Dickinson (2019) - Season 1 Edit

A big one.

A Chapel was built in the midst Where I used to play on the green"

A character, to me, is a soul.

A cousin of mine, she knows a family in Boston. They're looking for a governess.

A dude chasing a whale.

A family of our station, I mean, it's utterly expected that we should have help.

A father worries, you know?

A female poet.

A gentleman?

A husband would put a stop to that.

A junior at the school, a girl who had just been born again...

A laboratory on a volcano?

A lady needs a companion. And...

A leaf fell in the fireplace?

A letter?

A life of absolute solitude, alone in nature.

A literary reputation, Emily?

A little.

A man of...

A man only needs one set of clothes, you know.

A narrow victory

A painter? Heavens

A party. There was an abundance of cherry rum

A pig farmer from South Hadley.

A poem by Austin Dickinson.

A poem that I wrote...

A poem.

A poet's definition of love.

A professor, you say?

A quick one, I suppose. In my office.

A sleeping mountain becomes a...

A wedding ring as freedom.

A whole city covered in ash.

A woman should receive an education, to be sure.

A wonderful chicken, Mrs. Dickinson.

Abiah?

Abigail, Harriet, Jenny, Fanny, Virginia.

About getting married.

About how he feels

About me not being sick.

About what?

About you.

Abyss.

Aching. It's like thunder.

Actually, it's not that I hate cooking.

Actually, there are tons of women publishing nowadays.

Actually...

Again.

Ah the Sea!

Ah Little Rose

Ah, what difference does it make? They're all dead now.

Aha. And you said...

Alas, I have work.

All I want is to marry you.

All I'm saying is, I would be afraid to marry someone who's...

All it takes is being very good and well behaved and then you go to heaven.

All right, ladies, time to clear out

All right, then.

All right, then. I'll bring them back tomorrow.

All right.

All right.

All right. Good luck figuring all this out today.

All right. I see.

All right. Must be off.

All right. My office.

All right. So, you want to scoop out one cup.

All she did was sit and sew

All the flies are gone.

All the napkins are downstairs.

All the way to Concord? Why?

All this time we've spent together,

All those years together in school.

All while I got to do exactly what my heart desired.

Almost 2,000 of them, hidden in a maid's trunk.

Almost as much as I love you.

Alone.

Already? It's still months away.

Also got some taffy.

Although, by the look of this table, maybe you don't.

Always there for me to cuddle when I felt like it.

Amen!

Amherst is getting the iron horse

An engagement gift.

An unmarried man my age?

An8}Because I could not stop for Death

An8}Kept treading treading till it seemed

An8}The Truth's superb surprise

An8}Which shortened all the miles

And a few glasses of wine, am I right?

And a million men will die.

And a sister is good enough for you?

And about three quarters of an ounce of granulated zinc.

And all the Dead, lie down

And all the fields

And all the meadows wide

And although I was betrothed to your mother,

And anti immigrant nativist anxiety.

And as far as these Know Nothings go,

And as long as you live under this roof, it is your job too.

And as soon as that train is up and running...

And aside from everything else, Othello is black.

And Betty's made me the most beautiful dress.

And burned down the woods.

And by "weird" do you mean beautiful?

And calm down, Ben! It's okay. Let me just get this open.

And cook and bake, and tend to me when I'm feeble.

And cooked meals that ranged from adequate to downright appetizing?

And cross out anything that might be controversial

And did you bring my other gift?

And die without ever having a beautiful portrait painted of me?

And don't hunt him down and turn him over, then we get slapped with a fine.

And don't worry, I'll do my best not to die on you.

And Eliza doesn't even have ringlets.

And embrace the rest of our lives here.

And even then I knew it was a lie. I'm not like you, Emily.

And every girl stood up.

And every week that went by, I tried to feel it.

And generosity. And pride.

And getting a maid is hardly going to help.

And he practically squandered everything that my ancestors worked so hard to build.

