d at your age?

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Why not? Would to God I were whipped this minute
in front of everyone, if I only knew what they learn at school!

NICOLE: Yes, my faith! That would get you into better shape.

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Without doubt.

MADAME JOURDAIN: All this is very important to the management of
your house.

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Assuredly. You both talk like beasts, and I'm
ashamed of your ignorance. For example, do you know what are you
speaking just now?

MADAME JOURDAIN: Yes, I know that what I'm saying is well said and
that you ought to be considering living in another way.

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: I'm not talking about that. I'm asking if you
know what the words are that you are saying here?

MADAME JOURDAIN: They are words that are very sensible, and your
conduct is scarcely so.

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: I'm not talking about that, I tell you. I'm
asking you: what is it that I'm speaking to you this minute, what
is it?

MADAME JOURDAIN: Nonsense.

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: No, no! That's not it. What is it we are both
saying, what language is it that we are speaking right now?

MADAME JOURDAIN: Well?

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: What is it called?

MADAME JOURDAIN: It's called whatever you want.

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: It's prose, you ignorant creature.

MADAME JOURDAIN: Prose?

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Yes, prose. Everything is prose that is not
verse; and everything that's not verse is prose. There! This is
what it is to study! And you (to Nicole), do you know what you must
do to say U?

NICOLE: What?

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Say U, in order to see.

NICOLE: Oh Well, U.

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: What do you do?

NICOLE: I say U.

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Yes, but, when you say U, what do you do?

NICOLE: I do what you tell me to.

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Oh, how strange it is to have to deal with
morons! You thrust your lips out and bring your lower jaw to your
upper jaw: U, see? U. Do you see? I make a pout: U.

NICOLE: Yes, that's beautiful.

MADAME JOURDAIN: How admirable.

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: But it's quite another thing, if you have seen
O, and D, D, and F, F.

MADAME JOURDAIN: What is all this rigmarole?

NICOLE: What does all this do for us?

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: It enrages me when I see these ignorant women.

MADAME JOURDAIN: Go, go, you ought to send all those people packing
with their foolishness.

NICOLE: And above all, that great gawk of a Fencing Master, who
ruins all my work with dust.
