Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Opening & Introduction to Wuthering Heights

• [00:35] The episode begins with Lux Radio Theatre’s traditional greeting, noting the occasion: "Tonight not only begins the 21st year of the Lux Radio Theatre…but we will present the first of our 20 great motion pictures of the past 20 years."

2. Setting the Scene

• [01:30] A traveler, Mr. Lockwood, lost on the Yorkshire moors, stumbles upon the mysterious Wuthering Heights manor. The atmosphere is immediately gothic and grim—a home haunted by suffering.
• Initial introduction of key figures: the brooding Heathcliff, his fearful wife Isabella, and the loyal servant Ellen.

3. Flashback: The Origins of Heathcliff and Cathy’s Relationship

• [05:10] Ellen begins the tale: Mr. Earnshaw brings Heathcliff, an orphan, home to Wuthering Heights. The children—Cathy and Hindley—react with suspicion and cruelty.
• Early scenes reveal the rawness of Heathcliff’s beginnings and his deepening bond with Cathy as outcasts on the moors.

4. Family Conflict, Class, and Growing Passions

• [09:20] Upon Mr. Earnshaw’s death, Hindley inherits Wuthering Heights and degrades Heathcliff, forcing him into servitude.
• Cathy’s divided loyalties and wild spirit are on display. “You ever cry when you’re hurt like other people?” (Cathy, [07:39])
• Heathcliff’s growing resentment and alienation establish the revenge to come.

5. Love, Betrayal, and Aspirations

• [12:30] Cathy is drawn to the refined world of Edgar Linton while Heathcliff stews in bitterness.
• Touching, pivotal exchange:
  • “Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.” (Cathy, [19:37])
  • “I am Heathcliff.” (Cathy, [19:54])
• Miscommunication and insecurity drive Heathcliff to leave when he overhears Cathy’s debate about marrying for status rather than love.

6. Return and Revenge

• [24:01] Heathcliff returns, seemingly transformed and wealthy. He has secretly purchased Wuthering Heights from the now-addicted, desperate Hindley.
• Edgar and Cathy’s marriage is threatened by Heathcliff’s return and his undiminished passion for Cathy.
• Notable line: "By the time I come back in the morning, I won't be stable." (Heathcliff, [09:56])

7. The Triangle: Isabella, Heathcliff, and Cathy

• [28:10] Isabella Linton is drawn into Heathcliff’s web, partly out of her loneliness and partly as Heathcliff’s weapon against Cathy, leading to a loveless and vengeful marriage.
• Ellen warns Isabella:
  • “He’s using you to be near me, to smile at me behind your back.” (Cathy, [30:11])
• Heathcliff is brutally honest about his motives:
  • “Every moment I hold her in my arms, when I kiss her, when I promise her life and happiness, you’ll be punished.” (Heathcliff, [31:32])

8. Death, Haunting, and Tragic Climax

• [34:10+] Cathy becomes mortally ill, her spirit broken by her divided love and past choices.
  • “If everything else in the world died and only his kiss remained, life would still be full for me.” (Cathy, [19:48])
• Cathy dies in Heathcliff’s arms, leading to some of the story’s most searing lines:
  • “If you die, Kathy, if you die, there will be no peace for me. Ever.” (Heathcliff, [42:04])
  • “I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!” (Heathcliff, [44:55])
• In the ghostly coda, it’s implied their spirits are reunited on the moors.

9. Epilogue & Star Reflections

• Brief talk about upcoming "Guys and Dolls" adaptation—including casting news of Marlon Brando (Sky Masterson) and a playful tease about the part of Nathan Detroit.
  • “You certainly made an excellent choice in casting Marlon Brando as Sky Masterson.” (Cast, [49:11])

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Luck presents Hollywood. Leave it on. His company, the makers of Lux Toilet Co brings you deluxe Radio Theater starring Merlo Brown and Cameron Mitchell in Wuthering Heights. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Irving Cummings. Greetings from Hollywood. Ladies and gentlemen. Tonight not Only begins the 21st year of the Lux Radio Theatre on the air, but we will present the first of our 20 great motion pictures of the past 20 years. Our opening masterpiece is Mr. Samuel Goldwyn's Tempestuous drama Wuthering Heights, one of the world's great love stories. And as our star we have beautiful and talented Merle o' Braun recreating her original role and one of the fastest rising young stars in Hollywood, Cameron Mitchell. Following our play, we will pay tribute to our special guest, Mr. Samuel Gold, who will tell us about his latest production, Guys and Dolls. Now Act One of Wuthering Heights, starring Merle Oberon as Kathy and Cameron Mitchell as Heathcliff. Desolate and lonely are the rolling moorlands of England where in the winter night the snowdrifts loom like giant spectres in the teeth of screaming gales. About 100 years ago, a stranger lost his way on such a night. Freezing, blinded and stumbling, he saw at last the fitful lights of an old manor house, aged and trembling on the hillside. In up desperately at the door it was opened by a doddering old butler who stood staring at him. Then, without a word, he led the stranger into the musty living room. There in the dim candlelight, a man and two women sat without moving. The man was tall and dark skinned like a gypsy. On his face the stamp of years, a bit of suffering. At last the man turned and spoke.

[Heathcliff]

Who are you? What do you want? My name's Lockwood. I've lost my way on the moors.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Strangers have no business on the moors

[Heathcliff]

at this time of year and no business here at any time.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

But I couldn't find a village. A man could die out there on

[Heathcliff]

a night like this. I'm afraid I'll have to stay until morning. Do as you please. Beg your pardon. I don't keep accommodations.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Mr. Cliff, you can't. He's our guest.

