（The couples fall aside。 Stephen whirls giddily。 Room whirls back。 Eyes closed； he totters。 Red rails fly spacewards。 Stars all around suns turn roundabout。 Bright midges dance on wall。 He stops dead。）
STEPHEN Ho！
（Stephen's mother； emaciated； rises stark through the floor in leper grey with a wreath of faded orange blossoms and a torn bridal veil； her face worn and noseless； green with grave mould。 Her hair is scant and lank。 She fixes her bluecircled hollow eyesockets on Stephen and opens her toothless mouth uttering a silent word。 A choir of virgins and confessors sing voicelessly。）
THE CHOIR
Liliata rutilantium te confessorum。。。
Iubilantium te virginum。。。
（From the top of a tower Buck Mulligan； in particoloured jester's dress of puce and yellow and clown's cap with curling bell； stands gaping at her； a smoking buttered split scone in his hand。）
BUCK MULLIGAN She's beastly dead。 The pity of it！ Mulligan meets the afflicted mother。 （He upturns his eyes。） Mercurial Malachi。
THE MOTHER （With the subtle smile of death's madness。） I was once the beautiful May Goulding。 I am dead。
STEPHEN （Horrorstruck。） Lemur； who are you？ What bogey man's trick is this？
BUCK MULLIGAN （Shakes his curling capbell。） The mockery of it！ Kinch killed her dogsbody bitchbody。 She kicked the bucket。 （Tears of molten butter fall from his eyes into the scone。） Our great sweet mother！ Epi oinopa ponton。
THE MOTHER （es nearer； breathing upon him softly her breath of wetted ashes。） All must go through it； Stephen。 More women than men in the world。 You too。 Time will e。
STEPHEN （Choking with fright； remorse and horror。） They said I killed you； mother。 He offended your memory。 Cancer did it； not I。 Destiny。
THE MOTHER （A green rill of bile trickling from a side of her mouth。） You sang that song to me。 Love's bitter mystery。
STEPHEN （Eagerly。） Tell me the word； mother； if you know now。 The word known to all men。
THE MOTHER Who saved you the night you jumped into the train at Dalkey with Paddy Lee？ Who had pity for you when you were sad among the strangers？ Prayer is all powerful。 Prayer for the suffering souls in the Ursuline manual； and forty days' indulgence。 Repent； Stephen。
STEPHEN The ghoul！ Hyena！
THE MOTHER I pray for you in my other world。 Get Dilly to make you that boiled rice every night after your brain work。 Years and years I loved you； O my son； my firstborn； when you lay in my womb。
ZOE （Fanning herself with the grate fan。） I'm melting！
FLORRY （Points to Stephen） Look！ He's white。
BLOOM （Goes to the window to open it more。） Giddy。
THE MOTHER （With smouldering eyes。） Repent！ O； the fire of hell！
STEPHEN （Panting。） The corpsechewer！ Raw head and bloody bones！
THE MOTHER （Her face drawing near and nearer； sending out an ashen breath。） Beware！ （She raises her blackened； withered right arm slowly towards Stephen's breast with outstretched fingers。） Beware！ God's hand！ （A green crab with malignant red eyes sticks deep its grinning claws in Stephen's heart。）
STEPHEN （Strangled with rage。） Shite！ （His features grow drawn and grey and old。）
BLOOM （At the window。） What？
STEPHEN Ah non； par exemple！ The intellectual imagination！ With me all or not at all。 Non serviam！
FLORRY Give him some cold water。 Wait。 （She rushes out。）
THE MOTHER （Wrings her hands slowly； moaning desperately。） O Sacred Heart of Jesus； have mercy on him！ Save him from hell； O divine Sacred Heart！
STEPHEN No！ No！ No！ Break my spirit all of you if you can！ I'll bring you all to heel！
THE MOTHER （In the agony of her deathrattle。） Have mercy on Stephen； Lord； for my sake！ Inexpressible was my anguish when expiring with love； grief and agony on Mount Calvary。
STEPHEN Nothung！
（He hits his ashplant high with both hands and smashes the chandelier。 Time's livid final flame leaps and； in the following darkness； ruin of all space； shattered glass and toppling masonry。）
THE GASJET Pwfungg！
BLOOM Stop！
LYNCH （Rushes forward and seizes Stephen's hand。） Here！ Hold on！ Don't run amok！
BELLA Police！
（Stephen； abandoning his ashplant； his head and arms thrown back stark； beats the ground and flees from the room past the whores at the door。）
BELLA （Screams。） After him！
（The two whores rush to the halldoors。 Lynch and Kitty and Zoe stampede from the room。 They talk excitedly。 Bloom follows； returns。）
THE WHORES （Jammed in the doorway； pointing。） Down there。
ZOE （Pointing。） There。 There's something up。
BELLA Who pays for the lamp？ （She seizes Bloom's coattail。） There。 You were with him。 The lamp's broken。
