- Mr. Rochester: Sometimes I have the strangest feeling about you. Especially when you are near me as you are now. It feels as though I have a string - tied here under my left rib where my heart is, tightly knotted to you in a similar fashion. And when you go to Ireland, with all that distance between us, I'm afraid that this cord will be snapped, and I shall bleed inwardly. But you are sensible. You will forget me.
- Jane Eyre: No. I'll never forget. I wish I'd never been born.
- Mr. Rochester: Do you think me handsome?
- Jane Eyre: No sir.
- Mr. Rochester: [laughs] There is something very singular about you. You have the air of a little nun, Quaint, quiet, grave and simple. But when one asks you a question, or makes a remark to which you are obliged to answer, you rap out a reply which if not blunt is at least brusque. What do you mean by it?
- Jane Eyre: Sir, I was too plain. I beg your pardon. I only meant to reply that tastes differ. That beauty is of little consequence. Something of that sort.
- Mr. Rochester: You will endure my surliness without being hurt.
- Jane Eyre: I received a letter this morning. If you please, sir, I want leave of absence.
- Mr. Rochester: Why?
- Jane Eyre: Because of an old lady who is sick.
- Mr. Rochester: What old lady?
- Jane Eyre: Her name is Mrs. Reed. She is my aunt.
- Mr. Rochester: I thought you said you didn't have any relatives.
- Jane Eyre: None that would own me, sir. Mrs. Reed cast me off when I was a child.
- Mr. Rochester: Then why must you go rushing off to see her?
- Jane Eyre: She's dying. I can't ignore her dying wish.
- Mr. Rochester: [pause] You won't be persuaded to stay?
- Jane Eyre: No, sir. I will return to Thornfield.
- Mr. Rochester: So you and I must say goodbye?
- Jane Eyre: Yes, sir.
- Mr. Rochester: And how does one perform that ceremony? Teach me, I am not quite up to it.
- Jane Eyre: They say "farewell," or any other form they prefer.
- Mr. Rochester: Farewell, Miss Eyre. At the present. Is that all?
- Jane Eyre: Yes, sir.
- Mr. Rochester: Then we shake hands.
- [shakes her hand]
- Mr. Rochester: Remember your promise.
- Jane Eyre: [angry at Rochester] How can you be so stupid? How can you be so cruel? I may be poor and plain, but I'm not without feelings.
- Jane Eyre: We are truly devoted, my Edward and I; our hearts beat as one; our happiness is complete.
- Mr. Brocklehurst: And what is hell? Can you tell me that?
- Young Jane: A pit full of fire.
- Mr. Brocklehurst: And should you like to fall into that pit, and to be burning there forever?
- Young Jane: No sir.
- Mr. Brocklehurst: What must you do to avoid it?
- Young Jane: Keep well and and not die, sir.
- Mr. Brocklehurst: Deceit is a sin. It is akin to falsehood. And all liars shall spend eternity in that lake, burning with brimstone and fire.
- Young Jane: I'm not deceitful.
- Mr. Brocklehurst: I beg your pardon.
- Young Jane: I'm not deceitful! And I'm not a liar.
- [turns to Mrs. Reed]
- Young Jane: For if I were, I should say that I loved you. I do not love you. I dislike you worst of anybody in the world, except your son.
- Adele Varens: Mademoiselle, will we be very happy?
- Jane Eyre: We will work hard, and we will be content.
- Mr. Rochester: Are you fond of presents?
- Jane Eyre: I hardly know, sir. I have little experience of them. They're generally thought pleasant things.
- Mr. Rochester: *Generally* so, but what do you think?
- Jane Eyre: A present has many faces to it, has it not?
- Mr. Rochester: I love you as my own flesh. I beg of you to marry me. Say "Edward, give me my name." Say "Edward, I will marry you."
- Mr. Rochester: Just one last kiss before you leave.
- Jane Eyre: I shall never leave. You will never be alone for as long as I shall live.
- Mr. Rochester: It feels as though I had a string, tied here under my left rib where my heart is, tightly knotted to you.
- Mr. Rochester: This is my wife. Your sister, Mason. Look at her. She is mad! So was her mother. So was her grandmother. Three generations of violent lunacy. I wasn't told about that, was I, Mason? All I was told about was that my father had made a suitable match, one that would prop up his dwindling fortune and give your family the Rochester name! I did what I was TOLD! And Bertha was kept away from me, until the wedding was cleverly done. Everyone got what they wanted... except me. Even she is better off here than she would be in a lunatic asylum, but I have spent the last fifteen years in TORMENT!
- [looks at Jane]
- Mr. Rochester: And this what I, what I wished to have. This young girl who stands so grave and quiet at the mouth of hell. Look at the difference. Then judge me, priest on the gospel and man of the law, and remember with what judgment ye judge, ye... Off with you now.
- [first lines]
- Young Jane: My parents died when I was very young. I went to stay with my Aunt who didn't love me.
- Mrs. Reed: I want her to be brought up in a manner befitting her prospects. To be made useful, to be kept humble.
- Mrs. Reed: Did you see what a wicked child she is?
- Mr. Brocklehurst: Have no fear, Mrs. Reed, at Lokwood we shall tame her unruly spirit.
- Young Jane: How do you do, sir?
- Mr. Brocklehurst: I hear you are a wicked child, Jane Eyre. Let me examine you.
- Mr. Brocklehurst: The stool. Place this child upon it. You see this - this girl? Her name is Jane Eyre. Be on your guard against her. Avoid her company. Shut her out of your conversations. This girl, take a good look at her, this girl is a liar. Let her stand there all day. She shall have no food. And let no one speak to her.
