The Cask of Amontillado
Storyboard Text
- I have bought a full cask of a fine wine which they tell me is Amontillado
- Fortunato! How are you
- Good evening, my friend
- Impossible! Lets go to you vaults to try some
- Here, Fortunato. Drink some of this fine Medoc. It will help to keep us warm. Drink!
- “It is farther on. Come.
- Fortunato grabbed my arm and we ran to my my palace vaults. I told him to be careful as we walked down the stairs
- Ahh! A very fine wine, indeed! But the Amontillado?
- Fortunato took it and drank it all without stopping for a breath. He laughed, and threw the empty bottle over his shoulder
- Let us go on. But first, another drink of your Medoc!
- Your vaults are many, and large. There seems to be no end to them
- Go in; the Amontillado is in there.
- We went on, deeper and deeper into the earth. Finally we arrived at a vault
- He stood there a moment, facing the wall, surprised and wondering
- Fortunato continued to go forward, uncertainly
- Put your hand against the wall. You must feel how the water runs over it
- I began to search among the bones. Throwing them to one side.I began to build the wall again, covering the hole where Fortunato stood trembling
- Montresor! What are you doing!?
- “But…But the Amontillado
- “But is it not late? Should we not be going back? They will be expecting us. Let us go.
- As I said this I lifted the last stone from the ground. I heard only a soft, low sound, a half-cry of fear
- Of course. As we drink the Amontillado.
- And I put the old bones again in a pile against the wall. For half a century now no human hand has touched them. May he rest in peace
- Montresor! Ha-ha. This is a very good joke, indeed
- Yes. Let us go