BLOOM （Rushes to the hall； rushes back。） What lamp； woman？
A WHORE He tore his coat。
BELLA （Her eyes hard with anger and cupidity； points。） Who's to pay for that？ Ten Shillings。 You're a witness。
BLOOM （Snatches up Stephen's ashplant。） Me？ Ten shillings？ Haven't you lifted enough off him？ Didn't he。。。
BELLA （Loudly。） Here； none of your tall talk。 This isn't a brothel。 A ten shilling house。
BLOOM （His hand under the lamp； pulls the chain。 Pulling； the gasjet lights up a crushed mauve purple shade。 He raises the ashplant。） Only the chimney's broken。 Here is all he。。。
BELLA （Shrinks back and screams。） Jesus！ Don't！
BLOOM （Warding off a blow。） To show you how he hit the paper。 There's not a sixpenceworth of damage done。 Ten shillings！
FLORRY （With a glass of water enters。） Where is he？
BELLA Do you want me to call the police？
BLOOM O； I know。 Bulldog on the premises。 But he's a Trinity student。 Patrons of your establishment。 Gentlemen that pay the rent。 （He makes a masonic sign。） Know what I mean？ Nephew of the vice…chancellor。 You don't want a scandal。
BELLA （Angrily。） Trinity！ ing down here ragging after the boat races and paying nothing。 Are you my mander here？ Where is he？ I'll charge him。 Disgrace him； I will。 （She shouts。） Zoe！ Zoe！
BLOOM （Urgently。） And if it were your own son in Oxford！ （Warningly。） I know。
BELLA （Almost speechless。） Who are you incog？
ZOE （In the doorway。） There's a row on。
BLOOM What？ Where？ （He throws a shilling on the table and shouts。） That's for the chimney。 Where？ I need mountain air。 （He hurries out through the hall。 The whores point。 Florry follows； spilling water from her tilted tumbler。 On the doorstep all the whores clustered talk volubly； pointing to the right where the fog has cleared off From the left arrives a jingling hackney car。 It slows to in front of the house。 Bloom at the halldoor perceives Corny Kelleher who is about to dismount from the car with two silent lechers。 He averts his face。 Bella from within the hall uses on her whores。 They blow ickylickysticky yumyum kisses。 Corny Kelleher replies with a ghostly lewd smile。 The silent lechers turn to pay the jarvey。 Zoe and Kitty still point right。 Bloom； parting them swiftly； draws his caliph's hood and poncho and hurries down the steps with sideways face。 Incog Haroun al Baschid； he flits behind the silent lechers and hastens on by the railings with fleet step of a pard strewing the drag behind him； torn envelopes drenched in aniseed。 The ashplant marks his stride。 A pack of bloodhounds； led by Hornblower of Trinity brandishing a dogwhip in tallyho cap and an old pair of grey trousers； follows from far； picking up the scent； nearer； baying； panting； at fault； breaking away； throwing their tongues； biting his heels； leaping at his tail。 He walks； runs； zigzags； gallops； lugs laid back。 He is pelted with gravel； cabbagestumps； biscuitboxes； eggs； potatoes； dead codfish； womans slipperslappers。 After him； freshfound； the hue and cry zigzag gallops in hot pursuit of follow my leader： 65 C 66 C night watch； John Henry Menton； Wisdom Hely； V。B。 Dillon； Councillor Nannetti； Alexander Keyes； Larry O'Rourke； Joe Cuffe； Mrs O'Dowd Pisser Burke； The Nameless One； Mrs Riordan； The Citizen； Garryowen； Whatdoyoucallhim； Strangeface； Fellowthatslike； Sawhimbefore； Chapwith； Chris Callinan； sir Charles Cameron； Benjamin Dollard； Lenehan； Bartell d'Arcy； Joe Hynes； red Murray； editor Brayden； T。M。 Healy； Mr Justice Fitzgibbon； John Howard Parnell； the reverend Tinned Salmon； Professor Joly； Mrs Breen； Denis Breen； Theodore Purefoy； Mina Purefoy； the Westland Row postmistress； C。P。 M'Coy； friend of Lyons； Hoppy Holohan； man in the street； other man in the street； Footballboots； pugnosed driver rich protestant lady； Davy Byrne； Mrs Ellen M'Guinness； Mrs Joe Gallaher George Lidwell； Jimmy Henry on corns； Superintendent Laracy； Father Cowley； Crofton out of the Collector Generals； Dan Dawson； dental surgeon Bloom with tweezers； Mrs Bob Doran； Mrs Kennefick； Mrs Wyse Nolan； John Wyse Nolan； handsomemamedwomanrubbed againstwidebehindinClonskeatram； the bookseller of Sweets of Sin； Miss Dubedatandshedidbedad； Mesdames Gerald and Stanislaus Moran of Roebuck； the managing clerk of Drimmies colonel Hayes； Mastiansky； Citron； Penrose； Aaron Figatner； Moses Herzog； Michael E。 Geraghty； Inspector Troy； Mrs Galbraith； the constable off Eccles Street corner old doctor Brady with stethoscope； the mystery man on the beach； a retriever Mrs Miriam Dandrade and all her lovers。
