When will I find the Katherine to my Mr Chips (I’m literally him btw) 💔
K: “You would catch me scrambling eggs! It’s no way to play this scene.”
C: “I do not understand what you mean by that. I’ve only come to tell you that I love you, that I cannot live without you.”
K: “Your grammar is too perfect, your prose style too impeccable.”
C: “You can’t qualify superlatives.”
K: “Can’t you?”
C: “Well you can, if you want to. You can do anything if you want to; you’ll still remain, for me, the only person in the world I’ve ever loved, or ever will love. Why did you run away?”
K: “I said it all outside that assembly hall. I told you then I wouldn’t ever disgrace you, ever, ever, ever.”
C: “That might just, but only just, explain why some girls in your position might have deserted their duty through sheer, paralysing, bloody, funk. It didn’t explain why you did.”
K: “Well, I did desert it. Isn’t that proof enough?”
C: “No. I think those eggs are burning-“
K: “Then let them. Mr Chips, I love you very much, you know that, don’t you?”
C: “Yes.”
K: “And you think I ran away from you because of sheer, paralysing, bloody funk?”
C: “Yes.”
K: “You don’t think it mightn’t have been just because I do love you?”
C: “Yes, but it was still funk.”
K: “Chips, you don’t know-“
C: “Yes I do know. I know all about Sutterwick and his threats to tell the governors about your past, and I know all about your unsuitability- horrible word-, both our unsuitabilities. The plural is even worse. But how you could ever imagine a word like suitability- which is only in Webster, mind you, not in the Oxford, or is it?- could ever prevail over a word like love; which is in all the dictionaries- there’s no earthly reason to cry, you know.”
K: “Of course there isn’t. You must’ve been all over the place looking for me.”
C: “Here and there. I demanded and took a fortnight’s leave.”
K: “You, who never cut a class in your whole life… took a whole fortnight?”
C: “I’d have taken a lifetime.”
K: “Oh Chips, you’ll lose everything you hold dear.”
C: “Everything I hold dear I’m holding right now.”
