Stop it! Thief or beggar is all you were born to be! Kneeling beside the road, begging for favours, not earning them, but wimpering for them, with dirty hands!

Quote context

[...]

- Cathy, where's your heart?

- You had a chance to be something else! You left here once! Oh, why didn't you stay away? Now, let me alone.

- That's right, that's right, the dirty stable boy can't come near you lest he soil your dress. But who soils your heart?

- Who turns you into a cheap, vain, ambitious fool? Linton does.

- You let yourself be loved by him because you want to be a fine lady, because it pleases your stupid, greedy vanity!

- Stop it! Thief or beggar is all you were born to be! Kneeling beside the road, begging for favours, not earning them, but wimpering for them, with dirty hands!

- I see. All I am to you now is a pair of dirty hands. Well, have 'em, then! Have 'em where they belong!

- How dare you? How dare you?

- Well, Heathcliff. I'll thank you to stay out of my kitchen.

- Is... is Cathy still with him?

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.

You're not as black and horrible as they say. It's just you're full of pain, all twisted inside.

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.

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.

I forgive you, I forgive you for what you've done. I love you, I love my murderer.
