from the count of monte cristo
Dorleac: Come on, come on, I haven't got all day... wait. Actually, I do. I've got...
[laughs]
ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD!
Dorleac: Now you're thinking, just now "Why me, O God?". The answer is, God has nothing to do with it. In fact, God is never in France this time of year.
Dorleac: Let's make a bargain. You ask God for help, and I'll stop the moment He shows up.
Luigi: So, mi amici. I would ask you your name, but in view of your clothes, and the fact that the Chateau d'If is only two miles away, what's the point?
Edmond: Why are you here?
Luigi: My men and I have come to this island to bury alive one of our men who decided to keep some stolen gold for himself instead of sharing it with his comrades. Interestingly enough, there are some of his friends who think I should grant him mercy, which of course I cannot do or I would quickly lose control of the whole crew. That's why you are such a fortunate find.
Edmond: How's that?
Luigi: We'll watch you and Jacopo fight to the death. If Jacopo wins, he can stay on the crew. If you win, I'll have been seen to have shown a little mercy to Jacopo, even if he didn't take advantage of it, and you can take his place on the boat.
Edmond: What if I don't want to be a pirate?
Luigi: Then we slit your throat and we're a bit shorthanded.
Edmond: I find that the life of a pirate is the one for me and I would be delighted to kill your friend!
Luigi: Oh, and by the way, Jacopo is the best knife fighter I have ever seen.
Edmond: Perhaps you should get out more.
