You crazy old devil!
[RADA _enters with a bowl of water, sets it on a bench and returns to her place_. ARRAM _washes his hands._] MICHAEL My hands want washing, too. O Lord, you've turned the water into wine! Fetch me some fresh. [RADA _approaches, stares at the bowl and moves back, swaying a little, as if faint._] ARRAM [Roughly] I'll empty it. Give it to me. [_He goes out_] NANKO The Old Testament, you know, is full of it. _Who is this_, it says, _that cometh from Edom In dyed garments from Bozrah_? It was blood That dyed their garments. And in _Revelations_ Blood came out of the wine-press, till it splashed The bridles of the horses; and the seas Were all turned into blood. Doesn't that show That man's a fighting animal? MICHAEL [_Goes to the door on the right and tries to open it._] |
