HOW AM I TO LOVE MY FATHER IF I DON'T KNOW HIM? ALL CHILDREN LOVE THEIR PARENTS. IS WUTHERING HEIGHTS AS PLEASANT A PLACE AS THRUSHCROSS GRANGE? IS IT NOT SO BURIED IN TREES, AND IT IS NOT QUITE SO LARGE, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE COUNTRY BEAUTIFULLY ALL ROUND. BE QUIET NOW, NO MORE QUESTIONS. YOU'RE ALREADY LOOKING SO PALE.

MAN

LOOKS WORSE THAN YOU. DO YOU KNOW ME? NO. WELL, YOUR MOTHER WAS A WICKED SLUT TO KEEP YOU IN IGNORANCE OF THE SORT OF FATHER YOU POSSESSED. HOW DARE YOU? I SHALL CARRY HIM. GIVE OVER. YOU HAVE HARDLY THE STRENGTH TO CARRY YOURSELF. DON'T LEAVE ME. I'LL NOT STAY HERE. I CAN'T STAY HERE. DON'T LEAVE ME, UNCLE EDGAR. YOU BEST BE KIND TO YOUR SON, ELSE, AS GOD IS MY WITNESS, I SHALL FIND A WAY OF HURTING YOU. I SHALL BE VERY KIND TO HIM. YOU NEEDN'T FEAR.

CATHERINE

WHY COULD HE NOT STAY JUST ONE NIGHT, JUST LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET TO KNOW HIM BETTER? BECAUSE I DO NOT THINK THAT IS WHAT HIS FATHER WOULD WISH FOR HIM, CATHERINE. IS HE FAR AWAY? EXCEEDING FAR.

NELLY

YOUR FATHER TRAVELED ALL NIGHT.

EDGAR

WHEN LINTON'S MOTHER DIED, I WANTED NOTHING MORE THAN TO HAVE HIM HERE WITH US, BUT THAT IS SIMPLY NOT POSSIBLE. WE WILL HAVE TO REMAIN AS WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN-- JUST YOU AND ME, THE TWO OF US, AND NELLY HERE. ALL I WANTED WAS A FRIEND, BUT YOU TOOK HIM AWAY, AND YOU WILL NOT TELL ME WHY, SO IT IS NOT LIKE IT ALWAYS WAS. IT CAN NEVER BE LIKE THAT ANYMORE.

WHY DOES HIS SADNESS AT MOTHER'S DEATH ALWAYS WEAR ON HIS HAPPINESS THAT I WAS BORN? NOW, NOW, CHICK. WHAT SHALL WE DO TO CHEER YOU UP? I KNOW WHERE I WISH TO GO, WHERE A COLONY OF MOOR GAME HAS SETTLED. THAT MUST BE A GOOD DISTANCE UP. I'M NOT SO SURE. PLEASE, NELLY. YOU DID ASK ME, AND IT IS MY BIRTHDAY. ALL RIGHT, BUT WE MUST BE BACK WITHIN THE HOUR. WHERE ARE THEY, MISS CATHERINE? WE MUST GO BACK. A LITTLE FURTHER, ONLY A LITTLE FURTHER, ELLEN. WE MUST GO BACK. WE REALLY MUST GO BACK.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, GIRL? I WAS SEARCHING FOR GROUSE EGGS. ON MY LAND? THAT WOULD BE POACHING. PAPA SAID THERE WERE QUANTITIES ON THE MOOR, AND I WOULD NEVER HAVE TAKEN ANY. I JUST WISHED TO SEE THEM. AND PAPA IS MR. LINTON OF THRUSHCROSS GRANGE, IS HE NOT? WHO ARE YOU? YOU DON'T KNOW ME? OF COURSE I DON'T. YET I KNOW YOU, CATHERINE. YOU MAY KNOW MY NAME, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW ME. I KNOW ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY. I WAS ACQUAINTED WITH YOUR MOTHER. I KNOW THAT TODAY IS THE ANNIVERSARY OF HER DEATH. OH, I SEE, AND YOU SAW ME AND RECOGNIZED MY MOTHER IN ME. NO. THERE IS NOTHING OF YOUR MOTHER IN YOU. WELL, HOW, THEN? COME AND MEET MY SON. YOU KNOW HIM ALREADY. HE WOULD HELP EXPLAIN EVERYTHING. KNOW HIM? HOW COULD I? COME TO MY HOUSE AND SEE, CHILD. HEH. I WILL COME, BUT I THINK YOU ARE MISTAKEN.

