MADAME JOURDAIN: That's all we needed! He's come again perhaps to borrow something from you. The very sight of him spoils my appetite. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Be still, I tell you. ACT THREE SCENE IV (Count Dorante, Monsieur Jourdain, Madame Jourdain, Nicole) DORANTE: My dear friend, Monsieur Jourdain, how do you do? MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Very well, sir, to render you my small services. DORANTE: And Madame Jourdain there, how is she? MADAME JOURDAIN: Madame Jourdain is as well as she can be. DORANTE: Well! Monsieur Jourdain, you are excellently well dressed! MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: You see. DORANTE: You have a fine air in that suit, and we have no young men at court who are better made than you. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Well! well! MADAME JOURDAIN: (Aside) He scratches him where it itches. DORANTE: Turn around. It's positively elegant. MADAME JOURDAIN: (Aside) Yes, as big a fool behind as in front. DORANTE: My faith, Monsieur Jourdain, I was strangely impatient to see you. You are the man in the world I esteem most, and I was speaking of you again this morning in the bedchamber of the King. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: You do me great honor, sir. (To Madame Jourdain) In the King's bedchamber! DORANTE: Come, put on... MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Sir, I know the respect I owe you. DORANTE: Heavens! Put on your hat; I pray you, no ceremony between us. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Sir... DORANTE: Put it on, I tell you, Monsieur Jourdain: you are my friend. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Sir, I am your humble servant. DORANTE: I won't be covered if you won't. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: (Putting on his hat) I would rather be uncivil than troublesome. DORANTE: I am in your debt, as you know. MADAME JOURDAIN: Yes, we know it all too well. DORANTE: You have generously lent me money upon several occasions, and you have obliged me with the best grace in the world, assuredly. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Sir, you jest with me. DORANTE: But I know how to repay what is lent me, and to acknowledge the favors rendered me. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: I have no doubt of it, sir. DORANTE: I want to settle this matter with you, and I came here to make up our accounts together. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: There wife! You see your impertinence! DORANTE: I am a man who likes to repay debts as soon as I can. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: (Aside to Madame Jourdain) I told you so. DORANTE: Let's see how much do I owe you. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: (Aside to Madame Jourdain) There you are, with your ridiculous suspicions. DORANTE: Do you remember well all the money you have lent me? MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: I believe so. I made a little note of it. Here it is. Once you were given two hundred louis d'or. DORANTE: That's true. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Another time, six-score. DORANTE: Yes. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: And another time, a hundred and forty. DORANTE: You're right. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: These three items make four hundred and sixty louis d'or, which comes to five thousand sixty livres.
