CARTON MY FIRST CARD IS AN ACE. I'M CERTAIN YOU'LL AGREE. CONCERNING THE AFFAIRS OF A WELL-KNOWN FRENCH MARQUIS. SEEMS BEFORE YOU WERE SPY OF THE PRISON YOU SPENT SOME TIME IN HIS EMPLOY. DARE I SPEAK THAT FOUL NAME THAT THEY'VE CURSED STRAIGHT TO HELL? WHOSE UNFORTUNATE NEPHEW NOW SITS IN A CELL. WOULD THEY STILL LET YOU LIVE IF THEY KNEW OF YOUR BOND WITH THE DAMNED UNFORGIVEABLE MARQUIS CALLED ST. EVREMONDE? BARSAD THAT CARD'S A NASTY THREAT AND VERY HARD TO BEAT. I'D LIKE TO HELP YOU OUT, AND STILL REMAIN DISCREET. BUT I HAVE SUCH A SINKING SUSPICION YOU'RE THINKING OF BREAKING HIM OUT. MR. CARTON, I CAN'T DO A THING FOR YOUR FRIEND. I'M AFRAID THAT THE DEBT MUST BE PAID IN THE END. NO SUCH THING AS ESCAPE FROM THE FATE THAT HE'LL FACE. I'D AS SOON TAKE MY CHANCES AND STAY WITHIN FRANCE'S GOOD GRACE. SO PLAY YOUR ACE! CARTON I NEVER SUGGESTED WE WOULD TOY WITH NOTIONS OF ESCAPE. I NEVER SUGGESTED WE WOULD INTERFERE WITH DARNAY'S FATE... BARSAD THEN TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE SUGGESTING? CARTON A FAVOR'S ALL THAT I'M REQUESTING. ONE MEETING, ONE INTERVIEW. NO TRICKS, NO TRAPS... BARSAD NO DOUBLEDEAL? CARTON THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS MAKE HIM MISS HIS FINAL MEAL. BARSAD THEN TELL ME JUST WHAT YOU'RE AFTER? CARTON IF YOU'LL COME THROUGH FOR ME MY DREAMS COME TRUE FOR ME. BARSAD YOU'LL GET HIS BLESSING! HIS BEDDING! CARTON WE'LL ASK YOU TO THE WEDDING! BARSAD I KNEW IT ALL ALONG YOU'RE JUST THE SAME AS ME CARTON A LOW DOWN DIRTY SNAKE? BARSAD NO RESOURCEFUL! CARTON NOW I SEE… BOTH WE'RE TWO SOUL MATES FROM HELL DOING WELL FOR THE THING THAT WE SELL FILLS A NEED. AND WHO ELSE DID THE HEAVENS EXPECT TO SURVIVE: WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD BARELY STAYING ALIVE? SINCE DISHONESTY'S ALWAYS THE BEST HAND TO PLAY CARTON THEN I SWEAR NOT TO SQUEAL BARSAD AND YOU'LL SEE YOUR DARNAY BOTH YOU AND I HAVE A DEAL FOR WE BOTH KNOW THERE'S NO HONEST WAY.
