MARIANNE
 
Oh! Oh, how wonderful!
 
PETER
 
Wonderful?
 
MARIANNE
 
Oh, but it must be! It simply must!
 
PETER
 
I wonder.
 
MARIANNE
 
Pish-posh! Look at the box that it's in! 
 
A bright red wooden box! Whatever
 
comes in a bright red wooden box
 
is simply bound to be wonderful.
 
PETER
 
I wonder.
 
MARIANNE
 
Open the box! Turn the wheel! Turn the wheel! Open the box!
