Monique Delvaux-Sarti
- Monique Delvaux-Sarti: He now wonders if you're ready to be beaten.
- Jean-Pierre Sarti: No one is ever ready for that.
- Monique Delvaux-Sarti: You will never retire, Jean-Pierre.
- Jean-Pierre Sarti: What does it matter to you, Monique?
- Monique Delvaux-Sarti: To me?
- Jean-Pierre Sarti: Yes.
- Monique Delvaux-Sarti: As always, as a hero, you're a good asset to the company.
- Jean-Pierre Sarti: Well, perhaps, I'm tired of being an asset to the company. And tired, too, of this farce we perform, you and I, for public consumption.
- Monique Delvaux-Sarti: Well, it doesn't really matter that you are tired of these things, Jean-Pierre. If you should decide not to continue with, eh, the farce, as you call it, that of course is up to you. But it will make no difference. As long as you're my husband, the company will have the prestige of your name, and whether or not you ever step into one of these again. And you will always be my husband. You know that, don't you. This one may be different to you, but not to me. To me, she's just like all the others, and we will always be married, you and I.
- Jean-Pierre Sarti: Stay away from me, Monique! Let me alone, please!
- [pause]
- Jean-Pierre Sarti: Tell me, what terrible thing have I done to you that make you want to labor me to this absurd life we have together? What terrible thing, Monique?
- Monique Delvaux-Sarti: All you have to do is to beat my husband.
- Nino Barlini: The question is, is he ready to be beaten?
