All of you are Edward's factory! I married Edward's factory and it burned my mother with an accident!
EDWARD
Aw tell it to the Russians will ya? To hell with this jazz! I'm not accountable for every black bitch that drowns! Christ the bomb we dropped on Hiroshima burned hundreds of 'em! Drop one of those and you don't even know you killed anyone! A single H bomb can wipe 'em all out! Christ don't talk to me about burning anyone's mother!
(Edward leaves the theater)
PRETORIA
Murderer.
BRUNO
Do not cry out!
This was done subtly.
It was clean, humane.
Who but old Moksa could have prevented it?
Not you!
What can this be to you--this merely human concern?
To you, who can destroy all life
With one signal, one word, one mistake,
To you who can destroy all life
With a mistake?
Man must be surpassed, you once said.
You have surpassed man.
What earthly concern are those who fall behind?
The unregenerate, the rebellious, the backward?
Look at your rose.
Must not infinite weeds and thorns be laid aside
Before the rose can be displayed in all its beauty?
The little humanitarian sentiments are easily come by.
Take hold of yourselves! Is it not you who say
Rome was not built in a day?
