SIGNORA FANTASTICI: We will take care that the ramparts will be easy to approach.
MR. DE KRIEGSCHENMAHL: And I will take the town?
SIGNORA FANTASTICI: Without a doubt.
MR. DE KRIEGSCHENMAHL: Ah, what a pleasure for me; I've always been beaten.
SIGNORA FANTASTICI: You see plainly that acting repairs the faults of destiny. And you, Madame de Kriegschenmahl, we pray you to accept in our play the role of a respectable woman.
MADAME DE KRIEGSCHENMAHL: And why so respectable?
SIGNORA FANTASTICI: Excuse me, I thought--
MADAME DE KRIEGSCHENMAHL: Do you think that the one wouldn't be as agreeable as the other?
SIGNORA FANTASTICI: Well! Madame. Play the great flirts. I abdicate and I give them to you.
MR. DE KRIEGSCHENMAHL: What now, Madame De Kriegschenmahl?
MADAME DE KRIEGSCHENMAHL: Dear spouse, control your jealous transports. I will be a flirt only on the stage. Everywhere else--you know me.
SIGNORA FANTASTICI: Now then, here we are all content and we are going to celebrate suitably, the triumph of poetry over prose.
