Lucas
Very well. But show me better then.
Girard
To an avaricious reader--oh beautiful thought. May a happy fool with a
lucky number--
Lucas
Ha, ha, that's it!
Girard
Yes, it is. Hum, hum.
Lucas
Let's see that.
Girard (turning the list to the other side)
With pleasure. Let's see.
Lucas
Eh! I can't see anything that way.
Girard (turning the other side even worse)
Let's read. Let's see. Ah!
(Girard is moving and raising and lowering the paper so Lucas can't
see.)
Lucas (with a little joy)
What is it? Show me then, friend.
Girard
No. I was mistaken. But, hum, hum. I hope-- (letting Lucas see the
paper) God, I don't see a thing.
Lucas
Ah, by God, I see. Let's see quickly there, Girard. I see something
about me.
Girard (hiding the list)
No, it's nothing at all.
Lucas (joyfully)
And I have seen. My name is there!
Girard
Take it easy. You probably have won nothing. I will give you a hundred
francs at best.
Lucas
No, no. I've seen what I've seen. Lucas, it's my name.
Girard
If you have, at least I want to be reimbursed. Return my money, it's
my only resource.
Lucas
All right. Show quickly.
Girard
It's one of the numbers. It's at least a thousand francs. I have seen
several zeroes.
Lucas
Several zeroes? I intend to see as many as grains of sand.
Girard
You're a man insatiable for zeroes.
Lucas (joyous)
Ah, it's ten thousand francs.
Girard
Curious, yes, I see. But, if that isn't the numeral?
Lucas
By God, I'm really frightened.
Girard
Let's confirm.
