Gaston Morrell: Lamarte, how many others have you told that I painted the pictures you have sold to the Duke? Jean Lamarte: No one. No one. Gaston Morrell: You're not telling me the truth. [Gaston has closed the door. And finds that Deschamp was lying on the floor] Gaston Morrell: And you were trying to sneak out of here leaving the blame for this to me as well.
