00:00You have been sitting at my desk, planning a life with her at my cottage.
00:04No. At my cottage, brother.
00:09I see my valet does not know where his loyalty lies.
00:11He let me intimidate him, as should you.
00:13If you've thought it through, even for a moment...
00:15No, I have thought it through.
00:17I've thought every inch of it through.
00:20You've been gone longer than you realise.
00:22You do not know me now.
00:24I know that you mean well, always.
00:27But if you are choosing a life with her, you cannot have thought it all through.
00:30I will not stand here.
00:31Have you thought about how she'll feel when you eventually marry?
00:33I do not need to marry!
00:34What about when you decide you want a family?
00:37I know you'll want one one day, and you cannot do that with her.
00:40Can I not?
00:41No. Not in the way that you would like.
00:44I understand you may have convinced yourself that she is reason enough to risk everything.
00:49But think, if you ever have a family, what the reality of life would be like for those children.
00:55They'll never be able to join our family.
00:57Not truly, they'll be shunned by society.
01:00Cast out.
01:01I mean, not even our mother is saintly enough to allow such a thing.
01:05I could not live with myself, if I looked into Edmund's eyes, knowing I had brought him into this world
01:13under those conditions.
01:16Could you?
01:18I have thought of that.
01:22All of it.
01:25But I cannot walk away from her.
01:36I should cut you off.
01:39Disign you.
01:40Protect the family.
01:46But I believe in you.
01:48To make the right decision in the end.
01:53Please, do not make me the fool.
01:54Please, do not make me the fool.
01:55do not make me the fool. Thank you.