IF YOU HAVE ANY KISSES, CHILD, GIVE THEM TO LINTON. OH.

WE SHOULD GO, YOUNG LADY. YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE COME HERE. WHY, BECAUSE I WOULD DISCOVER THAT MY COUSIN SHOULD BE SO CLOSE? MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME, NELLY. YOUR OLD CHAIR STILL SITS THERE FOR YOU. YOU LIVED HERE, TOO? SHE DID INDEED, AND SHE RAISED YOUR MOTHER HERE... IS THIS TRUE, NELLY? AND SHE RAISED ME, ALSO, ALTHOUGH I DON'T KNOW IF NELLY LOOKS AT ME WITH PRIDE FOR THE JOB SHE DID. NOW, SON, HAVE YOU NOTHING YOU CAN GO AND SHOW YOUR COUSIN? TAKE HER TO THE STABLES TO SEE THE HORSES. WOULDN'T YOU RATHER SIT HERE? I LOVE BEING OUT OF DOORS. DON'T YOU? HARETON, COME HERE. YOU SHALL HAVE TO SETTLE FOR HARETON HERE. ISN'T HE A HANDSOME LAD? GO WITH HER AROUND THE FARM. BEHAVE LIKE A GENTLEMAN, MIND, AND DON'T STARE. THERE. NOW YOU HAVE A CHALLENGER FOR YOUR COUSIN'S HEART, SON. IT'S SOME DAMNABLE WRITING, BUT I CANNOT READ IT. PERHAPS I COULD HELP YOU TO READ IF YOUR MASTER WOULD ALLOW IT. MY MASTER? MY MASTER?

IS THAT WHY YOU LURED YOUNG CATHERINE HERE? I JUST WANT HER AND LINTON TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER. WHERE'S THE HARM OF IT? FROM NOW ON, YOU ARE TO AVOID HIS HOUSE AND HIS FAMILY. I KNOW THIS IS BECAUSE YOU DISLIKE MR. HEATHCLIFF. NO. IT IS BECAUSE HE DISLIKES ME AND IS A MOST DIABOLICAL MAN DELIGHTING TO WRONG AND RUIN THOSE HE HATES IF THEY GIVE HIM THE SLIGHTEST OPPORTUNITY. BUT MR. HEATHCLIFF WAS QUITE CORDIAL, FATHER, AND HE DIDN'T OBJECT TO OUR SEEING EACH OTHER. HE DETESTS YOU ON MY ACCOUNT. I AM CERTAIN OF THAT. YOU--YOU WILL LISTEN TO ME, AND YOU WILL OBEY ME. YOU WILL NOT VISIT WUTHERING HEIGH--

WELL, I TAKE IT FROM THIS TOUCHING SCENE THAT YOU HAVE MADE YOUR OFFER OF MARRIAGE AND YOUNG MISS LINTON IS EXPRESSING SOME MISGIVINGS. GIVE ME THAT KEY.

WHO WAS IT WHO TOLD THOSE BOYS FROM THE VILLAGE THESE WICKED THINGS, DO YOU SUPPOSE? YOU DO AGREE THAT THEY ARE WICKED THINGS TO SAY. THE BOY WAS ONLY REPEATING WHAT THE WHOLE VILLAGE IS SAYING. IS NO MAN ALLOWED TO ACT CHARITABLY IN THIS WORLD WITHOUT EVEN HIS OWN SON ASCRIBING THE BASEST MOTIVES FOR HIS ACTIONS? WE CANNOT ATTEND CHURCH WITHOUT FINGERS POINTING AND TONGUES WAGGING. FINE.

