BISHOP. [_Satisfied._] Ah yes, of course. I once learned a Japanese
song. MARTIN. I'm studying Russian. KEN. It's quite a language, dad. It would be easy for you with your knowledge of Greek. BISHOP. Are you studying Russian, too? KEN. Martin's been teaching me a little. I wish I had your linguistic preparation for it. BISHOP. I learned Greek so I could read the Gospels in the original tongue. TIPPY. That's why they're learning Russian. BISHOP. The Gospels in Russian? TIPPY. Saint Marx, Saint Engels, Saint Lenin and Saint Stalin. BISHOP. But--if you mean Karl Marx, he wrote in German. TIPPY. Hitler had him translated into Russian so the Germans couldn't read him. BISHOP. You're a very witty young man. Your sense of humor will save you from any dangerous doctrine. |
