A Reunion of Lost Connections
Estella: [startled as Pip enters Miss Havisham's dining room]
Pip!
Pip:
Estella! … Estella! What are you doing here? I thought you were in Paris with your husband.
Estella:
I have no husband, Pip. Have you not heard?
Pip:
I've been ill, Estella. I've heard nothing.
Estella:
When Mr Jaggers disclosed to Bentley Drummle my true parentage, he no longer wished to have me for a wife. Well, Pip, why don't you laugh? You've every right to.
Pip:
I have no wish to laugh, Estella. I'm truly sorry.
Estella:
You've no need to pity me. It has simplified my life. There's now no need to sell the house. It is mine and I shall live here. I shall like it here, Pip. Away from the world and all its complications.
Pip:
Estella, how long have you been here?
Estella:
I don't know.
Pip:
Estella, you must leave this house. It's a dead house. Nothing can live here. Leave it, Estella, I beg of you.
Estella:
What do you mean? This is the house where I grew up. It's part of me. It's my home.
Pip:
It's Miss Havisham's home. But she's gone! From this house, from both of us!
Estella:
She is not gone. She is still here with me in this house, in this very room.
Pip: [Tears down the curtains from the windows]
Then I defy her. I have come back, Miss Havisham! I have come back! To let in the sunlight! Look, Estella! Look! Nothing but dust and decay. I've never ceased to love you, even when there seemed no hope for my love. You're part of my existence, part of myself. Estella, come with me, out into the sunlight. Look at me.
Estella:
Pip, I'm afraid.
Pip:
Look at me. We belong to each other. Let's start again. Together.
