We must help the Americans -- Gold by god! : the fuel of life! -- Last night poor, wealthy today! -- So you mistreat some poor devil -- till he trembles in disgrace! -- I'm the busiest, cleverest fellow I know -- Plotting and pocketing -- I wish to serve your country as if it were my own -- Figaro here, figaro there -- Bright people are so stupid -- What did you do to earn so many rewards? -- Tout finit par des chansons = Everything ends in song -- All of which proves that a son of a clod can be worth his weight in gold
