Tevye : Then there are the others in our village. They make a much bigger circle. We don't bother them, and so far, they don't bother us. And among ourselves, we *always* get along perfectly well.
[pointing to Itchak and Avram]
Tevye : Of course, there was the time when he sold him a horse and told him it was only six years old, when it was really 12. But now, it's all over, and we live in simple peace and harmony.
[In Avram's ear]
Tevye : It was 12 years old.
[Avram nods]
Itchak : It was six!
Avram : Tevye knows!
[they begin arguing]

Avram : [coming into the synagogue] I'm sorry, Rabbi...
Rabbi : Yes of course, what news of the outside world?
Avram : [holding up his paper] Terrible, Rabbi!
Rabbi : Then don't tell me. If I want bad news, I'll read about Noah and the flood.
[the shul laughs]
Rabbi : Avram, surely somewhere there are good things happening. Can't you buy a paper that prints those things?
