Jacob Schpitendavel:
[raising his index finger]
Louis Minsky, if you do not now go at once to prevent thy son from bringing my daughter to such ignominy, I shall, as Agnon did, raise the finger of righteousness to call down the wrath of the heavens.
Vance Fowler:
[raising his pinky finger]
My father, an Episcopal vestryman, used this as the finger of righteousness.
Louis Minsky:
[to Fowler, then to Schpitendavel]
Bah! And again, Bah! There is no finger of righteousness.
Louis Minsky:
[raising his pinky finger and turning it in his ear]
This is the finger of cleanliness.
Louis Minsky:
[pointing to his ring finger]
This is the finger of marital bliss.
Louis Minsky:
[raising his index finger]
This is the finger of vengeance.
Louis Minsky:
[leveling his middle finger, poking Fowler in the chest]
This is the finger of meddling in other people's lives.
Louis Minsky:
[sticking up his thumb, then forming his hand into a fist]
And this is the finger of transportation. It will get us a taxi to the theater. You speak with the fist of authority, gentlemen, but you do not know your fingers.
