 flies here? Damn black flies! Are you afraid of them? Are you a coward? You are a man – a man of pride and honor! Sir.. I. . . See. . . I ran out of food. . . It ran out for supper. . . Happens to anyone. ..

Jerman. Take it and go home; you must be drowsy.

Pisek. It could happen to any of us. . . Ha, ha! Black suit; within it a black man! Am I to give him a lecture or two? This fubsy podgy roley-poley pork! Ew!

Jerman. Have a good night!

Pisek. Do not bother. . . Happens to anyone!

Jerman. Has any-one cleaned up for themselves?

Pastor. M-hmm. . . You are gone converting serfs into human beings. This path is harsh and it is uneven; you will not come to finish it. Nobody has.

Jerman. If I do not get till the end, I will have struggled square.

Pastor. When your fuel runs out and you will be taking a rest on the last rock by the road, remember how distorted I felt when we were voicing our goodbyes.

Jerman. I shall remember.

Pastor. Remember how I warned you; tomorrow will come soon.

Jerman. Let it be as it has been called for.

Pastor. Let it be so!
