    B: (To D.) When the warning bell goes off, will you really not climb into the box but yell?
    D: (Holding E 'S hand.) Yes, that's right.
    C: (To D.) You there, how could you be so bullheaded? You should say you may and you may not at the same time.
    B: The others will catch you and take you to the captain.
    D: I will see him and give everything back to him.
    A: He'll toss you into the sea.
    D: If he wants, I'll give even myself. (Pointing at E.) Even if I die in the water, it's enough if I could have her eternal love. (To E.) Do you love me?
    E: (She flips her hands but becomes still again.)
    C: (To D.) Do you have something you can give me, too? Don't just give all to the captain. For example, the captain must have tens of bags like yours, but I don't have any. When we get to New Land of Desire, it'll come in handy.
    D: I'll give you my bag. (D gives his bag to c.) Since I'm giving away the sun to him, I'm sure no one will chastise me for missing a bag.
    C: That's so right. (He takes the bag.) Thank you so much. But, it's more worn out than I thought.
    A: I would appreciate it if you could give me something, too. The captain must have hundreds of shoes, but I only have these old ones. Your shoes are very shiny.
    D: (He gives A his shoes and stands barefooted.) I'm sure he'll not reprimand me for missing a pair of shoes. Since I'll give him the sun.
    A: (He takes the shoes.) Yes, of course, of course.
    B: (To D.) The captain must have thousands of nice clothes, but I have only these old and tattered ones on my back. My wife is waiting for me at the port of the paradise, but I am ashamed to be seen in these.
    D: What would you want me to do?
    B: Let's exchange our clothes. Yours look new. At the paradise, I'd need better clothes.
