(Dorante, Madame Jourdain, Nicole)
       DORANTE
       You appear to be very melancholy. What is wrong, Madame Jourdain?
       MADAME JOURDAIN
       I have a head bigger than my fist, even if it's not swollen.
       DORANTE
       Mademoiselle, your daughter, where is she that I don't see her?
       MADAME JOURDAIN
       Mademoiselle my daughter is right where she is.
       DORANTE
       How is she getting on?
       MADAME JOURDAIN
       She "gets on" on her two legs.
       DORANTE
       Wouldn't you like to come with her one of these days to see the ballet and the comedy they are putting on at court?
       MADAME JOURDAIN
       Yes truly, we have a great desire to laugh, a very great desire to laugh.
       DORANTE
       I think, Madame Jourdain, that you must have had many admirers in your youth, beautiful and good humored as you were.
       MADAME JOURDAIN
       By Our Lady! Sir, is Madame Jourdain decrepit, and does her head already shake with palsy?
       DORANTE
       Ah! My faith, Madame Jourdain, I beg pardon. I did not remember that you are young. I am often distracted. Pray excuse my impertinence.
