Too much is not enough
[Monte Cristo, spoken]
Time to set the wheels of Justice in motion
[Jacopo, spoken]
Why not forget them and leave the life that’s left you? A life full of joy and wealth and the choices wealth can buy?
[Monte Cristo, spoken]
Justice I want, and Justice I shall have. I will give them more justice than they can stand
[Jacopo, spoken]
But the woman. What of the woman? She obviously still has feelings for you? She’s beautiful and kindness and goodness flow through her heart like water through a river?
[Monte Cristo]
Tell them you’re dissatisfied with how you have been treatеd
Tell them your allegiancеs can change… but for a price
They believe the worst in them in all man are repeated
Avarice will be the cheese to trap these three blind mice
[Jacopo, spoken]
Is the name of the company still Lerrom International?
[Monte Cristo, spoken]
But of course. It appears to my sense of irony. Lerrom International – Navigational Instruments for a New World of Shipping!
[Monte Cristo]
First of all tell Danglars when the market opens Monday
Buy up all of Lerrom’s stock, sell ev’rything he owns
Lerrom International will triple in just one day
This bold move will make him richer than he’s e’ver known
[Danglars]
I’ll float a short term loan and liquidate my assets
I’ll lev’rage ev’ry thing that I own ‘til it’s Rothchilds and coronets
All risk has been removed unknown to Monte Cristo
How fortunes are reversed and improved in the wag of a servant’s tongue
[Monte Cristo]
Danglars believes in one thing at a time and whatever it is he wants more
[Danglars]
Too much is not enough
There always is room for another
Seize the day, I always say
Too much simply isn’t enough
[Monte Cristo]
Villefort lives so many lies, the truth is like a stranger
What is one more compromise if bank accounts will fill?
Swear that his good reputation will not be in danger
Say he needs but close his eyes for riches and he will
[Villefort]
It’s really not a crime
I’ll never be suspected
We’ll live as we do now for a time until the coast is clear
No one is really hurt
I’ll still get reelected
As long as I am never overt, then there’s really not much to fear
[Monte Cristo]
Villefort believes that he’s good and he’s just only helping the ones that he loves
[Villefort]
Too much is not enough
To sully my name with a scandal
Where’s the flaw above the law?
Too much simply isn’t enough
[Monte Cristo]
Just to make sure Mondego rises to the bait
Give him this to help him with his debt
Make him think Lerrom will change his fortune and his fate
Yes, tell him that then tip your hat and leave and say goodbye
[Mondego]
Farewell
Too much is not enough
Of wine or women and money
An appetite for one more bite
Too much never seems like enough
[Danglars, Villefort, Mondego]
Too much is not enough
There always is room for another
[Danglars]
Seize the day, I always say
[Villefort]
Where’s the flaw above the law
[Mondego]
An appetite for one more bite
[Danglars, Villefort, Mondego]
Too much simply isn’t enough
