American Monologue from Altruism

From Altruism by Karl Ettlinger

male · sarcastic · 44 sec

How much does your child cost? Well, your child costs nothing—my dog costs eight dollars. Think that over—is your son a thoroughbred? My dog is of the purest breed—think that over—if your son hurts my dog I'll hold you responsible. Think that over. I am very sorry for you, indeed. You have only yourself to blame. I have no desire to discuss dogs with you. I don't believe you know anything about thoroughbred dogs. Waiter, sit this man down in his place.
