David
I wish you would.
Judith
Outraged.
David!
Sorel
Look here, Father, Mother’s right⁠—here’s the Place de la Concorde⁠—
Simon
Oh, shut up, Sorel.
Sorel
Shut up yourself, you pompous little beast.
Simon
You think you know such a lot about everything, and you’re as ignorant as a frog.
Sorel
Why a frog?
Judith
I give you my solemn promise, David, that you’re wrong.
David
I don’t want your solemn promise, because I knowknow I’m right.
Simon
It’s no use arguing with Father, Mother.
Sorel
Why isn’t it any use arguing with Father?
Simon
Because you’re both so pigheaded!
