[Sir Wilfrid is cross-examining Christine Helm.] Sir Wilfrid : Mrs Vole. Or Mrs Helm; which do you prefer to be called? Christine Helm : It does not matter. Sir Wilfrid : Does it not? In this country, we are inclined to take a rather more serious view of marriage. However, Frau Helm, it would appear that when you first met the prisoner in Hamburg, you lied to him about your marital status? Christine Helm : I wanted to get out of Germany, so— Sir Wilfrid : You lied, did you not? Just yes or no, please. Christine Helm : Yes. Sir Wilfrid : Thank you. And subsequently, in arranging the marriage, you lied to the authorities? Christine Helm : I, um, did not tell the truth to the authorities. Sir Wilfrid : You lied to them? Christine Helm : Yes. Sir Wilfrid : And in the ceremony of marriage itself, when you swore to love and to honor and to cherish your husband, that, too, was a lie? Christine Helm : Yes. Sir Wilfrid : And when the police questioned you about this wretched man who believed himself married and loved, you told them— Christine Helm : I told them what Leonard wanted me to say. Sir Wilfrid : You told them that he was at home with you at 25 minutes past 9, and now you say that that was a lie? [ beginning to chuckle now ] Christine Helm : Yes, a lie! Sir Wilfrid : And when you said that he had accidentally cut his wrist, again , you lied? [ chuckling again ] Christine Helm : Yes! Sir Wilfrid : [ chuckling further ] And now today you've told us a new story entirely! [ serious now ] The question is, Frau Helm, were you lying then, are you lying now, or are you not in fact a chronic and habitual LIAR?!
