Wuthering Heights script
Call off your ungodly dogs!
Down!
Quiet! Down!
Are you Mr. Heathcliff?
Well, l'm Mr. Lockwood, your new tenant
at the Grange.
l'm lost.
l--
Can l get a guide from
amongst your lads?
No, you
cannot. l've only got one, and he's needed here.
Well, then, l'll have to
stay till morning.
Do as
you please.
Quiet! Down!
Thank you for your
hospitality. Could you extend it to a cup of tea?
- Shall l? - You heard him
ask for it.
Thank you.
l presume the amiable lady
is Mrs. Heathcliff?
Would
it be taxing your remarkable hospitality if l sat
down?
l hope my
hospitality will teach you...
not to make rash journeys on these
moors.
As for staying
here, l don't keep accommodations for visitors.
You can share a bed with
one of the servants.
Thanks. l'll sleep in a chair, sir.
No. A stranger is a
stranger.
Guests are so
rare in this house that l hardly know how to
receive them.
l and my
dog.
Joseph, open up one
of the upstairs rooms.
Here's a room for thee, sir.
Bridal chamber.
Nobody slept here for
years.
lt's a trifle
depressing.
- Can you
light a fire? - No fire will burn in yonder grate.
Chimbley's all blocked up.
Very well. Thanks.
Good night.
l said good night.
Heathcliff!
Let
me in!
l'm lost on the
moors!
- lt's Cathy! -
Help! Mr. Heathcliff!
There's somebody out!
Oh, Mr. Heathcliff!
There's someone out there. lt's a
woman. l heard her calling.
She said her name. Cathy. That was it!
Cathy?
Oh, l must have been dreaming. Forgive
me.
Get out of this room.
Get out!
Get out, l tell
you!
Cathy! Come in!
Cathy, come back to me.
Oh, do come once more.
Oh, my heart's darling!
Cathy. My own--
My--
Where's he going in the storm?
She calls him...
and he follows her out onto
the moor.
He's mad! He's
like a madman.
He seized
me by the collar and flung me out.
You see, l had a dream.
l thought l heard a voice calling.
l reached out to close the
shutter, and something touched me.
Something cold and clinging, like an
icy hand.
And then l saw
her. A woman.
Then my
senses must have become disordered because the
falling snow...
shaped
itself into what looked like a phantom, but there
was nothing.
lt was Cathy.
Who is Cathy?
A girl who died.
Oh, no, l don't believe in ghosts.
l don't believe in phantoms
sobbing through the night.
- Poor Cathy. - l don't believe life
comes back...
once it's
died and calls again to the living.
No, l don't.
Maybe if l told you her story, you'd
change your mind...
about
the dead coming back.
Maybe you'd know, as l do...
that there is a force that
brings them back...
if
their hearts were wild enough in life.
Tell me her story.
lt began 40 years ago...
when l was young...
in the service of Mr.
Earnshaw...
Cathy's
father.
Cathy's father.
Wuthering Heights was a
lovely place in those days...
full of summertime and youth and happy
voices.
One day Mr.
Earnshaw was returning from a visit to Liverpool.
- You'll not catch me! -
Yes, l will!
Cathy, go
wash! l don't want your father to see you in that
dress.
You too, Hindley.
Hurry up, now.
l don't
want to get washed!
Come
along! l'll tell your father not to give you the
present he's
bringing.
- What's he bringing? - Go along
upstairs.
Joseph says his
horse is coming over the hill.
Evening, Mr. Earnshaw.
- Hello, Joseph. - Hello, neighbor
Earnshaw.
- How are you,
Dr. Kenneth? - Back so soon?
What in the world have you got there?
A gift of God.
Although it's as dark as if he came
from the devil.
- Quiet,
me bonny lad, we're home. - He's a dour-looking
individual.
Aye, and with
reason. l found him starving in Liverpool...
kicked and bruised and
almost dead.
So you
kidnapped him.
Not until l
spent two pounds trying to find out who its owner
was.
But nobody would
claim him, so l brought him home.
