Penny Dreadful2014
[Lily and Mr. Clare talk for the first time, as Mr. Clare tells her a story of how they knew each other before]
John Clare:
I remember, one night, we were walking through the village... and we came across some men outside a tavern, drunken they were. And they saw me with you... and they laughed and pointed and said, how could the likes of her be with the likes of him.
Lily:
And what did you do?
John Clare:
[Lily begins to cry a tear] It was more what you did. You took my hand... and you held it. And you looked at them. Then you raised my hand to my lips... and you held it there.
Lily:
I don't remember.
John Clare:
And yet it happened.
Lily:
To someone else. I've no wish to cause you pain. Let us start by being friends, Mr. Clare. I can do no other.
John Clare:
[Victor Frankenstein listens, hidden behind the steps] I understand.
