"Alexander, you truly disappoint me. After I've dedicated so much to Italy's freedom, do you still regard me as an authoritarian?"
"No, Arthur, even worse than that. You're more difficult to deal with than a real authoritarian, because I find your allegiance utterly uncertain. Though I don't quite understand where you stand, I guess it may depend on whether you put on the authoritarian boots or the liberal boots first upon getting up in the morning. Arthur, my dear brother, I'm willing to share everything with you, except my girlfriend. But in politics, your uncertainty is just too great!"
Arthur supported the staggering Great Dumas down the stairs, but as soon as he reached the ground floor, he ran into Shubinsky, who had been waiting there for quite a while.
Seeing the drunken Great Dumas, Shubinsky quickly stepped forward to ease Arthur's burden: "My goodness! Mr. Dumas, I didn't expect you to be here, are you drunk?"
