Harry's Speech on the Ferris Wheel, Explained：get rid of
High on the Prater wheel, the supposedly dead Harry Lime reveals himself and shows no concern that Anna has been arrested. He points at the people below: "Would you really feel any pity if one of those dots stopped moving forever?" When Holly threatens him, Harry answers that he carries a gun.
あらすじ
On the great wheel at the Prater, Holly Martins meets Harry Lime, who is alive and entirely unbothered that Anna has been arrested and may be handed to the Russians. Harry asks whom Holly told, dismisses his answers as unwise, and defends himself with the image of the people below as dots that can be spent. Holly tells him his money will be no use in jail.

What's really going on
The scene is the film's moral centre, and it is built as a seduction that fails. Harry appears, charming and unrepentant, and answers every charge with a shrug: Anna's arrest is "Tough. Very tough." delivered with a smile. Then he makes his famous argument, looking down at the people on the streets and turning them into arithmetic: "Would you really feel any pity if one of those dots stopped moving forever?" The horror of the speech is its calm, and its logic is the logic of a man who has already stopped seeing other people as people. Holly's reply restates the ordinary moral fact Harry has abandoned — money will not help him in jail — and Harry's answer, that there is no proof except Holly, turns the friendship into a threat. The last exchange, about the gun and the bullet wound, ends the charm completely.
Theme
BetrayalHarry betrays Anna's safety without a flicker, then turns on his oldest friend and makes clear he would have him killed.
CorruptionThe famous speech converts human lives into dots and pounds, which is exactly how Harry justifies the deaths he profits from.

発音のポイント
- a lot on — Run a lot on together as one sound.
- one of those — Link one and of so it sounds like one-ov.
- bullet wound — The t in bullet often drops before wound.
Would you really feel any pity if one of those dots stopped moving forever?Harry's central argument: from a distance, human lives are only dots, and sentiment for them is something he cannot feel or understand.
The world doesn't make any heroes...His claim that heroism is a fiction invented by stories, used to excuse his own refusal to take any moral risk.
A lot of good your money will do you in jail.Holly's flat answer to Harry's arithmetic: whatever the money buys, it cannot buy freedom once he is caught.
You don't care anything at all about Anna, do you?Holly names the real charge: Harry has not asked about Anna except to shrug, which shows how little he cares for anyone.
I don't think they'd look for a bullet wound after you hit that ground.The threat at the end of the scene: Holly implies that if Harry kills him, a fall will hide the shot.
このシーンについての質問
Why does Harry say Anna's arrest is tough?
Because he does not intend to help her. He treats her danger as bad luck and refuses to act, even though she is being handed over to the Russians.
What does Harry's speech about the dots mean?
It is his defence of his crimes. Looking down at the people below, he argues that a single death among so many causes no real grief, and asks how many Holly would sacrifice for money.
What does "income tax" have to do with Harry's offer?
It is his dark joke. He says the money from his racket is free of income tax, as if tax relief justified the deaths that produce it.
Why does Holly mention the gun and the fall?
To warn Harry. Harry has said he would be easy to get rid of, and Holly replies that a bullet wound would be missed after a fall from the wheel.
Why does Harry distrust Holly now?
Because Holly told the police and Anna that Harry was alive. Harry calls it unwise, and it turns the meeting into a threat between two old friends.
