Dominique - un ménestrel
- Dominique - un ménestrel: Men have loved me, as they like to whisper in my ear. I let them. Is it my fault if they wept, gave everything for me, even their lives? The young men were passionate; the old men crawled at my feet.
- Gilles - un ménestrel: When did I ever cry or throw myself at your feet?
- Dominique - un ménestrel: [snorts] You're different - greedy, stubborn, proud. You just want to be loved, to take without giving, to keep it all and leave.
- Gilles - un ménestrel: Like you!
- Dominique - un ménestrel: You hunted me like a cat hunts a mouse - but we're both cats, there is no mouse. It's not our fault. We both thought we'd caught a tender new victim... two executioners, face to face and no one to torture. How sad.
- [discussing Renaud's upcoming duel with Baron Huges]
- Dominique - un ménestrel: Don't add to my pain. I'm already so afraid... .for your life.
- Le baron Renaud - le fiancé d'Anne: Have no fear. My life's in no danger.
- [holds up a suit of chain mail armor]
- Dominique - un ménestrel: Look how fine the links are.in this Italian chain mail! Here, we can't make them this pretty or strong. With this and a bit of luck even the worst blows can not harm me.
- Dominique - un ménestrel: A fine proof of love, if you're in no danger!
- Le baron Renaud - le fiancé d'Anne: Don't you see? It's only to reassure you. I'd fight bare-chested if you wished it. I fear no man - nor the Devil, nor death.
- Dominique - un ménestrel: "Nor the Devil, nor death." You please me well, Renaud. So confident, so dangerous. Tomorrow, where this under your doublet as you fight to keep me.
- [Dominique indicates her cotton shirt]
- Le diable: [to Dominique] You look astonishingly like one of my daughters.
- Dominique - un ménestrel: I'm flattered.
- Le baron Hugues - le châtelain, père d'Anne: You have daughters?
- Le diable: Yes. I have many children, boys and girls, but I must admit, I prefer girls, especially ones like yours. Boys are ungrateful - no sense of duty, disobedient. I'm not a hard man, but I detest being disobeyed.
- Le baron Renaud - le fiancé d'Anne: Now you're near me. That's what matters. I must be dreaming! Where did you come from? Who are you?
- Dominique - un ménestrel: Who am I? You just said it. A woman who's near you, in your arms.
- Gilles - un ménestrel: If you'd truly loved me, I might have loved you.
- Dominique - un ménestrel: If you'd truly loved me, I, too, might have loved you.
- Gilles - un ménestrel: Dominque!
- Dominique - un ménestrel: Go on. Scare me. Hit me. Kill me. Slit my throat. My handsome love.
- Le baron Renaud - le fiancé d'Anne: What do I desire? Why ask such a question? What do I desire? I desire you, totally, completely, and you know it!
- Dominique - un ménestrel: You're so blunt.
- Le baron Renaud - le fiancé d'Anne: Sorry to offend. Perhaps it's no way to woo women, but I speak my mind.
- Dominique - un ménestrel: I said you were blunt, not that I didn't like it.
- Gilles - un ménestrel: Why stir up long-dead things?
- Dominique - un ménestrel: Who killed them? Did I? Did you? Or both? Who nipped in the bud our story of love?
- Dominique - un ménestrel: I admire how you speak of death so lightly!
- Le baron Renaud - le fiancé d'Anne: I'm not talking of my own death. Since I met you, I'm filled with a ferocious lust for life. A life with you.
- Dominique - un ménestrel: With me, close to me. In my arms, forever.
- Dominique - un ménestrel: Why bother, Gilles?
- Gilles - un ménestrel: I enjoy dong good sometimes.
- Dominique - un ménestrel: Why bother?
- Le baron Hugues - le châtelain, père d'Anne: When I speak, people listen and remain silent! Dominique, I want - do you hear me? I want you to take off these men's clothes.
- Dominique - un ménestrel: Right now?
- Le baron Hugues - le châtelain, père d'Anne: What are you saying?
- Dominique - un ménestrel: Nothing. You speak, I remain silent.
