Quote context

[...]

- Would you like some sherry?

- If you're determined to mourn that bird, we'll have a regular wake.

- It's not just because the bird died.

- It's me. I envy every woman I see on the street.

- They can't match your little finger.

- I envy them. They are happy. They make their husbands happy. They lead normal, happy lives. They're free.

- Do you know what happened to the bird?

- It died.

- It died of fright when I tried to take it in my hand.

- All right, the bird was afraid of you. That's nothing. I had a rabbit once that hated me, yet I grew up to be quite a nice fella.

- When I went past the panther's cage, I had to open the box. I had to throw the bird to him. Do you understand? I had to. I had to do it.

- That's what frightens me.
