Double Indemnity (1944): Deciding to Kill Mr Dietrichson

The clip Deciding to kill Mr Dietrichson from Double Indemnity (1944)

Maybe she had stopped thinking about it, but I hadn't.
I couldn't.
Because it all tied up with something I'd been thinking about for years.
Since long before I ever ran into Phyllis Dietrichson.
Because you know how it is, Keyes.
In this business you can't sleep...
...for trying to figure out all the tricks they could pull on you.
You're like the guy behind the roulette wheel...
...watching the customers to make sure they don't crook the house.
And then one night, you get to thinking how you could crook the house yourself.
And do it smart.
Because you've got that wheel right under your hands.
You know every notch in it by heart.
And you figure all you need is a plant out front.
A shill to put down the bet.
And suddenly the doorbell rings...
...and the whole setup is right there in the room with you.
Look, Keyes, I'm not trying to whitewash myself.
I fought it, only I guess I didn't fight it hard enough.
The stakes were $50,000, but they were the life of a man, too.
A man who'd never done me any dirt, except...
...he was married to a woman he didn't care anything about.
And I did.
Will you phone me? Walter?
I hate him. I loathe going back to him.
You believe me, don't you, Walter?
Sure I believe you.
I can't stand it anymore. What if they did hang me?
They're not going to hang you, baby.
It's better than going on this way.
They're not gonna hang you because...
...you're gonna do it and I'm gonna help you.
Do you know what you're saying?
Sure, I know what I'm saying.
We're gonna do it and we're gonna do it right.
And I'm the guy that knows how.
Walter, you're hurting me.
There's not going to be any slip-up. Nothing sloppy. Nothing weak.
It's got to be perfect.
