The Iron Mask Quote

Fouquet: [With contempt] Let me congradulate you, my friend, but then you always had the most annoying habit of bringing about the things you wish to bring about. Most amusing comedy - worthy of so great a playwright!

Colbert: As a fellow playwright you understand how narrow the line dividing comedy and tragedy.

Fouquet: Quite right, and I'm afraid His Majesty's executioner will provide the tragedy when this charming little comedy is finished.

Colbert: His Majesty's executioner could provide the tragedy before the comedy is finished.
