SISTER. Is it he?
DOCTOR. Yes. Courage I respect; but this is cynicism. A kind of challenge. Still, let him come in.
SISTER. Are you serious?
DOCTOR. Perfectly. But, if you care to talk to him a little, in that straightforward way of yours....
SISTER. I'd like to.
DOCTOR. Very well. Do the heavy work, and leave the final polish to me.
SISTER. You can trust me. I'll tell him everything your kindness forbids you to say.
DOCTOR. Enough of my kindness! Make haste, or I'll get impatient. Shut the doors. (His SISTER goes out.) What are you doing at that dustbin, Caesar? (CAESAR comes in.) Listen, Caesar, if your enemy were to come and lay his head in your lap, what would you do?
CAESAR. Cut it off!
DOCTOR. That's not what I've taught you.
