a curtsey to the company, and, as they say in novels, the beautiful 3.2 ::AND :=Helmer: the beautiful apparition disappeared! And exit should always be dramatic, Mrs. 3.2 ::AND :=Helmer: in your left hand, like this, and then you take the needle in your right 3.2 ::AND :=Helmer: you take the needle in your right hand and go in and out in a slow, easy movement 3.2 ::AND :=Helmer: needle in your right hand and go in and out in a slow, easy movement -- like 3.2 ::AND :=Helmer: up -- great clumsy needles going up and down -- makes you look like a damned 3.2 ::AND :=Mrs. Linde: Well, good night, Nora. And stop being stubborn. Remember! 3.2 ::AND :=Helmer: about you? Yes, you look very sleepy and tired. 3.2 ::AND :=Helmer: nice to get back to one's home again, and be all alone with you. Upon my word, 3.2 ::AND :=Helmer: the tarantella in your blood, I see. And that makes you even more desirable. Listen! 3.2 ::AND :=Helmer: to you, why I keep so aloof from you, and just throw you an occasional glance? 3.2 ::AND :=Helmer: my clandestine little sweetheart, and that nobody knows there's anything at 3.2 ::AND :=Helmer: And then when we're about to go, and I wrap 3.2 ::AND :=Helmer: And then when we're about to go, and I wrap the shawl round your lovely young 3.2 ::AND :=Helmer: with you, as you stand there young and trembling and beautiful. All evening 3.2 ::AND :=Helmer: as you stand there young and trembling and beautiful. All evening I've had no eyes 3.2 ::AND :=Helmer: any longer! That was why I seized you and dragged you down here with me -- 3.2 ::AND :=Rank: of this world? As much as one can, and for as long as one can. The wine was 3.2 ::AND :=Nora: And may I congratulate you on the findin 3.2 ::AND :=Rank: finding -- both for the doctor and the patient. Certainty. 3.2 ::AND :=Rank: Thank you. And now -- goodbye. 3.2 ::AND :=Rank: well -- since you ask. Sleep well. And thank you for the light. 3.3 ::AND :=Nora: wants to shut himself up in his house and die. 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: him for much longer. But so soon -- ! And now he's going to slink away and hide 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: soon -- ! And now he's going to slink away and hide like a wounded beast. 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: realize that he's gone. His suffering and loneliness seemed to provide a kind of 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: it's best this way. For him, anyway. And perhaps for us too, Nora. Now we have 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: you, so that I could offer my life and my blood, everything, for your sake. 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: has come between us; thoughts of death and dissolution. We must try and forget them. 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: of death and dissolution. We must try and forget them. Until them -- you go to 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: songbird. Sleep well, Nora. I'll go and read my letters. 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: theatrical. You're going to stay here and explain yourself. Do you understand what 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: whole years -- she who was my joy and my pride -- a hypocrite, a liar -- worse, 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: it. All your father's recklessness and instability -- be quiet! -- I repeat, 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: repeat, all your father's recklessness and instability he has handed on to you. 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: to his faults! I did it for your sake. And now you reward me like this. 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: him. I am condemned to humiliation and ruin simply for the weakness of a wo 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: can still make all the facts public; and if he does, I may quite easily be suspected 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: -- that it was I who encouraged you! And for all this I have to thank you, you 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: to the woman I once loved so dearly -- and whom I still -- ! Well, all that must 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: we must merely strive to save what shreds and tatters -- What can that be? At 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: too, of course. We're both saved, you and I. Look! He's returning your I.O.U. He 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: sordid business. We'll just be happy and go on telling ourselves over and over 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: happy and go on telling ourselves over and over again: "It's over! It's over!" Listen 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: Yes, do that. Try to calm yourself and get your balance again, my frightened 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: broad wings to shield you. How lovely and peaceful this little home of ours is, 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: is something indescribably wonderful and satisfying for a husband in knowing that 3.3 ::AND :=Helmer: heart to me. I shall be both your will and your conscience. What's this? Not in 3.4 ::AND :=Nora: that late. Sit down here, Torvald. You and I have a lot to talk about. 3.4 ::AND :=Nora: just it. You don't understand me. And I've never understood you -- until this 3.4 ::AND :=Nora: Just listen to what I have to say. You and I have got to face facts, Torvald. 3.4 ::AND :=Nora: is the first time that we two, you and I, man and wife, have ever had a serious 3.4 ::AND :=Nora: first time that we two, you and I, man and wife, have ever had a serious talk t 3.4 ::AND :=Nora: done to me, Torvald. First by Papa, and then by you. 3.4 ::AND :=Nora: that I never had any opinions but his. And if I did have any of my own, I kept them 3.4 ::AND :=Nora: them. He called me his little doll, and he played with me just the way I played 3.4 ::AND :=Nora: it was a little of both -- first one and then the other. Now I look back on it, 3.4 ::AND :=Nora: to mouth. I performed tricks for you, and you gave me food and drink. But that 3.4 ::AND :=Nora: tricks for you, and you gave me food and drink. But that was how you wanted it. 3.4 ::AND :=Nora: But that was how you wanted it. You and Papa have done me a great wrong. It's 3.4 ::AND :=Helmer: Nora, how can you be so unreasonable and ungrateful? Haven't you been happy h 3.4 ::AND :=Nora: as I used to be Papa's doll-child. And the children have been my dolls. I used 3.4 ::AND :=Nora: to think it was fun when you came in and played with me, just as they think it's 3.4 ::AND :=Nora: as they think it's fun when I go in and play games with them. That's all our 3.4 ::AND :=Helmer: in what you say, though you exaggerate and romanticize. But from now on it'll be 3.4 ::AND :=Helmer: Both yours and the children's, my dearest Nora. 3.4 ::AND :=Nora: And what about me? Am I fit to educate the 3.4 ::AND :=Nora: must do first. I must educate myself. And you can't help me with that. It's something 3.4 ::AND :=Nora: am to find out the truth about myself and about life. So I can't go on living here 3.5 ::AND :=Helmer: you? Your duties towards your husband, and your children. 3.5 ::AND :=Helmer: First and foremost you are a wife and a mother 3.5 ::AND :=Helmer: First and foremost you are a wife and a mother. 3.5 ::AND :=Nora: any longer. I believe that I am first and foremost a human being, like you -- or 3.5 ::AND :=Nora: most people think as you do, Torvald, and I know there's something of the sort 3.5 ::AND :=Nora: prepared to accept what people say and what's written in books. I must think 3.5 ::AND :=Nora: I must think things our for myself, and try to find my own answer. 3.5 ::AND :=Nora: He explained that religion meant this and that. When I get away from all this and 3.5 ::AND :=Nora: that. When I get away from all this and can think things out on my own, that's 3.5 ::AND :=Nora: I've never felt so sane and sure in my life. 3.5 ::AND :=Helmer: that it is right to leave your husband and your children? 3.5 ::AND :=Helmer: And you feel quite sure about this too? 3.5 ::AND :=Nora: this dreadful thing happened to me, and then I knew: "Now the miracle will take 3.5 ::AND :=Nora: him: "Publish the facts to the world." And when he had done this -- 3.5 ::AND :=Helmer: I'd exposed my wife's name to shame and scandal -- 3.5 ::AND :=Nora: certain that you would step forward and take all the blame on yourself, and say: 3.5 ::AND :=Nora: and take all the blame on yourself, and say: "I am the one who is guilty!" 3.5 ::AND :=Nora: That was the miracle I was hoping for, and dreading. And it was to prevent it happening 3.5 ::AND :=Nora: I was hoping for, and dreading. And it was to prevent it happening that I 3.5 ::AND :=Helmer: Nora, I would gladly work for you night and day, and endure sorrow and hardship for 3.5 ::AND :=Helmer: gladly work for you night and day, and endure sorrow and hardship for your sake. 3.5 ::AND :=Helmer: you night and day, and endure sorrow and hardship for your sake. But no man can 3.5 ::AND :=Helmer: Oh, you think and talk like a stupid child. 3.5 ::AND :=Nora: Once you'd got over your fright -- and you weren't frightened of what might 3.5 ::AND :=Nora: from the world because she was so weak and fragile. Torvald, in that moment I realized 3.5 ::AND :=Nora: living here with a complete stranger, and have borne him three children -- ! Oh, 3.5 ::AND :=Helmer: But we can't live as brother and sister, then -- ? 3.5 ::AND :=Helmer: But you are my wife, both as you are and as you will be. 3.5 ::AND :=Nora: of course. I shall often think of you and the children and this house. 3.5 ::AND :=Nora: often think of you and the children and this house. 3.5 ::AND :=Nora: You and I would have to change so much that -- 3.3 ::ANEW :=Helmer: as it were, brought her into the world anew; she is now not only his wife but also 1.3 ::ANGELS :=Nora: he gives me for them. The poor little angels! 1.2 ::ANGRY :=Nora: about myself. Oh, please don't be angry with me! Tell me, is it really true 1.2 ::ANGRY :=Nora: Oh, please don't be angry with me. 1.2 ::ANGRY :=Mrs. Linde: it's I who should ask you not to be angry. That's the worst thing about this 1.3 ::ANGRY :=Nora: the money. But then he got almost angry with me, Christine. He said I was frivolous, 2.1 ::ANNE :=Nora: silly, silly, silly! Go back to them, Anne- Marie. Now I must -- Tomorrow you'll 1.1 ::ANNE-MARIE :=Nora: and handkerchiefs for the maids. Old Anne-Marie ought to have had something better, 1.4 ::ANNE-MARIE :=Nora: Oh, let me hold her for a moment, Anne-Marie! My sweet little baby doll! Yes, 1.4 ::ANNE-MARIE :=Nora: No, don't -- I'll undress them myself, Anne-Marie. No, please let me; it's such 1.5 ::ANNE-MARIE :=Nora: With -- ? Go inside to Anne-Marie. What? No, the strange gentleman 1.6 ::ANNE-MARIE :=Nora: don't let them in! You stay with them, Anne-Marie. 2.1 ::ANNE-MARIE :=Nora: Yes, but, Anne-Marie, from now on I shan't be able 2.1 ::ANNE-MARIE :=Nora: Tell me, Anne-Marie -- I've so often wondered. How 2.1 ::ANNE-MARIE :=Nora: Dear old Anne-Marie, you were a good mother to me 2.1 ::ANNE-MARIE'LL :=Nora: can't bear to see sewing around. Anne-Marie'll help you. 1.3 ::ANNOUNCING :=Rank: twisted. But even he started off by announcing, as thought it were a matter of 3.3 ::ANNOUNCING :=Helmer: it? It looks just as though he was announcing his death. 2.2 ::ANNOYING :=Helmer: I can tell you, I find it damned annoying. If he stayed, he'd make my position 1.5 ::ANOTHER :=Krogstad: suggest any explanation? And there's another curious thing. The words "second 2.3 ::ANOTHER :=Rank: in every single family, in one way or another, the same merciless law of retribution 2.3 ::ANOTHER :=Nora: Oh -- that, yes -- but there's another -- I ordered it specially -- Torvald 2.5 ::ANOTHER :=Nora: Seven hours till midnight. Then another twenty-four hours till midnight tomorrow. 3.1 ::ANOTHER :=Mrs. Linde: The dance is over. We aren't safe here another moment. 3.2 ::ANOTHER :=Nora: Oh, please, Torvald, please! Just another hour! 3.2 ::ANOTHER :=Helmer: Not another minute, Nora, my sweet. You know 3.5 ::ANOTHER :=Nora: I have another duty which is equally sacred. 1.5 ::ANSWER :=Nora: But since you ask, you shall have an answer. Yes, Mrs. Linde is to be employed 3.3 ::ANSWER :=Helmer: Do you understand what you've done? Answer me! Do you understand? 3.5 ::ANSWER :=Nora: our for myself, and try to find my own answer. 3.5 ::ANSWER :=Helmer: left? Or --perhaps you haven't? Well, answer me. 3.5 ::ANSWER :=Nora: that isn't an easy question to answer. I simply don't know. I don't know 1.5 ::ANXIETY :=Nora: to shield her father from worry and anxiety when he's old and dying? Hasn't a 2.2 ::ANXIETY :=Helmer: My dear Nora, I forgive you this anxiety. Though it is a bit of an insult 1.6 ::ANXIOUS :=Nora: your taste more than anyone's. I'm so anxious to look really beautiful at the fancy 2.4 ::ANXIOUS :=Krogstad: he deserves. But since you're so anxious to keep this matter hushed up, I 1.1 ::ANY :=Helmer: that little bird that can never keep any money? 1.1 ::ANY :=Helmer: to get money, but as soon as you have any it just runs through your fingers, and 1.1 ::ANY :=Helmer: wish my darling little songbird to be any different from what she is. By the way, 1.1 ::ANY :=Helmer: indulging herself in town today, by any chance? 1.1 ::ANY :=Nora: true, isn't it -- I don't have to any longer? Oh, it's really all just like 1.1 ::ANY :=Helmer: I'm not at home to any visitors. Remember! 1.2 ::ANY :=Nora: if one isn't prepared to touch any case that isn't -- well -- quite nice. 1.2 ::ANY :=Nora: after him. I was expecting little Ivar any day. And then I had my poor Torvald to 1.2 ::ANY :=Mrs. Linde: My poor dear mother doesn't need me any more; she's passed away. And the boys 1.2 ::ANY :=Mrs. Linde: unspeakably empty. No one to live for any more. That's why I couldn't bear to stay 1.2 ::ANY :=Mrs. Linde: why I couldn't bear to stay out there any longer, cut off from the world. I thought 1.2 ::ANY :=Nora: You think I've never had any worries like the rest of you. 1.2 ::ANY :=Nora: Torvald should hear! He mustn't, at any price -- no one must know, Christine 1.3 ::ANY :=Nora: don't you understand? There wasn't any old gentleman; he was just something 1.3 ::ANY :=Nora: because now I don't have to worry any longer! Oh, Christine, isn't it wonderful? 1.3 ::ANY :=Nora: it wonderful? I don't have to worry any more! No more troubles! I can play all 1.3 ::ANY :=Nora: Krog -- that this man Krogstad had any connection with the bank. 1.5 ::ANY :=Nora: could you imagine that I would have any influence over my husband? 1.5 ::ANY :=Nora: I'm not afraid of you any longer. Once the New Year is in, I'll 1.5 ::ANY :=Krogstad: Tell me, Mrs. Helmer, do you by any chance remember the date of your father's 1.5 ::ANY :=Krogstad: problem, Mrs. Helmer? Can you suggest any explanation? And there's another curious 1.6 ::ANY :=Helmer: He forged someone else's name. Have you any idea what that means? 2.1 ::ANY :=Nurse: Poor little Miss Nora, you never had any mother but me. 2.1 ::ANY :=Nora: jealous if I as much as mentioned any of my old friends back home. So naturally, 2.1 ::ANY :=Nora: moment dreamed of -- anyway, he hadn't any money to lend then. He didn't come into 2.3 ::ANY :=Rank: I don't want him there. On any pretext. I shan't have him allowed in. 2.3 ::ANY :=Rank: Especially a poor spine that never got any pleasure out of them. 2.3 ::ANY :=Rank: Well, at any rate now you know that I am ready to 2.3 ::ANY :=Nora: for me now. Anyway, I don't need any help. It was only my imagination -- you'll 2.4 ::ANY :=Krogstad: too seriously. I'm not going to take any action for the present. 2.4 ::ANY :=Krogstad: Have you any means of raising the money during the 2.5 ::ANY :=Nora: happen to me -- so that I wasn't here any longer -- 2.5 ::ANY :=Helmer: I'm only going to see if any letters have come. 2.5 ::ANY :=Nora: me -- today or tomorrow. Don't open any letters -- don't even open the letter-box 3.1 ::ANY :=Krogstad: this? You want to save your friend at any price? Tell me the truth. Is that the 3.2 ::ANY :=Helmer: my blood grew hot, I couldn't stand it any longer! That was why I seized you and 3.2 ::ANY :=Rank: over your head, no one can see you any more. 3.3 ::ANY :=Helmer: This thing must be hushed up at any price. As regards our relationship -- 3.3 ::ANY :=Helmer: means. But do you think I love you any the less because you don't know how to 3.4 ::ANY :=Nora: about everything, so that I never had any opinions but his. And if I did have any 3.4 ::ANY :=Nora: opinions but his. And if I did have any of my own, I kept them quiet, because 3.4 ::ANY :=Nora: So I can't go on living here with you any longer. 3.5 ::ANY :=Nora: It's no use trying to forbid me any more. I shall take with me nothing but 3.5 ::ANY :=Nora: I don't believe that any longer. I believe that I am first and 3.5 ::ANY :=Helmer: That you don't love me any longer. 3.5 ::ANY :=Nora: But I can't help it. I don't love you any longer. 3.5 ::ANY :=Nora: That's why I can't go on living here any longer. 3.5 ::ANY :=Nora: according to the law he is freed of any obligations towards her. In any case, 3.5 ::ANY :=Nora: of any obligations towards her. In any case, I release you from any such obligations. 3.5 ::ANY :=Nora: her. In any case, I release you from any such obligations. You mustn't feel bound 3.5 ::ANY :=Nora: You mustn't feel bound to me in any way, however small, just as I shall not 3.5 ::ANY :=Helmer: then! Nora, will you never think of me any more? 3.5 ::ANY :=Nora: Torvald, I don't believe in miracles any longer. 1.2 ::ANYONE :=Mrs. Linde: I don't patronise anyone, Nora. But you're right -- I am both 1.5 ::ANYONE :=Nora: I didn't know anyone else. 1.6 ::ANYONE :=Nora: Yes, yes, I know. But don't talk to anyone about the strange gentleman. You hear? 1.6 ::ANYONE :=Helmer: Yes. Has anyone been here? 2.3 ::ANYONE :=Nora: Oh, yes, more than anyone. You're my best and truest friend. 2.3 ::ANYONE :=Rank: That I have loved you as deeply as anyone else has? Was that horrid of me? 2.4 ::ANYONE :=Nora: but quietly. Helen, you mustn't tell anyone about this. It's a surprise for my 2.5 ::ANYONE :=Nora: If anyone should try to take the blame, and 3.2 ::ANYONE :=Helmer: All evening I've had no eyes for anyone but you. When I saw you dance the 3.4 ::ANYONE :=Helmer: But we two have loved you more than anyone in the world! 1.2 ::ANYONE'S :=Nora: Rank, but he doesn't come because anyone's ill. He's our best friend, and he 1.6 ::ANYONE'S :=Nora: You know I trust your taste more than anyone's. I'm so anxious to look really beautiful 1.1 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: If anything as frightful as that happened, it 1.1 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: Me? Oh, pooh, I don't want anything. 1.2 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: gone through! And he didn't leave you anything? 1.2 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: money and not to have to worry about anything. Don't you think? 1.2 ::ANYTHING :=Mrs. Linde: little shop, and a little school, and anything else I could turn my hand to. These 1.2 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: think I'm incapable of getting down to anything serious -- 1.3 ::ANYTHING :=Mrs. Linde: Nora dear, you haven't done anything foolish? 1.3 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: for him to know that he owed anything to me. It'd completely wreck our 1.3 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: go short of clothes -- I couldn't take anything out of what he gives me for them. 1.3 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: cheapest and plainest. Thank heaven anything suits me, so that Torvald's never 1.5 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: What? No, the strange gentleman won't do anything to hurt Mummy. When he's gone 1.5 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: What do you want? I can't give you anything today -- 1.6 ::ANYTHING :=Maid: Will you be wanting anything else? 1.6 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: I can't think of anything to wear. It all seems so stupid 2.1 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: Silly, silly. Of course he won't do anything. It couldn't happen. It isn't 2.1 ::ANYTHING :=Nurse: Well, children get used to anything in time. 2.2 ::ANYTHING :=Helmer: and close the door. Then I won't hear anything, and you can make all the noise 2.3 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: stop him. No, never that. I'd rather anything. There must be some escape -- ! 2.3 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: be some escape -- ! Some way out -- ! Dr. Rank -- ! Anything but that! Anything, 2.3 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: -- ! Some way out -- ! Dr. Rank -- ! Anything but that! Anything, I don't care 2.3 ::ANYTHING :=Rank: chap, and I know how he hates anything ugly. I don't want him to visit 2.3 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: I shan't show you anything else. You're being naughty. 2.3 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: You can't do anything for me now. Anyway, I don't need 2.3 ::ANYTHING :=Rank: Anything wrong? 2.4 ::ANYTHING :=Krogstad: So in case you were thinking of doing anything desperate -- 2.4 ::ANYTHING :=Krogstad: Or anything more desperate -- 2.4 ::ANYTHING :=Krogstad: hands? Well, I've warned you. Don't do anything silly. When Helmer's read my letter, 2.5 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: Or if anything else should happen to me -- so that 2.5 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: and I'm telling you, no one else knows anything about this. I did it entirely on 2.5 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: Christine. It mustn't happen, not for anything in the world. 2.5 ::ANYTHING :=Mrs. Linde: Once upon a time he'd have done anything for my sake. 2.5 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: You mustn't think about anything but me -- today or tomorrow. Don't 2.5 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: you mustn't read it now. I don't want anything ugly to come between us till it's 2.5 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: needn't have bothered. You can't stop anything now. Anyway, it's wonderful really, 3.1 ::ANYTHING :=Krogstad: Have we two anything further to discuss? 3.1 ::ANYTHING :=Krogstad: Was there anything to understand? It's the old story, 3.2 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: I shan't tell him anything. 3.2 ::ANYTHING :=Helmer: and that nobody knows there's anything at all between us. 3.2 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: yes, yes -- I know you never think of anything but me. 3.2 ::ANYTHING :=Rank: Well, you never get anything in this life without paying for 3.3 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: Has he written anything on them? 3.3 ::ANYTHING :=Helmer: Do you know something? Has he told you anything? 3.3 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: It is true. I've loved you more than anything else in the world. 3.3 ::ANYTHING :=Helmer: demand what he pleases, order me to do anything -- I dare not disobey him. I am 3.3 ::ANYTHING :=Helmer: creature. Never be frightened of anything again, Nora. Just open your heart 3.4 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: Doesn't anything strike you about the way we're sitting 3.4 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: to try to get to the bottom of anything. 3.4 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: to me. But our home has never been anything but a playroom. I've been your doll-wife, 3.5 ::ANYTHING :=Nora: nothing but what is mine. I don't want anything from you, now or ever. 3.5 ::ANYTHING :=Helmer: Nora -- can I never be anything but a stranger to you? 1.1 ::ANYWAY :=Helmer: he knows he'll be dining with us. Anyway, I'll ask him when he comes this morning. 1.2 ::ANYWAY :=Mrs. Linde: to have enough to cover one's needs, anyway. 2.1 ::ANYWAY :=Nora: I've never for a moment dreamed of -- anyway, he hadn't any money to lend then. 2.3 ::ANYWAY :=Nora: You can't do anything for me now. Anyway, I don't need any help. It was only 2.4 ::ANYWAY :=Krogstad: Well, it wouldn't have helped anyway. However much money you offered me 2.4 ::ANYWAY :=Krogstad: It'd be a stupid thing to do anyway. Once the first little domestic explosion 2.4 ::ANYWAY :=Krogstad: don't do such things Mrs. Helmer. And anyway, what'd be the use? I've got him in 2.5 ::ANYWAY :=Nora: bothered. You can't stop anything now. Anyway, it's wonderful really, in a way -- 3.3 ::ANYWAY :=Helmer: perhaps it's best this way. For him, anyway. And perhaps for us too, Nora. Now 3.5 ::ANYWAY :=Nora: foremost a human being, like you -- or anyway, that I must try to become one. I 3.5 ::ANYWAY :=Nora: Pastor Hansen said was right -- or anyway, whether it is right for me. 1.6 ::ANYWHERE :=Nora: Yes, Torvald. I can't get anywhere without your help. 2.5 ::ANYWHERE :=Nora: I must, I know. But I can't get anywhere without your help. I've completely 1.1 ::APART :=Nora: nothing much, but she'll pull them apart in a few day. And some bits of material 3.2 ::APPARITION :=Helmer: as they say in novels, the beautiful apparition disappeared! And exit should always 3.5 ::APPEAL :=Helmer: cannot guide you, let me at least appeal to your conscience. I presume you 3.2 ::APPEAR :=Rank: Your wife need only appear as her normal, everyday self -- 3.3 ::APPEAR :=Helmer: As regards our relationship -- we must appear to be living together just as before. 3.3 ::APPEAR :=Helmer: living together just as before. Only appear, of course. You will therefore continue 1.4 ::APPLES :=Nora: look! What red cheeks you've got! Like apples and roses! Have you had fun? That's 1.5 ::APPRECIATE :=Krogstad: Mrs. Helmer, you evidently don't appreciate exactly what you have done. But 1.3 ::APPROVED :=Rank: Is that an approved remedy for being run down? 1.1 ::APRIL :=Helmer: But my new salary doesnUt start till April. 1.1 ::ARE :=Helmer: Nora! What a little spendthrift you are! Suppose I were to borrow fifty pounds 1.1 ::ARE :=Nora: bought. And so cheaply! Look, here are new clothes for Ivar -- and a sword. 1.1 ::ARE :=Helmer: Well, I suppose I must take you as you are. It's in your blood. Yes, yes, yes, these 1.1 ::ARE :=Helmer: blood. Yes, yes, yes, these things are hereditary, Nora. 1.1 ::ARE :=Nora: Oh, are you going to bring that up again? How 1.1 ::ARE :=Helmer: But it's good that those hard times are past. 1.2 ::ARE :=Nora: take off you coat. You're not cold, are you? There! Now let's sit down here by 1.2 ::ARE :=Nora: him. Oh, you can imagine how happy we are! He's joining the bank in the New Year, 1.2 ::ARE :=Nora: since we went away. And the children are fit and healthy and so am I. Oh God, 1.3 ::ARE :=Nora: know, in the world of business there are things called quarterly instalments and 1.3 ::ARE :=Rank: all my patients; and with people who are morally sick, too. There's a moral cripple 1.3 ::ARE :=Rank: Why are you laughing? Do you really know what 1.3 ::ARE :=Nora: Yes, well, these are some Christine gave me. 1.3 ::ARE :=Rank: Are you mad? 1.4 ::ARE :=Helmer: Well, that shouldn't be impossible. You are a widow, I take it, Mrs. Linde? 1.4 ::ARE :=Nora: Are you going too, Christine? 1.4 ::ARE :=Nora: Here they are! Here they are! 1.4 ::ARE :=Nora: Here they are! Here they are! 1.4 ::ARE :=Nora: together? I say! What a clever boy you are, Ivar! Oh, let me hold her for a moment, 1.5 ::ARE :=Krogstad: I want to give up all that. My sons are growing up; for their sake, I must try 1.5 ::ARE :=Nora: show my husband the kind of man you are, and then you'll never keep your job 1.5 ::ARE :=Krogstad: words "second of October" and the year are written in a hand which is not your father's, 1.5 ::ARE :=Nora: somewhere that says that such things are allowed. You ought to know about that, 1.6 ::ARE :=Nora: Oh -- are you back already? 1.6 ::ARE :=Nora: Are you very busy, Torvald? 1.6 ::ARE :=Nora: What are those papers? 1.6 ::ARE :=Helmer: mask even in the presence of those who are dearest to him, even his own wife and 1.6 ::ARE :=Helmer: at the bar. Nearly all young criminals are the children of mothers who are constitutional 1.6 ::ARE :=Helmer: are the children of mothers who are constitutional liars. 1.6 ::ARE :=Nurse: The children are asking if they can come in to Mummy. 2.1 ::ARE :=Nora: Well, that wouldn't be the worst. How are the children? 2.1 ::ARE :=Nora: Are they still asking to see me? 2.1 ::ARE :=Mrs. Linde: I say, are you going to give a performance? 2.1 ::ARE :=Mrs. Linde: away. Needle and thread? Ah, here we are. 2.1 ::ARE :=Nora: What on earth are you talking about? 2.1 ::ARE :=Nora: Are you out of your mind? How could you imagine 2.2 ::ARE :=Nora: Are you going to work now? 2.2 ::ARE :=Helmer: to conceal it when other people are present. On the contrary, he thinks it 2.2 ::ARE :=Nora: What are you going to do? 2.2 ::ARE :=Helmer: and wife. And that is as it should be. Are you happy now? There, there, there; don't 2.3 ::ARE :=Nora: Good heavens, how unreasonable you are! Be nice now, Dr. Rank. Tomorrow you'll 2.3 ::ARE :=Nora: Why are you looking so critical? Don't you think 2.3 ::ARE :=Rank: What other wonders are to be revealed to me? 2.3 ::ARE :=Nora: Honestly. Well, upon my word you are a fine gentleman, Dr. Rank. Aren't you 2.3 ::ARE :=Nora: Well, you see, there are some people whom one loves, and others 2.4 ::ARE :=Nora: What are you going to do with it? 2.4 ::ARE :=Krogstad: Are you thinking of -- ? 2.5 ::ARE :=Helmer: not coming in; you've closed the door. Are you trying on your costume? 2.5 ::ARE :=Helmer: Are you really so frightened, Nora dear? 3.1 ::ARE :=Mrs. Linde: The maid's asleep, and the Helmers are at the dance upstairs. 3.1 ::ARE :=Krogstad: Well, well! So the Helmers are dancing this evening? Are they indee 3.1 ::ARE :=Krogstad: the Helmers are dancing this evening? Are they indeed? 3.1 ::ARE :=Krogstad: What are you saying? 3.1 ::ARE :=Krogstad: Are you sure? 3.1 ::ARE :=Mrs. Linde: Oh, why don't they come? Ah, here they are. I must get my coat on. 3.2 ::ARE :=Helmer: Listen! Now the other guests are beginning to go. Nora -- soon the whole 3.2 ::ARE :=Helmer: -- then I pretend to myself that you are my young bride, that we've just come 3.2 ::ARE :=Helmer: Scientific experiment! Those are big words for my little Nora to use! 3.2 ::ARE :=Rank: Yes, if the disguises are sufficiently amusing. 3.2 ::ARE :=Helmer: You little gadabout! Are you thinking about the next one alre 3.2 ::ARE :=Helmer: Quite right! Well said! But what are you going to be? Have you decided th 3.3 ::ARE :=Nora: Are you going to work tonight? 3.3 ::ARE :=Helmer: what does it matter what he writes? We are saved, Nora! No one can harm you now. 3.3 ::ARE :=Helmer: don't seem to realize. It's over! Why are you looking so pale? Ah, my poor little 3.3 ::ARE :=Helmer: No, don't go -- What are you doing there? 3.3 ::ARE :=Helmer: this little home of ours is, Nora. You are safe here; I shall watch over you like 3.5 ::ARE :=Helmer: First and foremost you are a wife and a mother. 3.5 ::ARE :=Helmer: What are you saying? 3.5 ::ARE :=Nora: I've learned now that certain laws are different from what I'd imagined them 3.5 ::ARE :=Helmer: But you are my wife, both as you are and as you will 3.5 ::ARE :=Helmer: But you are my wife, both as you are and as you will be. 1.3 ::AREN'T :=Nora: You're dying of curiosity now, aren't you, Christine? 1.4 ::AREN'T :=Nora: my sweet darlings -- ! Look at them, Christine! Aren't they beautiful? 1.5 ::AREN'T :=Nora: that, you're meant to be a lawyer, aren't you? You can't be a very good lawyer, 2.2 ::AREN'T :=Helmer: You're thinking of your father, aren't you? 2.3 ::AREN'T :=Rank: The facts aren't exactly nice. But the worst is that 2.3 ::AREN'T :=Nora: Flesh-coloured. Aren't they beautiful? It's very dark in 2.3 ::AREN'T :=Nora: you are a fine gentleman, Dr. Rank. Aren't you ashamed of yourself, now that 3.1 ::AREN'T :=Mrs. Linde: Hurry! Go, go! The dance is over. We aren't safe here another moment. 3.2 ::AREN'T :=Helmer: movement -- like this. I am right, aren't I? 3.2 ::AREN'T :=Nora: Aren't you very tired, Torvald? 3.2 ::AREN'T :=Nora: Aren't you sleepy? 