- Dalands jolly monologue when he brings the Dutchman home, which basically amounts to "Heres that stranger who is very rich, hell be living here now, and oh, Senta, would you do me a favor and agree to marry him?" towards Senta and "She is the wife you need, right? Right?" towards the Dutchman. Bonus point is that both Senta and the Dutchman are far too busy being locked in their Held Gaze to listen (which Daland doesnt notice for several minutes).
