" You shall give a dance to the Prince!" " I received quite a strange emotion when I saw for the first time the one who had welcomed my son with such mystery." " Is it true that you have traveled much?" " Are you not married?" " I could have been." " Stand reassured, an interlude..." " Remembering Janina." " Concerning Janina, have you read an article...?" " Ah!" "What does this entertainment mean?" " I shall not remain another moment in a house whose master insults his hosts." " Really, the attitude of Morcerf is not one of a man whose conscience is calm..." " Would it be true?" " You are the instigator of this whole affair." " I take your glove for thrown."

" Go tell your master that, if the young ones do not fight anymore, their fathers still know how to fight for them." " Miserable, you who betrayed my father!" " ...who sold me on the public place!" " Edmond Dantes!" "..." " Go and show your Peers how we demean traitors." "The next day, as the police found Caderousse struck by a knife..." " We saw him in a hostel nearby, with a young and elegant man the newspapers were reporting..." " One down!" "Mr. de Villefort." " Have you considered?" " I shall not marry the Prince Cavalcanti." " Do you not understand that I could become minister of the state with such a millionaire prince as son-in-law?" " And my happiness?" " I just wrote today to Mr. Morrel to refuse him your hand." " You shall be princess!" "The marriage contract shall be signed thursday evening." " Do you resign yourself to the will of your father?" " If you found me here on thursday, ready to take you, would you follow me?" " I love you." "The day of the contract."

" Mr. the Count of Monte Cristo shall tell you the same." " I swear that I have told the truth." "If I have slandered, then let Mr. the Attorney General in turn take the oath!" " Mr. President, if you consent to have my testimony supported by a person who is available to the court..." " And the MOTHER, do you recognize her?" " Being interested in Caderousse," "I have had the curiosity of doing some research and I have thus found the mother of Benedetto." " I swear that Villefort seduced me and by a terrible night..." " A new witness asks to be heard." " You are out of luck, Mr. Noirtier de Villefort:" "here is another living one back from the grave." "Madness." " And here's two!" "Appeasement." "I have reunited all of you around the venerable Mr Morrel, hoping to see you form a single family... whose distant relative would be named Edmond Dantes." "Let the past only offer you appeased memories." "The Count of Monte Cristo shall not forget those who loved him and from a distance shall watch over them." "From now on, the soul inclined towards goodness" "Monte-Cristo was seeking oblivion from his suffering in love with Haydee amongst the marvels of the Orient." "THE END"
