Quote context

[...]

- What is it you've done, David?

- There's a locked room at the top of Dorian's house. I didn't attach any importance to it at first. He could have locked up anything there that he wanted to keep safe from the servants even.

- But then one of Dorian's valets came to see me about a position. It struck me how often Dorian changed his servants. This one told me that Dorian would seal up that room at all hours and lock himself in.

- One night he heard a noise and went to investigate. It was 4:00 in the morning.

- Dorian came out of the room and looked at him in the strangest way. As if he could kill him, he said. Then he accused him of spying and sacked him.

- I began to feel that if I could get into that room I might find something that would put a stop to this marriage.

- 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.

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.
