Well, this monkey here is—(The Monkey chatters angrily. The Doctor falls back, motioning the Inspector and the Boy to retreat.) Look out! He’s bad-tempered!
INSPECTOR
Ah! You needn’t tell me how you treat HIM! (The Doctor turns away.) And what about that helpless rabbit?
DOCTOR
(Goes to the hutch.)
The rabbit furnishes me with typhoid serum. And the neck of my horse is full of the serum that cures diphtheria. See! (Takes a small case from a pocket.) I’ll take some serum—just to show you. (Leans through the opening.) Here, back! Back up! Whoa, now!
INSPECTOR
Oh, don’t! I can’t bear it! Don’t! (The Horse stamps. She covers her eyes.) Don’t, I say! Oh, I’ll have you arrested for this!
DOCTOR
There! (Turns.) You see what THAT amounts to.
