WOMAN's voice: you cut your hand! let me see….

JASON
Your eyes are…unbearably dark…

MEDEA
In your arms… that night in your arms, I asked myself: is it love that draws me to infidelity?


JASON
You poisoned me?

MEDEA
Touch my hands.

JASON
Your hands are cold.


MEDEA
No! We don’t kiss strange men!

JASON
Am I a stranger now?
