I need help finding a similar play on words in English (it would be preferable if the words also rhyme) while maintaining the general meaning of the exchange.
Any ideas are much appreciated.
Here's the exchange:
Guarda guarda, conosce Suvorov.
Il nostro Fil'kin è uno colto.
Cosa, uno stolto ?
Non stolto, colto !
Peggio ancora !
Questa gliela faccio pagare !
O Signore !
