MENDEL [Soothingly]
Quite right. But you needn't get so excited over it.
DAVID
Not when one hears the roaring of the fires of God? Not when one sees the souls melting in the Crucible? Uncle, all those little Jews will grow up Americans!
MENDEL [Putting a pacifying hand on his shoulder and forcing him into a chair]
Sit down. I want to talk to you about your affairs.
DAVID [Sitting]
My affairs! But I've been talking about them all the time!
MENDEL
Nonsense, David.
