Walter Finch Monologues

You have no evidence I killed Kay. You only know because I told you what I saw.

Kay called and said she and Randy had had a fight. She wanted to come over and talk, meet me at her place. She comes over, she’s distraught, a little drunk. She starts telling me how Randy and Tanya were carrying on. I only wanted to comfort her, hold her… I kissed her and… got a little exited… and then… she started laughing at me. She didn’t stop laughing. Did you ever have someone laugh at you, Will? You know, when you’re really vulnerable, laughing their ass off at you? Someone you thought respected you? Ever have that happen, Will? I just wanted to stop her laughing that’s all. And then you know, I hit her. A couple of times, just to stop her. Let her know, a little respect. Randy did it all the time, I think she even liked it when he did it. I mean she never blamed him, she never wanted to leave him. But now I do it, she starts screaming… she wouldn’t stop. She’s terrified, she’s screaming her head off, I put my hand over her mouth. And then I get really scared, I mean, I’m scared shitless, more scared than I’ve ever been. And I’m more scared than her, and then… everything’s clear. There’s no turning back. After that, I was calm. Real calm. You and I share a secret. We know how easy it is to kill someone. That ultimate taboo, it doesn’t exist outside our minds. I didn’t murder her. I killed her. But it just ended up that way.

You forgot the wild card, Will.

You’re a good man. I know that. Even if you’ve forgotten it.

You and I share a secret. We know how easy it is to kill someone. That ultimate taboo. It doesn’t exist outside our own minds.

I didn’t murder her. I killed her, but it just ended up that way.

Must be hard to concentrate on this case after 3 days without sleep.
