American Horror Story, Season 4: Freak Show

Dot Tatler:
I am so tired of this life of ours, Bette. This infinite intolerable arranged marriage. Aren't you tired of it? And I don't want you dead. I don't. I just never dreamed it might be possible for one of us to live a normal life.

Bette Tatler:
Mother refused to buy us lace-up shoes 'cause she insisted we would never be able to tie them. But we spent hours working it out till we finally cracked it. Same with needlepoint. There was nothing we could not work through when we put our heads together. No one can understand our burden. You and I have endured a life that would've driven most people mad, but to me, it's been a gift, really. We've been given the opportunity to really love another person. To love them as you love yourself. And love is about sacrifice. It's answering the question how much would you give for the health and happiness of the one you love?

[Bette touches Dot's hand]

Bette Tatler:
I have the same longings as you. Same dreams of a normal life.

Dot Tatler:
You could never survive without me.

Bette Tatler:
I know. I would like to think I could. But I don't think I could actually stand being alone. And we're not bad people. We're good people, good girls, and we've seen so much suffering. We deserve a chance. And I know now that neither of us can have that if we stay like this. I would rather, one of us, truly live than both of us withering away together.

Dot Tatler:
What are you saying?

Bette Tatler:
Just that any man would be lucky to have you. And the Tatler sisters will not be defeated. And if it comes to it if they had to make a choice, during surgery, that only one of us would live I want to give my life to you, sister. I want to give my life so you can have one.

Dot Tatler:
[breaking down into tears] I love you, Bette!

Bette Tatler:
I love you, Dot.
