"To lose one parent , Mr Worthing, may be regareded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness." (Lady Bracknell in "The Importance of Being Earnest" von Oscar Wilde)
Algernon: "My dear boy, I love hearing my relations being abused. It is the only thing that makes me put up with them at all. Relations are simply a tedious pack of people, who haven't got the remotest knowledge of how to live, nor the smallest instinct about when to die."
Jack: "Oh, that is nonsense!"
Algernon: "It isn't!"
Jack: "Well, I won't argue about the matter. You always want to argue about things."
Algernon: "That is exactly what things were originally made for."
Algernon: "Oh, I don't care about Jack. I don't care for anybody in the whole world but you. I love you Cecily. You will marry me, won't you?"
Cecily: "You silly boy! Of course. Why, we have been engaged for the last three months."
Algernon: "For the last three months?"
Cecily: "Yes, it will be exactly three months on Thursday."
Algernon: "Bur how did we become engaged?"
Cecily: "Well, ever since dear Uncle Jack first confessed to us that he had a younger brother who was very wicked and bad, you of course have formed the chief topic of conversation between myself and Miss Prism. And of course a man who is much talked about is always very attractive. One feels there must be something in him, after all. I daresay it was foolish of me, but I fell in love with you Ernest."
Algernon: "Darling. And when was the engagement actually settled?"
Cecily: "On the 14th of February last. Worn out by your entire ignorance of my existence, I determined to end the matter one way or the other, and after a long struggle with myself I accepted you under this dear old tree there. The next day I bought this little ring in your name, and this is the little bangle with the true lover's knot I promised you always to wear."
Algernon: "Did I give you this? It's very pretty, isn't it?"
Cecily: "Yes, you've wonderfully good taste, Ernest. It's the excuse I've always given you for leading such a bad live. And this is the box in which I keep all your dear letters. <i>(Kneels at table, opens box, and produces letters tied up with blue ribbon.)</i>
Algernon: "My letters! But, my own sweet Cecily, I have never written to you any letters."
Cecily: "You need hardly remind me of that, Ernest. I remember only too well that I was forced to write your letters for you. I wrote always three times a week, and sometimes oftener."
( Alles aus "The Impotance of Being Ernset")
Und wer jetzt wissen will, ob die Figuren alle 'ne Meise haben und warum sowohl Jack als auch Algernon auch Ernest genannt werden - bitte selber lesen . Ist kurz und lohnt sich wirklich.
