Sure, Papa. I’m an actor. Jack Robin—that’s me.
Cantor
An actor! An actor in the theatre! You tell this to me—who comes from a family of five great Cantors! And after all my plans that you should be a Cantor, too! And now you take this singing that is holy to me and make it common!
Jack
What’s wrong with being an actor? I meet nice people—I make good money.
Cantor
[Furiously]. Money, money, money! Pickpockets make money, too!
Jack
Aw, don’t say that—don’t talk like that.
