Gaslight/Awesome

"Paula Alquist Anton: It isn't here, you must have dreamed you put it there. Are you suggesting that this is a knife I hold in my hand? Have you gone mad, my husband? Yes, that's it.
 * At the end of Gaslight, when Paula finally confronts her husband

[throws the knife away]

I am mad. I'm always losing things and hiding things and I can never find them, I don't know where I've put them. If I were not mad, I could have helped you. Whatever you had done, I could have pitied and protected you. But because I am mad, I hate you. Because I am mad, I have betrayed you. And because I'm mad, I'm rejoicing in my heart, without a shred of pity, without a shred of regret, watching you go with glory in my heart!"


 * The Academy agreed--Ingrid Bergman won an Oscar that year for the role.
