Something wrong with the clip?

General Sternwood:
You may smoke, too. I can still enjoy the smell of it. Nice state of affairs when a man has to indulge his vices by proxy. You're looking, sir, at a very dull survival of a very gaudy life. Crippled, paralyzed in both legs. Very little I can eat, and my sleep is so near waking that it's hardly worth the name. I seem to exist largely on heat, like a newborn spider.

00:00:00.755 --> 00:00:02.759
You may smoke too.
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:04.879
I can still enjoy the smell of it.
00:00:06.026 --> 00:00:10.604
Nice state of affairs when a man
has to indulge his vices by proxy.
00:00:10.806 --> 00:00:14.507
You're looking, sir, at a very dull
survival of a very gaudy life.
00:00:14.959 --> 00:00:17.299
Crippled, paralyzed in both legs.
00:00:17.491 --> 00:00:19.974
Little I can eat, and
my sleep is so near waking...
00:00:20.176 --> 00:00:21.585
...it's hardly worth the name.
00:00:21.777 --> 00:00:25.804
I seem to exist largely on heat,
like a newborn spider.
00:00:26.611 --> 00:00:29.574
The orchids are an excuse
for the heat.
00:00:29.776 --> 00:00:32.003
- Do you like orchids?
- Not particularly.
00:00:32.212 --> 00:00:33.142
Nasty things.
00:00:33.065 --> 00:00:35.692
Their flesh is too much
like the flesh of men.
00:00:35.894 --> 00:00:38.079
Their perfume has the rotten
sweetness of corruption.
00:00:42.008 --> 00:00:44.003
Tell me about yourself.
00:00:44.823 --> 00:00:47.374
There isn't much to tell.
I'm 38. I went to college.
00:00:47.575 --> 00:00:49.962
I can still speak English,
when my business demands it.
00:00:50.165 --> 00:00:52.073
I worked for the
district attorney's office.
00:00:52.275 --> 00:00:54.758
Bernie Ohls, the chief inspector,
said you wanted to see me.
00:00:55.507 --> 00:00:57.616
You didn't like working
for the district attorney?
00:00:59.189 --> 00:01:02.833
I was fired for insubordination.
I seem to rate pretty high on that.
00:01:04.502 --> 00:01:06.064
I always did, myself.
00:01:07.504 --> 00:01:09.134
What do you know about my family?
00:01:09.999 --> 00:01:11.953
Well, you're a widower,
a millionaire.
