[last lines]
Nicholas Muss : Admiral!
Admiral Gaspard de Coligny : You're working late.
Nicholas Muss : I thought you were asleep.
Admiral Gaspard de Coligny : Nonsense. I've been with the King.
Nicholas Muss : Do you wish to give me some notes?
Admiral Gaspard de Coligny : No, not tonight. I think I've persuaded him.
Nicholas Muss : You've got the King to agree to war with Spain?
Admiral Gaspard de Coligny : It's possible. If he doesn't change his mind by the morning, we are to join with the Dutch. Do you know, Nicholas, after I'd explained the situation to him, he turned to me and he said if we do ally ourselves with the Dutch, you, De Coligny, will go down to history as the 'Sea Beggar'. The Sea Beggar. It's a title I'd be proud of.
