A2 S6 Raising The Banner Flashcards
MRS. LINDLEY: Gentlemen. I was able to close.
Oh, we won’t be long.
CAROLYN: Not unless Newmarket’s hosting a banner parade.
We haven’t seen you around much.
CAROLYN: Not to mention Maudsley banning us.
Yes, we heard.
MRS. LINDLEY: I’ll take paint, yes.
A banner? That’s your grand strategy? Think it’ll actually change anything?
HOLMES: Ladies. Fellas, causing trouble?
Just browsing.
HOLMES: Thank you, ma’am. Fellas, let’s not dawdle.
You can’t honestly believe you’ll win.
C: We might.
You can’t even vote.
C: Neither can you.
True, but graduates can. And they won’t side with you.
EDAWRDS: Enough, Lloyd. Let them be.
What’s the endgame? A degree? Will you run the country? Build bridges? Cure smallpox?
C: I plan to be a doctor.
And who will you doctor, Miss Addison? Me? Him? No? Who?
EDWARDS: Female doctors—some men might benefit
You’re missing the point. You think some patchwork education gives you the right to stand here? Some tattered notes from your brother? At Cambridge, Cambridge for Pete’s sake. Cambridge isn’t for dreamers. We’re not average men here. We are the future. The leaders. The establishment. It’s our right. Our blood. These building are what make us men, Eight hundred years we’ve built this legacy—Newton, Cromwell, Darwin. Then you. You what? Waltz in, with your bonnets and your pretentious and preposterous self-belief and you think you have a right to set foot in these walls. To put yourself on a level with us because you can heat a test tube on a burner? Do you really think you belong? You know what they should go with you - they should put you away. You’re deluded. You’re not natural. You don’t have an ounce of womanhood in your body. You won’t be wives, and you won’t be mothers. Why do this to yourselves?
C: Because it’s our right
Your right? You don’t belong here. You’re a joke. A doctor, for Pete’s sake. I’ll be damned if any man would let you touch his body unless he’s paying you like a common whore.
H: That’s enough Lloyd
They need to hear it. They’ll lose anyway.
MRS L: Gentlemen, I think you’ve overstayed your welcome.
What did you say?
MRS L: I said, get out.
My father owns this building. Careful who you side with.
