KHLESTAKOV. Yes, let me have the bill.

SERVANT. I gave you the second one a little while
ago.

KHLESTAKOV. Oh, I can't remember your stupid accounts.
Tell me what the whole comes to.

SERVANT. You were pleased to order dinner the first
day. The second day you only took salmon. And then
you took everything on credit.

KHLESTAKOV. Fool! [Starts to count it all up now.]
How much is it altogether?

GOVERNOR. Please don't trouble yourself. He can
wait. [To the Servant.] Get out of here. The money
will be sent to you.

KHLESTAKOV. Yes, that's so, of course. [He puts
the money in his pocket.]

The Servant goes out. Bobchinsky peeps in at the
door.
