And a thousand little flies are fatherless.
CAT
(Smoothes her fur.)
Why, that Doctor brought me home when I was starving in the street! Purr-r-r! Purr-r-r!
RABBIT
And he took ME away from a bad little boy! (Hops to the hutch.)
MONKEY
And after all, he’s a relative of mine. And—blood is thicker than water! (He strolls toward the laboratory door.)
DOG
My friend, suppose, after this, that instead of fighting the Doctor, we fight the flies!
