We really should preserve it for posterity,
:05:04
except, it's such good crystal
and I'd hate to break up the set.

:05:10
Out of this,
David Kentley had his last drink.

:05:17
It should have been ginger ale,
or even beer.

:05:20
It was out of character for David
to drink anything as corrupt as whiskey.

:05:25
Out of character
for him to be murdered, too.

:05:28
Yes, wasn't it? Good Americans
usually die young on the battlefield.

:05:33
Well, the Davids of this world
merely occupy space,

:05:38
which is why he was
the perfect victim for the perfect murder.

:05:43
'Course,
he was a Harvard undergraduate.

:05:47
That might make it justifiable homicide.
:05:50
He's dead and we've killed him.
But he's still here.

:05:53
In less than eight hours
he'll be resting at the bottom of a lake.

:05:57
Meanwhile, he's here.
:06:01
- What are you doing?
- It's not locked.

:06:04
All the better. It's more dangerous.
And the lock's too old. It won't work.

:06:08
I wish it would.
I wish we had him out of here.

:06:11
I wish it were somebody else.
:06:13
It's a trifle late for that, don't you think?
:06:17
Whom would you have preferred,
Kenneth?

:06:20
I don't know,
I suppose anyone was as good...

:06:23
or as bad as any other.
:06:26
You, perhaps. You frighten me.
:06:30
You always have,
from that very first day in prep school.

:06:34
Part of your charm, I suppose.
:06:40
I'm only kidding, Brandon.
:06:42
I obviously can't take it as well as you,
so I'm turning on you a little.

:06:47
- That's rather foolish, isn't it?
- Yes, very.

:06:52
May I have a drink now?
:06:56
By all means. This is an occasion.
It calls for champagne.
