le bourgeois gentilhomme lines

look who it is

i will make my feelings clear

cat got your tongue, covielle?

oh what a villain you are!

i can see that what happened earlier troubled you

ah, ah, we see what we have done

well isn’t that why you were angry, cleonte?

yes, treacherous woman, it is, and if we must speak, i wish to tell you that you will not succeed in your infidelity. i will be the one to sever our attachment, and you will not have the opportunity to chase me away. it will be difficult, no doubt, to vanquish the love i have for you, and for a time i will suffer; but in the end i will stand tall! i would rather pierce myself through the heart than be so weak as to return to you

that’s just a whole lot of noise about nothing. i want to tell you why i avoided you this morning, cleonte

no, i do not want to listen at all.

know that this morning…

no, i am telling you

listen

there is nothing to say

cleonte.

no

stop

lies

one minute

never

two words

no, it is done

if you're going to act like that, then have it your way.

explain, the reason for the warm welcome you gave us?

i don't really want to talk about it anymore

speak plainly

i have no story to tell

mercy!

it’s none of your business

i beg you

go away

lucile!

absolutely not.

for god’s sake!

not a chance.

reassure my doubts.

no, i don’t want to.

well. since you don’t care enough to save me from this anguish, and to justify to yourself your shameful treatment of my love, you see me, ungrateful woman, for the last time. i am going far away from you to die of pain and love.

covielle!

eh?

where are you going?

where i just said.

you’re going to die, cleonte?

yes, cruel woman, if that is what you wish

me? i want you to die?

yes, it is what you want.

who told you that?

your refusal to assuage my doubts has made your feelings quite clear.

and now you know our secret.

are you tricking me lucile?

we’re just gonna give up at that?

ah lucile, with only a single word uttered by your lips you can soothe my nervous heart! how easy it is to be convinced by the people we love.
