Lucien LaCroix: [after Nick finds him with a stake in his chest] Be so good as to relieve me of this will you?
Det. Nick Knight: Only if you tell me how it got there.
Lucien LaCroix: An instant of improvidence. A soldier's last lucky blow in battle. I was about to dispense a merciful end to his suffering when he managed to inflict this inconvenience on me.
Det. Nick Knight: Such ingratitude.
Lucien LaCroix: Yes. It is increasingly unpleasant, and more than a little annoying. The soldier has been dispatched to hell as I will be shortly if you don't help me.
Det. Nick Knight: It's an interesting dilemma.