[Heathcliff]

Oh, then suppose you attend to his comfort.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Helen, show the gentleman to the guest room, please. The guest room, mistress? Yes. There's no other place. Why isn't that Mistress? This way, sir. Now, you hold the narrow, sir, while I unlock the door.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Of course.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Mind you don't stumble on the carpet.

[Heathcliff]

Ah.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

You call this the death chamber?

[Heathcliff]

It was once a trifle depressing.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Never light a fire. No fire will burn in that grate, sir. The chimney's been planned for years.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Must have been a fine old house then.

[Heathcliff]

What's it called?

[Ellen (Servant)]

This is Wuthering Heights, sir. And the tall chap downstairs with the piercing eyes? That'll be Master Heathcliff, sir. And the once lovely lady who looks at him with fear? That's his wife, Mistress Isabella. Well, good night, sir. If you want anything, there's the bell rope. My name is Ellen.

[Heathcliff]

Well, thank you, Ellen.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Good night.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

No, the cat's broken the wind.

[Heathcliff]

I heard a voice. Good heaven.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Didn't you hear that voice?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

A woman shouting she's lost on the moor.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

What's going on? A voice out there.

[Ellen (Servant)]

A woman crying that she's lost and she's come.

[Heathcliff]

She's coming. Being blast. Oh, Cassie. Cassie, wait for me.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Wait for me. He's not going out there in that storm.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

I'm coming.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

I'm coming. Cassie. Oh, but this is insane.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Come back. Cassie.

[Heathcliff]

Cassie.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Close the window there for that man out there.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Close the window. Am I mad?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Why did he go out there?

[Ellen (Servant)]

What was that voice? You heard him crying. It was Kathy.

[Heathcliff]

Kathy?

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Who is she?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Kathy is a girl who died.

[Heathcliff]

Oh, but I don't believe in ghosts, if that's what you mean. I don't believe in phantoms drop in the night.

[Ellen (Servant)]

You don't believe? Perhaps if I told you her story, you'd change your mind about the gift. Maternity. Tell me her story. It all began the day in the change Wuthering heights of the servant. That was 60 years ago. It was a sweet well checked estate. Dennis to Earnshaw was master. A fine man who Dearly loved his two children, Cathy and Himley. One day Mr. Earringshaw returned from Liverpool with a farming boy. He had picked up a dark habit looking gypsy lad was a most dreadful marks and beating him on his back. Mr. Earnshaw called for me the moment he arrived.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Give him a good scrubbing, Ellen. And put some of Hindley's clothes on him.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Yes.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Come with me, lad. Don't touch me. Let me Alone. Good.

[Heathcliff]

Now, now, now, son.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Ellen won't hurt you. You're safe here. No one will ever meet you again.

[Heathcliff]

And you'll always have plenty to eat. Hobby Farm Ponyt.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Get out of my way. Hello, Father.

[Heathcliff]

Well.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Henley Cathedral.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Papa. Who's that boy? Yes, who is he? Father?

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Children. This little guest will pay us a

[Heathcliff]

visit for a time.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

As long as he wants a home here.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

He's dirty.

[Heathcliff]

Look at him, Kathy. Don't make me ashamed of you, Hindley.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

He will sleep in your room.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

In my room? I won't let him. He's a dirty gift.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

That will do, Hindley.

[Heathcliff]

Take charge of the lad, Ellen.

[Ellen (Servant)]

And what was his name then, Mr. Emmett?

[Heathcliff]

His name? I think we shall call him Heathcliff. Yes, sir.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Come, Heathcliff.

[Ellen (Servant)]

That dark, brooding boy who never before had known kindness. Brought a subtle change to life at Wuthering Heights. The three children seemed to play well enough together. Going scamping off over the moor on their ponies. And climbing the crags together. But neither Kathleen or Hindley were open and friends anymore. And one day the children fought openly.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Your father gave me this morning. It's mine. Give me that pony, do you hear? Or I'll tell Father you boasted you turn this off when he died. That's a lie. I never said it. Of course he didn't.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

He did.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

He'll cheat us out of everything. You never had a father, you gypsy beggar. And you'll never get mine hidden it. Don't hit him.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

No, don't.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Don't.

[Heathcliff]

He's just without the other stone.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

There. Thank you. That'll teach you kindly.

[Heathcliff]

He's bleeding.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Serves him right. Sifting stump.

[Heathcliff]

He kissed.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Are you hurt? He hit me with that stone. He gets the problems. You ever cry when you heard like other people? Why should I cry? I'll pay him back someday. I don't care how long I wait. If I can only pay him back. These kids don't say those things. Come, Heathcliff. Now Hindy's gone, we can have our game at the castle again. I don't feel like playing at the castle. Please. You always smile and laugh when we're there. Come on, Heathcliff. Don't dance so, Heathcliff sitting inside me. This is our castle.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Cuffle.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

It's this penistone crag. You know it. To see your castle in your face in the sky. Tell me about it again. But it's all true. Cross my heart. Your father was Emperor of China and your mother a queen of India. You were kidnapped by wicked sailors and brought to England. Don't make fun of me, cousin. I'm not making fun of you. You're a really and truly prince. And I'm your slave. No. You're my queen, Kathy. And you'll always be my queen, you hear? Yes, Miss Kit. Your queen.

[Ellen (Servant)]

And that's the way they grew up. Wild and free, roaming the moors together. But he who grew more in the moor. Zealous. Cathy was 18 and Henry cast 21 when Mr. Earnshaw died. Good man. He never saw the evil of life. And he drew his Heathcliff like his own son. But on the very bowl of his funeral.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

You're not going into that room to look at my father's body.

