The Golden Calf Page #11

I ask you as a public-spirited citizen!

Where can I find it now?

Over there.

There are 3 tones of parcels over there.

My uncle!

He will not survive this.

OK. We are not animals, not leopards.

- Never do it again!

- Upon my my word of honor as a student!

Enough of psychological excesses!

Enough of suffering and self-torture!

It's high time to begin

a hard-working bourgeois life!

To Rio de Janeiro.

Epilogue.

Throughout the winter the great schemer

had made his preparations...

He had bought US dollars with their portraits

of white-wigged presidents...

gold watches...

cigarette cases...

wedding rings...

diamonds...

and other precious articles.

His fur coat weighed a ton.

He was opressed by gold -

the platter, the cross, the bracelets.

His back itched under the watches.

This remarkable load...

...was to secure an easy,

happy-go-lucky life...

for the commander

on the shores of the warm ocean.

In Rio de Janeiro.

I greet you, seigneurs!

Bonjour, my friends!

I greet you as representatives...

But, but! Hands off!

Souvenirs from Paris!

They'll put color

into your drab life on the border!

Bracelet!

I shall complain about you to the large Khuruldan!

This is for you, gentlemen.

Oh. what treatment!

Exploiters of hardworking people!

Move over!

Exploiters of hardworking people!

Accursed Siguranza!

An intelligent person like me!

The ice is breaking!

The ice is braking, gentlemen of the jury!

No ovations are necessary.

I did not become a Count of Monte Cristo.

I shall have to qualify as a superintendent!

This is the end.

The end.

by Charles Malamuth (1932).
