Quote context

[...]

- Keep that question for your husband when you get one.

- Meanwhile, I'll admit that you're the white man's burden.

- Oh, yes, I know, and I can't tell you how it comforts me.

- Why don't you give yourself up?

- To whom?

- Thank you, but it's a little impractical at the moment.

- Listen to me. I told you the truth on the train and I'm telling it to you now.

- There's a dangerous conspiracy against this country and I'm the only man who can stop it.

- Ha ha. I don't believe you.

- All right, very well then. I'm just a plain, common murderer who stabbed an innocent, defenceless woman in the back in Portland Place, London.

- I don't know how innocent you may be... but you're a woman, you're defenceless, and you're alone on a desolate moor in the dark.

- And you're manacled to a murderer who would stop at nothing to get you off his hands.

- If that's the story you prefer, have it, my lovely, and welcome.
