Plate 71: You're not ashamed, you, a landlord, to ask for money from a poor devil of a tenant..., from 'Caricaturana,' published in Les Robert Macaires
- You're not ashamed, you, a landlord, to ask for money from a poor devil of a tenant...
- From whom then should I ask for money, the tax man?
- Go and ask who the hell you like, but I won't give you any, on the contrary...
- On the contrary!!!!! Perhaps I should give you some to get rid of you...
- Well said, my kind Cresus, you can give me some for my moving and for my re-installation, with compensation... Otherwise... I'll stay... cause expenses... Notification, avocation, adjudication, implementation... All that paraphernalia, all that trouble... we'll laugh our heads off!...
