Le Comte de Frou Frou, I believe.
Eh?
Do you speak English?
A little.
Yes, when you say 'a little', what do you mean? I mean, can we talk, or are we going to spend the rest of the day asking each other the way to the beach in very loud voices?
Oh no. I can order coffee, deal with waiters, make sexy chit-chat with girls, that type of thing.
Oh, good.
Just don't ask me to take a physiology class or direct a light opera.
No, I won't. Now listen, Frou Frou, would you like to earn some money?
No, I wouldn't. I would like other people to earn it and then give it to me, just like in France in the good old days.
Yes, but this is a chance to return to the good old days.
Oh, I would love that! I hate this life. The food is filthy! This huge sausage is very suspicious. If I didn't know better, I'd say it was a horse's-
Yes, yes, alright. The plan is this: I have a bet on with someone that I can get a Frenchman out of Paris. I want you to be that Frenchman. All you have to do is come to the embassy ball with me, say that I rescued you, and walk away with fifty guineas and all the vol-au-vents you can stuff in your pockets. What do you say?
It will be a pleasure! If there is one thing we aristocrats enjoy, it is a fabulous party. Oh, the music! Oh, the laughter! If only I'd brought my mongoose costume.
