Élise de la Serre
- Élise de la Serre: Are you sure about this?
- Arno Victor Dorian: Not particularly, no. But the Marquis is on the National Convention with le Peletier. He might have some insight.
- [they approach de Sade, who looks up from his writing]
- Marquis de Sade: Ah. Which is a more incisive commentary on corruption in the bishopric: seven nuns seducing a parish priest into debauchery, or an enormously endowed Benedictine sodomizing a goat named Pius?
- Arno Victor Dorian: No force in heaven or on earth will make me answer that question.
- Marquis de Sade: Quite right, Arno, the goat it is. So, what can I do for you... and your charming companion?
- [bows obsequiously to Élise]
- Élise de la Serre: [tersely] Louis-Michel le Peletier. What can you tell us about him?
- Marquis de Sade: Ah, dear Louis. He went from abolishing the death penalty to calling for the king's head in two short years.
- Arno Victor Dorian: Where can we find him?
- Marquis de Sade: I'm afraid I don't often socialize with my fellow deputies. Something about my distaste for the beheading of the innocent.
- [leers at Élise]
- Marquis de Sade: Speaking of innocents...
- Arno Victor Dorian: De Sade.
- Marquis de Sade: Mhm?
- Arno Victor Dorian: Le Peletier?
- Marquis de Sade: Well, I believe he often takes meals at a certain café near le Palais Royale. I believe you can find him there.
- Arno Victor Dorian: If we don't, I'll be back.
- Marquis de Sade: [leers at Élise again] Really? Well, then I hope I'm mistaken.
- Élise de la Serre: No, you don't.
