...Andrea Kosinski wants to meet him. She says that because she is his public she has a right to. Goddard remembers that John Lennon's public killed him and continues hiding his identity even from his parents. To unmask Goddard, Andre enlists the unlikely help of Patrick Domostroy, a once prominent classical composer perfectly content at being reduced to playing the piano at a "pinball joint that tries to pass for a nightclub."

Orgon, at last convinced, drives Tartuffe from the house (but not without several last-minute complications...
Rodgers displays the modesty and lightheadedness appropriate to a French wife, but reveals her character's cleverness at using feminine charm to unmask Tartuffe. In the funnlest scene, Elmire summons Tartuffe, instructing her husband to hide under the table so he may witness the ingrate's treachery for himself. The scene exhibits Moliere's expertise with farce and dramatic suspense...
