Sophie : It’s on the wrong side.
Robert : Leigh likes all things to be English,
including his cars.
Leigh : Robert! Do I owe you money?
Robert : Leigh, my friend, care…care to open up for
an old colleague?
Leigh : Of course.
Robert : Thank you.
Leigh : But first, a test of honor. Three questions.
Robert : Fire away.
Leigh : Your first: Shall I serve coffee or tea?
Robert : Tea, of course.
Leigh : Excellent. Second: Milk or lemon?
Sophie : Milk?
Robert : That would depend on the tea.
Leigh : Correct. And now the third and most grave of
inquiries. In which year did a Harvard sculler
outrow an Oxford man at Henley?
Robert : Surely such a travesty has never occurred.
Leigh : Your heart is true. You may pass. Welcome to
Chateau Villette.
Robert : Leigh Teabing has spent his entire life
studying the Grail. That thing is one hot tamale.
Sophie : Sorry?
Robert : The cryptex, it’s a hot coal. A
hot potato?
Sophie : Ah. So you want to keep our chest close to our
cards, yes?
Robert : Very close.
Remy : You are requested to make yourself at home.
Leigh : Robert! And you travel with a maiden, it
seems.
Robert : Sir Leigh Teabing, may I present Miss Sophie
Neveu. Sophie, Sir Leigh Teabing.
Leigh : (French) It’s an honor to welcome you even
though it's late.
Sophie : Thank you for having us. I realize it's
quite late.
Leigh : So late, mademoiselle, it's almost early.
What a lovely smile you have. Earl grey?
Robert : Lemon.
Leigh : Correct.
Silas : Yes? Chateau Villette. Yes.
Sophie : No.
Leigh : Oh, you must. Remy is from Lyons, but
nevertheless he is fantastic with sauces.
Sophie : No, I can’t.
Leigh : A dramatic late-night arrival. Mention of
life and death. What can an old cripple do for you,
Robert?
Robert : We wanna talk about the Priory of Sion.
Leigh : The keepers? The secret war?
Robert : Sorry for all the mystery. Leigh, I, I,
I’m into
something here that I cannot understand.
Leigh : You? Really?
Robert : Not without your help.
Leigh : Playing to my vanity, Robert. You should be
ashamed.
Robert : Not if it works.
Leigh : There are always four: The Grand Master and
the three senechaux make up the primary guardians of
the grail. |
