THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED
The Doctor
Keep those wops out of here! There’s been enough noise already with this bigoted old soak.
Father McKee
You heretical, blasphemin’ . . .
Tony
Padre, Madonna mia, don’ fight no more! [To the crowd]: Eh!
The Doctor
[Still holding the crowd back in the doorway]: No, you can’t come in here!
The Guests
Si, si, dottore! Si, si, dottore! Prego, dottore!
The Doctor
No! Tony’s too sick!
Tony
Tak’ a pinch-a snuff, Doc, an’ sit down.
[The guests surge in as Tony calls to them]:
Vieni! Vieni qui! Venite tutti! Venite tutti!
The Guests
Come va? Sta bene? Sta meglio, Antonio? Ha tanto sofferto, poveretto! Poveretto!
