MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: I tell you, they pinch me.
MASTER TAILOR: You imagine that. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: I imagine it because I feel it. That's a good reason for you! MASTER TAILOR: Wait, here is the finest court-suit, and the best matched. It's a masterpiece to have invented a serious suit that is not black. And I give six attempts to the best tailors to equal it. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: What's this? You've put the flowers upside down. MASTER TAILOR: You didn't tell me you wanted them right side up. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Did I have to tell you that? MASTER TAILOR: Yes, surely. All the people of quality wear them this way. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: The people of quality wear the flowers upside down? MASTER TAILOR: Yes, Sir. MONSIEUR JOURDAIN: Oh! It's alright then. MASTER TAILOR: If you like, I'll put them right side up. |
