Alan Breck:
Open up! Open up, I say, or I'll knock here all night! Open up! Ebenezer Balfour:
[wielding a gun out an upper window]
Who are you? What do you want? Alan Breck:
Ah, Mr. Balfour, is it? Ebenezer Balfour:
Aye, aye. State your business and be on your way. Alan Breck:
I can state that in one word: David! Ebenezer Balfour:
David? What's he to you? Alan Breck:
Eh, some friends of mine found him on a beach, half drowned, in Mull. And they've been through great expense to keep him. So, if you want to see him back, you'll have to pay. Ebenezer Balfour:
The lad's nothing to me. I'll pay nothing to get him back. Alan Breck:
Ah, that's what I thought. So you want him killed then. Well, my friends will do that too, provided the price is right. Ebenezer Balfour:
I don't want him killed! Who says I want him killed? Alan Breck:
Why? Hoseason said that's what you'd want. Since he couldn't fulfill his part of the bargain and drown the lad in the sea Lower your voice, man. Ebenezer Balfour:
Lower your voice! Did Hoseason say that? He lied! Why, I paid him 20 guineas to sell the lad in the Carolinas, nothing more. Why would I want him killed? He's my born nephew! I paid to have him kidnapped, that's all. David Balfour:
[stepping into view]
Thank you, uncle! My friends here will testify in court to what you've just said
