1:13:01
And you've thrown my own words
right back in my face, Brandon.

1:13:05
You were right, too. If nothing else,
a man should stand by his words.

1:13:09
But you've given my words
a meaning that I never dreamed of!

1:13:14
And you've tried to twist them
1:13:15
into a cold, logical excuse
for your ugly murder!

1:13:21
Well, they never were that, Brandon,
1:13:24
and you can't make them that.
1:13:26
There must have been something
deep inside you from the very start

1:13:30
that let you do this thing,
1:13:33
but there's always been
something deep inside me

1:13:35
that would never let me do it,
1:13:38
- and would never let me be a party to it.
- What do you mean?

1:13:41
I mean that tonight you've made me
ashamed of every concept I ever had

1:13:45
of superior or inferior beings.
1:13:48
But I thank you for that shame,
1:13:51
because now I know that we are each
of us a separate human being, Brandon,

1:13:56
with the right to live and work
and think as individuals,

1:14:00
but with an obligation
to the society we live in.

1:14:05
By what right do you dare say
1:14:07
that there's a superior few
to which you belong?

1:14:11
By what right did you dare decide
1:14:14
that that boy in there was inferior
and therefore could be killed?

1:14:19
Did you think you were God, Brandon?
1:14:22
Is that what you thought
when you choked the life out of him?

1:14:25
Is that what you thought
when you served food from his grave?

1:14:29
I don't know what you thought,
but I know what you've done.

1:14:33
You've murdered!
1:14:35
You've strangled a fellow human being
1:14:37
who could live and love
as you never could.

1:14:41
- And never will again.
- What are you doing?

1:14:43
It's what society's going to do. I don't
know what that will be. I can guess.

1:14:48
And I can help. You're going to die,
Brandon, both of you!

1:14:52
You're going to die.