[Heathcliff]

Why, he loves me more than you.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

He's past your wheedling now. I'm master of Wuthering Heights. If you want to stay here, we've need for a stable boy.

[Heathcliff]

A stable boy?

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

That or get out.

[Ellen (Servant)]

And that's what he became. Heathcliff, who had lived under this roof as one of the families was a stable.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Well, give me a hand up to my saddle.

[Heathcliff]

Very well, sir.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

You gypsy beggar. How many times must I tell you? That's better.

[Heathcliff]

By the time I come back in the morning, I won't be stable.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Scrubbed. Scrubbed. You understand? If you're not, I'll thrash you to my arm.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Drop. Lucia. Heathcliff.

[Heathcliff]

Yes, Kathy.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Oh, Heathcliff. I heard him.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

How much longer are you going to stand this?

[Heathcliff]

I don't know what you mean.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Look at you. Dirty and unkempt and in rags. Why aren't you a man? Why don't you run away?

[Heathcliff]

Run away? Couldn't you?

[Ellen (Servant)]

You could come back.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Leapfield, take me away. Why aren't you a prince like we said long ago? Why don't you rescue me, Heathcliff?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Kathy.

[Heathcliff]

Kathy. Come away with me now.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Now? Where?

[Heathcliff]

Anywhere.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

You mean, neat as we are, live in haystacks? Seen our food? Oh, no, Hestiff.

[Ellen (Servant)]

That isn't what I want.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Well, you just want me to go off alone.

[Heathcliff]

Oh, no, Kathy.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

No.

[Heathcliff]

That I won't do.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

I've stayed here since your father's death. I've been beaten and cursed like a dog. Abused and driven mad just so I

[Heathcliff]

could be near you. And like a dog, I'll stay to the end.

[Ellen (Servant)]

We run your dues with too much even for his great lottery disappeared. Kathy found the new world in her first introduction of Linden Manha with Edgar Linden and his sister Isabella. Both Kathy's in music and laughter were there and were the shape from W Heights. Edgar Linton fell madly in love with Kathy. They were constantly together. Then one evening Edgar brought Kathy home in the poem cart. As quickly as I could I tried to warn her.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

I hand down from the cart, Miss Kathy.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Thank you, Edgar. Oh, Ellen, we had the most marvelous time.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Kathy, come here. Excuse me, Nature. Something wrong, Ellen? He's Christopher, Mr. When did he come back? Last night. He talked so strange and here he is now.

[Heathcliff]

Hello, Kathy.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Mr. You said you'd stay away until you.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Why were you gone so long?

[Ellen (Servant)]

I didn't expect to find you here.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Why were you gone so long?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Why? Because I've met the Mintons and stayed at their house.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Because I've learned to dance. And because I've had a wonderful, delightful, fascinating time.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Are you a stable boy? Would you mind putting my horse up for an hour?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Yes, and you might wash your hands and comb your hair. He said so I needn't be ashamed

[Ellen (Servant)]

of you before a guest.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

And look after Mr. Linton's horse.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Let him look after his own horse.

[Heathcliff]

Staple fellow.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

How can your brother allow such a beast of a gypsy stable boy to act like this?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Beast of a gypsy stable boy?

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Of course. A roadside beggar giving himself airs of equality.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

What do you know about Heathcliff?

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

He doesn't have a misfortune is all I need to know.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

He was my friend long before you.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

That blackguard.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Blackguard and all. He belongs under our roof. And you speak well of him. Or get out.

[Heathcliff]

See?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Are you out of your senses, Miss? Out I said. Or stop calling those I love names.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Those you love that table boy.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Yes, Kelly.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Do you realize what you're saying?

[Ellen (Servant)]

I'm saying My, I hate you.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

I hate the look of your milk white face. I hate the touch of your soft foolish hands.

[Heathcliff]

Some of that gypsy's evil soul has gotten into you. I think some of that Degas dirt is on you. Yes, yes.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Now get up.

[Heathcliff]

Get up. Teddy.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Teddy. Please come back.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Miss Cattle.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Helen. Where is he? Where can he get him?

[Ellen (Servant)]

He's gone across the moors toward Penny's doing.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Crazy Heathcliff.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Heathcliff.

[Ellen (Servant)]

May have forgiven me.

[Heathcliff]

It was not your heart which broke Kathy.

[Ellen (Servant)]

No, my ruthless look at my heart is yours.

[Heathcliff]

Oh, Kathy. The clouds are lowing over the m. Yes.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

See how the night is.

[Heathcliff]

Kathy, you're such a part of this.

[Ellen (Servant)]

We belong to the moors, you and I. Oh, Heathcliff, make the world stop right here.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Make everything stop and stand still and never move again.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Yes, the moors never change. And you and I never change.

[Heathcliff]

The moors and I will never change. Don't you cat.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

No matter what I ever say or do.

[Ellen (Servant)]

This is I forever.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Smell the heather, Heathcliff. Fill my arms with heather. All they can hold.

[Heathcliff]

You are you are not thinking of that other world now?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Don't talk, Heathkin.

[Heathcliff]

Don't talk.

[Ellen (Servant)]

All this might disappear.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Ellen. Harriet. My hair's not nearly fixed yet. Supposing you're not ready. When your Mr. Linton gets here, any young man will come sniveling back after

[Ellen (Servant)]

the way you treated him.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

But I sent my apologies to him, didn't I? Of course he'll come. Oh, Cappy, I can't believe this change in you.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Just yesterday seemed you were a stupid harem scarum child with dirty hands and a willful heart.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

That's my other nature, Ellen.

