Sir William Hamilton: You know Emma, there are three kinds of deceived husbands in the world: first are those who were born to be decieved, second who do not know, and third who do not care. I've been wondering for some time now which of the three I'd be myself.
Emma: Have you forgotten the fourth kind William? The kind that is hard, and empty, and gives nothing. You married me because you wanted a new ornament for your house -
[motions to each]
Emma: like that painting, or that statue, or that vase. As far as you're concerned I'm just as ornamental, and just as dead.
Sir William Hamilton: But my dear, how can you call my statues dead? When I'm alone and rather tired, think what it means to me to have my statues with me. To know that they'll always be lovely, will never grow old, and never walk out with sailors. What a pity you're not going to see him again. It would have been a farewell scene of lasting beauty. I shall sleep beautifully tonight.
[nods]
Sir William Hamilton: Goodnight my dear.
[Exits the room]
Emma: [she says sadly] My darling... come back... come back.
Mrs. Cadogan-Lyon: [Hushed] Emily, he's waiting for you, out on the balcony.
[Emma runs gleefully out onto the balcony into Lord Nelson's arms and they passionately kiss]
