The Cardinal:
They want me to take my own life, so they can say I committed the last cowardice of all. I shan't do that, you know.
The Interrogator:

The Cardinal:

The Cardinal:
No. But I must.
The Interrogator:
So the laugh is on me. You go out of my hands a stronger man than when you came to me.
