Robert Macaire, dentist. “- Damnit Doctor, you pulled out two good teeth and left the two bad ones. - (Robert Macaire aside) Devil!!! … (loud) Of course....

Exploiting friendship. “My dear Alphonse, I've invited these gentlemen, my friends, to dine at your home. I would like them to taste our champagne, we'll laugh... wait a minute! I've an idea.
