A Killer Walks (1952)

Laurence Harvey: Ned Harsten

Quotes 

• Ned Harsten : [holding a knife]  There's something I want to tell you, Joan.

  Joan Gray : Yes, Ned

  Ned Harsten : About last night, I... it's my farm, like I've always said.

  Joan Gray : What about the old lady?

  Ned Harsten : Gran's leaving with Frankie. She's too old. Neither of them are fit to run the farm anymore. Frankie walks in his sleep most of the time. They're both going. I give you my word.

• Ned Harsten : [drowsy]  What... what do you use that knife for? Put it away, Ned.

  Ned Harsten : Don't worry, Frankie. I'll see you do no harm.

  Frankie Harsten : H... H... Harm?

  Ned Harsten : Yes, Frankie. And you don't have to worry about Gran. She'll be alright. Death means nothing to old people. They've had everything they've wanted out of this world and they''re glad to get into the next. Did you hear me, Frankie? Can you hear me, Frankie?

  Ned Harsten : You know when I've finished here, there's something better waiting for them. They'll be no more pain; no more worry.

  Ned Harsten : Frankie, Come on, Frankie.

  Frankie Harsten : Don't, don't leave me, Ned. I've been dreaming.

  Ned Harsten : Don't worry. You'll be alright. I'll put you to bed first, then lock up.
