L’Etranger de Charles Baudelaire

A: Arguments and complaints, Buddy, your dime.

B: For wisdom, that's why I search, professor.

A: Experience contemplates vanity.

B: You befuddle me, as you clearly know.

A: Dick in hand in the Women's Locker Room.

B: Why put me down? Am I so ignorant?

A: ...a Distant Prospect of Eton College.

B: I see. You love no one. Should I leave, then?

A: Drink your tea, it's getting cold. I love...

B: ...no one. You live in solitude with books.

A: ... les nuages… les nuages qui passent… là-bas…

B: Is that French? I'm sorry, I don't speak French.

A: … là-bas… là-bas… les merveilleux nuages !

B: You just like to hear yourself speak, don't you?

A: « Les gens sont des cons. » I quote the masters.

B: But you treat me like a child at daycare.

A: If the shoe fits, buddy, what can I do?

B: Professor, I am a human being!

A: Actually, buddy, we're all animals.

B: I'm not an animal! I am... a man!

A: No need to bark as I'm not your owner.

B: Dear God, he thinks I am simply a dog!

A: The world complains of more important things.

B: I had better go, you are abusive.

A: People are bloody, ignorant apes. Word!

B: [Silence]. [Thinking]. [Thinking no more]. [Silence].
