It's the end of Tartuffe, and Tartuffe is ready to leave. He's done with the play, and now he's ready to "hire" Tartuffe's beauty. Tartuffe says that he and his friend have been drinking together since the first time they saw each other onstage, and that they've been able to communicate so well because they're both "drunk" by love. He tells his friend that he can't wait to see what Tartuffe will do with his "beautiful body" when he leaves the theater. He also tells him that he'll call Tartuffe later, when he can "sell" his body to someone who'll take care of it for him.
