When Bernard saw how Elijah Simons has been speaking and acting since he got to the park house, he immediately jumped up to his feet, even though he had been working very hard to keep his fury under control.
"Put your dirty mouth where your filthy hands are, you scumbag member of the Blue Moon park... What gives you the nerve to speak to the elders of our park and me, the Alpha of the park? Do you honestly believe that you are clean enough to stand among us, considering how dirty you appear and how arrogantly you carry yourself? If so, what gives you the right to do so?"
When Bernard addressed Elijah with those inquisitive comments, he did so while displaying an extremely irritated expression on his face.