3.2 ::AREN'T :=Helmer: with me. Don't want, don't want -- ? Aren't I your husband -- ? 3.2 ::AREN'T :=Rank: Absolute certainty. So aren't I entitled to have a merry evening 3.2 ::ARM :=Helmer: little Capricienne, what? -- under my arm -- a swift round of the ballroom, a curtsey 1.2 ::ARMCHAIR :=Nora: and be comfortable. No, you take the armchair. I'll sit here in the rocking-chair. 3.2 ::ARMS :=Helmer: business -- can't help it. Look -- arms all huddled up -- great clumsy needles 1.3 ::AROUND :=Rank: being that spends its time fussing around trying to smell out moral corruption? 2.1 ::AROUND :=Nora: Torvald can't bear to see sewing around. Anne-Marie'll help you. 2.1 ::ARRANGE :=Nora: It's much easier for a man to arrange these things than a woman -- 1.5 ::ARRANGED :=Nora: is to be employed by the bank. And I arranged it, Mr. Krogstad. Now you know. 3.4 ::ARRANGED :=Nora: from Papa's hands into yours. You arranged everything the way you wanted it, 1.2 ::ARRIVED :=Mrs. Linde: I arrived by the steamer this morning. 1.2 ::ARRIVED :=Mrs. Linde: the maid said that the gentleman who arrived with me was the doctor. 1.4 ::ARRIVED :=Nora: you -- ? This is Christine. She's just arrived in town. 1.5 ::ARRIVED :=Krogstad: Recently arrived in town? 1.1 ::AS :=Nora: If anything as frightful as that happened, it wouldn't 1.1 ::AS :=Nora: If anything as frightful as that happened, it wouldn't make much difference 1.1 ::AS :=Nora: Very well, Torvald. As you say. 1.1 ::AS :=Nora: You could give me money, Torvald. Only as much as you feel you can afford; then 1.1 ::AS :=Nora: give me money, Torvald. Only as much as you feel you can afford; then later I'll 1.1 ::AS :=Nora: squanderbird; I know. But let's do as I say, Torvald; then I'll have time to 1.1 ::AS :=Helmer: for some way to get money, but as soon as you have any it just runs through 1.1 ::AS :=Helmer: for some way to get money, but as soon as you have any it just runs through your 1.1 ::AS :=Helmer: gone. Well, I suppose I must take you as you are. It's in your blood. Yes, yes, 1.1 ::AS :=Nora: what I thought we might do, Torvald. As soon as Christmas is over -- Oh, there's 1.1 ::AS :=Nora: thought we might do, Torvald. As soon as Christmas is over -- Oh, there's the doorbell. 1.2 ::AS :=Nora: says that. But "Nora, Nora" isn't as silly as you think. Oh, we've been in 1.2 ::AS :=Nora: that. But "Nora, Nora" isn't as silly as you think. Oh, we've been in no position 1.2 ::AS :=Nora: Fit as a fiddle! 1.2 ::AS :=Mrs. Linde: was happy not so much on your account, as on my own. 1.3 ::AS :=Nora: got it from an admirer. When a girl's as pretty as I am -- 1.3 ::AS :=Nora: an admirer. When a girl's as pretty as I am -- 1.3 ::AS :=Nora: frivolous, and that it was his duty as a husband not to pander to my moods and 1.3 ::AS :=Nora: to tell. But since he was so ill -- ! And as things turned out, it didn't become 1.3 ::AS :=Nora: when Torvald no longer loves me as he does now; when it no longer amuses 1.3 ::AS :=Nora: a little here and save a little there as best I can. I haven't been able to save 1.3 ::AS :=Nora: was just something I used to dream up as I sat here evening after evening wondering 1.3 ::AS :=Nora: The old bore can stay imaginary as far as I'm concerned, because now I don't 1.3 ::AS :=Nora: The old bore can stay imaginary as far as I'm concerned, because now I don't have 1.3 ::AS :=Maid: master. But I didn't know -- seeing as the doctor's with him -- 1.3 ::AS :=Rank: I believe I passed you on the stairs as I came up. 1.3 ::AS :=Rank: Yes, people do seem to regard it as a necessity. 1.3 ::AS :=Rank: still want to go on being tortured for as long as possible. It's the same with all 1.3 ::AS :=Rank: to go on being tortured for as long as possible. It's the same with all my patients; 1.3 ::AS :=Rank: But even he started off by announcing, as thought it were a matter of enormous importance, 1.4 ::AS :=Nora: was in her local paper -- she came her as quickly as she could and -- Torvald, you 1.4 ::AS :=Nora: local paper -- she came her as quickly as she could and -- Torvald, you will, won't 1.5 ::AS :=Krogstad: Might I be so bold as to ask: was not that lady a Mrs. Lind 1.5 ::AS :=Krogstad: Will you be so good as to see that I keep my humble position 1.5 ::AS :=Krogstad: fight for my little job at the bank as I would fight for my life. 1.5 ::AS :=Krogstad: something else -- well, you might as well know. It's like this, you see. You 1.5 ::AS :=Krogstad: this, you see. You know of course, as everyone else does, that some years ago 1.5 ::AS :=Krogstad: I added a few lines naming your father as security for the debt. This paragraph 1.5 ::AS :=Nora: well. Haven't I repaid the instalments as agreed? 1.5 ::AS :=Krogstad: something about that? Good. Do as you please. But I tell you this. If I 1.6 ::AS :=Nora: you help me to decide what I shall go as, and what kind of costume I ought to 1.6 ::AS :=Helmer: usually happens. I'm not so heartless as to condemn a man for an isolated acti 1.6 ::AS :=Helmer: for me to work in the same building as him. I literally feel physically ill in 2.1 ::AS :=Nurse: why, there'll be no one at the ball as beautiful as my Miss Nora. 2.1 ::AS :=Nurse: be no one at the ball as beautiful as my Miss Nora. 2.1 ::AS :=Nora: Stenborg's, and Torvald wants me to go as a Neapolitan fisher-girl and dance the 2.1 ::AS :=Nora: Oh, I didn't think it was as nice as usual. You ought to have come 2.1 ::AS :=Nora: Oh, I didn't think it was as nice as usual. You ought to have come to town 2.1 ::AS :=Mrs. Linde: Is Dr. Rank always in such low spirits as he was yesterday? 2.1 ::AS :=Nora: who kept mistresses and so on. As a result Dr. Rank has been sickly ever 2.1 ::AS :=Nora: married, he got quite jealous if I as much as mentioned any of my old friends 2.1 ::AS :=Nora: he got quite jealous if I as much as mentioned any of my old friends back home. 2.2 ::AS :=Nora: Yes, Torvald, yes, you must do as I ask! You must let Krogstad keep his 2.2 ::AS :=Helmer: Oh, nothing, nothing. As long as my little Miss Obstinate gets 2.2 ::AS :=Helmer: Oh, nothing, nothing. As long as my little Miss Obstinate gets her way 2.2 ::AS :=Helmer: comes to regret later in life. I might as well confess the truth. We -- well, we're 2.2 ::AS :=Helmer: to the love you bear me. Which is as it should be, my own dearest Nora. Let 2.2 ::AS :=Helmer: Very well. We shall share it, Nora -- as man and wife. And that is as it should 2.2 ::AS :=Helmer: Nora -- as man and wife. And that is as it should be. Are you happy now? There, 2.3 ::AS :=Rank: I shall avail myself of that privilege as long as I can. 2.3 ::AS :=Rank: avail myself of that privilege as long as I can. 2.3 ::AS :=Nora: What do you mean by that? As long as you can? 2.3 ::AS :=Nora: What do you mean by that? As long as you can? 2.3 ::AS :=Rank: pretext. I shan't have him allowed in. As soon as I know the worst, I'll send you 2.3 ::AS :=Rank: I shan't have him allowed in. As soon as I know the worst, I'll send you my visiting 2.3 ::AS :=Rank: must pay for the fun my father had as a gay young lieutenant. 2.3 ::AS :=Rank: that. And now you also know that you can trust me as you can trust nobody els 2.3 ::AS :=Rank: That I have loved you as deeply as anyone else has? Was that horrid 2.3 ::AS :=Rank: That I have loved you as deeply as anyone else has? Was that horrid of m 2.3 ::AS :=Nora: will naturally continue to visit us as before. You know quite well how Torvald 2.3 ::AS :=Rank: you know. I'd often felt you'd just as soon be with me as with Helmer. 2.3 ::AS :=Rank: felt you'd just as soon be with me as with Helmer. 2.3 ::AS :=Nora: -- I feel the same about Torvald as I did about Papa. 2.4 ::AS :=Krogstad: Such as running away -- 2.4 ::AS :=Krogstad: As delicately as possible. 2.4 ::AS :=Krogstad: As delicately as possible. 2.5 ::AS :=Mrs. Linde: What's wrong with you? You look as though you'd seen a ghost! 2.5 ::AS :=Mrs. Linde: in and keep him talking. I'll be back as quickly as I can. 2.5 ::AS :=Mrs. Linde: him talking. I'll be back as quickly as I can. 2.5 ::AS :=Helmer: But, Nora darling, you're dancing as if your life depended on it. 3.1 ::AS :=Krogstad: When I lost you, it was just as though all solid ground had been swept 3.1 ::AS :=Mrs. Linde: IUm in the same position as you. No one to care about, no one to care 3.1 ::AS :=Mrs. Linde: worth living. I've always worked, for as long as I can remember; it's been the 3.1 ::AS :=Mrs. Linde: I've always worked, for as long as I can remember; it's been the greatest 3.1 ::AS :=Krogstad: I shall make the world believe in me as you do! Oh -- but I'd forgotten -- 3.1 ::AS :=Mrs. Linde: You hear that dance? As soon as it's finished, they'll be coming 3.1 ::AS :=Mrs. Linde: You hear that dance? As soon as it's finished, they'll be coming down 3.2 ::AS :=Helmer: a curtsey to the company, and, as they say in novels, the beautiful apparition 3.2 ::AS :=Helmer: with you -- quite along with you, as you stand there young and trembling and 3.2 ::AS :=Rank: one make the most of this world? As much as one can, and for as long as one 3.2 ::AS :=Rank: make the most of this world? As much as one can, and for as long as one can. The 3.2 ::AS :=Rank: world? As much as one can, and for as long as one can. The wine was excellent 3.2 ::AS :=Rank: As much as one can, and for as long as one can. The wine was excellent -- 3.2 ::AS :=Rank: We two? Yes, I'll tell you. You must go as the Spirit of Happiness -- 3.2 ::AS :=Rank: Your wife need only appear as her normal, everyday self -- 3.3 ::AS :=Helmer: on top. He must have dropped them in as he left. 3.3 ::AS :=Helmer: gruesome, isn't it? It looks just as though he was announcing his death. 3.3 ::AS :=Helmer: other. Oh, my beloved wife -- I feel as though I could never hold you close enough. 3.3 ::AS :=Helmer: me it you were "gone from this world," as you put it? It wouldn't assist me in the 3.3 ::AS :=Helmer: thing must be hushed up at any price. As regards our relationship -- we must appear 3.3 ::AS :=Helmer: must appear to be living together just as before. Only appear, of course. You will 3.3 ::AS :=Helmer: at it. I shall merely regard the whole business as a dream. There. Now they're destroyed. 3.3 ::AS :=Helmer: You have loved me as a wife should love her husband. It was 3.3 ::AS :=Helmer: different. Soon everything will be as it was before. I shall no longer need 3.3 ::AS :=Helmer: property in a double sense; he has, as it were, brought her into the world anew; 3.4 ::AS :=Nora: the other. Now I look back on it, it's as if I've been living here like a pauper, 3.4 ::AS :=Nora: I've been your doll-wife, just as I used to be Papa's doll-child. And the 3.4 ::AS :=Nora: you came in and played with me, just as they think it's fun when I go in and play 3.5 ::AS :=Nora: become one. I know most people think as you do, Torvald, and I know there's something 3.5 ::AS :=Nora: good heavens, I'm not such a fool as to suppose that miracles occur every day. 3.5 ::AS :=Nora: you -- once the danger was past, then as far as you were concerned it was exactly 3.5 ::AS :=Nora: once the danger was past, then as far as you were concerned it was exactly as though 3.5 ::AS :=Nora: as you were concerned it was exactly as though nothing has happened. I was your 3.5 ::AS :=Nora: I was your little songbird just as before -- your doll whom henceforth you 3.5 ::AS :=Nora: As I am now, I am no wife for you. 3.5 ::AS :=Helmer: But we can't live as brother and sister, then -- ? 3.5 ::AS :=Nora: they're in better hands than mine. As I am now, I can be nothing to them. 3.5 ::AS :=Helmer: But you are my wife, both as you are and as you will be. 3.5 ::AS :=Helmer: you are my wife, both as you are and as you will be. 3.5 ::AS :=Nora: a wife leaves her husband's house, as I'm doing now, I'm told that according 3.5 ::AS :=Nora: to me in any way, however small, just as I shall not feel bound to you. We must 2.3 ::ASHAMED :=Nora: a fine gentleman, Dr. Rank. Aren't you ashamed of yourself, now that the lamp's 1.1 ::ASK :=Helmer: he'll be dining with us. Anyway, I'll ask him when he comes this morning. I've 1.2 ::ASK :=Nora: Well, ask her to come in. 1.2 ::ASK :=Mrs. Linde: My dear Nora, it's I who should ask you not to be angry. That's the worst 1.4 ::ASK :=Helmer: no need. But now I'm afraid I must ask you to excuse me -- 1.5 ::ASK :=Krogstad: Might I be so bold as to ask: was not that lady a Mrs. Linde? 1.5 ::ASK :=Krogstad: I thought you would. Well then, may I ask you a straight question: is Mrs. Linde 1.5 ::ASK :=Nora: my husband's employees? But since you ask, you shall have an answer. Yes, Mrs. 1.5 ::ASK :=Krogstad: May I ask you a question? Why didn't you send this 1.6 ::ASK :=Nora: hadn't been so busy, I was going to ask you an enormous favour, Torvald. 2.1 ::ASK :=Nora: just happened to be passing. I want to ask you to help me with something. Let's 2.1 ::ASK :=Nora: -- Though I'm sure that if I ever did ask him -- 2.2 ::ASK :=Nora: Yes, Torvald, yes, you must do as I ask! You must let Krogstad keep his place 2.3 ::ASK :=Rank: is likely to begin. I want to ask you a favour. Helmer's a sensitive chap, 2.3 ::ASK :=Nora: Suppose I were to ask you to -- ? No -- 2.5 ::ASK :=Mrs. Linde: Krogstad must ask him to send the letter back unread. He 3.1 ::ASK :=Mrs. Linde: No, Nils, you mustn't ask for that letter back. 3.2 ::ASK :=Rank: You? Very well -- since you ask. Sleep well. And thank you for the l 3.5 ::ASK :=Helmer: Do you need to ask where your duty lies in your own home? 1.3 ::ASKED :=Nora: young wives; I cried and prayed; I asked him to remember my condition, and said 1.5 ::ASKED :=Krogstad: I asked whether it was merely domestic unpleasantness 1.5 ::ASKED :=Nora: I couldn't. Papa was very ill. If I'd asked him to sign this, I'd have had to tell 1.6 ::ASKED :=Helmer: from your face, he's been here and asked you to put in a good word for him. 1.6 ::ASKED :=Helmer: going to tell me he'd been here? He asked you to do that too, didn't he? 2.2 ::ASKED :=Nora: If little squirrel asked you really prettily to grant her a 3.1 ::ASKED :=Mrs. Linde: Perhaps not. I've often asked myself that. 3.1 ::ASKED :=Krogstad: me -- wasn't that the real reason you asked me to come here? 1.3 ::ASKING :=Nora: of letting him into the plot and asking him not to tell. But since he was 1.6 ::ASKING :=Nurse: The children are asking if they can come in to Mummy. 2.1 ::ASKING :=Nora: Are they still asking to see me? 2.1 ::ASKING :=Mrs. Linde: I hear you were at my room asking for me. 2.1 ::ASKING :=Nora: No, I could never have dreamed of asking Dr. Rank -- Though I'm sure that if 2.3 ::ASKING :=Rank: Nora -- Mrs. Helmer -- I am asking you, did you know this? 2.4 ::ASKING :=Krogstad: I'm not asking your husband for money. 3.1 ::ASLEEP :=Mrs. Linde: Come in. We're quite alone. The maid's asleep, and the Helmers are at the dance 2.3 ::ASPARAGUS :=Nora: You mean he was too fond of asparagus and foie gras? 3.3 ::ASSIST :=Helmer: world," as you put it? It wouldn't assist me in the slightest. He can still 1.5 ::ASSURE :=Nora: But I assure you -- 1.5 ::ASSURE :=Krogstad: exactly what you have done. But I can assure you that it is no bigger nor worse 1.6 ::ASSURE :=Helmer: hand. There. That's settled, now. I assure you it'd be quite impossible for me 1.1 ::ASSURED :=Helmer: thing to know that one's position is assured and that one has ample income. Don't 1.1 ::AT :=Helmer: know how these small expenses crop up at Christmas. 1.1 ::AT :=Helmer: Not a little nibble at a macaroon? 1.1 ::AT :=Helmer: I'm not at home to any visitors. Remember! 1.2 ::AT :=Nora: look like your old self. It was just at first that -- you've got a little paler, 1.2 ::AT :=Nora: Nothing at all, then? 1.2 ::AT :=Mrs. Linde: haven't you grown up yet? When we were at school you were a terrible little spe 1.2 ::AT :=Nora: our best friend, and he looks us up at least once every day. No, Torvald hasn't 1.2 ::AT :=Nora: Torvald should hear! He mustn't, at any price -- no one must know, Christine 1.3 ::AT :=Rank: There's a moral cripple in with Helmer at this very moment -- 1.3 ::AT :=Nora: I think it's a bore. I was laughing at something else -- something frightfully 1.3 ::AT :=Nora: Dr. Rank -- will everyone who works at the bank come under Torvald now? 1.3 ::AT :=Nora: I'll have one too. Just a little one. Two at the most. Yes, now I feel really, 1.4 ::AT :=Nora: You see, Christine's frightfully good at office work, and she's mad to come under 1.4 ::AT :=Helmer: You've come at a lucky moment, Mrs. Linde. 1.4 ::AT :=Nora: come in! Oh, my sweet darlings -- ! Look at them, Christine! Aren't they bea 1.5 ::AT :=Nora: My husband is not at home, Mr. Krogstad. 1.5 ::AT :=Krogstad: question: is Mrs. Linde to be employed at the bank? 1.5 ::AT :=Krogstad: to see that I keep my humble position at the bank? 1.5 ::AT :=Krogstad: to, I shall fight for my little job at the bank as I would fight for my life 1.5 ::AT :=Krogstad: And of course you posted it at once; for within five or six days you 1.5 ::AT :=Krogstad: twenty-ninth of September. But look at this. Here your father has dated his signature 1.6 ::AT :=Nora: forward to that fancy dress ball at the Stenborgs on Boxing Day. 1.6 ::AT :=Nora: so anxious to look really beautiful at the fancy dress ball. Torvald, couldn't 1.6 ::AT :=Helmer: come across it so often in my work at the bar. Nearly all young criminals are 1.6 ::AT :=Helmer: this fellow Krogstad has been sitting at home all these years poisoning his children 2.1 ::AT :=Nurse: I found those fancy dress clothes at last, madam. 2.1 ::AT :=Nurse: why, there'll be no one at the ball as beautiful as my Miss Nora 2.1 ::AT :=Mrs. Linde: I hear you were at my room asking for me. 2.1 ::AT :=Nora: Let's sit down here on the sofa. Look at this. There's going to be a fancy dress 2.1 ::AT :=Nora: dress ball tomorrow night upstairs at Consul Stenborg's, and Torvald wants me 2.2 ::AT :=Helmer: Yes. Look at these. I've been down to the bank -- 2.2 ::AT :=Nora: You must let Krogstad keep his place at the bank! 2.2 ::AT :=Helmer: for me to keep him. Everyone at the bank already knows that I intend to 2.2 ::AT :=Helmer: And I hear he's quite efficient at his job. But we -- well, we were schoolfriends. 2.2 ::AT :=Helmer: for all. Take this letter downstairs at once. Find a messenger and see that he 2.2 ::AT :=Helmer: now? There, there, there; don't look at me with those frightened little eyes. 2.3 ::AT :=Rank: same merciless law of retribution is at work -- 2.3 ::AT :=Rank: Well, at any rate now you know that I am ready 2.3 ::AT :=Nora: When I was at home, of course I loved Papa best. But 2.3 ::AT :=Nora: sweet Dr. Rank, I didn't mean that at all. But I'm sure you understand -- I 2.3 ::AT :=Nora: No, no, nothing at all. It's just something that -- it's 2.4 ::AT :=Nora: Speak quietly. My husband's at home. 2.4 ::AT :=Krogstad: Most of us think of that at first. I did. But I hadn't the courage 2.5 ::AT :=Nora: But Torvald always opens the box at just about this time -- 2.5 ::AT :=Nora: No, I haven't practised at all yet. 2.5 ::AT :=Nora: Let me start practising now, at once -- we've still time before dinner. 2.5 ::AT :=Helmer: No, no, this won't do at all. 3.1 ::AT :=Krogstad: I found a note from you at my lodgings. What does this mean? 3.1 ::AT :=Mrs. Linde: We couldn't meet at my place; my room has no separate entrance. 3.1 ::AT :=Mrs. Linde: The maid's asleep, and the Helmers are at the dance upstairs. 3.1 ::AT :=Krogstad: been swept from under my feet. Look at me. Now I am a shipwrecked man, clinging 3.1 ::AT :=Mrs. Linde: Help may be near at hand. 3.1 ::AT :=Mrs. Linde: I've learned to look at things practically. Life and poverty have 3.1 ::AT :=Krogstad: this? You want to save your friend at any price? Tell me the truth. Is that 3.1 ::AT :=Mrs. Linde: Yes -- at first, when I was frightened. But a day 3.1 ::AT :=Krogstad: risk it. But one thing I can do -- and at once -- 3.2 ::AT :=Helmer: Well, take a good look at her. She's worth looking at, don't you 3.2 ::AT :=Helmer: good look at her. She's worth looking at, don't you think? Isn't she beautiful, 3.2 ::AT :=Helmer: she unbelievably beautiful? Everyone at the party said so. But dreadfully stubborn 3.2 ::AT :=Helmer: good night. Well, we've got rid of her at last. Dreadful bore that woman is! 3.2 ::AT :=Nora: Don't look at me like that, Torvald! 3.2 ::AT :=Helmer: What, not look at my most treasured possession? At all this 3.2 ::AT :=Helmer: look at my most treasured possession? At all this wonderful beauty that's mine, 3.2 ::AT :=Helmer: and that nobody knows there's anything at all between us. 3.2 ::AT :=Nora: Tell me. What shall we two wear at the next masquerade? 3.2 ::AT :=Rank: At the next masquerade, I shall be invis 3.3 ::AT :=Helmer: Hullo, what's this? Someone's been at the lock. 3.3 ::AT :=Nora: At the lock -- ? 3.3 ::AT :=Helmer: out the light on the staircase. Look at this! You see how they've piled up? What 3.3 ::AT :=Helmer: somehow. This thing must be hushed up at any price. As regards our relationship 3.3 ::AT :=Helmer: shreds and tatters -- What can that be? At this hour? Surely not -- ? He wouldn't 3.3 ::AT :=Helmer: Let me see -- ! No, I don't want to look at it. I shall merely regard the whole 3.4 ::AT :=Nora: I'm leaving you now, at once. Christine will put me up for tonight 3.5 ::AT :=Helmer: If religion cannot guide you, let me at least appeal to your conscience. I presume 3.5 ::AT :=Helmer: But at least you must let me send you -- 1.6 ::ATMOSPHERE :=Helmer: Because an atmosphere of lies contaminates and poisons 2.3 ::ATONE :=Rank: With death on my hands? And all this to atone for someone else's sin? Is there justice 2.2 ::ATTEMPT :=Helmer: terms. And the tactless idiot makes no attempt to conceal it when other people are 1.3 ::ATTITUDE :=Rank: Well, there we have it. It's that attitude that's turning human society into 2.1 ::ATTRACTIVE :=Nora: . Yes, Torvald understands how to make a home look attractive. 3.3 ::ATTRACTIVE :=Helmer: helplessness did not make you doubly attractive in my eyes. You mustn't mind the 1.4 ::AU :=Nora: Au revoir. You'll be coming back this evening, 1.6 ::AUTHORITY :=Helmer: I persuaded the trustees to give me authority to make certain immediate changes 2.3 ::AVAIL :=Rank: Thank you. I shall avail myself of that privilege as long as 3.3 ::AWAKENING :=Helmer: Oh, what a dreadful awakening? For eight whole years -- she who 3.1 ::AWARE :=Krogstad: I wasn't aware of it. 1.1 ::AWAY :=Nora: Hide that Christmas tree away, Helen. The children mustnUt see it 1.1 ::AWAY :=Helmer: three whole weeks you shut yourself away every evening to make flowers for the 1.2 ::AWAY :=Nora: of me to sit here and chatter away like this! Dear, sweet Christine, can 1.2 ::AWAY :=Nora: Yes. It wasn't easy for me to get away, you know. I'd just had Ivar. But of 1.2 ::AWAY :=Nora: had a moment's illness since we went away. And the children are fit and healthy 1.2 ::AWAY :=Mrs. Linde: doesn't need me any more; she's passed away. And the boys don't need me either; 1.2 ::AWAY :=Nora: be much better for you if you could go away somewhere. 1.3 ::AWAY :=Nora: lot of copying to do. So I shut myself away and wrote every evening, late into the 1.6 ::AWAY :=Nora: to the nursery. I've a lot to do. Go away, my darlings, go away. No! Helen! Bring 1.6 ::AWAY :=Nora: a lot to do. Go away, my darlings, go away. No! Helen! Bring in the Christmas tree! 2.1 ::AWAY :=Nora: they'd forget their mother if she went away from them -- for ever? 2.1 ::AWAY :=Nora: How could you bear to give your child away -- to strangers? 2.1 ::AWAY :=Nora: and nothing would happen while I was away! Stupid, stupid! No one will come. I 2.1 ::AWAY :=Mrs. Linde: that right; the stitching's just come away. Needle and thread? Ah, here we are 2.3 ::AWAY :=Rank: Don't worry. He won't get away from me. 2.4 ::AWAY :=Krogstad: Such as running away -- 3.2 ::AWAY :=Helmer: had to use force to get her away! 3.2 ::AWAY :=Nora: Leave me, Torvald! Get away from me! I don't want all this. 3.3 ::AWAY :=Helmer: But so soon -- ! And now he's going to slink away and hide like a wounded beast 3.5 ::AWAY :=Nora: meant this and that. When I get away from all this and can think things out 1.1 ::AWFUL :=Helmer: creature, but she gets through an awful lot of money. It's incredible what 1.2 ::AWFUL :=Nora: saved Torvald's life. But it cost an awful lot of money, Christine. 1.1 ::AWFULLY :=Helmer: By the way, that reminds me. You look awfully -- how shall I put it? -- awfully 1.1 ::AWFULLY :=Helmer: look awfully -- how shall I put it? -- awfully guilty today. 1.3 ::AWFULLY :=Nora: Well, I can't say exactly. It's awfully difficult to keep an exact check 2.1 ::AWFULLY :=Nora: You're being awfully sweet. 1.4 ::BABY :=Nora: a moment, Anne-Marie! My sweet little baby doll! Yes, yes, Mummy will dance with 1.4 ::BABY :=Nora: you? No, dogs don't bite lovely little baby dolls. Leave those parcels alone, Ivar. 1.2 ::BACK :=Mrs. Linde: And your husband came back completely cured? 1.4 ::BACK :=Nora: Au revoir. You'll be coming back this evening, of course. And you too, 1.5 ::BACK :=Krogstad: wants to kick me off that ladder back into the dirt. 1.5 ::BACK :=Krogstad: Then I gave you back this I.O.U. for you to post to your 1.6 ::BACK :=Nora: I know, but I can't just now. Go back to the nursery. I've a lot to do. Go 1.6 ::BACK :=Nora: Oh -- are you back already? 2.1 ::BACK :=Nora: would -- no, silly, silly, silly! Go back to them, Anne- Marie. Now I must -- 2.1 ::BACK :=Nora: as mentioned any of my old friends back home. So naturally, I stopped talking 2.1 ::BACK :=Mrs. Linde: Behind your husband's back? 2.1 ::BACK :=Nora: and that's been going on behind his back. I've got to get out of it. 2.1 ::BACK :=Nora: repaid a debt, you get your I.O.U. back, don't you? 2.2 ::BACK :=Nora: I've been so longing for you to come back! 2.2 ::BACK :=Nora: Call her back, Torvald! There's still time. Oh, Torvald, 2.2 ::BACK :=Nora: still time. Oh, Torvald, call her back! Do it for my sake -- for your own sake 2.4 ::BACK :=Maid: Yes, madam, he came up the back way -- 2.4 ::BACK :=Krogstad: you offered me now I wouldn't give you back that paper. 2.4 ::BACK :=Krogstad: time; I was content to fight my way back inch by inch. Now I've been chucked 2.4 ::BACK :=Krogstad: inch by inch. Now I've been chucked back into the mud, and I'm not going to be 2.4 ::BACK :=Krogstad: to be satisfied with just getting back my job. I'm going to get to the top, 2.4 ::BACK :=Krogstad: the top, I tell you. I'm going to get back into the bank, and it's going to be 2.5 ::BACK :=Mrs. Linde: must ask him to send the letter back unread. He must find some excuse -- 2.5 ::BACK :=Mrs. Linde: Go in and keep him talking. I'll be back as quickly as I can. 2.5 ::BACK :=Mrs. Linde: He'll be back tomorrow evening. I left a note for 3.1 ::BACK :=Krogstad: I shall demand my letter back. 3.1 ::BACK :=Krogstad: down. I'll tell him he must give me back my letter -- I'll say it was only to 3.1 ::BACK :=Mrs. Linde: Nils, you mustn't ask for that letter back. 3.2 ::BACK :=Nora: No, no, no -- not in here! I want to go back upstairs. I don't want to leave so 3.2 ::BACK :=Mrs. Linde: up. And I felt I really couldn't go back home without seeing you. 3.2 ::BACK :=Helmer: mood for ages. I say, it's nice to get back to one's home again, and be all alone 3.4 ::BACK :=Nora: one and then the other. Now I look back on it, it's as if I've been living here 3.5 ::BACK :=Nora: both be quite free. Here is your ring back. Give me mine. 3.3 ::BACKGROUND :=Helmer: seemed to provide a kind of dark background to the happy sunlight of our marriage. 1.5 ::BAD :=Krogstad: Listen, Mrs. Helmer. Either you've a bad memory or else you know very little about 2.4 ::BAD :=Krogstad: Yes, a bad lawyer like me -- 2.4 ::BALANCE :=Krogstad: How can you stop him? Can you pay the balance of what you owe me? 3.3 ::BALANCE :=Helmer: Try to calm yourself and get your balance again, my frightened little songbird. 1.6 ::BALL :=Nora: looking forward to that fancy dress ball at the Stenborgs on Boxing Day. 1.6 ::BALL :=Nora: really beautiful at the fancy dress ball. Torvald, couldn't you help me to decide 2.1 ::BALL :=Nurse: why, there'll be no one at the ball as beautiful as my Miss Nora. 2.1 ::BALL :=Nora: There's going to be a fancy dress ball tomorrow night upstairs at Consul Stenborg's, 3.2 ::BALLROOM :=Helmer: under my arm -- a swift round of the ballroom, a curtsey to the company, and, 1.2 ::BANK :=Nora: just been made manager of the bank! 1.2 ::BANK :=Nora: how happy we are! He's joining the bank in the New Year, and he'll be getting 1.3 ::BANK :=Krogstad: call it. I hold a minor post in the bank, and I hear your husband is to become 1.3 ::BANK :=Rank: All I heard was something about the bank. 1.3 ::BANK :=Nora: Krogstad had any connection with the bank. 1.3 ::BANK :=Nora: Rank -- will everyone who works at the bank come under Torvald now? 1.4 ::BANK :=Nora: she heard you'd become head of the bank -- it was in her local paper -- she 1.5 ::BANK :=Krogstad: is Mrs. Linde to be employed at the bank? 1.5 ::BANK :=Nora: Mrs. Linde is to be employed by the bank. And I arranged it, Mr. Krogstad. Now 1.5 ::BANK :=Krogstad: that I keep my humble position at the bank? 1.5 ::BANK :=Krogstad: I shall fight for my little job at the bank as I would fight for my life. 1.5 ::BANK :=Krogstad: respectability I can. This job in the bank was the first step on the ladder. And 1.6 ::BANK :=Helmer: Just something to do with the bank. 2.2 ::BANK :=Helmer: Look at these. I've been down to the bank -- 2.2 ::BANK :=Nora: let Krogstad keep his place at the bank! 2.2 ::BANK :=Helmer: for me to keep him. Everyone at the bank already knows that I intend to dismiss 2.2 ::BANK :=Helmer: impossible for Krogstad to remain in the bank while I am its manager. 2.4 ::BANK :=Krogstad: you. I'm going to get back into the bank, and it's going to be higher up. Your 2.4 ::BANK :=Krogstad: Nils Krogstad who'll be running that bank, not Torvald Helmer! RESP Nora. That 1.2 ::BANKRUPT :=Mrs. Linde: you see, Nora. When he died it went bankrupt, and there was nothing left. 2.3 ::BANKRUPT :=Rank: poor body of mine, and I find I am bankrupt. Within a month I may be rotting 2.5 ::BANQUET :=Helmer: I say! What's this, a banquet? 1.6 ::BAR :=Helmer: across it so often in my work at the bar. Nearly all young criminals are the children 1.5 ::BARRED :=Krogstad: but from that day, every opening was barred to me. So I turned my hand to the 1.1 ::BE :=Helmer: Well, you know, we canUt afford to be extravagant. 1.1 ::BE :=Nora: Oh yes, Torvald, we can be a little extravagant now. CanUt we? Just 1.1 ::BE :=Helmer: that is founded on debts can never be a place of freedom and beauty. We two 1.1 ::BE :=Nora: you, Torvald, thank you! I should be able to manage with this. 1.1 ::BE :=Nora: on the Christmas tree. Wouldn't that be fun? 1.1 ::BE :=Helmer: To be sure it would be, if you could keep what 1.1 ::BE :=Helmer: To be sure it would be, if you could keep what I give you and 1.1 ::BE :=Helmer: Just like your father used to be. Always on the look-out for some way to 1.1 ::BE :=Helmer: wish my darling little songbird to be any different from what she is. By the 1.1 ::BE :=Helmer: Christmas secrets to yourself. They'll be revealed this evening, I've no doubt, 1.1 ::BE :=Helmer: No. But there's no need; he knows he'll be dining with us. Anyway, I'll ask him when 1.1 ::BE :=Helmer: I don't have to sit by myself and be bored. And you don't have to tire your 1.2 ::BE :=Nora: Is it so long? Yes, it must be. Oh, these last eight years have been 1.2 ::BE :=Nora: let's sit down here by the stove and be comfortable. No, you take the armchair. 1.2 ::BE :=Nora: All alone. How dreadful that must be for you. I've three lovely children. I'm 1.2 ::BE :=Nora: No, you start. I'm not going to be selfish today, I'm just going to think 1.2 ::BE :=Nora: the bank in the New Year, and he'll be getting a big salary, and lots of percentages 1.2 ::BE :=Nora: of percentages too. From now on we'll be able to live quite differently -- we'll 1.2 ::BE :=Nora: to live quite differently -- we'll be able to do whatever we want. Oh, Christine, 1.2 ::BE :=Mrs. Linde: It must be lovely to have enough to cover one's needs, 1.2 ::BE :=Nora: isn't it a wonderful thing to be alive and happy! Oh, but how beastly of 1.2 ::BE :=Nora: talking about myself. Oh, please don't be angry with me! Tell me, is it really true 1.2 ::BE :=Mrs. Linde: cut off from the world. I thought it'd be easier to fine some work here that will 1.2 ::BE :=Nora: practically finished already. It'd be much better for you if you could go away 1.2 ::BE :=Nora: Oh, please don't be angry with me. 1.2 ::BE :=Mrs. Linde: Nora, it's I who should ask you not to be angry. That's the worst thing about this 1.2 ::BE :=Mrs. Linde: no one to work for; and yet one has to be continually sponging for jobs. One has 1.2 ::BE :=Nora: I understand. You mean Torvald might be able to do something for you? 1.2 ::BE :=Mrs. Linde: I think I have a right to be. 1.2 ::BE :=Nora: I too have done something to be proud and happy about. 