MADAME JOURDAIN: Yes, he has a kindness for you, and shows his
affection, but he borrows your money.
MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: So! Isn't it an honor for me to lend money to a
man of that condition? And can I do less for a lord who calls me
his dear friend?
MADAME JOURDAIN: And this lord, what does he do for you?
MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Things that would astonish you if you knew
them.
MADAME JOURDAIN: Like what?
MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Blast! I cannot explain myself. It must suffice
that if I have lent him money, he'll pay it back fully, and before
long.
MADAME JOURDAIN: Yes. You are waiting for that.
MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Assuredly. Didn't he tell me so?
MADAME JOURDAIN: Yes, yes, he won't fail to do it.
MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: He swore it on the faith of a gentleman.
MADAME JOURDAIN: Nonsense!
MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Well! You are very obstinate, wife. I tell you
he will keep his word, I'm sure of it.
MADAME JOURDAIN: And I'm sure he will not, and that all his show of
affection is only to flatter you.
MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Be still. Here he is.
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.
