201 I do not think it means what you think it means. 202 My God! He's climbing. 203 Whoever he is, he's obviously seen us with the princess, 204 and must therefore die. You, carry her. 205 We'll head straight for the Guilder frontier. 206 Catch up when he's dead. 207 If he falls - fine. If not - the sword. 208 I'm going to duel him left-handed. 209 You know what a hurry we're in! 210 It's the only way I can be satisfied. 211 If I use my right, it'll be over too quickly. 212 Oh, have it your way. 213 You be careful. People in masks cannot be trusted. 214 I'm waiting! 215 Hello there. 216 Slow going? 217 Look, I don't mean to be rude, but this is not as easy as it looks, 218 So I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't distract me. 219 - Sorry. - Thank you. 220 I do not suppose you could speed things up? 221 If you're in such a hurry, you could lower a rope, or a tree branch, 222 or find something useful to do. 223 I could do that. 224 In fact, I've got some rope up here. 225 But I do not think that you will accept my help, 226 since I am only waiting around to kill you. 227 That does put a damper on our relationship. 228 But I promise I will not kill you until you reach the top. 229 That's very comforting. But I'm afraid you'll just have to wait. 230 I hate waiting. 231 I could give you my word as a Spaniard. 232 No good. I've known too many Spaniards. 233 You don't know any way you'll trust me? 234 Nothing comes to mind. 235 I swear on the soul of my father, Domingo Montoya, 236 - you will reach the top alive. - Throw me the rope. 237 Thank you. 238 - We'll wait until you're ready. - Again. Thank you. 239 I do not mean to pry, but you don't by any chance 240 happen to have six fingers on your right hand? 241 Do you always begin conversations this way? 242 My father was slaughtered by a six- fingered man. 243 He was a great swordmaker, my father. 244 And when the six-fingered man appeared and requested a special sword, 245 my father took the job. 246 He slaved a year before he was done. 247 I have never seen its equal. 248 The six-fingered man returned and demanded it, 249 but at one-tenth his promised price. 250 My father refused. Without a word, the six-fingered man slashed him through the heart. |