[Ellen (Servant)]

I still have it.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

It used to fly around wild, but now I can cook into a cage whenever I want.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Heaven.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Since when are you in the habit of entering my room?

[Heathcliff]

Get out, Helen.

[Ellen (Servant)]

I will not. I take orders for you.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Well, now that we're so happily alone, may I know to what I owe this great honor?

[Heathcliff]

He's coming here again.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Who?

[Heathcliff]

That stupid fox. Lintonfire.

[Ellen (Servant)]

You're unbearable.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Utterly unbearable.

[Heathcliff]

Why are you dressed in silk?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Because gentle folk dressed for dinner.

[Heathcliff]

Why are you trying to win his purling flattery?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

I'm not a child anymore. You can't talk to me that way.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

I'm not talking to a child.

[Heathcliff]

I'm talking to Kathy. My Kathy.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Oh, I'm your Kathy.

[Heathcliff]

Yes, you are.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

And I'm to take orders from you, a dirty stable girl?

[Heathcliff]

Kathy.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Kathy, where's your heart?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

You had your chance to be something else. You left here once. Why didn't you stay away. Now. Let me alone.

[Ellen (Servant)]

That's right.

[Heathcliff]

That's right.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

The dirty stable boy can't come near you lest he soil your dress. But who soils your heart, Cassock? Who turns you into a cheap, vain, ambitious fool?

[Heathcliff]

Linton does.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

You let yourself be loved by him because it pleases your stupid, greedy vanity.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Parson, thief or beggar is all you

[Ellen (Servant)]

were born to be.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Leaning beside the road, begging for favors, not earning them, but whimpering for them with your dirty hands.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

All I am to you now is

[Heathcliff]

a pair of dirty hands.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Well, have them then. Have them where they belong.

[Heathcliff]

No, Kathy. It doesn't help to strike you.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Well, Heathcliff, I'll thank you to stay

[Ellen (Servant)]

out of my kitchen.

[Heathcliff]

Is Kathy's still with him?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Yes, he is. What's the matter with you?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

What?

[Ellen (Servant)]

You scare him.

[Heathcliff]

Oh, Ellen. Ellen. I want to crawl to her feet, beg to be forgiven for loving her, for needing her more than my own life. I don't care, Ellen.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

I don't care if she loves Linden

[Heathcliff]

or whom she loves. If she'll only look at me and say my name.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Oh, Ellen.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Ellen.

[Ellen (Servant)]

She's coming. Now.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Get out here.

[Heathcliff]

Now. Wait outside the door.

[Ellen (Servant)]

No, you can't.

[Heathcliff]

I want to be where I can see her.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Here. It's Clifford.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Ellen, where are you?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Here you are with. Has Mr. Linton gone?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Yes.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Yes.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Oh, Ellen, I have some wonderful news for you. Edgar has asked me to marry him.

[Ellen (Servant)]

And what did you say? I'm to give him my answer tomorrow. That is, do you not?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Of course.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Why?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Well, that's a silly question. Because he's handsome and pleasant to be with.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Not enough.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Well, then, because he'll be rich someday and I'll be the finest lady in the county.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Oh, Ellen, it would be heaven to escape from here. What about you, Henchliff? Beast?

[Heathcliff]

Cliff.

[Ellen (Servant)]

He gets worse every day. It would degrade me to marry him. I wish he'd never come back. What is that? I want nothing but a will, perhaps. Well, my darling, this master represents this beautiful home means heaven to you. You better enter that heaven and take your place among the Lincoln angels. The only thing is, I wonder if I belong in heaven. I dreamed once I was there and I broke my heart with weeping to come back to earth to the beat moors. The angels were so angry they flung me back. And I awoke on top of Wuthering Heights sobbing with joy. So, Adam, I suppose I've really no more business marrying Edgar than I have of being in heaven. But Ellen. Ellen, what can I do? You're thinking of it Clever? Who else?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

He seems to take pleasure in being mean and brutal.

[Ellen (Servant)]

And yet he's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. The little happiness he's known, I've known too.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

If everything else in the world died

[Ellen (Servant)]

and only his kiss remained, life would still be full for me.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Ellen. I am Heathcliff.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Who is Adam? I heard.

[Heathcliff]

Miss Cathy.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Miss Joseph.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Heathcliff's taken Master Hindley's best horse.

[Ellen (Servant)]

He's gone.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Gone? Ellen. Ellen. Did he hear what I said?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Yes. Did you care?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

How much did he care?

[Ellen (Servant)]

I'm not sure, but I think to where you said it would be brave you to marry. You

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

heathless. Heathen. Come back.

[Heathcliff]

Come back.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Heathless.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

On that stormy winter night a century ago, a traveler Lockwood sat in the musty guest room at Wuthering Heights, listening to the story told him by the old servant Ellen.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Good night. The 60s were doing talking rang far across after him, a bitter cold calling his name into the wind. Hours later in the morning, Edgar Linton found her half frozen in her silken party dress. For weeks after she was ill, the Lintons took her to their manor house and I was glad. Day by day, the strange influence that Heathcliff had had upon Kathy wore off and she was happy with X.

[Heathcliff]

Why can't you remain forever, Kathy?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Oh, Edgar. You and your sister. You've been too kind to me already.

[Heathcliff]

If I can make you happy by just being kind, that should be enough for me. After all, what else can I give you?

