- The beginners - (Bertrand) Oh no! The patient is too feeble, she'd succumb... the operation's now impracticable... - (Robert Macaire) Impracticable!!! There's nothing impracticable for a novice... Listen, we're unknown. If we fail we remain in the dark, it won't be a set back... but if by chance we're successful... no more problems, we're launched, our reputation's made!... - (together) Let's do it!... (You give your practice to these jokers?) (Le Début. (Bertrand). Oh ! non la malade est faible, elle succomberait…….l’opération devient impraticable…. (Robt. Mac.) Impraticable !!!… il n’y a rien d’impraticable pour un débutant…. Ecoute ! nous sommes inconnus. Si nous échouons, nous restons dans l’obscurité, ça ne nous recule pas. Si par hasard nous réussissons…... C’est fini, nous sommes lancés, notre réputation est faite !… (Ensemble) Pratiquons ! pratiquons.
