Billie Piper: Lily

Quotes 

• [Lily and Mr. Clare talk for the first time, as Mr. Clare tells her a story of how they knew each other before] 

  John Clare : I remember, one night, we were walking through the village... and we came across some men outside a tavern, drunken they were. And they saw me with you... and they laughed and pointed and said, how could the likes of her be with the likes of him.

  Lily : And what did you do?

  John Clare : [Lily begins to cry a tear]  It was more what you did. You took my hand... and you held it. And you looked at them. Then you raised my hand to my lips... and you held it there.

  Lily : I don't remember.

  John Clare : And yet it happened.

  Lily : To someone else. I've no wish to cause you pain. Let us start by being friends, Mr. Clare. I can do no other.

  John Clare : [Victor Frankenstein listens, hidden behind the steps]  I understand.

• [last lines] 

  Dr. Victor Frankenstein : [Lily jumps into Victor's bed with the outside thunder crashing and cracking down]  Lily? What is it?

  Lily : [Lily speaks from under his blanket]  The storm.

  Dr. Victor Frankenstein : [Lily curls up into Victor's chest and he holds her in his arm]  It's all right. Don't worry, you're safe. You're safe.

  Lily : Thank you, Victor. I'm so silly.

  [Lily and Victor remain silent as they begin to kiss each other on the lips] 

  Lily : [the two pause as Victor sits up to look away, looking back as Lily starts to open up her corset, laying Victor's hand over her chest, the two slowly continue to kiss with the lightening flashes, pulling each other closer as Victor lays over Lily kissing her passionately]
