Image Not Available for A breach of trust. These villains! How immoral to steal the clothes from a prison lawyer, while he innocently takes a swim beneath nature's protection. Without my hat, I'd have to go home naked! What times are we living in!

Image Not Available for Robert Macaire before his judges. Very well! Yes, gentlemen, I was rather unfortunate at the Assize Court... but misfortune is always respectable!... moreover, it’s true what has been said, I've a habit of subtracting money, it's easier to excuse me than someone else because it's harder for me to resist my weakness... as for the rest, I am accused of selling lead for gold? Twenty witnesses swear to it. Very well! I deny it forty times and since two denials are worth an avowal it's clear that you cannot find me guilty. (after this brilliant improvisation Robert Macaire is condemned with a maximum sentence).

Monsieur Moutonnet, you have made yet another error in your calculations... copy out for me six times the verb: I have made a mistake in my addition! (Mr. Moutonnet, now furious, answers back with some signs, which really have very little in common with algebra)