1.3 ::BE :=Nora: -- I too have done something to be happy and proud about. It was I who saved 1.3 ::BE :=Nora: Lottery? What would there be to be proud of in that? 1.3 ::BE :=Nora: Lottery? What would there be to be proud of in that? 1.3 ::BE :=Nora: business sense, and knows how to be clever -- 1.3 ::BE :=Nora: I told him how wonderful it would be for me to go abroad like other young wives; 1.3 ::BE :=Nora: my condition, and said he ought to be nice and tender to me; and then I suggested 1.3 ::BE :=Nora: Well, well, I thought, you've got to be saved somehow. And then I thought of a 1.3 ::BE :=Nora: he's so proud of being a man -- it'd be so painful and humiliating for him to 1.3 ::BE :=Nora: play the fool for him. Then it might be useful to have something up my sleeve. 1.3 ::BE :=Nora: letters: "Everything I possess is to be paid forthwith to my beloved Mrs. Nora 1.3 ::BE :=Nora: likes. And, Christine, it'll soon be spring, and the air'll be fresh and the 1.3 ::BE :=Nora: it'll soon be spring, and the air'll be fresh and the skies blue, -- and then 1.3 ::BE :=Nora: skies blue, -- and then perhaps we'll be able to take a little trip somewhere. 1.3 ::BE :=Nora: take a little trip somewhere. I shall be able to see the sea again. Oh, yes, yes, 1.3 ::BE :=Nora: yes, yes, it's a wonderful thing to be alive and happy! 1.3 ::BE :=Nora: No, stay. It won't be for me. It's someone for Torvald -- 1.3 ::BE :=Rank: wife. Oh, I beg your pardon. I seem to be de trop here too. 1.4 ::BE :=Helmer: Well, that shouldn't be impossible. You are a widow, I take it, 1.4 ::BE :=Helmer: Well then, it's quite likely I may be able to find some job for you -- 1.4 ::BE :=Nora: Don't be too long, Torvald dear. 1.4 ::BE :=Helmer: I'll only be an hour. 1.4 ::BE :=Nora: Au revoir. You'll be coming back this evening, of course. And 1.4 ::BE :=Nora: you're well enough? Of course you'll be well enough. Wrap up warmly, though. 1.5 ::BE :=Krogstad: Might I be so bold as to ask: was not that lady a 1.5 ::BE :=Krogstad: a straight question: is Mrs. Linde to be employed at the bank? 1.5 ::BE :=Nora: have an answer. Yes, Mrs. Linde is to be employed by the bank. And I arranged it, 1.5 ::BE :=Krogstad: Will you be so good as to see that I keep my humble 1.5 ::BE :=Krogstad: innocent with me. I realize it can't be very pleasant for your friend to risk 1.5 ::BE :=Nora: Once the New Year is in, I'll soon be rid of you. 1.5 ::BE :=Nora: That'd be a filthy trick! This secret that is my 1.5 ::BE :=Nora: All right, do it! You'll be the one who'll suffer. It'll show my husband 1.5 ::BE :=Krogstad: much about the details. So it won't be out of place if I refresh your memory. 1.5 ::BE :=Krogstad: for the debt. This paragraph was to be signed by your father. 1.5 ::BE :=Nora: Was to be? He did sign it. 1.5 ::BE :=Nora: Then the law must be very stupid. 1.5 ::BE :=Krogstad: this paper to the police, you will be judged according to it. 1.5 ::BE :=Nora: much about the law, but there must be something somewhere that says that such 1.5 ::BE :=Nora: to know about that, you're meant to be a lawyer, aren't you? You can't be a very 1.5 ::BE :=Nora: to be a lawyer, aren't you? You can't be a very good lawyer, Mr. Krogstad. 1.6 ::BE :=Maid: Will you be wanting anything else? 1.6 ::BE :=Nora: Nonsense, nonsense, there's nothing to be frightened about. The Christmas tree must 1.6 ::BE :=Nora: about. The Christmas tree must be beautiful. I'll do everything that you 1.6 ::BE :=Helmer: Well, tell me. What was it to be? 1.6 ::BE :=Helmer: load on his conscience must always be lying and cheating and dissembling; how 1.6 ::BE :=Helmer: That's settled, now. I assure you it'd be quite impossible for me to work in the 1.6 ::BE :=Nora: It's nonsense. It must be. It's impossible. It must be impossib 1.6 ::BE :=Nora: It must be. It's impossible. It must be impossible! 1.6 ::BE :=Nora: -- ! Poison my home! It isn't true! It couldn't be true! 2.1 ::BE :=Nurse: Why, madam! They'll be all right. Just a little patience. 2.1 ::BE :=Nora: Well, that wouldn't be the worst. How are the children? 2.1 ::BE :=Nora: but, Anne-Marie, from now on I shan't be able to spend so much time with them. 2.1 ::BE :=Nurse: why, there'll be no one at the ball as beautiful as my 2.1 ::BE :=Nora: Oh, if only I dared go out! If I could be sure no one would come, and nothing would 2.1 ::BE :=Nora: Yes, I just happened to be passing. I want to ask you to help me 2.1 ::BE :=Nora: sofa. Look at this. There's going to be a fancy dress ball tomorrow night upstairs 2.1 ::BE :=Nora: Oh, don't be silly, Christine -- when one has three 2.1 ::BE :=Mrs. Linde: But how dare a man of his education be so forward? 2.1 ::BE :=Nora: who comes here every day! Why, that'd be an impossible situation! 2.2 ::BE :=Helmer: I won't disturb you. I expect you'll be wanting to try it on. 2.2 ::BE :=Nora: people may not dig up. We could be so peaceful and happy now, Torvald -- 2.2 ::BE :=Nora: and happy now, Torvald -- we could be free from every worry -- you and I and 2.2 ::BE :=Helmer: he thinks it gives him the right to be familiar with me. He shows off the whole 2.2 ::BE :=Helmer: You call my motives petty. Then I must be petty too. Petty! I see. Well, I've had 2.2 ::BE :=Helmer: it an insult to imply that I should be frightened by the vindictiveness of a 2.2 ::BE :=Helmer: you bear me. Which is as it should be, my own dearest Nora. Let what will happen, 2.2 ::BE :=Helmer: man and wife. And that is as it should be. Are you happy now? There, there, there; 2.3 ::BE :=Nora: that. I'd rather anything. There must be some escape -- ! Some way out -- ! Dr. 2.3 ::BE :=Rank: on the way out. And there's nothing to be done about it. 2.3 ::BE :=Rank: I am bankrupt. Within a month I may be rotting up there in the churchyard. 2.3 ::BE :=Nora: this evening. And I did hope you'd be in a good mood. 2.3 ::BE :=Nora: Aha! But surely you can't be jealous of poor Christine? 2.3 ::BE :=Rank: Indeed I am. She will be my successor in this house. When I have 2.3 ::BE :=Nora: heavens, how unreasonable you are! Be nice now, Dr. Rank. Tomorrow you'll see 2.3 ::BE :=Rank: What other wonders are to be revealed to me? 2.3 ::BE :=Rank: And not to be able to leave even the most wretched token 2.3 ::BE :=Rank: sense of loss; only an empty place, to be filled by the next comer. 2.3 ::BE :=Rank: the better. I've no idea what it can be. But tell me. You do trust me, don't 2.3 ::BE :=Nora: -- I really can't say. How could you be so stupid, Dr. Rank? Everything was so 2.3 ::BE :=Rank: mustn't punish me like this. Let me be allowed to do what I can for you. 2.3 ::BE :=Rank: I'd often felt you'd just as soon be with me as with Helmer. 2.3 ::BE :=Nora: others whom it's almost more fun to be with. 2.4 ::BE :=Krogstad: It can all be settled quite amicably. There's no need 2.4 ::BE :=Krogstad: It'd be a stupid thing to do anyway. Once the 2.4 ::BE :=Krogstad: into the mud, and I'm not going to be satisfied with just getting back my job. 2.4 ::BE :=Krogstad: back into the bank, and it's going to be higher up. Your husband's going to create 2.4 ::BE :=Krogstad: him, you'll see! Within a year I'll be his right-hand man. It'll be Nils Krogstad 2.4 ::BE :=Krogstad: year I'll be his right-hand man. It'll be Nils Krogstad who'll be running that bank, 2.4 ::BE :=Krogstad: man. It'll be Nils Krogstad who'll be running that bank, not Torvald Helmer! 2.4 ::BE :=Krogstad: things Mrs. Helmer. And anyway, what'd be the use? I've got him in my pocket. 2.4 ::BE :=Krogstad: then that your reputation will be in my hands? Well, I've warned you. Don't 2.5 ::BE :=Mrs. Linde: Oh, believe me, Nora, it'll be best for you both. 2.5 ::BE :=Nora: Christine, all I want is for you to be my witness. 2.5 ::BE :=Nora: but it's no use. There's nothing to be done now. The letter's lying there in 2.5 ::BE :=Mrs. Linde: him. Go in and keep him talking. I'll be back as quickly as I can. 2.5 ::BE :=Nora: Yes, no one's to be allowed to see me before tomorrow nig 2.5 ::BE :=Helmer: Yes, would you? Then it'll be easier for me to show her. 2.5 ::BE :=Nora: Then you will be free. 2.5 ::BE :=Nora: down -- and you too, Dr. Rank. I'll be with you in a minute. Christine, you must 2.5 ::BE :=Mrs. Linde: He'll be back tomorrow evening. I left a note for 2.5 ::BE :=Nora: understand. Go in and join them. I'll be with you in a moment. 2.5 ::BE :=Nora: tomorrow. And then the tarantella will be finished. Twenty-four and seven? Thirty-one 3.1 ::BE :=Mrs. Linde: Help may be near at hand. 3.1 ::BE :=Mrs. Linde: Have you ever known me be hysterical? 3.1 ::BE :=Mrs. Linde: I need someone to be a mother to; and your children need a 3.1 ::BE :=Mrs. Linde: As soon as it's finished, they'll be coming down. 3.1 ::BE :=Mrs. Linde: This unhappy secret of Nora's must be revealed. They must come to a full understanding; 3.1 ::BE :=Mrs. Linde: to a full understanding; there must be an end of all these shiftings and eva 3.2 ::BE :=Helmer: her pretty little heart. What's to be done about that? Would you believe it, 3.2 ::BE :=Helmer: disappeared! And exit should always be dramatic, Mrs. Linde. But unfortunately 3.2 ::BE :=Helmer: to get back to one's home again, and be all alone with you. Upon my word, you're 3.2 ::BE :=Helmer: go. Nora -- soon the whole house will be absolutely quiet. 3.2 ::BE :=Helmer: You seemed to be having a pretty happy time yourself u 3.2 ::BE :=Helmer: Well said! But what are you going to be? Have you decided that? 3.2 ::BE :=Rank: At the next masquerade, I shall be invisible. 3.3 ::BE :=Helmer: It's absolutely full. There'll be no room for the newspapers in the mor 3.3 ::BE :=Helmer: Ah, poor fellow. I knew I wouldn't be seeing him for much longer. But so soon 3.3 ::BE :=Helmer: No, no. Not tonight. Tonight I want to be with you, my darling wife -- 3.3 ::BE :=Helmer: No, no -- it's impossible, it can't be true! 3.3 ::BE :=Helmer: recklessness and instability -- be quiet! -- I repeat, all your father's 3.3 ::BE :=Nora: I am gone from this world, you will be free. 3.3 ::BE :=Helmer: Oh, don't be melodramatic. Your father was always ready 3.3 ::BE :=Helmer: and if he does, I may quite easily be suspected of having been an accomplice 3.3 ::BE :=Helmer: buy him off somehow. This thing must be hushed up at any price. As regards our 3.3 ::BE :=Helmer: our relationship -- we must appear to be living together just as before. Only appear, 3.3 ::BE :=Helmer: is understood. But the children shall be taken out of your hands. I dare no longer 3.3 ::BE :=Helmer: that must finished. Henceforth there can be no question of happiness; we must 3.3 ::BE :=Helmer: what shreds and tatters -- What can that be? At this hour? Surely not -- ? He 3.3 ::BE :=Helmer: the whole sordid business. We'll just be happy and go on telling ourselves over 3.3 ::BE :=Helmer: you. I shall guide you. I would not be a true man if your feminine helplessness 3.3 ::BE :=Helmer: moments when my whole world seemed to be tumbling about my ears. I have forgiven 3.3 ::BE :=Helmer: my frightened little songbird. Don't be afraid. I have broad wings to shield you. 3.3 ::BE :=Helmer: quite different. Soon everything will be as it was before. I shall no longer need 3.3 ::BE :=Helmer: From now on that is what you shall be to me, my poor, helpless, bewildered little 3.3 ::BE :=Helmer: bewildered little creature. Never be frightened of anything again, Nora. Just 3.3 ::BE :=Helmer: Just open your heart to me. I shall be both your will and your conscience. What's 3.4 ::BE :=Nora: me. You just thought it was fun to be in love with me. 3.4 ::BE :=Helmer: Nora, how can you be so unreasonable and ungrateful? Haven't 3.4 ::BE :=Nora: been your doll-wife, just as I used to be Papa's doll-child. And the children have 3.4 ::BE :=Helmer: There may be a little truth in what you say, though 3.4 ::BE :=Helmer: and romanticize. But from now on it'll be different. Playtime is over. Now the time 3.5 ::BE :=Nora: -- I mean, to where I was born. It'll be easiest for me to find some kind of a 3.5 ::BE :=Helmer: You have not. What on earth could that be? 3.5 ::BE :=Nora: know there's something of the sort to be found in books. But I'm no longer prepared 3.5 ::BE :=Nora: from what I'd imagined them to be; but I can't accept that such laws can 3.5 ::BE :=Nora: but I can't accept that such laws can be right. Has a woman really not the right 3.5 ::BE :=Nora: you weren't the man I'd thought you to be. 3.5 ::BE :=Helmer: hardship for your sake. But no man can be expected to sacrifice his honour, even 3.5 ::BE :=Nora: That may be. But you neither think nor talk like the 3.5 ::BE :=Helmer: us. Oh, but Nora -- couldn't it be bridged? 3.5 ::BE :=Helmer: But to be parted -- to be parted from you! No, no, 3.5 ::BE :=Helmer: But to be parted -- to be parted from you! No, no, Nora, I can't 3.5 ::BE :=Nora: hands than mine. As I am now, I can be nothing to them. 3.5 ::BE :=Helmer: wife, both as you are and as you will be. 3.5 ::BE :=Nora: not feel bound to you. We must both be quite free. Here is your ring back. Give 3.5 ::BE :=Helmer: Nora -- can I never be anything but a stranger to you? 1.6 ::BEAK :=Helmer: again. A songbird must have a clean beak to sing with; otherwise she'll start 1.2 ::BEAR :=Mrs. Linde: for any more. That's why I couldn't bear to stay out there any longer, cut off 2.1 ::BEAR :=Nora: I've so often wondered. How could you bear to give your child away -- to stran 2.1 ::BEAR :=Nora: for a few minutes? Torvald can't bear to see sewing around. Anne-Marie'll 2.2 ::BEAR :=Helmer: charmingly testifies to the love you bear me. Which is as it should be, my own 2.2 ::BEAR :=Helmer: or courage. I am man enough to bear the burden for us both. 3.5 ::BEAR :=Nora: borne him three children -- ! Oh, I can't bear to think of it! I could tear myself 3.3 ::BEAST :=Helmer: going to slink away and hide like a wounded beast. 1.2 ::BEASTLY :=Nora: No, Christine, it was beastly of me. Oh, my poor darling, what 1.2 ::BEASTLY :=Nora: to be alive and happy! Oh, but how beastly of me! I'm only talking about myself. 1.5 ::BEASTLY :=Nora: should hear about it in such a filthy, beastly way -- hear about it from you! It'd 1.5 ::BEASTLY :=Nora: you. I hated you because of all the beastly difficulties you'd put in my way 2.1 ::BEASTLY :=Nora: a thousand pieces and burn the filthy, beastly thing! 2.2 ::BEASTLY :=Nora: own sake. That man writes for the most beastly newspapers -- you said so yourself. 1.5 ::BEAT :=Krogstad: Look, let's not beat about the bush. There's still time, 3.3 ::BEATING :=Helmer: the claws of the falcon. Your wildly beating little heart shall find peace with 1.4 ::BEAUTIFUL :=Nora: -- ! Look at them, Christine! Aren't they beautiful? 1.6 ::BEAUTIFUL :=Nora: about. The Christmas tree must be beautiful. I'll do everything that you like, 1.6 ::BEAUTIFUL :=Nora: I'm so anxious to look really beautiful at the fancy dress ball. Torvald, 2.1 ::BEAUTIFUL :=Nurse: why, there'll be no one at the ball as beautiful as my Miss Nora. 2.3 ::BEAUTIFUL :=Nora: Flesh-coloured. Aren't they beautiful? It's very dark in here now, of 3.2 ::BEAUTIFUL :=Helmer: looking at, don't you think? Isn't she beautiful, Mrs. Linde? 3.2 ::BEAUTIFUL :=Helmer: Isn't she unbelievably beautiful? Everyone at the party said so. 3.2 ::BEAUTIFUL :=Helmer: impression? No, thank you. I took my beautiful little Capri signorina -- my capricious 3.2 ::BEAUTIFUL :=Helmer: and, as they say in novels, the beautiful apparition disappeared! And exit 3.2 ::BEAUTIFUL :=Helmer: Upon my word, you're a distractingly beautiful young woman. 3.2 ::BEAUTIFUL :=Helmer: stand there young and trembling and beautiful. All evening I've had no eyes for 2.3 ::BEAUTIFULLY :=Nora: now, Dr. Rank. Tomorrow you'll see how beautifully I shall dance; and you must imagine 1.1 ::BEAUTY :=Helmer: can never be a place of freedom and beauty. We two have stuck it out bravely 3.2 ::BEAUTY :=Helmer: possession? At all this wonderful beauty that's mine, mine alone, all mine 1.2 ::BECAME :=Nora: But it was too much for him, and he became frightfully ill. The doctors said 1.2 ::BECAUSE :=Nora: I'm afraid you can't see them now, because they're out with nanny. But you must 1.2 ::BECAUSE :=Nora: Doctor Rank, but he doesn't come because anyone's ill. He's our best friend, 1.3 ::BECAUSE :=Nora: save much on the housekeeping money, because Torvald likes to live well; and I 1.3 ::BECAUSE :=Nora: But it made me a bit sad sometimes, because it's lovely to wear pretty clothes. 1.3 ::BECAUSE :=Nora: imaginary as far as I'm concerned, because now I don't have to worry any longer! 1.5 ::BECAUSE :=Nora: has a little influence, you know. Just because one's a woman it doesn't necessarily 1.5 ::BECAUSE :=Krogstad: You say that because you don't want to help me. But I 1.5 ::BECAUSE :=Nora: I didn't care about you. I hated you because of all the beastly difficulties you'd 1.6 ::BECAUSE :=Helmer: Because an atmosphere of lies contaminates 2.2 ::BECAUSE :=Helmer: being incredibly obstinate. Just because you thoughtlessly promised to put 2.2 ::BECAUSE :=Helmer: hack journalist? But I forgive you, because it so charmingly testifies to the 2.3 ::BECAUSE :=Nora: to go down and talk to the servants; because they never told me what I ought to 3.1 ::BECAUSE :=Mrs. Linde: That's because you've never really understood m 3.1 ::BECAUSE :=Krogstad: isn't it -- a woman chucking a man because something better turns up? 3.1 ::BECAUSE :=Mrs. Linde: No -- because it wouldn't help you even if I d 3.1 ::BECAUSE :=Krogstad: You mean -- you came because of me? 3.2 ::BECAUSE :=Helmer: Do you know why I do that? It's because I pretend to myself that you're my 3.3 ::BECAUSE :=Helmer: do you think I love you any the less because you don't know how to act on your 3.4 ::BECAUSE :=Nora: have any of my own, I kept them quiet, because he wouldn't have like them. He called 3.5 ::BECAUSE :=Nora: hurts me terribly to have to say it, because you've always been so kind to me. 3.5 ::BECAUSE :=Nora: care to protect from the world because she was so weak and fragile. Torvald, 1.2 ::BECOME :=Nora: Poor Christine, you've become a widow. 1.3 ::BECOME :=Nora: ill -- ! And as things turned out, it didn't become necessary. 1.3 ::BECOME :=Krogstad: bank, and I hear your husband is to become our new chief -- 1.4 ::BECOME :=Nora: So when she heard you'd become head of the bank -- it was in her 2.1 ::BECOME :=Nora: I can't imagine that it should ever become necessary. But I'm perfectly sure 2.3 ::BECOME :=Rank: -- I cannot imagine what would have become of me if I had never entered this 2.4 ::BECOME :=Krogstad: amicably. There's no need for it to become public. We'll keep it among the three 3.1 ::BECOME :=Mrs. Linde: just now that with me you might have become a different person. 3.3 ::BECOME :=Helmer: of his heart. It means that she has become his property in a double sense; he 3.5 ::BECOME :=Nora: you -- or anyway, that I must try to become one. I know most people think as you 3.5 ::BECOME :=Nora: That life together between us two could become a marriage. Goodbye. 1.2 ::BECOMES :=Mrs. Linde: for jobs. One has to live; and so one becomes completely egocentric. When you told 3.3 ::BED :=Helmer: your conscience. What's this? Not in bed? Have you changed? 1.2 ::BEDRIDDEN :=Mrs. Linde: still alive; and she was helpless and bedridden. And I had my two little brothers 1.1 ::BEEN :=Helmer: All that? Has my little squanderbird been overspending again? 1.1 ::BEEN :=Helmer: Has my little sweet-tooth been indulging herself in town today, by 1.1 ::BEEN :=Helmer: no doubt, once the Christmas tree has been lit. 1.2 ::BEEN :=Mrs. Linde: Yes, I know. It's been nine years -- nearly ten -- 1.2 ::BEEN :=Nora: be. Oh, these last eight years have been such a happy time for me! So you've 1.2 ::BEEN :=Nora: you believe it -- my husband's just been made manager of the bank! 1.2 ::BEEN :=Nora: -- quite nice. And of course Torvald's been very firm about that -- and I'm absolutely 1.2 ::BEEN :=Nora: isn't as silly as you think. Oh, we've been in no position for me to waste money. 1.2 ::BEEN :=Mrs. Linde: hand to. These last three years have been just one endless slog for me, without 1.3 ::BEEN :=Nora: me a frightful lot of worry. It hasn't been easy for me to meet my obligations punctually. 1.3 ::BEEN :=Nora: little there as best I can. I haven't been able to save much on the housekeeping 1.4 ::BEEN :=Nora: dance with Bob too. What? Have you been throwing snowballs? Oh, I wish I'd been 1.4 ::BEEN :=Nora: throwing snowballs? Oh, I wish I'd been there! No, don't -- I'll undress them 1.5 ::BEEN :=Krogstad: Then you would have been wiser to have given up your idea of 1.5 ::BEEN :=Krogstad: the kind of business we two have been transacting -- I think you'll admit 1.6 ::BEEN :=Helmer: Yes. Has anyone been here? 1.6 ::BEEN :=Helmer: Nora, I can tell from your face, he's been here and asked you to put in a good 1.6 ::BEEN :=Helmer: You weren't going to tell me he'd been here? He asked you to do that too, didn't 1.6 ::BEEN :=Helmer: Didn't you say no one had been here? My little songbird must never 1.6 ::BEEN :=Nora: If you hadn't been so busy, I was going to ask you an enormous 1.6 ::BEEN :=Nora: Mightn't he have been forced to do it by some emergency? 1.6 ::BEEN :=Helmer: well. And yet this fellow Krogstad has been sitting at home all these years poisoning 2.1 ::BEEN :=Nora: and so on. As a result Dr. Rank has been sickly ever since he was a child -- 2.1 ::BEEN :=Nora: out of this other business; and that's been going on behind his back. I've got to 2.2 ::BEEN :=Nora: Oh, Torvald dear, I've been so longing for you to come back! 2.2 ::BEEN :=Helmer: Yes. Look at these. I've been down to the bank -- 2.2 ::BEEN :=Nora: down to investigate, and you hadn't been so kind and helpful to him. 2.3 ::BEEN :=Rank: Something I've been expecting to happen for a long time. 2.3 ::BEEN :=Rank: Mrs. Helmer. These last few days I've been going through the books of this poor 2.3 ::BEEN :=Nora: of yourself, now that the lamp's been lit? 2.4 ::BEEN :=Krogstad: I suppose you know I've been given the sack. 2.4 ::BEEN :=Krogstad: really think you had. It wouldn't have been like my old friend Torvald Helmer to 2.4 ::BEEN :=Krogstad: were with you, Mrs. Helmer. I've been thinking about you all day. Even duns 2.4 ::BEEN :=Krogstad: me. For eighteen months now my records been clean. I've been in hard straits all 2.4 ::BEEN :=Krogstad: months now my records been clean. I've been in hard straits all that time; I was 2.4 ::BEEN :=Krogstad: my way back inch by inch. Now I've been chucked back into the mud, and I'm not 2.5 ::BEEN :=Helmer: Rank's been preparing me for some great transformation 2.5 ::BEEN :=Rank: So I understood. But I seem to have been mistaken. 2.5 ::BEEN :=Helmer: you look quite worn out. Have you been practising too hard? 3.1 ::BEEN :=Mrs. Linde: wait for you, Nils. It would have been so long before you'd had enough to support 3.1 ::BEEN :=Krogstad: just as though all solid ground had been swept from under my feet. Look at me. 3.1 ::BEEN :=Mrs. Linde: for as long as I can remember; it's been the greatest joy of my life -- my only 3.1 ::BEEN :=Krogstad: I've never been so happy in my life before! 3.2 ::BEEN :=Nora: Have you been sitting here waiting for me? 3.2 ::BEEN :=Nora: Yes, of course, Dr. Rank -- you've been carrying out a scientific experiment 3.2 ::BEEN :=Helmer: He's been drinking too much. 3.3 ::BEEN :=Helmer: I'm not. Hullo, what's this? Someone's been at the lock. 3.3 ::BEEN :=Nora: Then it must have been the children. 3.3 ::BEEN :=Helmer: no sense of duty! Oh, how I have been punished for closing my eyes to his 3.3 ::BEEN :=Helmer: quite easily be suspected of having been an accomplice in your crime. People 3.3 ::BEEN :=Helmer: He wrote that ever since Christmas Eve you've been -- oh, these must have been three 3.3 ::BEEN :=Helmer: Eve you've been -- oh, these must have been three dreadful days for you, N 3.3 ::BEEN :=Nora: Yes. It's been a hard fight. 3.3 ::BEEN :=Helmer: It must have been terrible -- seeing no way out except 3.4 ::BEEN :=Nora: We've been married for eight years. Does it occur 3.4 ::BEEN :=Nora: never understood me. A great wrong has been done to me, Torvald. First by Papa, 3.4 ::BEEN :=Nora: Now I look back on it, it's as if I've been living here like a pauper, from hand 3.4 ::BEEN :=Helmer: and ungrateful? Haven't you been happy here? 3.4 ::BEEN :=Nora: to think I was; but I haven't ever been happy. 3.4 ::BEEN :=Nora: No. I've just had fun. You've always been very kind to me. But our home has never 3.4 ::BEEN :=Nora: kind to me. But our home has never been anything but a playroom. I've been your 3.4 ::BEEN :=Nora: been anything but a playroom. I've been your doll-wife, just as I used to be 3.4 ::BEEN :=Nora: doll-child. And the children have been my dolls. I used to think it was fun 3.4 ::BEEN :=Nora: with them. That's all our marriage has been, Torvald. 3.5 ::BEEN :=Nora: have to say it, because you've always been so kind to me. But I can't help it. 3.5 ::BEEN :=Nora: I realized that for eight years I have been living here with a complete stranger, 1.1 ::BEFORE :=Nora: Helen. The children mustnUt see it before IUve decorated it this evening. How 1.1 ::BEFORE :=Nora: No, Torvald, you mustn't see that before this evening! 1.5 ::BEFORE :=Nora: Mr. Krogstad, one should think twice before offending someone who -- hm -- 1.5 ::BEFORE :=Krogstad: and someone else could have added it before the news came of his death. There's 1.6 ::BEFORE :=Helmer: I must try to get some of this read before dinner. I'll think about your costume 2.2 ::BEFORE :=Helmer: expect me to make a laughing-stock of myself before my entire staff -- give people 2.3 ::BEFORE :=Rank: to myself I would let you know that before I go. I shall never have a better 2.3 ::BEFORE :=Nora: will naturally continue to visit us as before. You know quite well how Torvald depends 2.5 ::BEFORE :=Nora: Yes, no one's to be allowed to see me before tomorrow night. 2.5 ::BEFORE :=Nora: now, at once -- we've still time before dinner. Oh, do sit down and play for 2.5 ::BEFORE :=Helmer: like a child sometimes -- I told you before -- 3.1 ::BEFORE :=Mrs. Linde: you, Nils. It would have been so long before you'd had enough to support us. 3.1 ::BEFORE :=Krogstad: I've never been so happy in my life before! 3.3 ::BEFORE :=Helmer: appear to be living together just as before. Only appear, of course. You will 3.3 ::BEFORE :=Helmer: Soon everything will be as it was before. I shall no longer need to remind 3.5 ::BEFORE :=Nora: I was your little songbird just as before -- your doll whom henceforth you would 1.3 ::BEG :=Rank: and have a word with your wife. Oh, I beg your pardon. I seem to be de trop here 1.5 ::BEG :=Krogstad: I beg your pardon; the front door was ajar. 2.2 ::BEG :=Nora: Yes, Torvald -- oh, please! I beg of you! 2.5 ::BEG :=Nora: Torvald, I beg you. There's nothing there. 2.3 ::BEGIN :=Rank: the final disintegration is likely to begin. I want to ask you a favour. Helmer's 3.2 ::BEGINNING :=Helmer: Listen! Now the other guests are beginning to go. Nora -- soon the whole house 3.3 ::BEGINNING :=Nora: Yes. Now I am beginning to understand. 2.3 ::BEGUN :=Rank: know that the final filthy process has begun. 1.5 ::BEHALF :=Krogstad: kindness to use your influence on my behalf? 3.5 ::BEHAVE :=Helmer: unheard of for so young a woman to behave like this! If religion cannot guide 2.5 ::BEHAVING :=Helmer: Nora, I can tell from the way you're behaving, there's a letter from him already 2.1 ::BEHIND :=Mrs. Linde: Behind your husband's back? 2.1 ::BEHIND :=Nora: business; and that's been going on behind his back. I've got to get out of 2.3 ::BEHIND :=Rank: the most wretched token of gratitude behind; hardly even a passing sense of loss; 3.3 ::BEHIND :=Helmer: crime. People may think that I was behind it -- that it was I who encouraged 1.2 ::BEING :=Nora: Yes, isn't it? Being a lawyer is so uncertain, you know, 1.3 ::BEING :=Nora: And besides -- he's so proud of being a man -- it'd be so painful and humiliating 1.3 ::BEING :=Nora: and earning money. It was almost like being a man. 1.3 ::BEING :=Rank: Is that an approved remedy for being run down? 1.3 ::BEING :=Rank: sometimes feel, I still want to go on being tortured for as long as possible. It's 1.3 ::BEING :=Rank: world you too have a species of human being that spends its time fussing around 1.5 ::BEING :=Krogstad: also realize whom I have to thank for being hounded out like this. 1.5 ::BEING :=Krogstad: didn't it occur to you that you were being dishonest towards me? 2.1 ::BEING :=Nora: You're being awfully sweet. 2.2 ::BEING :=Helmer: Really, you're being incredibly obstinate. Just because 2.3 ::BEING :=Nora: Really, you're being quite impossible this evening. And 2.3 ::BEING :=Nora: I shan't show you anything else. You're being naughty. 2.3 ::BEING :=Rank: When I sit here like this being so intimate with you, I can't think 2.3 ::BEING :=Nora: Yes, I think you enjoy being with us, don't you? 3.1 ::BEING :=Krogstad: I don't believe all that. You're just being hysterical and romantic. You want to 3.2 ::BEING :=Mrs. Linde: Well, good night, Nora. And stop being stubborn. Remember! 3.2 ::BEING :=Helmer: talking just like a real big human being. I say, did you notice how cheerful 3.3 ::BEING :=Helmer: Stop being theatrical. You're going to stay here 3.4 ::BEING :=Nora: you're not the man to educate me into being the right wife for you. 3.5 ::BEING :=Nora: that I am first and foremost a human being, like you -- or anyway, that I must 1.2 ::BELIEVE :=Nora: Would you believe it -- my husband's just been made 1.2 ::BELIEVE :=Mrs. Linde: Quite comfortably off, I believe. But his business was unsound, you 1.3 ::BELIEVE :=Nora: He was very unhappily married, I believe. 1.3 ::BELIEVE :=Rank: I have often heard in this house. I believe I passed you on the stairs as I came 1.5 ::BELIEVE :=Nora: You? Do you expect me to believe that you would have taken a risk 1.5 ::BELIEVE :=Nora: I don't believe that. Hasn't a daughter the right 1.6 ::BELIEVE :=Nora: Do you really believe that? 2.2 ::BELIEVE :=Nora: The most frightful slanders. I really believe it would have lost him his job if 2.2 ::BELIEVE :=Helmer: the idea that I am open to outside influence? Believe me, I'd soon feel the 2.3 ::BELIEVE :=Nora: Do you believe that? 2.5 ::BELIEVE :=Mrs. Linde: Oh, believe me, Nora, it'll be best for you 3.1 ::BELIEVE :=Mrs. Linde: Oh, Nils, did you really believe that? 3.1 ::BELIEVE :=Krogstad: I believe you, since you say so. But now you 3.1 ::BELIEVE :=Mrs. Linde: a useful lesson. But surely you still believe in actions? 3.1 ::BELIEVE :=Krogstad: I don't believe all that. You're just being hysterical 3.1 ::BELIEVE :=Mrs. Linde: And you and I need each other. I believe in you, Nils. I am afraid of nothing 3.1 ::BELIEVE :=Krogstad: thank you! Now I shall make the world believe in me as you do! Oh -- but I'd forgotten 3.2 ::BELIEVE :=Helmer: to be done about that? Would you believe it, I practically had to use force 3.3 ::BELIEVE :=Helmer: little Nora, I understand. You can't believe that I have forgiven you. But I have, 3.3 ::BELIEVE :=Helmer: it will take time, but it will happen, believe me. Tomorrow all this will seem quite 3.5 ::BELIEVE :=Nora: I don't believe that any longer. I believe that I 3.5 ::BELIEVE :=Nora: I don't believe that any longer. I believe that I am first and foremost a human 3.5 ::BELIEVE :=Nora: or save her husband's life? I can't believe that. 3.5 ::BELIEVE :=Helmer: you're ill; you're feverish. I almost believe you're out of your mind. 3.5 ::BELIEVE :=Nora: so much that -- oh, Torvald, I don't believe in miracles any longer. 