Blanco Monologue from The Shewing-up of Blanco Posnet

From The Shewing-up of Blanco Posnet by Bernard Shaw

male · defiant · 55 sec

Well, brother? Well, Boozy Posnet, alias Elder Daniels? Well, thief? Well, drunkard? (ELDER DANIELS: It's no good, Blanco. Theyll never believe we're brothers.) Never fear. Do you suppose I want to claim you? Do you suppose I'm proud of you? Youre a rotten brother, Boozy Posnet. All you ever did when I owned you was to borrow money from me to get drunk with. Now you lend money and sell drink to other people. I was ashamed of you before; and I'm worse ashamed of you now, I wont have you for a brother. Heaven gave you to me; but I return the blessing without thanks. So be easy: I shant blab. (He turns his back on him and sits down).
