Hugo Wolfe
- Gustav Mahler: Last year I was selected from many applicants to conduct a season of German music at the Royal Opera House in London. Where I performed with some success the works of Richard Wagner.
- Hugo Wolfe: Wagner? That there's the rub.
- Gustav Mahler: I beg your pardon, Your Majesty?
- Hugo Wolfe: Drop your trousers! I'm sure your wife won't object. I assume she's seen it before.
- [Gustav drops his trousers, the Hugo inspects]
- Hugo Wolfe: It's as I thought. A Jew! There's the rub. We have some brilliant surgeons here, they could probably graft on a new foreskin, but - but I doubt you could deceive Cosima Wagner. She can smell a Jew a mile off and she's an even greater anti-Semite than her late belated husband. Unless we can win her over, my hands are tied. I rule the country, but she rules the world - of music.
