"I suppose I told you to steal that broach." "Yes, practically." "Ever since we've been married, always griping, never satisfied." "What do you expect me to do?" "Here." "Here." "There." "Now it's yours." "There." "Now maybe you can get everything you want you'll stop yapping." "This is what I wanted?" "This?" "Trapped like, like animals in a filthy stinking room." "Look at it." "And look at you, a real nothing." "Everything I want?" "Why this piece of junk wouldn't by me a cup of coffee." "It's as famous as you are." "Not if we've got the stone." "How?" "With my nail file." "You haven't any tools." "I'll buy tools." "When?" "Today?" "Tomorrow?" "Next year?" "I will as soon as things quiet down." "So that's it." "When things quiet down." "That'll be never." "Listen to me Harry Mason, I've wasted six years of my life on you and I'm not going to waste another minute." "What are-- what are you doing?" "I'm finished." "Oh no." "No." "Carlotta please, you can't leave me." "Oh can't I?" "No." "Please listen to me, I'll sell it." "We'll leave the country." "We'll go away somewhere." "South America." "Sell it?" "Are you crazy?" "No, no, there are places, people who will buy these kinds of things, no questions asked." "Carlotta." "A fence?" "Yes, yes, a fence." "Well how would you know how to get to someone like this?" "I will Carlotta." "I will." "I promise you, just give me more time." "You haven't even got nerve enough to leave this room." "I will." "I will as soon as things quiet down." "I promise you." "Oh so that's it." "When things quiet down." "All right Harry, I'll give you 24 hours to sell that thing." "24 hours?" "Yes." "If you haven't sold it by then, well" "Where are you going?" "To the movies." "I'll see you later Harry." "[LAUGHTER]" "Now what?" "HARRY MASON:" "I've got nowhere to go, nowhere to turn." "I've just about reached my end." "Uh-huh." "HARRY MASON:" "And Carlotta's given me 24 hours." "She's packing." "She's going to leave me in the morning." "After that, it's either the police or-- or-- strange I should be telling you all these things." "I don't understand why I came here in the first place." "I haven't been out of that room, dared to leave it in five days." "But you did today." "You came to see me because you're in trouble." "Yeah." "Trouble." "Yes." "I'm sure that I can help you." "Sit down Hal." "My boy, you've made a number of great mistakes in your lifetime." "I know that if you left this office at this moment, you'd continue to make even graver mistakes, perhaps the most serious mistake a man can make." "What are you driving at?" "Simply this." "The life you've been living is all used up Harold." "You've made a mess of things and there's no way out." "There's one way." "No Harold, two ways." "Two ways?" "You may have another chance." "Another chance?" "Yes." "How?" "And I can give it to you." "How?" "With the help of that." "What is it?" "It's a machine of my own invention." "It can give you another chance." "What?" "I don't understand." "Certainly you've heard of amnesia." "Yes, yes, yes." "You mean where you forget the past." "Exactly." "With this machine I'm able to control the degree of forgetfulness." "I can erase from the mind only those things that I wish to erase, a man's conscience, his associates, friends." "These things I can erase, but his ability to think, to work, to construct, to earn a living, his talents, these things remain." "You're not serious." "Absolutely serious." "After my treatment you awake." "You find yourself in a room 1,000 miles from here and back seven years in time." "You'll have absolutely no remembrance of these past seven years." "The slate will be clean." "You'll be able to start a new life." "Think of it Harold." "You have another chance to try life over again." "Oh, but that's not possible." "But it is possible." "But the police." "My face, it won't change." "It'll be the same." "Yes, but seven years ago none of these things have happened." "The only thing that could bother you would be your conscience and the memory of what you had done." "But not you because your conscience and your memory will be wiped out, eradicated." "Another chance." "A new life." "I'm sure I'd make a better job of it this time." "Have you done this before?" "Many times." "I've helped many people." "Why?" "Because it's my job." "Yes." "Well I, I have nothing." "I can't pay you anything." "You won't have any use for this in your new life." "Oh." "Will it hurt me?" "Not a bit." "You won't feel a thing." "Sit down." "In a moment you'll be asleep, and when you awaken" "What now?" "You mean you want me to do it now?" "Of course." "You haven't a moment to lose." "Think Harold of the terrible things that await you outside that door." "Oh no." "No, I couldn't stand that." "No, not now, not if there's another way out." "Sit down Harold." "There we are." "Are you ready to start your journey?" "Yes." "Ready." "Splendid." "[CHUCKLE] Bon voyage my boy, and good luck in your new life." "[LAUGHTER]" "Name, Jack Marshall." "Jack Marshall?" "Address, [INAUDIBLE] Chicago, Illinois." "Chicago?" "Chicago." "Your name is Jack Marshall." "Start life from this point." "This is what you wanted." "Jack Marshall." "Chicago." "It's March, 1946."

"I can only help my clients to postpone their problems." "Postpone?" "We can't hope to go back into the past and expect to change." "Why not?" "Because we are what we are my boy."
