[1461] my nature. [1462] This evening. [1463] So much the worse for
me. [1464] (he jerks the rope, [1465] LUCKY looks at him) [1466] For
I shall suffer, no doubt about that. [1467] (he picks
up the whip) [1468] What do you prefer? [1469] Shall we have
him dance, or sing, or recite, or think, or -

[1470] Who?

[1471] Who! [1472] You know how to think, you two?

[1473] He thinks?

[1474] Certainly. [1475] Aloud. [1476] He even used to think very
prettily once, I could listen to him for hours.
[1477] Now... [1478] (he shudders) [1479] So much the worse for me.
[1480] Well, would you like him to think something for us?

[1481] I'd rather he'd dance, it'd be more fun.

[1482] Not necessarily.

[1483] Wouldn't it, Didi, be more fun?

[1484] I'd like well to hear him think.

[1485] Perhaps he could dance first and think afterwards,
[1486] if it isn't too much to ask him.

[1487] (To Pozzo) [1488] Would that be possible?

[1489] By all means, nothing simpler. [1490] It's the natural
order. [1491] (brief laugh)

[1492] Then let him dance.

[1495] Do you hear, hog?

[1496] He never refuses.

[1497] He refused once.

[1498] (Silence)

[1499] Dance, misery!

[1504] Is that all there is to it?

[1505] Encore!
