We haven't much time to spare. Jacques has to get on with his new opera.
gpt
I cannot, of course, leave this lady whom I hate.
human
He is a great man now. I congratulate you on his success.
gpt
Jacques was always a great man, but he didn't quite understand it.
human
You enlightened him, madame.
gpt
Exactly.
human
That was very clever of you.
gpt
It wasn't stupid. But I don't happen to be a stupid woman.
human
I know how to detect quality. And I suppose you do?
gpt
Why, madame?
human
You tried to sell libretti to my husband before he was famous.
gpt
And failed.
human
Yes. But now I'm glad to know you have succeeded with another man who is not famous yet.
gpt
You do not believe in my talent, madame. I cannot understand why you should be interested in such a matter.
human
You make the mistake of supposing that a talented man can never be immature. What you offered to my husband was immature; but I always knew you had talent.
gpt
Indeed? You never told me so that I remember.
human
You appeared to be fully aware of it.
