Mark McPherson:
Were you in love with Laura Hunt, Mr. Lydecker? Was she in love with you? Waldo Lydecker:
Laura considered me the wisest, the wittiest, the most interesting man she'd ever met. I was in complete accord with her on that point. She thought me also the kindest, the gentlest, most sympathetic man in the world. Mark McPherson:
Did you agree with her there, too? Waldo Lydecker:
McPherson, you won't understand this, but I tried to become the kindest, gentlest, the most sympathetic man in the world. Mark McPherson:
Have any luck? Waldo Lydecker:
Let me put it this way: I should be sincerely sorry to see my neighbors' children devoured by wolves

No, thanks.
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:05.701
Were you in love
with Laura Hunt, Mr. Lydecker?
00:00:08.604 --> 00:00:10.705
Was she in love with you?
00:00:10.906 --> 00:00:13.207
Laura considered me
the wisest, the wittiest...
00:00:13.307 --> 00:00:16.031
the most interesting man
she'd ever met.
00:00:16.041 --> 00:00:19.112
I was in complete accord
with her on that point.
00:00:20.213 --> 00:00:22.214
She thought me also
the kindest...
00:00:22.314 --> 00:00:24.516
the gentlest...
00:00:24.616 --> 00:00:27.001
the most sympathetic man
in the world.
00:00:27.118 --> 00:00:29.619
Did you agree
with her there too?
00:00:29.082 --> 00:00:32.121
McPherson,
you won't understand this...
00:00:33.422 --> 00:00:37.124
but I tried to become
the kindest, the gentlest...
00:00:38.001 --> 00:00:40.126
the most sympathetic man
in the world.
00:00:40.226 --> 00:00:42.728
Have any luck?
00:00:42.829 --> 00:00:45.931
Let me put it this way.
00:00:46.001 --> 00:00:50.634
I should be sincerely sorry to see my
neighbors' children devoured by wolves.
00:00:50.634 --> 00:00:52.637
Shall we go?
00:01:15.851 --> 00:01:18.001
- Good morning, Lieutenant.
- Good morning, Mrs. Treadwell.
00:01:18.001 --> 00:01:20.154
- Waldo.
- Good morning, Ann.
00:01:20.255 --> 00:01:23.999
- I've just taken over the Laura Hunt case.
- Won't you sit down?
00:01:23.556 --> 00:01:25.958
Thanks. I have
all the reports...
00:01:25.958 --> 00:01:28.999
but there are a few more questions
I'd like to ask.
00:01:28.999 --> 00:01:30.001
Certainly. I'll do anything
I can to help.
00:01:30.001 --> 00:01:32.663
You were fond of your niece,
Mrs. Treadwell?
00:01:32.663 --> 00:01:34.001
Why, I adored her.
Cigarette?
00:01:34.764 --> 00:01:37.566
No, thanks. You collapsed when
you identified the body.
00:01:37.666 --> 00:01:41.001
I can quite understand that. A shotgun
loaded with buckshot, close range.
00:01:41.087 --> 00:01:44.999
- It's not very nice to look at.
- It was horrible.
