Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Page #3

Before that, my work was everything.

I was drawn to the mysteries of science,

to the unknown.

But now, the unknown wears your face...

Iooks back at me with your eyes.

Darling, I wish this moment

would last forever.

You can make it last, dear. I love you.

Be near me always.

Always you and l.

Apart from the world.

I love you, darling.

I love you.

Then who shall ever separate us?

-My sweet friend.

-My love.

You ought to wear

squeaky shoes, Hobson.

Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

The General asks you

to come into the house, miss.

-Your guests are inquiring about you.

-Coming, Hobson.

-Glad you came.

-Good night, Muriel.

-You looked perfectly lovely tonight.

-Thank you.

-Good-bye, my dear.

-Good night, General.

I don't know

when I've enjoyed myself so much.

-I'll see you at tea tomorrow, dear.

-Yes. I won't forget, Lady Dakin.

-Good night.

-Good night.

Jekyll, my boy. Waiting to see me?

I beg your pardon, sir,

but you would make us very happy...

if you'd set an earlier date

for our wedding.

I've already announced to you...

that you would be married

on the anniversary of my own wedding.

-That's eight months from now, sir.

-What of it?

We've already been engaged

two months, sir.

We see no reason to--

I presume I have some rights

in the matter.

-Quite right. That's why we're asking you.

-Why this impatience?

It isn't done.

I'm sorry, sir, but I cannot regard that

as a serious objection.

Do you hear this, Lanyon?

Is this another evidence

of your eccentricity?

If it is eccentric to be impatient

in love, sir, I am.

This is positively indecent.

Father, do you think it fair

to keep us apart for so long?

-I waited five years for your mother.

-You have a sturdy temperament, General.

Yes, I pride myself on it.

Please don't make me wait that long

for Muriel.

Now, my boy, you must leave

these matters to me.

There's such a thing

as decent observance, you know.

-Good night.

-Good night, sir.

-Good night, Lanyon.

-Good night, sir.

Au revoir, my sweet.

Come, Lanyon.

-Good night, Muriel.

-Good night.

-I'm afraid you offended the General.

-Offended him?

It's a pity I didn't strangle the old walrus.

Did you hear him? "Wait!"

What the devil does one wait for?

I hope the responsibilities of marriage

will sober you up.

I'm not marrying to be sober.

I'm marrying to be drunk.

-Drunk with love and life and experiments.

-Your experiments are absurd.

You have no interest in science at all.

You have no dreams, no curiosities.

There are bounds beyond which

one should not go.

Yes. It isn't done, I suppose.

I tell you, there are no bounds, Lanyon.

Look at that gas lamp.

But for some man's curiosity,
