Lucas Then I don't know any more than an animal? Oh, my third advice, it's to have a tete-a-tete.
Lisette
Go find the Baron alone.
Lucas
Yes, I understand.
Lisette And, I alone am going to find Mr. Argon. You finish one side, I will finish the other.
Lucas
Wow! That's very good. I will marry them both before the notary.
Lisette As for me, when both contracts are drawn up—I will see. The first one to sign—that's the one I'll take.
Lucas You will take hastily. It's the chance of the game. Let's sign two contracts soon, for fear we will lack one.
Lisette
Mr. Argon's waiting for me. I'm off.
(Exit Lisette.)
Lucas (alone) Go, quick, go. But how can she get that all out of her own head? I believe she must have two brains, for she always amazes me. Yes, she's only my daughter. By God, her wit is already far ahead of mine.
