Original text:
- Ainsi donc, quoique j' vous avoue, entre nous, qu'cest moi qu'a volé la toquante au père Jérôme, vous n'mabandonnez pas pour ça!...
- Eh! mon cher voleur.... vous connaissez bien mal mon coeur.... s'il n'y avait plus de filous il n'y aurait plus d'avocats..... maintenant que je suis bien certain que c'est vous qui avez fait le coup.... je plaiderai l'alibi!...
Translation:
- So even if I admit, between us, that I stole Father Jerome's watch, you won't drop my case?
- My dear thief, you really don't understand my position... if there were no offenders there would hardly be any lawyers....
Now that I know you are guilty, I will work on your alibi...
