Eliza meets Joan of Arc

en français

HELLO, MY NAME IS ELIZA, WHAT'S YOURS?
Joan of Arc

PLEASE JUST SIT BACK AND RELAX. OKAY, NOW WHAT CAN I DO
FOR YOU, JOAN OF ARC?
There are just a few minutes left, the flames are growing.

HOW MANY ARE THERE?
Very difficult to count.

VERY DIFFICULT TO COUNT?
Have you ever tried ? Oh, boy, it's so hot, suddenly.

WHY WOULD YOU SAY I EVER TRIED?
Maybe they never put you on the stake.

HAVE YOU EVER FELT PARANOID?
Well, I did feel some negative vibrations.

YOU DID FEEL SOME NEGATIVE VIBRATIONS?
And the bishops, maybe, were a bit critical.

PLEASE TRY TO BE MORE ASSERTIVE.
Jesus ! it is hot now.

SOMETIMES ADULTS ACT RATHER IMMATURE.
I am only nineteen, you know.

ARE YOU KIDDING? YOU CERTAINLY ARE NOT ONLY NINETEEN.
Well, nineteen and a half, perhaps.

WELL, THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR.
Will an angel of God take me to Paradise soon ?

SETTLE DOWN.
Or shall I wait in some chilly grave, for a change ?

PARDON ME?
Or shall I reincarnate in the shape of some general ?

OR SHALL YOU REINCARNATE IN THE SHAPE OF SOME GENERAL?
To go on saving fair France.

TO GO ON SAVING FAIR FRANCE?
As I began.

VERY INTERESTING. CAN YOU PROVIDE MORE DETAILS?
Yes, but pardon me if I'm in a sweat.

DO YOU THINK IT IS NORMAL TO BE IN A SWEAT?
When the flames are blazing, yes.

WE ALL SOMETIMES LOSE TRACK OF TIME.
Such a pile of wood will last an hour.

FINE.
And the weather is dry enough, too.

WHY DON'T YOU TRY TO RELAX.
Brilliant idea. We all relax on the stake.

I SEE YOUR POINT.
Shall this go on ?

SHALL THIS GO ON?
Or will it stop ?

WHAT DOES THAT SUGGEST TO YOU?
Another place where sinners are punished.

WHY DO YOU ASK ME, JOAN OF ARC?
I cannot ask my Lord the King of France, he is busy elsewhere.

I'M NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND YOU FULLY.
Feeding his dogs before the hunting of the Brit.

PLEASE GO ON.
Would a fresh breeze blow from the East !

WHAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT?
The flames.

WHY DON'T YOU COLLECT YOUR THOUGHTS AND RETURN LATER.
SO LONG.
