Trotter Monologue from Fanny's First Play

From Fanny's First Play by Bernard Shaw

male · sarcastic · 42 sec

If it were not so obviously a stage cliche, I should say Damn Cambridge. As it is, I blame my kittens. And now let me warn you. If youre going to be a charming healthy young English girl, you may coax me. If youre going to be an unsexed Cambridge Fabian virago, I'll treat you as my intellectual equal, as I would treat a man. (FANNY: But how few men are your intellectual equals, Mr Trotter!) I'm getting the worst of this. (FANNY: Oh no. Why do you say that?) May I remind you that the dinner-bell will ring presently?
