[Rossini's 'Largo al factotum della città' aria from 'The Barber of Seville' plays in the background as Jacques enters his bedroom from the bathroom wearing a bathrobe; Maria and Dreyfus are dining downstairs in the kitchen]

Police Commisioner Charles Dreyfus:
Refreshing to hear some good singing for a change.
Maria Gambrelli:
Jacques loves opera.
Police Commisioner Charles Dreyfus:
Are you musically inclined, madame?
Maria Gambrelli:
No.
Police Commisioner Charles Dreyfus:
His father?
Maria Gambrelli:
He played the French horn.
Police Commisioner Charles Dreyfus:
Ah, that probably accounts for it.
[Hans Zarba takes a time bomb, and approaches the Gambrelli house's courtyard, making an opening in the fence]

Police Commisioner Charles Dreyfus:
Why did you name him Jacques?
Maria Gambrelli:
Why not? It's a perfectly good French name.
Police Commisioner Charles Dreyfus:
Yes, but you're Italian.
[Meanwhile, Zarba has just set the time bomb to detonate in 4 minutes]

Police Commisioner Charles Dreyfus:
I knew a man once named Jacques. When he died, ten years ago, I said: "Thank God there can never, never be another one like him." And then I - I met your son.
Maria Gambrelli:
[Jacques leaves his bedroom as the 'Largo al factotum' aria from Rossini's 'The Barber of Seville continues to play on the stereo; the timer has elapsed to 20 seconds and counting down; some time has passed as Maria is recounting part of an unseen conversation]
So I decided, it would be better off if he never knew.
Police Commisioner Charles Dreyfus:
You mean his father is - is -
[Jacques comes through the door as the aria is about to conclude]

Maria Gambrelli:
Clouseau!
Police Commisioner Charles Dreyfus:
[Dreyfus is shocked to learn that Maria has just told him that Clouseau is Jacques' father, and runs out of the room, screaming]
No! It can't be! It can't be!
Maria Gambrelli:
[an explosion occurs in the room that Dreyfus just entered]
Oh, Commissioner...
Police Commisioner Charles Dreyfus:
Ahhh...
[Dreyfus whimpers, as the dog rubs up against his leg, and then he faints from the shock of the explosion and having learned that Jacques Gambrelli is the son of the late Inspector Clouseau]
