Concerns About His Mental State
Madame Lucien: [Referring to Gaudet]
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: [He looks around to be sure no one is listening]
There is a way, Madame... money, for the bell.
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.