- Giddap! - Here, here!
Come on, you young imp of Satan. Off
with ye.
- Cathy, Hindley!
- Welcome home. The children are coming.
Don't look so shocked,
Ellen.
He's going to live
with us for a while. Give him a good scrubbing...
and put some Christian
clothes on him.
Food is
what he needs most, Mr. Earnshaw.
He's as thin as a sparrow. Come into
the kitchen, child.
Cathy!
Hindley!
- Father, what
did you bring me? - Hello, Father!
There you are. lt's what you've always
wanted.
A riding crop. Be
careful how you use it.
-
Oh, it's wonderful! - l'm so glad you got back
soon.
- lt's wonderful! -
Ow! Father, make her stop!
No, children.
This is Hindley's violin.
One of the best in Liverpool.
Here. Fine tone.
And a bow to go with it.
Here you are, Paganini.
Who's that?
- He was hungry as a wolf. - Oh,
children.
This is a little
gentleman l met in Liverpool who will pay us a
visit.
He-- He's dirty.
Oh, no. Don't make me
ashamed of you, Cathy.
When he's been scrubbed, show him
Hindley's room.
- He'll
sleep there. - ln my room?
He can't. l won't let him.
Children, you may as well learn now
that you must share what you have...
with others not as fortunate as
yourselves.
- Take charge
of the lad, Ellen. - Come along, child.
What's your name?
We'll call him Heathcliff.
Heathcliff, l'll race you
to the barn. The loser has to be the slave.
Come on!
Faster!
Come
on!
Whoa. l won!
You're my slave! You have
to do as l say. Water my horse and groom it!
Oh, that's not fair! lt's
too real.
- What do you
want? - This horse.
- You
can't have him. He's mine! - Mine's lame. l'm
riding yours.
Give him to
me or l'll tell Father you boasted you'd turn me
out when he
died!
That's a lie! l never said such a
thing.
- He didn't! - You
never had a father!
You
gypsy beggar! You can't have mine!
Stop that!
-
Heathcliff, look out! - Don't come near me!
Let him go! You killed him!
l'm going to tell Father.
He'll punish you for this.
You can't go near him till he's well.
- You heard Dr. Kenneth! -
Are you hurt badly?
Talk
to me.
Why don't you cry?
Heathcliff, don't look like that!
How can l pay him back?
l don't care how long l wait...
if l can only pay him back.
Come. Let's pick harebells
on Penistone Crag.
You can
ride Jane.
Please, milord?
- Oh, Heathcliff. - Whoa,
Jane.
- You're so handsome
when you smile. - Don't make fun of me.
Don't you know that you're
handsome? Do you know what l've told Ellen?
- You're a prince in
disguise. - You did?
l
said
your
father
was
the
emperor
of
China
and
your
mother
an
lndian
queen.
lt's true, Heathcliff.
You were kidnapped by wicked sailors
and brought to England.
But l'm glad. l've always wanted to
know somebody of noble birth.
All the princes l ever read about had
castles.
Of course. They
captured them. You must capture one too.
There's
a
beautiful
castle
that
lies
waiting
for
your
lance,
Sir
Prince.
You mean Penistone Crag? Aw, that's
just a rock.
lf you can't
see that's a castle, you'll never be a prince.
Here, take your lance and
charge!
See that black
knight at the drawbridge? Challenge him!
Charge!
l challenge you to mortal combat, Black
Knight!
Heathcliff! You've
killed him! You've killed the black knight!
He's earned it for all his
wicked deeds.
Oh, it's a
wonderful castle.
-
Heathcliff, let's never leave it. - Never in our
lives!
Let all the world
confess, there is not a more beautiful damsel...
than the Princess Catherine
of Yorkshire.
But l'm
still your slave.
No,
Cathy. l now make you my queen.
Whatever happens out there, here you
will always be my queen.
How is he, Doctor?
He is at peace.
Send for the vicar, Joseph.
My dear, wild little Cathy.
You may come up and pray
beside him now.
You're not
wanted up there.
