O.P. Heggie Quotes:

Abbe Faria: [he is dying] When people die, we feel a grief because their minds are lost to us. How fortunate am I... I leave my mind behind in your possession; it is part of yours. Use it as an instrument for justice. My blessing... Edmond, if you could only see. Death is so beautiful
[he dies]


Abbe Faria: Everyone has heard of the de Spada family fortune.
Edmond Dantes: I have, since boyhood. A buried treasure, wasn't it?
Abbe Faria: Dating from Ancient Rome. Well, for twenty years I was librarian and tutor to the Duke de Spada. He had no children and made me his sole heir. I planned to use it to ease suffering humanity, but this so enraged the old Duke's enemies, who planned after his death to seize the fortune for themselves, that they submitted me first to torture and then threw me into prison in an effort to force from me the secret hiding place which I alone know. Together, we will dig our way to freedom and one half of the treasure shall be yours.
Edmond Dantes: [viciously] I'll dig my fingers to the bone! I'll tear these rocks apart! Money... riches... power with which to strangle and curse three rotten rats!
Abbe Faria: Stop! Stop! Oh, what a miserable creature you are! Your eyes gleam with greed, your heart filled with revenge! In such a condition, you're not fit to have one sou! Patience. What a long road you have to travel. Be thankful your digging tools are but bits of crockery and iron. It will take time... pray for it to be a long time so that when you emerge into the light, it will not be as a revengeful Horseman of the Apocalypse but as an avenging angel doing the work of God.

O.P. Heggie Facts
Heggie's was the performance parodied by Gene Hackman in Mel Brooks's 'Young Frankenstein' (1974).

Immigrated to the United States in 1901.

In 1916 Heggie appeared on Broadway in a drama called Justice, which marked a turning point in the career of the leading man, 34 year-old John Barrymore. In the final scene of the play, Barrymore lies dead on the stage while Heggie speaks a eulogy over him. After the play had been running a while, the supposedly dead Barrymore would attempt to make Heggie laugh during his speech by mumbling obscenities, pretending to kill cockroaches, or stifling sneezes. Finally Heggie walked out, forcing an understudy to take his part for three performances. After Barrymore promised to behave himself and gave him a bottle of champagne as a peace offering, Heggie returned to the play.
