The man you want.
GILBERT.
Do you know who I am?
SIMON RENARD.
You are the man I need.
GILBERT.

SIMON RENARD.
You shall be revenged on Lord Clanbrassil and you shall die.
GILBERT.
Who ever you may be, I thank you.
SIMON RENARD.

GILBERT.
Yes.
SIMON RENARD.
Follow me!
GILBERT.
Where?
SIMON RENARD.

GILBERT.
Remember that you have promised to avenge me!
SIMON RENARD.
Remember that you have promised to die.
