A scene from Written on the Wind 1956
Marylee

I could tell the police that I saw you kill my dear brother.

Mitch

You could.

Marylee

On the other hand, a wife wouldn't and couldn't testify against her own husband.

Mitch

You know, for a beautiful girl, you can look real ugly sometimes. Ask yourself this: Would I ever be enough for you?

Marylee

I could talk you right into the state penitentiary.

Mitch

You're sick, Marylee. Your sickness won't be cured by marrying me. Before it's too late, you'd better face up to yourself. Look how far we've come from the river.
