PHILOKTETES
Stop. Your words will be wasted on me.
NEOPTOLEMOS
Are you resolved?
PHILOKTETES
More resolved than words can say.
NEOPTOLEMOS
I wish that I could make you change your mind.
But if my words are pointless, then I am finished.
PHILOKTETES
Your words are useless. You will never win me with words to your friendship. You have destroyed me with deceitful talk, and then you come to make speeches, bastard son of a noble father. A curse on you, on the Atreids and Odysseus, but especially on you.
