Lark Rise to Candleford (Male)

 Gabriel Cochran (S4 Ep6)

Alf, I have a proposal for you. I need a man to work for me. To take the machine from one field to the next- from one farm to the next. I offer good wages, better than any farm worker can have. I don't wish to buy your favor. I come to you for one reason only- what I see in you. You've shown yourself capable of taking on responsibility. I want a man who cares for the land. Alfie, there's more coming. Much, much more, and if you're a part of this, then the farms and fields are in good hands. Then you will do it? I will only be at the Candleford forge for one more day. I hope to have your answer before I leave. 

Lark Rise to Candleford (Female)

This is from an absolutely charming TV show set in the British countryside. Miss Dorcas Lane is fairly posh.

Our conversation- your plans- or, as you would like to call them, your intentions. I have been considering what it all means. This time feels like a crossroads. I could not let this moment pass- please, let me finish. I have always shied away from love. I dare not venture there because I knew it would change everything. I wanted so much to hold on to what I have, because it is what I know. It is safe. When I look into your eyes, Gabriel, I want to change everything... (he rejects her) You will give your life to your work because that is safe? I am not Liza. I will not do to you... perhaps it would be best if you move on. Yes. I think it would. I would be grateful if you could leave by the end of tomorrow.
