The Night They Raided Minsky's1968

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.
