Louis Wain : [weeping] I have failed. I have failed her, Mr Rider.
Dan Rider : I don't think you've failed, Mr Wain, from what you've been saying. Why do you think Emily wanted you to keep painting pictures, Mr Wain?
Louis Wain : To help people. To show them.
Dan Rider : Perhaps. And there's no doubt that you've done that. But I have a rather different theory. I think she wanted you to keep painting so you would not be alone. When you paint, Mr Wain, you connect with other people. You give them a piece of yourself, but they are also connecting with you. And that electricity that you describe, that you felt in the presence of Emily. I'd call that love, Mr Wain. And that is still here.
