Allons donc... que diable cocher, votre coucou n'avance pas!..., 1843. - Nous avons le temps!... nous avons le temps!... je ne vous conduis pas à la lune... si vous vouliez arriver là faillait prendre le chemin de fer...moi je ne vais que jusqu'à Bougival et comme dit le proverbe allemand: qui va piano va sainemento!. ( - Come on, coachman, this old rattletrap isn't moving at all! - We've got time! ... We've got time!.... after all, I'm not taking you to the moon.... if you want to get there, you should have taken the train! I am only going as far as Bougival..... and as the old German [actually Italian] saying goes: "chi va piano va sano" (he who goes slowly goes safely).) Steam locomotive exploding in the background...
