(Polina and Dorn enter.)
POLINA: They're almost ready to go, if anyone wants to say goodbye.
SORIN: Well, I don't want them to leave without saying goodbye.
POLINA: Ilya is bringing the carriage around.
(Sorin, Medvedenko and Polina exit; Nina and Dorn remain.)
DORN: You're not going to say goodbye?
NINA: In a minute. You?
DORN: I hate goodbyes.
NINA: I should apologize about what I said to you. I have no right to judge anyone. It's all I can do to manage my own life.
DORN: Apology accepted -- but I didn't hold it against you. You were angry.
NINA: Yes, I was. I'm terrified about going to Moscow.
DORN: I know. But I do think it's necessary, if you want to be an actress. An artist. The first rule, Nina, is not to listen to people like me. You have to be driven.
NINA: Good. Because I feel like I am. Sometimes I feel like I'm standing to one side, watching myself do things that amaze me.
DORN: You probably will become a great actress.
NINA: I have to try!
DORN: Good luck to you.
NINA: You sound like you're saying goodbye.
DORN: I am, aren't I?
NINA: Yes. I guess you are.
DORN: I'll be looking for your name in the papers.
NINA: Goodbye.
(Dorn watches her go. He turns to the audience.)
DORN: She's going after Trigorin, I expect. To tell him she's following him to Moscow. Youth is so impulsive. But I envy him, in a way, because that kind of energy can be catching. So nice to be around. Well. I won't bore you by complaining. Well, I need a drink.
