Erzengel/Archangel: "Here is no place for thee!" Mephisto: "I claim my wager!" Erzengel/Archangel: "One Word breaks thy pact!" Mephisto: "Tell me the Word!" Erzengel/Archangel: "The Word that rings joyfully throughout the universe, the Word that appeases every pain and grief, the Word that expiates all human guilt, the Eternal Word... dost thou not know it?" Mephisto: "Tell me the Word!" (appearing in a sunburst...) "Liebe" (Love) (Mephisto shrinks from Erzengel/Archangel, and disappears)
