Remember we said,
we've always said, you and I,

1:12:04
that moral concepts of good and evil
and right and wrong

1:12:09
don't hold for the intellectually superior.
1:12:11
- Remember, Rupert?
- Yes, I remember.

1:12:14
(Brandon) That's all we've done.
That's all Phillip and l have done.

1:12:18
He and I have lived
what you and I have talked.

1:12:21
I knew you'd understand, because,
don't you see, you have to.

1:12:39
Brandon -
1:12:44
Brandon, till this very moment,
1:12:49
this world and the people in it
1:12:50
have always been dark
and incomprehensible to me.

1:12:54
I've tried to clear my way with logic
1:12:58
and superior intellect.
1:13:01
And you've thrown my own words
right back in my face, Brandon.

1:13:05
You were right, too. If nothing else,
a man should stand by his words.

1:13:09
But you've given my words
a meaning that I never dreamed of!

1:13:14
And you've tried to twist them
1:13:15
into a cold, logical excuse
for your ugly murder!

1:13:21
Well, they never were that, Brandon,
1:13:24
and you can't make them that.
1:13:26
There must have been something
deep inside you from the very start

1:13:30
that let you do this thing,
1:13:33
but there's always been
something deep inside me

1:13:35
that would never let me do it,
1:13:38
- and would never let me be a party to it.
- What do you mean?

1:13:41
I mean that tonight you've made me
ashamed of every concept I ever had

1:13:45
of superior or inferior beings.
1:13:48
But I thank you for that shame,
1:13:51
because now I know that we are each
of us a separate human being, Brandon,

1:13:56
with the right to live and work
and think as individuals,
