Your fly is open, mister! And says he: Mendelssohn was a jew and Karl Marx and Mercadante and Spinoza. And the Saviour was a jew and his father was a jew. Your God. He had no father, says Martin. That'll do now. Drive ahead. Whose God? says the citizen. Well, his uncle was a jew, says he. Your God was a jew. Christ was a jew like me. Gob, the citizen made a plunge back into the shop.
Sooner shall the Florentine Treasury grant thee an indemnification for the horrible tortures which thou hast endured, than thy wealth be poured forth to furnish this ransom-money. Come, my Lord of Orsini come, worthy Jew," continued the grand vizier, rising from his seat, "we will depart to the Ottoman encampment."
Jew or Gentile, thy fate would be the same; for thou hast to do with them that have neither scruple nor pity. Fare thee well, I say. My thread is spun out thy task is yet to begin." "Stay! stay! for Heaven's sake!" said Rebecca; "stay, though it be to curse and to revile me thy presence is yet some protection."

When business begins, there the heart stops. No, I have no heart to lend you money!" Gotzkowsky did not answer immediately.
Perhaps this old-clothes dealer will pay me a fair price for it; Jew though he be, he may be possessed of the heart of a Christian!" Alas and alack!
