Another Man Done Gone

- "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."
- "And I'm the one that fixed it so he was dead. Is that what you're telling me?"
- "And nobody's pulling out ... It's straight down the line for both of us. Remember?"
 

(Double Indemnity / Billy Wilder, 1944)
