(to ADAM) And you get lost too, you old dog.

ADAM
Is “old dog” my reward? Most true, I have lost my teeth in
your service. God be with my old master. He would not
have spoke such a word.
|
ADAM
Is that my reward—to be called “old dog?” Well, it’s true, I’ve served this family so long I’ve gotten old and toothless, like a dog. God bless my old master. He would never have spoken to me like this.
