This talk. Monsters, both of you. I can't believe I like you both as much as I do. Yseult a little more, of course-- [Wife, he acknowledges this silently by tipping his wine glass in her direction in a sort of salute.] --but even so. Got to be watching my back with you. Her for a staged accident and you for plans to be running away together.
Just break their hearts normally. What's wrong with that.
[ He winks, at plans to be running away together, with shamelessness rooted in certainty he won’t be taken seriously and forced to fight Yseult. ]
Breaking hearts normally takes time, to be convincing. Going from devotion to desertion overnight—half of them will think it is something they can fix if they follow you.
[ He pauses with his wine at his mouth. ]
Perhaps you could think of it as emotional plunder.
[ Logical analogy? No, not really. But they’re all monsters here, is the point. Attractive ones. ]
