Gino Conforti: The Barber

Quotes 

• The Barber : [singing, of Don Quixote]  I can hear the cuckoo singing in the cuckooberry tree.

  Sancho Panza : [singing]  If he says that that's a helmet, I suggest that you agree.

  The Barber : [singing]  But he'll find it is not gold and will not make him bold and brave.

  Sancho Panza : [singing]  Well, at least he'll find it useful if he ever needs a shave.

• The Barber : Oh, by the beard of St. Anthony... I do believe I see before me... a knight... in full armor. It's ridiculous! There aren't any knights!

  Don Quixote : [draws his sword]  What?

  The Barber : I was wrong. Forgive me. Forgive me, your... your... bigness. I thought I'd been touched by the sun.

• The Barber : By all the saints, there is a fortune to be made right here!

• Don Quixote : Knowest thou what that really is?

  The Barber : Uh-uh.

  Don Quixote : The Golden Helmet of Mambrino. When worn by one of noble heart, it rendereth him invulnerable to all wounds. From what fallen knight didst thou steal it?

  The Barber : I didn't steal it.

  Don Quixote : Surrender it!

  The Barber : Well, it cost me half a crown!

  Don Quixote : Surrender it, or I'll split...

  [the Barber screams as he drops the shaving basin]

  Don Quixote : Peasant.