My father
is past your wheedling.
Go
and help the stable boys harness the horse for the
vicar.
Do as you're told.
l'm master here now.
And
as the children grew up, Hindley was indeed master
of Wuthering
Heights.
lt was no longer the happy home of
their childhood.
- Joseph,
bring me another bottle. - That's the third, Mr.
Hindley.
The third or the
twenty-third, bring me another.
Wine is a mocker. Strong drink is
raging, Master Hindley.
Stop spouting scripture and do as
you're told, you croaking old parrot.
Yes, Master Hindley.
Sit down, Cathy, till you're excused
from the table.
Joseph,
fill Miss Cathy's glass.
Oh, my little sister disapproves of
drinking.
Well, l know
some people who don't.
Heathcliff, saddle my horse. Be quick
about it, you gypsy beggar.
l told you to be quick.
Look at this stable. lt's a pigsty. ls
this the way you do your work?
Clean it up. l want this floor cleaned
and scrubbed tonight.
Don't stand there showing your teeth.
Give me a hand up.
l want
your work done when l come back at dawn, do you
hear?
Oh, you're hoping l
won't come back.
You're
hoping l'll fall and break my neck, aren't you?
Aren't you?
Well, come on, Heathcliff.
Heathcliff, where are you going?
Come back!
- Did Joseph see which way you came? -
What does it matter?
Nothing's real down there. Our life is
here.
Yes, milord.
The clouds are lowering
over Gimmerton Head.
See
how the light is changing?
lt would be dreadful if Hindley ever
found out.
Found out what?
That you talk to me once in
a while?
l shouldn't talk
to you at all.
Look at
you! You get worse every day.
Dirty and unkempt and in rags. Why
aren't you a man?
Heathcliff, why don't you run away?
Run away? From you?
You could come back rich
and take me away.
Why
aren't you my prince like we said long ago?
- Why can't you rescue me?
- Come with me now.
-
Where? - Anywhere!
And
live in haystacks and steal our food from the
marketplaces?
No. That's
not what l want.
You just
want to send me off. That won't do.
l've stayed here and been beaten like a
dog.
Abused and cursed and
driven mad, but l stayed just to be near you.
Even as a dog! l'll stay
till the end. l'll live and l'll die under this
rock.
Do you
hear?
Music.
The Lintons are giving a party.
That's what l want. Dancing
and singing in a pretty world.
And l'm going to have it.
Come on. Let's go and see. Come on!
lsn't it wonderful?
lsn't she beautiful? That's
the kind of dress l'll wear.
You'll have a red velvet coat with
silver buckles on your shoes.
Oh, will we ever?
Quick.
- Hold
him, Skulker, Flash! - Call off your dogs, you
fools!
Stay where you are.
There's nothing to be alarmed about.
- Who is it? - l don't know.
Please, back into the
ballroom.
- Let me go! -
Hold that man.
Hold onto
him!
- Who is it Edgar? -
Catherine Earnshaw, Father.
- Who's this with her? - Their stable
boy.
She's bleeding. Bring
hot water, lsabella, and bandages.
- Yes. How badly is she hurt? - Can't
tell.
Send Robert to get
Dr. Kenneth in the shay. Hurry.
- You'll pay for this! - Hold your
tongue, insolent rascal!
-
Get out of this house. - l won't go without Cathy.
Father, please, she's in
pain.
Go on. Run away.
Bring me back the world.
- Pack this fellow off. -
l'm going.
l'm going from
here and from this cursed country both.
Throw him out!
But l'll be back in this house one day,
Judge Linton. l'll pay you out.
l'll bring this house down in ruins
about your heads.
That's
my curse on you!
On all of
you!
And so Cathy found
herself in this new world...
she had so often longed to enter.
After
some
happy
weeks,
Mr.
Edgar
brought her
back
to
Wuthering
Heights.
Welcome home, Miss Cathy! How do you
do, Mr. Linton?
Don't
stir! l'll get Joseph to carry you.
Carry her? She runs like a little goat.
