I want you out of it.
I want you to go back to Canada, Betsy.

:49:39
Why?
:49:41
Because of Jessica. Because of myself.
:49:43
Because I don't want you
to be made miserable and unhappy.

:49:46
But I want to stay.
:49:48
I'm afraid it's not what you want.
I want you back in Canada.

:49:51
Naturally, as my employer,
you have the right to dismiss me.

:49:54
Don't, Betsy.
You know that isn't what I mean.

:49:58
You remember the first night I saw you?
:50:01
You were looking at the sea.
You were enchanted.

:50:04
But I felt I had to destroy
that enchantment...

:50:06
make you see ugliness and cruelty.
:50:08
- You were trying to warn me.
- No.

:50:11
I was trying to hurt you.
:50:12
It was the same way with Jessica.
I had to hurt her.

:50:16
Everything she did or said
made me lash out at her.

:50:19
That's why I want you to go.
:50:21
You see, Betsy...
:50:25
since you've been here...
:50:27
I've seen how fine and sweet things
can be between a man and a woman...

:50:30
how love can be calm and good.
:50:34
I'd rather not have that sort of love,
than have it and destroy it.

:50:38
You want me to leave you?
:50:40
That's why I want you to go.
:50:41
It's no good for you to stay
so long as I have this fear of myself.
