A scene from Shadow of a Doubt 1943
Uncle Charlie

Charlie, just a minute. I want you to know I think you were right to make me leave. It's best for your mother. Best for all of us. You saw what happened to her last night. She's not very strong, you know. I don't think she could stand the shock. I remember once when she was a little girl... [The train begins moving faster, but he seizes her as she panics and tries to break away.] No, listen Charlie, I want you to forget all about me. Forget that I ever came to Santa Rosa.

Charlie

Your hands! Let me go, Uncle Charlie. Let me go.

Uncle Charlie
[She struggles into the space between the cars, while he grips her mouth and throat and opens the door to fling her onto the tracks.]

I've got to do this, Charlie, so long as you know what you do about me. [He lifts her off the ground - her legs dangle in the air.] Not yet, Charlie, let it get a little faster! Just a little faster! Faster! Now!
[Struggling with him, she is able to reverse position with him and pushes him in front of the oncoming train]