Ellen, l've been dancing,
night after night!
Oh, how
beautiful you look! Wherever did you get that
beautiful dress?
Mr.
Linton's sister lent it to me. lsn't it wonderful?
Edgar, do come in for tea.
As soon as the horses have
been seen to.
l'll find
someone.
ls he here?
He came back last week with
great talk...
of lying in
a lake of fire without you-- how he had to see you
to live.
He's unbearable.
Where could he be, the scoundrel?
Why did you stay so long in that house?
l didn't expect to find you
here.
Why did you stay so
long?
Why? Because l was
having a wonderful time.
A
delightful, fascinating, wonderful time...
among human beings.
Go and wash your face and
hands, and comb your hair...
so that l needn't be ashamed of you in
front of a guest.
What are
you doing in this part of the house? Look after
Mr. Linton's
horses.
Let him look after his own.
- l've already done so. -
Apologize to Mr. Linton at once.
Bring in some tea, please.
- Cathy. - Yes, Edgar?
l cannot understand how your brother
can allow that gypsy in the house.
Don't talk about him.
How can you, a gentlewoman, tolerate
him under your roof?
A
roadside beggar giving himself airs of equality.
How can you?
What do you
know about Heathcliff?
-
All l need or want to know. - He was my friend
long before you.
- That
blackguard? - Blackguard and all, he belongs here.
Speak well of him or get
out!
- Are you out of your
senses? - Stop calling those l love names!
Those you love?
Cathy, what possesses you?
Do you realize the things you're saying?
l'm saying that l hate you.
l hate the look of your
milk-white face.
l hate
the touch of your soft, foolish hands.
That gypsy's evil soul has
got into you.
- Yes, it's
true! - That beggar's dirt is on you!
Yes! Now get out!
My dear.
Leave
me alone.
Forgive me,
Heathcliff.
Make the world
stop right here.
Make
everything stop and stand still and never move
again.
Make the moors
never change and you and l never change.
The moors and l will never
change.
- Don't you,
Cathy. - l can't.
No
matter what l ever do or say, this is me now.
Standing on this hill with
you.
This is me forever.
Come.
When you went away, what did you do?
Where did you go?
l went
to Liverpool.
One night l
shipped for America on a brigantine going to New
Orleans.
We were held up
by the tide, and l lay all night on the deck...
thinking of you and the
years and years ahead without you.
l jumped overboard and swam ashore.
l think l'd have died if
you hadn't.
You're not
thinking of that other world now.
Smell the heather.
Fill my arms with heather. All they can
hold.
Come on.
You're still my queen!
And as time went by...
Cathy again was torn
between her wild, uncontrollable passion for
Heathcliff...
and the new life she had found at the
Grange...
that she could
not forget.
l got the soap
in my eyes! Where's the towel?
- Oh, it's hot! - No, it's just--
- lt's hot! - Don't do
that!
Ellen, haven't you
finished yet?
Supposing
you're not ready when he gets here. Keep still.
Any young man that will
come sniveling back after the way you treated
him...
you can
keep waiting forever.
What's wrong with him, sending you
perfume? Hasn't he any pride?
l sent my apologies, didn't l?
l can't believe this change
in you, Miss Cathy.
Yesterday you were a harum-scarum child
with dirty hands and a willful
heart.
Look at you.
Oh, you're lovely, Miss Cathy. Lovely.
That's a very silly lie.
l'm not lovely. What l am
is very brilliant.
- l
have a wonderful brain. - lndeed?
lt enables me to be superior to myself.
There's nothing to be
gained by just looking pretty like lsabella.
Every
beauty
mark
must
conceal
a
thought
and
every
curl
be
full
of
humor...
as well as brilliantine.
as well as brilliantine.
Such prattle. We--
Since when are you in the
habit of entering my room, Heathcliff?
l want to talk to you. Go
outside, Ellen.
l will
not! l take orders from Mistress Catherine, not
stable boys.
Go outside.
All right, Ellen.
Now
that
we're
so
happily
alone,
may
l
know
to
what
l
owe
this
great
honor?
