Original Text:
Robert-Macaire Avocat.
Mon cher Bertrand, donnes moi cent écus, je te fais acquitter d’emblée. – J’ai pas d’argent. – Hé bien donnes moi 100F - pas le sou - tu n'as pas dix francs?.... pas un liard! alors donnes moi tes bottes je plaiderai la circonstance atténuante.

Translation:
Robert Macaire, barrister.
- My dear Bertrand, give me a hundred crowns and I'll get you acquitted right away.
- I've no money.
- All right, give me a hundred francs.
- I haven't got a penny.
- You don't even have ten francs?
- Not a farthing.
- Then give me your boots, and I'll plead extenuating circumstances.
