In the beginning of the play, the Villa-owner Juliette is shown to be in a very sad mood. She’s talking to her maid about the villa which she wants to sell. She had hung the sign ‘For sale’ outside the gate one month ago but no customer had come forward to buy it. She seems to be quite in a hurry to dispose it off at one hundred thousand francs. The villa is near Join ville, the French Hollywood, but even then she is finding it difficult to sell it. At this stage the maid suggests her to play a role of a cook in a film and earn some money but she politely refuses. Suddenly, the bell rings. The maid opens the door to find a couple, Gaston and Jeanne, standing at the door.
The couple have come to see the villa. The husband Gaston seems reluctant to buy the villa. He makes all kinds of excuses for not buying the villa. BuJ Jeanne wishes to see the villa at least once so that they can think before making the final decision. At one point, both of them almost start quarrelling Gaston hints that Jeanne wants to buy the villa for her parents and that’s also one of the reasons why Gaston doesn’t want to buy it. Both of them decided to leave the place without talking to Juliette who suddenly makes her entry at this point.
They exchange wishes and then Juliette starts describing the villa. She tells them that it has all the advantages like electricity, gas, water, telephone, drainage etc. The bathroom is beautifully fitted. There are two bedrooms, a kitchen and a servant room. The villa also has a garden. A picture of a painter, Corot, is hung in the room. Juliette tells them that she will not sell the picture along with the villa; she will keep the picture for herself. Juliette makes the first offer of two hundred and fifty thousand francs which is put down by Gaston, so she reduces the price to two hundred thousand francs.
Gaston is still unwilling to buy the villa. But Jeanne wants to go and see the upper floor and the bathroom. Gaston politely puts down the offer and prefers to sit back and relax.
Jeanne goes with Juliette alone to see the upper floor.