And he's thinking about it.

And how about those ladies though?

And how can you say you know me if you don't even listen to me?

And how is your stool?

And humiliated me.

And I am not going to die.

And I brought you this.

And I could marry him and then be an Indian princess.

And I didn't have the strength to fight with her.

And I don't like poems.

And I felt... so weak.

And I got to make a living somehow, and I'm not gonna be a governess.

And I hope you will perceive in it some evidence of God's wonder.

And I imagine you wanna get that book signed.

And I know I'd be a great husband for her.

And I never understood.

And I promised you this...

And I seriously don't think your father will approve.

And I started wearing it to remember him by.

And I think if you could write about our woods

And I think it would be proper

And I think...

And I told Mrs. Packard I'd help sort through her dead husband's things.

And I wanna see it with you.

And I will never belong to you.

And I will not have my efforts undone by my own daughter, damn it!

And I'll always be here now.

And I'll always keep her safe.

And I'll give you some more writing advice.

And I'll make sure something like this never happens again.

And I'm bringing you girls up to be just like me.

And I'm everywhere.

And I'm helping him out until the election. And if he wins...

And I'm starting to think that he doesn't even live here.

And I've come here today to ask you,

And if any of us happens to see the poor fellow

And if I told her to fire Maggie...

And Immortality.

And in her Eye

And in the kitchen

And it makes my whole body so cold no fire can warm me...

And it rumbles and rumbles.

And it seems like something you would know if you felt it, right?

And it starts on Christmas.

And it turns out she's a really good cook.

And it's a family with no father,

And it's not as if there are so many others clamoring for her.

And it's not up to you.

And move out, you mean?

And my father says I can read any play I want.

And my sister...

And neither of our parents will be here.

And no circuses.

And nobody's as fun as you, Em.

And not so you could go...

And nothing could make me happier than to have her as my bride

And now I'm in this ribbon infested hellscape.

And now you've gone and done it!

And now, a demonstration.

And now, ladies and gentlemen.

And now...

And of the Breeze

And of the Butterfly

And on the proof, there is no more but this

And one of our most respectable professors stripped himself naked

And one thing led to another.

And Pennock with his wife and their baby.

And people will listen to him even if they don't listen to me.

And please, keep Maggie away from the meat.

And pop out little babies.

And ran across the green.

And she said yes.

And she'll be the ruin of this family

And she's not just "some girl," she's Sue.

And she's only gotten worse since you've been away.

And shouldn't you two be having your wedding already?

And soon I shall be more so.

And still her hum

And stop ruining our date.

And Sue has a cousin there, so...

And Sue, as my wife, should be buried next to me.

And that could actually be your way of telling me

And that is to become a great writer.

And that one too.

And that one.

And that was the end of my education.

And that we're gonna have a beautiful wedding.

And that you'd just stay here in this house, like..

And that's not something he'd wanna stand in the way of.

And that's what's making you cry.

And the best advice I can give you is this:

And the career of a woman is in the home.

And the endless set ups from a thousand Mrs. Dickinsons.

And the only person that's ever made me feel that way before...

And the other upside down.

And the plays are so much better when you can actually cast the parts

And the ride won't be as fast.

And the soul of Desdemona is one that I relate to deeply.

And the whole time I've known you, you've been carrying that weight.

And then a million snowflakes will fall on their graves.

And then my tree could be saved.

And then she looked around the whole room and said...

And then the chief would have a really handsome son,

And then the three of you were born.

And then those wicked bivalves overtook me.

And then we returned to our seats and she said...

And then we're gonna have a civil war.

And then who would be laughing then, Joseph?

And then...

And there is nothing you can do to stop me.

And they fixed your dress.

And they have offered me a position.

And this here is Sir Tybalt Butterfly.

And this is a bad time, Emily.

And this is?

And tigers and...

