[From Act Two, Scene 5: BERNARD NIGHTINGALE, an academic overly eager for publication, is reading his proposed lecture about Byron having killed a man in a duel over a woman, to a somewhat dubious audience.]
HANNAH. Borrowed?
BERNARD. I will be taking questions at the end. Constructive comments will be welcome. Which is indeed my reason for trying out in the provinces before my London opening under the auspices of the Byron Society prior to publication. By the way, Valentine, do you want a credit? -- 'the game book recently discovered by.'?
VALENTINE. It was never lost, Bernard.
BERNARD. 'As recently pointed out by.' I don't normally like giving credit where it's due, but with scholarly articles as with divorce, there is a certain cachet in citing a member of the aristocracy. I'll pop it in ad lib for the lecture, and give you a mention in the press release. How's that?
VALENTINE. Very kind.
HANNAH. Press release? What happened to the Journal of English Studies?
BERNARD. That comes later with the apparatus, and in the recognized tone -- very dry, very modest, absolutely gloat-free, and yet unmistakeably 'Eat your heart out, you dozy bastards.' But first, it's 'Media Don, book early to avoid disappointment.' Where was I?
VALENTINE. Game book.
CHLOË. Eros.
HANNAH. Borrowed.
BERNARD. Right. '-- borrowed from Septimus Hodge. Is it conceivable that the letters were already in the book when Byron borrowed it?'
VALENTINE. Yes.
CHLOË. Shut up, Val.
VALENTINE. Well, it's conceivable.
BERNARD. 'Is it likely that Hodge would have lent Byron the book without first removing the three private letters?'
VALENTINE. Look, sorry -- I only meant, Byron could have borrowed the book without asking.
HANNAH. That's true.
BERNARD. Then why wouldn't Hodge get them back?
HANNAH. I don't know, I wasn't there.
BERNARD. That's right, you bloody weren't.
CHLOË. Go on, Bernard.

"Kristin Lavransdatter"
"Kristin Lavransdatter"
1995
Genre: Historical/Drama
Language: Norwegian
Running time: ca. 180 minutes
Directed by Liv Ullmann
Written by Liv Ullmann, based on the novel "Kransen" by Sigrid Undset
Cast includes:
Elisabeth Matheson as Kristin
Bjørn Skagestad as Erlend Nikolausson
...
Henny Moan as Ragnfrid
...
Sverre Anker Ousdal as Lavrans
Overview: "This medieval period drama from Norway is based on Scandinavian-author Sigrid Undset's classic novel. The story is set in Norway's Gudbrandsdal valley during the 14th century. The tale begins when Kristin is 7-years-old and living a peaceful, relatively happy life with her family. It has not always been so happy though, as her parents have already buried three sons and nearly lost Kristin's little sister in a logging accident. Though still quite young, Kristin has been betrothed to marry Simon Darre, a wealthy neighbor's son. Unfortunately, the young girl already prefers the company of Arne to Simon. Time passes and Kristin suffers an attempted rape in the forest. She is confused by the act and asks her family to send her to a convent. Later the young woman sees a handsome knight, Erlend Nikulausson, and falls head-over-heels. Unfortunately, Erlend has more pressing romantic problems trying to deal with his previous lover.
