What a good time he’s having!
DULCAMARA
Mine is the credit…
ADINA
Yours, do you say?
DULCAMARA
all that he has become is my creation.
ADINA
What nonsense!
DULCAMARA
for instance, the powerful elixir used by Queen Isolde.
ADINA
Isolda?
DULCAMARA
Isolda. It’s I who have the secret of the potion,
ADINA
Amazing!
ADINA
Amazing!
ADINA
And that’s the potion you gave to Nemorino?
DULCAMARA
He bought it from me, so he may win the favor of some unfeeling beauty.
ADINA
You mean he loves her?
DULCAMARA
to sacrifice his freedom, and join the army.
ADINA
His was true love, and I despised it.
ADINA
His was true love, and I despised it.
ADINA
Cruel girl, what did I do!
DULCAMARA

What she needs is my elixir!
ADINA
I alone possessed his heart!
