Exploiting friendship. “My dear Alphonse, I've invited these gentlemen, my friends, to dine at your home. I would like them to taste our champagne, we'll laugh... wait a minute! I've an idea. What if we went to the wood? We could take your barouche and you could lend us some clothes as we only came to pay a simple visite... In the meantime, why don't you give us some cards and some Napoleons to pass the time. Eh? My good Alphonse, dear chap. How about it?,” plate 58 from Caricaturana

Robert Macaire, dentist. “- Damnit Doctor, you pulled out two good teeth and left the two bad ones. - (Robert Macaire aside) Devil!!! … (loud) Of course.... And for a good reason: there will be enough time to pull out the bad ones. The good ones surely would have caused you pain in due time.
