How long have you been married to the Count?
Long enough.
Oh, "long enou..." I like that. Discretion and charm. So civilized. So terribly unhelpful.
Discretion and charm. Hm. I couldn't live without it, especially in matters concerning the Count.
There is such a thing as discretion. There's also such a thing as willful blindness.
Blind? I help him to steal the Mona Lisa, the greatest crime in the century, and you call me blind?
Yes! You see the Count as a master criminal, an art dealer, an insanely wealthy man. And you'd like to see yourself as his consort. But what's he doing in the cellar?
[bitterly] ...Tinkering. Every man must have his hobby.
Man? Are you sure of that? A man with one eye, and green skin, eh? Ransacking the art treasures of history to help him make a machine to reunite him with his people, the Jaggeroth?
[The Countess giggles, finding the suggestion absurd.]
And you didn't notice anything. How discreet. How charming.
