Aaron:
Mr. Vail, will you t-tell Miss Venable I'm sorry? Tell her I hope her neck is OK.

[Martin walks away and comes back realizing what Aaron said]

Martin:
What did you just say?

Aaron:
What?

Martin:
You told me you don't remember. You black out. So how do you know about her neck?

Aaron:
[pauses and stammers, then starts clapping] Well... good for you, Marty. I was gonna let it go. You were looking so happy just now, I was thinking "hmmmm'? To tell you the truth, I'm glad you figured it. 'Cause I have been dyin' to tell you! I just didn't know who you'd wanna hear it from. Aaron or Roy or Roy or Aaron. Well I'll let you on a lil' secret, a client-attorney kind of secret. It don't matter who you hear it from, it's the same story! [stammering] I j-j-just had to kill Linda, Mr. Vail, that c*nt just got what she deserved. But... [speaking normally] cuttin' up that son of a b*tch Rushman? That was just a f***in' work of art! [Laughs]

Martin:
[stunned] You're good. You are really good.

Aaron:
Yeah, I did get caught though, didn't I?

Marty:
So there never...there never was a Roy?

Aaron:
Jesus Christ, Marty. If that's what you think, I'm disappointed in you. There never was an Aaron, counselor. [winks] Come on, I thought you had it figured there at the end. The way you put me on the stand like that, that was brilliant. The whole "act-like-a-man" thing. I knew what you wanted. It was like we were dancing, Marty!

Martin:
[walking away] Guard!

Aaron:
Don't be like that, Marty. We did it, man! We f***ing did it! We're a great team, you and me. You think I could've done this without you? [Martin continues walking out] You're feeling angry because you started to care about old Aaron, but... love hurts, Marty! What can I say? I'm just kidding, bud! I didn't mean to hurt your feelings! What else was I supposed to do?! You'll thank me down the road, 'cause this'll toughen you up, Martin Vail! You hear me? That's a promise!
