(George and Georgiana's luxurious cabin. There's a piano and a couple of evening dresses and jackets. George is sitting in an armchair and smoking his pipe.)
GEORGIANA: ... So, as I've told you, Edward is never going to get married if he keeps employing such an attitude towards women.
GEORGE: Yes, darling. However, there's not much we can do about it. If those are God's ways, we are to accept them peacefully. Have you talked to Martin about it?
GEORGIANA: No, Martin always goes about his business.
(Some kind of uproar is heard.)
GEORGE: You see, one can hardly find a peace of mind even on a ship.
(Little Georgie breaks into the room.)
LITTLE GEORGIE: Sir, ma'am, the ship seems to be going down.
GEORGIANA: Down? What do you mean, little chap?
LITTLE GEORGIE: It is sinking. People are a little bit upset.
GEORGE: Well, how serious is it? Is it going to sink completely?
LITTLE GEORGIE: Well, haven't you heard the sirens?
GEORGIANA: Shall we evacuate?
LITTLE GEORGIE (picking his nose): There's only so much space in the lifeboats. You'd better hurry.
GEORGE: Darling, do you reckon I have time enough to pick at least two of my jackets? A man needs to bring his attire with him all the time.
GEORGIANA: By all means, George. We shouldn't let the situation get out of hand.
