A monologue from the play by Yasmina Reza
Alan
Our society? Explain our society. You see Veronica, I believe in the god of carnage. And he has ruled uninterruptedly since the dawn of time.
You’re interested in Africa, aren’t you? Well, as a matter of fact, I just came back from the Congo. Over there, little boys are taught to kill when they’re eight years old.
During their childhood, they may kill hundreds of people, with a machete, with a Kalash, with a thump gun,
so you’ll understand that when my son picks up a bamboo rod, hits his playmate and breaks a tooth, or even two,
in Cobble Hill Park, I’m likely to be less susceptible than you are to horror and indignation.
