Sca Monologue from The Impostures of Scapin

From The Impostures of Scapin by Molière

male · dramatic · 56 sec

Wait a little; it is coming. Whilst we were eating, the galley left the harbour, and when in the open sea, the Turk made me go down into a boat, and sent me to tell you that unless you sent by me five hundred crowns, he would take your son prisoner to Algiers. (GER: What! five hundred crowns!) Yes, Sir; and, moreover, he only gave me two hours to find them in. (GER: Ah! the scoundrel of a Turk to murder me in that fashion!) It is for you, Sir, to see quickly about the means of saving from slavery a son whom you love so tenderly.
