BUREAUCRAT 1 We understand the farmers have been getting very bad weather. Is this your son, Mr. Mokser? I understand you have another son?

MOKSA My son. Two more. Bad weather, yes.

BUREAUCRAT 3 We would like to make things easier for you and your sons, Mr. Moksa.

You say you have two other sons?

These people never give us the right information.

INDIO Where is mother? What have you done with my mother?

BUREAUCRAT 2 Would you mind asking your son to keep his hands to himself?

BUREAUCRAT 3

Small wonder these things happen. All passions; they can't control themselves.

BUREAUCRAT 1 In a year like this your farm must be a grave liability to you, Mr. Mokser.
