Final words
- Laurens: Why hang over me like a leering crow? To see an old man suffer?
- Edward: You've caused no small portion of suffering yourself, Mr. Prins, retribution, I suppose.
- Laurens: You absurd cutthroats and your precious philosophy, you live in the world, but you cannot make it move.
- Edward: You mistake my motive, old man, I'm only after a bit of coin...
- Laurens: As was I, lad. As was I.
