Michael 'Beau' Geste: I'll be frank with you, gentlemen. I've got it. I intend to sell it for 30,000 pounds sometime in the future, and live a life of ease in Paris surrounded by whiskey, ladies, and laughter.

Digby Geste: Well that's funny. I'm going to sell it and go to Paris, too. Only I don't' want any laughter.

Michael 'Beau' Geste: Let's put him to death and keep his share.
