I pretended that she would have
become my wife...

1:04:03
even if I'd been unable to give her wealth.
1:04:06
I've enjoyed pretending that.
1:04:07
It's given me great happiness.
Pride, of course.

1:04:13
But now I'm losing her. I don't know why.
1:04:17
I don't understand what's happened.
But I'm losing her.

1:04:21
Ironic that it should be
because of my jade.

1:04:23
Because of that, a man has died.
1:04:26
A paltry, foppish man of no consequence,
who's better dead.

1:04:31
Nevertheless, he's dead
because of my necklace.

1:04:35
I don't know why. But it must stop.
1:04:39
It must stop, Mr. Marlowe! It must stop!
1:04:48
What do you want me to do about it?
1:04:50
You must go no further.
The matter must be closed.

1:04:53
I'll pay you well.
1:04:56
Now this is beginning to make sense
in a screwy sort of way.

1:05:00
I get dragged in, get money shoved at me.
I get pushed out, get money shoved at me.

1:05:04
Everybody pushes me in,
everybody pushes me out.

1:05:06
Nobody wants me to do anything.
1:05:11
Okay. Put a check in the mail.
1:05:14
I cost a lot not to do anything.
I get restless. Throw in a trip to Mexico.

1:05:20
I'll be right back, Father.
1:05:31
- Have you got a key to the beach house?
- But you said...

1:05:35
I bowed out. I stopped. He thinks it's over.
That doesn't stop anything.

1:05:39
These things don't work like that.
Okay, so I go hide under the covers.

1:05:43
Do the police stop?
Does Helen stop? Do you stop?

1:05:47
- What do you mean, "Does Helen stop?"
- I don't know.

1:05:49
If I always knew what I meant,
I'd be a genius.

1:05:51
But I know this. A cancer doesn't
stop growing just because you ask it to.

1:05:55
You're vicious. You take some
horrible sort of satisfaction...
