Bathsheba Everdene: [narrating] "Bathsheba Everdene." "Bathsheba." The name has always sounded strange to me. I don't like to hear it said out loud. My parents died when I was very young, so there's no one to ask where it came from. I've grown accustomed to being on my own. Some say even too accustomed. Too independent.

Bathsheba Everdene: From now on, you have a mistress, not a master. I don't yet know my talents in farming, but I shall do my best.

It is my intention to astonish you all. Back to work, please.

[last lines]

Bathsheba Everdene: But you will never know.
Gabriel Oak: Why not?
Bathsheba Everdene: Because you never ask!
Gabriel Oak: Would you say no again?
Bathsheba Everdene: I don't know. Probably. So why don't you? Ask me. Ask me. Ask me, Gabriel.
Gabriel Oak: [lunges and kisses her]
