How long, Frenchman, will you put up with disorder and divisions? Oh, Frenchman, a little longer, and all that will remain of you is the memory of your existence, Already the provinces are marching on Paris. Already half of our empire burns with the fire of discord and civil war. There is still a way to extinguish it, but that way must be swift.

Already the vilest of villains, Mara whose name alone is the image of all crimes, is falling under the avenging blade, shaking the mountain and making Danton and Rosespierre pale, those other brigands seated on this bloody throne. Your peace depends on the execution of the law. I am not undermining it by killing Mara. Condemned by the universe, he is outside the law.

What court will judge me? Let my last breath be useful to my fellow citizens. Let my head, held aloft in Paris, be a rallying point for all the friends of the law. Let the universe declare that I deserved well. of humanity.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
