Quote context

- The story, sir. In detail.

- Spare yourself at least this, Nicholas.

- How can I spare myself? Was he not my father? Am I not the spawn of his... his depraved blood?

- His depravity is not yours, Nicholas. Why scourge yourself because of it?

- You have not answered me, Don Medina.

- I shall not dwell upon the history of this... this blasphemous chamber.

- Suffice it that the blood of a thousand men and women was spilled within these walls.

- Limbs twisted and broken!
