ALICE (cont'd)
When I first heard that, I thought, that’s evil at its most pure. Something that drags you in, crushes you, makes you nothing. (Off Luther’s reaction) What’s wrong? Don’t you believe in evil? LUTHER I have to. I’ve seen it. ALICE Ah. Henry Madsen. LUTHER Him. Others like him. ALICE Me? LUTHER Conceivably. ALICE What’s happening to your marriage? (off his reaction) Last time I saw you, there was a ring. Today: no ring. Is someone else involved? LUTHER That’s not what I’m here to discuss. ALICE Is he handsome? LUTHER If you like that sort of thing. ALICE Are you in pain? LUTHER You don’t understand love, Alice. It’s not your fault. You can mimic it, you can recognise it in others - but you can never understand it. ALICE Did you come here for sex? LUTHER No. ALICE Because you’d be surprised by how many men do. Do you think they have any idea how fatuous they look?
