-He can't. He hasn't got it.
-Give me time.

1:13:02
Where's the letter?
1:13:05
I have it in my pocket.
1:13:10
It would break his heart.
1:13:12
What shall I do?
1:13:14
I wish to heaven I knew.
1:13:16
If only there were some other way.
1:13:18
Tell him and have done with it.
1:13:20
Now, this is really a handsome estate.
1:13:23
We'll be practically stealing it
for 30,000.

1:13:26
You'll be keen on the house. Shade trees.
No comparison with our old bungalow.

1:13:30
I don't want to throw
cold water on your plans...

1:13:33
...but aren't you forgetting
certain financial obligations?

1:13:36
I mean, hasn't it struck you
that the costs...

1:13:39
...of what we've just been through
will be pretty heavy?

1:13:42
Oh, you mean the legal expenses, yes.
1:13:44
I'm not charging you for my services.
Those will be charged off to friendship.

1:13:48
But there are other expenses--
1:13:50
That's very decent of you.
I'm not sure I can accept that.

1:13:53
What do these other expenses amount to?
1:13:56
Well, the principal item is that letter
of Leslie's I mentioned to you.

1:14:01
Yes. I'd almost forgotten about that.
1:14:03
-You were going to...?
-I had to pay a great deal of money for it.

1:14:08
Well, if you thought it necessary,
I'm not going to grouse.

1:14:12
How much was it?
1:14:15
Ten thousand dollars.
1:14:20
Ten thousand dollars?
You must have been mad.

1:14:22
You may be sure I wouldn't have given
that if I could have got it for less.

1:14:26
But that's every cent
I have in the world.

1:14:31
Why didn't you let them bring the letter in
and explain it to the jury?

1:14:36
I didn't dare.
1:14:39
Do you mean it was absolutely necessary
to suppress it?

1:14:44
If you wanted Leslie acquitted.
1:14:48
But what was there in the letter?
1:14:50
-I told you at the time.
-It was very stupid of me, I--

1:14:53
I remember. You asked him to come
to the bungalow--

1:14:56
-Yes.
-You wanted to get me something.

1:14:57
I wanted to get you a new gun.
He knew all about them.
