[to Rosset]
Reagan, the American Reporter : Hello, chief.
Prefect Rosset : Ah, Monsieur Regan. You're the gentleman who's going to cover this execution?
Reagan, the American Reporter : Yeah, I wish they'd cover it so I can't see it. You know I got a weak stomach.
Prefect Rosset : This Rollo is an American.
Reagan, the American Reporter : Yes, that's why it'd make a good story for our paper.
Prefect Rosset : The fact is we're anxious to avoid undue sensationalism in the American papers.
Reagan, the American Reporter : Oh, I know what you mean. I'll use a soft pencil.
Prefect Rosset : Thank you. And if as you say your nerves are a little weak, I suggest you bring a flask of cognac.
Reagan, the American Reporter : Nah, gin, chief. Gin for executions, beer for birthdays, wine for weddings, and champagne...
[kisses fingertips]
Reagan, the American Reporter : oh ho, champagne!
Prefect Rosset : For what?
Reagan, the American Reporter : You ask that and you're a Frenchman?