NO MATTER TO ME WHERE I AM AS LONG AS I HAVE THE GOOD BOOK TO GUIDE ME. OH, GOOD. I WAS WONDERING WHERE YOU WERE SKULKING OFF TO. IS THAT ANY WAY TO ADDRESS YOUR BROTHER? FROM NOW ON, YOU WILL KEEP COMPANY ONLY WITH THE SERVANTS. YOU WILL EARN YOUR KEEP BY LABORING OUT OF DOORS... IF YOU'RE SURE THAT'S WHAT FATHER WOULD HAVE WISHED. AND YOU WILL NEVER SPEAK TO ME OR THE MISTRESS UNLESS SPOKEN TO FIRST. IS THAT CLEAR? HOW CAN YOU SMILE? BECAUSE ONE DAY, I SHALL PAY BACK HINDLEY WITH PAIN AND ANGUISH. IS IT NOT FOR GOD TO PUNISH WICKED PEOPLE? NO, BECAUSE HE SHAN'T HAVE THE SATISFACTION THAT I SHALL. I DON'T CARE HOW LONG I HAVE TO WAIT. JUST HOPE HE DOESN'T DIE BEFORE ME. DON'T TALK IN SUCH A WAY, MY LOVE. NOW, WHEN I THINK OF REVENGE, I DON'T FEEL PAIN. WOULD YOU RATHER I FELT PAIN? NOW, YOU SAY YOUR PRAYERS, YOUNG MAN. HA HA! YOU ARE A SERVANT, AND YOU WILL SAY YOUR PRAYERS! YOU CAN BEAT ME TILL YOUR ARMS ACHE, JOSEPH. I WILL NOT SAY MY PRAYERS ON YOUR ORDERS OR THAT OF ANY MAN.

W--WELL, ISABELLA AND I WERE THINKING THAT, UH, SINCE YOU ARE FORBIDDEN FROM MOVING THAT PERHAPS SHE COULD PAINT YOUR PORTRAIT WHILE YOU SIT, AND WE COULD THINK OF NO END OF DISTRACTIONS. NO END OF DISTRACTIONS? HOW LOVELY. YOU KNOW, UM... IF YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT OUR KINDNESS, THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE BETRAYING YOUR OWN NATURE OR THAT OF YOUR FRIEND, AND YOU HAVE HAD A TERRIBLE SHOCK, AND YOU'VE LOST A LOT OF BLOOD, AND I KNOW YOUR FATHER DIED RECENTLY, SO ALL IN ALL, YOU SEEM LIKE A YOUNG LADY WHO MIGHT NOT HAVE HAD A LOT OF CARE IN HER LIFE OF LATE, SO, AS STIFF AND AS POMPOUS AS ISABELLA AND I MIGHT SEEM, COMPARED WITH-- IF YOU WOULD JUST LET US LOOK AFTER YOU, WOULD THAT REALLY BE SUCH A BAD THING?

THE LINTONS'LL BLAME YOU, OF COURSE, FOR HER HEATHEN UPBRINGING AND HER WILD WAYS. I'M SURE THEY WILL, AND I'M SURE THE BROTHER WILL PAY ME A VISIT TO LECTURE ME ON MY BROTHERLY CARELESSNESS. SO WHY ARE YOU LOOKING SO PLEASED WITH YOURSELF? BECAUSE AS LONG AS SHE'S THERE, MORE LIKELY SHE WILL COME UNDER SOME CIVILIZING INFLUENCE.

