Double Indemnity1944

Phyllis:
[about Lola] She's putting on an act for you, crying all over your shoulder, that lying...

Walter:
Keep her out of this. All I'm telling you is, we're not going to sue.

Phyllis:
Because you don't want the money any more even if you could have it, because she's made you feel like a heel all of a sudden?

Walter:
It isn't the money any more. It's our necks. We're pulling out. Do you understand?

Phyllis:
Because of what Keyes can do? You're not fooling me, Walter. It's because of Lola. What you did to her father. You're afraid she might find out someday and you can't take it, can you?

Walter:
I said, 'Leave her out of this.'

Phyllis:
It's me I'm talking about. I don't want to be left out of it.

Walter:
Stop saying that. It's just that it hasn't worked out as we wanted. We can't go through with it, that's all.

Phyllis:
We have gone through with it, Walter. The tough part is all behind us. We just have to hold on now and not go soft inside. Stick close together the way we started out...I loved you, Walter, and I hated him. But I wasn't going to do anything about it. Not until I met you. You planned the whole thing. I only wanted him dead.

Walter:
And I'm the one that fixed it so he was dead. Is that what you're telling me?

Phyllis:
And nobody's pulling out. We went into this together and we're coming out at the end together. It's straight down the line for both of us. Remember?

Walter:
[voiceover] Yes, I remembered. Just like I remembered what you had told me, Keyes. About that trolley car ride and how there was no getting off until the end of the line where the cemetery was. And then I got to thinking what cemeteries are for. They're to put dead people in. I guess that was the first time I ever thought about Phyllis that way. Dead, I mean. And how it would be if she were dead.
