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.
