The scene opens with a loud gong. It's the middle of the day, and the two of them are sitting in a restaurant. The two are talking about a ring that they've just given each other. The comic artist is worried that the ring will slip off his finger, and he's worried that it's too big for him. He's also worried that if he drops the ring somewhere, he'll have to pay a lot of money to get it back. He doesn't want his future wife to think that he gave her the ring because he wants her to have a child with him, and that's why he gave it to her in the first place. He tells her that a ring is like a symbol of love, and she should give it to the person she's going to marry. He says that since he is a comic artist , he can't draw with the ring on, and it might slip off. He also says that he'd rather give the ring to a future wife than to himself, because the ring would be too expensive. He asks if she wants to wear the ring, but she says no, and then she says that she'll just have to find a way to wear it. She says that the waiter must have thrown the ring out of the restaurant window
