Sca Monologue from The Impostures of Scapin

From The Impostures of Scapin by Molière

male · comedic · 1:08 min

To tell you the truth, there are few things impossible to me when I once set about them. Heaven has bestowed on me a fair enough share of genius for the making up of all those neat strokes of mother wit, for all those ingenious gallantries to which the ignorant and vulgar give the name of impostures; and I can boast, without vanity, that there have been very few men more skilful than I in expedients and intrigues, and who have acquired a greater reputation in the noble profession. But, to tell the truth, merit is too ill rewarded nowadays, and I have given up everything of the kind since the trouble I had through a certain affair which happened to me. (OCT: How? What affair, Scapin?) An adventure in which justice and I fell out. (OCT: Justice and you?) Yes; we had a trifling quarrel.
