comes down into position. VANDERGELDER is seated on stool.<br />
VANDERGELDER<br />
(Talking to himself)<br />
....And....and I wouldn't marry you, <strong>Dolly</strong> Levi, if you were the last woman on earth. Not if you asked me a<br />
million times. I didn't need you before and I don't need you now. <strong>Dolly</strong> Levi, you go your way....<br />
(He points)<br />
....And I'll go mine.<br />

BARNABY<br />

Aha! Another one come crawling, is it? What do you want?<br />
BARNABY<br />
My back salary for the past four months....Six dollars and twelve cents.<br />
VANDERGELDER<br />
You can't do this to me, any of you! I'll go to the courts! I'll get lawyers? I'll.....I’ll....<br />
