00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:10,195It is a truth generally acknowledgedthat we are all longing to escape.
200:00:11,840 --> 00:00:17,233I escape always to my favourite book,Pride And Prejudice.
3
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:21,515I've read it so many times now
400:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,994
the words just say themselves in my
head
500:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,190
and it's like a window opening.
600:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,272
It's like I'm actually there.
7
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,794It's become a place I knowso... intimately.
8
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:40,437
I can see that world, I can... touch it.
9
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,231I can see Darcy.
1000:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,510
Whoa, Amanda!
1100:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,790
Now, where was I?
1200:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,438
I have no right
to complain about my life.
13
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,109I want this account... de-jointed,yeah?
I want her name gone.
1400:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,549
I mean, it's the same for everybody.
1500:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,194- And I... I do what we all do.
- Did you get a suck?
1600:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,753
Do you want a slap?
1700:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,110
I take it on the chin,
1800:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,469
and patch myself up with Jane Austen.
19
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:46,509
Ow!
20
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,951I know I sound like this...
terrible loser.
2100:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,798
I mean, I do actually have a boyfriend.
2200:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,196
It's just... sometimes I'd rather stay inwith Elizabeth Bennet.
23
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,109- Piranha! I thought you weren't here.- I'm not. Michael coming round?
24
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,434No.
2500:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,948- Why isn't he coming round?
- Boys' night.
2600:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,356- He'll be round after that.
- No, he won't. I've told him not to.
2700:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,110I have plans that involve nobody
except
me. IE, not you either. So go away.
28
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,515
- How do I look?- You put your lipstick on by eating it.
2900:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,198
This is as good as it gets.
3000:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,948"You are mistaken, Mr Darcy,
31
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,788"if you suppose that the mode of your
declaration affected me in any otherway
32
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,478
"than as it spared me the concern
33
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,954"which I might have feltin refusing you...
3400:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,197".. had you behaved
in a more gentleman-like manner."
3500:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,994I've lost countof the number of passes up to now.
3600:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,998Yeah, they're really
taking charge of the midfield.
3700:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,031
I just want to read my book.
3800:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,394
What are you doing?
3900:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,230
- Is this you proposing to me?
40
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,679
Yeah.
4100:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,358
You're drunk.
4200:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,994Marry me, babes.
4300:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,554Make an honest woman of me.
4400:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,718
You have no idea, do you,
quite how unromantic that is?

45
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,679
- Piranha?
46
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,998This is most extraordinary.
47
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,669But I beg you, Miss Spencer,to entertain my explanation of it,
48
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,315for it will be truthful,if a little intractable to believe.
4900:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,239
There is a door, Miss Spencer, in
the attic portion of my father's house,
50
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,398which is a place unvisited
except by servants and myself.
5100:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,433
Were this door to open, it would give
upon the empty air four storeys high,
52
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,152for there is no room beyond.
53
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,158It is a door entirely without sense.
54
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,830
One may not pass through it,try as one might, until this day,
5500:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,077for you, Miss Spencer,
have opened this door for me.
5600:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,953You are the key.
5700:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,434What makes you thinkmy name is Spencer?
5800:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,040It is tailored in your underthings.
5900:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,798
My name is Price, Amanda Price.
60
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:43,355
How do you do, Miss Price?
I am Elizabeth...
61
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,995- Bennet.
- Bennet. Yes, I know.
6200:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,235- Mands?- Just a minute!
6300:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,634Sweet?
6400:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,553
OK, Elizabeth Bennet in my
bathroom.
65
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,194- Clearly I'm hallucinating.
6600:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,549Why? Too much Austen?
6700:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,955My mother would say
not enough boyfriend.
6800:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,992
He doesn't take drugs,he doesn't knock you about.
69
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,996
This place is a mess.
70
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,873It's called redecorating.It's what women my age do
7100:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,478when they get divorced.
72
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,353It's like sex, only you can stopfor a cup of tea and a biscuit.
73
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,153- Give me a cigarette.- Mm-mm, no.
7400:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,911
You're telling me who I have to
marry.
75
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,794
I'm reminding you, Amanda,that you are what you are.
7600:05:36,840 --> 00:05:41,550
If you waste your life pretendingto be something else, you'll regret it.
7700:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,354- I don't trust him, Mum.
- He had it off with a waitress...
7800:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,630
- Two nights running.-.. but he's a man.
79
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,796He has appetites.
8000:05:50,840 --> 00:05:56,278
I have this conversation with Piranhaona regular basis, and she never gets it.
81
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,390I'm not hung up about Darcy.
8200:05:58,440 --> 00:06:03,195
I do not sit at home with the pausebutton and Colin Firth in clingy pants.
8300:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,231I love...
8400:06:05,280 --> 00:06:07,271the love story.
8500:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,629
I love Elizabeth.
8600:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,478I love... the manners
8700:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,988and the language...
88
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,514and the courtesy.
89
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,872It's become part of who I am
and what I want.

