John Proctor's decision

This is the scene when Judge Danforth orders John Proctor to give him his honest confession.

Danforth: If you please, Mister.

Proctor: No, no. You have seen sigin it. You have no need for this.

Parris: Proctor, the village must have proof--

Proctor: Damn the village!

Pooh: What is wrong?

Rabbit: Yeah. What is with you?

Proctor: Is there no good penitence but it be public? God does not need my name nailed to the church! God knows how black my sins are!

Piglet: John--

Proctor: How may I teach my son to walk like men in the world when I sold my friends?

Danforth: You have not sold your--

Proctor: I blacken all of them when this is nailed to the church the very day they hang for silence!

Yogi: We must have good and legal proof that you have confessed to witchcraft, John.

Proctor: You are the high courts, your word is good enough. Tell them Proctor broke his knees and wept like a woman. But--but my name, I cannot sign.

Danforth: Why? Do you mean to deny this confession when you were free?

Proctor: I mean to deny nothing.

Danforth: Then explain to me, Mr. Proctor, why you will not--

Proctor: Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them they hang! I have given you my soul, leave me my name!

Danforth: Is that document a lie? If it is, I will not accept it. You will give me your honest confession in my hand or I cannot keep you from the rope. Which way do you go, Mister?

(John rips the confession and Pooh and friends gasp.)

Danforth: Marshall.

Hale: Man, you will hang, you cannot!

Proctor: I can. And there's your first marvel, that I can. Give me no tear. Show honor now, show a stony heart and sink them with it!

(John and Elizabeth kiss each other.)

Cindy: (In Ariel's voice from Kingdom Hearts) How could you?

Boo-Boo: I can't believe you have done this!

Danforth: Who weeps for these, weeps for corruption. Take them.

(Men clear the table and some of them take John with them.)

Parris: Proctor. Go to him. There is time yet! Proctor! Proctor!

(One of them puts him in a cart with Martha Corey and Rebecca Nurse.)

Parris: In the name of God, confess! (sobs) Confess!

(The cart drives.)

Hale: Plead with him!

Rabbit: It is pride!

Tigger: It is vanity!

Hale: Be his helper! Go to him!

Pooh: What profit him to bleed?

Boo-Boo: Shall the dust praise him?

Pongo: Shall the worms declare his truth?

Rabbit: Go to him, take his shame away!

Elizabeth: He have his goodness now. God forbid I take it from him.
