A scene from Magnolia 1999
Linda Partridge

[to her lawyer]

I have to tell you something, I have something to tell you. I want to change his will. Can I change his will? I need to....No, no, no, you see, uhm, I never loved him. I never loved him. Earl. When I met him, when I started, I met him, I **** him, and I married him because I wanted his money. Do you understand? I'm telling you this. I've never told anyone, I didn't love him, but now, you know, I know I'm in that will. I mean, we're all there together. We made that **** thing and all the money I'll get. And I don't want it, because I love him so much now. I've fallen in love with him now for real as he's dying. And, uhm, I look at him, and he's about to go, Alan. He's moments. I took care of him through this, Alan. What now, then? I don't want him to die. I didn't love him when we met, and I did so many bad things to him that he doesn't know. Things that I want to confess to him, but now I do. I love him....This isn't any **** medication talking! This isn't -- I don't know, I don't know. Can you give me nothing? You, you have power of attorney! Can you go, can you go in the final **** moments and change the will? I-I don't want any money. I couldn't live with myself with this thing that I've done. I've done so many bad things. I **** around. I **** cheated on him. I **** cheated on him, Alan! There. There. You're his lawyer, our lawyer. I am his wife. We are married. I broke the contract of marriage. I **** around on him many times. I sucked other men's ****...

Alan Kligman

Linda, stop. Now you take a moment, you breathe, and one thing at a time.

Linda Partridge

Shut the **** up.

Alan Kligman

You know what would help you, Linda?

Linda Partridge

Shut the **** up. Shut the **** up.

Alan Kligman

You need to sober up.

Linda Partridge

Now, you must really shut the **** up now, please - shut the **** up.

Alan Kligman

Linda.

Linda Partridge

I have to go.

Alan Kligman

Let me call you a car, Linda.

Linda Partridge

Shut the **** up.