3.5 ::BELIEVE :=Helmer: But I want to believe in them. Tell me. We should have 2.5 ::BELIEVED :=Helmer: I'd never have believed it. You've forgotten everything 3.2 ::BELONG :=Helmer: Oh, already? Does this knitting belong to you? 1.1 ::BELOVED :=Helmer: you've given me your word -- Well, my beloved Nora, you keep your little Christmas 1.3 ::BELOVED :=Nora: possess is to be paid forthwith to my beloved Mrs. Nora Helmer in cash." 3.2 ::BELOVED :=Helmer: Yes, my beloved Nora, of course you do! Do you know 3.3 ::BELOVED :=Helmer: Now we have only each other. Oh, my beloved wife -- I feel as though I could 1.5 ::BELOW :=Krogstad: Good. I was sitting in the cafe down below and I saw your husband cross the street 1.3 ::BESIDES :=Nora: strict about such matters. And besides -- he's so proud of being a man -- 2.2 ::BESIDES :=Helmer: Believe me, I'd soon feel the consequences! Besides -- there's something 1.1 ::BEST :=Nora: about what I need most. Isn't that the best way? Mm? 1.2 ::BEST :=Nora: come because anyone's ill. He's our best friend, and he looks us up at least 1.3 ::BEST :=Nora: little here and save a little there as best I can. I haven't been able to save much 2.3 ::BEST :=Nora: Oh, yes, more than anyone. You're my best and truest friend. Otherwise I couldn't 2.3 ::BEST :=Nora: I was at home, of course I loved Papa best. But I always used to think it was terribly 2.4 ::BEST :=Nora: stop it, Mr. Krogstad. I did my best for you, but it didn't help. 2.5 ::BEST :=Mrs. Linde: Well, I've done the best I can. Shall we see how it looks -- 2.5 ::BEST :=Mrs. Linde: Oh, believe me, Nora, it'll be best for you both. 3.2 ::BEST :=Rank: The best possible finding -- both for the doctor 3.3 ::BEST :=Nora: When the time comes, it's best to go silently. Don't you think so, 3.3 ::BEST :=Helmer: of our marriage. Well, perhaps it's best this way. For him, anyway. And perhaps 1.3 ::BET :=Nora: Oh, really, Dr. Rank. I bet you want to stay alive. 1.3 ::BET :=Rank: You bet I do. However miserable I sometimes feel, 1.1 ::BETTER :=Nora: Anne-Marie ought to have had something better, really. 1.2 ::BETTER :=Nora: finished already. It'd be much better for you if you could go away some 1.3 ::BETTER :=Mrs. Linde: You've a visitor. Perhaps I'd better go. 1.3 ::BETTER :=Rank: Well, then, you'd better not. But you can say it to us. What 1.5 ::BETTER :=Krogstad: about financial transactions. I had better enlighten you. 2.3 ::BETTER :=Rank: The more the better. I've no idea what it can be. But 2.3 ::BETTER :=Rank: that before I go. I shall never have a better opportunity . . . Well, Nora, now 2.4 ::BETTER :=Krogstad: matter hushed up, I presume you're better informed than you were yesterday of 2.5 ::BETTER :=Rank: Better give her her way. 3.1 ::BETTER :=Krogstad: woman chucking a man because something better turns up? 3.1 ::BETTER :=Mrs. Linde: Castaways have a better chance of survival together than on 3.5 ::BETTER :=Nora: to see the children. I know they're in better hands than mine. As I am now, I can 3.5 ::BETTER :=Nora: to do with the house -- much better than I do. Tomorrow, when I have left 2.2 ::BETWEEN :=Helmer: there's a considerable difference between your father and me. Your father was 2.5 ::BETWEEN :=Nora: I don't want anything ugly to come between us till it's all over. 3.1 ::BETWEEN :=Krogstad: was near. But then you came, and stood between it and me. 3.2 ::BETWEEN :=Helmer: nobody knows there's anything at all between us. 3.3 ::BETWEEN :=Helmer: upset us both. An ugliness has come between us; thoughts of death and dissolution. 3.5 ::BETWEEN :=Helmer: it, I see it. A gulf has indeed opened between us. Oh, but Nora -- couldn't it be 3.5 ::BETWEEN :=Nora: That life together between us two could become a marriage. 3.3 ::BEWILDERED :=Helmer: you shall be to me, my poor, helpless, bewildered little creature. Never be frightened 1.1 ::BIG :=Nora: we? Just a tiny bit? YouUve got a big salary now, and youUre going to make 1.2 ::BIG :=Nora: the New Year, and he'll be getting a big salary, and lots of percentages too. 1.2 ::BIG :=Nora: -- that! I haven't told you about the big thing. 1.2 ::BIG :=Mrs. Linde: What big thing? What do you mean? 1.3 ::BIG :=Nora: come. Well, what do you think of my big secret, Christine? I'm not completely 1.3 ::BIG :=Nora: when they opened his will it said in big letters: "Everything I possess is to 1.4 ::BIG :=Nora: some hot coffee on the stove. What? A big dog ran after you? But he didn't bite 2.3 ::BIG :=Rank: Ah, so that's your big secret? 3.2 ::BIG :=Helmer: songbird's talking just like a real big human being. I say, did you notice how 3.2 ::BIG :=Helmer: Scientific experiment! Those are big words for my little Nora to use! 3.2 ::BIG :=Rank: There's a big, black hat -- haven't you heard of the 1.5 ::BIGGER :=Krogstad: But I can assure you that it is no bigger nor worse a crime than the one I once 1.1 ::BIRD :=Helmer: What's the name of that little bird that can never keep any money? 1.1 ::BIT :=Nora: extravagant now. CanUt we? Just a tiny bit? YouUve got a big salary now, and youUre 1.2 ::BIT :=Nora: though, Christine. And perhaps a bit thinner. 1.2 ::BIT :=Nora: perhaps a little older. Just a tiny bit. Not much. Oh, but how thoughtless of 1.3 ::BIT :=Nora: never noticed. But it made me a bit sad sometimes, because it's lovely to 1.4 ::BIT :=Mrs. Linde: Yes, quite a bit. 2.1 ::BIT :=Mrs. Linde: many ways you're still a child; I'm a bit older than you and have a little more 2.2 ::BIT :=Helmer: you this anxiety. Though it is a bit of an insult to me. Oh, but it is! Isn't 2.3 ::BIT :=Nora: soles. Oh well, I suppose you can look a bit higher if you want to. 2.3 ::BIT :=Nora: in his study -- keep him talking for a bit -- 3.2 ::BIT :=Helmer: Not a bit. On the contrary, I feel extraordinarily 1.4 ::BITE :=Nora: A big dog ran after you? But he didn't bite you? No, dogs don't bite lovely little 1.4 ::BITE :=Nora: But he didn't bite you? No, dogs don't bite lovely little baby dolls. Leave those 1.1 ::BITS :=Nora: pull them apart in a few day. And some bits of material and handkerchiefs for the 1.1 ::BITS :=Nora: getting in and tearing everything into bits? 1.2 ::BITS :=Mrs. Linde: Well, good heavens -- those bits of fancy work of yours -- well, really 1.2 ::BITTER :=Mrs. Linde: kind of situation -- it makes one so bitter. One has no one to work for; and yet 2.3 ::BLACK :=Rank: I'll send you my visiting card with a black cross on it, and then you'll know that 2.4 ::BLACK :=Krogstad: Under the ice? Down in the cold, black water? And then, in the spring, to 3.2 ::BLACK :=Rank: There's a big, black hat -- haven't you heard of the invisible 3.2 ::BLACK :=Rank: Helmer, give me a cigar. One of your black Havanas. 3.3 ::BLACK :=Helmer: There's a black cross above his name. Look. Rather 3.3 ::BLACK :=Nora: Them too. Never. Never. Oh -- the icy black water! Oh -- that bottomless -- that 2.5 ::BLAME :=Nora: If anyone should try to take the blame, and say it was all his fault -- you 3.5 ::BLAME :=Nora: would step forward and take all the blame on yourself, and say: "I am the one 1.5 ::BLANK :=Krogstad: I left the date blank for your father to fill in when he 3.2 ::BLESS :=Helmer: so. But dreadfully stubborn she is, bless her pretty little heart. What's to 3.5 ::BLIND :=Helmer: But you're blind! You've no experience of the world 1.1 ::BLOOD :=Helmer: must take you as you are. It's in your blood. Yes, yes, yes, these things are hereditary, 3.2 ::BLOOD :=Helmer: You've still the tarantella in your blood, I see. And that makes you even more 3.2 ::BLOOD :=Helmer: like a huntress, a temptress, my blood grew hot, I couldn't stand it any longer! 3.3 ::BLOOD :=Helmer: so that I could offer my life and my blood, everything, for your sake. 1.3 ::BLOODY :=Nora: the most extraordinary longing to say: "Bloody hell!" 1.3 ::BLUE :=Nora: and the air'll be fresh and the skies blue, -- and then perhaps we'll be able to 1.1 ::BOB :=Nora: a sword. And a horse and trumpet for Bob. And a doll and a cradle for Emmy -- 1.4 ::BOB :=Nora: That's splendid. You gave Emmy and Bob a ride on the sledge? What, both together? 1.4 ::BOB :=Nora: doll! Yes, yes, Mummy will dance with Bob too. What? Have you been throwing snowballs? 1.4 ::BOB :=Nora: seek. Yes, let's play hide and seek. Bob shall hide first. You want me to? All 2.3 ::BODY :=Rank: going through the books of this poor body of mine, and I find I am bankrupt. Within 2.3 ::BODY :=Rank: you know that I am ready to serve you, body and soul. So -- please continue. 1.5 ::BOLD :=Krogstad: Might I be so bold as to ask: was not that lady a Mrs. 1.5 ::BOLD :=Krogstad: You're a bold woman, Mrs. Helmer. 2.3 ::BOOKS :=Rank: few days I've been going through the books of this poor body of mine, and I find 3.5 ::BOOKS :=Nora: something of the sort to be found in books. But I'm no longer prepared to accept 3.5 ::BOOKS :=Nora: what people say and what's written in books. I must think things our for myself, 1.1 ::BORE :=Nora: the doorbell. Someone's coming. What a bore. 1.3 ::BORE :=Nora: But what does it matter? The old bore can stay imaginary as far as I'm concerned, 1.3 ::BORE :=Nora: I care about society? I think it's a bore. I was laughing at something else -- 3.2 ::BORE :=Helmer: we've got rid of her at last. Dreadful bore that woman is! 1.1 ::BORED :=Helmer: I don't have to sit by myself and be bored. And you don't have to tire your pretty 1.1 ::BORING :=Helmer: surprise us with. Ugh, it was the most boring time I've every had in my life. 1.1 ::BORING :=Nora: I didn't find it boring. 1.3 ::BORING :=Nora: let's talk about business. It's so boring. 3.5 ::BORN :=Nora: go home -- I mean, to where I was born. It'll be easiest for me to find some 3.5 ::BORNE :=Nora: with a complete stranger, and have borne him three children -- ! Oh, I can't 1.1 ::BORROW :=Nora: Pooh; we can borrow till then. 1.1 ::BORROW :=Helmer: spendthrift you are! Suppose I were to borrow fifty pounds today, and you spent 1.1 ::BORROW :=Helmer: how I feel about this. No debts! Never borrow! A home that is founded on debts can 1.3 ::BORROW :=Mrs. Linde: Well, a wife can't borrow money without her husband's conse 1.3 ::BORROW :=Nora: then I suggested he might quite easily borrow the money. But then he got almost 1.5 ::BORROW :=Krogstad: husband was ill, you came to me to borrow two hundred and fifty pounds. 1.1 ::BORROWED :=Helmer: But what about the people I'd borrowed from? 1.3 ::BORROWED :=Mrs. Linde: You couldn't have borrowed it. 1.3 ::BORROWED :=Nora: You don't have to. No one has said I borrowed the money. I could have got it in 2.1 ::BOSH :=Nora: Oh, bosh. When you've completely repaid a debt, 1.2 ::BOTH :=Nora: position for me to waste money. We've both had to work. 1.2 ::BOTH :=Mrs. Linde: anyone, Nora. But you're right -- I am both proud and happy that I was able to make 1.4 ::BOTH :=Nora: and Bob a ride on the sledge? What, both together? I say! What a clever boy you 2.2 ::BOTH :=Helmer: man enough to bear the burden for us both. 2.3 ::BOTH :=Rank: You and Helmer both will, when I am gone. You seem to have 2.5 ::BOTH :=Mrs. Linde: me, Nora, it'll be best for you both. 3.2 ::BOTH :=Rank: The best possible finding -- both for the doctor and the patient. Cer 3.3 ::BOTH :=Helmer: You're right. This news has upset us both. An ugliness has come between us; thoughts 3.3 ::BOTH :=Helmer: dare to. This may mean the end for us both. No. I must know. Nora! Nora! No -- 3.3 ::BOTH :=Helmer: You too, of course. We're both saved, you and I. Look! He's returning 3.3 ::BOTH :=Helmer: Just open your heart to me. I shall be both your will and your conscience. What's 3.4 ::BOTH :=Nora: know -- I think it was a little of both -- first one and then the other. Now 3.4 ::BOTH :=Helmer: Both yours and the children's, my dearest 3.5 ::BOTH :=Helmer: But you are my wife, both as you are and as you will be. 3.5 ::BOTH :=Nora: I shall not feel bound to you. We must both be quite free. Here is your ring back. 1.2 ::BOTHER :=Mrs. Linde: It's sweet of you to bother so much about me, Nora. Especially 1.5 ::BOTHER :=Nora: I couldn't bother about that. I didn't care about you. 1.5 ::BOTHERED :=Krogstad: take him abroad that I don't think you bothered much about the details. So it won't 2.5 ::BOTHERED :=Nora: You needn't have bothered. You can't stop anything now. Anyway, 3.3 ::BOTTOM :=Helmer: -- forgiven her unreservedly, from the bottom of his heart. It means that she has 3.4 ::BOTTOM :=Nora: down seriously to try to get to the bottom of anything. 3.3 ::BOTTOMLESS :=Nora: Oh -- the icy black water! Oh -- that bottomless -- that -- ! Oh, it only it were 1.1 ::BOUGHT :=Nora: out here, Torvald, and see what IUve bought. 1.1 ::BOUGHT :=Helmer: You mustnUt disturb me! Bought, did you say? All that? Has my little 1.1 ::BOUGHT :=Nora: I want to show you everything I've bought. And so cheaply! Look, here are new 1.3 ::BOUGHT :=Nora: more than half of it; and I always bought what was the cheapest and plainest. 3.5 ::BOUND :=Nora: any such obligations. You mustn't feel bound to me in any way, however small, just 3.5 ::BOUND :=Nora: small, just as I shall not feel bound to you. We must both be quite free. 2.5 ::BOX :=Nora: now. The letter's lying there in the box. 2.5 ::BOX :=Nora: But Torvald always opens the box at just about this time -- 3.1 ::BOX :=Mrs. Linde: can. Your letter is still lying in the box. 1.6 ::BOXING :=Nora: fancy dress ball at the Stenborgs on Boxing Day. 1.4 ::BOY :=Nora: both together? I say! What a clever boy you are, Ivar! Oh, let me hold her for 1.2 ::BOYS :=Mrs. Linde: any more; she's passed away. And the boys don't need me either; they've got jobs 1.2 ::BRAVE :=Nora: to town? All that way in winter! How brave of you! 1.1 ::BRAVELY :=Helmer: and beauty. We two have stuck it out bravely up to now; and we shall continue 3.1 ::BREAK :=Mrs. Linde: I had to. Since I had to break with you, I thought it my duty to destroy 3.3 ::BREAK :=Helmer: Well, you'll have to break them of that habit. Hm, hm. Ah, that's 1.6 ::BREATH :=Helmer: every corner of the home. Every breath that the children draw in such a house 3.2 ::BRIDE :=Helmer: to myself that you are my young bride, that we've just come from the wedding, 3.5 ::BRIDGED :=Helmer: us. Oh, but Nora -- couldn't it be bridged? 2.2 ::BRIGHT :=Helmer: Yes, that was quite a bright idea of mine, wasn't it? 1.1 ::BRING :=Nora: Oh, are you going to bring that up again? How could I help the 1.6 ::BRING :=Nora: away, my darlings, go away. No! Helen! Bring in the Christmas tree! No, but it's 2.2 ::BRING :=Helmer: Have you really the nerve to bring that up again? 2.3 ::BRING :=Nora: Helen, bring the lamp. Oh, dear Dr. Rank, this was 3.1 ::BRING :=Mrs. Linde: to work for -- to live for! A home to bring joy into! I won't let this chance of 3.3 ::BRING :=Helmer: true. Do you really think I could ever bring myself to disown you, or even to reproach 3.3 ::BROAD :=Helmer: songbird. Don't be afraid. I have broad wings to shield you. How lovely and 3.3 ::BROKEN :=Helmer: ? Surely not one of the maids? Here's a broken hairpin. Nora, it's yours -- 3.5 ::BROTHER :=Helmer: But we can't live as brother and sister, then -- ? 1.2 ::BROTHERS :=Mrs. Linde: and bedridden. And I had my two little brothers to take care of. I didn't feel I 1.2 ::BROTHERS :=Nora: proud of what you've done for your brothers. 3.1 ::BROTHERS :=Mrs. Linde: mother to take care of, and two little brothers. We couldn't wait for you, Nils. 1.5 ::BROUGHT :=Krogstad: once; for within five or six days you brought it along to me with your father's 3.3 ::BROUGHT :=Helmer: in a double sense; he has, as it were, brought her into the world anew; she is now 3.5 ::BROUGHT :=Nora: will come to pack the things I brought here from home. I'll have them sent 2.1 ::BRUSH :=Nora: come. I just mustn't think about it. Brush this muff. Pretty gloves, pretty gloves! 1.6 ::BUILDING :=Helmer: impossible for me to work in the same building as him. I literally feel physically 1.3 ::BUILT :=Nora: our relationship. This life we have built together would no longer exist. 1.5 ::BUMPING :=Krogstad: very pleasant for your friend to risk bumping into me; and now I also realize whom 2.2 ::BURDEN :=Helmer: courage. I am man enough to bear the burden for us both. 2.2 ::BURDEN :=Helmer: The whole burden, I say -- 2.1 ::BURN :=Nora: can tear it into a thousand pieces and burn the filthy, beastly thing! 1.5 ::BUSH :=Krogstad: Look, let's not beat about the bush. There's still time, and I'd advise 1.2 ::BUSINESS :=Mrs. Linde: comfortably off, I believe. But his business was unsound, you see, Nora. When 1.3 ::BUSINESS :=Nora: Ah, but when a wife has a little business sense, and knows how to be clever 1.3 ::BUSINESS :=Nora: case you don't know, in the world of business there are things called quarterly 1.3 ::BUSINESS :=Krogstad: Business -- you might call it. I hold a minor 1.3 ::BUSINESS :=Krogstad: Pure business, Mrs. Helmer. Nothing more. 1.3 ::BUSINESS :=Nora: don't know. But don't let's talk about business. It's so boring. 1.5 ::BUSINESS :=Krogstad: me. So I turned my hand to the kind of business you know about. I had to do something; 1.5 ::BUSINESS :=Krogstad: Possibly not. But business, the kind of business we two have 1.5 ::BUSINESS :=Krogstad: Possibly not. But business, the kind of business we two have been transacting -- 2.1 ::BUSINESS :=Mrs. Linde: say to you. You ought to give up this business with Dr. Rank. 2.1 ::BUSINESS :=Nora: What business? 2.1 ::BUSINESS :=Nora: I've got to get out of this other business; and that's been going on behind 2.2 ::BUSINESS :=Helmer: Nora, it isn't that business you were talking about this mor 2.4 ::BUSINESS :=Krogstad: tell you, you don't need to take this business too seriously. I'm not going to 2.5 ::BUSINESS :=Nora: me this evening. You mustn't think of business -- I won't even let you touch 3.2 ::BUSINESS :=Helmer: But knitting, now -- that's an ugly business -- can't help it. Look -- arms all 3.3 ::BUSINESS :=Helmer: look at it. I shall merely regard the whole business as a dream. There. Now they're 3.3 ::BUSINESS :=Helmer: -- no, we'll forget the whole sordid business. We'll just be happy and go on telling 1.6 ::BUSY :=Nora: Are you very busy, Torvald? 1.6 ::BUSY :=Nora: If you hadn't been so busy, I was going to ask you an enormous 2.3 ::BUSY :=Nora: go in to Torvald yet. I think he's busy. 1.1 ::BUT :=Helmer: Next year, yes. But my new salary doesnUt start till Apr 1.1 ::BUT :=Helmer: Yes, but suppose something like that did happen? 1.1 ::BUT :=Helmer: But what about the people I'd borrowed f 1.1 ::BUT :=Helmer: Oh, Nora, Nora, how like a woman! No, but seriously, Nora, you know how I feel 1.1 ::BUT :=Nora: Yes, yes, of course I will. But come over here, I want to show you everything 1.1 ::BUT :=Nora: for Emmy -- they're nothing much, but she'll pull them apart in a few day. 1.1 ::BUT :=Helmer: Very well. But now, tell me, you little spendthrift, 1.1 ::BUT :=Helmer: But, Nora -- 1.1 ::BUT :=Nora: Yes, yes, squanderbird; I know. But let's do as I say, Torvald; then I'll 1.1 ::BUT :=Helmer: really buy yourself something with it. But you'll spend it on all sorts of useless 1.1 ::BUT :=Nora: Oh, but Torvald -- 1.1 ::BUT :=Helmer: a pretty little creature, but she gets through an awful lot of money. 1.1 ::BUT :=Helmer: That's quite true. Every penny you can. But you can't. 1.1 ::BUT :=Helmer: look-out for some way to get money, but as soon as you have any it just runs 1.1 ::BUT :=Helmer: No. But there's no need; he knows he'll be dining 1.1 ::BUT :=Helmer: But it all came to nothing in the end, didn't 1.1 ::BUT :=Helmer: us happy, and that's all that matters. But it's good that those hard times are 1.2 ::BUT :=Nora: Christine! And I didn't recognize you! But how could I -- ? How you've changed, 1.2 ::BUT :=Nora: how splendid! We'll have to celebrate! But take off you coat. You're not cold, are 1.2 ::BUT :=Nora: older. Just a tiny bit. Not much. Oh, but how thoughtless of me to sit here and 1.2 ::BUT :=Nora: to write to you so often, honestly. But I always put it off, and something else 1.2 ::BUT :=Nora: But, Christine, how is that possible? 1.2 ::BUT :=Nora: now, because they're out with nanny. But you must tell me everything -- 1.2 ::BUT :=Nora: I'm just going to think about you. Oh, but there's one thing I must tell you. Have 1.2 ::BUT :=Nora: Yes, Torvald still says that. But "Nora, Nora" isn't as silly as you think. 1.2 ::BUT :=Nora: and of course he needed more money. But the first year he overworked himself 1.2 ::BUT :=Nora: extra jobs, and worked day and night. But it was too much for him, and he became 1.2 ::BUT :=Nora: get away, you know. I'd just had Ivar. But of course we had to do it. Oh, it was 1.2 ::BUT :=Nora: trip! And it saved Torvald's life. But it cost an awful lot of money, Chris 1.2 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: I know you were very fond of him. But you went to Italy -- ? 1.2 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: But -- the doctor? 1.2 ::BUT :=Nora: Oh yes, that's Doctor Rank, but he doesn't come because anyone's ill. 1.2 ::BUT :=Nora: thing to be alive and happy! Oh, but how beastly of me! I'm only talking about 1.2 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: Quite comfortably off, I believe. But his business was unsound, you see, Nora. 1.2 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: slog for me, without a moment's rest. But now it's over, Nora. My poor dear mother 1.2 ::BUT :=Nora: Oh but, Christine, that's dreadfully exhausting; 1.2 ::BUT :=Nora: You patronise me, Christine; but you shouldn't. You're proud that you've 1.2 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: I don't patronise anyone, Nora. But you're right -- I am both proud and happy 1.2 ::BUT :=Nora: I think so too. But let me tell you something, Christine. 1.2 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: I don't doubt it. But -- how do you mean? 1.2 ::BUT :=Nora: no one must know, Christine -- no one but you. 1.2 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: But what is this? 1.3 ::BUT :=Nora: So Torvald and everyone else thinks. But -- 1.3 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: But Nora, how could you? Did you win a lottery 1.3 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: But where did you get it from, then? 1.3 ::BUT :=Nora: Ah, but when a wife has a little business sense, 1.3 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: But Nora, I simply don't understand -- 1.3 ::BUT :=Nora: But the whole point was that he mustn't know! 1.3 ::BUT :=Nora: might quite easily borrow the money. But then he got almost angry with me, Christine. 1.3 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: But didn't your husband find out from your 1.3 ::BUT :=Nora: the plot and asking him not to tell. But since he was so ill -- ! And as things 1.3 ::BUT :=Nora: me, so that Torvald's never noticed. But it made me a bit sad sometimes, because 1.3 ::BUT :=Nora: Oh, I often got so tired, so tired. But it was great fun, though, sitting there 1.3 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: But how much have you managed to pay off 1.3 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: But, Nora dear, who was this gentleman? 1.3 ::BUT :=Nora: how on earth I could raise some money. But what does it matter? The old bore can 1.3 ::BUT :=Maid: says he wants to speak to the master. But I didn't know -- seeing as the doctor's 1.3 ::BUT :=Nora: quite possible -- I really don't know. But don't let's talk about business. It's 1.3 ::BUT :=Rank: crippled all right; morally twisted. But even he started off by announcing, as 1.3 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: But surely it's the sick who need care m 1.3 ::BUT :=Nora: He's afraid they'll ruin my teeth. But, dash it -- for once -- ! Don't you agree, 1.3 ::BUT :=Rank: Well, then, you'd better not. But you can say it to us. What is it you'd 1.4 ::BUT :=Helmer: Christine -- ? Forgive me, but I don't think -- 1.4 ::BUT :=Helmer: There's absolutely no need. But now I'm afraid I must ask you to excuse 1.4 ::BUT :=Nora: stove. What? A big dog ran after you? But he didn't bite you? No, dogs don't bite 1.5 ::BUT :=Nora: Today? But it's not the first of the month yet. 1.5 ::BUT :=Nora: Yes, she is. But I still don't see -- 1.5 ::BUT :=Nora: You, one of my husband's employees? But since you ask, you shall have an answer. 1.5 ::BUT :=Nora: But I assure you -- 1.5 ::BUT :=Nora: But, Mr. Krogstad, I have no influence! 1.5 ::BUT :=Nora: But I didn't mean it like that! I? How on 1.5 ::BUT :=Krogstad: It never came into court; but from that day, every opening was barred 1.5 ::BUT :=Krogstad: I don't think I was one of the worst. But now I want to give up all that. My sons 1.5 ::BUT :=Nora: But my dear Mr. Krogstad, it simply isn't 1.5 ::BUT :=Krogstad: because you don't want to help me. But I have the means to make you. 1.5 ::BUT :=Krogstad: Exactly. But then I added a few lines naming your 1.5 ::BUT :=Krogstad: Mm -- yes, more or less. But to return to what we were speaking about 1.5 ::BUT :=Krogstad: died on the twenty-ninth of September. But look at this. Here your father has dated 1.5 ::BUT :=Krogstad: in a hand which is not your father's, but which I seem to know. Well, there's a 1.5 ::BUT :=Nora: to tell him what the money was for. But I couldn't have told him in his condition 1.5 ::BUT :=Nora: But I couldn't! It was to save my husband's 1.5 ::BUT :=Krogstad: But didn't it occur to you that you were 1.5 ::BUT :=Krogstad: appreciate exactly what you have done. But I can assure you that it is no bigger 1.5 ::BUT :=Nora: life? I don't know much about the law, but there must be something somewhere that 1.5 ::BUT :=Krogstad: Possibly not. But business, the kind of business we two 1.5 ::BUT :=Krogstad: about that? Good. Do as you please. But I tell you this. If I get thrown into 1.5 ::BUT :=Nora: to frighten me! I'm not that stupid. But -- ? No, it's impossible. I did it for 1.6 ::BUT :=Nora: Yes, yes, I know. But don't talk to anyone about the strange 1.6 ::BUT :=Children: Oh but, Mummy, you promised! 1.6 ::BUT :=Nora: I know, but I can't just now. Go back to the nursery. 1.6 ::BUT :=Nora: Bring in the Christmas tree! No, but it's utterly impossible! 1.6 ::BUT :=Nora: Yes, Torvald. But -- 1.6 ::BUT :=Nora: How pretty these red flowers look! But, tell me, is it so dreadful, this thing 1.6 ::BUT :=Helmer: But Krogstad didn't do that. He chose to 2.1 ::BUT :=Nora: it's Christmas Day. Nor tomorrow. But perhaps -- ! No. Nothing in the letter-box. 2.1 ::BUT :=Nora: Christmas presents, poor little dears. But -- 2.1 ::BUT :=Nora: Yes, but, Anne-Marie, from now on I shan't be 2.1 ::BUT :=Nurse: But I had to when I came to nurse my little 2.1 ::BUT :=Nora: But your daughter must have completely forgotten 2.1 ::BUT :=Nurse: Miss Nora, you never had any mother but me. 2.1 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: for a moment to see how you look. Oh, but I've completely forgotten to thank you 2.1 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: your father's daughter for nothing. But, tell me. Is Dr. Rank always in such 2.1 ::BUT :=Nora: No, last night it was very noticeable. But he's got a terrible disease; he's got 2.1 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: But, my dear Nora, how on earth did you get 2.1 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: But, tell me -- is he quite sincere? I mean, 2.1 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: often heard my name mentioned here. But later I noticed your husband had no idea 2.1 ::BUT :=Nora: I stopped talking about them. But I often chat with Dr. Rank about that 2.1 ::BUT :=Nora: who doesn't exist -- unfortunately. But what's that got to do with -- ? 2.1 ::BUT :=Nora: No, no one. But -- 2.1 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: But how dare a man of his education be so 2.1 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: But of course you won't. 2.1 ::BUT :=Nora: that it should ever become necessary. But I'm perfectly sure that if I did speak 2.1 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: that's what I told you yesterday. But -- 2.1 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: Very well. But I shan't leave this house until we've 2.2 ::BUT :=Nora: Wonderful! But wasn't it nice of me to give in to y 2.2 ::BUT :=Helmer: I know you didn't mean it like that. But I won't disturb you. I expect you'll 2.2 ::BUT :=Nora: Yes, that's terribly sweet of you. But you can get rid of one of the other clerks 2.2 ::BUT :=Helmer: But my dear little Nora, there's a considerable 2.2 ::BUT :=Helmer: not a man of unassailable reputation. But I am; and I hope to remain so all my 2.2 ::BUT :=Nora: But no one knows what spiteful people may 2.2 ::BUT :=Helmer: hear he's quite efficient at his job. But we -- well, we were schoolfriends. It 2.2 ::BUT :=Nora: But it's so petty. 2.2 ::BUT :=Helmer: it is a bit of an insult to me. Oh, but it is! Isn't it an insult to imply that 2.2 ::BUT :=Helmer: of a depraved hack journalist? But I forgive you, because it so charmingly 2.3 ::BUT :=Nora: some escape -- ! Some way out -- ! Dr. Rank -- ! Anything but that! Anything, I 2.3 ::BUT :=Nora: Dr. Rank. I recognized your ring. But you mustn't go in to Torvald yet. I think 2.3 ::BUT :=Rank: expecting to happen for a long time. But I didn't think it would happen quite 2.3 ::BUT :=Rank: The facts aren't exactly nice. But the worst is that there's so much else 2.3 ::BUT :=Nora: Oh but, Dr. Rank -- 2.3 ::BUT :=Nora: Aha! But surely you can't be jealous of poor 2.3 ::BUT :=Nora: It's very dark in here now, of course, but tomorrow -- ! No, no, no; only the soles. 2.3 ::BUT :=Nora: But you've no idea what it is. 2.3 ::BUT :=Nora: No, but, Dr. Rank, I can't. It's far too much 2.3 ::BUT :=Rank: better. I've no idea what it can be. But tell me. You do trust me, don't you? 2.3 ::BUT :=Nora: No -- but that you should go and tell me. That 2.3 ::BUT :=Rank: Frankly, no. But perhaps I ought to say -- adieu? 2.3 ::BUT :=Rank: Yes, but you? 2.3 ::BUT :=Nora: at home, of course I loved Papa best. But I always used to think it was terribly 2.3 ::BUT :=Nora: Dr. Rank, I didn't mean that at all. But I'm sure you understand -- I feel the 2.3 ::BUT :=Rank: What? But your costume is lying over there. 2.3 ::BUT :=Nora: Oh -- that, yes -- but there's another -- I ordered it specially 2.4 ::BUT :=Nora: But didn't you tell him I had a visitor? 2.4 ::BUT :=Maid: Yes, but he wouldn't go. 2.4 ::BUT :=Nora: Very well, show him in; but quietly. Helen, you mustn't tell anyone 2.4 ::BUT :=Nora: Mr. Krogstad. I did my best for you, but it didn't help. 2.4 ::BUT :=Krogstad: show him all the respect he deserves. But since you're so anxious to keep this 2.4 ::BUT :=Krogstad: of us think of that at first. I did. But I hadn't the courage -- 2.4 ::BUT :=Nora: But afterwards? When I'm no longer -- ? 2.5 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: But, for heaven's sake -- ! 2.5 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: Yes, yes -- but how can you think -- ? 2.5 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: All right. But I simply don't understand -- 2.5 ::BUT :=Nora: Yes. A miracle. But it's so frightening, Christine. It mustn't 2.5 ::BUT :=Nora: -- ? Oh yes, wait a moment -- ! Here's his card. But the letter, the letter -- 2.5 ::BUT :=Nora: Yes; but it's no use. There's nothing to be done 2.5 ::BUT :=Nora: But Torvald always opens the box at just 2.5 ::BUT :=Helmer: Come on, Rank, now we'll see what -- But what's this? 2.5 ::BUT :=Rank: So I understood. But I seem to have been mistaken. 2.5 ::BUT :=Helmer: But, my dear Nora, you look quite worn out. 2.5 ::BUT :=Nora: Yes, Torvald, I must, I know. But I can't get anywhere without your help. 2.5 ::BUT :=Helmer: This evening I shall think of nothing but you -- my poor, helpless little darling. 2.5 ::BUT :=Helmer: But, Nora darling, you're dancing as if your 2.5 ::BUT :=Nora: You mustn't think about anything but me -- today or tomorrow. Don't open any 2.5 ::BUT :=Nora: I don't know. I think so. But you mustn't read it now. I don't want 2.5 ::BUT :=Helmer: My child shall have her way. But tomorrow night, when your dance is over 3.1 ::BUT :=Krogstad: Maybe. But you had no right to cast me off for someone 3.1 ::BUT :=Krogstad: It was near. But then you came, and stood between it and 3.1 ::BUT :=Krogstad: I believe you, since you say so. But now you know, won't you give it up? 3.1 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: Then itUs taught you a useful lesson. But surely you still believe in actions? 