[Mozart has just seen Salieri's mediocre opera]
SALIERI
Mozart, it good of you to come!
MOZART
How could I not?
SALIERI
Did you my work please you?
MOZART
[hesitantly] I never knew that music like that was possible!
SALIERI
[not fooled] You flatter me.
MOZART
[insincerely] No, no! One hears such sounds, and what can one say but... Salieri!
