Barnabas Collins: I'll tell you something. I think of our relationship as more of a duel: two superb swordsmen with highly sharpened blades. You thrust, I parry... I thrust, you parry.Burke Devlin: I prefer my simile to yours.Barnabas Collins: Why?Burke Devlin: Well, mine is merely a game, which one either wins or loses, depending on the cards.Barnabas Collins: And mine?Burke Devlin: Well, yours seems to be a matter of complete desperation: life or death. To lose a duel with you would be to lose everything, including one's life.Barnabas Collins: But isn't that the purpose of a duel?Burke Devlin: If a duel is necessary. Is it?Barnabas Collins: Well, that can't be determined, until the sword is in one's hand. But you make me sound so evil, when all the time the stakes of a card game could also be the same: life or death.Burke Devlin: I think we've played ourselves into a stalemate.Barnabas Collins: A temporary one.
