"Swiftly she rose

Ow!

Nor me.

Anny.

None ofyou

He,s all right.

A w, he,s shy.

Bet you think

I threw it.

No.

Well, I did.

But don,t tell anyone.

My name,s Arabella.

My father,s a pig breeder.

We were washing innards

for black pudding.

What?

Nothing.

I don,t work Sundays.

You can see me then.

Nothin, else?

some of the Greek

Testament.

Hoity toity.

Well, I need to,

if I,m going to get

into Christminster.

Ha ha!

Christminster?

Yes. I,m going

to be a scholar,

maybe even

a professor one day.

My, my.

You ever seen me

climb a tree?

No.

A!

Jude:
I,lljust

tell him.

Arabella:
We didn,t

do anything.

Where are you?

Get up, Abby.

Why?

Be careful.

It,s natural for a woman

to bring a live thing

into the world.

Aunt Drusilla:

Jude.

Yes?

It,s late.

To the bride

and the groom.

Lisa.

What?

Pass that

to Aunt Drusilla.

Aunt Drusilla.

This is for Aunt Drusilla.

What shall we

call her?

Rosie,s pick.

Rosie, what?

What about

Jemima Spot?

Jemima Spot.

Do you like that?

Jude:
It isn,t

your own?

So?

What?

Haven,t you got enough

ofyour own hair?

Don,t you like it?

No.

Then I won,t wear it.

Leave it on.

I want to see us.

You can close your eyes

ifyou like...

and pretend it,s dark.

Jude.

Ask me nicely.

Ask you what?

Whatever you

want me to do.

I don,t know.

A!

He,s never gonna get here.

He,s probably

bloody drunk.

We,lljust have

to do it ourselves.

Be careful

with those.

Aunt Drusilla:

It,s a bit late

You should have

listened to me.

Please don,t say that.

Shall I get

your room ready?

No. I,d better go.

I knowyou think

I really believed

I was pregnant.

Can I help you?

This is nice.

It,s the same city:

maybe a 5minute walk

from Church Street

to Scum Street.

Why don,t we go over?

Why don,t we go over

and knock on their doors?

Because theye convinced us

this is the way it is.

No change.

Why change?

to win their argument.

Hello. I,m looking

forJude Fawley.

Thank you.

Jude Fawley?

I,m your cousin

Sue Bridehead.

Aunt Drusilla wrote

and told me

you were in Christminster.

Hello.

Don,t either ofyou

take this wrong,

but you don,t look

like cousins to me.

Why is that?

Because you,re

pretty and fine,

andJude here has got

this dour slab of stone for a face.

A big nose is a sign

of nobility.

Shut up, tinker.

Are you

superstitiousJude?

No.

Nor am I,

but I think

it,s better to be safe.

Don,t you?

away from

this university.

But it,s

wonderful here.

It,s all stone.

You,re talking

about the buildings.

I,m talking

about the scholars.

I was talking

about the scholars, too.

Thank you.

Uh!

Finish it.

How much are

these 2, please?

You,re not going

to buy them?

Why not?

Would you like me

to wrap them up?

No, thank you.

Why have you

wrapped them up?

Because I don,t want

to give my landlady

You mean like me?

I didn,t know

you were a girl.

Do I irritate you?

No.

Even when I keep trying to prove

how much cleverer than you I am?

You are.

Don,t say that.

Why not?

Say something.

"Hominus similis

daeus quis chaedit ad Latin. "

Godlike the man

who sits at her side,

Nothing is left of me

each time I see her.

Beautiful.

Don,t know about that.

Quite common, I hear.

What do you think,

Jude?

You two are cousins.

You tell me.

Jude:
Sue?

You,ll have to do

better than that.

That,s Wilks.

I had a row

with my landlady.

She found one ofmy statues and

threw it on the floor

Joe:
Do you want

a hatJude?

What,s the problem?

It,s raining.

It,s what?

Have a beer.

I thought you were

the intelligent one.

Sue!

Jude Reading:
"Sir,

I,ve read your letter with interest,

"andjudging from

your description ofyourself

"as a working man,

All I know is I,d lick them

on their own ground

Aye, but can you say

the creed in Latin, man?

Yes, I can!

I definitely can!

Excuse me.

Quiet, please!

Quiet!

The gentleman in the corner

Joe:
Here,s your chance.

Jude:
Sue!

Sue!

Jude.

I,ve been drinking,

Sue.

Will you let me in?

All right.

I can do it.

Jude.

You,ll learn more

than they can ever teach you.

I,m sure this is the last thing

you want to hear,

Since when did you stop

believing in them?

No!

Sue:
DearestJude,

He is teaching

at a new school,

and I am studying

at a training college.

The rules here

are strict beyond belief,

and our visiting hours

are limited,

but I,d love

to see you again.

Your hands are rough,

Jude.

What,s wrong?

We,re lookin,

for somewhere to stay.

Don,t take children.

We,re lookin,

for somewhere to stay.

No. I,m sorry. No room.

Thank you. Thank you.

I love this place...

even though I know it looks down

on people like me.

The self taught,

too determined.

Takes 2 or 3 generations

to do what I tried to do in one.

Do you believe in God?

You think so? Yes.

Ha ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

How many times have you

missed a church service in your life?

Why?

What are you reading

at the moment?

Ha ha ha ha ha.

What do you

want with me?

Come home.

You don,t know

my badness.

Yes, I do.

You make me

hate Christianity and God

and whatever

has reduced you to this state.

It,s right

that I suffer.

It,s wrong...

that a woman

like you

should give up

her mind,

degrade herself

like this

Don,t talk to me

like that!

I,m sorry.

Come home.

No, I can,t.

It,s all rightJude. I know what

to do. We,ll talk in the morning.

Write to Arabella.

Ask her to take you back.

No. How can you, Sue?

You love me.

You love me, Sue.

Say it, Sue.

Say it.

Say it. Say it.

Not for me.

How are you?

All right.

You look well.

Do I?

I won't stop trying.
