A scene from The Letter 1940
Leslie

I'm afraid I've made rather a mess of things...You distrusted me from the beginning. Are you going to let them hang me?

Howard

What do you mean by that, Leslie?

Leslie

You could get the letter.

Howard

Do you think it's so easy to do away with unwelcome evidence?

Leslie

Surely, nothing would have been said to us - if the owner weren't quite prepared to sell it.

Howard

That's true. But I'm not prepared to buy it.
