“And I turned on you, Frank.”
“They made you do it. You didn’t want to. They set a trap for you.”
“I wanted to do it. I hated you then.”
“That’s all right. It was for something I didn’t really do. You know how it was, now.”
“No. I hated you for something you really did.”

“I don’t hate you now. I hate that Sackett. And Katz. Why couldn’t they leave us alone? Why couldn’t they let us fight it out together? I wouldn’t have minded that. I wouldn’t have minded it even if it meant — you know. We would have had our love. And that’s all we ever had. But the very first time they started their meanness, you turned on me.”
“And you turned on me, don’t forget that.”
“That’s the awful part. I turned on you. We both turned on each other.”
