got your fair share of the world's gear.
"Now, you mind yourself
and don't obstruct me!"
It sounds like megalomania, Rupert.
I must go and dress for lunch.
Don't be late, Rupert.
Oh.
So this is Hermione's country cottage.
Well, there's one reason
Rupert's attracted to her.
Oh. Do you think so?
I don't think that.
Lovers have sold their souls
for far less, my dear.
At least here you will have
an opportunity to observe nature.
Gudrun Brangwen.
Gerald Crich.
Tibby and Laura Lupton.
Ursula Brangwen.
Rupert Birkin.
Rupert Birkin.
Peculiar names we all have.
Do you think we've all been singled out?
Chosen for some
extraordinary moment in life.
Or are we all cursed
with the mark of Cain?
I'm afraid Ursula was a martyred saint.
It's always been
rather difficult to live up to.
And who is Gudrun?
In a Norse myth, Gudrun was a sinner
who murdered her husband.
Will you live up to that?
Which would you prefer me to live up to,
Mr Crich? The sinner or the murderer?
Ah,
I see the perpetual struggle has begun.
Oh, we all struggle so, don't we?
The proper way to eat a fig,
in society,
is to split it in four,
holding it by the stump,
and open it,
so that it is a...glittering, rosy,
moist, honeyed, heavy-petalled,
four-petalled flower.
Then you throw away the skin,
after you have taken off the blossom
with your lips.
But the vulgar way...
is just to put your mouth to the crack
and take out the flesh in one bite.
The fig is a very secretive fruit.
it stands for the female part,
the fig fruit.
The fissure. The yoni.
The wonderful...
moist conductivity towards the centre.
Involved...in-turned.
One small way of access, only,
and this, close-curtained from the light.
Sap that smells strange on your fingers,
so that even goats won't taste it.
And when the fig has kept her secret
long enough...
...so it explodes
and you see, through the fissure,
the scarlet.
And the fig is finished. The year is over.
That's how the fig dies.
Showing her crimson
through the purple slit.
Like a wound.
The exposure of her secret
on the open day.
Like a prostitute,
the bursten fig
makes a show of her secret.
That's how women die too.
Would you like to come for a walk?
Would you like to come for a walk?
The dahlias are so pretty!
Will you come for a walk, Rupert?
No...Hermione.
But are you sure?
- Quite sure.
- And why not?
Because I don't like
trooping off in a gang.
But the dahlias are so pretty.
I've seen them.
Then we'll leave a little boy behind,
if he's sulky.
Goodbye!
- Goodbye, little boy!
- Bye!
Impudent hag.
Have you ever really loved...anybody?
