A scene from The Lady Eve 1941
Jean Harrington Barbara Stanwyck

[after Charles tells her he knew she was a con-artist and he romanced and dumped her on purpose]

You mean you were playing me for a sucker? I don't believe it. But if you were, if you were just trying to make me feel cheap and hurt me, you succeeded handsomely. You ought to be very proud of yourself, Mr. Pike, very proud of yourself.
