A scene from The Talented Mr. Ripley 1999
Peter Smith-Kingsley

Sorry, I'm completely lost.

Tom Ripley

I know. I'm lost. I'm going to be stuck in the basement, aren't I? [voice cracking] That's my, that's my... terrible, and alone, and dark, and I've lied about who I am, and where I am, and now no one will ever find me.

Peter Smith-Kingsley

What do you mean... lied about who you are?

Tom Ripley

[near tears]

I always thought it'd be better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody.

Peter Smith-Kingsley

What are you talking about? You're not a nobody. That's the last thing you are.

Tom Ripley

Peter. Tell me some good things about Tom Ripley.

Tom Ripley

[Tom lays down next to Peter, preparing to strangle him]

No, no, don't get up. Just tell me nice things, some nice things about Tom Ripley.