- He's coming here again. - You're
utterly unbearable.
You
didn't think so this morning on the moors.
- Well, my moods change
indoors. - ls he coming here?
- Of course not. Please go away. -
You're lying!
Why are you
dressed up in a silk dress?
Because gentlefolk dress for dinner.
Not you. Why are you trying
to win his puling flatteries?
l'm not a child. You can't talk like
that to me.
l'm not
talking to a child. l'm talking to my Cathy.
- Oh, l'm your Cathy? -
Yes!
l'm to take your
orders and allow you to select my dresses?
You're not gonna simper in
front of him, listening to his silly talk!
l'm not?
Well, l am. lt's more entertaining that
listening to a stable boy.
- Don't you talk like that. - l will.
Go away.
This
is
my
room,
a
lady's
room,
not
a
room
for
servants
with
dirty
hands.
Let me alone!
Yes.
Tell the
dirty stable boy to let go of you.
He soils your pretty dress.
But who soils your heart?
Not Heathcliff!
Who turns
you into a vain, cheap, worldly fool? Linton does!
You'll never love him, but
you'll let yourself be loved to please your
vanity.
Loved
by that milksop with buckles on his shoes!
Stop it and get out!
You had your chance to be
something else.
But
thief
or
servant
were
all
you
were
born
to
be,
or
beggar
beside
a
road.
Not earning favors, but
whimpering for them with your dirty hands!
That's all l've become to
you: a pair of dirty hands.
Well, have them then!
Have them where they belong!
lt doesn't help to strike
you.
Good evening, Ellen.
l hope l'm not too early.
- Miss Cathy will be down in a minute.
- Thanks.
lf you'll go
into the parlor, l'll tell Miss Cathy you're here.
Half past eight. Unholy
hour.
Doesn't he know,
young fool, when it's time to go home?
That's Mr. Edgar now.
Go and fetch his horse.
- Take these apples into
the larder. - Yea, Lord.
Spare the righteous and smite the
ungodly.
Stop your
pratter.
- Good night,
Joseph. - Good night, sir.
Has he gone?
Your hands! What have you done?
Linton. ls he gone?
What have you done to your
hands?
What have you been
doing?
l want to crawl to
her feet, whimper to be forgiven...
for loving me, for needing her more
than my own life...
for
belonging to her more than my own soul.
Don't let her see me.
l wondered whether you were
still up. l have some news!
The kitchen is no place for that. Come
into the parlor.
Come
here. Sit down. Listen!
Can you keep a secret? Edgar's asked me
to marry him.
- What did
you tell him? - That l'd give him my answer
tomorrow.
Do you love him,
Miss Cathy?
- Yes! Of
course. - Why?
Why? That's
a silly question, isn't it?
No, not so silly. Why do you love him?
He's handsome and pleasant
to be with.
- That's not
enough. - Because he'll be rich someday.
l'll be the finest lady in
the county.
Now tell me
how you love him.
l love
the ground under his feet, the air above his
head...
and everything he
touches.
What about
Heathcliff?
Oh,
Heathcliff. He gets worse every day.
lt would degrade me to marry him.
l wish he hadn't come back.
lt would be heaven to
escape from this disorderly, comfortless place.
Well, if Master Edgar and
his charms and money...
Well, if Master Edgar and his charms
and money...
and parties
mean heaven to you...
what's to keep you from taking your
place among the Linton angels?
l don't think l belong in heaven.
l dreamt once l was there.
l dreamt l went to heaven,
and it didn't seem to be my home.
l broke my heart with weeping to come
back to earth.
The
angels
were
so
angry,
they
flung
me
out
in
the
middle
of
the
heath...
on top of Wuthering Heights.
l woke up sobbing with joy.
That's it, Ellen!
l have no more business
marrying Edgar than l have of being in heaven.
But Ellen, what can l do?
You're thinking of
Heathcliff.
Who else?
He's sunk so low. He seems
to take pleasure in being brutal.
And yet...
he's
more myself than l am.
