Helms Monologue from Autumn Fires

From Autumn Fires by Gustav Wied

male · comedic · 47 sec

I can't bear tobacco smoke to-day; my throat's too bad. Let me tell you something; I take no orders from you. I'll complain to the superintendent. Smoke hurts my throat, and you know it. No, but I'll tell Knut when he comes. I don't see why I let you be his godfather anyway. They wanted someone else, but I said: "No, let's ask Krakau; it will please him." I was a fool. But you've always been jealous because I am his grandfather while you are only his godfather.
