Solomon

Solomon: Nathan

Nathan: So, how's married life?

Solomon: Very pleasant. Very pleasant indeed.

Solomon: The pleasures of the body are not to be missed, Nathan.

Nathan: I have chosen to concentrate on God's love, my lord.

Solomon: Do you really think he meant you to deny yourself, Nathan? He made us this way did he not? Why would he not want us to taste the fruit?

Nathan: God put many things on earth we're not to taste, my lord. If it were not so, we would not have a free will... and he... would not be God... but simply the creator of blind animals.
