Vertigo - Taking Responsibility and Departing Forever
Gavin Elster:
Sorry Scottie, that was rotten. He had no right to speak to you like that. It was my responsibility. I shouldn't have got you involved. No, there's nothing you have to say to me. I'm getting out, Scottie. For good. I can't stay here. I'm going to wind up her affairs, and mine, and get away as far as I can. Europe perhaps. I probably never will come back. Goodbye, Scottie. If there's anything I can do for you before I go? There's no way for them to understand. You and I know who killed Madeleine.

Vertigo - Jewelry and Identity in Vertigo
Gavin Elster:
My wife Madeleine has several pieces of jewelry that belonged to Carlotta. She inherited them. Never wore them, they were too old-fashioned, until now. Now when she's alone, she takes them out and looks at them, handles them gently, curiously. Puts them on and stares at herself in the mirror. Then goes into that other world, is someone else again.

Vertigo - Nostalgia for San Francisco's Lost Vibrancy
Gavin Elster:
The things that spell San Francisco to me are disappearing fast. I should have liked to have lived here then. Color, excitement, power, freedom.
