Concerns About His Mental State
Madame Lucien
Did you see him, Daniel?

Daniel
Yes, Ma'am.
Madame Lucien
How is he?
Daniel
Not good, Madame. He'll be a crazy man before long unless he gets out of there.
Madame Lucien
If there only was some way I could help him!
Daniel
There is a way, Madame... money, for the bell.
[He looks around to be sure no one is listening]
Madame Lucien
The bell?
Daniel
That's the word we convicts have for freedom.
Madame Lucien
Could he... could he buy his way to freedom?
Daniel
Money will buy anything on this island, Madame. It'll buy a man's way to the coast and a boat too with which he might reach the mainland.
Madame Lucien
How could we get the money to him?
Daniel
With more money, Madame. The guards at the pits are changed every day, but all of them can be bribed. It'll take a little time, that's all.
