A Dangerous Choice in Life and Death

The Nature of Conscience and Existence
Jonathan Trevanny
I know I should thank you, because I wouldn't be alive now if you hadn't helped me.... but I can't. I can't say thank you. I don't know anything about you. Who are you?
[crying]
Tom Ripley
I'm a creation. A gifted improviser. I lack your conscience and, when I was young, that troubled me. It no longer does. I don't worry about being caught because I don't think anyone is watching. The world is not a poorer place because those people are dead — it's not. It's one less car on the road, a little less noise and menace. You were brave today. You'll go home and put some money away for your family. That's all.
Jonathan Trevanny
If you "lack my conscience," then why did you help me on the train?
Tom Ripley
I don't know, but it doesn't surprise me. If there's one thing I know, it's that we're constantly being born.
[smiles]
Jonathan Trevanny
But why me? Why did you pick me?
Tom Ripley
Partly because you could. Partly because you insulted me. But mostly because that's the game. We need to catch this flight. Shall we?
[checks watch]

Emotions and Orders in a High-Stakes Situation
Niles York
I'm sorry to hear about Goldberg. I never knew the man, but I know how integral he was to your team.
Lucas
What possible understanding can a man like you know about that? He was more than just a part of my team. He was family.
Niles
Hmm. Just to be clear, our deal still stands. Yes? Now, don't let your emotions cloud your judgment. 14K will win tomorrow. You're gonna stall out. Officially, mechanical failure resulted in your loss. I don't want it to look like you were beat. Can't damage your rep now, can we? Are we clear? When I ask you a question, you answer me. And when I give you an order, I expect to be obeyed. Do you understand?
[strikes Lucas in the face when he doesn't answer him]
Lucas
No. Not really.
Niles
Maybe you'll understand this. Now get these foolish thoughts of winning out of your head. You will lose tomorrow, or so help me God, I will put you in the deepest, darkest cell I can find. And while you're down there, crying about that dead spic, just imagine what I'll be doing to your girlfriend.
[violently punches Lucas in the stomach]
Lucas
Bad idea.
Niles
What are you gonna do? Threaten to kill me?
Lucas
No. No, Niles. Because that would be letting you off too easy.
Niles
You can live tomorrow, but you can't win.
Lucas
Maybe. Guess you'll just have to tune in... like everybody else.
Niles
That is exactly what I intend to do.

Consequences of Past Actions and Self-Perception
Jonathan Trevanny
Are we going to get away with it?
Tom Ripley
Why not?

Tom Ripley
You know why you got caught?
Jonathan Trevanny
Why?
Tom Ripley
Because you didn't think of just killing your teachers.

Discussion of a Failed Assassination
Jonathan Trevanny
One of them's still alive.
Tom Ripley
How do you know?
Jonathan Trevanny
Well, I heard it on the world news.
Tom Ripley
Jesus. I always figured you for a talk radio man. Okay, well, I guess I didn't strangle him long enough. It's not like a garrote comes with a manual.
Jonathan Trevanny
Ah, one of them got a very, very good look at me.
Tom Ripley
Jonathan, that's the first rule of the game. Don't ever worry about anything you can't control, ever. Anyway, I don't think they can trace us here and if they get close, I'll let you know.
Jonathan Trevanny
What about my family? I'm just worried about my family.
Tom Ripley
Well, don't worry. If they come for anyone, they'll come for me. I think these Balkan types tend to take strangling quite personally.
