Joseph Schildkraut credited as playing...
Fouquet
- Fouquet: [With contempt] Let me congradulate you, my friend, but then you always had the most annoying habit of bringing about the things you wish to bring about. Most amusing comedy - worthy of so great a playwright!
- Colbert: As a fellow playwright you understand how narrow the line dividing comedy and tragedy.
- Fouquet: Quite right, and I'm afraid His Majesty's executioner will provide the tragedy when this charming little comedy is finished.
- Colbert: His Majesty's executioner could provide the tragedy before the comedy is finished.
