HARES: You said I should rest, but rest from what…?
DIMITRIOS: From all these people…!
HARES: What do they do to you…?
DIMITRIOS: If I don't hit them first, they will hit me! Can I live with this hateful anxiety? Instead of trembling before others, wouldn’t it be better if others trembled before me…?
HARES: Stay as you are, don't move at all… The insecurity flickers in your right eye, wickedness glints in your left… You tremble with the right, you slaughter with the left… Your right ear searches into infinity, your left has withered from a complete lack of trust…! Now come and see how much I respect the truth…! And I ask you! Is it fair, because you were born a coward, to ruin the peace of the world? (Noise outside and running)
DIMITRIOS: Cowardly me…?
HARES: By birth! It showed in Rhodes! You didn't even dare to pass between a tavern and a pastry shop without attacking unarmed and innocent people…!
