Robert Macaire at the restaurant. - My God!... By the most appalling error my friend and I forgot to take some money this morning... As you don't have the honor of knowing us, may I offer you as collateral for the 6 francs, 25 centimes we owe you these ten shares of the newspaper La Presse, or perhaps my friend's hat. - I would really prefer your friend's hat!

Two capacities of the old regime. - How do you like that, Monsieur de Blois flotté.... nowadays anybody can become a deputy, even with a fortune of less than 50 Ecus! ...after all I had an income of 40,000 Francs.... so it was quite obvious that I understood all the problems.... my means simply made it possible.

Robert Macaire, doctor. For heaven's sake, do not take this illness lightly! Believe me, you must drink a lot of water, rub your legs and come to see me often... it won't ruin you.... My consultations are free of charge.... You just pay me 20 Francs for the two bottles. For 10 cents I will take the container back.

Ah, Sir, your broth is really light..... even the patients complain that it does not sustain them! - I have corrected that... but today it might be a bit too strong.... I added to the pot half a game of Dominos more than yesterday..... including the double six to give it a nice colour.

The Public Bath for 20 Centimes. New Style. - I say, old man.... is the water any good? - Poor idiot! if it were any good, they wouldn't give us that much for just 4 Sous.

Yes! My dear, it has been more than three weeks that no food entered this good man’s body!… - I prepared a good cabbage soup with bacon and some potatoes, that he loves so much. This will give him some strength. If you'd follow the diet the doctors gave him, he would soon die of hunger…
