Ella Rentheim. I told you this evening already: You have murdered the love life in the woman who loved you - and whom you also loved. As far as you were capable of loving another person. And therefore I prophesy to you, John Gabriel Borkman - you will never gain the price for this murder. You will never enter your cold, dark realm as a victor!

Borkman (staggering to the bench and collapsing onto it). I almost fear that you are right with your prophecy, Ella.
