O! Non non non Mesye! (Oh no no no sir!)

O O! Poukisa w di non? (Why do you say no?)

Paske sa se yon travay pou madanm ou, pa pou mwen menm! (Because this a job for your wife, not for me!)

Enben, eske w ta vle marye avè m pou w kapab vin madanm mwen? (Well would like to marry me so you can become my wife?)

Non mèsi mesye. Ou pa bezwen yon madanm. Se yon bòn ou bezwen! (No thanks sir. You don't need a wife. You need a servant)

Enben, mèsi kanmenm! (Well, thanks anyway!)

Se te yon gran plezi mesye! (It was a great pleasure sir!)
