00:00Miss Eyre, come here.
00:05Well, come along, I'm not going to eat you.
00:12You are Jane Eyre, the new governess.
00:16Mrs. Fairfax didn't warn me you were speechless.
00:20Who are you, sir?
00:22Your employer.
00:24Mr. Rochester?
00:25Mr. Rochester.
00:28Adele was right. She told me you look like a frightened rabbit.
00:32Adele has her own way of describing people, sir.
00:35Oh, and how did she describe me?
00:37I don't think it's worthwhile to repeat what she said.
00:39She called me a monster, I suppose.
00:41That was not the word she used.
00:43Well, something like it, no doubt.
00:45I know that I... that I frighten.
00:48I frighten most people.
00:52Why do you stare at me so? Do you find me handsome?
00:56No, sir.
00:58Oh, I mean, I was startled. I thought for a moment that...
01:02That I was a ghost.
01:06The ghost of Thornfield Hall.
01:08Oh, please forgive me, I had no idea...
01:10No, this house has enough ghosts in it already without my adding to them.
01:27THORNFIELD HALL
01:48Mr. Rochester, get up, quickly!
01:50Come on, you must get up.
01:52Quickly, quickly.
01:56God, that smoke!
01:58Mr. Russell, sir, are you all right?
02:00Yes, thanks to her.
02:02Are you sure, sir? I could send John for the doctor.
02:04Oh, that isn't necessary.
02:06Your hands, you haven't burnt yourself.
02:08No, sir, but you need some fresh air.
02:10Is it out?
02:12Fortunately.
02:14If you attended to your duties, these incidents wouldn't happen.
02:16I was asleep. I have to sleep sometimes.
02:18You get back upstairs.
02:20And keep this door locked.
02:22I have been wondering, nonetheless,
02:24if you might consider a proposition of her,
02:26I grant a somewhat unusual nature.
02:28Oh?
02:30Something that may take you away from here.
02:32To London?
02:34Out of England altogether, somewhere as far away as India.
02:36India?
02:38Yes. I have been asked by my bishop
02:40to take up missionary work there
02:42in a somewhat remote province.
02:44It would be difficult, perhaps dangerous,
02:46but challenging.
02:48I had been thinking
02:50that with your unusual gifts,
02:52and your aptitude for languages,
02:54well, it came to mind that...
02:56that...
02:58Yes, Mr. Rivers?
03:00That you might consider the possibilities
03:02of... of...
03:04of such a position.
03:06You mean that I should become a missionary?
03:08In a sense.
03:10Well, it was just an idea, you see,
03:12which had... well, it had occurred to me.
03:14Well, I'm most flattered
03:16that you should think me qualified.
03:18Oh, you are. You are.
03:20Actually, if you agree,
03:22we should have to consider certain amendments
03:24in our relationship.
03:26I hope you understand what I refer.
03:28No.
03:30Oh.
03:32Although I... we should be carrying out
03:34our mission among savage tribes,
03:36unblessed by Christian ethics,
03:38it would be necessary
03:40purely from a sense of form,
03:42you understand,
03:44to... to set an example.
03:47Are you by any chance
03:49asking me to marry you?
03:51Well, yes.
03:53It had occurred to me that under the circumstances
03:55such an arrangement, purely, you understand,
03:57for the sake of convention, might,
03:59I had the idea,
04:01be generally advisable.
04:03Thank you.
04:05Thank you.
04:07It is indeed a most elevating proposal.
04:09I'm glad you appreciate it.
04:11I mean, I'm glad you understand
04:13the exigencies which prompted it.
04:15Certainly.
04:17You will consider, then?
04:19I will consider.
04:21Thank you, Miss Eyre, thank you.
04:27So, you were waiting for your people
04:29when I saw you in the lane.
04:31For whom, sir?
04:33For the men in green.
04:35It was a proper moonlight evening for them.
04:37Did I break through one of your rings
04:39that you spread that damned ice on the courseway?
04:41The men in green all forsook England
04:43a hundred years ago.
04:45Not even in Hay Lane or the fields about it
04:47would you find a trace of them.
04:49I don't think summer, harvest, or winter moon
04:51will ever shine on their revels more.
04:57You shall walk up the pyramids of Egypt
04:59at your peril, you advertise.
05:03I wish I'd only given you a sovereign.
05:05Give me back nine pounds, Jane. I've a use for it.
05:07And so have I, sir.
05:09You little nigger.
05:11Just let me look at the money again.
05:13No.
05:15You are not to be trusted.
05:31Blast you!
05:33Are you all right, sir?
05:35What do I look as though I'm all right?
05:37What were you doing
05:39looming out of the mist like a witch?
05:41Are you a mad woman?
05:43Do you want me to go and get some help?
05:45Blast no!
05:47Come here. I want you to help me up.
05:49I'm not sure that's the correct thing to do.
05:51Your leg might be broken, sir.
05:53I can fetch someone from where I live at Thornfield.
05:55It's just at the bottom of the lane.
05:57No need for that. It's just a spread.
05:59Come here.
06:01Come on, for heaven's sake, woman.
06:03Give me your arm.
06:06You examine me.
06:08You find me handsome, Miss Eyre?
06:10No, sir.
06:14A direct answer for a direct question.
06:17I didn't mean to say...
06:19Don't try to modify your answer. It was an honest reply.
06:24Sit down.
06:27So...
06:29what faults do you find in me?
06:31Does my nose not please you?
06:33It's not...
06:35Are my eyes too close central?
06:37Or is it that my ears are too large?
06:39Are my foreheads not too large?
06:41It is a fine forehead.
06:43Appearance is of little consequence.
06:45It is the person within that is the attraction.
06:47I see.
06:49It's my character that you find unattractive.
06:52What I meant to say was...
06:54certain facets of your character are...
06:56somewhat unpleasant.
06:58At last, I've been waiting for you.
07:02Oh, we're leaving, I see.
07:04Didn't I just know you deserved me?
07:06Really, Jane, you are so predictable.
07:09Couldn't you be just a little more original?
07:12I'm talking to you. Where are you going?
07:14Away, sir.
07:15Where?
07:16Please let go of my arm.
07:18Not until you tell me where you're going.
07:20I do not know where I am going.
07:22I do not know where I am going.
07:24Oh, anywhere so long as it's far away from me, is that it?
07:27And why, I'll tell you why.
07:29Because you were only interested in becoming Mrs. Rochester.
07:32That's why.
07:33Please give me my bag back.
07:34You were never in love with me, Jane.
07:36You were in love with the idea of being mistress of Thornfield.
07:40Admit it.
07:42You're no better than Blanche Ingram.
07:44Running away like a spoilt child.
07:46A minute you can't hide your way.
07:48I thought you were mature.
07:50Like a child who has no idea what real love is.
07:54I would have done anything for you.
07:56Anything.
07:57I was prepared to commit bigamy because I knew that being married was important to you.
08:02And they could have thrown me in prison, I wouldn't have cared.
08:04I just wanted to make you happy.
08:06Please let go of my arms.
08:08Look me in the eyes and tell me you don't love me.
08:10And you can walk free.
08:13Say it.
