the prime of miss jean brodie Flashcards
(15 cards)
LLOYD
How graciously you put it.
SANDY
And if she knew I were sitting for you instead of Jenny, they would have to take her away in a net.
LLOYD
In a net!
SANDY
I think I’ll start a whispering campaign.
LLOYD
Why should you want to hurt her?
SANDY
You have instinct, Teddy, but no insight. She’s not magnificent. She’s a ridiculous woman!
LLOYD
There is no contradiction in being both ridiculous and magnificent. Your young mind will have to stretch a but to grasp that.
SANDY
I think that my mind has stretched astonishingly to able to discuss, at sixteen the enduring passion of my lover for another woman
LLOYD
Jean is a magnificent specimen.
SANDY
She’s crackers!
LLOYD Believe what I am telling you.
SANDY I believe you. I even believe you are bewitched. I am not sure about God, but I am now quite sure about witches.
LLOYD No Sandy- wait! I cannot help myself, Sandy. Believe me– it has nothing to do with what I feel for you.
SANDY Even the skin tones are hers. It is not even my skin. I never really believed you loved me … But i thought–i really thought that you–desired me. Desired me.
LLOYD I did- I mean I do!
SANDY
It might just as well have been Jenny after all. It would be the same with anyone. Well, Lloyd. I congratulate you on the economy of your style. Simply use whatever is at hand. Miss Brodie does it too. I used to be fascinated by the variations of her Hugh-who-fell-in-Flanders-Field love story… First she would give him the talents of the art master, and then the singing master. How similar your techniques are! Very instructive!
