The story so far
Everything you need before watchingKitty Oppenheimer sits in the security hearing, and the prosecutor wants a yes: Did you have a Party card? She will not give him one. She cannot remember a card whose existence she has already disowned. When he says money went into Communist channels, she stops him on a preposition: through, not into. He tries to make her admit her husband still had anything to do with the Party. She refuses the phrase itself. Watch a witness dismantle a loaded question without raising her voice.

那张我已经忘了它存在过的卡?
用对方前提做定语从句,反问直接拆掉诱导。

Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passage'Cause I don't like your phrase. Because Robert never had anything to do with the Communist Party as such. I know he gave money to Spanish refugees. I know he took an intellectual interest in Communist ideas...
因为我不喜欢你的措辞。 因为罗伯特从来没有 和共产党本身有过关系。 我知道他给过西班牙难民钱。 我知道他在智识上关心过 共产主义思想……
