- Heathcliff: Joseph, what have you heard?
- Joseph: Been sick. She's up now. With child. Seven month.
- Heathcliff: And how is Edgar taken that?
- Joseph: He's waiting to the colour of its eyes.
- Heathcliff: [at Cathy's grave] Catherine Earnshaw, I say one prayer. May you not rest while I am living.
- Mrs. Earnshaw: What'll you do? Make him work?
- Mr. Earnshaw: Aye. But no more than others. We lost a son, didn't we. Now, thanks be to god, we have another. He can be a brother to them.
- Mrs. Earnshaw: No doubt he is already.
- Cathy Earnshaw: Nellie, I don't just love Heathcliff, I am Heathcliff. All my thoughts, all my actions, are for him. He's my only reason for living.
- Heathcliff: [to Cathy] I've been through hell for you. And if you think it's only me that's going to suffer, then you'd better think again.
- Nellie: [voice over] Despite Cathy's increasing affection for Heathcliff, I could see from the start that his presence bred ill-feeling in the family.
- Nellie: [voice over] And so, I tended the ailing master, while Cathy and Heathcliff, promising, it seemed, to grow up rude as savages, became more reckless every day. At this time they seemed to need for nothing but each other, so deep and close was their friendship.
- Heathcliff: I swear never to leave you.
- Cathy Earnshaw: Or this place.
- Heathcliff: Or this place. Unless you turn against me.
- Cathy Earnshaw: And I swear always to be your friend, and to love no other as you as long as I live. May we both be buried alive under the black rocks of Penistone Crag if we ever break this vow. Now kiss me.
- Hindley Earnshaw: Joseph! Now that I'm back, Heathcliff will have to work for his keep if he wants to stay here.Treat him like the others. Work him just as hard. And, Joseph, no favours. Father's dead now.
- Cathy Earnshaw: Three years you've been away, and you've never even thought of me.
- Heathcliff: A little more than you have thought of me.
- Cathy Earnshaw: You're cruel.
- Heathcliff: I've fought through a bitter life since I last heard your voice. And you must forgive me, but I struggled only for you.
- Cathy Earnshaw: Why did you come back?
- Heathcliff: To settle up with Hindley.
- Heathcliff: And maybe Edgar too.
- Cathy Earnshaw: Why do you hate Edgar?
- Heathcliff: Because he married you.
- Isabella Linton: Oh Heathcliff. Oh, sweet, precious. Oh, darling.
- Heathcliff: Do you fancy a tumble, then?
- Isabella Linton: What's that?
- Heathcliff: Do you want it here or in the bed?
- Isabella Linton: Oh!
- [slaps him in the face]
- Isabella Linton: You beast!
- Edgar Linton: If you're not out of this house in three minutes, I intend to throw you out.
- Heathcliff: Edgar, you're not worth the trouble of knocking down.
- Edgar Linton: All right, Nellie, get the men.
- Cathy Earnshaw: If you can't throw him out yourself, apologize, or take a beating.
- Mr. Shielders: Stop this violence at once! I won't have this behaviour in my patch. I know all of you, and your captain. You'll be plugged if there's any more of this.
- [He addresses Hindley]
- Mr. Shielders: Come, sir.
- [Hindley straightens]
- Mr. Shielders: Hindley?
- [Hindley laughs mockingly]
- Mr. Shielders: [about Hindley] I think he deserves rather more than he gets.
- Mr. Earnshaw: He'll never amount to anything.
