Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Page #2

-He will be in after dinner.

He asked me to make his excuses.

I hope the patient is worthy

of Jekyll's attention.

-A woman in the free wards.

-Free ward.

Jekyll gives entirely too much time

to his charity patients.

I love him for that.

Nonsense, my dear.

He ought to come down to earth.

-Mr. Utterson.

-Utterson.

However, I promised Harry the first waltz.

If he's late, I shall be furious with him.

No.

You know, I'm very glad Jekyll is late.

I'm obliged to him

for a most delightful waltz.

Thank you.

Hello, General.

I'm very sorry to be late, sir.

Repentance is a virtue, Jekyll,

but it's better to be punctual.

In 40 years, I've never been late for dinner.

It's indeed a remarkable record, sir.

Merely a matter of training, my boy.

At the age of--

General, you've not forgotten

this is our dance?

Certainly not, Lady Dakin.

I've been looking forward to it.

See you later, Jekyll.

May l?

-I shouldn't.

-But you will.

-Was she pretty?

-Ravishing.

-Who?

-Your patient.

I was thinking of someone else.

Someone to make you late again?

-Are you chiding me?

-Of course.

-Because you hate me?

-Of course, silly.

Then, will you come into the garden

where I can bear it?

-Certainly not.

-Why not?

-Father. He'd be furious.

-lt would do him good.

He's not looking.

He's teaching Lady Dakin how to waltz.

-Can't stay long.

-Just forever.

Not even half as long as that.

Now, my farthing,

chide me, mock me, hate me...

but don't send me away.

Silly. Are you sorry you were late?

-No.

-You're not?

-lf I wasn't late, you wouldn't have pouted.

-I won't forgive--

If you hadn't pouted,

you wouldn't have looked so pretty.

Do you talk this way to your patients?

If you hadn't looked so pretty,

I might have postponed....

-Pardon me.

-Not another word.

Well?

I might have postponed telling you

that I love you so much...

and I don't want to wait any longer.

I want you to marry me now.

Darling, I want to with all my heart.

You know I do.

But Father's so difficult.

I don't want to marry your father.

I don't mind

having a difficult father-in-law.

You'll be worth it, my darling.

I don't think you love me seriously.

I love you better than that.

I love you gaily, happily, high-heartedly.

I love you so much

that I could laugh and sing and....

I shouldn't spoil it by trying to sing.

My darling, I shall persuade your father

to let us marry now.

I can't wait any longer.

We shall go to Devon for our honeymoon

and live on love and strawberries...

and the sight of the sea.

-And moonlight.

-Endless moonlight.

I do love you seriously.

So seriously that it frightens me.

You've opened a gate for me

into another world.
