Devil's Island

Dr. Charles Gaudet:
My only crime was saving a life. You call that treason?

Col. Armand Lucien:
[to Gaudet] Perhaps you'll lose some of that mutinous spirit when you get an axe and a saw in those soft hands.

Madame Lucien:
[Refering to Gaudet] Did you see him, Daniel?

Daniel - Madame Lucien's Servant:
Yes, Ma'am.

Madame Lucien:
How is he?

Daniel - Madame Lucien's Servant:
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 - Madame Lucien's Servant:
[He looks around to be sure no one is listening] There is a way, Madame... money, for the bell.

Madame Lucien:
The bell?

Daniel - Madame Lucien's Servant:
That's the word we convicts have for freedom.

Madame Lucien:
Could he... could he buy his way to freedom?

Daniel - Madame Lucien's Servant:
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 - Madame Lucien's Servant:
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:
[Refering to Gaudet as he relieves his fellow guard] How's the star boarder?

Guard Accepting Bribe:
Very quiet.

Guard Drugged by Gaudet:
[Cynically] They all quiet down after a while.
