Two rapins, or painter’s apprentices, “share” a meal. The younger, more naïve of the two, seated on the stove, will have to learn the hard way that the law of the great capi-tal—Balzac called it a jungle—is “every man for himself.”
— Vois-tu, camarade, voilà comme tu trouveras toujours les vrais artistes ... se partageant tout ... en frères ... la bonne et la mauvaise fortune ... tout ! ta gibelotte est excellente!
— Oui, mais, camarade, vous ne m'en laissez pas !
— You see, friend, this is how you'll always find true artists... sharing everything...like brothers...through good times and bad times ... everything! Your stew is excellent!
—Yes, but friend, you haven't left me any!
