Text

Start:

ELING: You shouldn’t have praised me so much in front of the other wives. Second Wife will be fuming for weeks.

TIENG-BIN: But--just looking at you across the dinner table �

ELING: Are you going to make me blush again?

[... ... ...]

End:

ELING: Then can I tell you my secret? (Pause.) I like it. That you come to me -- that you look at me different from the other wives � I like it.

TIENG-BIN: Then look back at me. Don’t avert your gaze, but look me straight in the eye. Watch me, watching you.

David Henry Hwang, Golden Child, Dramatists Play Service, 1999, pp.20-22.
