Can I go now, now that I'm here? You are so pretty that I— Françoise. Not when I'm in trouble. Marcel. Don't cry! Françoise. I forgive you! Marcel. Wait, I haven't confessed everything. Françoise. Not another word! Marcel. I want to be sincere. Françoise. I prefer you to lie to me! Marcel. First, read this note—the one I received this morning. Françoise. From Madame Guérin? Marcel. You saw her not long ago. Yes, she calmly told me— Françoise. That her husband had found some letters! Marcel. And that she was about to leave for England with her lover. Françoise. Then she is quite consoled? Marcel. Perfectly. Françoise. Poor Marcel! And you went to see her and try to prevent her going away with him? Marcel. My foolishness was well punished. She wouldn't receive me. Françoise. Then I am the only one left who loves you? How happy I am! Marcel. I'll kill that love some day with my ridiculous philandering! Françoise. I defy you!