[Ellen (Servant)]

What else? You've given me a great deal else, Edgar. You've given me your own self, your strength.

[Heathcliff]

My strength.

[Ellen (Servant)]

You'd understand if you really knew what my life was before.

You held out your hand and led me back to a way of living I really never knew before. What you said long ago is true. There was a curse on me, Edgar, that kept me from being myself. Or at least from what I wanted to be. It kept me from living in heaven. There again. Do you understand now, Cathy, my darling,

[Heathcliff]

let me take care of you. Love you always.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Would you?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Would you love me always?

[Heathcliff]

Always, Kathy.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Then let's be married, Edgar. Oh, quickly, quickly. If the Lincoln home has seemed heaven to me before, I don't know what to call it. After she became as mistress.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

The only one who did not seem

[Ellen (Servant)]

completely happy was Edgar's sister, Isabella. A year or two after the marriage, the three of them sat in the drawing room. Edgar reading Isabella and Kathy quietly doing petty points when the door knocker sounded. When I saw who it was, I went back into the drawing room.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Yes, Ellen, what's the matter?

[Ellen (Servant)]

This is Cathy. Ms. Cliff has come back. Tell him I'm not at home, Ellen.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Not at home, darling? To whom?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

It's Heathcliff.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Heathcliff?

[Heathcliff]

M. Does he seem the same, Ellen?

[Ellen (Servant)]

No, sir. I hardly recognized him. Fine clothes. He seems quite fit.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Don't present Adam. I said I didn't wish to see him.

[Heathcliff]

Oh, nonsense, Kathy. It's been a long time.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Bygones. Must be bygones.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Yes. Let us see some kind of caller.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Throw him in.

[Heathcliff]

Ellen.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Yes, Edgar? This is a mistake.

[Heathcliff]

Cassie, your hands are trembling.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Are they?

[Heathcliff]

The past is dead, my dear. Don't hesitate to smile and be nice to him because I'll understand. It's my wife who loves me, who's mine.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Thank you, Edgar. You always understand, Mr. Heathcliff.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Come in.

[Heathcliff]

Hello, Catherine.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

How are you? Heathcliff, have you met my sister, Isabella?

[Heathcliff]

Oh, how'd you do, Miss Lincoln?

[Ellen (Servant)]

We are glad to see a guest, sir.

[Heathcliff]

Thank you.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Well, he. I must say, I've never seen such a complete change in a man. You seem to have buffered.

[Heathcliff]

Yes, I have.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

You must have found at least a gold mine.

[Heathcliff]

No, I merely remembered that my father was Emperor of China and my mother a queen of India.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Staying long in the neighborhood?

[Heathcliff]

I'm staying the longest. Rest of my life, really. I have just bought the horses, the cattle and the moors belonging to the estate known as Wuthering Heights. You mean Kevin's brother Henley sold out? Yes, but he doesn't know it yet. I imagine it will be a shock when Henry discovers his gambling and liquor debts were paid up for him by by his former stable boy, Henschliff.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

You can't have done that.

[Heathcliff]

That's as underhanded a piece of work as ever I heard of. If I'd known Hindley was in fact financial strait that his holdings were being stolen by a stranger. May I remind you, Mr. Edgar Linton, that I am not a stranger. I am merely a neighbor. Now I'll say good night.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Wait, Heathcliff. Well, I want you to know that we sometimes have friends who come here as guests, Edgar and I. You're welcome to come too, but not with the old scowl on your face or that old bitterness in your heart.

[Heathcliff]

Thank you, my dear friend Kathy, for the one. Oh, I. I just remembered. I forgot to congratulate you on your. Your marriage. May I now express my delight. Good night,

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Edgar. I think you've ever heard the bomb in a big. What? And you too, Tex.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

What in thunder do you mean?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Well, you could at least have been civil. You dismissed him as if he'd been a citizen.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Do you consider him anything else?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

I find he's grown fascinating and distinguished.

[Heathcliff]

Really, Isabella, I hope I misunderstand.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Well, you don't. We see all too few people. And I for once shan't be rude if he ever calls again.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Edgar, I. I greatly dread what the future will bring.

[Heathcliff]

No, nonsense, darling.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

I tell you, the past is de.

[Heathcliff]

That's all. Jesus. I'll occupy the master bedroom. Yes, sir. You'll stay on, of course. Thank you, sir.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Shall I pack Master Hindley's things?

[Heathcliff]

No. Just move them out of the master's bedroom. He'll remain under this roof. Master Hindley, sir? Yes. He gave me a roof once when I needed it. Joseph. I take it he's drinking a great deal.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Yes.

[Heathcliff]

Dr. Kennett has ordered him not to give him all the drink he wants. Yes, sir. A lady's waiting to see you, sir. A lady from Linton Manor, sir. Why didn't you tell me? In the future, you'll have announced visitors immediately. Oh, Ms. Linton.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Are you disappointed, sir?

[Heathcliff]

Not at all.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

I was passing by. My horse went lame.

[Heathcliff]

I see.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

I just want to tell you I'm

[Ellen (Servant)]

furious with my brother and Kathy. They received you most shamefully last night.

[Heathcliff]

Your brother didn't send you with this apology?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Oh, no.

[Ellen (Servant)]

In fact, he's forbidden me. To speak to me? Yes.

[Heathcliff]

And Cassidy also forbade you?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Yes.

[Heathcliff]

Then in all the moorland, you're my only friend.

[Ellen (Servant)]

I. I would like to be.

[Heathcliff]

Thank you, Ms. Linton. I enjoy frankness. You didn't come here to apologize.

