Sca Monologue from The Impostures of Scapin

From The Impostures of Scapin by Molière

male · philosophical · 1:08 min

Ah me! You take my words too much like a philosopher. I mean to say that he was fatally engaged in this affair. (ARG: And why did he engage in it?) Do you expect him to be as wise as you are? Can you put an old head on young shoulders, and expect young people to have all the prudence necessary to do nothing but what is reasonable? Just look at our Léandre, who, in spite of all my lessons, has done even worse than that. I should like to know whether you yourself were not young once, and have not played as many pranks as others? I have heard say that you were a sad fellow in your time, that you played the gallant among the most gallant of those days, and that you never gave in until you had gained your point.
