Quote context

[...]

- And did you get in?

- I bribed one of his servants to get me an impression of the lock. Here's the key.

- I waited until Dorian came down here to Selby and then I let myself in.

- I know you'll despise me for stooping to such measures, but I'm not important. It doesn't matter what happens to me or even what you think of me if I can stop you from marrying him.

- What did you find in the room?

- Nothing to help me really. It's just an old schoolroom with books and things and there's a huge portrait with a covering over it.

- A portrait? Of whom?

- I don't know. The original must be a monstrous person, if an original exists.

- It has a vague family resemblance to Dorian. A sort of middle-aged, mad, gruesome uncle with a debauched face and blood all over him.

- It was painted by your uncle. My uncle never painted such a picture.

- He signed it.

- I've been counting so much on finding something to help me that I decided perhaps it was just stupid jealousy on my part that I've been doing Dorian a great injustice.

- I had an impulse to come down here and make a clean breast of it to both of you. Give you my blessing and ask your forgiveness.

- Can you describe the portrait in greater detail?

- There's a curious cat in it. Like the one in Dorian's drawing room. Only in the portrait the eyes shine in an evil way that's indescribable.

Top rated lines from this movie

The world is yours for a season. It would be tragic if you realized too late as so many others do that there is only one thing in the world worth having, and that is youth.
If only the picture could change, and I could be always what I am now. For that I would give everything. Yes, there's nothing in the whole world I would not give. I would give my soul for that.
Time is jealous of you, Mr. Gray. Don't squander the gold of your days. Live. Let nothing be lost upon you. Be afraid of nothing. There is such a little time that your youth will last and you can never get it back.
Always? That's a dreadful word. It makes me shudder to hear it. Women are so fond of using it. They spoil every romance by trying to make it last forever.
I am analysing women at present. The subject is less difficult than I was led to believe.
