Nora: I am leaving you and never coming back. Goodbye.
Helmer: No! You can't leave! Please Nora don't, think about the children!

Helmer: Just what I thought, now you better apologize for what you just did and for what you just said to me.
Nora: Ok I'm sorry just please don't let me go to jail!

     The two characters in the picture are Helmer and Nora. In the picture I think that Helmer and Nora are talking about money.  Helmer says, "Has the little spendthrift been out throwing money around again?"   He wants Nora to be careful with how she spends money.   He insults her and finds her behavior intolerable.  "Are your scatterbrains off again?"   He is concerned if he should lose his job they will not be able to pay their bills and they will go into debt.   He then starts to basically say she does not know how to handle money because she is a woman.  He says, "Nora, Nora, how like a woman!"  Nora just blows him off saying "Yes, whatever you say Torvald."
 
     Nora continues to beg for money.  This conversation goes back and forth.  At one point Helmer says her way with money is hereditary but he continues to treat her like a little plaything calling her "my sweet little lark".   He treats her with reproach, scolding her like a parent would scold a child, he accuses her of eating sweets, macaroons.  She lies that she hasn't eaten them.  "No, Torvald, I assure you, really - "  The whole scene is like a dad talking to his little girl.  He treats her like a child that needs to be scolded.
