:02:04
You mistake the point of this conference.
:02:07
We knew no shame until we knew you...
:02:10
and the degradations we have endured...
:02:13
whether at Dotheboys Hall
or in the dark box of a theatre...

:02:18
all trace their poisoned roots to you.
:02:22
You did not want us when we came...
:02:24
and it shamed me to seek help
from someone unwilling to give it.

:02:29
Now our only shame is the blood
which binds our name to yours.

:02:33
Therefore, your brother's widow
and her children renounce you!

:02:39
May every recollection of your life cast
a terrifying darkness over your deathbed.

:02:45
How soon that day may come,
I cannot know.

:02:47
But I do know that in our life,
you live no more.

:02:52
I disown him.
:02:54
I would give good money
to have him stabbed...

:02:56
and rolled into the kennels
for the dogs to devour.

:02:59
As would I.
:03:01
But I am sure he's left London
in fear of my retribution.

:03:04
Oh, indeed, sir, he has not.
:03:08
I saw him just now in the city...
:03:11
boasting of his triumphal attack over you.
:03:13
I don't believe it.
:03:15
You were there last night, Lord Verisopht.
I wager you could believe it.

:03:19
I'll tell you what I believe.
:03:22
I believe you have
only yourself to blame, Hawk.

:03:24
What?
:03:25
If you had only told him who you were,
as he asked.

:03:30
I was wrong, too, not to interfere.
:03:32
I did not sleep the night, thinking about it.
:03:34
Whatever mistakes were made,
were made by the boy.

:03:38
I am his uncle,
and even I can see that he is no good.

:03:42
He was defending the honor of his sister.
:03:45
That is the very definition of goodness.
:03:50
How can you not be proud of what
he's done in defense of your own niece?

:03:54
You will be glad, my Lord, that I possess...
:03:56
such an unsentimental view
when I am managing your investments.
