Chinatown1974

Gittes:
There's no time to be shocked by the truth. The coroner's report proves that he had salt water in his lungs when he was killed. Just take my word for it, all right? Now, I want to know how it happened, and I want to know why, and I want to know before Escobar gets here because I don't want to lose my license...I want to make it easy for ya. You were jealous. You had a fight. He fell. He hit his head. It was an accident but his girl is a witness. So you had to shut her up. You don't have the guts to harm her, but you got the money to keep her mouth shut. Who is she? And don't give me that crap about your sister because you don't have a sister.

Mrs. Mulwray:
I'll tell you. I'll tell you the truth.

Gittes:
Good. What's her name?

Mrs. Mulwray:
Katherine.

Gittes:
Katherine who?

Mrs. Mulwray:
She's my daughter.

[Gittes slaps Mulwray.]

Gittes:
I said I want the truth.

Mrs. Mulwray:
She's my sister.

[He slaps her again.]

Mrs. Mulwray:
She's my daughter.

[Another slap.]

Mrs. Mulwray:
My sister, my daughter.

[Two more slaps.]

Gittes:
I said I want the truth!

Mrs. Mulwray:
She's my sister and my daughter!...My father and I - understand? Or is it too tough for you?

Gittes:
He raped you?
