Rabbi:
There is no doubt that the classical tradition is the curse of boils, bats, frogs, the curse of blood, the curse of rats, hail, of beasts, the locust, of course, the death of the first-born, and then, finally, of darkness.
Inspector Trout:
Darkness, rabbi?
Rabbi:
Yes. The final curse upon the land. To end forever the sleep of man.