And tomb stones where flowers should be"

And two:

And we can't spend the whole time fighting over

And we didn't even need Dad.

And we don't have to have kids.

And we'll have a big, lovely wedding.

And we'll probably never see any of it besides Amherst?

And we're building our own house.

And we're expecting a houseful of guests.

And what am I supposed to do? Just not talk to them anymore?

And what I'm thinking is

And what would you do instead?

And when Dad's gone, I'm in charge of you.

And when immigrants come here to join us, we throw our arms wide open and we say,

And where is your mother?

And why should it when the role for which she is being trained is so very different?

And yet people read them.

And yet you treat me like one.

And you and Emily have discussed this?

And you and I are getting married.

And you can't hear his poetry when it's being spoken by people

And you could be saying you know nothing,

And you dared do this on the most significant day of my career?

And you happen to be a man of rare intelligence and talent.

And you love Shakespeare, I know you do.

And you made her cry.

And you mean people are actually voting for these clowns?

And you should stand up to your father.

And you will be happy.

And you're too small to fend off enemies.

And your dad is working me to the bone.

And your eyes look normal.

And your father's still not home.

And your vision?

And, Dad, do I have your permission

And, ladies...

And, speaking of shadows,

And, Sue, he adores you

And, Sue, of course, your whole family will come.

And...

And... you scared me.

Angry magma builds up in secret,

Another fight with Dad, huh?

Another fugitive. Some southern fat cat,

Another letter to Sue?

Any spots? Or strange hallucinations?

Any time, Miss Dickinson.

Anything good?

Anything to prevent me from "ruining the good name of Dickinson."

Anyway, Dad got you something.

Anyway, it's very Jeffersonian.

Anyways, yeah, we should go for a run,

Apologize?

Apparently, I had something called "widow's euphoria."

Apparently, if you go like this,

Are making the beast with two backs."

Are you dying?

Are you finished already?

Are you getting married?

Are you getting sick?

Are you kidding? I'd know those tits anywhere.

Are you lecturing me on writing now? What do you know about it?

Are you looking for Henry?

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Are you sure this is a good idea?

Are you sure you want me to do it?

Are you sure your father will approve?

Are you telling me to go back to the boardinghouse?

Are you watching me sleep?

Are you?

Aren't you gonna leave?

Aren't you gonna leave?

Aren't you sad that I'm leaving?

Aren't you?

Around here.

As a matter of fact, I wrote it for Sue.

As a matter of fact, I'm his mother.

As a matter of fact, my father is very progressive when it comes to Shakespeare.

As far as the first one goes,

As if I don't already have enough on my plate.

As long as I can pick my own part.

As much as I can.

As soon as my late husband slash cousin, Loring died, I just jumped on the ship.

As well as maintaining my position as treasurer of Amherst College,

As well as you wrote about Walden, I just think people would hear it.

As you know,

As you know, in addition to running my successful law practice,

As your own woman with your own freedom.

Aside from a few mostly anonymous verses, she remained unpublished.

At first, I was one of about a dozen girls who didn't stand up.

At home throwing plates at each other, like they do every Christmas.

At least not in public.

At least, I didn't think I was feeling it.

At the very least, maybe Austin and I could go through the script beforehand

Atropa belladonna.

Attention! Everyone!

Au revoir, Mama.

Austin and Sue. I hope they don't get married.

Austin came to my bedside when I was sick.

Austin did not write this poem!

Austin is a boy.

Austin, are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Austin, back me up here.

Austin, collect yourself.

Austin, I have an idea.

Austin, I have to talk to you.

Austin, I made it.

Austin, I'm scared.

Austin, may I have this dance?

Austin, no spoilers!

Austin, no.

Austin, please do this for me.

Austin, Sue was just helping me with a very personal situation.

Austin, take care of the womenfolk for me.

Austin, wait... I just...

Austin, you should go.

Austin, you won't.

Austin, you're not supposed to see me

Austin!