IS THAT WHY YOU SCOWL AT ME? I'VE NOT FORGOTTEN SOMEONE WHO LOOKED LIKE YOU, SOMEONE YOU NO LONGER SEEM TO BE. DO NOT TEASE ME, MY LOVE. SHAKE HANDS, HEATHCLIFF, ONCE IN A WAY THAT IS PERMITTED. PERHAPS YOU MAY LEARN FROM CATHY'S EXAMPLE. NOT STAND HERE TO BE LAUGHED AT. WHY ARE YOU REFUSING TO SEE ME? BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW YOU. HINDLEY IS RIGHT. THAT LITTLE SAVAGE IS LOST, AND IT WAS HER THAT I LOVED. I KNOW YOU, AND I LOVE YOU. IN THE WAY A MISTRESS LOVES A SERVANT. NO. COME AWAY WITH ME, THEN, AS WE PLANNED. THERE, THE PAUSE THAT BETRAYS YOU. I'M FRIGHTENED. OF WHAT, OF ME OR POVERTY? YOU'RE ASKING ME TO RISK MY REPUTATION. ONCE A WOMAN'S REPUTATION IS GONE, SHE HAS NOTHING. THE OLD CATHY WOULD NEVER HAVE SAID SUCH A THING. THE OLD CATHY DIDN'T KNOW THE WORLD, AND HOW IT REGARDED US. I TRIED TO LEAVE YOU, BUT YOUR LOVE HOLDS ME HERE. NOW, IF YOU MEAN TO BE INDIFFERENT TO ME, AT LEAST DO ME THE FAVOR OF RELEASING ME. I'M AS TRAPPED AS YOU ARE. EXCEPT YOUR CAGE IS MORE GILDED THAN MINE. WHY DON'T YOU DRESS UP SMART BEFORE CATHY'S GUESTS ARRIVE? MASTER SAYS THAT EVERYONE IS WELCOME. I DO NOT THINK THAT CATHY WILL WELCOME ME. IF I TELL YOU THAT SHE CRIES WHENEVER I TELL HER THAT YOU'RE NOT HERE-- I WOULD SAY I HAVE MORE REASON TO CRY THAN HER. IF YOU TRIED TO MEND YOUR APPEARANCE, THEN EDGAR LINTON SHALL LOOK QUITE A DOLL BESIDE YOU. AND HOW WILL I HAVE THE CHANCE OF EVER BEING AS RICH AS HE? NOW, DON'T YOU THINK YOURSELF RATHER HANDSOME? I KEPT SOME OF MR. EARNSHAW'S BEST SUITS WHEN HE DIED. I THINK THEY'D BE A GOOD FIT ON YOU. YOU WASH YOURSELF, AND I SHALL LAY ONE OUT ON YOUR BED, AND WHEN YOU COME BACK, SEE IF YOU DON'T MAKE ALL THE LADIES SWOON. THERE NOW, HINDLEY. DID I NOT TELL YOU MY DRESS WOULD LOOK WONDERFUL ON CATHY? YOU ARE MAKING ME VERY PROUD, CATHY, VERY PROUD INDEED. THINK I CAN HEAR THEM ARRIVING. WE'RE NOT TO RUN! HUSH, DARLING. SHE'S A SPIRITED GIRL, AND IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO TAME HER COMPLETELY. NOW REMEMBER, HEATHCLIFF, SHOW AN AMIABLE HUMOR. SPLENDID THAT YOU COULD COME. IT'S NOT AS GRAND AS THE GRANGE, OF COURSE, BUT PLEASE-- IT'S CHARMING. I'M NOT YOUR SERVANT. OH, TO THE STABLE, YOU VAGABOND. I AM NOT YOUR SERVANT. DON'T STARE AT ME AS THOUGH I'M NOTHING. YOU'VE REALLY BEEN COMBING YOUR PRETTY CURLS, HAVE YOU?

I BELIEVE YOU ARE FAR TOO KIND TO WISH ME MISERABLE FOR YOU. IF THAT'S YOU, NELLY, THEN I'M SORRY FOR SCOLDING YOU. I WISH NOW THAT YOU'D STAYED. IT'S NOT NELLY. 'TIS I. WHY, CATHY, WHAT IS IT? WHAT'S THE MATTER? EDGAR LINTON'S ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM. AND HAVE YOU GIVEN HIM YOUR ANSWER? BUT YOU DID NOT SAY NO. AND HAVE YOU CONSIDERED HOW YOU WILL BEAR SEPARATION FROM ME AND HOW I WILL BE QUITE DESERTED IN THE WORLD WITHOUT YOU? DID YOU CONSIDER THAT? ARE YOU QUITE DESERTED? WE SEPARATED? WHO IS TO SEPARATE US, PRAY? YOU WILL BE MRS. LINTON. YES, AND AS MRS. LINTON, I CAN AID YOU TO RISE AND PLACE YOU OUT OF MY BROTHER'S POWER. WITH YOUR HUSBAND'S MONEY, YOU WILL RESCUE ME. DO YOU THINK I CAN ENDURE SUCH A THING? JUST-- NO. YOU WILL BE MRS. LINTON.

