Translation courtesy of Supertitlist Tom Getty:
(Therese):
Let's get rid of our breasts!
Well, what do you know?
Not only am I growing a beard,
But a mustache as well.
Damn, I look like a field of corn
Waiting for the mechanical reaper.
I feel like a real stud.
I am a stallion.
From head to toe, I'm a bull, or a toreador.
Let's not reveal all my plans just yet.
Heroes, hide your weapons.
And you, my less manly man,
Raise as big a ruckus as you like!
Husband: Give me some bacon...
Therese: Go stick your head in slop.
(Husband):
But this is not Therese my wife!
Who's this lout, and in her clothes?
He's a murderer! He killed her!
Therese! My little Therese! Where are you?
And you, you coward disguised as Therese, I shall kill you!
Therese: You're right, I'm no longer your wife.
Husband: You don't say!
Therese: And yet, I am Therese.
Husband: You don't say!
Therese: But Therese is not a woman.
Husband: That's too much!
Therese: Since I've become a handsome guy...
Husband: I hadn't noticed.
Therese: I shall take a man's name: TIRESIAS!
Husband: Toodle-oosias!
