(French, 1808 - 1879) - Title
- Monsieur! Monsieur!! You offer me 500 francs . . . to commit such an injustice!!! It's baseness, an abhorrence, an infamy!!! - Monsieur Macaire, I said a thousand francs. - Ten thousand francs! That's still very dishonest of you. - Good God, if twenty thousand francs could... - Six times twenty thousand, you mean 120'000 francs? But really, I mustn't... these gentlemen end up speaking very softly, they become inaudible, but they understand each other perfectly. (Monsieur! Monsieur!! M'offrir 500 francs pour me faire commettre une semblable injustice !!! C’est une indignité ! une abomination !! une infamie !!! – Monsieur Macaire j’ai dit mille francs. …. – Dix mille francs ! cela est tout de même très mal de votre part… - Mon dieu ! si vingt mille francs pouvaient…. – Six vingt mille francs, vous voulez dire 120,000 francs ? mais vraiment je ne dois pas…….. Ces Messieurs finissent par se parler très bas, on ne les entend plus, mais ils s’entendent parfaitement.), number 56 from the series Caricaturana
