From The Clouds by Aristophanes

male · comedic · 54 sec

Oh, oh, my child! Huzza! Huzza! How I am delighted at the first sight of your complexion! Now, indeed, you are, in the first place, negative and disputatious to look at, and this fashion native to the place plainly appears, the "what do you say?" and the seeming to be injured when, I well know, you are injuring and inflicting a wrong; and in your countenance there is the Attic look. Now, therefore, see that you save me, since you have also ruined me. (Phid: What, pray, do you fear?) The Old and New. (Phid: Why, is any day old and new?) Yes; on which they say that they will make their deposits against me.
