How can I put you at ease?

ShaII we begin Iike ''David CopperfieId''?
:05:12
''I am born...
:05:14
''...I grew up.''
:05:17
Or shaII we begin when I was
born to darkness, as I caII it.
:05:22
That's where we shouId start,
don't you think?
:05:27
You're not Iying, are you?
:05:30
Why shouId I Iie?
:05:33
"1 791 was the" y"ear it happened."
:05:40
I was 24.
:05:42
"Younger than" y"ou are now."
:05:45
But times were different then.
I was a man at that age.
:05:48
The master of a large plantation,
just south of New Orleans.
:05:55
"I had lost m"y "wife in childbirth."
:05:58
She and the infant had been
"buried less than half a" y"ear."
:06:02
"I would've been happ"y "to join them."
:06:06
I couldn't bear the pain of their loss.
:06:09
I longed to be released from it.
:06:24
I wanted to lose it all:
:06:26
"m"y "wealth..."
:06:28
"...m"y "estate..."
:06:30
"...m"y "sanit"y.
:06:39
How many aces are in a deck?
:06:41
Are you caIIing me a cheat?
:06:46
No, I'm caIIing you a piece of stinking offaI!
:06:54
You Iack the courage of your convictions.
Do it!
:06:58
Most of all, I longed for death.
