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.
The Governor, Khlestakov and Dobchinsky.
GOVERNOR. Would you care to inspect a few institutions in our town now—the philanthropic institutions, for instance, and others?
KHLESTAKOV. But what is there to see?
GOVERNOR. Well, you'll see how they're run—the order in which we keep them.
KHLESTAKOV. Oh, with the greatest pleasure. I'm ready.
