The two men discuss the proposal. The men are excited about the opportunity to expose themselves to the world of illusion, but they are also worried about what they will be able to do with the money they will make. They are also concerned about what will happen to their family if the proposal does not work out. When the men return to work, they are surprised to find that they have been interrupted by the sound of someone's voice. They realize that it is the voice of the girl they were hoping to see. The girl tells them that she has been hurt in the scuffle. She apologizes and says that she is sorry she did not warn them. She says that her lover has already heard of the proposal, and that he is out of his mind. He says that he has taken the proposal seriously from the beginning, and if things do not go his way, he will take responsibility. He tells the men that he wants to kiss them, but he has been holding himself back. He is worried that they will have to fight him off if they do not leave the room.
