What's really going on
Phyllis comes to Walter's apartment and, between drinks, rewrites her past: she says she married her husband when he still had money and now hates him for being mean and for leaving everything to his daughter. The talk slides toward murder, and she tells him about the night she almost left the car running in the garage: "I thought what it would be like if I didn't switch it off." Walter does not flinch at the idea so much as at the risk. He tells her the office has a man named Keyes who would spot a monoxide job in minutes, and warns that "if there's a death mixed up in it, you haven't got a prayer." His refusal is not moral; it is professional. He is not saying killing is wrong, he is saying this plan would be caught, and the scene makes the difference between those two things the whole point.

このシーンについての質問
Why does Phyllis tell Walter her life story?
She wants him to see her as trapped and badly treated, so that helping her, even with murder, feels like sympathy rather than a crime.
Does Walter refuse to help because it is wrong?
No. He refuses because he thinks the scheme would fail. He says a man in his office named Keyes would spot it and that an insurer would trace the death to her.
What does Walter mean by a "monoxide job"?
He is talking about the garage plan Phyllis described, in which the car is left running so the husband dies of carbon monoxide and it looks like an accident.
Why does Phyllis mention her husband slapping her?
She lists his cruelty, including the slap, as reasons she has thought about his death, while insisting she never wanted to kill him.
What does Phyllis want from Walter in this scene?
She wants him to go along with the idea of killing her husband. She tells him about the garage night and then says she is not going to do it, testing whether he will take it from there.
