Penny Dreadful2014
[the Cut-Wife asks Vanessa one last question before she can enter her home]
Joan Clayton:
I have a scar on my back. Tell me how I got it. Tell me.
Vanessa Ives:
How am I to know?
Joan Clayton:
[the Cut-Wife pulls Vanessa's head to her finger tips] Right here. You go right here inside your mind. Close those eyes. You feel my spine through my fingers. Do this or turn around and take your pretty c*nt elsewhere. Do this, I tell you! That's it girl. Good. You're strong-willed, and agile. Like the scorpion. Feel around my skull with your claws. Yes. Behind my eyes, you feel my bones down my spine.
Vanessa Ives:
[Vanessa whispers] Yes.
Joan Clayton:
Now feel out to my skin. To my past, to my pain.
Vanessa Ives:
[Vanessa whispers louder] Yes.
Joan Clayton:
What do you feel?
Vanessa Ives:
A woman. Her nails on your back. No, no, not her nails. Hotter, burning.
Joan Clayton:
Yes.
Vanessa Ives:
[the Cut-Wife let's go of Vanessa] Burning. Burning my skin! A branding iron.
Joan Clayton:
[the Cut-Wife walks back to her house] You can enter now. Leave everything you were outside this door. Everything you are, bring with you.
