Last Post (continuation)

2 days later

there is a knock on the door

Torvald: who could that be? opens the door
Nora: Hello Torvald.
Helmer: Oh Nora, dear! You've come back to be with me!
Nora: No, i still feel the same way as I did 2 days ago. I've come to retrieve the rest of my belongings.
Helmer: Are you sure that's it? I can't believe that that was the only reason you came back.
Nora: Yes, it was. I'm finished with you.
Helmer: But why? All those years of marriage? You just want to throw them away? I only tried to protect you and help you. I didn't want you to have any worries or burdens.
Nora: You might have had those intentions, but you treated me like a fool. You never let me do anything or help with anything. I was completely capable of supporting us, but you wouldn't give me the chance because you didn't believe in me.

Helmer:Nora.. i--

Nora:cuts him off No. I don't want to hear it. I've wasted enough time here talking to you. I'm going to get my things and be on my way.

Helmer: but what about me? The house? The children? Surely you care about the children.

Nora: I do care of them. Which is why I'm leaving, you said yourself, a liar shouldn't be around children raising them. I wouldn't want to corrupt them.

Helmer: I didn't mean it like that... not towards you...

Nora: No, no. I know what you meant and how you meant it.

Nora goes through the back door where the rest of her stuff is

Helmer: Oh what am I to do...

Nora comes back in the room with a suitcase in each hand

Nora: Goodbye Torvald, this is the last I shall be seeing you for a while.

Helmer: Goodbye...I will think of you everyday. I will find you, when you're ready.

Nora exits the room, leaving Torvald standing alone
