Pierrette:
As you ladies want the whole truth, I'd like to add a tidbit of information you lack.
Gaby:
What is it this time?
Pierrette:
Marcel and your new maid, Louise, have known each other for five years.
Gaby:
What?
Pierrette:

Pierrette:

Catherine:
Suzon, I forgot one thing. I heard a strange sound. I looked through Augustine's keyhole, and I saw her standing at the mirror with something shiny. I thought nothing of it, but now I'm sure she was sharpening a knife!
Augustine:

Gaby:

Augustine:

Pierrette:

Louise:

Pierrette:

Louise:
You know, since we sleep with the same ones, let me explain the bribe. I overheard you say to Monsieur, "Give me the money or you'll die."
Pierrette:
No I said, "I'll die."
Louise:
No, "You'll die."
Pierrette:
My poor Louise! Your word is no good, you're just a maid.
Louise:
Nor is yours. You're just a whore.
Pierrette:
Which I prefer.
