Quote #10
Let's return to my earlier point, the one you made me interrupt; / answer me this, to start things off: did you beat me when I was small? (1407-1408)
Oh, who's that knocking? It's karma again. Pheidippides is using his newly learned rhetoric skills (courtesy of dad) to argue that he had the right to beat his father. As he gets warmed up, he gets his dad to admit that he used violence against him as a child.
