Françoise. Paris air!
Marcel. Precisely.
Françoise. And your work?
Marcel. I'm not in the mood.
Françoise. It's only ten days before the Salon: you'll never be ready.
Marcel. What chance have I, with my talent?
Françoise. You have a great deal of talent—it's recognized everywhere.
Marcel. I did have.
[A pause.]
Françoise. Will you be home for dinner?
