Gilda !

- Mies vaiko nainen? Gilda uteli. . .


 
 
Johnny: Well, just a few weeks ago, we drank a toast to the three of us.
Gilda: Well, who was the third one then? Should I be jealous?
Mundson: Hardly darling. Just a friend of mine.
Gilda: Is it a 'him' or a 'her'?
Mundson: That's a very interesting question. What do you think, Johnny?
Johnny: A 'her.'
Gilda: Oh! 
Mundson: Why that conclusion?

Farrell explains how the dagger could be compared to a woman, deceitful in character: "Because it looks like one thing, and then right in front of your eyes, it becomes another thing." Mundson believes that due to Johnny's painful past experiences with women who have rejected him, he hasn't "much faith in the stability of women....One wonders who the woman was who brought our Johnny to this pretty pass, doesn't one, Gilda?" Gilda suggests a solution: "Let's hate her. Shall we, Ballin?"
