• Doctor Leon : [after Nicholas has fallen down the stairs and appears to have died]  I told you to wait.

  Elizabeth : I couldn't.

  [she and Dr. Leon kiss] 

  Elizabeth : What about my brother?

  Doctor Leon : He's supposed to leave in the morning , but now... why couldn't you wait one more day?

  Elizabeth : I've waited too long already.

  Elizabeth : [goes down to where Nicholas is laying]  And now, my dear Nicholas, I have you exactly as I want you - helpless.

  Doctor Leon : Elizabeth, there is no time for this.

  Elizabeth : I've waited an eternity for this moment. There has to be time. Is it not ironical, my dear husband, your wife an adultress, your mother an adultress, your uncle an adulterer, your closest friend an adulterer - do you not find that amusing, dear Nicholas?

  Doctor Leon : Elizabeth.

• Elizabeth : [shouting Don Medina's name causing him to fall down the stairs]  Nicholas!
