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

in fear of my retribution.

1:11:05
Oh, indeed, sir, he has not.
1:11:09
I saw him just now in the city...
1:11:12
boasting of his triumphal attack over you.
1:11:15
I don't believe it.
1:11:16
You were there last night, Lord Verisopht.
I wager you could believe it.

1:11:20
I'll tell you what I believe.
1:11:23
I believe you have
only yourself to blame, Hawk.

1:11:25
What?
1:11:27
If you had only told him who you were,
as he asked.

1:11:31
I was wrong, too, not to interfere.
1:11:33
I did not sleep the night, thinking about it.
1:11:35
Whatever mistakes were made,
were made by the boy.

1:11:39
I am his uncle,
and even I can see that he is no good.

1:11:43
He was defending the honor of his sister.
1:11:46
That is the very definition of goodness.
1:11:51
How can you not be proud of what
he's done in defense of your own niece?
