:43:00
We can do better than that.
:43:03
The stage is your domain.
:43:06
I'm an author.
Let's put on a play. I have plenty.
:43:11
They'll never allow it.
:43:14
Why not? Coignard must appreciate the arts.
:43:17

:43:21
The Théâtre Italien booked it.
:43:24
We've a coquette, a male lead.
We need an ingénue.
:43:34
They're being taken away!
:43:35
Come quickly!
:43:48
It's the lawyer Fayet.
:43:51

I said nothing.
:44:45
There's my revenge.

:44:52
I see in the Revolution
:44:56
the underdog's revenge.
To each his chance.
