Cesar Soubeyran dit 'Le Papet'
- Ugolin: [to Manon] You know that. I told you so in the hills. I love you unbearably. Listen... please listen, Manon. Ever since I saw you, ever since I spoke to you, food has been turning to sawdust in my mouth, sleep has been a torment. If you reject me, I will die or go mad.
- Cesar Soubeyran: Shut up, you fool. Shut up. Let's go.
- Cesar Soubeyran: Do you know who she looks like?
- Ugolin: Nobody!
- Cesar Soubeyran: Yes, she does. She looks like someone you never knew. She's the splitting image of her grandmother.
- Ugolin: Did you know her?
- Cesar Soubeyran: Florette de Camoins. A great beauty.
- Cesar Soubeyran: [to the villages] Come on, you men! You're natives like me: tell him there was no spring! Listen: anyone who knew was one, and didn't tell the hunchback is responsible for his death.

- Le Fleuriste: Voila!
- [pause]
- Le Fleuriste: Next time I won't pay this much. The competition from Italy is ruining me.
- Cesar Soubeyran: This barely pays for the fertilizer for the flowers. Next year we'll grow chickpeas.
- Le Fleuriste: I'll miss our aperitifs together.
- Ugolin: Papet, my spring has dried up!
- Cesar Soubeyran: What?
- Ugolin: No water.
- Cesar Soubeyran: None at all?
- Ugolin: No. I dug a deep hole. Not a drop. My carnations are budding.