- Mr. Brocklehurst: Vanity. You see this vanity? Long curled hair, masses of red curls. It is in defiance of every principles of this school. You know that as well as I do.
- Miss Scatcherd: Hands. Bonnet. Shoes. Hands. Bonnet. Bonnet, Jones! Burns, you're standing on the side of your shoes. Turn your toes out immediately. And your chin is poking out. Draw it in. Hold your head up! I will not have you standing in front of me in that slovenly way.
- [Helen coughs]
- Miss Scatcherd: Cover your mouth! Dirty, disagreeable girl. You haven't cleaned your fingernails this morning.
- Helen Burns: The water was frozen.
- Miss Scatcherd: That is no excuse. Fetch me the birch. Obstinate girl.
- [spanks Helen's open hands with the birch]
- Miss Scatcherd: Nothing
- [switch again]
- Miss Scatcherd: will cure you
- [switch again]
- Miss Scatcherd: of your slatternly
- [switch again]
- Miss Scatcherd: habits.
- [switch again]
- Helen Burns: Sorry, Miss Scatcherd.
- Young Jane: I told her to take off her bonnet.
- Mr. Brocklehurst: I don't care about her bonnet. It's her hair, her curls, her vanity.
- Miss Temple: It is not vanity, Mr. Brocklehurst. Helen's hair curls naturally.
- Mr. Brocklehurst: And does she not sin naturally, as well? I am here to teach you discipline. I am here to correct nature, So are you Miss Temple.
- Miss Temple: Well, let me try to arrange the hair so that it does not offend you.
- Mr. Brocklehurst: Offending *me* is not the issue. It is the child's vanity that must be suppressed. "Remove far from me, vanity and lies." Proverbs. Chapter 30, verse 8. The girl's hair shall be cut off.
- Young Jane: Why should you punish her for the way God made her?
- Mr. Brocklehurst: Fetch the scissors.
- Miss Temple: I'm sure you feel very sorry for yourselves. I'm sure you all envy other girls who seem to have been blessed with happier lives. But you have all been blessed with intelligence. Intelligence and a proper education will give you independence of spirit, and that is the greatest blessing of all.
- Mrs. Fairfax: Why, is anything the matter?
- Jane Eyre: I know tomorrow I'll discover this is a dream from which I must awaken.
- Mrs. Fairfax: We are real - and you are most welcome here, most welcome.
- Mr. Rochester: You have the look of another world about you. When I saw you in the lane, I thought on account of the fairy tales and have half a mind to ask whether you had bewitched my horse. I'm not sure yet, it is *she* who is responsible for my sprain.
- Jane Eyre: There was ice on the roadway, sir. It was that which caused your horse to slip.
- Mr. Rochester: Perhaps. I'm not sure yet.
- Mrs. Fairfax: Mr. Rochester does accept his responsibilities. And he's a just and liberal landlord to his tenants. He's well travelled and very intelligent. But when he talks to you, you cannot always be sure whether he is in jest or in earnest. Whether he is pleased or the contrary. He is not a happy man.
- Mr. Rochester: Were you happy when you painted these pictures?
- Jane Eyre: I didn't have the skill to paint what was in my imagination. I always wanted to achieve more.
- Mr. Rochester: You may have insufficient technique - but the thoughts are magical.
- Mr. Rochester: You are not naturally austere any more than I am naturally vicious. I once had a heart full of tender feelings. But fortune has knocked me about. Now I'm hard and tough as an India rubber ball. You think there's any hope for me?
- Jane Eyre: Hope for what, sir?
- Mr. Rochester: For my being transformed from India rubber back to flesh and blood?
- Jane Eyre: [referring to the source of her paintings] They came out of my head.
- Mr. Rochester: That head I see now on your shoulders?
- Jane Eyre: Yes, sir.
- Mr. Rochester: Has it other furniture of the same kind within?
- Jane Eyre: I think it may have. Better, I hope.
- Jane Eyre: What a strange man. So changeful and abrupt.
- Mrs. Fairfax: I suppose I've grown accustomed to it. And one has to make allowances.
- Jane Eyre: Why?
- Mrs. Fairfax: Partly because it is his nature - and we none of us can help our nature. Partly, family troubles.
- Jane Eyre: He doesn't have a family.
- Mrs. Fairfax: There are painful memories which are perhaps best forgotten.
- Mr. Rochester: When I looked around I was all she had left. And I *do* honor my obligations. However they were incurred. No one can deny me that.
- Mr. Rochester: What's the matter? You're shivering.
- Jane Eyre: I'm cold.
- Mr. Rochester: Cold? You're Cold?
- Jane Eyre: Yes, sir.
- Mr. Rochester: Go then, Jane. Go back to bed.
- Mr. Rochester: You have saved my life. I am in your debt.
- Jane Eyre: There is no debt, no obligation.
- Mr. Rochester: I knew you would do me good at some way, in some time. I saw it in your eyes when I first beheld you.
- Adele Varens: Ms. Fairfax, have you something we can keep a frog in?
- Mrs. Fairfax: A what?
- Adele Varens: A frog!
- Mrs. Fairfax: Oh, my dear, I have no time for frogs.
- Grace Poole: If I were you, Miss, I'd get into the habit of bolting my door when I went to bed at night.
- Lady Ingram: Don't talk to me about Governesses. The very word makes me tremble with rage. I have suffered a martyrdom in their incompetence.
- Mr. Rochester: Come back to the drawing room, it is too early to go to bed.
- Jane Eyre: I'm tired, sir.
- Mr. Rochester: And a little depressed. What about? Tell me.
- Jane Eyre: Nothing, sir. I'm not depressed.
- Mr. Rochester: But you are. So much so that a few more words would bring tears to your eyes. I see them there now.
