:09:01
Mr. Winthrop, are you actually
planning to marry my sister?
:09:06
Mr. Usher...
:09:08
...during the time we spent
together in Boston...
:09:11
it never occurred to me...
:09:13
And I dare say to
Madeline neither...
:09:16
...That we were not
destined to each other.
:09:19
When she left me she said to me:
"I will love you forever".
:09:24
Does it seem so incredible
that I would want to marry her?
:09:28
If you only knew how incredible.
:09:32
And I suppose this vision...
:09:35
...includes children?
:09:38
God willing...
:09:39
God willing?
:09:41
If you knew the nightmare you
are picturing for me, sir...
:09:44
- Nightmare?
- That's what I said.
:09:48
Why shouldn't Madeline marry
and have children?
:09:52
Because the Usher line
is tainted, Mr. Winthrop.
:09:56
- Tainted, sir?
- You saw Madeline and you see me.
:09:59
We are dying, Mr. Winthrop.
:10:03
As you saw her today she is
and she will remain...
:10:10
Believe me, sir... I bear you
no malice.
:10:14
Were things otherwise...
:10:16
...I should welcome to our
family joyously.
:10:19
But under the circumstances it
is quite impossible.
:10:23
But why do you assume that...
:10:25
...you are dying?
:10:28
There are many reasons.
:10:30
Pray, give me one then.
:10:36
Madeline and I are like figures
of fine glass.
:10:40
The slightest touch and we
may shatter.
:10:44
Both of us suffer from a morbid
acuteness of the senses.
:10:49
Mine is the worst, for having existed
along and the both of us are inflicted with it.
:10:54
Any sort of food...
:10:56
...more exotic than
the most pallid mashes...
:10:59
...unendurable to my
taste buds.
