ed 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. DORANTE: The account is quite right. Five thousand sixty livres. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: One thousand eight hundred thirty-two livres to your plume-maker. DORANTE: Exactly. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Two thousand seven hundred eighty livres to your tailor. DORANTE: It's true. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Four thousand three hundred seventy-nine livres twelve sols eight deniers to your tradesman. DORANTE: Quite right. Twelve sols eight deniers. The account is exact. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: And one thousand seven hundred forty-eight livres seven sols four deniers to your saddler. DORANTE: All that is true. What does that come to? MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Sum total, fifteen thousand eight hundred livres. DORANTE: The sum total is exact: fifteen thousand eight hundred livres. To which add two hundred pistoles that you are going to give me, which will make exactly eighteen thousand francs, which I shall pay you at the first opportunity. MADAME JOURDAIN: (Aside) Well, didn't I predict it? MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Peace! DORANTE: Will that inconvenience you, to give me the amount I say? MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Oh, no! MADAME JOURDAIN: (Aside) That man is making a milk-cow out of you! MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Be quiet! DORANTE: If that inconveniences you, I will seek it somewhere else. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: NO, Sir. MADAME JOURDAIN: (Aside) He won't be content until he's ruined you. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Be quiet, I tell you. DORANTE: You have only to tell me if that embarrasses you.