Austin.

Austin.

Austin.

Austin.

Awesome, Jane.

Aye, to be sure.

Be careful with that knife.

Be respectful of the woman who's going to be my wife.

Be right next door.

Bear within appalling Ordnance,

Beaten by whom?

Because all I have is beans.

Because Dad, apparently, isn't ever coming home.

Because I could not stop for Death

Because I could not stop for Death

Because I was scared and your father wasn't home.

Because I'm not gonna be able to really understand this play unless you do.

Because I'm not trying to marry you off. You're very good at housework.

Because my father doesn't approve of women publishing.

Because the only real poems are the ones in books.

Because the only real poems are the ones in books.

Because there's, like, this...

Because we're in his house and this kind of thing just isn't done.

Because when a member of the Know Nothings is asked about their movement,

Because you always wanna do Hamlet.

Because you weren't writing me back.

Because you're the only man I ever want to gaze upon my body.

Because, for Sue...

Because, somehow, I love not understanding her.

Because, unlike you,

Because. I like being with you.

Because. The wilderness is...

Bee, you don't mind, do you?

Bee, you're so sweet.

Bee!

Been in bed almost a week now.

Beethoven.

Beg your pardon.

Ben made us smoked glass.

Ben Newton, will you anti marry me?

Ben, calm down. There are no flies!

Ben, how are you feeling?

Ben, I...

Ben, you're too sick. We can't go out.

Ben! It's Ben!

Ben! Oh, you're awake.

Ben?

Ben?

Ben...

Beneath the surface of placid rock

Besides, I don't wanna be Desdemona.

Besides, I thought we were never getting married.

Besides, it's a great excuse for you to stay indoors

Better be making your wedding dress

Better be making your wedding dress

Better. We got opium.

Betty here is a genius.

Betty, don't tell. Betty knows all my secrets.

Beyond the grave, however...

Big win for Amherst.

Bit of a mixed message.

Bleak House reference. Boom!

Blind?

Bodice rippers. Ghost stories.

Boo!

Both my daughters are married now, so...

Boys are stupid.

Brother get married.

Building.

Buried in ash.

Bury me.

But a lot of what's called poetry isn't really poetry, you know?

But as far as the second...

But as the weeks went by, fewer and fewer of us stayed seated

But as there've been more than 100 reported cases

But Austin?

But every end is a beginning;

But has to wait till her sister gets married off first.

But Hawthorne can eat a dick, am I right?

But her stories are so bawdy.

But how do you know?

But I also believe in compromise.

But I bet I'd look good in a suit.

But I came by today to make it right.

But I can't seem to stop

But I don't really want...

But I don't write novels. I write poems.

But I have never wanted any help

But I just got here.

But I know I love her.

But I like to cook.

But I sent him home yesterday with strict orders to stay in bed.

But I think she likes me.

But I wanna take care of you.

But I wasn't gonna lie about it.

But if I had my own...

But in this house, what matters is what your father wants.

But in your letter you said you were sick.

But is she really suitable for you?

But it's the same here as it was in Ireland.

But it's the wedding day. You have to help.

But just Ourselves

But little by little you would.

But now I know you will.

But now they're going to build the railroad through it.

But perhaps my son will make a better impression.

But probably not for, like, a long, long time.

But she's the phony.

But soon. Very soon.

But tell it slant

But that education should not be the same as a man's.

But that's impossible. This is Massachusetts.

But then I married your father...

But then I thought, "It's Christmas, and my family needs me

But then tonight I realized,

But these drops are gonna make my eyes look as dewy as a young bride's

But they've certainly made an impression on me.

But took the morn

But we could not control it.

But we need you here too, Daddy.

But we're very happy you two shall wed.

But what can we do?

But yes.

But you hate to cook.

But you might say pianos are... my forte.

But you'd be so perfect.

But you're a free man, aren't you? You got your papers and everything.

