The House of Usher
- Sir?
- I should like to see Miss Usher.
I'm afraid that's not possible, sir.
Miss Usher is confined to her bed.
- She is ill?
- Yes, sir.
- Is it serious?
- Sir?
My name is Philip Winthrop.
Miss Usher and I are engaged
to be married.
You cannot?
- By whose order?
- Mr. Roderick, her brother.
- He has expressly forbidden...
- Well then I should speak to him.
Yes, sir. You're our guest.
Come in.
Your coat, sir.
If you'd just follow me.
Yes? What is it?
Your boots, sir.
- What about them?
- Do you mind... taking them off?
Taking them off? What on earth for?
I am sure Mr. Roderick will explain
it to you, sir.
A strange request.
This is the first time I've
ever been...
Sir.
If you'd care to put these on, sir.
Thank you
And if we may go now...
This way, sir.
What is the meaning of this?
I... This is Mr. Winthrop, sir.
How dare you admit anyone
into this house.
I insisted, sir. I felt I had
the right.
Well, we can't talk out here.
Please, come in.
- I gather you know who I am.
- If you'd please...
Mr. Winthrop... softly.
An affliction of the hearing.
Sound of any exaggerated degree...
...cut into my brain like knives.
My apologies.
I'm afraid you are going
to leave, Mr. Winthrop.
I've come to see Madeline.
That is quite impossible
She is confined to her bed.
Mr. Usher, your sister and I
are betrothed.
- It was a mistake.
- I don't believe that.
Please, don't argue with me, sir.
You must leave this house now.
you to be.
Mr. Usher...
I have ridden all the way
from Boston to see Madeline...
- ...and I do not intend to
leave without seeing her. Now, if...
- Philip!
Madeline...
Madeline, in Heaven's name,
you must return to your bed.
Madeline...
You came all the way just
to see me?
Yes, to see you.
Madeline, I must insist.
- We shall talk later, Philip.
- Mr. Winthrop is leaving.
- Leaving?
- I'm not leaving.
He must stay, Roderick.
Please, let him stay,
Roderick.
Very well, he will stay.
Now, for pity's sake,
return to your bed
What happened?
the screen.
Does it?
I was just admiring this
painting here.
- Is it your own work?
- It is.
And... you also play this lute.
I do.
Mr. Winthrop, are you actually
planning to marry my sister?
Mr. Usher...
...during the time we spent
together in Boston...
And I dare say to
Madeline neither...
...That we were not
destined to each other.
When she left me she said to me:
"I will love you forever".
Does it seem so incredible
that I would want to marry her?
If you only knew how incredible.
And I suppose this vision...
...includes children?
God willing...
God willing?
If you knew the nightmare you
are picturing for me, sir...
- Nightmare?
- That's what I said.
Why shouldn't Madeline marry
and have children?
Because the Usher line
is tainted, Mr. Winthrop.
- Tainted, sir?
- You saw Madeline and you see me.
We are dying, Mr. Winthrop.
As you saw her today she is
and she will remain...
Believe me, sir... I bear you
no malice.
Were things otherwise...
family joyously.
But under the circumstances it
is quite impossible.
But why do you assume that...
...you are dying?
There are many reasons.
Pray, give me one then.
Madeline and I are like figures
of fine glass.
may shatter.
Both of us suffer from a morbid
acuteness of the senses.
Mine is the worst, for having existed