3.1 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: joy of my life -- my only joy. But now I'm alone in the world, and I feel 3.1 ::BUT :=Krogstad: world believe in me as you do! Oh -- but I'd forgotten -- 3.1 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: Quite sure. But -- 3.1 ::BUT :=Krogstad: But -- tell me -- wasn't that the real reason 3.1 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: Yes -- at first, when I was frightened. But a day has passed since then, and in that 3.1 ::BUT :=Krogstad: well. If you're prepared to risk it. But one thing I can do -- and at once -- 3.2 ::BUT :=Helmer: But my dearest Nora -- 3.2 ::BUT :=Helmer: Everyone at the party said so. But dreadfully stubborn she is, bless her 3.2 ::BUT :=Helmer: necessary, strictly speaking. But never mind that. Main thing is -- she 3.2 ::BUT :=Helmer: should always be dramatic, Mrs. Linde. But unfortunately that's just what I can't 3.2 ::BUT :=Mrs. Linde: You've nothing to fear from Krogstad. But you must tell him. 3.2 ::BUT :=Helmer: But knitting, now -- that's an ugly business 3.2 ::BUT :=Helmer: to get home all right? I'd gladly -- but you haven't far to go, have you? Good 3.2 ::BUT :=Helmer: I feel extraordinarily exhilarated. But what about you? Yes, you look very sleepy 3.2 ::BUT :=Helmer: I hardly did. But I haven't seen him in such a jolly mood 3.2 ::BUT :=Nora: -- I know you never think of anything but me. 3.2 ::BUT :=Helmer: evening I've had no eyes for anyone but you. When I saw you dance the tarantella, 3.2 ::BUT :=Helmer: Quite right! Well said! But what are you going to be? Have you decided 3.2 ::BUT :=Rank: But I'm forgetting what I came for. Helmer, 3.3 ::BUT :=Helmer: be seeing him for much longer. But so soon -- ! And now he's going to slink 3.3 ::BUT :=Helmer: unbelievable I can hardly credit it. But we must try to find some way out. Take 3.3 ::BUT :=Helmer: to reside here. That is understood. But the children shall be taken out of your 3.3 ::BUT :=Helmer: believe that I have forgiven you. But I have, Nora. I swear it to you. I have 3.3 ::BUT :=Helmer: you chose the wrong means. But do you think I love you any the less 3.3 ::BUT :=Helmer: will happen, Nora; it will take time, but it will happen, believe me. Tomorrow 3.3 ::BUT :=Helmer: anew; she is now not only his wife but also his child. From now on that is what 3.4 ::BUT :=Helmer: But why now -- so late -- ? 3.4 ::BUT :=Helmer: But, my dear Nora -- 3.4 ::BUT :=Helmer: But, my dear Nora, what on earth has that 3.4 ::BUT :=Helmer: What? But we two have loved you more than anyone 3.4 ::BUT :=Nora: so that I never had any opinions but his. And if I did have any of my own, 3.4 ::BUT :=Nora: you, and you gave me food and drink. But that was how you wanted it. You and Papa 3.4 ::BUT :=Nora: No; never. I used to think I was; but I haven't ever been happy. 3.4 ::BUT :=Nora: You've always been very kind to me. But our home has never been anything but 3.4 ::BUT :=Nora: But our home has never been anything but a playroom. I've been your doll-wife, 3.4 ::BUT :=Helmer: though you exaggerate and romanticize. But from now on it'll be different. Playtime 3.5 ::BUT :=Nora: any more. I shall take with me nothing but what is mine. I don't want anything from 3.5 ::BUT :=Helmer: But you're blind! You've no experience of 3.5 ::BUT :=Helmer: But to leave your home, your husband, your 3.5 ::BUT :=Helmer: But this is monstrous! Can you neglect your 3.5 ::BUT :=Nora: of the sort to be found in books. But I'm no longer prepared to accept what 3.5 ::BUT :=Helmer: But it's unheard of for so young a woman 3.5 ::BUT :=Nora: from what I'd imagined them to be; but I can't accept that such laws can be 3.5 ::BUT :=Nora: No, I don't. But now I intend to learn. I must try to 3.5 ::BUT :=Nora: you've always been so kind to me. But I can't help it. I don't love you any 3.5 ::BUT :=Nora: from you? No, of course I wouldn't! But what would my word have counted for against 3.5 ::BUT :=Helmer: sorrow and hardship for your sake. But no man can be expected to sacrifice his 3.5 ::BUT :=Nora: That may be. But you neither think nor talk like the man 3.5 ::BUT :=Nora: frightened of what might threaten me, but only of what threatened you -- once the 3.5 ::BUT :=Helmer: gulf has indeed opened between us. Oh, but Nora -- couldn't it be bridged? 3.5 ::BUT :=Helmer: But to be parted -- to be parted from you! 3.5 ::BUT :=Helmer: But we can't live as brother and sister, 3.5 ::BUT :=Helmer: But some time, Nora -- some time -- ? 3.5 ::BUT :=Helmer: But you are my wife, both as you are and 3.5 ::BUT :=Helmer: But at least you must let me send you -- 3.5 ::BUT :=Helmer: But if you should need help -- ? 3.5 ::BUT :=Helmer: Nora -- can I never be anything but a stranger to you? 3.5 ::BUT :=Helmer: But I want to believe in them. Tell me. We 1.1 ::BUY :=Nora: feel you can afford; then later I'll buy something with it. 1.1 ::BUY :=Helmer: could keep what I give you and really buy yourself something with it. But you'll 1.3 ::BUY :=Nora: Whenever Torvald gave me money to buy myself new clothes, I never used more 3.3 ::BUY :=Helmer: Take it off, I say! I must try to buy him off somehow. This thing must be hushed 1.1 ::BY :=Helmer: to be any different from what she is. By the way, that reminds me. You look awfully 1.1 ::BY :=Helmer: been indulging herself in town today, by any chance? 1.1 ::BY :=Helmer: I don't have to sit by myself and be bored. And you don't have 1.2 ::BY :=Mrs. Linde: I arrived by the steamer this morning. 1.2 ::BY :=Nora: you? There! Now let's sit down here by the stove and be comfortable. No, you 1.3 ::BY :=Rank: you've come to town to cure yourself by a round of parties? 1.3 ::BY :=Rank: twisted. But even he started off by announcing, as thought it were a matter 1.5 ::BY :=Nora: Yes, Mrs. Linde is to be employed by the bank. And I arranged it, Mr. Krogstad. 1.5 ::BY :=Krogstad: debt. This paragraph was to be signed by your father. 1.5 ::BY :=Krogstad: Tell me, Mrs. Helmer, do you by any chance remember the date of your father's 1.6 ::BY :=Helmer: I want to have everything straight by the New Year. 1.6 ::BY :=Nora: Mightn't he have been forced to do it by some emergency? 2.2 ::BY :=Helmer: to imply that I should be frightened by the vindictiveness of a depraved hack 2.3 ::BY :=Nora: What do you mean by that? As long as you can? 2.3 ::BY :=Rank: only an empty place, to be filled by the next comer. 2.4 ::BY :=Krogstad: was content to fight my way back inch by inch. Now I've been chucked back into 3.2 ::BY :=Helmer: a moment. Well! Nice of you not to go by without looking in. 3.4 ::BY :=Helmer: What do you mean by that? 3.4 ::BY :=Nora: has been done to me, Torvald. First by Papa, and then by you. 3.4 ::BY :=Nora: me, Torvald. First by Papa, and then by you. 3.4 ::BY :=Nora: me with that. It's something I must do by myself. That's why I'm leaving you. 1.5 ::CAFE :=Krogstad: Good. I was sitting in the cafe down below and I saw your husband cross 1.3 ::CALL :=Krogstad: Business -- you might call it. I hold a minor post in the bank, 2.2 ::CALL :=Helmer: Don't quibble! You call my motives petty. Then I must be petty 2.2 ::CALL :=Nora: Call her back, Torvald! There's still time. 2.2 ::CALL :=Nora: There's still time. Oh, Torvald, call her back! Do it for my sake -- for your 3.5 ::CALL :=Nora: What do you call my most sacred duties? 1.2 ::CALLED :=Maid: A lady's called, madam. A stranger. 1.3 ::CALLED :=Nora: and caprices -- I think that's what he called them. Well, well, I thought, you've 1.3 ::CALLED :=Nora: the world of business there are things called quarterly instalments and interest, 1.3 ::CALLED :=Maid: Excuse me, madam, a gentleman's called who says he wants to speak to the 1.3 ::CALLED :=Nora: A lawyer called Krogstad. 1.3 ::CALLED :=Rank: Oh, a lawyer fellow called Krogstad -- you wouldn't know him. 3.4 ::CALLED :=Nora: because he wouldn't have like them. He called me his little doll, and he played 3.3 ::CALM :=Helmer: Yes, do that. Try to calm yourself and get your balance again, 1.1 ::CAME :=Helmer: But it all came to nothing in the end, didn't it? 1.2 ::CAME :=Mrs. Linde: And your husband came back completely cured? 1.3 ::CAME :=Rank: I passed you on the stairs as I came up. 1.4 ::CAME :=Nora: -- it was in her local paper -- she came her as quickly as she could and -- Torvald, 1.5 ::CAME :=Krogstad: It never came into court; but from that day, every 1.5 ::CAME :=Krogstad: When your husband was ill, you came to me to borrow two hundred and fifty 1.5 ::CAME :=Krogstad: could have added it before the news came of his death. There's nothing criminal 2.1 ::CAME :=Nurse: But I had to when I came to nurse my little Miss Nora. 2.4 ::CAME :=Maid: Yes, madam, he came up the back way -- 3.1 ::CAME :=Krogstad: It was near. But then you came, and stood between it and me. 3.1 ::CAME :=Mrs. Linde: Why do you suppose I came to this town? 3.1 ::CAME :=Krogstad: You mean -- you came because of me? 3.2 ::CAME :=Rank: But I'm forgetting what I came for. Helmer, give me a cigar. One of 3.4 ::CAME :=Nora: the way I played with my dolls. Then I came here to live in your house -- 3.4 ::CAME :=Nora: I used to think it was fun when you came in and played with me, just as they 1.1 ::CAN :=Nora: Oh, Torvald, surely we can let ourselves go a little this year! 1.1 ::CAN :=Nora: Oh yes, Torvald, we can be a little extravagant now. CanUt we? 1.1 ::CAN :=Nora: Pooh; we can borrow till then. 1.1 ::CAN :=Helmer: A home that is founded on debts can never be a place of freedom and beauty. 1.1 ::CAN :=Nora: Torvald. Only as much as you feel you can afford; then later I'll buy something 1.1 ::CAN :=Helmer: the name of that little bird that can never keep any money? 1.1 ::CAN :=Nora: For shame! How can you say such a thing? I save every penny 1.1 ::CAN :=Nora: say such a thing? I save every penny I can. 1.1 ::CAN :=Helmer: That's quite true. Every penny you can. But you can't. 1.1 ::CAN :=Nora: No, how can you think such a thing? 1.2 ::CAN :=Nora: away like this! Dear, sweet Christine, can you forgive me? 1.2 ::CAN :=Nora: and I'm absolutely with him. Oh, you can imagine how happy we are! He's joining 1.2 ::CAN :=Mrs. Linde: I can imagine. 1.2 ::CAN :=Mrs. Linde: me either; they've got jobs now and can look after themselves. 1.2 ::CAN :=Mrs. Linde: just had with Torvald's new job -- can you imagine? -- I was happy not so much 1.3 ::CAN :=Nora: here and save a little there as best I can. I haven't been able to save much on 1.3 ::CAN :=Nora: But what does it matter? The old bore can stay imaginary as far as I'm concerned, 1.3 ::CAN :=Nora: to worry any more! No more troubles! I can play all day with the children, I can 1.3 ::CAN :=Nora: can play all day with the children, I can fill the house with pretty things, just 1.3 ::CAN :=Rank: comfortable position so that they can keep a good watch on him. The healthy 1.3 ::CAN :=Rank: Well, then, you'd better not. But you can say it to us. What is it you'd love so 1.4 ::CAN :=Nora: come under some really clever man who can teach her even more than she knows already 1.4 ::CAN :=Mrs. Linde: Oh, how can I ever thank you -- ? 1.4 ::CAN :=Helmer: Then perhaps we can walk part of the way together. 1.5 ::CAN :=Krogstad: try to regain what respectability I can. This job in the bank was the first step 1.5 ::CAN :=Krogstad: a curious little problem, Mrs. Helmer? Can you suggest any explanation? And there's 1.5 ::CAN :=Krogstad: exactly what you have done. But I can assure you that it is no bigger nor worse 1.6 ::CAN :=Helmer: Nora, I can tell from your face, he's been here and 1.6 ::CAN :=Helmer: mother; though of course the father can have the same influence. Every lawyer 1.6 ::CAN :=Nurse: The children are asking if they can come in to Mummy. 2.1 ::CAN :=Nora: And you can tear it into a thousand pieces and burn 2.1 ::CAN :=Nora: Can you see that? 2.2 ::CAN :=Nora: that's terribly sweet of you. But you can get rid of one of the other clerks instead 2.2 ::CAN :=Helmer: "Torvald this," and "Torvald that." I can tell you, I find it damned annoying. 2.2 ::CAN :=Helmer: Then I won't hear anything, and you can make all the noise you want. When Dr. 2.3 ::CAN :=Rank: myself of that privilege as long as I can. 2.3 ::CAN :=Nora: do you mean by that? As long as you can? 2.3 ::CAN :=Nora: no; only the soles. Oh well, I suppose you can look a bit higher if you want to 2.3 ::CAN :=Rank: more the better. I've no idea what it can be. But tell me. You do trust me, don't 2.3 ::CAN :=Rank: now you know that. And now you also know that you can trust me as you can trust 2.3 ::CAN :=Rank: now you also know that you can trust me as you can trust nobody else. 2.3 ::CAN :=Rank: this. Let me be allowed to do what I can for you. 2.4 ::CAN :=Krogstad: love you so little? He knows what I can do to you, and yet he dares to -- 2.4 ::CAN :=Krogstad: It can all be settled quite amicably. There's 2.4 ::CAN :=Krogstad: How can you stop him? Can you pay the balance 2.4 ::CAN :=Krogstad: How can you stop him? Can you pay the balance of what you owe 2.5 ::CAN :=Mrs. Linde: Well, I've done the best I can. Shall we see how it looks -- ? 2.5 ::CAN :=Mrs. Linde: Yes, yes -- but how can you think -- ? 2.5 ::CAN :=Mrs. Linde: talking. I'll be back as quickly as I can. 2.5 ::CAN :=Helmer: Nora, I can tell from the way you're behaving, there's 3.1 ::CAN :=Mrs. Linde: I've always worked, for as long as I can remember; it's been the greatest joy 3.1 ::CAN :=Mrs. Linde: I know what despair can drive a man like you to. 3.1 ::CAN :=Mrs. Linde: You can. Your letter is still lying in the b 3.1 ::CAN :=Krogstad: prepared to risk it. But one thing I can do -- and at once -- 3.1 ::CAN :=Mrs. Linde: Yes, do. You can see me home. 3.2 ::CAN :=Rank: the most of this world? As much as one can, and for as long as one can. The wine 3.2 ::CAN :=Rank: as one can, and for as long as one can. The wine was excellent -- 3.2 ::CAN :=Helmer: Well-spent? Oh, I don't know that I can claim that. 3.2 ::CAN :=Rank: I can, though, my dear fellow! 3.2 ::CAN :=Rank: hat? Once it's over your head, no one can see you any more. 3.3 ::CAN :=Helmer: who is completely without scruples. He can do what he likes with me, demand what 3.3 ::CAN :=Helmer: assist me in the slightest. He can still make all the facts public; and 3.3 ::CAN :=Helmer: It's so unbelievable I can hardly credit it. But we must try to 3.3 ::CAN :=Helmer: all that must finished. Henceforth there can be no question of happiness; we 3.3 ::CAN :=Helmer: to save what shreds and tatters -- What can that be? At this hour? Surely not 3.3 ::CAN :=Helmer: he writes? We are saved, Nora! No one can harm you now. Oh, Nora, Nora -- no, first 3.4 ::CAN :=Helmer: Nora, how can you be so unreasonable and ungrateful? 3.4 ::CAN :=Helmer: How can you say that? 3.5 ::CAN :=Helmer: But this is monstrous! Can you neglect your most sacred duties? 3.5 ::CAN :=Nora: When I get away from all this and can think things out on my own, that's one 3.5 ::CAN :=Nora: be; but I can't accept that such laws can be right. Has a woman really not the 3.5 ::CAN :=Helmer: Nora! How can you say this to me? 3.5 ::CAN :=Helmer: Can you also explain why I have lost your 3.5 ::CAN :=Nora: Yes, I can. It happened this evening, when the miracle 3.5 ::CAN :=Helmer: and hardship for your sake. But no man can be expected to sacrifice his honour, 3.5 ::CAN :=Nora: better hands than mine. As I am now, I can be nothing to them. 3.5 ::CAN :=Nora: How can I tell? I've no idea what will happen 3.5 ::CAN :=Helmer: Nora -- can I never be anything but a stranger to 1.1 ::CAN'T :=Helmer: You can't deny it, Nora dear. The squanderbird's 1.1 ::CAN'T :=Helmer: true. Every penny you can. But you can't. 1.1 ::CAN'T :=Helmer: ordered some good wine. Oh, Nora, you can't imagine how I'm looking forward to 1.2 ::CAN'T :=Nora: three lovely children. I'm afraid you can't see them now, because they're out with 1.3 ::CAN'T :=Mrs. Linde: Well, a wife can't borrow money without her husband's 1.3 ::CAN'T :=Nora: Well, I can't say exactly. It's awfully difficult 1.4 ::CAN'T :=Nora: we're so cramped here -- I'm afraid we can't offer to -- 1.5 ::CAN'T :=Nora: What do you want? I can't give you anything today -- 1.5 ::CAN'T :=Krogstad: the innocent with me. I realize it can't be very pleasant for your friend to 1.5 ::CAN'T :=Nora: meant to be a lawyer, aren't you? You can't be a very good lawyer, Mr. Krogsta 1.6 ::CAN'T :=Nora: I know, but I can't just now. Go back to the nursery. I've 1.6 ::CAN'T :=Nora: I can't think of anything to wear. It all seems 1.6 ::CAN'T :=Nora: Yes, Torvald. I can't get anywhere without your help. 2.1 ::CAN'T :=Nurse: A poor girl what's got into trouble can't afford to pick and choose. That good-for-nothing 2.1 ::CAN'T :=Nora: Of course not. I can't imagine that it should ever become 2.1 ::CAN'T :=Nora: the nursery for a few minutes? Torvald can't bear to see sewing around. Anne-Marie'll 2.2 ::CAN'T :=Nora: Torvald, you can't mean this seriously. 2.3 ::CAN'T :=Nora: Aha! But surely you can't be jealous of poor Christine? 2.3 ::CAN'T :=Rank: I can't really give you a qualified opinion 2.3 ::CAN'T :=Rank: this being so intimate with you, I can't think -- I cannot imagine what would 2.3 ::CAN'T :=Nora: No, but, Dr. Rank, I can't. It's far too much --I want your help 2.3 ::CAN'T :=Nora: I know, what didn't I know -- I really can't say. How could you be so stupid, Dr. 2.3 ::CAN'T :=Nora: I can't possibly tell you now. 2.3 ::CAN'T :=Nora: You can't do anything for me now. Anyway, I don't 2.4 ::CAN'T :=Nora: happening after all. No, no, no, it can't happen, it mustn't happen. 2.4 ::CAN'T :=Krogstad: Oh, you can't frighten me. A pampered little pretty 2.4 ::CAN'T :=Nora: You can't frighten me. 2.4 ::CAN'T :=Krogstad: And you can't frighten me. People don't do such things 2.5 ::CAN'T :=Nora: Yes, Torvald, I must, I know. But I can't get anywhere without your help. I've 2.5 ::CAN'T :=Nora: I can't dance tomorrow if I don't practise 2.5 ::CAN'T :=Nora: I can't! 2.5 ::CAN'T :=Nora: You needn't have bothered. You can't stop anything now. Anyway, it's wonderful 3.2 ::CAN'T :=Helmer: But unfortunately that's just what I can't get Nora to realize. I say, it's hot 3.2 ::CAN'T :=Helmer: now -- that's an ugly business -- can't help it. Look -- arms all huddled up 3.3 ::CAN'T :=Helmer: He was so much a part of our life. I can't realize that he's gone. His suffering 3.3 ::CAN'T :=Helmer: my God! No, no -- it's impossible, it can't be true! 3.3 ::CAN'T :=Helmer: my poor little Nora, I understand. You can't believe that I have forgiven you. But 3.4 ::CAN'T :=Nora: first. I must educate myself. And you can't help me with that. It's something I 3.4 ::CAN'T :=Nora: about myself and about life. So I can't go on living here with you any lon 3.5 ::CAN'T :=Helmer: You're out of your mind! You can't do this! I forbid you! 3.5 ::CAN'T :=Nora: I can't help that. I only know that I must 3.5 ::CAN'T :=Nora: what I'd imagined them to be; but I can't accept that such laws can be right. 3.5 ::CAN'T :=Nora: pain, or save her husband's life? I can't believe that. 3.5 ::CAN'T :=Nora: always been so kind to me. But I can't help it. I don't love you any long 3.5 ::CAN'T :=Nora: Yes, absolutely sure. That's why I can't go on living here any longer. 3.5 ::CAN'T :=Nora: have borne him three children -- ! Oh, I can't bear to think of it! I could tear 3.5 ::CAN'T :=Helmer: to be parted from you! No, no, Nora, I can't conceive of it happening! 3.5 ::CAN'T :=Nora: I can't spend the night in a strange man's 3.5 ::CAN'T :=Helmer: But we can't live as brother and sister, then -- 1.6 ::CANDLES :=Nora: Now -- candles here -- and flowers here. That loathsome 1.5 ::CANNOT :=Krogstad: little problem -- which I simply cannot solve. 2.3 ::CANNOT :=Rank: intimate with you, I can't think -- I cannot imagine what would have become of 3.5 ::CANNOT :=Helmer: woman to behave like this! If religion cannot guide you, let me at least appeal 1.1 ::CANUT :=Helmer: Well, you know, we canUt afford to be extravagant. 1.1 ::CANUT :=Nora: we can be a little extravagant now. CanUt we? Just a tiny bit? YouUve got a big 2.1 ::CAPRI :=Nora: dance the tarantella. I learned it on Capri. 3.2 ::CAPRI :=Helmer: thank you. I took my beautiful little Capri signorina -- my capricious little Capricienne, 1.3 ::CAPRICES :=Nora: husband not to pander to my moods and caprices -- I think that's what he called 3.2 ::CAPRICIENNE :=Helmer: signorina -- my capricious little Capricienne, what? -- under my arm -- a swift 3.2 ::CAPRICIOUS :=Helmer: beautiful little Capri signorina -- my capricious little Capricienne, what? -- under 2.3 ::CARD :=Rank: the worst, I'll send you my visiting card with a black cross on it, and then you'll 2.5 ::CARD :=Nora: I know -- ? Oh yes, wait a moment -- ! Here's his card. But the letter, the letter 3.3 ::CARDS :=Helmer: Two visiting cards -- from Rank. 3.3 ::CARDS :=Nora: Yes. When these cards come, it means he's said goodbye to 1.2 ::CARE :=Nora: day. And then I had my poor Torvald to care for -- we really didn't think he'd live. 1.2 ::CARE :=Mrs. Linde: I had my two little brothers to take care of. I didn't feel I could say no. 1.3 ::CARE :=Mrs. Linde: But surely it's the sick who need care most? 1.3 ::CARE :=Nora: What do I care about society? I think it's a bore. 1.5 ::CARE :=Krogstad: the money; that's the last thing I care about. There's something else -- well, 1.5 ::CARE :=Nora: I couldn't bother about that. I didn't care about you. I hated you because of all 2.3 ::CARE :=Nora: -- ! Dr. Rank -- ! Anything but that! Anything, I don't care -- ! 2.4 ::CARE :=Nora: None that I would care to use. 3.1 ::CARE :=Mrs. Linde: forget I had a helpless mother to take care of, and two little brothers. We couldn't 3.1 ::CARE :=Mrs. Linde: in the same position as you. No one to care about, no one to care for. 3.1 ::CARE :=Mrs. Linde: you. No one to care about, no one to care for. 3.5 ::CARE :=Nora: henceforth you would take particular care to protect from the world because she 1.1 ::CARES :=Nora: Them? Who cares about them? They're strangers. 3.3 ::CARRIED :=Helmer: I have to thank you, you whom I have carried on my hands through all the years 3.2 ::CARRYING :=Nora: Yes, of course, Dr. Rank -- you've been carrying out a scientific experiment today, 1.2 ::CASE :=Nora: if one isn't prepared to touch any case that isn't -- well -- quite nice. And 1.3 ::CASE :=Nora: to meet my obligations punctually. In case you don't know, in the world of business 1.3 ::CASE :=Rank: moral corruption? And when they find a case they give him some nice, comfortable 1.6 ::CASE :=Helmer: Nora must promise me not to plead his case. Your hand on it. Come, come, what's 2.4 ::CASE :=Krogstad: else need ever hear about it. So in case you were thinking of doing anything 3.5 ::CASE :=Nora: of any obligations towards her. In any case, I release you from any such obligations. 1.3 ::CASH :=Nora: to my beloved Mrs. Nora Helmer in cash." 3.1 ::CAST :=Krogstad: Maybe. But you had no right to cast me off for someone else. 3.1 ::CASTAWAYS :=Mrs. Linde: Castaways have a better chance of survival 1.1 ::CAT :=Nora: that up again? How could I help the cat getting in and tearing everything into 2.1 ::CATCH :=Nurse: In this dreadful weather? You'll catch a chill, madam. 3.2 ::CATCH :=Helmer: now. Into the drawing-room. You'll catch cold if you stay out here. 2.2 ::CAUSE :=Helmer: The very fact of your pleading his cause makes it impossible for me to keep 1.3 ::CAUSED :=Nora: useless, am I? Mind you, all this has caused me a frightful lot of worry. It hasn't 1.2 ::CELEBRATE :=Nora: Oh, how splendid! We'll have to celebrate! But take off you coat. You're 1.5 ::CERTAIN :=Krogstad: I promised to find that sum for you on certain conditions. You were so worried about 1.6 ::CERTAIN :=Helmer: trustees to give me authority to make certain immediate changes in the staff and 3.5 ::CERTAIN :=Nora: they do to you. I've learned now that certain laws are different from what I'd 3.5 ::CERTAIN :=Nora: Then I was certain that you would step forward and take 1.1 ::CERTAINLY :=Nora: Certainly not. 3.2 ::CERTAINTY :=Rank: both for the doctor and the patient. Certainty. 3.2 ::CERTAINTY :=Nora: Certainty? 3.2 ::CERTAINTY :=Rank: Absolute certainty. So aren't I entitled to have a 2.3 ::CHAMPAGNE :=Nora: And all that port and champagne to wash them down. It's too sad 2.5 ::CHAMPAGNE :=Nora: Put out some champagne, Helen. 2.5 ::CHAMPAGNE :=Nora: We'll drink champagne until dawn! And, Helen! Put out 3.2 ::CHAMPAGNE :=Helmer: I say, that really was a magnificent champagne they served us. 3.2 ::CHAMPAGNE :=Helmer: Especially the champagne. 3.2 ::CHAMPAGNE :=Nora: Torvald drank a lot of champagne too, this evening. 1.1 ::CHANCE :=Helmer: herself in town today, by any chance? 1.5 ::CHANCE :=Krogstad: Tell me, Mrs. Helmer, do you by any chance remember the date of your father's 2.1 ::CHANCE :=Nurse: When I had the chance of such a good job? A poor girl what's 3.1 ::CHANCE :=Mrs. Linde: Castaways have a better chance of survival together than on their 3.1 ::CHANCE :=Mrs. Linde: to bring joy into! I won't let this chance of happiness slip through my fingers. 3.2 ::CHANCE :=Nora: Oh? Was he? I didn't have a chance to speak with him. 2.2 ::CHANGE :=Helmer: allowed his wife to persuade him to change his mind -- 3.1 ::CHANGE :=Mrs. Linde: What a change! Oh, what a change! Someone to work 3.1 ::CHANGE :=Mrs. Linde: What a change! Oh, what a change! Someone to work for -- to live for! 3.5 ::CHANGE :=Helmer: I have the strength to change. 3.5 ::CHANGE :=Nora: You and I would have to change so much that -- oh, Torvald, I don't 3.5 ::CHANGE :=Helmer: in them. Tell me. We should have to change so much that -- ? 1.2 ::CHANGED :=Nora: you! But how could I -- ? How you've changed, Christine! 1.3 ::CHANGED :=Mrs. Linde: How he's changed! 3.3 ::CHANGED :=Helmer: has happened -- a happy accident has changed his life -- oh, what does it matter 3.3 ::CHANGED :=Helmer: What's this? Not in bed? Have you changed? 3.4 ::CHANGED :=Nora: Yes, Torvald. I've changed. 1.6 ::CHANGES :=Helmer: me authority to make certain immediate changes in the staff and organization. I 2.4 ::CHANGING :=Nora: door. He's not going downstairs. Is he changing his mind? Yes, he -- ! 1.3 ::CHAP :=Rank: No, no, my dear chap, don't see me out. I'll go and have 2.3 ::CHAP :=Rank: ask you a favour. Helmer's a sensitive chap, and I know how he hates anything ugly. 2.5 ::CHAP :=Helmer: Good heavens no, my dear chap. She just gets scared like a child sometimes 3.2 ::CHAP :=Helmer: Goodbye, my dear chap, goodbye. 3.4 ::CHARGE :=Nora: ago that you dare not leave them in my charge? 2.2 ::CHARMINGLY :=Helmer: But I forgive you, because it so charmingly testifies to the love you bear 2.1 ::CHAT :=Nora: talking about them. But I often chat with Dr. Rank about that kind of thing. 1.2 ::CHATTER :=Nora: how thoughtless of me to sit here and chatter away like this! Dear, sweet Christine, 1.4 ::CHATTERING :=Rank: Don't stand here chattering in this draught! 1.3 ::CHEAPEST :=Nora: it; and I always bought what was the cheapest and plainest. Thank heaven anything 1.1 ::CHEAPLY :=Nora: you everything I've bought. And so cheaply! Look, here are new clothes for Ivar 1.6 ::CHEATING :=Helmer: conscience must always be lying and cheating and dissembling; how he must wear 1.3 ::CHECK :=Nora: awfully difficult to keep an exact check on these kind of transactions. I only 1.4 ::CHEEKS :=Nora: How well you look! What red cheeks you've got! Like apples and roses! 2.3 ::CHEER :=Nora: Nonsense! Cheer up! Laugh! 3.2 ::CHEERFUL :=Helmer: human being. I say, did you notice how cheerful Rank was this evening? 1.3 ::CHIEF :=Krogstad: hear your husband is to become our new chief -- 1.2 ::CHILD :=Mrs. Linde: of yours -- well, really -- ! You're a child, Nora. 2.1 ::CHILD :=Nora: How could you bear to give your child away -- to strangers? 2.1 ::CHILD :=Nora: has been sickly ever since he was a child -- you understand -- 2.1 ::CHILD :=Mrs. Linde: Nora. In many ways you're still a child; I'm a bit older than you and have 2.5 ::CHILD :=Helmer: My child shall have her way. But tomorrow night, 2.5 ::CHILD :=Helmer: dear chap. She just gets scared like a child sometimes -- I told you before -- 3.3 ::CHILD :=Helmer: is now not only his wife but also his child. From now on that is what you shall 3.5 ::CHILD :=Helmer: You're talking like a child. You don't understand how society 3.5 ::CHILD :=Helmer: Oh, you think and talk like a stupid child. 1.4 ::CHILDHOOD :=Helmer: Ah. A childhood friend of my wife's, I presume 1.1 ::CHILDREN :=Nora: that Christmas tree away, Helen. The children mustnUt see it before IUve decorated 1.1 ::CHILDREN :=Nora: So am I. And, Torvald, how the children will love it! 1.2 ::CHILDREN :=Nora: No children, either? 1.2 ::CHILDREN :=Nora: must be for you. I've three lovely children. I'm afraid you can't see them now, 1.2 ::CHILDREN :=Nora: illness since we went away. And the children are fit and healthy and so am I. 1.3 ::CHILDREN :=Nora: to live well; and I couldn't let the children go short of clothes -- I couldn't 1.3 ::CHILDREN :=Nora: troubles! I can play all day with the children, I can fill the house with pretty 1.3 ::CHILDREN :=Nora: Yes, with a lot of children. Ah, now it's alight. 1.6 ::CHILDREN :=Helmer: dearest to him, even his own wife and children! Yes, the children. That's the worst 1.6 ::CHILDREN :=Helmer: his own wife and children! Yes, the children. That's the worst danger, Nora. 1.6 ::CHILDREN :=Helmer: of the home. Every breath that the children draw in such a house contains the 1.6 ::CHILDREN :=Helmer: Nearly all young criminals are the children of mothers who are constitutional 1.6 ::CHILDREN :=Helmer: at home all these years poisoning his children with his lies and pretences. That's 1.6 ::CHILDREN :=Nurse: The children are asking if they can come in to 1.6 ::CHILDREN :=Nora: Corrupt my little children -- ! Poison my home! It isn't true! 2.1 ::CHILDREN :=Nora: It isn't possible. Why, I've three small children. 2.1 ::CHILDREN :=Nora: wouldn't be the worst. How are the children? 2.1 ::CHILDREN :=Nurse: Well, children get used to anything in time. 2.1 ::CHILDREN :=Nora: silly, Christine -- when one has three children, one come into contact with women 2.2 ::CHILDREN :=Nora: from every worry -- you and I and the children. Oh, please, Torvald, please -- 2.2 ::CHILDREN :=Nora: sake -- for your own sake -- for the children! Do you hear me, Torvald? Please 2.4 ::CHILDREN :=Nora: some heart, then. Think of my little children. 3.1 ::CHILDREN :=Mrs. Linde: someone to be a mother to; and your children need a mother. And you and I need 3.3 ::CHILDREN :=Nora: Then it must have been the children. 3.3 ::CHILDREN :=Nora: Never. Never. Never. Never see the children again. Them too. Never. Never. Oh 3.3 ::CHILDREN :=Helmer: here. That is understood. But the children shall be taken out of your hands. 3.4 ::CHILDREN :=Nora: used to be Papa's doll-child. And the children have been my dolls. I used to think 3.4 ::CHILDREN :=Nora: what about me? Am I fit to educate the children? 3.5 ::CHILDREN :=Helmer: to leave your home, your husband, your children! Have you thought what people will 3.5 ::CHILDREN :=Helmer: duties towards your husband, and your children. 3.5 ::CHILDREN :=Helmer: right to leave your husband and your children? 3.5 ::CHILDREN :=Nora: stranger, and have borne him three children -- ! Oh, I can't bear to think of 3.5 ::CHILDREN :=Nora: Torvald. I don't want to see the children. I know they're in better hands 3.5 ::CHILDREN :=Nora: I shall often think of you and the children and this house. 3.4 ::CHILDREN'S :=Nora: Whose education? Mine or the children's? 3.4 ::CHILDREN'S :=Helmer: Both yours and the children's, my dearest Nora. 2.1 ::CHILL :=Nurse: this dreadful weather? You'll catch a chill, madam. 3.2 ::CHINAMAN :=Helmer: down -- makes you look like a damned Chinaman. I say, that really was a magnificent 3.1 ::CHOICE :=Krogstad: You made your own choice. 3.1 ::CHOICE :=Mrs. Linde: I had no choice -- then. 2.1 ::CHOOSE :=Nurse: into trouble can't afford to pick and choose. That good-for-nothing didn't life 1.6 ::CHOSE :=Helmer: But Krogstad didn't do that. He chose to try and trick his way out of it; 3.3 ::CHOSE :=Helmer: simply that in your inexperience you chose the wrong means. But do you think I 2.2 ::CHRISTIAN :=Helmer: the truth. We -- well, we're on Christian name terms. And the tactless idiot 1.2 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: Yes, wait a minute -- surely -- Why, Christine! Is it really you? 1.2 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: Christine! And I didn't recognize you! But 1.2 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: you! But how could I -- ? How you've changed, Christine! 