Whatever our souls are made of, his and
mine are the same.
Linton's is as different as frost from
fire.
My one thought in
living is Heathcliff.
l am
Heathcliff.
Everything
he's suffered, l've suffered.
The little happiness he's ever known,
l've had too.
lf
everything died and Heathcliff remained...
life would still be full
for me.
Hey, Heathcliff!
Where's thee going?
Heathcliff! Come back!
He must have been listening.
- Listening to us? - Yes.
Where?
How much did he hear?
l'm not sure, but l think...
to where you said it would
degrade you to marry him.
There's no use in calling. He's run
away on master's best horse.
Come out of this storm! You'll catch
your death of cold!
- He
won't come back! - Last time he did!
This time he won't. l know him.
- Which way did he go,
Joseph? - Yonder. Right on west moor.
- Come in! You must come in. - The
fool.
He should have known
l love him. l love him!
Heathcliff, come back!
- Thank heaven you've come home! - l
told Joseph to stay awake!
- Do l unsaddle my own horse? - You've
got to go out again!
Miss
Cathy's gone! They're looking for her-- Joseph,
everybody!
- Gone where? -
Out in the storm, hours ago.
Heathcliff ran away. He took a horse,
and she went running after him.
- Oh, she did? - Yes.
Don't stand there with your mouth open.
Fetch me a bottle and we'll
celebrate.
Master Hindley, she'll die
on the moors.
- You've got
to help. - Do as l tell you!
lf she's gone off with that gypsy scum,
let her run.
Let her run
through storm and hell. They're birds of a
feather.
The devil can
take them both. Get me a bottle.
- Take her into the library. - Get a
fire in the east room.
And
some brandy.
Turn this
around to the fire.
- The
brandy, Miss lsabella. - Get some dry towels.
Quickly.
- Where was she?
- The rocks on Penistone Crag...
the life almost out of her.
Twenty drops in a glass of
claret, well warmed.
Then
add a lump of sugar. There's nothing else l can
tell you...
except keep
her in the sun and give her plenty of cream and
butter.
ln another month
you'll be feeling like new.
- Good-bye, dear. - Good-bye, Dr.
Kenneth.
She'll be going
home soon, Doctor.
What's
needed is peace and orderliness in her life.
That's not to be found at
Wuthering Heights.
- Has
she mentioned him at all? - Not since the delirium
passed.
Sometimes fever
can heal as well as destroy.
l made some inquiries in the village of
the people who knew him.
-
What did you hear? - No sign nor hint of
Heathcliff.
- He's
disappeared into thin air. - Heaven hope.
''... days and yon
pursuits.''
- Hello,
Edgar. - lsabella. How's our invalid?
- Much better l think. - Let me have a
look at her.
Where have
you been all day? l've missed you.
Oh, this time of year every tenant has
something to complain about.
l've been arguing with old Swithin...
whether we'd build him a
new pigsty.
Yes?
He decided we should.
l saw Hindley in the
village this afternoon.
He
wanted to know when you'll be coming home.
l wasn't very truthful. l
told him Dr. Kenneth said it would be months.
Give me that. lt's time for
her medicine.
What did Dr.
Kenneth say?
Twenty lumps
of sugar in a glass-- No. l'll go and ask Ellen.
Yes. Go and ask Ellen.
She's such a darling. But
you've all been so nice to me.
That's all l think about, how nice you
are to me.
But still, l
can't stay here forever.
Why not, Cathy...
if l can make you happy?
You have made me happy, Edgar.
You've given me so much of
your own self, your strength.
Darling, let me take care of you
forever.
Let me guard you
and love you always.
Would
you love me always?
Yes.
lt's so easy to love you.
Because l'm no longer wild
and blackhearted and full of gypsy ways?
- No. l-- - Of course you
were right, Edgar.
What
you said long ago was true.
There was a strange curse on me.
Something that kept me from
being myself.
Or at least
from being what l wanted to be--
living in heaven.
How sweet you are.
l've never kissed you.
No one will ever kiss me again but you.
