Quote context

[...]

- I want to tell you, I'm furious with my brother and with Cathy. They received you most shamefully last night.

- Your brother didn't send you with this apology, did he?

- Oh, no.

- No, in fact he's forbidden me to...

- To speak to me, hm?

- Well, yes.

- And Cathy also forbade you?

- Yes.

- Hmm. Then in all the moorland, you are my only friend, hm?

- Well, I would like to be.

- Hmm, thank you.

- I enjoy frankness. You didn't come here to apologise and your horse didn't go lame. You came because you're lonely.

- And because the house you live in is too happily-wedded for an outsider.

- And because it's no joy to ride the moors alone. Is that right?

- Yes.

- Then you needn't be lonely anymore, my dear.

- What? Do you think it strange that I should kiss you?

- Well, I don't know.

- You hated it?

- No.

- Well. I see you like frankness, too.

Top rated lines from this movie

Ah, so he's lost some of his pride, has he? Well, there's none gone in this house.
I want to crawl to her feet, whimper to be forgiven for loving her. For needing her more than my own life. For belonging to her more than my own soul.
I forgive you, I forgive you for what you've done. I love you, I love my murderer.
I killed you. Then haunt me. Be with me always. Take any form you wish. Only don't leave me where I can't find you.
The only thing is, I wonder if I belong in heaven. I dreamed once I was there and I broke my heart with weeping to come back to earth, to the bleak moors. And I awoke, sobbing with joy, on top of Wuthering Heights.
