1:28:00
She was so lovely,
1:28:02
so accomplished, so amusing.
1:28:05
''She's got the three things that really
matter in a wife,'' everyone said.
1:28:09
'' Breeding, brains and beauty.''
1:28:12
And I believed them, completely.
1:28:16
But I never had
a moment's happiness with her.
1:28:19
She was incapable of love...
1:28:22
or tenderness or decency.
1:28:27
You didn't love her ?
You didn't love her ?
1:28:30
Do you remember that cliff
where you fiirst saw me in Monte Carlo ?
1:28:34
Well, I went there with Rebecca
on our honeymoon.
1:28:37
That was where
I found out about her.
1:28:40
Four days
after we were married.
1:28:43
She stood there laughing,
1:28:46
her black hair
blowing in the wind,
1:28:48
and told me all about herself.
1:28:51
Everything.
1:28:55
Things I'll never tell a living soul.
1:28:58
I wanted to kill her.
1:29:00
It would have been so easy.
Remember the precipice ?
1:29:05
I frightened you, didn't I ?
You thought I was mad.
1:29:09
Perhaps I was.
Perhaps I am mad.
1:29:14
It wouldn't make for sanity, would it,
living with the devil ?
1:29:20
''I'll make a bargain with you,''
she said.
1:29:22
''You'd look rather foolish
trying to divorce me now
after four days of marriage,
1:29:26
''so I'll play the part
of a devoted wife, mistress
of your precious Manderley.
1:29:30
''I'll make it the most famous
showplace in England, if you like,
1:29:33
''and people will visit us
and envy us...
1:29:35
''and say we're the luckiest,
happiest couple in the country.
1:29:39
What a grand joke it will be !
What a triumph !''
1:29:47
I should never have accepted
her dirty bargain, but I did.
1:29:52
I was younger then and tremendously
conscious of the family honor.
1:29:56

Family honor.
