:49:01
I can remember absolutely everything,
young man.

:49:04
That's my curse.
:49:05
That's one of the greatest curses
ever inflicted on the human race: memory.

:49:10
I was his oldest friend, and as far as
I was concerned, he behaved like a swine.

:49:16
Not that Charlie was ever brutal.
He just did brutal things.

:49:20
Maybe I wasn't his friend,
but if I wasn't, he never had one.

:49:25
Maybe I was what you nowadays
call a stooge.

:49:29
You were about to say something
about Rosebud.

:49:31
Do you happen to have a good cigar?
:49:33
I've got a young physician here
who thinks I'm going to give up smoking.

:49:37
No, I'm afraid I haven't. Sorry.
:49:40
I changed the subject, didn't l?
:49:42
What a disagreeable old man
I have become.

:49:45
You're a reporter and you want to know
what I think about Charlie Kane.

:49:53
I suppose he had some private sort
of greatness.

:49:56
But he kept it to himself.
:49:58
He never gave himself away.
He never gave anything away.

:50:01
He just left you a tip.
:50:05
He had a generous mind.
:50:07
I don't suppose anybody
ever had so many opinions.

:50:10
But he never believed in anything
except Charlie Kane.

:50:13
He never had a conviction
except Charlie Kane in his life.

:50:17
I suppose he died without one.
:50:19
That must have been pretty unpleasant.
:50:22
Of course, a lot of us check out without
having any special convictions about death.

:50:27
But we do know what we're leaving.
We do believe in something.

:50:31
Are you absolutely sure
you haven't got a cigar?

:50:34
- Sorry, Mr.Leland.
- Never mind.

:50:36
- What do you know about Rosebud?
- "Rosebud"?

:50:41
His dying words: "Rosebud."
:50:44
I saw that in the Inquirer.
:50:47
I never believed anything
I saw in the Inquirer.

:50:51
Anything else?
:50:52
I can tell you about Emily.
I went to dancing school with Emily.

:50:56
I was very graceful.
:50:59
- We were talking about the first Mrs.Kane.
- What was she like?
