Peter Gilmore: Citizen Robespierre
Quotes
-
[the Black Fingernail has rescued a French aristocrat, the Duc de Pommfrit, from the guillotine and left his calling card there]
Citizen Robespierre : So, Citizen Head of Secret Police Camembert, the one who calls himself "The Black Fingernail" has fooled you again.
Camembert : Oh, I wouldn't say that, citizen.
Citizen Robespierre : Oh, you wouldn't?
Camembert : No.
Citizen Robespierre : [Waves paper with Black Fingernail's sign on it] This is his calling card. It was found on the guillotine after that disgraceful exhibition this afternoon.
Camembert : Yes, that's true, but he didn't fool me. Oh no, not for one moment.
Citizen Robespierre : [Sarcastically] He didn't? Oh, perhaps I've got the story wrong. This time he posed as an insurance salesman, correct?
Camembert : Yes.
Citizen Robespierre : Abducted the Duc de Pommfrit from under your very nose?
Camembert : Yes.
Citizen Robespierre : And tricked you into executing your own executioner?
Camembert : Yes.
Citizen Robespierre : [shouting] And he didn't fool you for one minute?
Camembert : I knew who he was. I wanted to see how far he would go.
Citizen Robespierre : Mon blooming dieu. He couldn't have gone very much further could he?
Camembert : Oh, I don't know. We've still got the guillotine!

Citizen Robespierre : Have either of you ever seen a man looking like that?
Camembert : Well, it's marvelous what you can do with a bit of padding. If I could just have a bit of a prod...
Citizen Robespierre : No you cannot have a bit of a prod! Imbecile! Admit it. This Fingernail has made a monkey of you, yet again.
