Q

J: …skin, do I?

A

It’s just that - it seems to be changing colour all the time. It’s going green. It’s hardening as well.

Q

J: …being misanthropic.

A

You’re probably still angry with me over our silly quarrel yesterday. I admit it was my fault. That’s why I came to say I was sorry.

A

I’m sure you’re right. But I feel you’re passing through a moral crisis. You mustn’t excite yourself, it’s bad for you.

I promised you to turn over a new leaf. I take notice when friends like you give me advice. And I never feel humiliated - on the contrary.

Do you know what’s happened to Boeuf? He’s turned into a rhinoceros.

Q

A

He’s turned into a rhinoceros.

22
Q

J: Brrr!

A

Come on, now, stop joking.

23
Q

J: …my own house.

A

I didn’t say you couldn’t.

24
Q

J: …cool myself down.

A

He must have a fever.

25
Q

J: Brrr!

A

He’s got the shivers. I’m jolly well going to phone the doctor.

26
Q

J: …just disguised.

A

He looked very serious about it, I assure you.

27
Q

J: …that’s his business.

A

I’m sure he didn’t do it on purpose. He didn’t want to change.

28
Q

J: How do you know?

A

Well, everything led one to suppose so.

29
Q

J: …it on purpose?

A

I’d be very surprised. At any rate, Mrs Boeuf didn’t seem to know about it.

30
Q

J: …just a fool!

A

Well, fool or no fool…

31
Q

J: …he was up to.

A

You’re wrong there, Jean - it was a very united family.

32
Q

J: …Hum, hum, brrr!

A

Very united. And the proof is that-

33
Q

J: …kept to himself.

A

I shouldn’t make you talk, it seems to upset you.

34
Q

J: …it relaxes me.

A

Even so, let me call the doctor, I beg you.

35
Q

J: …better for it.

A

How can you say a thing ilke that? Surely you don’t think - ?

36
Q

J: …extraordinary in that.

A

There’s nothing extraordinary in it, but I doubt if it gave him much pleasure.

37
Q

J: And why not, pray?

A

It’s hard to say exactly why; it’s just something you feel.

38
Q

J: …life as we have.

A

As long as they don’t destroy ours in the process. You must admit the difference in mentality.

39
Q

J: …life is superior?

A

Well, at any rate, we have our own moral standards which I consider incompatible with the standards of these animals.

40
Q

J: …moral standards.

A

What would you put in their place?

41
Q

J: Nature!

A

Nature?

42
Q

J: …Morality’s against Nature.

A

Are you suggesting we replace our moral laws by the law of the jungle?

43
Q

J: …suit me fine.

A

You say that. But deep down, no one-

44
Q

J: …primeval integrity

A

I don’t agree with you at all.

45
Q

J: I can’t breathe.

A

Just think a moment. You must admit that we have a philosophy that animals don’t share, and an irreplaceable set of values which it’s taken centuries of human civilisation to build up.

46
Q

J: …we’ll be better off.

A

I know you don’t mean that seriously. You’re joking! It’s just poetic fancy.

47
Q

J: Brrr! (2)

A

I’d never realised you were a poet.

48
Q

J: Brrr! (3)

A

That’s not what you believe fundamentally - I know you too well. You know as well as I do that mankind -

49
Q

J: …about mankind!

A

I mean the human individual, humanism.

50
Q

J: …old sentimentalist.

A

But you must admit that the mind -
