I longed so much for my departure… Never have I longed so much for one thing. I suffered a humiliation that is unprecedented. If they had accepted the King, you and I would be save. My dear friend… I've been so worried. I thought you were ill. Terrible ideas were lurking in my mind. But now you're here. Splendid. How you beautiful you are in this green dress. Watery green? Mellow green? Pastel green?

Jade green? Or green like a baby crocodile?

You're wrong, my sweet. Neither crocodile green, nor spinach green, nor acid green.

Silk green? Or green like envy?

Envy is the most common thing this world. Everyone covets a status higher than their own.

And so they end up bumping against the ceiling.

If only I could have you always by my side. You're like a fountain of youth to me. Have you seen all those desolate faces? Crows with a rancid smell. And suddenly I saw you, enchanting in your dress.

Light green is the color of hope.

Did you put it on for me?

Only for you, Madame.

You know, my dear friend… I don't exaggerate about the hate that surrounds us. I've drawn you into this. It's my fault that the people want your head. You know what I've learned from the Council this morning? Yesterday in Paris, a woman had been stabbed in her carriage. The killers thought it was you. It's not enough for them anymore to burn us in effigy. They want us… in the flesh. Therefore, my dear Gabrielle, I beg you… Leave France! You and your family.

You're certainly right, Madame. Since it's required, I will go.

Don't say anything anymore. Leave! Wait! Let me breathe for the last time the scent of your youth.

Don't allow that I abandon you.

You already did. It's done. You've abandoned me.
