• (Abbe Faria) "Dating from Ancient Rome. Well, for twenty years I was librarian and tutor to the Duke de Spada. He had no children and made me his sole heir. I planned to use it to ease suffering humanity, but this so enraged the old Duke's enemies, who planned after his death to seize the fortune for themselves, that they submitted me first to torture and then threw me into prison in an effort to force from me the secret hiding place which I alone know. Together, we will dig our way to freedom and one half of the treasure shall be yours."
• (Robert Donat) "I'll dig my fingers to the bone. I'll tear these rocks apart. Money -- riches -- power with which to strangle and curse three rotten rats."
• (Abbe Faria) "Stop. Stop. Oh, what a miserable creature you are. Your eyes gleam with greed, your heart filled with revenge. In such a condition, you're not fit to have one sou. Patience. What a long road you have to travel. Be thankful your digging tools are but bits of crockery and iron. It will take time -- pray for it to be a long time so that when you emerge into the light, it will not be as a revengeful Horseman of the Apocalypse but as an avenging angel doing the work of God."
