Mathilde: One only has to say the word "English," and they come running like sick black dogs at low tide.

Captain: Well, I heard about your selfless heroics with the Iroquois and the tragedy with the priests. Well, I suppose there's nothing more that needs to be said on the subject. Silence will suffice then. Good day. [bell jingling] Might I have a word, Mathilde?

Mathilde: Perhaps the kitchen is best.

Captain: Of course. I wish to make you a proposition.

Mathilde: Go on.

Captain: I should like to make use of your stables. I have an excess of barrels, trade having slowed due to the recent unrest. I am prepared to pay you handsomely.

Mathilde: You can store them free of charge. [pats]

Captain: No. I insist I will pay.

Mathilde: Oh, yes. A few coins, but that is not the only reason you are here.

Captain: It is.

Mathilde: Oh, and it is a shame, because there is a greater deal to be made besides storing a few barrels in my stables for some coins.

Captain: Well, only a fool would refuse to entertain a greater deal. Go on.

Mathilde: Go on, [inaudible]. Bye.

Captain: You wish to restore your standing in this town. Am I right?

Mathilde: I shall recover my good name.

Captain: Barrels and trade do not remove the stain of your English name.

Mathilde: They have before.

Captain: Those times are gone. You overstepped, Mr. Cooke. Only a stubborn man would walk upon a frozen lake when the sun is shining.

Mathilde: We can help each other.

Captain: How is that?

Mathilde: I believe Delphine has caught your eye.

Captain: I don't know what you're talking about.

Mathilde: Come now, Mr. Cooke. I have seen it with my own eyes. There is no shame in looking upon her beauty. It is there for all to see.

Captain: Now, then, it would be prudent for you to make a match with her. And in return, you will help me expand the inn.

Mathilde: Captain, I came here merely to store excess barrels.

Captain: And if you agree to my terms, you will leave with a French wife.

Mathilde: Right. Then we shall agree to the storage of the barrels.

Captain: Think on it if you must, but you will come to the same place. [creaking]
