Emperor Maximillian:  You see , there 's the Countess who 'll occupy the coach . She 's decided that she must see Paris again , and we ... indulge her every whim . The Marquis 's gravely concerned that she reach the ship in Vera Cruz safely .
Benjamin Trane: She will if the price is right .
Emperor Maximillian: I suppose when one deals with men of action , one just expect action . Does 25,000 in gold sound reasonable ?
Benjamin Trane: A pretty figure but only half as pretty as the figure we 're escorting to Vera Cruz .
Emperor Maximillian: I gather that double would increase your sense of responsibility .
Benjamin Trane: It would double it .
Emperor Maximillian: _ 50,000 _ it is then !
