Robert Macaire, business agent. Yesterday I made a mistake when I said that your business is in good shape. It's detestable. The government owes you five hundred thousand francs, it's true, but the debt hasn't been recognized, there's a forfeiture today, you won't have a penny. However, come to think of it, there's Mr. de St. Bertrand, a rich capitalist, an imbecile, sell him your interests for a hundred crowns, that'll be a splendid deal... (aside) and not expensive.

TO IMAGINE THAT NEXT YEAR I WILL BE EXHIBITED AND THAT EVERYBODY IN PARIS WILL SEE ME... ITS IS KIND OF FLATTERING, ISN'T IT DEAR? - I'M JUST UNHAPPY THAT YOU WON'T BE WEARING YOUR NECK-TIE... IT LOOKS A BIT SLOPPY... IF THERE IS STILL SOME TIME, WHY DON'T YOU ASK THE SCULPTOR TO ADD ON YOUR STAND-UP COLLAR.
