- David Balfour: You leave me no candle?
- Ebenezer Balfour: Has nobody ever told you that candles cost money?

- David Balfour: That they're planning to kill you.
- [pause]
- David Balfour: But it's true, sir! They're all murderers here. They've murdered a boy already, and now it's to be you.
- Ebenezer Balfour: Are ye alive? Oh man! Are ye alive?
- David Balfour: That I am... and small thanks to you.
- Ebenezer Balfour: [Falls on table] Wee bottle, on the mantle, please!
