Edmond Dantes:
We've had a devil of a time finding you.
Andrea Benedetto:
People usually do.
Edmond Dantes:
Six years ago, you were sentenced to the galleys. The charge was smuggling. Escaped from the galleys. Caught. Sentenced to life in the galleys. You escaped again.
Andrea Benedetto:
Read on. I find myself fascinating.
Edmond Dantes:
You've been a thief, smuggler, embezzler, possibly an assassin, during the course of which you've learned to speak fluent Italian.
Andrea Benedetto:
Perfecto, signor.
Edmond Dantes:
From now on, you are Andrea, the Count of Cavalcanti.
Andrea Benedetto:
Am I?
Edmond Dantes:
You are the son of Major Bartolomeo de Cavalcanti. A descendant of the Cavalcanti whose names are inscribed in the golden book of Florence. You are very rich.
Andrea Benedetto:
Good. I spend a lot of money, of course.
Edmond Dantes:
Of course. You will take apartments which I have selected for you on the Faubourg. You will have three servants. You will purchase a carriage. Go to Batiste for it. The horse is from Evreux. You will pay court to a beautiful young girl. I wish you to do it expensively. For the next few weeks, when you are not with her, you will be seen everywhere with me.
Andrea Benedetto:
Ah, the count accompanies the count.
Edmond Dantes:
Precisely. Now, what is your name?
