1:23:31
Hey, Ann, where’s the towel?
1:23:33
Here.
1:23:34
What the hell was that for?
1:23:36
You unspeakable bastard!
1:23:38
Me?
1:23:39
Eight-car collision, my ass.
You were with Ellen Grady.

1:23:42
And if you were with her,
1:23:43
it follows that the day and
the night you slept with her.

1:23:45
No. Wait a minute.
You lied to me.

1:23:48
No, I did not.
Well, technically, maybe.

1:23:50
What the hell does
“technically, maybe” mean?

1:23:52
It means something like, well,
1:23:54
what appears on the surface
to be a lie,

1:23:56
underneath, somewhere,
there’s a deep profound truth.

1:23:59
Bullshit!
1:24:00
All right. All right, I
didn’t sleep with Ellen Grady

1:24:03
because technically
I was too damned drunk.

1:24:06
You wanted me to be honest.
I’m being honest.

1:24:08
Don’t force yourself.
1:24:09
I went over there
to see if I could talk her out

1:24:11
of that goddamned
$10-million lawsuit.

1:24:13
If I’d done that, I’d have
some leverage with Willoughby.

1:24:16
Oh, I see. No matter
how painful, how distasteful,

1:24:18
you were prepared to throw
yourself on that withered old body

1:24:21
for the sake of
good old Ken Gen.

1:24:22
Well, it crossed my mind.
It’s the truth.

1:24:25
I wasn’t ready
to make a commitment.

1:24:28
That’s not nice.
1:24:32
You are a coward, you’re afraid
to stand up to Willoughby,

1:24:35
and you don’t have the
courage to stand by me.

1:24:37
Courage?
1:24:38
Oh, that I do not accept.
1:24:40
I am a surgeon, lady.
Have you forgotten?

1:24:42
Every day, we cut people open
from their sternum to their zotz.

1:24:46
We take out kidneys,
gallbladders, lungs.

1:24:48
Great big loops of intestines,
we build new rectums,

1:24:51
dig into skulls
with brace and bit,

1:24:53
plunge our hands
into beating hearts.

1:24:55
You call that cowardly?
1:24:57
You are consumed with fear.
