:13:00
grunter, grimacer and posturer
who weighs down heavy on his lines.

:13:05
Secondly, well that's my secret
:13:08
You deprive us without a scruple
of a great play!

:13:12
Old mule!
:13:14
The work is worth less than nought.
I silenced it without a thought.

:13:19
Lord in heaven! Our Baro!
:13:23
What of the money to pay back?
:13:24
Bellerose, those are wise words.
:13:28
I do not wish to see Thespis' robe
full of tatters. Take this and go.

:13:47
You're mad! That famous actor
has the Duc de Candale as protector.

:13:52
Do you have a patron?
:13:53
No patron?
:13:54
No name to protect you?
:13:57
I said no twice. Must it be a third?
:14:00
My patronness here keeps her word.
:14:03
Turn and walk!
:14:04
But...
:14:05
Why are you looking at my nose?
Does it disgust you?

:14:09
Not at all.
:14:11
Is it soft and dangling?
:14:12
I did not look at it.
:14:14
And why did you not look at it?
:14:16
Sickened you, did it?
:14:18
Is the colour all wrong?
:14:20
Is it obscene?
Not at all.

:14:22
Why then do y ou criticize?
Do you find it too large in size?

:14:25
It's terribly small, minuscule.
:14:28
What was that?
:14:30
Is that an insult? My nose is small, eh
:14:33
Oh, God!
:14:35
My nose, sir, is enormous!
:14:39
Cretinous moron
a man ought to be proud

:14:43
proud of such an appendix.
:14:45
A great nose may be an index
of a great soul - kind, endowed

:14:50
with liberality and courage...
:14:52
like mine, you rat-brained dunce
unlike yours, all rancid porridge.

:14:58
It would be grotesque to fist
your wretched mug...
