Badger: "Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?"
James: "I do bite my thumb, sir."
Badger: "Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?"
James: (aside to Gregory) "Is the law of our side, if I say
ay?"
Bird: "No."
James: "No, sir, I do not bite my thumb at you, sir, but I
bite my thumb, sir."
Bird: "Do you quarrel, sir?"
Badger: "Quarrel sir! no, sir."
James: "If you do, sir, I am for you: I serve as good a man as you."
Badger: "No better."
James: "Well, sir."
Bird: "Say 'better:' here comes one of my master's kinsmen."
James: "Yes, better, sir."
Badger: "You lie."
James: "Draw, if you be men. Gregory, remember thy swashing blow."
