The film:

“Robinet is challenged to a duel and accept it. But when it’s time to choose the weapons, he starts to be more and more scared and he discards them all, one by one. When he can’t take a longer time, he ends up choosing two bottles of champagne, definitely the least dangerous weapons that he could have found.”
