(this starts from when Helmer reads the letter...after he's done)


Helmer: Nora!!! (he yells across the hallway for her)

Nora: (walks in slowly) Yes... my love! Here I am.

Helmer : Please explain the meaning of this letter to me now!!

Nora : I can't...it's too much to bear...No matter how much i try, you'll never understand.

Helmer: What is there to understand? Everything is clearly written and explained in the letter! How dare you do this to me?

Nora: (Nora remains silent and speechless. There is nothing she can do or say to spare her from her husbands anger)

Helmer: You weak imbecile! How could you do this to me? My whole career that I've worked for is ruined- because of you. How foolish can you be?

Nora : (weeps in her hands desperately) I'm sorry Thorvald! I did it all for you! I had to! How else would i be able to care for the man i love. I did it all out of my love for you.

Helmer: (looks her in the eye and holds her hand) Nora-Look me in the eyes and tell me why you did it. Why did you forge your father's signature knowing all the consequences that would follow?

Nora: (she grabs his hand and continues to speak to her husband) Thorvald, i borrowed the money from Krogstad.

Helmer: Yes. Yes. Continue, I'm very aware of this.

Nora: I borrowed the money from him to spare your life. Never would i do anything like this for anyone else, only for the one whom I love. Now please, out of your love and compassion for me, please try to understand me. You were sick and there was nothing else I could do. I had no other source of money to save you. I had to find a way somehow and I had to do it soon. I borrowed the money from him and now until this very day, I am still in the process of paying him back. Everyday i do my best to raise money. Why? I do it for the one i love and...

Helmer: (he cuts her off as she is about to finish) Yes my dear. Now I understand and have come to my senses. I'm very sorry if i have said or done anything to upset you tonight. Please forgive me. (He wipes the tears off her face)

Nora : Now do you see why i did it Helmer? All for you. For these past eight years we've been married, everything i have done or worked for has been for you. The least i could expect...

Helmer: (He cuts her off and grabs her. He holds her tight in his arms. Then finally after a long pause he takes her hands and leads her to their bedroom.

THE END!!!!
