My Name is Napoleon©By Author ACP All rights reserved.

Napoleon calls from atop his horse. He overlooks
|Waterloo. The scavengers have descended to
sift the spoils.

“Bonjour Duc!”

(Translator): In English with a French accent. Good morning, Duke.

“Il semble qu’après 23 ans de combats, on nous ait enfin donné la peau.” Napoleon says.

(Translator): It seems after 23 years of fighting we have finally had our ass handed to us.

Duke, “Jolly right Sir.”

“Je suppose que nous pouvons dire adieu à notre domination impériale et à notre contrôle de l’Europe.” Napoléon quips.

Duke Chuckles, “Well, If you mean you can kiss your ass good-bye! Fucking Hell!”