But you're not the bride, madam. You're just the mother of the groom.

But you're not the greatest poet who ever lived, Emily.

But you're out of bed.

But your grandfather...

But your life is easy, Emily Dickinson.

But, Father, like I just said, I wanna go out west.

But, from what I've seen, you only seem to encourage her wildest impulses.

But, Mother, it's broad daylight.

But, my goodness.

But, well, I think it would be best if I gave it to you.

But, when Travellers tell

But...

But...

But... for who?

But... I didn't mean it like that.

But... I love you.

But... she was the healthy one

By Christmas, only a handful of girls, including me, didn't stand up

By Emily Dickinson.

By the way...

By Thoreau. Have you read it?

Bye, Dad.

Bye, Dad.

Bye.

Bye.

Call me James.

Call me mother.

Calm your feathers, woman. I haven't made my decision yet.

Can I at least bring Sue her bouquet...

Can I get you some brandy?

Can I help?

Can I just...

Can I tell you a secret?

Can the Whig party count on your support?

Can we continue with this or you want me to just call it off?

Can we get back to work here?

Can we go? Can we go? Can we go?

Can you be more specific?

Can you promise me something too?

Can you teach me how to make bread?

Can't we just get a maid?

Can't we just try...

Candidates are always moving about.

Careful of the cacti, George.

Check me out. I'm a man.

Chestnut at the vesper bell. You can't stop me.

Circuses are dens of depravity.

Class outside! Class outside!

Come again?

Come make dinner!

Come on, let's do it!

Come on, Taming of the Shrew?

Come on.

Come on. For me

Come on. It's okay, it's okay.

Come on. You're not allowed to travel by yourself. It isn't safe.

Come out west with me.

Come to me, muse.

Come with me, Emily.

Congratulations, Austin.

Congratulations, Edward.

Congratulations, Jane.

Congratulations, Sue!

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Consarn it.

Consider it a wedding gift.

Construction starts tomorrow, you know.

Cool harp.

Cool, yeah, it's just, I don't know what kind of ghost etiquette

Cool.

Cool.

Cool.

Cool. Might just do Indian pudding.

Couldn't you have made me prettier?

Couldn't you just put my initials or "Anonymous" or something?

Cozy.

Crowded.

Crumbs go everywhere.

Custom piece I'm making for Jane Humphrey.

Dad,

Dad, do you really think the Whig Party can survive?

Dad, I don't know what you're..

Dad, it's okay.

Dad, please. I'm begging you.

Dad. You can't do this.

Dammit, isn't there something you can give her?

Dammit.

Damn prickle bush.

Damn.

Damn.

Damn.

Darkness at noon.

Darling, when do you think that we should...

Darling.

David Henry, actually. He switched it.

Dear God, I have a headache.

Dear God.

Death is everywhere this winter.

Death.

Death.

Death.

Deceives the Butterfly;

Definitely.

Desperate times, girl.

Despite the endless dictates of fashion.

Dickinson!

Did I not take it from the ways And lift it up to thee

Did I or did I not expressly forbid you from going to that lecture?

Did Maggie get back from the post office yet?

Did she move?

Did somebody say ham?

Did this table suddenly get bigger?

Did you hear what I said?

Did you underline this?

Dirge. I love that one.

Discuss how many children we're gonna have.

Do I have to?

Do I look pretty?

Do it for our family.

Do the papers say they're allowed to cut down my tree?

Do we have any peppermint?

Do you even know me?

Do you ever feel like Jane isn't nice to us?

Do you ever think maybe we deserve more than what she's offering us as a friend?

Do you feel nothing?

Do you hear me?

Do you know how long I've waited to get a session with him?

Do you mean I snore?

Do you mean to give the master of the house a chipped plate?

Do you often hallucinate?

Do you plan to observe the celestial event?

Do you really think that he would care if you entered a poetry contest?

Do you really think the South will secede?

