- What the devil Macaire! You, in charge of a charity office! Are you going to keep everything for yourself? Won't you give something to your poor friend Bertrand? - Poor, you say! You, who lives on nothing, who's not in the habit of spending. What about me, who can't do without servants, horses, mistresses, luxuries of every kind?... I'm the poorest man in my neighborhood. The money raised by charity belongs rightly to me.
