for 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.

for Californian Shareholders. - Yesterday I invested 5000 Francs in the purchase of 1000 shares of a California Gold Mining Company.... we have the exploitation right of the left bank of the Sacramento river.... I think this will be a good business.... and the manager is just as convinced as I am. - I prefer a company, called "the golden hoax"... I have put all my money into it.

for Robert Macaire business agent. - By the devil! It's really admirable of you to break your back to pay off your debts, my good chap, wipe them out at once! - But how? - Good heavens! Bring me your books, I'll put them in order, it's my specialty, we'll settle for a few liabilities, a large number of assets, we'll assemble your creditors, we'll offer five percent to be paid over ten years, you won't give them anything during the ten years, in ten years' time you'll start again, your creditors will be dead, the debts forgotten and nobody will say a word about it.

for The Shareholders' Meeting. It definitely seems the business is on the right track.... since the director asks us to put in another 500'000 Francs!
