1:09:00
Come near my sister again...
1:09:03
and I shall not be so forgiving.
1:09:10
The Exchange is now open for business.
1:09:39
You are known to me now...
1:09:41
every suspicion viciously confirmed.
1:09:44
And you to me.
1:09:47
I? What wrong have I done?
1:09:49
Did you not attack the schoolmaster?
1:09:51
The monster was beating a crippled boy!
1:09:54
You choose to restore that boy?
1:09:57
No more than I would restore
a lamb to a wolf.

1:09:59
Then your appearance here
to beg my help is in vain.

1:10:05
You mistake the point of this conference.
1:10:08
We knew no shame until we knew you...
1:10:12
and the degradations we have endured...
1:10:14
whether at Dotheboys Hall
or in the dark box of a theatre...

1:10:19
all trace their poisoned roots to you.
1:10:23
You did not want us when we came...
1:10:25
and it shamed me to seek help
from someone unwilling to give it.

1:10:30
Now our only shame is the blood
which binds our name to yours.

1:10:34
Therefore, your brother's widow
and her children renounce you!

1:10:40
May every recollection of your life cast
a terrifying darkness over your deathbed.

1:10:46
How soon that day may come,
I cannot know.

1:10:48
But I do know that in our life,
you live no more.

1:10:53
I disown him.
1:10:55
I would give good money
to have him stabbed...

1:10:58
and rolled into the kennels
for the dogs to devour.
