[Tommy More]

"The Code Duello! Stretching back to the Roman empire!"

[Sara Stanton]

"Well I'm calling your choice of weapons inappropriate to common sense."

[Tommy More]

"The pistols were the standard form of dueling, as they are a more humane and easier to regulate form of dueling to swordfighting," he explained.

[Sara Stanton]

"A hundred years ago maybe."

[Tommy More]

"About three hundred years ago, actually."

[Sara Stanton]

"That just makes it more antiquated."

[Tommy More]

"I'm the one who told you there hasn't been a duel for hundreds of years, yet you're the one who pushed for it.

The decision is clearly out of our hands now. Who is your second?"

[Sara Stanton]

"My second what?"

[Tommy More]

"Your second. Your man at arms...I'm sorry, person at arms. A trusted representative, to ensure the duel is fair."

[Sara Stanton]

"I have to drag someone else into this now as well?"

[Tommy More]

"The traditional number is three and a doctor, though that is open to the personal preference of the duelers."

[Sara Stanton]

"Fine, I'll pick Will then but I can't guarantee for what he'll do when someone points a pistol at me."

[Tommy More]

"That's another reason for the seconds."

[Sara Stanton]

"Explain."

[Tommy More]

"To ensure a fair, one on one contest. To prevent interference."

[Sara Stanton]

"Right. Well don't say I didn't warn you cause he's not gonna like this."

[Tommy More]

"Then you can explain to him why you felt it necessary to issue a formal challenge," he said, simply. "I believe we are done here."
