The scene opens with a conversation between a teacher and a student. The teacher tells the student that she has been practicing sex with him and that she likes the place very much. She tells him that she is going out with an angry man and that he is upset because she has made him go out with angry people before. She says that she does not know what she has said, but that she cannot express what she is feeling. She asks the teacher if he has been trying to say too well, and the teacher says that he has tried to express what he is feeling, but he has not been able to express it well enough. He tells her that he gave his lover a cheap ring and all he said was that the ring he wanted to replace soon. He says that his lover is older than him, so he had been saving more money than her, and she had wanted to give him something more suitable. He asks her if she has discussed the lost ring with him, but she says she has not, and that her lover has said nothing about it. She adds that she had not wanted him to say that he could re-place the ring because she did not want him to do so. She then tells the teacher that the teacher has been teaching for fourteen years, and he is able to speak out loud and boldly. He does not seem to be good at it, she says.
