(" I will go now.
") Sharpless finally says, " I will go now.
" Butterfly gives him her hand and this her child ’ s.
Sharpless asks the child his name, and Butterfly answers for him, " Today my name is Sorrow.
But write and tell Daddy that, the day he returns, my name will be Joy.
" Sharpless promises to tell Pinkerton.
Offstage, Suzuki can be heard shouting, " Snake.
Damned toad!
" Suzuki enters, pulling Goro with her, and she tells Butterfly, " He buzzes around, the snake.
Every day he tells the four winds that no one knows who is the child ’ s father!
" Goro explains that, in America, when a child is born with a curse, he will always be rejected by everyone.
In a rage, Butterfly runs to the shrine, seizes the dagger and threatens to stab him, " You are lying!
You are lying!
Say that again, and I will kill you!
" Goro flees.
Suzuki takes the child to the other room.
Butterfly replaces the dagger, goes to her son and says, " You ’ ll see, my darling, my Sorrow.
You will see, your savior will take us far, far away to his land.
