Oh, excuse me, sailor. I thought you were an acquaintance of mine. Since I have already disturbed you, how about a game of faro? You have some money to bet, right? |
| 2 |
Lady luck is on my side it seems! Don’t worry, I am sure you will win your money back soon from another poor fellow. Come, eating something will make you feel better. It always works for me. |
| 3 |
My name is Giacomo Casanova. It’s a pleasure. Maybe you have heard of me already, I have quite the reputation around Venice. Just ask anyone. |
| 4 |
What did I tell you? I am famous around here. Having a friend like me will be convenient for you, captain. So are you interested in helping me out? Nothing illegal, don’t worry. |
| 5 |
I have been thinking that it’s time to leave Venice. I have achieved what I could here. And also there is a woman who rejected me and many painful memories. So I need a passage out of here. |
| 6 |
I have been thinking that Paris would be a city worthy of a man like me. What do you think? Ever been in France? If your ships are ready to set sail, so am I. Hoist the anchor! |
| 7 |
I might have been too eager to get going. But I can’t leave before I say goodbye to my dear friends in Venice. I can’t speak to each of the ladies personally, that would take months. A rose must suffice. |
| 8 |
I will need some money to get started in Paris. I hear it’s an expensive city. I am asking just for a small loan. I will multiply the money in cards and return the loan to you soon. |
| 9 |
You are such a good person, captain. I am lucky I met you. Now I am ready to leave for Paris. Tell your sailors to get to work. France is waiting for Casanova! |
| 10 |
It’s breathtaking! I fell in love with this city at first sight. Let’s take a stroll along the promenade and stop to eat some French delicacies on the way. French cuisine is supposed to be exquisite. |
| 11 |
I won’t keep you, captain. I know you are busy with your ship business. But stop by from time to time. I might need your help. You wouldn’t leave a friend in trouble, right? |
| 12 |
I am doing splendidly, captain. I just love Paris and Paris loves me. To make the Parisien women love me too I need a little bit of your help. Nothing difficult, my charm will do the rest. |
| 13 |
I started learning French. It’s the language of love. Unfortunately, I can’t talk with you any longer. I have an appointment. Please talk to my butler, he will tell you what I need. |
| 14 |
Bad news, captain. Marquis de la Roche has challenged me to a duel. I supposedly dishonored his wife. Such nonsense! However, I will probably have to prepare for the duel. |
| 15 |
I won’t need weapons. We are going back to Venice, my dear captain. Paris was wonderful but it’s time to return home. Call your crew back to work. We must sail before the sun rises. |
| 16 |
You know I left Venice with everything I had and now that I had to leave Paris in such a hurry, my pockets are empty. You won’t mind financing your good friend for a while, right? |
| 17 |
You are such a wonderful friend, captain. I will make sure to introduce you to some important people back home. They will help you get into a lucrative business. But let’s eat something first. |
| 18 |
I am going to check on my house. It was not in good shape when I left two years ago. I will probably have to chase out rats and other vermin. Maybe even rebuild the thing. |
| 19 |
Before I get to rebuilding, I will need to rekindle my old contacts. A small token of affection is always appreciated especially since I have been gone so long. So help me here a bit, captain. |
| 20 |
I have a big problem! The police want to arrest me. I have just a few minutes before they come for me. Please contact my friend Bettina Gozi. She will know what to do. |
| Final |
Take these precious perfumes, before the police confiscate everything I have. Even a pig would be irresistible with this scent. |
GIACOMO CASANOVA I.
