Drunkard Monologue from Night

From Night by Sholom Asch

male · defiant · 53 sec

We're all the children of the Devil. You've no more on your hide than he has. Beggar. Don't you start anything. I am a Christian, and believe in God. I've no home. That's why I sleep on the street. Every dog finds his hole. But I won't live together with the Devil. And I won't be the neighbor of a harlot either. Nor was a drunkard ever a friend of mine. What are you running after me for? This whole street belongs to the Devil. Why are you trying to stop me?
