Mercedes:
[she has found Monte Cristo practicing shooting]
You would not kill my son!
Edmond Dantes:
[turning to face her]
He challenged me, madam.
Mercedes:
And what would you expet from a proud son? The general is his father!
Edmond Dantes:
I had a father once.
Mercedes:
Then you know how the boy feels. You can understand how zealous he is after the general's good name!
Edmond Dantes:
What general? My business is with a lieutenant I used to know.
Mercedes:
What business?
Edmond Dantes:
Revenge, madam.
Mercedes:
[pause, then]
For what? For marrying the girl you loved? He does not deserve your vengeance. It was I! I was weak, I could bear my loneliness no longer. I married him because they told me you died in the Chateau d'If shortly after your arrest.
Edmond Dantes:
But what was I in the Chateau d'If? Why was I arrested?
Mercedes:
I do not know!
