- TILLY LALLY:
Ah, I did not hear it. What was it, Obtuse Angle?
- OBTUSE ANGLE:
Pooh! Nonsense!

[SINAGAIN enters with a bottle of rum and pitcher of water for the PHILOSOPHERS]
- SUCTION:
It was Phebus Apollo.
- ARADOBO:
Ah, that was the gentleman.
- TILLY LALLY:
So, who was Phebus?
- OBTUSE ANGLE:
The heathens in the old ages used to have Gods whom they worshipped, and they used to sacrifice to them. You have read about that in the Bible.
- ARADOBO:
Ah, I thought I had read of Phebus in the Bible.
- OBTUSE ANGLE:
Aradobo, you should always think before you speak.
- TILLY LALLY:
[laughs] He means Pharoah.
- SINAGAIN:
I am ashamed of you, making use of the names in the Bible.
- TILLY LALLY:
I'll tell you what, Sinagain, I don't think there's any harm in it [gives her a pat on the ass].
- GASS:
[enters] No! I have a camera obscura at home-what was it you was talking about?
- TILLY LALLY:
Law! What has that to do with Pharoah?
- SIPSOP:
Pho! Nonsense! Hang Pharoah and all his host. Sing away, Quid.