Do you remember that time we put on the bumblebee opera?

Do you take me for a fool, Emily?

Do you think that Sue and Austin will still get married?

Do you think the hips are wide enough?

Do you think we can be really honest with each other?

Do you think when I speak, you understand what I mean?

Do you wanna go for a run before dinner?

Do you want to join me?

Do your daughters speak to you like this?

Does that feel good, my darling?

Does that make any sense?

Does there really need to be that much kissing?

Doesn't hurt as much.

Don't apologize. It's okay.

Don't be ridiculous.

Don't be ridiculous.

Don't be rude, Henry.

Don't be too hard on him, Em.

Don't be too sure, Vinnie.

Don't bring death into this house.

Don't cry.

Don't do it.

Don't do that. It's creepy.

Don't get yourself all worked up until the doctor's had a look at her.

Don't let him in.

Don't lie to me!

Don't look.

Don't pull any of those stunts like you did the last time.

Don't say "I do" to me.

Don't say that. You're not... You're not gonna die.

Don't take too much, okay?

Don't throw your life away on a man who expects you to cook and clean

Don't worry, honey.

Don't you agree, Dad?

Don't you dare.

Don't you ever get lonely?

Don't you get it? That's why.

Don't you think tonight would be the perfect time for us

Don't, don't open it now!

Don't, George, he wants us to leave...

Done with the Chart!

Done with the Compass

Dude, no, I mean, like, when I'm in the other room.

Dying isn't a metaphor.

Eat shit, Emily.

Eating cakes and reading Shakespeare,

Edward says that a man reached for a gun on the floor of Congress

Edward, don't encourage her.

Edward, I have no more tears to shed.

Edward?

Edward?

Either way.

Ellen Mandeville Grout.

Emerson.

Emily and I...

Emily being left behind.

Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson was born in 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts.

Emily Dickinson?

Emily Dickinson...

Emily Dickinson...

Emily did everything, Mom. You wouldn't believe it.

Emily doesn't have to marry anyone as far as I'm concerned

Emily doesn't have yellow fever. She has a headache.

Emily forgot to fill the buckets.

Emily wants to have a party.

Emily, are you awake?

Emily, can you please, please not die?

Emily, darling! Merry Christmas.

Emily, darling.

Emily, don't do that.

Emily, get to bed.

Emily, he's already married.

Emily, he's married.

Emily, I'm afraid you can't stand in the way of progress.

Emily, I'm ashamed of you.

Emily, last week you said only women should play the women's parts.

Emily, relax.

Emily, shouldn't you be in bed?

Emily, wake up!

Emily, what are you looking at?

Emily, what is wrong?

Emily, whe...

Emily, when I'm old and sick, we'll still be here together.

Emily, you need to apologize.

Emily, you're not wearing a nightgown.

Emily!

Emily!

Emily!

Emily!

Emily!

Emily!

Emily! Emily, that's too much.

Emily! Stop.

Emily! This behavior is unacceptable.

Emily?

Emily?

Emily? Are you all right?

Emily? What's wrong?

Emily.

Emily.

Emily.

Emily.

Emily.

Emily.

Emily.

Emily.

Emily.

Emily. You're lovely.

Emily...

Emily...

Emily...

Emily...

Emmons is coming.

Enjoy your presents.

Enough of this interrogation.

Enzymes sc****d from a baby cow's stomach after it's been butchered.

Especially a Dickinson wedding.

Esther's mother.

Even if my poems are never published?

Even now, now, very now,

Even though Dad gave him my promotion.

Ever seen, ever seen

Every single girl.

Every week, we'd have a meeting in the chapel, and she would ask all the girls...

Everybody knows that.

Everyone will know the name Emily Dickinson.

Everything in this room, that bed, that desk you're sitting at,

Everything is changing and unsettled.

Exactly right.

Except me.

Excuse me, are you giving him my part?

Excuse me, does anyone have a pencil?
