Looking back, don't you think it would have been better for everyone if they'd just hung us?Lord Longford: Certainly not! Only God has the right to take human life.Myra Hindley: Would He not have wanted to give the families that comfort?Lord Longford: [staring off into space] None of us knows the true purpose of our lives on earth... Besides, [gallant again] had you been hanged, I would never have had the privilege of getting to know you!Myra Hindley: [gazes at him with sadness in her eyes] You really believe that, don't you? [he smiles at her shyly, and says nothing]Myra Hindley: Must be a rather nice place to be.Lord Longford: [he glances around them] Where?Myra Hindley: Inside your head.Lord Longford: [grins awkwardly and wags his head from side to side as if to dismiss the thought] Oh! I'm not so sure about that!Myra Hindley: [taking another cigarette from her pack and pulling out her lighter] A fine pair we are, then. [long pan on the two chatting on their bench, so close they are almost touching. Credit sequence rolls]