1.2 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: -- you've got a little paler, though, Christine. And perhaps a bit thinner. 1.2 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: chatter away like this! Dear, sweet Christine, can you forgive me? 1.2 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: Poor Christine, you've become a widow. 1.2 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: I know -- I read it in the papers. Oh, Christine, I meant to write to you so often, 1.2 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: No, Christine, it was beastly of me. Oh, my poor 1.2 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: But, Christine, how is that possible? 1.2 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: be able to do whatever we want. Oh, Christine, it's such a relief! I feel so 1.2 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: But it cost an awful lot of money, Christine. 1.2 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: Yes, Christine, just about then. Wasn't it dreadful, 1.2 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: kind Papa! I never saw him again, Christine. Oh, it's the saddest thing that's 1.2 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: healthy and so am I. Oh God, oh God, Christine, isn't it a wonderful thing to 1.2 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: Oh but, Christine, that's dreadfully exhausting; 1.2 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: He will too, Christine. Just you leave it to me. I'll 1.2 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: I'll get him in the right mood. Oh, Christine, I do so want to help you. 1.2 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: You patronise me, Christine; but you shouldn't. You're proud 1.2 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: so too. But let me tell you something, Christine. I too have done something to be 1.2 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: at any price -- no one must know, Christine -- no one but you. 1.3 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: Come over here. Yes, Christine -- I too have done something to 1.3 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: dying of curiosity now, aren't you, Christine? 1.3 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: But then he got almost angry with me, Christine. He said I was frivolous, and that 1.3 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: what do you think of my big secret, Christine? I'm not completely useless, am 1.3 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: I don't have to worry any longer! Oh, Christine, isn't it wonderful? I don't have 1.3 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: just the way Torvald likes. And, Christine, it'll soon be spring, and the 1.3 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: Yes, well, these are some Christine gave me. 1.3 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: ! Don't you agree, Dr. Rank? Here! You too, Christine. and I'll have one too. Just 1.4 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: May I introduce you -- ? This is Christine. She's just arrived in town 1.4 ::CHRISTINE :=Helmer: Christine -- ? Forgive me, but I don't think 1.4 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: Mrs. Linde, Torvald dear. Christine Linde. 1.4 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: you? Do a little something to help Christine? For my sake? 1.4 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: Are you going too, Christine? 1.4 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: in! Oh, my sweet darlings -- ! Look at them, Christine! Aren't they beautiful? 2.1 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: Oh, it's you, Christine. There's no one else out there, 2.1 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: to have come to town a little earlier, Christine . . . Yes, Torvald understands 2.1 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: Oh, don't be silly, Christine -- when one has three children, 2.1 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: Yes, that's quite right, Christine. You see, Torvald's so hopelessly 2.1 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: Christine! Ssh! There's Torvald. Would you 2.2 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: No, it was Christine. She's helping me mend my costume. 2.3 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: surely you can't be jealous of poor Christine? 2.5 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: Christine, come here. 2.5 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: Christine, all I want is for you to be my 2.5 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: you must testify that it isn't true, Christine. I'm not mad -- I know exactly 2.5 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: A miracle. But it's so frightening, Christine. It mustn't happen, not for anything 2.5 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: Oh, Christine, we're having such fun! 2.5 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: Rank. I'll be with you in a minute. Christine, you must help me put my hair 3.1 ::CHRISTINE :=Krogstad: Christine! 3.1 ::CHRISTINE :=Krogstad: Christine -- do you really mean this? Yes 3.1 ::CHRISTINE :=Krogstad: Thank you, Christine -- thank you! Now I shall make 3.1 ::CHRISTINE :=Krogstad: All right, I'll go. It's no good, Christine. I'd forgotten -- you don't know 3.2 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: Christine! 3.2 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: Thank you, Christine. Now I know what I must do. Ss 3.4 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: I'm leaving you now, at once. Christine will put me up for tonight -- 3.5 ::CHRISTINE :=Nora: I do. Tomorrow, when I have left town, Christine will come to pack the things I 1.4 ::CHRISTINE'S :=Nora: You see, Christine's frightfully good at office work, 1.1 ::CHRISTMAS :=Nora: Hide that Christmas tree away, Helen. The children 1.1 ::CHRISTMAS :=Nora: go a little this year! ItUs the first Christmas we donUt have to scrape. 1.1 ::CHRISTMAS :=Helmer: today, and you spent it all over Christmas, and then on New Year's Eve a tile 1.1 ::CHRISTMAS :=Helmer: how these small expenses crop up at Christmas. 1.1 ::CHRISTMAS :=Helmer: spendthrift, what do you want for Christmas? 1.1 ::CHRISTMAS :=Nora: pretty gold paper and hang them on the Christmas tree. Wouldn't that be fun? 1.1 ::CHRISTMAS :=Helmer: my beloved Nora, you keep your little Christmas secrets to yourself. They'll be 1.1 ::CHRISTMAS :=Helmer: this evening, I've no doubt, once the Christmas tree has been lit. 1.1 ::CHRISTMAS :=Helmer: Do you remember last Christmas? For three whole weeks you shut 1.1 ::CHRISTMAS :=Helmer: every evening to make flowers for the Christmas tree, and all those other things 1.1 ::CHRISTMAS :=Nora: we might do, Torvald. As soon as Christmas is over -- Oh, there's the doorbell. 1.2 ::CHRISTMAS :=Nora: of course -- to enjoy yourself over Christmas. Oh, how splendid! We'll have to 1.5 ::CHRISTMAS :=Krogstad: No, it is Christmas Eve. Whether or not you have a 1.5 ::CHRISTMAS :=Krogstad: Eve. Whether or not you have a merry Christmas depends on you. 1.6 ::CHRISTMAS :=Nora: go away. No! Helen! Bring in the Christmas tree! No, but it's utterly imp 1.6 ::CHRISTMAS :=Nora: nothing to be frightened about. The Christmas tree must be beautiful. I'll do 1.6 ::CHRISTMAS :=Helmer: my sleeve to hang in gold paper on the Christmas tree. My precious little songb 2.1 ::CHRISTMAS :=Nora: course -- no one'll come today, it's Christmas Day. Nor tomorrow. But perhaps 2.1 ::CHRISTMAS :=Nora: Playing with their Christmas presents, poor little dears. But 3.3 ::CHRISTMAS :=Helmer: they're destroyed. He wrote that ever since Christmas Eve you've been -- oh, these 2.4 ::CHUCKED :=Krogstad: way back inch by inch. Now I've been chucked back into the mud, and I'm not going 3.1 ::CHUCKING :=Krogstad: the old story, isn't it -- a woman chucking a man because something better turns 2.3 ::CHURCHYARD :=Rank: month I may be rotting up there in the churchyard. 3.2 ::CIGAR :=Rank: what I came for. Helmer, give me a cigar. One of your black Havanas. 3.2 ::CLAIM :=Helmer: Well-spent? Oh, I don't know that I can claim that. 3.2 ::CLANDESTINE :=Helmer: that you're my secret mistress, my clandestine little sweetheart, and that nobody 3.3 ::CLAWS :=Helmer: I have snatched unharmed from the claws of the falcon. Your wildly beating 1.6 ::CLEAN :=Helmer: do that again. A songbird must have a clean beak to sing with; otherwise she'll 2.4 ::CLEAN :=Krogstad: eighteen months now my records been clean. I've been in hard straits all that 3.5 ::CLEARLY :=Helmer: Explain more clearly. I don't understand you. 1.3 ::CLERK :=Mrs. Linde: some years ago. He was a solicitor's clerk in our town, for a while. 2.2 ::CLERKS :=Nora: you can get rid of one of the other clerks instead of Krogstad. 1.3 ::CLEVER :=Nora: business sense, and knows how to be clever -- 1.4 ::CLEVER :=Nora: she's mad to come under some really clever man who can teach her even more than 1.4 ::CLEVER :=Nora: What, both together? I say! What a clever boy you are, Ivar! Oh, let me hold 1.2 ::CLIMATE :=Nora: said he'd have to go to a warmer climate. 1.3 ::CLIMATE :=Nora: danger and that only going to a warm climate could save him. Do you suppose I 3.1 ::CLINGING :=Krogstad: at me. Now I am a shipwrecked man, clinging to a spar. 3.1 ::CLINGING :=Mrs. Linde: said you were like a shipwrecked man clinging to a spar. 1.5 ::CLOSE :=Krogstad: ajar. Someone must have forgotten to close it. 2.2 ::CLOSE :=Helmer: tambourine. I'll sit in my study and close the door. Then I won't hear anything, 3.3 ::CLOSE :=Helmer: feel as though I could never hold you close enough. Do you know, Nora, often I 2.5 ::CLOSED :=Helmer: alarmed. We're not coming in; you've closed the door. Are you trying on your 3.3 ::CLOSING :=Helmer: duty! Oh, how I have been punished for closing my eyes to his faults! I did it for 1.1 ::CLOTHES :=Nora: And so cheaply! Look, here are new clothes for Ivar -- and a sword. And a horse 1.3 ::CLOTHES :=Nora: couldn't let the children go short of clothes -- I couldn't take anything out of 1.3 ::CLOTHES :=Nora: gave me money to buy myself new clothes, I never used more than half of it; 1.3 ::CLOTHES :=Nora: because it's lovely to wear pretty clothes. Don't you think? 2.1 ::CLOTHES :=Nurse: I found those fancy dress clothes at last, madam. 3.2 ::CLUMSY :=Helmer: Look -- arms all huddled up -- great clumsy needles going up and down -- makes 1.2 ::COAT :=Nora: have to celebrate! But take off you coat. You're not cold, are you? There! Now 3.1 ::COAT :=Mrs. Linde: come? Ah, here they are. I must get my coat on. 1.4 ::COFFEE :=Nora: you look frozen. There's some hot coffee on the stove. What? A big dog ran 1.2 ::COLD :=Nora: But take off you coat. You're not cold, are you? There! Now let's sit down 2.4 ::COLD :=Krogstad: Under the ice? Down in the cold, black water? And then, in the spring, 3.2 ::COLD :=Helmer: Into the drawing-room. You'll catch cold if you stay out here. 1.1 ::COME :=Helmer: When did my squirrel come home? 1.1 ::COME :=Nora: Just now. Come out here, Torvald, and see what IUve 1.1 ::COME :=Nora: Yes, yes, of course I will. But come over here, I want to show you everything 1.1 ::COME :=Helmer: Come on, out with it. 1.2 ::COME :=Nora: Well, ask her to come in. 1.2 ::COME :=Nora: such a happy time for me! So you've come to town? All that way in winter! How 1.2 ::COME :=Nora: that's Doctor Rank, but he doesn't come because anyone's ill. He's our best 1.3 ::COME :=Nora: Come over here. Yes, Christine -- I too have 1.3 ::COME :=Mrs. Linde: from your father that the money hadn't come from him? 1.3 ::COME :=Nora: stupid, stupid! That time will never come. Well, what do you think of my big secret, 1.3 ::COME :=Rank: Ah, is that all? Then I take it you've come to town to cure yourself by a round 1.3 ::COME :=Mrs. Linde: I have come here to find work. 1.3 ::COME :=Nora: -- will everyone who works at the bank come under Torvald now? 1.4 ::COME :=Nora: good at office work, and she's mad to come under some really clever man who can 1.4 ::COME :=Helmer: You've come at a lucky moment, Mrs. Linde. 1.4 ::COME :=Rank: Wait. I'll come with you. 1.4 ::COME :=Nora: Come in, come in! Oh, my sweet darlings -- 1.4 ::COME :=Nora: Come in, come in! Oh, my sweet darlings -- ! Look 1.4 ::COME :=Helmer: Come, Mrs. Linde. This is for mothers on 1.4 ::COME :=Nora: to know! No, no; it's nothing nice. Come on, let's play a game. What shall we 1.6 ::COME :=Helmer: That's strange. I saw Krogstad come out of the front door. 1.6 ::COME :=Helmer: So my little Nora's come to that conclusion, has she? 1.6 ::COME :=Helmer: Oh, my dear, I've come across it so often in my work at the 1.6 ::COME :=Helmer: to plead his case. Your hand on it. Come, come, what's this? Give me your hand. 1.6 ::COME :=Helmer: plead his case. Your hand on it. Come, come, what's this? Give me your hand. There. 1.6 ::COME :=Nurse: The children are asking if they can come in to Mummy. 2.1 ::COME :=Nora: it's no one. Of course -- no one'll come today, it's Christmas Day. Nor tomorrow. 2.1 ::COME :=Nora: out! If I could be sure no one would come, and nothing would happen while I was 2.1 ::COME :=Nora: was away! Stupid, stupid! No one will come. I just mustn't think about it. Brush 2.1 ::COME :=Nora: is there? Oh, I'm so glad you've come. 2.1 ::COME :=Mrs. Linde: put that right; the stitching's just come away. Needle and thread? Ah, here we 2.1 ::COME :=Nora: as nice as usual. You ought to have come to town a little earlier, Christine 2.1 ::COME :=Nora: -- when one has three children, one come into contact with women who -- well, 2.1 ::COME :=Nora: any money to lend then. He didn't come into that till later. 2.2 ::COME :=Nora: dear, I've been so longing for you to come back! 2.3 ::COME :=Rank: there's so much else that's nasty to come first. I've only one more test to make. 2.3 ::COME :=Nora: She's only come to mend my dress. Good heavens, how 2.5 ::COME :=Nora: Christine, come here. 2.5 ::COME :=Nora: Come here. Do you see that letter? There 2.5 ::COME :=Helmer: man enter his own drawing-room again? Come on, Rank, now we'll see what -- But 2.5 ::COME :=Helmer: only going to see if any letters have come. 2.5 ::COME :=Nora: it now. I don't want anything ugly to come between us till it's all over. 3.1 ::COME :=Mrs. Linde: Please God he hasn't -- ! Ah, here he is. Come in. There's no one here. 3.1 ::COME :=Mrs. Linde: my room has no separate entrance. Come in. We're quite alone. The maid's asleep, 3.1 ::COME :=Krogstad: that the real reason you asked me to come here? 3.1 ::COME :=Mrs. Linde: of Nora's must be revealed. They must come to a full understanding; there must 3.1 ::COME :=Mrs. Linde: through my fingers. Oh, why don't they come? Ah, here they are. I must get my coat 3.2 ::COME :=Helmer: my sweet. You know what we agreed. Come along, now. Into the drawing-room. You'll 3.2 ::COME :=Helmer: are my young bride, that we've just come from the wedding, that I'm taking you 3.2 ::COME :=Rank: It's me. May I come in for a moment? 3.3 ::COME :=Nora: Yes. When these cards come, it means he's said goodbye to us. He 3.3 ::COME :=Helmer: has upset us both. An ugliness has come between us; thoughts of death and dissolution. 3.4 ::COME :=Helmer: Playtime is over. Now the time has come for education. 3.5 ::COME :=Nora: when I have left town, Christine will come to pack the things I brought here from 2.3 ::COMER :=Rank: empty place, to be filled by the next comer. 1.1 ::COMES :=Helmer: with us. Anyway, I'll ask him when he comes this morning. I've ordered some good 2.1 ::COMES :=Mrs. Linde: And he comes here to see you every day? 2.1 ::COMES :=Nora: such a thing? A friend, someone who comes here every day! Why, that'd be an impossible 2.2 ::COMES :=Helmer: enters into over-hastily and so often comes to regret later in life. I might as 2.2 ::COMES :=Helmer: happen, happen. When the real crisis comes, you will not find me lacking in strength 2.2 ::COMES :=Helmer: all the noise you want. When Dr. Rank comes, tell him where to find me. 3.1 ::COMES :=Krogstad: I shall. I shall stay here till Helmer comes down. I'll tell him he must give me 3.3 ::COMES :=Nora: When the time comes, it's best to go silently. Don't you 1.2 ::COMFORTABLE :=Nora: sit down here by the stove and be comfortable. No, you take the armchair. I'll 1.3 ::COMFORTABLE :=Rank: find a case they give him some nice, comfortable position so that they can keep 1.2 ::COMFORTABLY :=Mrs. Linde: Quite comfortably off, I believe. But his business 1.1 ::COMING :=Nora: -- Oh, there's the doorbell. Someone's coming. What a bore. 1.4 ::COMING :=Nora: Au revoir. You'll be coming back this evening, of course. And 2.1 ::COMING :=Nora: There's someone coming! No, it's no one. Of course -- no 2.1 ::COMING :=Nora: four, five, six -- Ah -- they're coming -- ! 2.5 ::COMING :=Helmer: Now, now, don't get alarmed. We're not coming in; you've closed the door. Are you 3.1 ::COMING :=Mrs. Linde: As soon as it's finished, they'll be coming down. 1.5 ::COMMITTED :=Krogstad: else does, that some years ago I committed an indiscretion. 1.5 ::COMMITTED :=Krogstad: nor worse a crime than the one I once committed, and thereby ruined my whole social 2.5 ::COMMITTED :=Nora: You don't know what's happened. I've committed a forgery -- 2.3 ::COMPANY :=Nora: quite well how Torvald depends on your company. 3.2 ::COMPANY :=Helmer: of the ballroom, a curtsey to the company, and, as they say in novels, the 1.2 ::COMPARATIVELY :=Mrs. Linde: make my mother's last months on earth comparatively easy. 3.5 ::COMPLETE :=Nora: years I have been living here with a complete stranger, and have borne him three 1.2 ::COMPLETELY :=Mrs. Linde: And your husband came back completely cured? 1.2 ::COMPLETELY :=Mrs. Linde: One has to live; and so one becomes completely egocentric. When you told me about 1.3 ::COMPLETELY :=Nora: know that he owed anything to me. It'd completely wreck our relationship. This life 1.3 ::COMPLETELY :=Nora: of my big secret, Christine? I'm not completely useless, am I? Mind you, all this 2.1 ::COMPLETELY :=Nora: But your daughter must have completely forgotten you. 2.1 ::COMPLETELY :=Mrs. Linde: to see how you look. Oh, but I've completely forgotten to thank you for that 2.1 ::COMPLETELY :=Nora: Oh, bosh. When you've completely repaid a debt, you get your I.O.U. 2.5 ::COMPLETELY :=Nora: get anywhere without your help. I've completely forgotten everything. 3.3 ::COMPLETELY :=Helmer: I am in the power of a man who is completely without scruples. He can do what 2.2 ::CONCEAL :=Helmer: the tactless idiot makes no attempt to conceal it when other people are present. 2.2 ::CONCEIVABLY :=Helmer: I might conceivably have allowed myself to ignore 3.5 ::CONCEIVE :=Helmer: parted from you! No, no, Nora, I can't conceive of it happening! 1.5 ::CONCERN :=Krogstad: The law does not concern itself with motives. 1.3 ::CONCERNED :=Nora: bore can stay imaginary as far as I'm concerned, because now I don't have to worry 3.5 ::CONCERNED :=Nora: was past, then as far as you were concerned it was exactly as though nothing 1.6 ::CONCLUSION :=Helmer: So my little Nora's come to that conclusion, has she? 1.6 ::CONDEMN :=Helmer: happens. I'm not so heartless as to condemn a man for an isolated action. 3.3 ::CONDEMNED :=Helmer: -- I dare not disobey him. I am condemned to humiliation and ruin simply 1.3 ::CONDITION :=Nora: and prayed; I asked him to remember my condition, and said he ought to be nice and 1.5 ::CONDITION :=Nora: But I couldn't have told him in his condition that my husband's life was in danger. 1.5 ::CONDITIONS :=Krogstad: to find that sum for you on certain conditions. You were so worried about your 2.2 ::CONFESS :=Helmer: regret later in life. I might as well confess the truth. We -- well, we're on Christian 1.5 ::CONFIRM :=Krogstad: Quite correct; I took the trouble to confirm it. And that leaves me with a curious 3.5 ::CONFIRMATION :=Nora: Pastor Hansen told me when I went to confirmation. He explained that religion 2.1 ::CONFIRMED :=Nurse: written me twice, once when she got confirmed and then again when she got ma 3.2 ::CONGRATULATE :=Nora: And may I congratulate you on the finding? 1.3 ::CONNECTION :=Nora: Krog -- that this man Krogstad had any connection with the bank. 1.6 ::CONSCIENCE :=Helmer: think how a man with that load on his conscience must always be lying and cheating 3.3 ::CONSCIENCE :=Helmer: me. I shall be both your will and your conscience. What's this? Not in bed? Have 3.5 ::CONSCIENCE :=Helmer: you, let me at least appeal to your conscience. I presume you have some moral 1.3 ::CONSENT :=Mrs. Linde: borrow money without her husband's consent. 2.2 ::CONSEQUENCES :=Helmer: influence? Believe me, I'd soon feel the consequences! Besides -- there's something 2.2 ::CONSIDERABLE :=Helmer: But my dear little Nora, there's a considerable difference between your father 1.6 ::CONSPIRACY :=Helmer: you were ready to enter into such a conspiracy? Talking to a man like that, and 1.6 ::CONSTITUTIONAL :=Helmer: are the children of mothers who are constitutional liars. 2.1 ::CONSUL :=Nora: dress ball tomorrow night upstairs at Consul Stenborg's, and Torvald wants me to 2.1 ::CONTACT :=Nora: one has three children, one come into contact with women who -- well, who know 1.6 ::CONTAINS :=Helmer: that the children draw in such a house contains the germs of evil. 1.6 ::CONTAMINATES :=Helmer: Because an atmosphere of lies contaminates and poisons every corner of 3.3 ::CONTEMPLATE :=Helmer: whole future. Oh, it's too dreadful to contemplate! I am in the power of a man who 2.4 ::CONTENT :=Krogstad: in hard straits all that time; I was content to fight my way back inch by inch. 1.2 ::CONTINUALLY :=Mrs. Linde: one to work for; and yet one has to be continually sponging for jobs. One has to 1.1 ::CONTINUE :=Helmer: it out bravely up to now; and we shall continue to do so for the short time we still 2.3 ::CONTINUE :=Rank: serve you, body and soul. So -- please continue. 2.3 ::CONTINUE :=Nora: Of course not. You will naturally continue to visit us as before. You know 3.3 ::CONTINUE :=Helmer: appear, of course. You will therefore continue to reside here. That is understood. 2.1 ::CONTRARY :=Nora: No, quite the contrary. What gave you that idea? 2.2 ::CONTRARY :=Helmer: when other people are present. On the contrary, he thinks it gives him the right 3.2 ::CONTRARY :=Helmer: Not a bit. On the contrary, I feel extraordinarily exhilarated. 3.1 ::CONVERSATION :=Krogstad: Oh? And must our conversation take place in this house? 3.2 ::CONVEY :=Helmer: You try to think of a costume that'll convey that. 1.3 ::COPE :=Nora: and they're a terrible problem to cope with. So I've had to scrape a little 1.3 ::COPYING :=Nora: Last winter I managed to get a lot of copying to do. So I shut myself away and 1.6 ::CORNER :=Helmer: of lies contaminates and poisons every corner of the home. Every breath that the 2.5 ::CORNER :=Mrs. Linde: Why, he lives just round the corner. 1.5 ::CORRECT :=Krogstad: to post to your father. Is that not correct? 1.5 ::CORRECT :=Krogstad: Quite correct; I took the trouble to confirm it. 2.5 ::CORRECT :=Nora: down and play for me, Torvald dear. Correct me, lead me, the way you always 1.6 ::CORRUPT :=Nora: Corrupt my little children -- ! Poison my 1.3 ::CORRUPTION :=Rank: around trying to smell out moral corruption? And when they find a case they 1.2 ::COST :=Nora: And it saved Torvald's life. But it cost an awful lot of money, Christine. 1.6 ::COSTUME :=Nora: what I shall go as, and what kind of costume I ought to wear? 1.6 ::COSTUME :=Helmer: before dinner. I'll think about your costume too. And I may even have something 2.2 ::COSTUME :=Nora: Christine. She's helping me mend my costume. I'm going to look rather splendid 2.3 ::COSTUME :=Rank: What? But your costume is lying over there. 2.5 ::COSTUME :=Helmer: the door. Are you trying on your costume? 2.5 ::COSTUME :=Nora: Yes, yes -- I'm trying on my costume. I'm going to look so pretty for 3.2 ::COSTUME :=Mrs. Linde: me. I did so want to see Nora in her costume. 3.2 ::COSTUME :=Helmer: You try to think of a costume that'll convey that. 1.6 ::COSY :=Helmer: let's hear no more about that. Ah, how cosy and peaceful it is here. 1.1 ::COULD :=Nora: really want to give me something, you could -- you could -- 1.1 ::COULD :=Nora: to give me something, you could -- you could -- 1.1 ::COULD :=Nora: You could give me money, Torvald. Only as much 1.1 ::COULD :=Helmer: To be sure it would be, if you could keep what I give you and really buy 1.1 ::COULD :=Nora: You know I could never act against your wishes. 1.1 ::COULD :=Nora: you going to bring that up again? How could I help the cat getting in and tearing 1.2 ::COULD :=Nora: And I didn't recognize you! But how could I -- ? How you've changed, Christi 1.2 ::COULD :=Mrs. Linde: to take care of. I didn't feel I could say no. 1.2 ::COULD :=Mrs. Linde: a little school, and anything else I could turn my hand to. These last three years 1.2 ::COULD :=Mrs. Linde: exercise and occupy my mind. If only I could get a regular job -- office work of 1.2 ::COULD :=Nora: It'd be much better for you if you could go away somewhere. 1.3 ::COULD :=Mrs. Linde: But Nora, how could you? Did you win a lottery or some 1.3 ::COULD :=Nora: one has said I borrowed the money. I could have got it in some other way. I could 1.3 ::COULD :=Nora: could have got it in some other way. I could have got it from an admirer. When a 1.3 ::COULD :=Nora: and that only going to a warm climate could save him. Do you suppose I didn't try 1.3 ::COULD :=Nora: after evening wondering how on earth I could raise some money. But what does it 1.4 ::COULD :=Nora: -- she came her as quickly as she could and -- Torvald, you will, won't you? 1.5 ::COULD :=Nora: mean it like that! I? How on earth could you imagine that I would have any influence 1.5 ::COULD :=Krogstad: explanation to that. Your father could have forgotten to write in the date 1.5 ::COULD :=Krogstad: date when he signed, and someone else could have added it before the news came 2.1 ::COULD :=Nora: Oh, I wish I could tear them into a million pieces! 2.1 ::COULD :=Nora: -- I've so often wondered. How could you bear to give your child away -- 2.1 ::COULD :=Nora: Oh, if only I dared go out! If I could be sure no one would come, and nothing 2.1 ::COULD :=Mrs. Linde: husband had no idea who I was. So how could Dr. Rank -- ? 2.1 ::COULD :=Nora: Are you out of your mind? How could you imagine such a thing? A friend, 2.1 ::COULD :=Nora: No, I could never have dreamed of asking Dr. Rank 2.2 ::COULD :=Nora: newspapers -- you said so yourself. He could do you tremendous harm. I'm so dreadfully 2.2 ::COULD :=Nora: spiteful people may not dig up. We could be so peaceful and happy now, Torvald 2.2 ::COULD :=Nora: peaceful and happy now, Torvald -- we could be free from every worry -- you and 2.3 ::COULD :=Nora: I know -- I really can't say. How could you be so stupid, Dr. Rank? Everything 2.4 ::COULD :=Nora: I've learned more than you could ever teach me. 2.5 ::COULD :=Nora: Oh, how could you understand? A -- miracle -- is 3.1 ::COULD :=Mrs. Linde: Nils, suppose we two shipwrecked souls could join hands? 3.1 ::COULD :=Krogstad: I know I could have. 3.1 ::COULD :=Krogstad: Oh, if only I could undo this! 3.3 ::COULD :=Helmer: my beloved wife -- I feel as though I could never hold you close enough. Do you 3.3 ::COULD :=Helmer: danger might threaten you, so that I could offer my life and my blood, everything, 3.3 ::COULD :=Helmer: that it is true. Do you really think I could ever bring myself to disown you, or 3.5 ::COULD :=Helmer: You have not. What on earth could that be? 3.5 ::COULD :=Nora: neither think nor talk like the man I could share my life with. Once you'd got 3.5 ::COULD :=Nora: -- ! Oh, I can't bear to think of it! I could tear myself to pieces! 3.5 ::COULD :=Nora: That life together between us two could become a marriage. Goodbye. 1.1 ::COULDN'T :=Helmer: No, my poor little Nora, of course you couldn't. You simply wanted to make us happy, 1.2 ::COULDN'T :=Nora: just about then. Wasn't it dreadful, I couldn't go and look after him. I was expecting 1.2 ::COULDN'T :=Mrs. Linde: one to live for any more. That's why I couldn't bear to stay out there any longer, 1.3 ::COULDN'T :=Nora: you about our trip to Italy. Torvald couldn't have lived if he hadn't managed 1.3 ::COULDN'T :=Mrs. Linde: You couldn't have borrowed it. 1.3 ::COULDN'T :=Nora: Torvald likes to live well; and I couldn't let the children go short of clothes 1.3 ::COULDN'T :=Nora: the children go short of clothes -- I couldn't take anything out of what he gives 1.5 ::COULDN'T :=Nora: I couldn't. Papa was very ill. If I'd asked 1.5 ::COULDN'T :=Nora: tell him what the money was for. But I couldn't have told him in his condition that 1.5 ::COULDN'T :=Nora: my husband's life was in danger. I couldn't have done that! 1.5 ::COULDN'T :=Nora: But I couldn't! It was to save my husband's life. 1.5 ::COULDN'T :=Nora: It was to save my husband's life. I couldn't put it off. 1.5 ::COULDN'T :=Nora: I couldn't bother about that. I didn't care 1.6 ::COULDN'T :=Nora: at the fancy dress ball. Torvald, couldn't you help me to decide what I shall 1.6 ::COULDN'T :=Nora: -- ! Poison my home! It isn't true! It couldn't be true! 2.1 ::COULDN'T :=Nora: silly. Of course he won't do anything. It couldn't happen. It isn't possible. Why, 2.3 ::COULDN'T :=Nora: my best and truest friend. Otherwise I couldn't tell you. Well then, Dr. Rank -- 2.4 ::COULDN'T :=Nora: I couldn't stop it, Mr. Krogstad. I did my 2.4 ::COULDN'T :=Nora: to give him the letter. Oh, no, no, it couldn't possibly happen. What'd he doing? 3.1 ::COULDN'T :=Mrs. Linde: We couldn't meet at my place; my room has no 3.1 ::COULDN'T :=Mrs. Linde: care of, and two little brothers. We couldn't wait for you, Nils. It would have 3.1 ::COULDN'T :=Mrs. Linde: Couldn't it still happen? 3.2 ::COULDN'T :=Mrs. Linde: already gone up. And I felt I really couldn't go back home without seeing you 3.2 ::COULDN'T :=Helmer: a temptress, my blood grew hot, I couldn't stand it any longer! That was why 3.4 ::COULDN'T :=Helmer: you into all my worries -- worries you couldn't possibly have helped me with? 3.5 ::COULDN'T :=Helmer: opened between us. Oh, but Nora -- couldn't it be bridged? 3.3 ::COUNSEL :=Helmer: No, no. Just lean on me. I shall counsel you. I shall guide you. I would not 3.5 ::COUNTED :=Nora: wouldn't! But what would my word have counted for against yours? That was the miracle 2.2 ::COURAGE :=Helmer: not find me lacking in strength or courage. I am man enough to bear the burden 2.4 ::COURAGE :=Krogstad: Torvald Helmer to show that much courage -- 2.4 ::COURAGE :=Krogstad: that at first. I did. But I hadn't the courage -- 2.4 ::COURAGE :=Krogstad: It's true, isn't it? You haven't the courage either? 2.4 ::COURAGE :=Nora: Now I have the courage. 3.1 ::COURAGE :=Krogstad: it in your face. Have you really the courage -- ? 3.1 ::COURAGE :=Krogstad: And yet you'd still have the courage to -- ? 1.1 ::COURSE :=Nora: Yes, yes, of course I will. But come over here, I want 1.1 ::COURSE :=Helmer: Of course not. And you've given me your word 1.1 ::COURSE :=Helmer: No, my poor little Nora, of course you couldn't. You simply wanted to 1.2 ::COURSE :=Nora: Yes, of course -- to enjoy yourself over Christmas. 1.2 ::COURSE :=Nora: isn't -- well -- quite nice. And of course Torvald's been very firm about that 1.2 ::COURSE :=Nora: of promotion in his department, and of course he needed more money. But the first 1.2 ::COURSE :=Nora: you know. I'd just had Ivar. But of course we had to do it. Oh, it was a marvelous 1.3 ::COURSE :=Nora: pretty. You mustn't laugh! I mean of course, when Torvald no longer loves me as 1.3 ::COURSE :=Nora: Of course. Well, after all, it was my problem. 1.3 ::COURSE :=Nora: Yes, of course, so he was. 1.4 ::COURSE :=Nora: You'll be coming back this evening, of course. And you too, Dr. Rank. What? If you're 1.4 ::COURSE :=Nora: Rank. What? If you're well enough? Of course you'll be well enough. Wrap up warmly, 1.5 ::COURSE :=Krogstad: It's like this, you see. You know of course, as everyone else does, that some 1.5 ::COURSE :=Nora: my husband hears about it, he will of course immediately pay you whatever is owing. 