[Ellen (Servant)]

And your horse didn't go lay, Frank.

[Heathcliff]

You came because you are lonely. Because the house you live in is too happily wedded for an outsider. Because it's no joy to ride the moors alone. Is that right? Yes. Then, my dear, you needn't be lonely anymore. Oh, you think it's strange that I should kiss you?

[Ellen (Servant)]

I don't know.

[Heathcliff]

You hated it.

[Ellen (Servant)]

No.

[Heathcliff]

I see you like frankness too.

[Ellen (Servant)]

The same strange power that Heathcliff had held over Kathy. He seemed to hold over Isabella too. Against her brother's wishes, she came often to Wuthering Heights. And she was seen many times with Heathcliff riding across moors. Then one night, there was a party at Linton Manor. Heathcliff had not been invited, but he came as a Isabella's guest. But his looks were all for Kathy. Dark, brooding looks, until the guest grew uncomfortable and left before the evening had well begun. Later that night, Kathy went to Isabella's room.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Isabella, may I come in? If you wish.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Are you getting ready for bed?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Yes. Oh, I can get a lovely. May I speak to you for a moment?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Well, Isabella, you behave disgracefully tonight.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

In what way, Mar?

[Ellen (Servant)]

It was bad enough asking Heathcliff here

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

without consulting or preparing you.

[Ellen (Servant)]

I forbid you but to throw yourself

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

at him the way you did, for you refused to dance with him. I had to dance every dance as a result.

[Ellen (Servant)]

You fool. You vain little fool.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Really, Kathy.

[Ellen (Servant)]

I'm going to open your eyes.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Isabella.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Don't you see he's using you?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Don't you see he's using you to be near me, to smile at me behind your back. To try to rouse something in my heart that's dead. It's you who are vain and foolish, Cathy. Heathcliff is in love with me. Yes. Alone.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

He's not.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

A lie. He's told me so. He's kissed me. Yes. Kissed me. Held me in his arms, Told me he loves me. I'm going to your brother.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Yes.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Go to Edgar. Tell him Heathcliff has asked me to marry him and that I have said yes. You hear? Yes. You can't, Isabella. He's not a man. He's something horrible and dark to live with. I know why you say such things. Because you love him. You're mad with jealousy at the thought of my marrying him. Because you want him to pine for you, dream of you, die for you while you're safe as the lovely Mrs. Edgar Linton. You want to hurt him, destroy him. But I want to make him happy. And I will.

[Ellen (Servant)]

I will.

[Heathcliff]

Sit down, Kathy. I won't say I'm not surprised to see you. Does Edgar Know he wouldn't approve.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Ceaseless. Is it true?

[Heathcliff]

Is what true?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Did you ask Isabella to marry you?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Did you? Ceaseless.

[Ellen (Servant)]

You mustn't do this villainous thing.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

She's never harmed you.

[Heathcliff]

No, Catherine, but you have harmed me.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Then punish.

[Heathcliff]

That's what I intend to do.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

How?

[Heathcliff]

Every moment I hold her in my arms, when I kiss her, when I promise her life and happiness, you'll be punished.

[Ellen (Servant)]

You'd marry her to do that?

[Heathcliff]

Yes. To teach you the ways of pain and the awful hell I'm in Heathcliff

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

if there's anything human left in you. Don't make me a partner to this crime.

[Heathcliff]

Kathy, if your heart were only stronger than your dull care for the and its conventions, I'd live silent, content in your shadow, begging for an occasional word or thought, as I used to do. But no. No, Kathy, no. You had to destroy me with that weakness you call virtue. You had to keep me tormented with that cruelty. You think so pious?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

How have I been cruel?

[Heathcliff]

You wished to be known as the finest lady in the county. You wanted your luxury and your light. At the same time, you wanted to keep me, your despairing lover, ruthless.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

That's not true.

[Heathcliff]

Now that I am returned, had you given me the smile of love, I might have been content. Well, now, Kathy, you needn't think of me as your despairing and foolish lover. You can think of me as Isabella's husband and be glad for my happiness, as I am.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

In the crumbling house on Wuthering Heights a hundred years ago, the candle burns low. In the dreary guest room, there is no sound but the Wind outside and the hushed voice of the old maid servant as she tells her story.

[Ellen (Servant)]

It was then that Isabella Lizzie came into this house as a bride.

[Heathcliff]

Yes.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Heathcliff married her out of revenge. The same revenge that made him keep him here. So he had, drinking himself into the grave. Isabella learned the reason for her marriage in his gift. But she was powerless to do anything. Then one day, Dr. Kenneth, an old friend, came to see her. He had come that morning from.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

I tell you, Isabella, go back where

[Heathcliff]

you belong, to Edgar's house.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Edgar disowned me, Dr. Kenneth.

[Heathcliff]

I know. But he needs you now.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Kathy is gravely ill. Really?

[Heathcliff]

Didn't you know?

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

But it's a matter of days now, perhaps hours.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

He can't be dying.

[Heathcliff]

Fever, inflammation of the lungs, this intense cold. And something else.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Something else?

[Heathcliff]

Yes. I'd call it the will to die.

[Ellen (Servant)]

If Kathy dies, I might begin to live, Isabella.

[Heathcliff]

Begin to live? In this house with Heathcliff, nothing can live.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

No, Hindley. Nothing but hate.

[Heathcliff]

So you seem to begin to live when Cassie dies. He won't.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Oh, Hindley. What is it?

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

This house.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

I can feel the hate within it like a crushing weight.

