Hannah – Yes…

Elkanah – Hannah, I love you…

Hannah- I love you too

Peninnah – Poor Hannah unable to give Elkanah the children he deserves…

Hannah – I want to…

Elkanah – Why are you sad my dear?

Hannah – O God…

Peninnah – What type of wife are you.. you cant even bare a child.. you’re worthless

Hannah – no…

Penninah – you’re nothing as a wife without children

Hannah – please…

Peninnah – You’re a disgrace to women Hannah…

Hannah – (starting to weep)

Elkanah – Am I not better than 10 sons Hannah? I love you more, care about you more…

Hannah – it’s not enough….

Peninnah – worthless woman

Hannah – STOP! (she gets to her knees weeping) Father, please, please remember me. I have served you with my whole heart. Please God? May I not have a son? Lord I ask, as a woman in anguish… please… give me a son. Peninnah has been so blessed… Oh God what type of wife am I that I can’t bare children?
