STARBUCK Well, stay and talk. It’s lonely out here. Now, what are you so afraid of? LIZZIE You! I don’t trust you! STARBUCK Why? What don’t you trust about me? LIZZIE Everything! The way you talk, the way you brag—why, even your name! STARBUCK What’s wrong with my name? LIZZIE It sounds fake! It sounds like you made it up! STARBUCK Well, you’re darn right. I did make it up! You know what name I was born with? Smith, for the love of Mike, Smith! What kind of handle for a fella like me? No, I needed a name with the whole sky in it. And the power of a man! Star—buck! Now that’s a name—and it’s mine! LIZZIE No it’s not. You were born Smith—now that’s your name. STARBUCK You’re wrong Lizzie! The name you choose for yourself is more your won than the one you’re born with! And if I were you then I’d sure choose another name than Lizzie! LIZZIE Thank you—I’m very pleased with it. STARBUCK Oh no you’re not! You’re not pleased with anything about yourself. And I am sure you are not pleased with “Lizzie.” LIZZIE I don’t ask you to be pleased with it, Starbuck. I am! STARBUCK Lizzie? It doesn’t stand for anything! LIZZIE It stands for me! Me! I’m not the Queen of Sheba—I’m not Lady Godiva—I’m not Cinderella at the ball! STARBUCK Would you like to be? LIZZIE Starbuck, you’re ridiculous! STARBUCK Now, hold on one little minute! Now, I have got the greatest name for you. The greatest name! Just listen! Melisande! LIZZIE I don’t like it. STARBUCK Well, that’s because you don’t know anything about her! But when I tell you who she was—oh, lady, when I tell you who she was! LIZZIE Who? STARBUCK Why, she was the most beautiful—she was the beautiful wife of King Hamlet! You ever hear of him? LIZZIE Go on, Starbuck, Go on.
