- [Chabert is dragging a boy off for punishment]
- Clément Mathieu: What are you doing?
- Chabert: He stole my watch. From my room.
- Clément Mathieu: Where are you taking him?
- Chabert: Dungeon.
- Clément Mathieu: Wait!
- Chabert: Why?
- [Chabert and the boy disappear into the school]
- Clément Mathieu: He's my only baritone.
- Pierre Morhange: What about the solo?
- Clément Mathieu: Which solo?
- Pierre Morhange: My solo.
- Clément Mathieu: Oh. Your solo. No, there's no solo. You don't have a bad voice but no-one's indispensible.
- Clément Mathieu: [talking to Mondain] Sing!
- Mondain: You won't like it.
- Clément Mathieu: I don't care sing!
- Mondain: Okay...
- [singing]
- Mondain: One Summer, I took out my nob, and gave myself a nice handjob...
- [inhales as if to sing another line]
- Clément Mathieu: [interrupting] Enough!
- Mondain: [smiles and chuckles] Hmph!
- Clément Mathieu: Baritone.
- Mondain: What?
- [gives Mathieu a look of surprise and confusion]
- Clément Mathieu: I'm not making fun of you, you are a baritone...
- [Mondain still confused]
- Clément Mathieu: ...it means you sing in a low voice.
- Pépinot enfant: I don't know any songs.
- Clément Mathieu: Well, I'll teach you some. For the moment, I'll name you assistant choir master.
- [Arriving at the school, Mathieu sees a small boy waiting by the gate]
- Clément Mathieu: What are you doing?
- Pépinot enfant: I'm waiting for Saturday. My father is coming to collect me.
- Clément Mathieu: But it's not Saturday today.
- [Morhange's mother has come to visit him]
- Clément Mathieu: [quietly] I didn't tell her last time that you were in detention, I told her you had a toothache and went to the dentist. Don't tell her I lied.
- Clément Mathieu: [they've found the stolen money and a harmonica] You know Mondain was expelled because they thought he'd stolen the money.
- Corbin: No, sir.
- Clément Mathieu: No, that's right you didn't. But now I've told you. So what were you going to do with this money?
- Corbin: If I tell you, do you promise not to tell anyone?
- Clément Mathieu: Promise.
- Corbin: I was going to use it to buy...
- Clément Mathieu: To buy what?
- Corbin: My Montgolfier balloon.

- Leclerc: Sure, why?
- Pépinot enfant: How much is 5 plus 3?
- Leclerc: 53.
- Pépinot enfant: You sure?
- Leclerc: Yeah.
- Pépinot enfant: [excitedly] Thanks.
- Clément Mathieu: [some of the boys are hitting Morhange] Hey, why are you hitting him?
- Pépinot enfant: Because Morhange threw an ink bomb at you.
- Clément Mathieu: [Mathieu finds Pépinot sitting on the stairs] What are you doing down here?
- Pépinot enfant: I don't have the right to go upstairs.
- Clément Mathieu: What do you mean you don't have the right?
- Pépinot enfant: I don't have any money.
- Clément Mathieu: What?
- Pépinot enfant: I'm not allowed to go upstairs unless I have some money.
- Clément Mathieu: Says who?
- Pépinot enfant: Mondain.
