:28:03
Illusions?
:28:06
You'd go so far
as to mutilate a helpless girl,
:28:10
with no means of defending herself?
:28:13
I know what you just said.
:28:15
Do you think I don't understand
:28:17
the dreadful, revolting crime
you just conspired to commit?
:28:31
I thought I knew you better.
:28:35
I thought... in your heart...
you were a good and kind man.
:28:41
A defenseless girl, trusting you
:28:44
to protect her,
and you propose to destroy her?
:28:51
Well, now...
:28:54
I thought it sounded reasonable.
I thought she might be better off.
:28:59
If I thought that you meant it,
:29:05
I wouldn't want to live.
:29:08
You look me in the eye.
:29:12
Could you really take Rose's womanhood
from her, when it's all she has got?
:29:17
May I say,
that I am against this as a rule,
:29:21
but in the case
of near-nymphomania...
:29:29
I must admit,
in Rose's case it would be cruel.
:29:35
She's so attractive and pretty...
:29:41
But...
:29:45
...no... no.
:29:52
It would be bad for any young woman,
:29:55
whether it be Rose,
:29:57
or our Doll Baby
growing up, or whoever.
