- Cabriolets and a share in horse business. It just won't run, my horse eats me alive, my costs devour me, I'm dying of hunger.
- Poor old Bertrand, you really are stupid. Change your old nag for a thorough-bred, your cheap old crock for a Tilbury, your miserable livery for a jockey's silks, cast your share of fortune into stocks... Capital of three hundred thousand francs! Promises, jokes without rhyme or reason, increase your outlay, reduce the profits, you'll make up on the quantity...
- On the quantity of what?
- The quantity of shares, you mug!!
