Quotes
-
Daniel Striped Tiger : [they're blowing bubbles] They're not orange and black.
[Clemmons tries]
Daniel Striped Tiger : They look about the same.
François Clemmons : You see? Mine weren't black and yours weren't orange and black.
Daniel Striped Tiger : But we're different colors, you and I. Why are our bubbles the same?
François Clemmons : Because bubbles don't have anything to do with the outside of us. It's our breath from the inside that help make the bubbles.
-
Daniel Striped Tiger : Mr. Clemmons, why is everybody so different on the outside and so similar on the inside?
François Clemmons : I don't know. We do look very different, but we have many of the same feelings.
Daniel Striped Tiger : I get sad sometimes. Do you?
François Clemmons : Of course I do.
Daniel Striped Tiger : And I get real happy sometimes. Do you?
François Clemmons : I certainly do. And do you know one of the reasons I'm happy right now?
Daniel Striped Tiger : Why?
François Clemmons : Because I enjoy talking about serious things with you. And because I've just decided what to be in the opera: a porpoise.
