Quotes:

Edmond Dantes: [to Mondego after defeating him in a duel] It was not my sword, Mondego, but your past that disarmed you!

Danglars: I'm tried of playing second fiddle to Rothschild, Laurenti and Monte Cristo! From now on when we meet, I want THEM to take their hats off first!

[last lines]::Albert de Mondego: [to Dantes and Mercedes who are up in the branches of a tree] Can we come up?::Edmond Dantes: Find your own tree.

Edmond Dantes: [referring to the now-insane Danglars] A mental suicide, doctor.::Doctor: Mental suicide?::Edmond Dantes: Yes. He destroyed his mind with an overdose of two deadly poisons.::Doctor: Poisons!::Edmond Dantes: Avarice and Greed

Edmond Dantes: [to Mondego upon realizing that he has been betrayed] Oh, I see! Danglas told you about Elba and the letter because he wanted to be captain! And you told the magistrate because... because of Mercedes! You appeared here as my friends!

Danglars: [after Dantes has been taken away to the Chateau d'If] Will you want me anymore, sir?::Raymond de Villefort Jr.: No.::Danglars: Not for the trial?::Raymond de Villefort Jr.: He's had his trial.

Fernand de Mondego: My son, you are now a viscount.::Albert, Age 8: But I don't want to be a viscount. I want to be a sailor.::Fernand de Mondego: You'll be a viscount on your father's side.

Abbe Faria: [he is dying] When people die, we feel a grief because their minds are lost to us. How fortunate am I... I leave my mind behind in your possession; it is part of yours. Use it as an instrument for justice. My blessing... Edmond, if you could only see. Death is so beautiful [he dies]

Edmond Dantes: [after finding the treasure] My dear abbe... if you were only really here beside me to see. You were right. The world is mine.

Edmond Dantes: [Mercedes has just shown him the false death certificate] I thought there must be something like this somewhere.::Mercedes de Rosas: I've had it ever since... for many years.::Edmond Dantes: Well, it speaks the truth. Edmond Dantes is dead.::Mercedes de Rosas: Then who is this Count de Monte Cristo who closely resembles him?::Edmond Dantes: The resemblance has been noted by no one but you. He is, in fact, to answer your question, a person so utterly unlike a man named Dantes they might have been born of different parents. Even the soul is not the same.::Mercedes de Rosas: I can believe that.