1.5 ::COURSE :=Krogstad: And of course you posted it at once; for within 1.6 ::COURSE :=Helmer: that the way we want things? Yes, of course it is. So let's hear no more about 1.6 ::COURSE :=Nora: No, Torvald, of course not! 1.6 ::COURSE :=Helmer: It's usually the mother; though of course the father can have the same influence. 2.1 ::COURSE :=Nora: someone coming! No, it's no one. Of course -- no one'll come today, it's Christmas 2.1 ::COURSE :=Nora: letter-box. Quite empty. Silly, silly. Of course he won't do anything. It couldn't 2.1 ::COURSE :=Nora: Yes, of course. I'll go and get Mrs. Linde to help 2.1 ::COURSE :=Nora: No, of course not. I've never for a moment dreamed 2.1 ::COURSE :=Mrs. Linde: But of course you won't. 2.1 ::COURSE :=Nora: Of course not. I can't imagine that it should 2.1 ::COURSE :=Mrs. Linde: Yes, of course. 2.2 ::COURSE :=Nora: Yes, yes. Of course. Just think what those dreadful men 2.2 ::COURSE :=Nora: No, Torvald dear, of course you're not. That's just why -- 2.3 ::COURSE :=Nora: Yes, of course, truffles, yes. And oysters too, I 2.3 ::COURSE :=Rank: Yes, oysters, oysters. Of course. 2.3 ::COURSE :=Nora: it just for you. And for Torvald, of course; obviously. Dr. Rank, sit down here 2.3 ::COURSE :=Nora: It's very dark in here now, of course, but tomorrow -- ! No, no, no; only 2.3 ::COURSE :=Nora: Of course not. You will naturally continue to 2.3 ::COURSE :=Nora: When I was at home, of course I loved Papa best. But I always used 3.1 ::COURSE :=Krogstad: Of course I shall. I shall stay here till Helmer 3.2 ::COURSE :=Helmer: this? It's dark in here. Ah, yes, of course -- excuse me. 3.2 ::COURSE :=Helmer: Yes, my beloved Nora, of course you do! Do you know -- when I'm out 3.2 ::COURSE :=Nora: Yes, of course, Dr. Rank -- you've been carrying 3.2 ::COURSE :=Helmer: Ah yes, of course. 3.3 ::COURSE :=Helmer: just as before. Only appear, of course. You will therefore continue to reside 3.3 ::COURSE :=Helmer: You too, of course. We're both saved, you and I. Look! 3.5 ::COURSE :=Nora: such a sacrifice from you? No, of course I wouldn't! But what would my word 3.5 ::COURSE :=Nora: Yes, of course. I shall often think of you and the 1.5 ::COURT :=Krogstad: It never came into court; but from that day, every opening was 1.2 ::COVER :=Mrs. Linde: It must be lovely to have enough to cover one's needs, anyway. 1.1 ::CRADLE :=Nora: and trumpet for Bob. And a doll and a cradle for Emmy -- they're nothing much, 1.4 ::CRAMPED :=Nora: It's such a nuisance we're so cramped here -- I'm afraid we can't offer 1.3 ::CRAZY :=Mrs. Linde: Nora, you're crazy! 2.4 ::CREATE :=Krogstad: be higher up. Your husband's going to create a new job for me -- 1.1 ::CREATURE :=Helmer: The squanderbird's a pretty little creature, but she gets through an awful lot 1.1 ::CREATURE :=Helmer: You're a funny little creature. Just like your father used to be. 2.1 ::CREATURE :=Nora: poor man. His father was a frightful creature who kept mistresses and so on. As 3.3 ::CREATURE :=Helmer: my poor, helpless, bewildered little creature. Never be frightened of anything 3.3 ::CREDIT :=Helmer: It's so unbelievable I can hardly credit it. But we must try to find some way 1.3 ::CRIED :=Nora: to go abroad like other young wives; I cried and prayed; I asked him to remember 1.5 ::CRIME :=Krogstad: you that it is no bigger nor worse a crime than the one I once committed, and 1.6 ::CRIME :=Helmer: themselves if they admit their crime and take their punishment. 3.3 ::CRIME :=Helmer: of having been an accomplice in your crime. People may think that I was behind 1.5 ::CRIMINAL :=Krogstad: came of his death. There's nothing criminal about that. It's the signature itself 3.3 ::CRIMINAL :=Helmer: hypocrite, a liar -- worse, worse -- a criminal! Oh, the hideousness of it! Shame 1.6 ::CRIMINALS :=Helmer: my work at the bar. Nearly all young criminals are the children of mothers who 1.3 ::CRIPPLE :=Rank: are morally sick, too. There's a moral cripple in with Helmer at this very moment 1.3 ::CRIPPLED :=Rank: -- you wouldn't know him. He's crippled all right; morally twisted. But 2.2 ::CRISIS :=Helmer: will happen, happen. When the real crisis comes, you will not find me lacking 2.3 ::CRITICAL :=Nora: Why are you looking so critical? Don't you think they'll fit me 1.2 ::CROCHETING :=Nora: Yes, little things -- fancy work, crocheting, embroidery and so forth. And 1.1 ::CROP :=Helmer: Look. I know how these small expenses crop up at Christmas. 1.2 ::CROPPED :=Nora: put it off, and something else always cropped up. 1.5 ::CROSS :=Krogstad: cafe down below and I saw your husband cross the street -- 2.3 ::CROSS :=Rank: send you my visiting card with a black cross on it, and then you'll know that the 3.3 ::CROSS :=Helmer: There's a black cross above his name. Look. Rather gruesome, 1.5 ::CROSS-EXAMINE :=Nora: How dare you presume to cross-examine me, Mr. Krogstad? You, one 1.1 ::CROWN :=Nora: HereUs half a crown. No, keep it. 1.3 ::CURE :=Rank: Then I take it you've come to town to cure yourself by a round of parties? 1.2 ::CURED :=Mrs. Linde: And your husband came back completely cured? 1.3 ::CURIOSITY :=Nora: You're dying of curiosity now, aren't you, Christine? 1.5 ::CURIOUS :=Krogstad: confirm it. And that leaves me with a curious little problem -- which I simply 1.5 ::CURIOUS :=Krogstad: the second of October. Isn't that a curious little problem, Mrs. Helmer? Can 1.5 ::CURIOUS :=Krogstad: any explanation? And there's another curious thing. The words "second of October" 1.6 ::CURIOUS :=Helmer: And I'm terribly curious to see what you're going to surprise 2.3 ::CURIOUS :=Nora: Well, it's rather a curious expression. Is something going to 3.2 ::CURTSEY :=Helmer: -- a swift round of the ballroom, a curtsey to the company, and, as they say 3.2 ::CURVE :=Helmer: young shoulders, over this wonderful curve of your neck -- then I pretend to myself 1.2 ::CUT :=Mrs. Linde: bear to stay out there any longer, cut off from the world. I thought it'd be 1.6 ::DADDY :=Nora: gentleman. You hear? Not even to Daddy. 2.2 ::DAMNED :=Helmer: that." I can tell you, I find it damned annoying. If he stayed, he'd make 2.3 ::DAMNED :=Rank: Yes, you're right. Laughter's all the damned thing's fit for. My poor innocent 3.2 ::DAMNED :=Helmer: up and down -- makes you look like a damned Chinaman. I say, that really was a 1.3 ::DANCE :=Nora: when it no longer amuses him to see me dance and dress up and play the fool for 1.4 ::DANCE :=Nora: little baby doll! Yes, yes, Mummy will dance with Bob too. What? Have you been throwing 1.6 ::DANCE :=Nora: you like, Torvald. I'll sing for you, dance for you -- 2.1 ::DANCE :=Nora: to go as a Neapolitan fisher-girl and dance the tarantella. I learned it on Ca 2.2 ::DANCE :=Nora: I'd turn myself into a little fairy and dance for you in the moonlight, Torvald. 2.3 ::DANCE :=Nora: you'll see how beautifully I shall dance; and you must imagine that I'm doing 2.5 ::DANCE :=Nora: I can't dance tomorrow if I don't practise with you 2.5 ::DANCE :=Nora: Play for me! I want to dance! 2.5 ::DANCE :=Nora: of the way. Right to the end of the dance. Promise me you will, Torvald? 2.5 ::DANCE :=Helmer: her way. But tomorrow night, when your dance is over -- 3.1 ::DANCE :=Mrs. Linde: asleep, and the Helmers are at the dance upstairs. 3.1 ::DANCE :=Mrs. Linde: You hear that dance? As soon as it's finished, they'll 3.1 ::DANCE :=Mrs. Linde: Hurry! Go, go! The dance is over. We aren't safe here another 3.2 ::DANCE :=Helmer: for anyone but you. When I saw you dance the tarantella, like a huntress, a 3.2 ::DANCES :=Helmer: Hear that, Mrs. Linde? She dances her tarantella -- makes a roaring 2.5 ::DANCING :=Helmer: But, Nora darling, you're dancing as if your life depended on it. 3.1 ::DANCING :=Krogstad: Well, well! So the Helmers are dancing this evening? Are they indeed? 1.3 ::DANGER :=Nora: the one they told that his life was in danger and that only going to a warm climate 1.5 ::DANGER :=Nora: that my husband's life was in danger. I couldn't have done that! 1.6 ::DANGER :=Helmer: Yes, the children. That's the worst danger, Nora. 3.3 ::DANGER :=Helmer: know, Nora, often I wish some terrible danger might threaten you, so that I could 3.5 ::DANGER :=Nora: of what threatened you -- once the danger was past, then as far as you were 1.5 ::DANGEROUS :=Krogstad: Mrs. Helmer, do you realize this is a dangerous admission? 1.3 ::DANGEROUSLY :=Nora: don't you see? He hadn't to know how dangerously ill he was. I was the one they 1.5 ::DANGEROUSLY :=Nora: you'd put in my way when you knew how dangerously ill my husband was. 1.5 ::DARE :=Nora: How dare you presume to cross-examine me, Mr. 2.1 ::DARE :=Mrs. Linde: But how dare a man of his education be so forwar 2.4 ::DARE :=Krogstad: Oh, yes he will. I know him. He won't dare to risk a scandal. And once I'm in there 3.3 ::DARE :=Helmer: pleases, order me to do anything -- I dare not disobey him. I am condemned to humiliation 3.3 ::DARE :=Helmer: shall be taken out of your hands. I dare no longer entrust them to you. Oh, to 3.3 ::DARE :=Helmer: I hardly dare to. This may mean the end for us both. 3.4 ::DARE :=Nora: yourself a few minutes ago that you dare not leave them in my charge? 2.1 ::DARED :=Nora: Oh, if only I dared go out! If I could be sure no one would 1.3 ::DAREN'T :=Nora: No, I daren't. It's too dreadful. 2.4 ::DARES :=Krogstad: knows what I can do to you, and yet he dares to -- 2.3 ::DARK :=Nora: Aren't they beautiful? It's very dark in here now, of course, but tomorrow 3.2 ::DARK :=Helmer: it's hot in here. What's this? It's dark in here. Ah, yes, of course -- excuse 3.3 ::DARK :=Helmer: loneliness seemed to provide a kind of dark background to the happy sunlight of 1.1 ::DARLING :=Helmer: And I wouldn't wish my darling little songbird to be any different 1.2 ::DARLING :=Nora: it was beastly of me. Oh, my poor darling, what you've gone through! And he 2.5 ::DARLING :=Helmer: but you -- my poor, helpless little darling. Oh, there's just one thing I must 2.5 ::DARLING :=Helmer: But, Nora darling, you're dancing as if your life depended 3.3 ::DARLING :=Helmer: Tonight I want to be with you, my darling wife -- 3.3 ::DARLING :=Helmer: Good night, my darling little songbird. Sleep well, Nora. 1.4 ::DARLINGS :=Nora: Come in, come in! Oh, my sweet darlings -- ! Look at them, Christine! Aren't 1.6 ::DARLINGS :=Nora: nursery. I've a lot to do. Go away, my darlings, go away. No! Helen! Bring in the 3.3 ::DARLINGS :=Nora: Not yet! Goodbye, Torvald! Goodbye, my darlings! 1.3 ::DASH :=Nora: afraid they'll ruin my teeth. But, dash it -- for once -- ! Don't you agree, 1.5 ::DATE :=Krogstad: I left the date blank for your father to fill in when 1.5 ::DATE :=Krogstad: do you by any chance remember the date of your father's death? The day of the 1.5 ::DATE :=Krogstad: could have forgotten to write in the date when he signed, and someone else could 1.5 ::DATED :=Krogstad: But look at this. Here your father has dated his signature the second of October. 1.5 ::DAUGHTER :=Nora: I don't believe that. Hasn't a daughter the right to shield her father from 2.1 ::DAUGHTER :=Nora: But your daughter must have completely forgotten 2.1 ::DAUGHTER :=Mrs. Linde: you do, too. You're not your father's daughter for nothing. But, tell me. Is Dr. 2.5 ::DAWN :=Nora: We'll drink champagne until dawn! And, Helen! Put out some macaroons! 1.1 ::DAY :=Nora: but she'll pull them apart in a few day. And some bits of material and handkerchiefs 1.2 ::DAY :=Nora: on all sorts of extra jobs, and worked day and night. But it was too much for him, 1.2 ::DAY :=Nora: him. I was expecting little Ivar any day. And then I had my poor Torvald to care 1.2 ::DAY :=Nora: and he looks us up at least once every day. No, Torvald hasn't had a moment's illness 1.3 ::DAY :=Nora: more! No more troubles! I can play all day with the children, I can fill the house 1.5 ::DAY :=Krogstad: It never came into court; but from that day, every opening was barred to me. So I 1.5 ::DAY :=Krogstad: the date of your father's death? The day of the month, I mean. 1.6 ::DAY :=Nora: dress ball at the Stenborgs on Boxing Day. 2.1 ::DAY :=Nora: no one'll come today, it's Christmas Day. Nor tomorrow. But perhaps -- ! No. Nothing 2.1 ::DAY :=Mrs. Linde: Does Dr. Rank visit you every day? 2.1 ::DAY :=Nora: Yes, every day. He's Torvald's oldest friend, and a 2.1 ::DAY :=Mrs. Linde: And he comes here to see you every day? 2.1 ::DAY :=Nora: A friend, someone who comes here every day! Why, that'd be an impossible situat 2.4 ::DAY :=Krogstad: I've been thinking about you all day. Even duns and hack journalists have 3.1 ::DAY :=Mrs. Linde: at first, when I was frightened. But a day has passed since then, and in that time 3.2 ::DAY :=Rank: a merry evening after a well-spent day? 3.5 ::DAY :=Nora: to suppose that miracles occur every day. Then this dreadful thing happened to 3.5 ::DAY :=Helmer: I would gladly work for you night and day, and endure sorrow and hardship for your 1.4 ::DAYS :=Mrs. Linde: Yes, we knew each other in the earlier days. 1.5 ::DAYS :=Krogstad: it at once; for within five or six days you brought it along to me with your 1.5 ::DAYS :=Krogstad: your father signed this paper three days after his death. 2.3 ::DAYS :=Rank: patients, Mrs. Helmer. These last few days I've been going through the books of 2.4 ::DAYS :=Krogstad: raising the money during the next few days? 3.3 ::DAYS :=Helmer: been -- oh, these must have been three dreadful days for you, Nora. 1.3 ::DE :=Rank: Oh, I beg your pardon. I seem to be de trop here too. 1.6 ::DEAD :=Helmer: I say that, morally speaking, he is dead. So my pretty little Nora must promise 3.1 ::DEAL :=Mrs. Linde: We have a great deal to discuss. 1.1 ::DEAR :=Nora: Oh yes, Torvald dear, please! Please! Then I'll wrap up the 1.1 ::DEAR :=Helmer: You can't deny it, Nora dear. The squanderbird's a pretty little 1.2 ::DEAR :=Nora: sit here and chatter away like this! Dear, sweet Christine, can you forgive m 1.2 ::DEAR :=Mrs. Linde: I understand, Nora dear. 1.2 ::DEAR :=Nora: -- we really didn't think he'd live. Dear, kind Papa! I never saw him again, Christine. 1.2 ::DEAR :=Mrs. Linde: rest. But now it's over, Nora. My poor dear mother doesn't need me any more; she's 1.2 ::DEAR :=Mrs. Linde: My dear Nora, it's I who should ask you not 1.2 ::DEAR :=Mrs. Linde: My dear -- 1.2 ::DEAR :=Mrs. Linde: Nora dear, you've just told me about all your 1.3 ::DEAR :=Mrs. Linde: Nora dear, you haven't done anything foolish? 1.3 ::DEAR :=Mrs. Linde: But, Nora dear, who was this gentleman? 1.3 ::DEAR :=Rank: No, no, my dear chap, don't see me out. I'll go and 1.3 ::DEAR :=Mrs. Linde: My dear Nora -- ! 1.4 ::DEAR :=Nora: Well, Torvald dear, did you get rid of him? 1.4 ::DEAR :=Nora: Mrs. Linde, Torvald dear. Christine Linde. 1.4 ::DEAR :=Nora: Don't be too long, Torvald dear. 1.4 ::DEAR :=Mrs. Linde: I wouldn't dream of it. Goodbye, Nora dear, and thanks for everything. 1.5 ::DEAR :=Nora: But my dear Mr. Krogstad, it simply isn't in my 1.6 ::DEAR :=Helmer: Oh, my dear, I've come across it so often in my 2.1 ::DEAR :=Nora: Dear old Anne-Marie, you were a good mother 2.1 ::DEAR :=Mrs. Linde: But, my dear Nora, how on earth did you get to know 2.1 ::DEAR :=Mrs. Linde: that was a lucky thing for you, Nora dear. 2.2 ::DEAR :=Nora: Oh, Torvald dear, I've been so longing for you to come 2.2 ::DEAR :=Helmer: My dear Nora, his is the job I'm giving to Mrs. 2.2 ::DEAR :=Helmer: But my dear little Nora, there's a considerable 2.2 ::DEAR :=Nora: No, Torvald dear, of course you're not. That's just why 2.2 ::DEAR :=Helmer: My dear Nora, I forgive you this anxiety. Though 2.3 ::DEAR :=Nora: Dear, dear Dr. Rank, you mustn't die and 2.3 ::DEAR :=Nora: Dear, dear Dr. Rank, you mustn't die and leave 2.3 ::DEAR :=Nora: Helen, bring the lamp. Oh, dear Dr. Rank, this was really horrid of 2.3 ::DEAR :=Nora: Oh, dear, sweet Dr. Rank, I didn't mean that 2.5 ::DEAR :=Nora: What, Torvald dear? 2.5 ::DEAR :=Helmer: But, my dear Nora, you look quite worn out. Have 2.5 ::DEAR :=Helmer: Are you really so frightened, Nora dear? 2.5 ::DEAR :=Nora: do sit down and play for me, Torvald dear. Correct me, lead me, the way you always 2.5 ::DEAR :=Helmer: Very well, my dear, if you wish it. 2.5 ::DEAR :=Helmer: Good heavens no, my dear chap. She just gets scared like a child 3.2 ::DEAR :=Rank: I had to say goodbye. Ah, yes -- the dear rooms, how well I know them. What a 3.2 ::DEAR :=Rank: I can, though, my dear fellow! 3.2 ::DEAR :=Rank: Yes, my dear friend. I have decided that. 3.2 ::DEAR :=Helmer: Goodbye, my dear chap, goodbye. 3.4 ::DEAR :=Helmer: But, my dear Nora -- 3.4 ::DEAR :=Helmer: But, my dear Nora, what on earth has that got to 1.6 ::DEAREST :=Helmer: even in the presence of those who are dearest to him, even his own wife and children! 2.2 ::DEAREST :=Helmer: me. Which is as it should be, my own dearest Nora. Let what will happen, happen. 3.2 ::DEAREST :=Helmer: But my dearest Nora -- 3.4 ::DEAREST :=Helmer: Both yours and the children's, my dearest Nora. 3.3 ::DEARLY :=Helmer: say this to the woman I once loved so dearly -- and whom I still -- ! Well, all 2.1 ::DEARS :=Nora: their Christmas presents, poor little dears. But -- 1.5 ::DEATH :=Krogstad: remember the date of your father's death? The day of the month, I mean. 1.5 ::DEATH :=Krogstad: signed this paper three days after his death. 1.5 ::DEATH :=Krogstad: added it before the news came of his death. There's nothing criminal about that. 2.3 ::DEATH :=Rank: With death on my hands? And all this to atone 3.3 ::DEATH :=Helmer: just as though he was announcing his death. 3.3 ::DEATH :=Helmer: has come between us; thoughts of death and dissolution. We must try and forget 1.1 ::DEBT :=Nora: make much difference whether I was in debt or not. 1.5 ::DEBT :=Krogstad: naming your father as security for the debt. This paragraph was to be signed by 2.1 ::DEBT :=Nora: bosh. When you've completely repaid a debt, you get your I.O.U. back, don't yo 1.1 ::DEBTS :=Helmer: you know how I feel about this. No debts! Never borrow! A home that is founded 1.1 ::DEBTS :=Helmer: borrow! A home that is founded on debts can never be a place of freedom and 1.6 ::DECIDE :=Nora: ball. Torvald, couldn't you help me to decide what I shall go as, and what kind 3.2 ::DECIDED :=Helmer: But what are you going to be? Have you decided that? 3.2 ::DECIDED :=Rank: Yes, my dear friend. I have decided that. 1.1 ::DECORATED :=Nora: children mustnUt see it before IUve decorated it this evening. How much -- ? 2.3 ::DEEPLY :=Rank: That I have loved you as deeply as anyone else has? Was that horrid 1.2 ::DELAY :=Nora: see, and the doctors said we mustn't delay. So we went the month after Papa d 1.1 ::DELICATE :=Helmer: have to tire your pretty eyes and your delicate little hands -- 1.2 ::DELICATELY :=Nora: leave it to me. I'll lead up to it so delicately, so delicately; I'll get him in 1.2 ::DELICATELY :=Nora: I'll lead up to it so delicately, so delicately; I'll get him in the right mood. 2.4 ::DELICATELY :=Krogstad: As delicately as possible. 2.2 ::DELIVERS :=Helmer: once. Find a messenger and see that he delivers it. Immediately! The address is 3.1 ::DEMAND :=Krogstad: I shall demand my letter back. 3.3 ::DEMAND :=Helmer: He can do what he likes with me, demand what he pleases, order me to do anything 1.1 ::DENY :=Helmer: You can't deny it, Nora dear. The squanderbird's a 1.2 ::DEPARTMENT :=Nora: were no prospects of promotion in his department, and of course he needed more 2.5 ::DEPENDED :=Helmer: you're dancing as if your life depended on it. 2.1 ::DEPENDENTS :=Mrs. Linde: And he has no dependents? 1.5 ::DEPENDS :=Krogstad: or not you have a merry Christmas depends on you. 2.3 ::DEPENDS :=Nora: You know quite well how Torvald depends on your company. 2.2 ::DEPRAVED :=Helmer: frightened by the vindictiveness of a depraved hack journalist? But I forgive you, 3.4 ::DESCRIBE :=Helmer: What kind of a way is that to describe our marriage? 3.2 ::DESERVED :=Helmer: a roaring success -- and very well deserved -- though possibly a trifle too 2.4 ::DESERVES :=Krogstad: I'll show him all the respect he deserves. But since you're so anxious to 3.2 ::DESIRABLE :=Helmer: I see. And that makes you even more desirable. Listen! Now the other guests are 3.1 ::DESPAIR :=Mrs. Linde: I know what despair can drive a man like you to. 2.4 ::DESPERATE :=Krogstad: you were thinking of doing anything desperate -- 2.4 ::DESPERATE :=Krogstad: Or anything more desperate -- 3.1 ::DESTROY :=Mrs. Linde: with you, I thought it my duty to destroy all the feelings you had for me. 3.3 ::DESTROY :=Helmer: Oh, Nora, Nora -- no, first let me destroy this filthy thing. Let me see -- 1.6 ::DESTROYED :=Helmer: out of it; and that's what has morally destroyed him. 3.3 ::DESTROYED :=Helmer: Now you have destroyed all my happiness. You have ruined 3.3 ::DESTROYED :=Helmer: whole business as a dream. There. Now they're destroyed. He wrote that ever since 1.5 ::DETAILS :=Krogstad: think you bothered much about the details. So it won't be out of place if I 1.1 ::DID :=Helmer: When did my squirrel come home? 1.1 ::DID :=Helmer: You mustnUt disturb me! Bought, did you say? All that? Has my little squanderbird 1.1 ::DID :=Helmer: Yes, but suppose something like that did happen? What then? 1.2 ::DID :=Nora: true you didn't love your husband? Why did you marry him, then? 1.2 ::DID :=Nora: What did you do? 1.3 ::DID :=Mrs. Linde: Saved his -- ? How did you save it? 1.3 ::DID :=Mrs. Linde: But Nora, how could you? Did you win a lottery or something? 1.3 ::DID :=Mrs. Linde: But where did you get it from, then? 1.3 ::DID :=Nora: Oh? What did he want to talk to Torvald about? 1.4 ::DID :=Nora: Well, Torvald dear, did you get rid of him? 1.5 ::DID :=Nora: I think I did hear something -- 1.5 ::DID :=Krogstad: And if I did? 1.5 ::DID :=Nora: And you did find it. 1.5 ::DID :=Nora: Was to be? He did sign it. 1.5 ::DID :=Krogstad: He did in fact die shortly afterwards? 1.5 ::DID :=Nora: stupid. But -- ? No, it's impossible. I did it for love, didn't I? 1.6 ::DID :=Nora: Did you? Oh yes, that's quite right -- Krogstad 2.1 ::DID :=Mrs. Linde: But, my dear Nora, how on earth did you get to know about such things? 2.1 ::DID :=Nora: Rank -- Though I'm sure that if I ever did ask him -- 2.1 ::DID :=Nora: But I'm perfectly sure that if I did speak to Dr. Rank -- 2.2 ::DID :=Helmer: What did you say? Petty? You think I am petty 2.3 ::DID :=Nora: quite impossible this evening. And I did hope you'd be in a good mood. 2.3 ::DID :=Nora: Why did you smile? 2.3 ::DID :=Rank: What do you mean? Did you know, then -- ? 2.3 ::DID :=Rank: Nora -- Mrs. Helmer -- I am asking you, did you know this? 2.3 ::DID :=Nora: Oh, what do I know, what did I know, what didn't I know -- I really 2.3 ::DID :=Nora: -- I feel the same about Torvald as I did about Papa. 2.4 ::DID :=Nora: I couldn't stop it, Mr. Krogstad. I did my best for you, but it didn't help. 2.4 ::DID :=Nora: How did you know? 2.4 ::DID :=Nora: How did you know? 2.4 ::DID :=Krogstad: Most of us think of that at first. I did. But I hadn't the courage -- 2.5 ::DID :=Nora: one else knows anything about this. I did it entirely on my own. Remember that 3.1 ::DID :=Mrs. Linde: Oh, Nils, did you really believe that? 3.1 ::DID :=Krogstad: Then why did you write to me the way you did? 3.1 ::DID :=Krogstad: why did you write to me the way you did? 3.1 ::DID :=Krogstad: So that was it. And you did this for money! 3.1 ::DID :=Mrs. Linde: because it wouldn't help you even if I did. 3.2 ::DID :=Mrs. Linde: Please forgive me. I did so want to see Nora in her costume. 3.2 ::DID :=Helmer: like a real big human being. I say, did you notice how cheerful Rank was this 3.2 ::DID :=Helmer: I hardly did. But I haven't seen him in such a jolly 3.2 ::DID :=Rank: Indeed I did. Why not? Why shouldn't one make the 3.3 ::DID :=Helmer: for closing my eyes to his faults! I did it for your sake. And now you reward 3.3 ::DID :=Helmer: you everything. I know that what you did you did for your love of me. 3.3 ::DID :=Helmer: I know that what you did you did for your love of me. 3.3 ::DID :=Helmer: true man if your feminine helplessness did not make you doubly attractive in my 3.4 ::DID :=Helmer: Did you expect me to drag you into all my 3.4 ::DID :=Nora: had any opinions but his. And if I did have any of my own, I kept them quiet, 3.4 ::DID :=Nora: taste in everything -- or pretended I did -- I don't really know -- I think it 3.4 ::DID :=Helmer: What did you say? 1.1 ::DIDN'T :=Nora: I didn't find it boring. 1.1 ::DIDN'T :=Helmer: But it all came to nothing in the end, didn't it? 1.2 ::DIDN'T :=Nora: Christine! And I didn't recognize you! But how could I -- 1.2 ::DIDN'T :=Nora: what you've gone through! And he didn't leave you anything? 1.2 ::DIDN'T :=Mrs. Linde: Yes, you spent a whole year in Italy, didn't you? 1.2 ::DIDN'T :=Mrs. Linde: Oh, I see. Didn't he die just about that time? 1.2 ::DIDN'T :=Nora: poor Torvald to care for -- we really didn't think he'd live. Dear, kind Papa! 1.2 ::DIDN'T :=Nora: me! Tell me, is it really true you didn't love your husband? Why did you marry 1.2 ::DIDN'T :=Mrs. Linde: two little brothers to take care of. I didn't feel I could say no. 1.3 ::DIDN'T :=Nora: Papa didn't give us a penny. It was I who found 1.3 ::DIDN'T :=Nora: could save him. Do you suppose I didn't try to think of other ways of getting 1.3 ::DIDN'T :=Mrs. Linde: But didn't your husband find out from your father 1.3 ::DIDN'T :=Nora: so ill -- ! And as things turned out, it didn't become necessary. 1.3 ::DIDN'T :=Nora: to scrape together. Sometimes I really didn't know where to turn. Then I'd sit here 1.3 ::DIDN'T :=Maid: he wants to speak to the master. But I didn't know -- seeing as the doctor's with 1.3 ::DIDN'T :=Nora: I didn't know that Krog -- that this man Krogstad 1.4 ::DIDN'T :=Mrs. Linde: Well, I didn't really -- 1.4 ::DIDN'T :=Nora: What? A big dog ran after you? But he didn't bite you? No, dogs don't bite lovely 1.5 ::DIDN'T :=Nora: But I didn't mean it like that! I? How on earth 1.5 ::DIDN'T :=Nora: I didn't know anyone else. 1.5 ::DIDN'T :=Krogstad: May I ask you a question? Why didn't you send this paper to your fathe 1.5 ::DIDN'T :=Krogstad: But didn't it occur to you that you were being 1.5 ::DIDN'T :=Nora: I couldn't bother about that. I didn't care about you. I hated you because 1.5 ::DIDN'T :=Nora: -- ? No, it's impossible. I did it for love, didn't I? 1.6 ::DIDN'T :=Helmer: here? He asked you to do that too, didn't he? 1.6 ::DIDN'T :=Helmer: Didn't you say no one had been here? My little 1.6 ::DIDN'T :=Helmer: He probably just didn't think -- that's what usually happens. 1.6 ::DIDN'T :=Helmer: But Krogstad didn't do that. He chose to try and trick 2.1 ::DIDN'T :=Nurse: pick and choose. That good-for-nothing didn't life a finger. 2.1 ::DIDN'T :=Nora: Oh, I didn't think it was as nice as usual. You 2.1 ::DIDN'T :=Nora: he hadn't any money to lend then. He didn't come into that till later. 2.2 ::DIDN'T :=Helmer: All right, little silly, I know you didn't mean it like that. But I won't disturb 2.3 ::DIDN'T :=Rank: to happen for a long time. But I didn't think it would happen quite so so 2.3 ::DIDN'T :=Nora: what do I know, what did I know, what didn't I know -- I really can't say. How 2.3 ::DIDN'T :=Nora: Oh, dear, sweet Dr. Rank, I didn't mean that at all. But I'm sure you 2.4 ::DIDN'T :=Nora: But didn't you tell him I had a visitor? 2.4 ::DIDN'T :=Nora: I did my best for you, but it didn't help. 2.4 ::DIDN'T :=Krogstad: No, I didn't really think you had. It wouldn't 3.1 ::DIDN'T :=Mrs. Linde: I didn't know, Nils. No one told me till today 3.2 ::DIDN'T :=Nora: Oh? Was he? I didn't have a chance to speak with him. 3.4 ::DIDN'T :=Nora: Didn't you say yourself a few minutes ago 1.2 ::DIE :=Mrs. Linde: Oh, I see. Didn't he die just about that time? 1.5 ::DIE :=Krogstad: He did in fact die shortly afterwards? 2.3 ::DIE :=Nora: Dear, dear Dr. Rank, you mustn't die and leave Torvald and me. 3.3 ::DIE :=Nora: to shut himself up in his house and die. 3.3 ::DIE :=Nora: When your friend is about to die -- ? 1.2 ::DIED :=Nora: delay. So we went the month after Papa died. 1.2 ::DIED :=Mrs. Linde: was unsound, you see, Nora. When he died it went bankrupt, and there was nothing 1.3 ::DIED :=Nora: No, never. Papa died just then. I'd thought of letting him 1.3 ::DIED :=Nora: Silly! And that now he'd died and when they opened his will it said 1.5 ::DIED :=Nora: Papa died on the twenty-ninth of September. 1.5 ::DIED :=Krogstad: Your father died on the twenty-ninth of September. But 1.1 ::DIFFERENCE :=Nora: that happened, it wouldn't make much difference whether I was in debt or not. 2.2 ::DIFFERENCE :=Helmer: little Nora, there's a considerable difference between your father and me. Your 1.1 ::DIFFERENT :=Helmer: my darling little songbird to be any different from what she is. By the way, that 3.1 ::DIFFERENT :=Mrs. Linde: that with me you might have become a different person. 3.3 ::DIFFERENT :=Helmer: me. Tomorrow all this will seem quite different. Soon everything will be as it 3.4 ::DIFFERENT :=Helmer: romanticize. But from now on it'll be different. Playtime is over. Now the time 3.5 ::DIFFERENT :=Nora: that these things mean something quite different to me from what they do to you. 3.5 ::DIFFERENT :=Nora: I've learned now that certain laws are different from what I'd imagined them to 1.2 ::DIFFERENTLY :=Nora: now on we'll be able to live quite differently -- we'll be able to do whatever 1.3 ::DIFFICULT :=Nora: Well, I can't say exactly. It's awfully difficult to keep an exact check on these 1.5 ::DIFFICULT :=Krogstad: we were speaking about -- that was a difficult time for you just then, wasn't 1.2 ::DIFFICULTIES :=Mrs. Linde: you've just told me about all your difficulties -- 1.5 ::DIFFICULTIES :=Nora: I hated you because of all the beastly difficulties you'd put in my way when you 2.2 ::DIG :=Nora: one knows what spiteful people may not dig up. We could be so peaceful and happy 1.1 ::DIGRESSION :=Helmer: Not a tiny little digression into a pastry shop? 1.1 ::DINING :=Helmer: But there's no need; he knows he'll be dining with us. Anyway, I'll ask him when 1.6 ::DINNER :=Helmer: try to get some of this read before dinner. I'll think about your costume too. 2.5 ::DINNER :=Nora: at once -- we've still time before dinner. Oh, do sit down and play for me, 2.5 ::DINNER :=Maid: Dinner is served, madam. 1.5 ::DIRT :=Krogstad: kick me off that ladder back into the dirt. 3.2 ::DISAPPEARED :=Helmer: in novels, the beautiful apparition disappeared! And exit should always be dramatic, 2.5 ::DISCOVER :=Nora: Yes. And now Torvald's going to discover everything. 1.5 ::DISCOVERED :=Krogstad: Oh? You've discovered that. Yes, I thought you would. 3.1 ::DISCUSS :=Krogstad: Have we two anything further to discuss? 3.1 ::DISCUSS :=Mrs. Linde: We have a great deal to discuss. 2.1 ::DISEASE :=Nora: noticeable. But he's got a terrible disease; he's got spinal tuberculosis, poor 3.2 ::DISGUISES :=Rank: Yes, if the disguises are sufficiently amusing. 1.5 ::DISHONEST :=Krogstad: it occur to you that you were being dishonest towards me? 2.3 ::DISINTEGRATION :=Rank: pretty accurate idea of when the final disintegration is likely to begin. I want 2.2 ::DISMISS :=Helmer: bank already knows that I intend to dismiss Krogstad. If the rumour got about 2.2 ::DISMISSAL :=Helmer: Krogstad's dismissal. 3.1 ::DISMISSAL :=Krogstad: -- I'll say it was only to do with my dismissal, and that I don't want him to read 3.3 ::DISOBEY :=Helmer: order me to do anything -- I dare not disobey him. I am condemned to humiliation 3.3 ::DISOWN :=Helmer: think I could ever bring myself to disown you, or even to reproach you? Ah, 1.6 ::DISSEMBLING :=Helmer: must always be lying and cheating and dissembling; how he must wear a mask even 3.3 ::DISSOLUTION :=Helmer: come between us; thoughts of death and dissolution. We must try and forget them. 3.2 ::DISTRACTINGLY :=Helmer: alone with you. Upon my word, you're a distractingly beautiful young woman. 3.1 ::DISTRUST :=Krogstad: And life has taught me to distrust fine words. 1.1 ::DISTURB :=Helmer: You mustnUt disturb me! Bought, did you say? All that? 2.2 ::DISTURB :=Helmer: didn't mean it like that. But I won't disturb you. I expect you'll be wanting to 1.1 ::DO :=Helmer: up to now; and we shall continue to do so for the short time we still have t 1.1 ::DO :=Helmer: tell me, you little spendthrift, what do you want for Christmas? 