PHILOSOPHY MASTER: Would you like to learn morality?

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Morality?

PHILOSOPHY MASTER: Yes.

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: What does it say, this morality?

PHILOSOPHY MASTER: It treats of happiness, teaches men to moderate
their passions, and ...

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: No, let's leave that. I'm as choleric as all the
devils and there's no morality that sticks, I want to be as full of
anger as I want whenever I like.

PHILOSOPHY MASTER: Would you like to learn physics?

MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: What's it about, this physics?

PHILOSOPHY MASTER: Physics explains the principles of natural
things and the properties of the material world; it discourses on
the nature of the elements, of metals, minerals, of stones, of
plants and animals, and teaches the causes of all the meteors, the
rainbow, the will o' the wisps, the comets, lightning, thunder,
thunderbolts, rain, snow, hail, winds, and whirlwinds.
