His Dark Materials: season 2x04 - Lee Scoresby meets Jopari
This is one of the most powerful scenes in this incredible story about the struggle of becoming and staying a conscious living being...regardless what realm one lives within...
Jopari: “Mr. Scorsby there are two forces that have always been at war with each other. Those who repress, who command, who don't want us to be conscious inquiring beings. And those who want us to know more, to be stronger and wiser, to explore. And those two forces are lining up to battle as we speak, and if the right side has any chance of success Asriel will need the knife.”
Lee Scoresby: “That may well be, but I come here for one reason that's a girl named Lyra not to help her father. She's the best person I know, and she's in danger if you don't have the knife and you can't help her I'll be on my way.”
Jopari: “You love this girl.”
Lee Scoresby: “Yes, more than Asriel. He just left her fend for herself. Imagine, leaving your kid like that. I never had a daughter. Haven't been that lucky, but if I did I hope she'd be half as strong and brave and good.”
Jopari: “I did.”
Lee Scoresby: “Did what?”
Jopari: “I left my boy, my son...”
