No Night Is Too Long2002

Dr. Ivo Steadman:
So, where is he? [Silence from Isabel, Ivo glances towards the kitchen] Oh... [whispers] Where is he?

Kit Winwood:
[Walking in from the kitchen] Where's who?

Isabel:
[to Ivo] I thought you might have known?

Dr. Ivo Steadman:
Well, if I knew I wouldn't be asking, would I?

Kit Winwood:
Who are we talking about here?

Dr. Ivo Steadman:
We're talking about Tim Cornish, a friend of mine from England. Well, he was a... a lover.

Kit Winwood:
Ahh...

Dr. Ivo Steadman:
He'd come with me on one of my lecture cruises, and we stopped off at this island, and we ended up having a fight. And, uh... well, I fell against a rock, I was out cold and... [pause] He left me there. Dead, as far as he knows.

Kit Winwood:
Jesus! How long were you there?

Dr. Ivo Steadman:
Two or three days. One of my colleagues got suspicious. So, the next cruise stopped off and uh... here I am.

Kit Winwood:
Oh my God... this guy really wanted to kill you?

Dr. Ivo Steadman:
He wanted me out of the way because he's got another lover.

Kit Winwood:
Is that who he's with now?

Dr. Ivo Steadman:
[Looks at Isabel]... I don't know.

Kit Winwood:
[Getting suspicious] What's going on here?

Dr. Ivo Steadman:
But what I do know is that when he tried to kill me, he had every intention of resuming the affair.

Kit Winwood:
[Angry] So who the hell is the affair with?

Dr. Ivo Steadman:
[Looking accusingly at Isabel]... My sister.

[Isabel flees up the stairs, Ivo jumps off the couch and goes after her]

Dr. Ivo Steadman:
Isabel. ISABEL! [Slamming on her bedroom door] Open this f***ing door! How could you do this to me?

Isabel:
You shouldn't have asked me!

Dr. Ivo Steadman:
I thought I could trust you?

Isabel:
I didn't want anything to do with it! Asking me to spy on him while you were away, making sure that he didn't misbehave, it was... it was ridiculous!

Dr. Ivo Steadman:
[Near tears] But you knew! You knew what I felt for him! [Slams on the door] You knew what I felt for him!