[Heathcliff]

Of course it Henley you.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

He hates you even more than he hates me.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Stop it.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

He loves you.

[Heathcliff]

Every time you kiss him, his heart

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

breaks with rage that it's not passing super dark.

[Heathcliff]

Isabella, why don't you do what I've been too weak to do? Kill him.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Don't talk to me.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Get away.

[Heathcliff]

Kill him.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Kill him while there's still time to save your immortal soul.

[Heathcliff]

Well, remarkable, Ridley Higley. It's the first coherent speech I've heard

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

from you in weeks.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Please, Dad. I tried to stop him.

[Heathcliff]

Thank you, my dear wife. Your loyalty is touching. Your curses will come home to feed

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

on your own heart. Every agony you've ever given will return. Laugh now, Heathcliff. There's no laughter in hell.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Heathcliff. Why do you have him here?

[Heathcliff]

My dear. Existence would be so much less without my boyhood friend under my roof.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Heathcliff, you poison yourself with paying him back. Send him away and love will come to this house. Kiss me, Heathcliff. Tell me you love me. Tell me, darling, why.

[Heathcliff]

Why isn't there the smell of heather in your head?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Let me come near you.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Please. I can make you happy, my darling.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Let me.

[Heathcliff]

Please.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

You'll never regret letting me try. I bring life to you. Life and sunshine and freshness.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Put your arms around. Look into my eyes.

[Heathcliff]

Your eyes are empty. Like Linton's.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

They aren't empty. You look beautiful. Look at me. I'm pretty. I'm a woman Let your heart sing Just once

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

oh, is now you God? God, why did you give me life? What is it but hunger and faith?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Mr. Isabella.

[Heathcliff]

What do you want here, Helen?

[Ellen (Servant)]

I've come from Linden Monagh to Mistress Isabella.

[Heathcliff]

Then you'll do so in front of me.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Her brother is asking that she come home for a visit.

[Heathcliff]

Oh, so he's lost some of his pride, has he?

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Well, there's none gone in this house.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Please, Mr. Sisabella, we need you.

[Heathcliff]

Please, sir. What is this? Ellen? Why does he need her?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Let go of me.

[Heathcliff]

Kathy's ill. She's dying. Kathy's dying?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Yes, she is dying. You're not going.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Yes.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Hell.

[Heathcliff]

My horse.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

No. She belongs to Edgar.

[Heathcliff]

She belongs to me.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

If she's dying, let her die in his arms where she belongs. Let her die. Let her die.

[Heathcliff]

Now who speaks of hate because of my way save.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

No.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

No.

[Heathcliff]

And there was a murmur from the height A far away and wild heartbroken moan the wings of Lucifer beat on the night the soul of Lucifer wept all alone. Shall I read some more, darling?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Now, Edgar, will you open the window, please?

[Heathcliff]

Won't it be too cold, please? And of course, my darling,

[Ellen (Servant)]

Now I can smell the heather and. Edgar, isn't there a south wind? And is it a snow? Oh, not car.

[Heathcliff]

Yes, quite calm.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Esther, will you get me something?

[Heathcliff]

Yeah. Missing your wish, my darling?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Some heaven. This beautiful patch near the castle that you'll catch from this.

[Heathcliff]

What castle, Kathy?

[Ellen (Servant)]

The castle on the moor. Of course. Bring me some from there.

[Heathcliff]

You're in a fever, my dear. There's no castle on the moorland.

[Ellen (Servant)]

There is on the little hill beyond Wuthering Heights.

[Heathcliff]

Denison Crane.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Yes, yes. Please go now.

[Heathcliff]

Why do you call it a castle?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Because I was a queen there. 1.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Will you bring me the havoc?

[Heathcliff]

If you'll rest while I'm gone. And sleep.

[Ellen (Servant)]

You're so kind. So good.

[Heathcliff]

My darling.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

You made me the finest lady in the county.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Such lovely clothes. I've always adored that velvet dress the most. Wasn't it a wonderful dress, that girl?

[Heathcliff]

Wonderful when you wore it.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Go now, please. Get new hat,

[Heathcliff]

My dear Kathy. I'll be back with the heather you want.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Where is she?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Where is Catherine?

[Heathcliff]

She's not to be disturbed, sir.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Master Edge has gone for the doctor.

[Heathcliff]

Cats.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Oh, boy. Cat. He's coming. I. I dreamed you'd come before I died. And when you came in my dream, you scowled at me once more.

[Heathcliff]

Oh, Kathy.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Because it hurts so much. See me die.

[Heathcliff]

Please, Kathy. Please don't hurt me.

[Ellen (Servant)]

How strong you look.

[Heathcliff]

Left.

[Ellen (Servant)]

How many years do you think you'd live on after me?

[Heathcliff]

Oh, Kathy, you're my life. Myself.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Oh, my God. Don't let me go. If only I could hold you.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Oh, please, Kathy, don't think of death.

[Ellen (Servant)]

We never be happy when I'm in beer. Deborah, you say this is the grave of Catherine Earnshaw? I loved her long ago, but to lose her, I don't.

[Heathcliff]

Yes. Oh, darling. I could as soon forget you as my own life. If you die, Kathy. If you die, there will be no peace for me. Ever.

[Ellen (Servant)]

God damn it. Please. I want God to escape.

[Heathcliff]

Why did you betray your heart, Kathy?

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

You killed yourself. No. I'll not comfort you. You deserve this.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

You

[Ellen (Servant)]

don't break my heart.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

I never broke your heart, Kathy.