DO YOU LOVE MR. EDGAR? OF COURSE I DO. WHY DO YOU LOVE HIM? I DO. ISN'T THAT SUFFICIENT? BY NO MEANS. YOU MUST SAY WHY. WELL, BECAUSE HE'S HANDSOME AND PLEASANT TO BE WITH. THAT'S BAD. I SHALL BE RICH. I'LL BE THE GREATEST WOMAN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. BAD STILL. HOWEVER, I SUPPOSE YOUR BROTHER WILL BE PLEASED. EDGAR LINTON IS A GOOD MAN, AND HE WILL SAVE YOU. 'TIS NEITHER PRACTICAL NOR DESIRABLE FOR YOU TO MARRY HEATHCLIFF, AND IF YOU LOVE EDGAR AND EDGAR LOVES YOU... WHERE IS THE OBSTACLE?

CATHY

NELLY, MY LOVE FOR EDGAR IS LIKE THE FOLIAGE IN THE WOODS. TIME WILL CHANGE IT, I'M WELL-AWARE. MY LOVE FOR HEATHCLIFF RESEMBLES THE ETERNAL ROCKS BENEATH. MY GREAT MISERIES IN THIS WORLD HAVE BEEN HEATHCLIFF'S MISERIES. IF ALL ELSE PERISHED AND HE REMAINED, I SHOULD STILL CONTINUE TO BE. NELLY, I AM HEATHCLIFF... NOT AS A PLEASURE, BUT AS MY OWN BEING. I CANNOT THINK OF OUR SEPARATION. I WILL NEVER TALK OF OUR SEPARATION AGAIN. HEY!

HINDLEY

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? I NEED YOU TO TAKE THIS AND PROMISE ME YOU WON'T TELL YOUR HUSBAND, ELSE HE'LL THROTTLE ME. WHO WILL? UH, HE DID NOT GIVE A NAME. THE MAN WHO GAVE YOU THIS NOTE, DID HE SAY ANYTHING ELSE? NO. HE JUST TOLD ME TO PROMISE YOU WON'T TELL YOUR HUSBAND. WHERE DID YOU MEET HIM? WHERE? YOU ALL RIGHT, MY DARLING? WHO WAS THAT? YOU-- YOU'RE TREMBLING. IT WAS JUST A BOY SPYING ON THE CELEBRATIONS. IT REMINDED ME OF WHEN I FIRST LOOKED IN ON YOU. OF COURSE, AND YOU WERE WITH THAT GYPSY WHO RAN AWAY. HEATHCLIFF. THAT'S RIGHT-- HEATHCLIFF.

WELL, WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT-- A JACK STRAIGHTAWAY. THAT'S, UH, 3 POINTS TO ME. I BEG. I BEG. BEGS. TWO FOR YOU. WHAT ARE THE CHANCE OF ANOTHER JACK TURNING UP LIKE THAT, MR. HINDLEY? I WOULD SAY THE CHANCES ARE VERY HIGH INDEED IF THE MAN DEALING THE CARDS IS A CHEATING BLACKGUARD OF THE LOWEST ORDER. I DON'T KNOW YOU, SIR, BUT, AS YOU ARE A GENTLEMAN, I'LL LET YOU APOLOGIZE FOR THAT REMARK AND LEAVE THIS PLACE UNSCATHED. I MAY BE A GENTLEMAN NOW, BUT I'VE JUST SPENT THE LAST 3 YEARS IN THE COMPANY OF MEN LOWER THAN YOU. I KNOW YOU. DON'T I KNOW YOU? I DEFY YOU TO REPEAT THAT ALLEGATION, SIR. I DEFY YOU TO SPEAK TO YOUR NEW LANDLORD IN SUCH A WAY. LANDLORD. THAT'S NOT RIGHT, SIR. DO YOU NOT LIVE IN PENISTONE COTTAGES LIKE ALL THE OTHER MILL WORKERS? I JUST BOUGHT THE LEASE OF THOSE COTTAGES ONLY THIS MORNING, AND I MUST WARN YOU, I DO NOT RELENT IN EXACTING MY DUE FROM ANYONE. HAPPEN I W--I WAS JUST TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE FACT THAT MR. HINDLEY WERE TAKEN TO DRINK, SIR. KEEP IT. KEEP IT. YOU MAY LIE TO MR. HINDLEY TILL HE GOES TO HELL, BUT YOU DO NOT LIE TO ME. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? YES, SIR. AH!
