The Son of Monte Cristo

Edmund Dantes Jr.:
I'm worn out climbing in and out of windows and up and down chimneys. It'll be such a relief to go through an ordinary door again.

Opening crawl:
Menaced by more powerful nations, the country of Lichtenburg - tiny but proud - is known as the Jewel of the Balkans. Steeped in the ancient traditions of romance and chivalry, her people hold unswerving loyalty to the throne - on which now sits the young Grand Duchess Zona, who rules under the sinister shadow of one man, General Gurko Lanen.

[first lines]

Colonel Zimmerman:
Turnkey! Bring out the prisoner William Gluck.

Turnkey:
Yes, Colonel. [opens cell] Come out!

William Gluck:
I thought you were in a hurry to get me in.

Colonel Zimmerman:
If you value your life, give us the names of your accomplices!

William Gluck:
I don't value it that highly.

Gen. Gurko Lanen:
Gluck, that was your second mistake. Men like you never realize I can rule you collectively because I can master you individually.

Innkeeper:
After great effort, I, Hercules Schneider, have found you the only carriage in Petsh. Of course, the horses may not be the best in the world...

Countess Mathilde:
Can they walk?

Innkeeper:
Oh, yes, Madam!

Countess Mathilde:
That's all that's necessary. Point them to Paris and start them moving.

Innkeeper:
Tonight, madam?

Countess Mathilde:
Certainly, tonight!

Innkeeper:
But it's dark!

Countess Mathilde:
You don't say. It usually is at night.

[In the catacombs, General Lanen finds the Resistance hideout deserted. A table has been set with several well-dressed skeletons sitting in chairs around it. A message has been written in chalk on the table top]

Message:
Baron Von Neuhof and I regret not being present to receive you in person but you should feel perfectly at home in such company - The Torch.

Gen. Gurko Lanen:
The Torch! Whoever he is, this 'Torch' is dangerous. He has a sense of humor.

Guard:
Who are you?

Edmund Dantes Jr.:
My friend here will introduce me. [he brandishes his sword and the fight begins]

Edmund Dantes Jr.:
[to Gurko Lanen] I fear your fall will be as spectacular as your rise!

Gen. Gurko Lanen:
The power of diplomacy lies in the fact that the people never discover the truth until it's too late.

Edmund Dantes Jr.:
By the time they figure out where we are, we won't be there.
