Recipe to cure colic.
- Monsieur Macaire, my good friend, don't make me cancel this performance, I need it desperately!
- Oh my friend, I cannot play, I am in such a pain.
- I beg you, try at least... the public is demanding you.... they are screaming, threatening and will pull out the benches... I will have to take back their tickets. Come now, I will double your salary!
- Oh! Oh! heat some more towels… bring some hot wine and more towels!
- I will triple your salary!
- Keep on heating and beating the towels!
- We'll share the box office receipts!
- Share the receipts? Up with the curtain! The farce has ended and the drama can begin!....
