Dialogue
[Pierre has billed Donald for his own food he brought into the restaurant and leaves it on his table. He looks at it]
Donald Duck: Hey, you dropped something.
Pierre: That is your bill, monsieur.
Donald Duck: Oh, my bill? [But then, he does a double take at it] My... BILL? [He notices that the total amount comes to $35.99; he looks traumatized] Thirty-five dollars? Oh, outrageous! [he points at his different food items] My sandwich! My pie! [He then holds up his tiny cup of coffee he got at the restaurant and then takes out his single nickel] But... my coffee! I just got a nickel.
Pierre: No, no, no, no, no nickel; thirty-five ninety-nine dollars!
[Donald, having been found guilty, is serving his sentence in the restaurant, washing dishes for ten days. Most of the dishes, however, get smashed by Donald; last lines]
Pierre: [pleadingly] Please, I forgive you, but don't wash any more dishes. I'll pay you. I'll... I'll feed you! Anything! [he sobs]
Donald Duck: You heard what the judge said: ten days!
Pierre: [shocked] Ten more days!
