Tevye:
[after seeing Chava and Fyedka talking]
What were you and he talking about? Chava:
Nothing. We were just talking. Tevye:
Good. [walks away] Chava:
[chasing after Teyve]
Papa! Fyedka and I... We've known each other for a long time... Tevye:
Chaveleh, I would be much happier if you remained friends from a distance. You must not forget who you are and who that man is. Chava:
He has a name, Papa. Tevye:
Of course. All creatures on Earth have a name. Chava:
Fyedka is not a creature, Papa. Fyedka is a man! Tevye:
Who says he isn't? It's just that he's a different kind of man. As the Good Book says, "Each shall seek his own kind." In other words, a bird may love a fish, but where would they build a home together? Chava:
The world is changing, Papa! Tevye:
[rounding on her]
No! [calmly] Tevye:
No. Some things do not change for us. Some things will never change. Chava:
We don't feel that way. Tevye:
We? Chava:
Fyedka and I... We want to be married. Tevye:
What? Are you out of your mind? Don't you understand what that means, marrying outside of the faith? Chava:
But, Papa... Tevye:
I said no! Never talk about it again. Never mention his name again. Never see him again. Do you understand me? Chava:
[quietly]
Yes, Papa. I understand you
