Agostini Manetta:
The question is, Jean-Pierre, what are you doing to do about it?
Jean-Pierre Sarti:
Do? I don't understand.
Agostini Manetta:
The time for losing comes to every man, of course. I had not expected yours to come so soon.
Jean-Pierre Sarti:
There have been problems with the car!
Agostini Manetta:
Come, come, Sarti. I expect excuses like that from lesser men than you. You have been one of the best that ever lived, there is no question of that in my mind. Never a wrong move, concentration always there, 100 percent, till this woman.
Jean-Pierre Sarti:
You have been misled, Sr. Manetta. Do you take me for a trained dog, to jump at the snap of your fingers? My life belongs to no one but myself!
Agostini Manetta:
I have been thinking seriously of your retirement, Sarti.
Jean-Pierre Sarti:
[Angrily]
Then retire me now!
[Manetta pulls Sarti away from bystanders]
Agostini Manetta:
[Quietly]
Kindly lower your voice! Of course I will not retire you now. Tomorrow there is a race to be run, and I also well know that you want to drive it. After tomorrow, who knows, Jean-Pierre?
Jean-Pierre Sarti:
After tomorrow, Sr. Manetta, *I* will decide to retire or not.
Agostini Manetta:
Sarti, you're further gone than I'd thought. A pity, a great pity. I always considered you to be the best.
Jean-Pierre Sarti:
I'm *still* the best!
