"Now, attend me well, Dantes, for your life may depend on it." "Did you have any personal contact with Napoleon when you were on Elba?" "Elba, yes, I did." "Well, we did." "I was with the Count Mondego's son, Fernand, almost the entire time." " Do you know Fernand?" " He's a recent acquaintance, yes." "Oh, there you are." "He'll vouch for me." "No doubt, but you said, "almost the entire time."" "Except for when Napoleon asked me to deliver a personal letter to a friend in Marseilles." "Well, Dantes, it is for accepting that treasonous correspondence... that you have been denounced by your own first mate, a Monsieur Danglars." " What?" " Did you deliver the letter?" "No, sir, someone was supposed to find me." "It's" " It's still in my jacket." "Here." " Have you read this?" " No, sir, I can't read." "Well, Dantes, this is a letter to one of Napoleon's agents."

"Foolish and innocent." "I believe these are the worst charges that could be leveled against you." "Fortunately, as I've intercepted this document, there's no harm done." "God knows how you're going to survive in this world, Edmond Dantes." "But you are no traitor." "You may go." "Thank you, sir." "Wait, uh, did Napoleon tell you who's supposed to pick up the letter?" "Monsieur Clarion." "What name did you say?" "Monsieur Clarion." "Have you mentioned this name to anyone else?" "Monsieur Mondego or anyone?" "No, sir, in fact, Monsieur Mondego knows nothing of this letter." "This is very dangerous information." "One can never be too careful in times like this." " Don't you think?" " Yes, sir." "Mm-hmm."

" Of course not." "Good." "Stop it, Fernand." "I don't have time for this." "I saw Napoleon give you that letter." "It was you?" "Well, it wasn't just me." "It was Danglars' idea."
