FIRST HEAVER. Nothing to eat? We, who work hardest, get least food; and the rich, who do nothing, get most. Might one not—without disregard of truth—assert that this is injustice —What has the daughter of the gods to say about it?
THE DAUGHTER. I can say nothing at all—But tell me, what have you done that makes you so black and your lot so hard?
FIRST HEAVER. What have we done? We have been born of poor and perhaps not very good parents—Maybe we have been punished a couple of times.
THE DAUGHTER. Punished?
FIRST HEAVER. Yes, the unpunished hang out in the Casino up there and dine on eight courses with wine.
THE DAUGHTER. [To THE LAWYER] Can that be true?
THE LAWYER. On the whole, yes.
THE DAUGHTER. You mean to say that every man at some time has deserved to go to prison?
THE LAWYER. Yes.
THE DAUGHTER. You, too?
