.. I'm in the chair at this
meeting....
FIRE
Who made you chairman?...
WATER (_to_ FIRE)
Hold your tongue!... What are you interfering with?...
FIRE
I shall interfere where I choose.... And I want none of your remarks....
SUGAR (_concilatorily_)
Excuse me.... Do not let us quarrel.... This is a serious moment.... We
must, above all things, decide what measures to adopt....
BREAD
I quite agree with Sugar and the Cat....
THE DOG
This is ridiculous!... There is Man and that's all!... We have to obey him
and do as he tells us!... That is the one and only fact!... I recognise no
one but him!... Hurrah for Man!... Man for ever!... In life or death, all
for Man!... Man is God!...
BREAD
I quite agree with the Dog.
THE CAT (_to the_ DOG)
But at least give your reasons....
THE DOG
There are no reasons!... I love Man and that's enough!... If you do
anything against him, I will throttle you first and I will go and tell him
everything....
SUGAR (_intervening sweetly_)
Excuse me.... Let us not embitter the discussion.... From a certain point
of view, you are both of you right.... There is something to be said on
both sides....
BREAD
I quite agree with SUGAR!.
