"He's not barking, he's shrieking." "Then he starts throwing himself against the gate." "And he frightens me." "I'm frightened." "If that gate wasn't there he'd leap at me and bite me." "Flee to my house" "And hope the dog goes away" "But when I close the door, I can still hear him shouting." "He shouts that I am a traitor." "Good morning." "Papers, please." " Is that your rucksack?" " Yes." " May?" " Yes." " Is the money yours as well?" " Yes." "Can you show me your papers?" "What are you doing with these, eh?" " Come with us, come on" " Why?"