1.1 ::DO :=Helmer: Oh, yes, you do. Now tell me, what, within reason, would 1.1 ::DO :=Nora: yes, squanderbird; I know. But let's do as I say, Torvald; then I'll have time 1.1 ::DO :=Nora: Do I? 1.1 ::DO :=Helmer: Yes, you do. Look me in the eyes. 1.1 ::DO :=Helmer: Do you remember last Christmas? For three 1.1 ::DO :=Nora: to tell you what I thought we might do, Torvald. As soon as Christmas is over 1.2 ::DO :=Mrs. Linde: What do you mean, Nora? 1.2 ::DO :=Nora: quite differently -- we'll be able to do whatever we want. Oh, Christine, it's 1.2 ::DO :=Nora: just had Ivar. But of course we had to do it. Oh, it was a marvelous trip! And it 1.2 ::DO :=Nora: How do you mean? 1.2 ::DO :=Nora: What did you do? 1.2 ::DO :=Nora: How do you mean? Oh, I understand. You mean Torvald 1.2 ::DO :=Nora: You mean Torvald might be able to do something for you? 1.2 ::DO :=Nora: in the right mood. Oh, Christine, I do so want to help you. 1.2 ::DO :=Mrs. Linde: What big thing? What do you mean? 1.2 ::DO :=Mrs. Linde: I don't doubt it. But -- how do you mean? 1.3 ::DO :=Nora: Two hundred and fifty pounds. What do you say to that? 1.3 ::DO :=Nora: to a warm climate could save him. Do you suppose I didn't try to think of other 1.3 ::DO :=Nora: That time will never come. Well, what do you think of my big secret, Christine? 1.3 ::DO :=Nora: I managed to get a lot of copying to do. So I shut myself away and wrote every 1.3 ::DO :=Nora: You? What is it? What do you want to talk to my husband about? 1.3 ::DO :=Nora: Do you know that man? 1.3 ::DO :=Rank: Yes, people do seem to regard it as a necessity. 1.3 ::DO :=Rank: You bet I do. However miserable I sometimes feel, I 1.3 ::DO :=Nora: Whom do you mean? 1.3 ::DO :=Rank: Why are you laughing? Do you really know what society is? 1.3 ::DO :=Nora: What do I care about society? I think it's a bore. 1.3 ::DO :=Rank: Do you find that particularly funny? 1.3 ::DO :=Nora: one thing in the world I'd really love to do. 1.4 ::DO :=Nora: and -- Torvald, you will, won't you? Do a little something to help Christine? 1.5 ::DO :=Nora: Oh! What do you want? 1.5 ::DO :=Nora: Well, what do you want here, then? 1.5 ::DO :=Nora: What? No, the strange gentleman won't do anything to hurt Mummy. When he's 1.5 ::DO :=Nora: What do you want? I can't give you anything today 1.5 ::DO :=Nora: What? What do you mean? 1.5 ::DO :=Nora: What do you mean? Who is thinking of removing 1.5 ::DO :=Krogstad: of business you know about. I had to do something; and I don't think I was one 1.5 ::DO :=Nora: All right, do it! You'll be the one who'll suffer. It'll 1.5 ::DO :=Nora: And then we shall have nothing more to do with you. 1.5 ::DO :=Nora: What do you mean? 1.5 ::DO :=Krogstad: Tell me, Mrs. Helmer, do you by any chance remember the date of 1.5 ::DO :=Krogstad: Look, Mrs. Helmer, do you realize this is a dangerous admis 1.5 ::DO :=Nora: You? Do you expect me to believe that you would 1.5 ::DO :=Krogstad: understand something about that? Good. Do as you please. But I tell you this. If 1.6 ::DO :=Nora: Go back to the nursery. I've a lot to do. Go away, my darlings, go away. No! Helen! 1.6 ::DO :=Nora: Christmas tree must be beautiful. I'll do everything that you like, Torvald. I'll 1.6 ::DO :=Helmer: me he'd been here? He asked you to do that too, didn't he? 1.6 ::DO :=Helmer: here? My little songbird must never do that again. A songbird must have a clean 1.6 ::DO :=Helmer: Just something to do with the bank. 1.6 ::DO :=Nora: Mightn't he have been forced to do it by some emergency? 1.6 ::DO :=Helmer: But Krogstad didn't do that. He chose to try and trick his way 1.6 ::DO :=Nora: Do you really believe that? 1.6 ::DO :=Nora: Why do you say mothers? 1.6 ::DO :=Nora: hot it is in here! And I've so much to do. 2.1 ::DO :=Nora: empty. Silly, silly. Of course he won't do anything. It couldn't happen. It 2.1 ::DO :=Nora: Do you think so? Do you think they'd forget 2.1 ::DO :=Nora: Do you think so? Do you think they'd forget their mother if 2.1 ::DO :=Nora: Do you mean you wanted to? 2.1 ::DO :=Mrs. Linde: I'm sure you do, too. You're not your father's daughter 2.1 ::DO :=Nora: unfortunately. But what's that got to do with -- ? 2.1 ::DO :=Mrs. Linde: Oh, stop pretending, Nora. Do you think I haven't guessed who it was 2.2 ::DO :=Nora: Squirrel would do lots of pretty tricks for you if you granted 2.2 ::DO :=Nora: Yes, Torvald, yes, you must do as I ask! You must let Krogstad keep his 2.2 ::DO :=Nora: -- you said so yourself. He could do you tremendous harm. I'm so dreadfully 2.2 ::DO :=Nora: What do you mean? 2.2 ::DO :=Helmer: little Miss Obstinate gets her way -- ! Do you expect me to make a laughing-stock 2.2 ::DO :=Nora: What are you going to do? 2.2 ::DO :=Nora: time. Oh, Torvald, call her back! Do it for my sake -- for your own sake -- 2.2 ::DO :=Nora: for your own sake -- for the children! Do you hear me, Torvald? Please do it! You 2.2 ::DO :=Nora: Do you hear me, Torvald? Please do it! You don't realize what this may do 2.2 ::DO :=Nora: do it! You don't realize what this may do to us all! 2.2 ::DO :=Nora: What do you mean? 2.2 ::DO :=Nora: I shall never let you do that. 2.2 ::DO :=Helmer: imagining things. You go ahead now and do your tarantella, and get some practice 2.3 ::DO :=Nora: He said he'd do it. He will do it. He will do it, and 2.3 ::DO :=Nora: He said he'd do it. He will do it. He will do it, and nothing'll stop 2.3 ::DO :=Nora: he'd do it. He will do it. He will do it, and nothing'll stop him. No, never 2.3 ::DO :=Nora: What do you mean by that? As long as you can? 2.3 ::DO :=Nora: Do you believe that? 2.3 ::DO :=Rank: To do what? 2.3 ::DO :=Nora: No, I mean -- to do me a very great service -- 2.3 ::DO :=Nora: help and advice, and I want you to do something for me. 2.3 ::DO :=Rank: idea what it can be. But tell me. You do trust me, don't you? 2.3 ::DO :=Rank: Nora -- do you think he is the only one -- ? 2.3 ::DO :=Nora: What do you mean? 2.3 ::DO :=Rank: What do you mean? Did you know, then -- ? 2.3 ::DO :=Nora: Oh, what do I know, what did I know, what didn't I 2.3 ::DO :=Rank: me like this. Let me be allowed to do what I can for you. 2.3 ::DO :=Nora: You can't do anything for me now. Anyway, I don't need 2.3 ::DO :=Nora: they never told me what I ought to do; and they were such fun to listen to. 2.4 ::DO :=Nora: What do you want from me? 2.4 ::DO :=Krogstad: you so little? He knows what I can do to you, and yet he dares to -- 2.4 ::DO :=Nora: What do you want from me? 2.4 ::DO :=Nora: What are you going to do with it? 2.4 ::DO :=Krogstad: It'd be a stupid thing to do anyway. Once the first little domestic 2.4 ::DO :=Nora: What do you want, then? 2.4 ::DO :=Nora: He'll never do that! 2.4 ::DO :=Krogstad: And you can't frighten me. People don't do such things Mrs. Helmer. And anyway, what'd 2.4 ::DO :=Krogstad: my hands? Well, I've warned you. Don't do anything silly. When Helmer's read my 2.5 ::DO :=Nora: Come here. Do you see that letter? There -- look -- 2.5 ::DO :=Mrs. Linde: What do you mean? Witness what? 2.5 ::DO :=Nora: Don't go near him. He'll only do something to hurt you. 2.5 ::DO :=Nora: What do you want out there? 2.5 ::DO :=Nora: -- we've still time before dinner. Oh, do sit down and play for me, Torvald dear. 2.5 ::DO :=Nora: me, lead me, the way you always do. 2.5 ::DO :=Helmer: No, no, this won't do at all. 3.1 ::DO :=Mrs. Linde: Do you really think I'm so utterly heartless? 3.1 ::DO :=Krogstad: Wouldn't it? I'd do it all the same. 3.1 ::DO :=Krogstad: What do you mean? 3.1 ::DO :=Mrs. Linde: Why do you suppose I came to this town? 3.1 ::DO :=Krogstad: Christine -- do you really mean this? Yes -- you do -- 3.1 ::DO :=Krogstad: -- do you really mean this? Yes -- you do -- I see it in your face. Have you really 3.1 ::DO :=Krogstad: make the world believe in me as you do! Oh -- but I'd forgotten -- 3.1 ::DO :=Krogstad: my letter -- I'll say it was only to do with my dismissal, and that I don't want 3.1 ::DO :=Krogstad: to risk it. But one thing I can do -- and at once -- 3.1 ::DO :=Mrs. Linde: Yes, do. You can see me home. 3.2 ::DO :=Nora: you, Christine. Now I know what I must do. Ssh! 3.2 ::DO :=Nora: Oh, you're always right, whatever you do. 3.2 ::DO :=Helmer: Yes, my beloved Nora, of course you do! Do you know -- when I'm out with you 3.2 ::DO :=Helmer: Yes, my beloved Nora, of course you do! Do you know -- when I'm out with you among 3.2 ::DO :=Helmer: other people like we were tonight, do you know why I say so little to you, why 3.2 ::DO :=Helmer: just throw you an occasional glance? Do you know why I do that? It's because I 3.2 ::DO :=Helmer: occasional glance? Do you know why I do that? It's because I pretend to myself 3.3 ::DO :=Nora: Torvald, what do you want out there? 3.3 ::DO :=Helmer: What? Do you know something? Has he told you a 3.3 ::DO :=Helmer: I could never hold you close enough. Do you know, Nora, often I wish some terrible 3.3 ::DO :=Helmer: What is this? Do you know what is in this letter? 3.3 ::DO :=Helmer: to stay here and explain yourself. Do you understand what you've done? Answer 3.3 ::DO :=Helmer: what you've done? Answer me! Do you understand? 3.3 ::DO :=Helmer: is completely without scruples. He can do what he likes with me, demand what he 3.3 ::DO :=Helmer: demand what he pleases, order me to do anything -- I dare not disobey him. I 3.3 ::DO :=Helmer: all the years of our marriage! Now do you realize what you've done to me? 3.3 ::DO :=Helmer: you chose the wrong means. But do you think I love you any the less because 3.3 ::DO :=Helmer: Yes, do that. Try to calm yourself and get your 3.3 ::DO :=Helmer: heart will tell you that it is true. Do you really think I could ever bring myself 3.4 ::DO :=Helmer: What do you mean by that? 3.4 ::DO :=Helmer: Serious? What do you mean, serious? 3.4 ::DO :=Helmer: Nora, what on earth has that got to do with you? 3.4 ::DO :=Nora: them. There's something else I must do first. I must educate myself. And you 3.4 ::DO :=Nora: me with that. It's something I must do by myself. That's why I'm leaving you 3.5 ::DO :=Helmer: You're out of your mind! You can't do this! I forbid you! 3.5 ::DO :=Nora: help that. I only know that I must do this. 3.5 ::DO :=Nora: What do you call my most sacred duties? 3.5 ::DO :=Helmer: Do I have to tell you? Your duties towards 3.5 ::DO :=Nora: one. I know most people think as you do, Torvald, and I know there's something 3.5 ::DO :=Helmer: Do you need to ask where your duty lies in 3.5 ::DO :=Nora: quite different to me from what they do to you. I've learned now that certain 3.5 ::DO :=Nora: Yes. I do. 3.5 ::DO :=Nora: The servants know about everything to do with the house -- much better than I do. 3.5 ::DO :=Nora: with the house -- much better than I do. Tomorrow, when I have left town, Christine 3.5 ::DO :=Nora: No. Never. You mustn't do that. 1.2 ::DOCTOR :=Mrs. Linde: But -- the doctor? 1.2 ::DOCTOR :=Mrs. Linde: gentleman who arrived with me was the doctor. 1.2 ::DOCTOR :=Nora: Oh yes, that's Doctor Rank, but he doesn't come because 1.3 ::DOCTOR :=Mrs. Linde: One has to live, Doctor. 3.2 ::DOCTOR :=Rank: best possible finding -- both for the doctor and the patient. Certainty. 1.2 ::DOCTOR'S :=Maid: And the doctor's here too, sir. 1.3 ::DOCTOR'S :=Maid: But I didn't know -- seeing as the doctor's with him -- 1.2 ::DOCTORS :=Nora: and he became frightfully ill. The doctors said he'd have to go to a warmer 1.2 ::DOCTORS :=Nora: we had the money, you see, and the doctors said we mustn't delay. So we went 1.3 ::DOES :=Nora: when Torvald no longer loves me as he does now; when it no longer amuses him to 1.3 ::DOES :=Nora: I could raise some money. But what does it matter? The old bore can stay imaginary 1.3 ::DOES :=Mrs. Linde: He does -- various things now, I hear? 1.3 ::DOES :=Nora: Does he? It's quite possible -- I really 1.5 ::DOES :=Krogstad: You know of course, as everyone else does, that some years ago I committed an 1.5 ::DOES :=Krogstad: The law does not concern itself with motives. 1.6 ::DOES :=Helmer: trouble and needs a man to rescue her, does she? 2.1 ::DOES :=Mrs. Linde: Does Dr. Rank visit you every day? 2.2 ::DOES :=Helmer: My little skylark does that already. 2.3 ::DOES :=Rank: Yes. Does that frighten you? 2.4 ::DOES :=Krogstad: Does your husband love you so little? He 2.5 ::DOES :=Mrs. Linde: Where does he live? 2.5 ::DOES :=Nora: It does. 3.1 ::DOES :=Krogstad: a note from you at my lodgings. What does this mean? 3.2 ::DOES :=Helmer: Oh, already? Does this knitting belong to you? 3.2 ::DOES :=Helmer: Oh, what does he want now? Wait a moment. Well! Nice 3.3 ::DOES :=Helmer: make all the facts public; and if he does, I may quite easily be suspected of 3.3 ::DOES :=Helmer: has changed his life -- oh, what does it matter what he writes? We are saved, 3.4 ::DOES :=Helmer: Nora, what does this mean? You look quite drawn -- 3.4 ::DOES :=Nora: We've been married for eight years. Does it occur to you that this is the first 1.2 ::DOESN'T :=Nora: Oh yes, that's Doctor Rank, but he doesn't come because anyone's ill. He's our 1.2 ::DOESN'T :=Mrs. Linde: it's over, Nora. My poor dear mother doesn't need me any more; she's passed away. 1.5 ::DOESN'T :=Nora: know. Just because one's a woman it doesn't necessarily mean that -- When one 2.1 ::DOESN'T :=Mrs. Linde: me -- is he quite sincere? I mean, doesn't he rather say the sort of thing he 2.1 ::DOESN'T :=Nora: Yes, and who doesn't exist -- unfortunately. But what's 3.1 ::DOESN'T :=Mrs. Linde: herself once for the sake of others doesn't make the same mistake again. 3.4 ::DOESN'T :=Nora: Doesn't anything strike you about the way 1.1 ::DOESNUT :=Helmer: Next year, yes. But my new salary doesnUt start till April. 1.4 ::DOG :=Nora: hot coffee on the stove. What? A big dog ran after you? But he didn't bite you? 1.4 ::DOGS :=Nora: after you? But he didn't bite you? No, dogs don't bite lovely little baby dolls. 1.6 ::DOING :=Helmer: And you were to pretend you were doing it of your own accord? You weren't 2.3 ::DOING :=Rank: haven't you? What was this Mrs. Linde doing here yesterday evening? 2.3 ::DOING :=Nora: dance; and you must imagine that I'm doing it just for you. And for Torvald, of 2.4 ::DOING :=Krogstad: it. So in case you were thinking of doing anything desperate -- 2.4 ::DOING :=Nora: it couldn't possibly happen. What'd he doing? Standing outside the front door. He's 3.1 ::DOING :=Krogstad: Is that why you're doing this? You want to save your friend 3.3 ::DOING :=Helmer: No, don't go -- What are you doing there? 3.5 ::DOING :=Nora: leaves her husband's house, as I'm doing now, I'm told that according to the 1.1 ::DOLL :=Nora: And a horse and trumpet for Bob. And a doll and a cradle for Emmy -- they're nothing 1.4 ::DOLL :=Nora: Anne-Marie! My sweet little baby doll! Yes, yes, Mummy will dance with Bob 3.4 ::DOLL :=Nora: like them. He called me his little doll, and he played with me just the way 3.5 ::DOLL :=Nora: little songbird just as before -- your doll whom henceforth you would take particular 3.5 ::DOLL :=Nora: Perhaps -- if your doll is taken from you. 3.4 ::DOLL-CHILD :=Nora: doll-wife, just as I used to be Papa's doll-child. And the children have been my 3.4 ::DOLL-WIFE :=Nora: but a playroom. I've been your doll-wife, just as I used to be Papa's doll-child. 1.4 ::DOLLS :=Nora: No, dogs don't bite lovely little baby dolls. Leave those parcels alone, Ivar. What's 3.4 ::DOLLS :=Nora: with me just the way I played with my dolls. Then I came here to live in your house 3.4 ::DOLLS :=Nora: And the children have been my dolls. I used to think it was fun when you 1.5 ::DOMESTIC :=Krogstad: I asked whether it was merely domestic unpleasantness you were afraid 2.4 ::DOMESTIC :=Krogstad: to do anyway. Once the first little domestic explosion is over . . . I've got 1.1 ::DON'T :=Nora: Oh, Torvald! Don't say such dreadful things! 1.1 ::DON'T :=Nora: Me? Oh, pooh, I don't want anything. 1.1 ::DON'T :=Nora: No, I really don't know. Oh, yes -- Torvald -- ! 1.1 ::DON'T :=Helmer: assured and that one has ample income. Don't you agree? It's good to know that, 1.1 ::DON'T :=Helmer: I don't have to sit by myself and be bored. 1.1 ::DON'T :=Helmer: to sit by myself and be bored. And you don't have to tire your pretty eyes and your 1.1 ::DON'T :=Nora: No, Torvald, that's true, isn't it -- I don't have to any longer? Oh, it's really 1.2 ::DON'T :=Mrs. Linde: I don't suppose you recognize me. 1.2 ::DON'T :=Nora: not to have to worry about anything. Don't you think? 1.2 ::DON'T :=Nora: only talking about myself. Oh, please don't be angry with me! Tell me, is it really 1.2 ::DON'T :=Mrs. Linde: more; she's passed away. And the boys don't need me either; they've got jobs now 1.2 ::DON'T :=Nora: Oh, please don't be angry with me. 1.2 ::DON'T :=Mrs. Linde: I don't patronise anyone, Nora. But you're 1.2 ::DON'T :=Mrs. Linde: I don't doubt it. But -- how do you mean? 1.3 ::DON'T :=Mrs. Linde: But Nora, I simply don't understand -- 1.3 ::DON'T :=Nora: You don't have to. No one has said I borrowed 1.3 ::DON'T :=Nora: that he mustn't know! Great heavens, don't you see? He hadn't to know how dangerously 1.3 ::DON'T :=Nora: my obligations punctually. In case you don't know, in the world of business there 1.3 ::DON'T :=Nora: it's lovely to wear pretty clothes. Don't you think? 1.3 ::DON'T :=Nora: Great heavens, don't you understand? There wasn't any old 1.3 ::DON'T :=Nora: as far as I'm concerned, because now I don't have to worry any longer! Oh, Christine, 1.3 ::DON'T :=Nora: Oh, Christine, isn't it wonderful? I don't have to worry any more! No more troubles! 1.3 ::DON'T :=Nora: he? It's quite possible -- I really don't know. But don't let's talk about business. 1.3 ::DON'T :=Nora: possible -- I really don't know. But don't let's talk about business. It's so 1.3 ::DON'T :=Rank: No, no, my dear chap, don't see me out. I'll go and have a word 1.3 ::DON'T :=Nora: All right, all right, don't get frightened. You weren't to know 1.3 ::DON'T :=Nora: my teeth. But, dash it -- for once -- ! Don't you agree, Dr. Rank? Here! You too, 1.3 ::DON'T :=Rank: Well, why don't you say it? 1.4 ::DON'T :=Helmer: Christine -- ? Forgive me, but I don't think -- 1.4 ::DON'T :=Nora: Don't be too long, Torvald dear. 1.4 ::DON'T :=Rank: Don't stand here chattering in this drau 1.4 ::DON'T :=Nora: Oh, I wish I'd been there! No, don't -- I'll undress them myself, Anne-Marie. 1.4 ::DON'T :=Nora: you? But he didn't bite you? No, dogs don't bite lovely little baby dolls. Leave 1.5 ::DON'T :=Nora: Yes, she is. But I still don't see -- 1.5 ::DON'T :=Krogstad: Oh, you don't need to play the innocent with me. 1.5 ::DON'T :=Krogstad: about. I had to do something; and I don't think I was one of the worst. But now 1.5 ::DON'T :=Krogstad: You say that because you don't want to help me. But I have the means 1.5 ::DON'T :=Nora: You don't mean you'd tell my husband that I owe 1.5 ::DON'T :=Krogstad: the money to take him abroad that I don't think you bothered much about the details. 1.5 ::DON'T :=Nora: Problem? I don't see -- 1.5 ::DON'T :=Nora: What? I don't understand -- 1.5 ::DON'T :=Krogstad: Mrs. Helmer, you evidently don't appreciate exactly what you have done. 1.5 ::DON'T :=Nora: I don't believe that. Hasn't a daughter the 1.5 ::DON'T :=Nora: right to save her husband's life? I don't know much about the law, but there 1.6 ::DON'T :=Nora: Yes, yes, I know. But don't talk to anyone about the strange gentleman. 1.6 ::DON'T :=Nora: No, no, no; don't let them in! You stay with them, A 2.1 ::DON'T :=Nora: muff. Pretty gloves, pretty gloves! Don't think about it, don't think about it! 2.1 ::DON'T :=Nora: pretty gloves! Don't think about it, don't think about it! One, two, three, four, 2.1 ::DON'T :=Nora: me in Italy; now it's all so torn, I don't know -- 2.1 ::DON'T :=Nora: Oh, don't be silly, Christine -- when one has 2.1 ::DON'T :=Nora: a debt, you get your I.O.U. back, don't you? 2.2 ::DON'T :=Helmer: Don't quibble! You call my motives petty. 2.2 ::DON'T :=Nora: hear me, Torvald? Please do it! You don't realize what this may do to us all 2.2 ::DON'T :=Helmer: you happy now? There, there, there; don't look at me with those frightened little 2.3 ::DON'T :=Nora: out -- ! Dr. Rank -- ! Anything but that! Anything, I don't care -- ! 2.3 ::DON'T :=Rank: I know how he hates anything ugly. I don't want him to visit me when I'm in the 2.3 ::DON'T :=Rank: I don't want him there. On any pretext. I shan't 2.3 ::DON'T :=Nora: Ssh -- don't speak so loud! She's in there! 2.3 ::DON'T :=Nora: Why are you looking so critical? Don't you think they'll fit me? 2.3 ::DON'T :=Nora: Yes, I think you enjoy being with us, don't you? 2.3 ::DON'T :=Rank: can be. But tell me. You do trust me, don't you? 2.3 ::DON'T :=Nora: do anything for me now. Anyway, I don't need any help. It was only my imagination 2.3 ::DON'T :=Rank: Don't worry. He won't get away from me. 2.4 ::DON'T :=Nora: Surely you don't imagine I told him? 2.4 ::DON'T :=Krogstad: Don't worry, I'll show him all the respect 2.4 ::DON'T :=Krogstad: that. I just wanted to tell you, you don't need to take this business too seriously. 2.4 ::DON'T :=Nora: Oh, I don't mean the money I owe you. Let me know 2.4 ::DON'T :=Krogstad: And you can't frighten me. People don't do such things Mrs. Helmer. And anyway, 2.4 ::DON'T :=Krogstad: be in my hands? Well, I've warned you. Don't do anything silly. When Helmer's read 2.5 ::DON'T :=Nora: You don't know what's happened. I've committed 2.5 ::DON'T :=Mrs. Linde: Nora, Nora, you don't know what your saying! 2.5 ::DON'T :=Mrs. Linde: All right. But I simply don't understand -- 2.5 ::DON'T :=Nora: Don't go near him. He'll only do something 2.5 ::DON'T :=Helmer: Now, now, don't get alarmed. We're not coming in; you've 2.5 ::DON'T :=Nora: I can't dance tomorrow if I don't practise with you now. 2.5 ::DON'T :=Nora: anything but me -- today or tomorrow. Don't open any letters -- don't even open 2.5 ::DON'T :=Nora: or tomorrow. Don't open any letters -- don't even open the letter-box -- 2.5 ::DON'T :=Nora: I don't know. I think so. But you mustn't read 2.5 ::DON'T :=Nora: so. But you mustn't read it now. I don't want anything ugly to come between 2.5 ::DON'T :=Helmer: Now, now, now. Don't get so excited. Where's my little songbird, 3.1 ::DON'T :=Krogstad: I don't believe all that. You're just being 3.1 ::DON'T :=Krogstad: good, Christine. I'd forgotten -- you don't know what I've just done to the He 3.1 ::DON'T :=Krogstad: to do with my dismissal, and that I don't want him to read it -- 3.1 ::DON'T :=Mrs. Linde: slip through my fingers. Oh, why don't they come? Ah, here they are. I must 3.2 ::DON'T :=Nora: in here! I want to go back upstairs. I don't want to leave so early. 3.2 ::DON'T :=Helmer: look at her. She's worth looking at, don't you think? Isn't she beautiful, Mrs. 3.2 ::DON'T :=Nora: Don't look at me like that, Torvald! 3.2 ::DON'T :=Nora: Leave me, Torvald! Get away from me! I don't want all this. 3.2 ::DON'T :=Helmer: What? Now, Nora, you're joking with me. Don't want, don't want -- ? Aren't I your 3.2 ::DON'T :=Helmer: you're joking with me. Don't want, don't want -- ? Aren't I your husband -- 3.2 ::DON'T :=Helmer: Well-spent? Oh, I don't know that I can claim that. 3.2 ::DON'T :=Helmer: I agree. Provided you don't have to regret it tomorrow. 3.2 ::DON'T :=Nora: Dr. Rank -- you like masquerades, don't you? 3.3 ::DON'T :=Nora: time comes, it's best to go silently. Don't you think so, Torvald? 3.3 ::DON'T :=Helmer: Oh, don't try to make silly excuses. 3.3 ::DON'T :=Helmer: Oh, don't be melodramatic. Your father was always 3.3 ::DON'T :=Helmer: this filthy thing. Let me see -- ! No, I don't want to look at it. I shall merely 3.3 ::DON'T :=Helmer: It's over!" Listen to me, Nora. You don't seem to realize. It's over! Why are 3.3 ::DON'T :=Helmer: I love you any the less because you don't know how to act on your own initiative? 3.3 ::DON'T :=Helmer: No, don't go -- What are you doing there? 3.3 ::DON'T :=Helmer: again, my frightened little songbird. Don't be afraid. I have broad wings to shield 3.3 ::DON'T :=Helmer: or even to reproach you? Ah, Nora, you don't understand what goes on in a husband's 3.4 ::DON'T :=Helmer: You alarm me, Nora. I don't understand you. 3.4 ::DON'T :=Nora: No, that's just it. You don't understand me. And I've never understood 3.4 ::DON'T :=Nora: you -- until this evening. No, don't interrupt me. Just listen to what I 3.4 ::DON'T :=Nora: everything -- or pretended I did -- I don't really know -- I think it was a little 3.4 ::DON'T :=Helmer: In a moment of excitement. Surely you don't think I meant it seriously? 3.5 ::DON'T :=Nora: with me nothing but what is mine. I don't want anything from you, now or eve 3.5 ::DON'T :=Nora: I don't believe that any longer. I believe 3.5 ::DON'T :=Nora: Oh, Torvald, I don't really know what religion means. 3.5 ::DON'T :=Nora: an easy question to answer. I simply don't know. I don't know where I am in these 3.5 ::DON'T :=Nora: to answer. I simply don't know. I don't know where I am in these matters. I 3.5 ::DON'T :=Helmer: You're talking like a child. You don't understand how society works. 3.5 ::DON'T :=Nora: No, I don't. But now I intend to learn. I must 3.5 ::DON'T :=Helmer: That you don't love me any longer. 3.5 ::DON'T :=Nora: so kind to me. But I can't help it. I don't love you any longer. 3.5 ::DON'T :=Helmer: Explain more clearly. I don't understand you. 3.5 ::DON'T :=Nora: it wouldn't last. Goodbye, Torvald. I don't want to see the children. I know they're 3.5 ::DON'T :=Nora: I tell you, no. I don't accept things from strangers. 3.5 ::DON'T :=Nora: change so much that -- oh, Torvald, I don't believe in miracles any longer. 1.2 ::DONE :=Nora: And you're also proud of what you've done for your brothers. 1.2 ::DONE :=Nora: you something, Christine. I too have done something to be proud and happy abo 1.3 ::DONE :=Nora: here. Yes, Christine -- I too have done something to be happy and proud about. 1.3 ::DONE :=Mrs. Linde: Nora dear, you haven't done anything foolish? 1.5 ::DONE :=Nora: life was in danger. I couldn't have done that! 1.5 ::DONE :=Krogstad: don't appreciate exactly what you have done. But I can assure you that it is no 1.6 ::DONE :=Nora: dreadful, this thing that Krogstad's done? 2.3 ::DONE :=Rank: the way out. And there's nothing to be done about it. 2.3 ::DONE :=Rank: one more test to make. When that's done I'll have a pretty accurate idea of 2.4 ::DONE :=Krogstad: of the gravity of what you've done? 2.5 ::DONE :=Mrs. Linde: Well, I've done the best I can. Shall we see how it 2.5 ::DONE :=Mrs. Linde: Once upon a time he'd have done anything for my sake. 2.5 ::DONE :=Nora: but it's no use. There's nothing to be done now. The letter's lying there in the 3.1 ::DONE :=Krogstad: -- you don't know what I've just done to the Helmers. 3.2 ::DONE :=Helmer: her pretty little heart. What's to be done about that? Would you believe it, I 3.3 ::DONE :=Helmer: them of that habit. Hm, hm. Ah, that's done it. Helen! Helen! Put out the light 3.3 ::DONE :=Helmer: Wretched woman! What have you done? 3.3 ::DONE :=Helmer: Do you understand what you've done? Answer me! Do you understand? 3.3 ::DONE :=Helmer: Now do you realize what you've done to me? 3.4 ::DONE :=Nora: understood me. A great wrong has been done to me, Torvald. First by Papa, and then 3.4 ::DONE :=Nora: how you wanted it. You and Papa have done me a great wrong. It's your fault that 3.4 ::DONE :=Nora: wrong. It's your fault that I have done nothing with my life. 3.5 ::DONE :=Nora: facts to the world." And when he had done this -- 3.5 ::DONE :=Nora: Millions of women have done it. 1.1 ::DONUT :=Nora: this year! ItUs the first Christmas we donUt have to scrape. 1.5 ::DOOR :=Krogstad: I beg your pardon; the front door was ajar. Someone must have forgotten 1.5 ::DOOR :=Nora: of my husband, I shall show you the door. 1.6 ::DOOR :=Helmer: I saw Krogstad come out of the front door. 2.2 ::DOOR :=Helmer: I'll sit in my study and close the door. Then I won't hear anything, and you 2.4 ::DOOR :=Nora: he doing? Standing outside the front door. He's not going downstairs. Is he changing 2.5 ::DOOR :=Helmer: We're not coming in; you've closed the door. Are you trying on your costume? 1.1 ::DOORBELL :=Nora: Christmas is over -- Oh, there's the doorbell. Someone's coming. What a bore. 3.3 ::DOUBLE :=Helmer: that she has become his property in a double sense; he has, as it were, brought 3.3 ::DOUBLY :=Helmer: feminine helplessness did not make you doubly attractive in my eyes. You mustn't 1.1 ::DOUBT :=Helmer: be revealed this evening, I've no doubt, once the Christmas tree has been 1.2 ::DOUBT :=Mrs. Linde: I don't doubt it. But -- how do you mean? 3.3 ::DOVE :=Helmer: I shall watch over you like a hunted dove which I have snatched unharmed from 1.2 ::DOWN :=Nora: cold, are you? There! Now let's sit down here by the stove and be comfortable. 1.2 ::DOWN :=Nora: You all think I'm incapable of getting down to anything serious -- 1.3 ::DOWN :=Nora: have lived if he hadn't managed to get down there -- 1.3 ::DOWN :=Nora: to think of other ways of getting him down there? I told him how wonderful it would 1.3 ::DOWN :=Mrs. Linde: No, I'm just a little run down. 1.3 ::DOWN :=Rank: that an approved remedy for being run down? 1.3 ::DOWN :=Rank: Yes, he's got some kind of job down there. I wonder if in your part of the 1.5 ::DOWN :=Krogstad: Good. I was sitting in the cafe down below and I saw your husband cross the 2.1 ::DOWN :=Nora: to help me with something. Let's sit down here on the sofa. Look at this. There's 2.2 ::DOWN :=Helmer: Yes. Look at these. I've been down to the bank -- 2.2 ::DOWN :=Nora: job if the Ministry hadn't sent you down to investigate, and you hadn't been 2.3 ::DOWN :=Nora: that port and champagne to wash them down. It's too sad that all those lovely 2.3 ::DOWN :=Nora: of course; obviously. Dr. Rank, sit down here and I'll show you something. 2.3 ::DOWN :=Nora: never hesitate for an instant to lay down his life for me -- 2.3 ::DOWN :=Rank: Who would gladly lay down his life for you? 2.3 ::DOWN :=Nora: to think it was terribly amusing to go down and talk to the servants; because they 2.4 ::DOWN :=Krogstad: Under the ice? Down in the cold, black water? And then, 2.5 ::DOWN :=Nora: still time before dinner. Oh, do sit down and play for me, Torvald dear. Correct 2.5 ::DOWN :=Nora: All right. Go and sit down -- and you too, Dr. Rank. I'll be with 3.1 ::DOWN :=Mrs. Linde: as it's finished, they'll be coming down. 3.1 ::DOWN :=Krogstad: I shall stay here till Helmer comes down. I'll tell him he must give me back 3.2 ::DOWN :=Helmer: -- great clumsy needles going up and down -- makes you look like a damned Chinaman. 3.2 ::DOWN :=Helmer: was why I seized you and dragged you down here with me -- 3.2 ::DOWN :=Rank: incredible how much I managed to get down. 3.4 ::DOWN :=Nora: It isn't that late. Sit down here, Torvald. You and I have a lot 3.4 ::DOWN :=Nora: Sit down. It's going to take a long time. I've 3.4 ::DOWN :=Nora: simply saying that we have never sat down seriously to try to get to the bottom 2.2 ::DOWNSTAIRS :=Helmer: once and for all. Take this letter downstairs at once. Find a messenger and 2.4 ::DOWNSTAIRS :=Nora: outside the front door. He's not going downstairs. Is he changing his mind? Yes, 3.1 ::DOWNSTAIRS :=Krogstad: I'll wait for you downstairs. 1.1 ::DR :=Nora: Have you remembered to invite Dr. Rank? 1.3 ::DR :=Nora: Not in the least. Dr. Rank. Mrs. Linde. 1.3 ::DR :=Nora: Oh, really, Dr. Rank. I bet you want to stay alive. 1.3 ::DR :=Nora: something frightfully funny. Tell me, Dr. Rank -- will everyone who works at the 1.3 ::DR :=Nora: so much influence over so many people. Dr. Rank, would you like a small macaroo 1.3 ::DR :=Nora: dash it -- for once -- ! Don't you agree, Dr. Rank? Here! You too, Christine. 1.4 ::DR :=Nora: this evening, of course. And you too, Dr. Rank. What? If you're well enough? Of 2.1 ::DR :=Mrs. Linde: daughter for nothing. But, tell me. Is Dr. Rank always in such low spirits as he 2.1 ::DR :=Nora: kept mistresses and so on. As a result Dr. Rank has been sickly ever since he was 2.1 ::DR :=Mrs. Linde: Does Dr. Rank visit you every day? 2.1 ::DR :=Nora: friend, and a good friend to me too. Dr. Rank's almost one of the family. 2.1 ::DR :=Mrs. Linde: had no idea who I was. So how could Dr. Rank -- ? 2.1 ::DR :=Nora: about them. But I often chat with Dr. Rank about that kind of thing. He enj
