- [last lines]
- Barber: What's wrong? Nobody's sick in this dump anymore?
- Young Boy: All the sick are at the hospital.
- Barber: The what?
- Young Boy: The hospital. Built by the physician from the Orient.
- Barber: What physician from the orient?
- Young Boy: Physician Cole!
- Barber: Cole?
- Young Boy: Him, his wife, and a bunch of Jews. They can cure anything.
- Barber: Brat! Here.
- [coins]
- Barber: Lead the way. Tell me about it!
- Young Boy: I went for a fever. You get a soft bed to lie in, hot meals, and magic medicine. Someone's playing music.
- Barber: And then what?
- Young Boy: Physician Cole comes to see you every evening. And if you ask, he juggles for you and tells you amazing stories. With lions, and horses with big humps on their back. And falcons that can break a man's skull with its beak.
- Barber: And his wife, what is... what's she like?
- Young Boy: Delicious.
- Barber: What do you know? What are you, nine?
- Young Boy: I'm ten!

- Barber: [performing for a crowd] Back and forth, up and down, left to right, for more than one hundred years. But nowhere have I had the pleasure of looking out upon a crowd with prettier girls than here in your wonderful Rough Dovender. Why do I specially like it here because... I always lay me best eggs here.
- Barber: [starts imitating a chicken, then produces an egg]
