• The Baron : As a very wise English gentleman once said, "He who fights and runs away may live to fight another day." So, until another day, Mr. Leslie. Please excuse me, I have a boat waiting.

  [leaps through a window and dives... and crashes into his boat] 

• Baron von Stuppe : Well, Mr. Leslie. I had expected to see you again, but, ah, not with a sword in your hand. Are you partial to the foil?

  Leslie : Not particularly. It happened to be convenient.

  Baron von Stuppe : I presume you know how to use one.

  Leslie : I hope that won't be necessary.

  Baron von Stuppe : I'm sure you do.

  Leslie : Will you release Ms. Dubois and the others?

  Baron von Stuppe : No...

  Leslie : I'm afraid this will be necessary.

  Baron von Stuppe : You're being very foolish, Mr. Leslie.

  Leslie : That's an assumption, Baron. You make me the victim even before we start!

  Baron von Stuppe : [shrugs]  It's your life...

  Leslie : [gestures with sword]  You're assuming again.

• Baron von Stuppe : My compliments, Mr. Leslie. You handle the foil very well.

  Leslie : Thank you, Baron. So do you.

  Baron von Stuppe : Personally, I prefer a man's weapon. How are you with a saber?

  Leslie : There's only one way to find out.
