Where is Heathcliff?

I haven't a clue. Most likely dozing off in some corner, like the lazy bum he is. Oi, Heathcliff! Where the hell are you? 'Lady Catherine' has finally returned!

Chop chop, come on out and bid her welcome like the other servants have.

…!

Heathcliff! What are you sulking for...? Have you forgotten me?

…….

How insolent, Heathcliff. I don't recall ever permitting you to act so disrespectfully before my dear sister.

Why... are you... laughing at me?

Huh?

Why... would you say a thing like that? I... never laughed at you.

I simply wanted to know why you don't appear very happy to see me. It's been so long since we've last met.

And... my, you are so dirty!

... Hah. Dirty?

You're right. That's just the way I was born.

I like to be dirty, and I'll be as dirty as I want to be!

What are you... Heathcliff!

The day when Heathcliff denied me for the first time...

I've never seen a prouder smile on my brother than when he watched it happen.

I wonder if Heathcliff, who stormed off to the barn...

... was weeping.

Catherine, you shrew... You dare conspire with your husband to take my home away from me?

The only thing my father ever... ever gave me...!

I did not want the pain from your youth to hold you back from living your life, dear brother.

The same pain you wielded like a cudgel to thrash Heathcliff. To hurt me.

I will try all I can so that you may recover.

…….

But if you would rather choose to abandon every opportunity that was ever given to you... if you would rather walk yourself into that abyss...
