Eisenstein is pretending to be a Frenchman "Marquis Renard"; Frank is pretending to be a Frenchman "Chevalier Chagrin"; neither speaks French. Prince Orlofsky introduces the two supposed countrymen to each other, and tells them to converse in French. In this hilarious scene, Eisenstein and Frank wing it by saying what little French they know to each other, such as: Bon Voyage, Mon Dieu, Paree, C'est la Vie, L'Amour, Viva la France, etc. Prince Orlofsky, who knows that they are faking it, quips, "Men of few words." The audience laughs.
