WATCHMAN. All of us have to get there one day, my child. AMAL. Have I too? WATCHMAN. Yes, you too! AMAL. But doctor won't let me out. WATCHMAN. One day the doctor himself may take you there by the hand. AMAL. He won't; you don't know him. He only keeps me in. WATCHMAN. One greater than he comes and lets us free. AMAL. When will this great doctor come for me? I can't stick in here any more. WATCHMAN. Shouldn't talk like that, my child. AMAL. No. I am here where they have left me--I never move a bit. But when your gong goes off, dong, dong, dong, it goes to my heart. Say, Watchman? WATCHMAN. Yes, my dear. AMAL. Say, what's going on there in that big house on the other side, where there is a flag flying high up and the people are always going in and out? |