[Heathcliff]

You broke it in my tears.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

They don't love you, Kathy. They blight and they damn you. You loved me.

[Ellen (Servant)]

What right.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

What right had you to throw away

[Heathcliff]

my love for that.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

That poor fancy thing you felt for him?

[Heathcliff]

I found out he's misery and death

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

and all evil could have never parted us.

[Heathcliff]

Kathy, you did that alone.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

You wandered off like a greedy child to break your own heart and mine.

[Ellen (Servant)]

I know you did.

[Heathcliff]

Okay.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Oh, Catherine.

[Heathcliff]

Oh, my, my Catherine. I do forgive you. I love you. I love my victory.

[Ellen (Servant)]

He's just carry me to the window. Let me look at the Morris prettier once more. Oh, my darling. Just once more.

[Heathcliff]

It's my God of you.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Oh, darling. Kind of. Over there. Our castle, remember? I'll never forget the castle here. I'll be waiting there until you come. I'll be waiting there till you come.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Oh, no.

[Heathcliff]

Oh.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Quickly. They're coming. Master Edgar. For heaven's sake, go and Charlie.

[Ellen (Servant)]

You.

[Heathcliff]

You're dead. My Cathy. May your soul hear this before I go.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

May you not rest so long as I live on.

[Heathcliff]

I kill you, Kathy.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Then heartbreak be with me always haunt me. Only don't leave me where I cannot find you.

[Heathcliff]

I cannot live without my life. I cannot live without my soul.

[Ellen (Servant)]

And though that was 20 years ago, I can still hear and see that wild hour with poor Heathcliff holding the dead body. Dear beloved. Trying to tear away the veil of life and death. Crying out to Kathy's soul to haunt and torment him until he dies.

[Heathcliff]

Then the strange voice that I heard was Kathy. And Heathcliff went to follow her into the storm.

[Ellen (Servant)]

It wasn't Kathy herself, but her love. Just with love stronger than kind. Stopping for its only baby. Who's there?

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

It's Dr. Kenneth. Open the door.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Dr. Kenneth. What's the matter?

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

I was just Crossing the moor on my way home.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Did you see him?

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Yes, I saw him from my carriage. He was wandering through the snow with a woman.

[Ellen (Servant)]

A woman?

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Yes. They were walking through the storm with their arms about each other. I started toward them. I was nearly up to them when of a sudden my horse reared and plunged. And then? Then I found him alone, lying in the snow.

[Heathcliff]

Heathcliff was dead dog.

[Ellen (Servant)]

By the castle. By the Penistone crag.

[Heathcliff]

Yes. However did you know?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Look down my vision. This is really our castle now. And I will always be your queen.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Remember, he said your father was an

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

emperor of China and your mother a queen of India. We have our castle now, heathen. And our love. Now and forever.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

In a moment our stars will return. Mr. Cummings will present his movie preview of the week. Thank you, Merv Oberon and Cameron Mitchell for making Wuthering Heights even more memorable by your fine performance. And now, may I introduce the great producer of motion pictures, an outstanding artist, gentleman and showman, Mr. Samuel Goldwin.

[Heathcliff]

Thank you, Irving. I thoroughly enjoy the show. And Merle dear, you just wonderful.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Thank you, Sam.

[Heathcliff]

Listening to you took me back to the time we did the picture together. Your performance tonight were just as great as it was then. And thank you, Cameron Mitchell, for doing such a fine heat for. Thank you. Wuthering Heights is still a great love story. The greatest of a cold at the screen. Certainly is. Mr. Goldman, why don't you bring back Wuthering Heights? There are so many people who would like to see it.

[Ellen (Servant)]

I expect to do bring it back, Sam.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

People are always asking me when they

[Ellen (Servant)]

can see it again.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

And to see beautiful Merle Oberon in a lovely luxe complexion.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

It is a luxe complexion Early I was introduced used Lux when I first came here from England and it's been my favorite toilet soap ever since.

[Heathcliff]

Now that we're on the subject of dolls, when are you going to bring out Guys and Dolls?

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Sometime next year.

[Heathcliff]

I'm preparing them now and expect to start photographing early next year.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Guys and Dolls is one of the biggest hits on Broadway of the past few seasons. The rights to film it must have cost a lot.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

I understand you paid over a million dollars for the picture rights.

[Heathcliff]

That's right, I did.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

No wonder you're so careful with the casting.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

You certainly made an excellent choice in casting Marlon Brando as Sky Masterson.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Will Marlon sing and dance?

[Heathcliff]

He will the first time musical. But Marlon can do anything for my

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

money and for mine. I just finished making a picture with

[Ellen (Servant)]

him and he's wonderful.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

I'm also interested in the Girls Rose. Don't you have anyone in mind for Ms. Adelaide?

[Heathcliff]

Sam, I've made a decision and I'm sure the public will delight it at my choice. And for your information, she'll have a lovely lush complexion. How about the part of Nathan Detroit? That's perhaps to remain a secret for a while.

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Well, I know the picture will be done as only Sam Goldwyn can do it in a way that has always set such a high standard for all Hollywood to follow.

[Heathcliff]

Now. Thank you, Irving. Now tell me, are you content continuing with your high standard next week and presenting another great motion picture?

[Radio Announcer / Narrator]

Yes, Anne. It's one of Warner Brothers finest pictures of last season. Edna Thurber's great novel so Big. And as our stars we will have one of the most accomplished artists in Hollywood Idolapino co starring with one of our most handsome leading men, Robert Stack.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

That should be a wonderful show.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Good night.

[Heathcliff]

Good night. It certainly will. Good night.
