Killing Me Softly movie plot
-
Adam Tallis: [sits looking down at his loosely tied captive] Have you been with another man?
Alice: [smiles] No.
Adam Tallis: [whispers] What are you doing, then, hmm? What's going on in there?
[taps her forehead, then gets up]
Adam Tallis: Why... why do you keep sneaking around? Is... is the suspicion exciting? Do you need it to get off? What is it?
Alice: [sits upright] i found Adèle's letters.
[defiant look]
Adam Tallis: You..."found"... Adèle's letters?
[whispers:]
Adam Tallis: Is that how you tell the story? They were just... sitting with my keys and you happened to notice them?
[rushes up the stairs, promptly returning, scattering letters]
Adam Tallis: Look what I just happened to find. These... and these! And I found these! Here, read them! I have nothing to hide, Alice!
[she lies down, feigning indifference, and he comes down the stairs]
Adam Tallis: Do you sneak around behind my back because you... need it to get rougher and rougher? I mean, is that it? I'm trying to understand you, Alice. Do you do this so I punish you?
[panting breath]
Adam Tallis: Is that where you're going?
Alice: [lies down] Adam... please untie me.
Adam Tallis: If you trusted me...
[rasping breath]
Adam Tallis: you wouldn't be in this position, Alice.
Alice: [sits upright again] I just... I just wanted to know more about you... I wanted to know your past. And I wanted to know your stories. I just thought if I knew more... that I could love you more. I know the only thing that matters is us together. I know that. Because when you're not around, I get lost.
[sad little sniffle]
Adam Tallis: It drives me crazy to think about losing you.
[strokes her bound feet lovingly, and as she lies down flat again, he kisses the nearest foot, sighing:]
Adam Tallis: I'm yours, Alice. What more do you need to know?
[his hands on her throat:]
Adam Tallis: I could break your neck, I love you so much. Do you want to stay here? I mean... do you like this?
Alice: Adam... I have to pee.

Adam Tallis: [to police officers in interrogation room] I would never hurt her. I love her.
Alice: [looking through one-way mirror] You brought him in?
Senior Police Officer: He walked in, looking for you. He brought in a pair of shoes. He was worried about your feet...
[Alice contemplates this]
Senior Police Officer: I believe your husband has the potential for violence. I believe he's unpredictable. But is he a murderer? I don't know. The truth is, what you two have been doing together was consensual. You said it yourself. You liked it.
