[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!

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.
