Quotes 

• De Villefort : [to Monte Cristo]  I'm afraid my daughter is outspoken to a fault... and slightly ill-mannered.

• Edmond Dantes : If a man tortures or murders your brother or your son - or your father - kills one of those beings who leave an eternal emptiness and a bleeding wound when they're torn from your heart, do you really think society has given you sufficient reparation because the blade of the guillotine has passed between the murderer's trapezius and his occipital bone? Because the man who cause you *immeasurable* suffering has endured a few seconds of physical pain?

  De Villefort : My dear Count, are you suggesting the medieval way - torture?

  Edmond Dantes : I am suggesting the holy remedy: an eye for an eye.

• Valentine De Villefort : Monsieur, are you busy?

  Edmond Dantes : Am I...

  Valentine De Villefort : Do me the greatest of favors. Will you come to meet my grandfather?

  De Villefort : Valentine, will you stop this nonsense?

  Valentine De Villefort : You would brighten his life tremendously. Come on.

  Edmond Dantes : [getting dragged out]  Mademoiselle honors me.
