Lady Chatterley Page #3

No use discussing it. I've always

known it wouldn't last. It's over.

No, listen to me.

Don't go to Sheffield.

It's not in your nature.

You'll be unhappy there.

Why can't we look

for a place of our own?

That's all over and done with.

And it's not right for a man

to live off a woman.

I'm so worried

you'll be unhappy there.

We'll see...

But promise me... Look at me.

Promise me, if you're really unhappy

you'll let me find you

something else.

Do you promise?

The thing is,

I can't be like other folk.

I'm so unhappy

when I can't be alone.

But why should you be

like other folk?

It's better you're not.

No, it's not.

You have to be like other folk.

When I was a kid,

my mother kept calling me a girl.

She said there was

something in my character, like,

that was more like a woman

than a man.

Well, maybe she was right.

Why do you say that

as if it were a weakness. It's not.

You're more sensitive

than idiots like Dan Coutts.

You should be proud

of being sensitive.

Yer can call it

being sensitive or whatever.

I see it as a handicap.

The idea of going to that factory

is like death!

Other folk manage it

without making a fuss.

That's why I wanted

to go to Canada.

But yer don't want to go, so...

No, please don't go to Canada.

I've been there and to America.

I couldn't be happy there.

And I don't think

you'd like it either.

It'd kill something in you.

You have a gift.

You don't realise it, but I know.

You have the gift of life.

Now I'm afraid you'll spoil it

when I need it so much.

Please trust me.

I know one thing for sure:

you only get one life.

Exactly. That's just it.

I can give you the money tomorrow

and you can buy a place.

A little farm you could work on.

No! You don't understand.

I love you.

If you only knew how much!

But I mustn't feel small.

I feel like there's no place for me,

like I'm worth nothing to no one...

except to you.

When you went away, I tried

not to think about you too much,

because it was no use.

What was the point?

But when I still thought about you...

I said to myself:

You're like my home.

And yet, real houses

don't mean much to me.

It's because...

until I met you,

everything was like a prison to me.

I felt locked up,

belittled.

You opened up the world to me.

And when I think of that...

how you opened up to me...

how you gave me freedom...

I think I'm stupid to be afraid.

And if you want me

to work on a farm next year,

then, I accept.

I'm sorry.

It's because I'm so happy

we're together again.

I better go now

without saying goodbye or anything.

But I just wanted to say

that while we're apart,

I mean, while we're not together,

I don't mind if you see other women.

I won't need to.

You never know.

But don't tell me.

It'll be your secret.

But keep your heart gentle.

Because if you do

I'll never lose you.

I've been without women before.

I can wait, you know.

Really? You'll wait for me?

If I need you one day,

if I can't stand my life,

if I decide to leave Clifford

you'll come for me?

If you think you need me

I'll come.

If you think

you have no other choice

I'll do what's best for us.

I'll get a job on a farm and...

You'll come for me

if I can't bear it any more?

Yes.
