" OLD YOUTHFUL [sneezing]. But sir, it’s not fair. Where’s the justice…
BARTHOLO. Justice! Ignorant clods like you can go on and on about justice. But I’m your master and that means I’m always right!
OLD YOUTHFUL [sneezing]. But if a thing is true…
BARTHOLO. If something’s true! If I don’t want a thing to be true, it isn’t true by my say-so. If you let any Tom, Dick, or Harry be right, you’d soon see what’s to become of authority and discipline! "
