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

:42:05

in you a woman of... some breeding.

:42:10
I mean, you're not just

:42:13
I'm so glad you're understanding.
:42:17
Very well, Lilly. How much for your silence?
:42:25
$15,000? I... Oh! I know it's a lot,
but that's all I'll ever ask for. Honestly.

:42:31
- And I'm a woman of my word!
- I know and I respect you for that.

:42:35
And you know what?
In that spirit, I accept your terms. Agreed?

:42:41
Agreed.
:42:44
I know you won't take offence when I say
it's a pleasure doing business with you.

:42:50
No, no. My pleasure.
