A scene from All the King's Men 1949
Anne

I tried to explain to him that it wasn't the way he thought it was.

Jack

How was it, Anne? You tell me.

Anne

He hit me, Jack. My own brother, he hit me.

Jack

Your brother's an old-fashioned man. He believes in his sister's honor. Me, I'm a modern man, the 20th-century type, I run.

Anne

I'm frightened, Jack.

Jack

For who, your brother or Willie?

Anne

We're through.

Jack

Who's through with who?

Anne

He called me this afternoon. He's going back to Lucy. He said it was better this way.

Jack

Better for who, him?

Anne

Both of us.

Jack

Did he tell you that too when he asked you to betray the judge? At least I walked out on him.

Anne

Oh Jack, help me, please! Please! Adam's all I've got left now. Oh Jack, if you ever loved me.

Jack

If I ever loved you? ...I'll go find Adam.
