The Dragon's Lair

“I mean to please you, Elizabeth” “I know it, John” The Crucible quotes 2/x

“I have a sense for heat, John, and yours has drawn me to my window, and I have seen you looking up, burning in your loneliness. Do you tell me you’ve never looked up at my window?” “I may have looked up.” The Crucible quotes 1/x

“I leave the rehearsal room – and I carry him with me, I carry his thoughts, I dream his dreams a little bit.”

Richard Armitage (x-x)

”Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!”

Proctor: I am only wondering how I may prove what she told me, Elizabeth. If the girl’s a saint now, I think it is not easy to prove she’s fraud, and the town gone so silly. She told it to me in a room alone- I have no proof for it.

Elizabeth: You were alone with her?

Proctor: (stubbornly) For a moment alone, aye.

Elizabeth: Why, then, it is not as you told me.

Proctor: (his anger rising) For a moment, I say. The others come in soon after.

Elizabeth: (as if she has lost all faith in him) Do as you wish then. (she turns)

Proctor: Woman. (she turns to him) I’ll not have your suspicion any more. 

Elizabeth: (a little loftily) I have no-

Proctor: I’ll not have it!

Elizabeth: Then let you not earn it. 

Proctor: Now look you-

Elizabeth: I see what I see, John.”
