The Forbidden Girl Page #4

---

This coward is an intruder

but he won't admit it.

I'm not lying.

I swear that there was a man.

He couldn't speak.

He looked...

A little crazy.

Um, if he was in the yard,

he could be in this house.

He'd be here right now.

I should go check on the girl.

- You're not going anywhere.

- An intruder would be fatal...

So shortly before.

I must be sure the house

is safe and that Laura is safe.

Laura is safe.

Mmm, Mortimer.

A mute man was on the grounds,

the book is burned,

The window is broken,

And there was sunlight

in the house.

I just don't know who you are.

How should I trust someone

I cannot see?

My hands see more

than my eyes ever could.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

That's enough!

That's it.

All right, indeed.

You get your chance.

I like what I have seen.

I can't allow it.

He can stay.

You better go.

Learn more about the intruder.

Oh, um, if you need a hand

with the window,

Let me know anytime.

You know...

Back home we tell a story

about Father Courage

And his three sons.

The first son showed courage

only for his own benefit.

The father called him a coward.

What does your father call you?

Well, if he were alive,

he'd call you a dick.

Must see you before sunrise.

Follow the signs.

Are you my new tutor?

Don't you know me... ?

I'm Laura.

What are you doing,

Mr. McClift?

I hate to disappoint you.

It's not me.

I'd like to

start the lesson now,

or you should go.

We're gonna get out of here.

I don't have to do anything.

Let go of me!

Mortimer!

Mortimer!

She's forbidden!

Shh.

We really were a couple, right?

You remembered.

- It wa...

- In the graveyard.

We've got to get out of here.

Now.

I can unlock the doors.

I know the way.

Trust me.

I wanna kiss, stupid.

What are you having?

Shotgun?

With pleasure.

Stop, I'll shoot.

You... are not ready to kill.

Bullets?

When you meet evil

You have to be ready

to kill it.

How often have I told you...

son?

You are forbidden to love.

Affection, devotion,

self-sacrifice,

Everything feminine

is forbidden you.

True love is forbidden.

Help me, Toby.

I had a dream.

I cannot have you dreaming.

You betray me when you dream.

The dream gave me strength.

Look.

It's coming back.

And I'm not ready to die.

You will not die as long as you

don't betray me.

Don't forget who I am.

What I am.

- I cannot...

- You cannot?

You watch me take one step

closer to death every day.

That, you can do.

You watch the dawn each day

Rips out another part

of my soul.

That, you can do.

You watch me fade

across countless nights

That we spend together.

All that, you can do.

But you cannot,

Not for the single stroke

of a human heart,
