Enemy! The Fly! (They fall away from the Fly.)

FLY

(To the Dog.)

How can you turn on me like that? I’ve tickled your nose. I’ve kept you awake. But—

DOG

Silence! (To the others.) If this Fly didn’t carry disease, there wouldn’t be sickness. If there wasn’t sickness, the Doctor wouldn’t have to experiment on us.

(The Horse snorts, the Monkey chatters, the Cat spits, the Rabbit moves her ears.)

FLY

Oh, you ungrateful beasts!
