Movie Dialogue Sample
You are underbred, sir,
and you are no good match for my sister.
358
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,998
There is bad blood in you, vulgar blood.
359
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:11,352
I do not accept either "bad" or "vulgar".
360
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:16,838
I am aware that I'm no good match, and
that I have few prospects and no future.
361
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,635
Your father and Eugenia have done me
the kindness of overlooking that,
362
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,433
and I hope you may come
to accept their decision.
363
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:28,236
You should rather wish to fight me.
I insulted you.
364
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:33,797
You are a miserable creature
without breeding or courage.
365
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,957
You should stand up, sir, and face me.
366
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,916
I think not.
367
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,753
As for breeding, I count my father
as a kind man, an honest man,
368
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,235
and I know no other
good reason for respect.
369
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,956
As for courage, I think I may claim that to
have lived for ten years on the Amazons,
370
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,117
to have survived murder plots,
snakes, shipwreck,
371
00:39:56,240 --> 00:39:58,834
15 days on a lifeboat in the mid-Atlantic,
372
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:03,954
reasonably compares with driving a poor
horse into a house through a window.
373
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,275
I think I know what true courage is.
374
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:10,109
It does not consist in fisticuffs
as a response to an insult.
375
00:40:10,240 --> 00:40:14,119
Well said, William Adamson.
Well said, my fellow bridegroom.
376
00:40:14,240 --> 00:40:16,834
You shall not have her! Do you hear?
377
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:18,916
She is not for such as you.
378
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,555
Please do not breathe in my face.
You resemble an angry dragon.
379
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,636
Stand up.
380
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:29,518
You shall not provoke me into disgracing
a house and a family I hope to belong to.
381
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,073
Stand up.
382
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,670
In the Amazons, young men
who make themselves stupid with spirits
383
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,030
often kill each other inadvertently.
384
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,071
I should not care if you were killed.
385
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:44,638
Eugenia might care very deeply if I were.
She's already lost one hus...
386
00:40:56,240 --> 00:41:01,951
I beg you not to...
make too much of Edgar.
387
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:08,474
He is wild in his cups
and he is quiet after.
388
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:14,192
He often does not remember
what has passed.
389
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,278
It was the drink insulted you.
390
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,710
I'm happy to accept such an explanation.
391
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,308
Good man, fellow bridegroom.
392
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,396
Civilised man.
393
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:31,069
We are not armed warriors now, are we?
394
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:35,557
Civilised men who stay seated
as we should, we are.
395
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,596
I admire you, William.
396
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,190
Edgar is... an anachronism.
397
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:50,353
You didn't think I knew that word,
I'll be bound.
398
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,914
On the contrary.
399
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,554
Thank you for your kindness.
400
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,110
William.
401
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:16,037
We are both men of the outdoors.
We have that in common, do we not?
402
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,270
We do.
403
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:24,793
And I hope that in time we may come
to find other common interests.
404
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,514
Indeed. I'm sure we will.
405
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,435
Good night, Edgar.
406
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,755
Good night, William.
407
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,392
A present from Miss Eugenia, sir.
408
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:04,996
Well?
409
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,154
Here I am. You see?
410
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,471
Here we are.
411
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:19,955
I cannot believe my own happiness.
412
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:27,638
Well, you will catch cold if you cannot
believe it enough to come in.
413
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:02,350
I've loved you
from the first moment that I saw you.
414
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,155
I don't want to hurt you.
415
00:47:29,240 --> 00:47:31,595
Oh, you're honey.
416
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,196
Sweet as honey.
417
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,874
<i>We're going to be
so happy together.</i>
418
00:49:25,720 --> 00:49:27,995
- Good morning.
- Morning.
419
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,200
- Hope I don't disturb you.
- By no means.
420
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:35,598
I'm conducting experiments.
