Original Text:
LA DAME. - Oh! mon ami...., quel beau turco!... quel beau turco!!..... laisse-moi le contempler encore un peu!...
LE MARI. - Non...., allons nous-en.... tu oublies, bichette, que tu es dans une situation intéressante...... je crains que tu n'attrapes un regard.... et que tu n'accouche d'un petit nègre!.......

Translation:
- THE LADY: Oh, my friend... what a beautiful Turco.... what a splendid Turco... please let me observe him a little longer!
- The husband: better not, my little darling.... don't forget that you are pregnant... and who knows, you might catch a glimpse of his and we'll have a little Negro as a child!
