In this short scene, the two young men discuss their mutual dislike for one another. The narrator asks the two men why they are so jealous of one another, and the men reply that they are enemies and that they love to act together in the same play. The two men then begin to argue about whether or not they should compromise and apologize if they get into a fight. The men then discuss their first meeting, which took place when they were both students at the same university. The young men remember that they both signed up to study acting because they were interested in it, and that it was their love for each other that made them want to pursue their studies.
