A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Kathani Sharma: All along, you have been set on marrying my sister, despite my every objection, might I add, and now you intend to cast her aside. Why? And do not talk to me of dowries, sir, for we both know you have no need of it. So, tell me, what has she done?

Viscount Anthony Bridgerton: She has done nothing. It is you. You have made this match impossible.

Kathani Sharma: But I am leaving for India.

Viscount Anthony Bridgerton: And it is not far enough! Do you think that there is a corner of this Earth that you could travel to far away enough to free me from this torment? I am a gentleman. My father raised me to act with honor, but that honor is hanging by a thread that grows more precarious with every moment I spend in your presence. You are the bane of my existence. And the object of all my desires. Night and day, I dream of you. And what I ... Do you even know all the ways a lady can be seduced? The things I could teach you.

Kathani Sharma: I did not ask for this. To be plagued by these feelings. Hiding from my sister. Being driven to distraction every time you enter the room.

Viscount Anthony Bridgerton: Then you agree. It is insupportable.

Kathani Sharma: Impossible.

Viscount Anthony Bridgerton: If I wed your sister, it will bind me and you together for eternity, and I will spend every day of my marriage wanting you. Dreaming of you. Dreading the day when my last thread of honor finally snaps. Is that the future that you want for us? For your sister?
