:40:01
Well, I read in the papers about his death
and I felt just terrible.
:40:06
Thank you.
:40:07
I felt just terrible,
because they said he was killed in his office.
:40:12
- So they did.
- Well...
:40:15
In my story, you see, he couldn't have
actually been killed in an office,
:40:21
because he was somewhere else.
:40:26
Just for a moment, let's forget about
your story and let's talk about real life.
:40:34
- It is simpler, isn't it?
- Much.
:40:37
I'll tell you honestly, Ken.
:40:39
I was very confused when I saw the papers,
:40:42
because when you were in my store
making a phone call the other day,
:40:48
I wandered over to the side window
to see if you had brought a lady with you.
:40:53
You didn't believe me
when I said I was alone.
:40:55
I believed you. It's just that...
:40:59
I'm very interested in you, Ken.
:41:05
Well, anyway, you can imagine my surprise
when I saw your partner.
:41:10
There he was, big as life, sitting there
in the front seat of your car.
:41:15
- And that disturbed you, huh?
- Oh, not at that time.
:41:20
Only later.
:41:22
And then I debated with myself for days,
whether to come and see you or not.
:41:29
- Why didn't you go to the police?
- Oh, Ken.
:41:33
- I wouldn't want to get you into trouble.
- Of course not. All right, Lilly. How much?
:41:40
- I hope you don't think that's the...
- No. I don't think anything.
:41:45
I'll tell you something.
I'm most grateful you came to me first.
:41:49
Know why? Because I think we can
reach an equitable agreement.
:41:54
I do so admire your candour.
:41:58
It isn't easy for me, a widow running a small
country store, trying to make ends meet.
