OCTAVE, LÉANDRE, SCAPIN.

OCT
Well, Scapin, have your plans been successful?

LEA
Have you done anything towards alleviating my sorrow?

SCA
(to OCTAVE). Here are two hundred pistoles I have got from your father.

OCT
Ah! how happy you make me.

SCA
(to LÉANDRE), But I could do nothing for you.

LEA
(going away). Then I must die, Sir, for I could not live without Zerbinette.

SCA
Hallo! stop, stop; my goodness, how quick you are!

LEA
What can become of me?
SCA
There, there, I have all you want.

LEA
Ah! you bring me back to life again.

SCA
But I give it you only on one condition, which is that you will allow me to revenge myself a little on your father for the trick he has played me.

LEA
You may do as you please.

SCA
You promise it to me before witnesses?

LEA
Yes.

SCA
There, take these five hundred crowns.

LEA
Ah! I will go at once and buy her whom I adore.
