See. A man.
Put a dog's head on him.
What do you have now?

Good dog

You think he will protect you?

Give him three dogs' heads. Point them left and right.
Want security? Call him Kerberos.

Here, Kerberos. Here, boy.

Give him ten. Give him fifty. Feel safer?

Now take them all off.

Good boy

This time, put just one back on again.
Lift his upper lip. See his teeth.
Do you recognize him?

He is the ancient god of death.

Off again.
No difference, is there?

On again.

See? —

Your daughter will play this game.
