STOIC

You are joking, man. Look out that I don’t shoot you with my indemonstrable syllogism.Indemonstrable in the sense that its propositions do not require demonstration, or indeed admit of it.

BUYER

What have I to fear from that shaft? 5

STOIC

Perplexity and aphasia and a sprained intellect.

But the great thing is that if I wish I can turn you into a stone forthwith.

BUYER

How will you turn me into a stone? You are not a Perseus, I think, my dear fellow.

STOIC

In this way. Isa stone a substance?

BUYER

Yes.

STOIC

And how about this—is not an animal a substance? 5

BUYER

Yes.

STOIC

And you are an animal?

BUYER

So it appears, anyhow.

STOIC

Then you are a substance, and therefore a stone!

BUYER

Don’t say that! Distribute my middle, for Heaven’s sake, and make me a man again. 10

STOIC

That is not difficult. Be a man once more!—Tell me, is every substance an animal?

BUYER

No.

STOIC

Well, is a stone an animal?

BUYER

No.

STOIC

You are a substance? 15

BUYER

Yes.

STOIC

But even if you are a substance, you are an animal.
