The Night They Raided Minsky's1968

Jacob Schpitendavel:
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 [raises index finger] to call down the wrath of heaven.

Vance Fowler:
My father, an Episcopal vestryman, used this [raises pinkie finger] as the finger of righteousness.

Louis Minsky:
Bah! And again, Bah! There is no finger of righteousness. This [raises pinkie and turns it in his ear] is the finger of cleanliness. This [raises ring finger] is the finger of marital bliss [points to wedding band]. This [raises index] is the finger of vengeance. This [levels middle finger toward Fowler, palm downward] is the finger of meddling in other people's lives [pokes Fowler in chest with middle finger]. And this [sticks out thumb] 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.
