Dr. Charles Gaudet
[edit]- My only crime was saving a life. You call that treason?
Col. Armand Lucien
[edit]- [to Gaudet] Perhaps you'll lose some of that mutinous spirit when you get an axe and a saw in those soft hands.
Dialogue
[edit]- Madame Lucien: [Referring to Gaudet] Did you see him, Daniel?
- Daniel: Yes, Ma'am.
- Madame Lucien: How is he?
- Daniel: Not good, Madame. He'll be a crazy man before long unless he gets out of there.
- Madame Lucien: If there only was some way I could help him!
- Daniel: [He looks around to be sure no one is listening] There is a way, Madame... money, for the bell.
- Madame Lucien: The bell?
- Daniel: That's the word we convicts have for freedom.
- Madame Lucien: Could he... could he buy his way to freedom?
- Daniel: Money will buy anything on this island, Madame. It'll buy a man's way to the coast and a boat too with which he might reach the mainland.
- Madame Lucien: How could we get the money to him?
- Daniel: With more money, Madame. The guards at the pits are changed every day, but all of them can be bribed. It'll take a little time, that's all.
- Guard Drugged by Gaudet: [Referring to Gaudet as he relieves his fellow guard] How's the star boarder?
- Guard Accepting Bribe: Very quiet.
- Guard Drugged by Gaudet: They all quiet down after a while.
