Dungeon of Harrow

(Aaron awakens from his swoon to see his ship's captain lying on the floor covered with blood) Aaron Fallon: Captain? Cassandra: The captain is quite all right. He's been given a potion... the pain was most severe. Aaron Fallon: You what? Cassandra: You're quite safe now. You're in the castle of Count Lorente De Sade.
Cassandra: If your strength will permit, the Count requests your presence at the evening meal. Aaron Fallon: I am grateful, but the captain is lying for a very cold floor. In his condition, pneumonia could surely occur. You must have accommodations... Cassandra: I said your friend will recover, sir. The count has seen fit to offer lodging and refuge. I'm not in a position to question the extent of his hospitality. If you desire to put the captain in your bed, by all means do so. I was sent to announce the count has elected to share his evening fare with you - an obligation I have now discharged. If you wish to show your lack of gratitude by refusing, then I'll relay your indiscretion. Aaron Fallon: I most certainly want to meet the count.
(first lines) Aaron Fallon: How many times have I stood before this symbol of my family's greatness? And now this crest and I are dying together. In another time and another place, I might have brought honor and glory to the Fallon family, but instead I shall leave a legacy of decay and unspeakable horror.
Aaron Fallon: You're quite certain I'm a bit of an ass, aren't you, Captain? The Captain: I don't believe there's a yes or no answer to that, Mr Fallon.
