HIM: It doesn't lead to anything. ME: It leads to everything. HIM: Yes, when one excels, but who can promise himself that his child will excel? The odds are ten thousand to one that he'll be nothing but an unhappy scraper of strings, like me. You know, it would probably be easier to find a child suited to govern a kingdom, to make a great king, than one to make a great violin player. HIM IT DOESN'T LEAD TO ANYTHING ME IT LEADS TO EVERYTHING HIM YES WHEN ONE EXCELS BUT WHO CAN PROMISE HIMSELF THAT HIS CHILD WILL EXCEL THE ODDS ARE TEN THOUSAND TO ONE THAT HE'LL BE NOTHING BUT AN UNHAPPY SCRAPER OF STRINGS LIKE ME YOU KNOW IT WOULD PROBABLY BE EASIER TO FIND A CHILD SUITED TO GOVERN A KINGDOM TO MAKE A GREAT KING THAN ONE TO MAKE A GREAT VIOLIN PLAYER
art, as if by two opposing forces, and would stagger all over the place along the road of life, as I seen in countless people, equally awkward in doing good or bad. Those are the ones we call "types"--which is the most frightening of all labels, because it indicates mediocrity and the final degree of contempt. A great scoundrel is a great scoundrel, but he's not a type. It would require an enormous length of time before the paternal molecule could reassert its mastery and take him to the state of perfect debasement where I am. He'd lose his best years. So I'm doing nothing about it at the moment. I'll let him come along. I'll keep my eye on him. He is already greedy, glib--a lazy thief and a liar. I'm afraid he's true to his heredity. ME: Why not make a musician of him, so he'll be just like you? HIM: A musician! A musician! Sometimes I look at him and grind my teeth, telling him, "If you ever learn a single note, I believe I'll wring your neck." ME: And why on earth would you do that? CULE AND HE'D BE PULLED APART AS IF BY TWO OPPOSING FORCES AND WOULD STAGGER ALL OVER THE PLACE ALONG THE ROAD OF LIFE AS I'VE SEEN IN COUNTLESS PEOPLE EQUALLY AWKWARD IN DOING GOOD OR BAD THOSE ARE THE ONES WE CALL TYPES WHICH IS THE MOST FRIGHTENING OF ALL LABELS BECAUSE IT INDICATES MEDIOCRITY AND THE FINAL DEGREE OF CONTEMPT A GREAT SCOUNDREL IS A GREAT SCOUNDREL BUT HE'S NOT A TYPE IT WOULD REQUIRE AN ENORMOUS LENGTH OF TIME BEFORE THE PATERNAL MOLECULE COULD REASSERT ITS MASTERY AND TAKE HIM TO A STATE OF PERFECT DEBASEMENT WHERE I AM HE'D LOSE HIS BEST YEARS SO I'M DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT AT THE MOMENT I'LL LET HIM COME ALONG I'LL KEEP MY EYE ON HIM HE IS ALREADY GREEDY GLIB A LAZY THIEF AND A LIAR I'M AFRAID HE'S TRUE TO HIS HEREDITY ME WHY NOT MAKE A MUSICIAN OF HIM SO HE'LL BE JUST LIKE YOU HIM YOU ARE A MUSICIAN A MUSICIAN SOMETIMES I LOOK AT HIM AND GRIND MY TEETH TELLING HIM IF YOU EVER LEARN A SINGLE NOTE I BELIEVE I'LL WRING YOUR NECK ME AND WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU DO THAT
