In this short scene, Dr. Manette explains that she is worried about her lover, whom she has not seen in a long time. She has lost everything that she has, and she cannot even go to a coffee shop because of the potion. She tells the man that if he feels bad, then he should buy her something. The man tells her that the old woman is over there, and he invites her to come to his house. He tells her to take a look at what he likes, if the woman had not given him the love potion. He says that he helped him pick up his luggage on the crosswalk last year, and gave him the potion as thanks. He asks how to remove its effects, but the man says that it is just a "plain old energy drink" . He explains that he thought if the man who drinks the potion does not sleep with the woman who gave him it, then his sexual urges would not go away. The woman tells him that he is "simply too kind" for her to be so kind. She says that she was tricked into giving the potion to the man, and that the man has just appeared.
