:17:00
We've got him now, Robbie.
:17:01
He wrote it down,
the porter read it -
:17:04
that makes it a public libel.
:17:05
- Now we can take him to court.
- For God's sake!
:17:09
Oscar!
:17:11
Oscar, you mustn't
do that.
:17:12
That would be...
I mean...
:17:14
We've been waiting
to get him in the dock
:17:16
and show the world
what a swine and shit he's been.
:17:19
To me, my mother,
my brothers...
:17:21
But he'll plead justification.
:17:23
He'll call the renters
as witnesses for the defence.
:17:26
He doesn't know
what a renter is.
:17:28
No? I hear he's had
detectives following you
:17:30
ever since you came back
from Egypt.
:17:33
He can't prove anything.
But we can.
:17:35
We can prove
he's the vilest man
:17:37
that ever walked
the earth.
:17:39
Tear the card up.
:17:40
- Pretend you never got it.
- Are you mad?
:17:43
That's our main piece
of evidence.
:17:44
If Oscar went abroad
for a few months
:17:46
while your father calms down...
:17:48
Whose side
are you on?
:17:49
If this goes to court,
:17:51
Oscar will have to tell lies!
:17:53
Perjure himself!
:17:54
Everything will come out.
:17:56
Whatever the result,
it'll be utter disaster.
:17:59
You're an enemy, then.
:18:00
No, no.
Bosie, please.
:18:03
Robbie, you're a dear boy,
:18:05
but I can't even think
of leaving the country.
:18:08
As a matter of fact,
:18:09
I can't even leave this hotel.
:18:11
I can't pay the bill.
:18:13
We can raise you money,
for heaven's sake!
:18:15
Anyway, what about
your royalties?
:18:17
We shall need all the money
for the libel case.
:18:20
My father can't go on
:18:22
making all our lives
a torment like this.
:18:25
Oscar, I beg you...
:18:28
I'm not going
to run away, Robbie.
:18:30
I'm not going to hide.
:18:32
That would be
the English thing to do.
:18:34
If you take
Queensberry to court,
:18:36
all hell will break loose.
:18:38
All my life, I've fought
against the English vice -
:18:41
hypocrisy. Not that
that's the point.
:18:43
Queensberry's already
caused the death
:18:46
of one of his sons.
:18:48
If I don't try and stop him now,
:18:50
who will he harm next?
:18:53
He's avoiding me, Robbie.
:18:55
I know what
everyone's saying.
:18:57
But it's not true.
