2. I Just Went There to Study Anatomy (第1季)【完整台词】

1 - She's here.

- She's here? Whoa! We had a bit of a drama here on Monday.

The little boy had to have his leg amputated.

Does she know about Briggs? He won't be able to collect the six monthly rents.

Is it wise to collect the rents? Why shouldn't I collect my rents? Because it's a man's job.

- I didn't know Miss Lister was back.

- Very much so, ma'am.

Have you ever met her, Ann? Once.

Years ago.

- We should pay her a visit.

- I'd like that.

Miss Walker, I've heard so much about you lately.

What do you know about coal? Well, I know you have a lot of it.

The Rawsons, they don't always play by the rules.

Wouldn't surprise me if they were stealing it off you already.

Miss Lister to see you, Miss Walker.

- Miss Lister.

- Miss Walker.

I was just passing.

Please, come in.

Sit down.

Do you know, I haven't been in this room for years.

- It was after my mother died.

You visited us.

- Was it? M my mother died, um, quite suddenly after my father.

I don't know if you remember.

Yes, you you came to tea for tea with me and my sister, Elizabeth.

We walked in the garden.

You you probably had no idea at the time, but you made my whole world a little bit brighter that day.

I remember it very distinctly; very fondly.

I do remember it.

I remember everything.

Well, do you remember me running after you? Remind me? I was so embarrassed about it afterwards.

I'm quite glad you don't remember.

It was on the Lightcliffe Road, and I spotted you, and I raced after you to invite you to tea.

Afterwards, I thought Oh, how silly and foolish I must have seemed to you.

Now you've said it, I only remember thinking how animated you looked.

Shall I sit here? You must miss your sister.

Yes, I do.

She writes as often as she can, but she has three little ones now.

- Three? - So of course, she's very busy.

Motherhood: - What a delight.

- Mm.

I'm very fond of children, but I'm not sure that I'd want to What? Give birth.

No.

No, it's not something I've ever felt compelled to do.

I dissected a baby once.

Sorry? In Paris.

- It was dead, obviously.

- Oh.

This was four years ago.

I was I am fascinated by the science of Georges Cuvier the anatomist and paleontologist? I couldn't attend university officially being the wrong sex, so he gave me private instruction in my attic apartment on the Left Bank.

I've always been fascinated by the human body, how it works, especially the brain.

The brain is the most extraordinary organ.

And when you see one, it's just meat, offal like the rest of our corporeal form.

And yet, what the brain does in one day, in one hour, in one second right now.

Everything you see, hear, think, feel, desire in any one moment is all processed and retained in this one lump of stuff inside the skull your skull, my skull.

You think about it.

Isn't it exciting that we can think at all? The brain of even the smallest animal is ridiculously sophisticated, but the human brain We have language.

We invent.

We analyze.

We build cathedrals and cities and society.

We write music and poetry.

We fall in love.

Aren't we lucky to be alive to have life? Isn't every tiny moment an inexplicable delight, packed with potential? - How do? - Um, oui.

Is, um, everything all right? Think she'd had the idea from somebody that Shibden was quite a bit grander than it is.

I don't think she'd understood that she'd be expected to turn her hand to a bit of all sorts.

And the other thing.

What other thing? - What, your Joe not told you? - What? Well, I've been told not to say owt.

- Pregnant.

- Eh? George Playforth's.

Does Miss Lister know? Would she be standing there ironing everybody's smalls if Miss Lister knew? Well, so what what's she gonna do? She swallowed a load of gin.

Goodness knows where she got it from.

It didn't work.

Has she not got any money to get back to her family with? They're in Rouen.

Well, tell Miss Marian.

I'm not telling anybody anything.

George's? She reckons he said he'd marry her as soon as they got back here.

Silly poor kid.

Aye, well What'll happen to her? She needs to find a kind fella with a Christian heart who will pretend it's his.

Only how? And why would anyone? No, I had no idea.

Oh, he's awful.

I thought you did.

- When? - When you got rid of him.

When you sent him outside to look at your horse.

Well, yes, I could see he was irritating you.

He's never touched me, as such.

It's just the way he looks where he shouldn't.

Oh, and the last time he was here, he was so close I could feel him breathing on me.

Well, then you don't send for him anymore.

You send for Dr.

Day or Mr.

Sunderland.

Oh, then there'd be the whole inquest into why.

From who? The tribe.

My aunt, Edwards, Priestleys, the Rawsons, the whole lot of them.

I didn't know you were related to the Rawsons.

My family's been very adept at strategic marriages over the years.

It's yet another reason why I'm such a disappointment to everyone.

- Are you? - My, uh I think so, yes.
