 Oscar: Andre... Andre, 
        what in the world....
 [Oscar goes to her mother's room, 
        and on the following page collapses in her arms, saying, "I'm not 
        my father's doll -- neither male nor female....all the years I've followed 
        the martial path, and now he wants me to get married and return to being 
        a woman! He seems to have forgotten that I have a heart...." Her mother explains that her 
        father hopes that by making her into a woman again Oscar might escape 
        certain death in the coming revolution. When asked if she will agree to 
        the marriage, Oscar replies, "I don't know, I just don't know."]
