Miss Potter (2006): Beatrix Won't Marry

The clip beatrix won't marry from Miss Potter (2006)

When did you decide you wouldn't marry?
Just before my 20th birthday.
Mother came to my room and announced that Lionel Stokely
was to marry Gwendolyn Alcott and they were to live at Stokely Court,
which Lionel had just inherited from the earl.
And I knew right then that she would bring me no more suitors
and that I would never marry.
And that shocked me.
But I felt relieved.
And that shocked me.
So I went into the garden and filled an entire notebook with sketches.
Men are bores.
They're useful for only two things in life
financial support and procreation.
Millie! You say outrageous things!
Ah, but the price.
What price?
Domestic enslavement. Childbirth. Terrifying.
No, unmarried women have a better life.
I swear it's true.
No houses, no babies, no husbands demanding things all the time.
As long as one's lucky enough in life to have a good friend.
I'm so glad Norman found you, Beatrix.
I was missing something I didn't even know.