3/58
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,629
I'm saying, Mum, that I have
standards.
91
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,515Well, you have standards, pet.
92
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,434I hope they help you on with yourcoatwhen you're 70.
9300:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,831"l, who have valued myself
on my abilities...
94
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,078
"who have often disdainedthe generous candour of my sister... "
9500:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,519
".. and we are engaged. "
9600:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,152
"lt is settled between us already,
9700:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,158
"that we are to bethe happiest couple in the world. "
98
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,472Is this not astonishing?
99
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,157
Were such a thing at my disposal,
100
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,668I should do little else but toy with itall day.
10100:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,077Miss Bennet. I think I may behaving a nervous breakdown.
10200:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,792You see,
103
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,149I am a real person
104
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,317and you are a pretend person.
10500:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,516
- You are the creation of Jane Austen.
- I am not acquainted with this person.
10600:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,199
You are a character in a book.
10700:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,631
This one, written by her 200 yearsago.
108
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,992
It grieves me, Miss Price, thatI must presume to dispute with you.
10900:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,474I have my fleshy envelope,
11000:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,351as you yours.
111
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,312Tell me somethingI couldn't possibly know. Please.
112
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:01,070A piece of information that simplydoesn't exist in my brain. Just do it.
113
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,714- Netherfield Park is let.
- No, no, I know that.
11400:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,878
The news was fetched only this
morning.I have told no one but LadyAmbrosia.
11500:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,115
I know about Mr Darcy, everything.
11600:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,755But you don't. You haven't met him
yet.
11700:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,836OK, something else. Please.
11800:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,839The part of Russian America
that most intrudes into the Arctic Sea
119
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,950
is called Point Barrow.
120
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,070
I have never heard of RussianAmerica.
12100:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,396
It occupies the northernmost territoryin the west of the Americas.
12200:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,115- But that's Alaska.
- I've never heard of Alaska.
12300:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,953
Show me the door, Miss Bennet.
124
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:43,075
That's not a door. I mean, it couldhavebeen a door but it's part of the wall.
125
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,237It's got all the pipey stuffbehind there, the plumbing.
126
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,158Yet it is the way I entered.
12700:09:14,860 --> 00:09:16,737
I don't understand.
12800:09:16,780 --> 00:09:18,850Nor I, Miss Price.
129
00:09:18,900 --> 00:09:22,051But this is assuredly my house.
13000:09:44,660 --> 00:09:47,618Sorry, Miss, but are you dining
tonight?
13100:09:47,660 --> 00:09:51,539Mr Bennet likes to know
what number to expect at table.
13200:09:51,580 --> 00:09:55,334Please advise Mr Bennet
that I will be down... directly.
13300:09:55,380 --> 00:09:58,178
I was just, um... Iooking for him.
134
00:09:58,940 --> 00:10:01,010
Yes, ma'am.

00:10:03,660 --> 00:10:07,858
Whom shall I say has giventhe master this message, ma'am?
13600:10:07,900 --> 00:10:10,016
A friend of Miss Elizabeth.
13700:10:18,940 --> 00:10:22,933OK, this is seriously weirdand I want to go home.
13800:10:28,180 --> 00:10:30,410Elizabeth. Elizabeth!
13900:10:36,060 --> 00:10:39,211
- Oh, Lydia.
14000:10:39,260 --> 00:10:42,332
I have said if I am to bereceived at Netherfield,
14100:10:42,380 --> 00:10:45,213I shall dress in silk, so I shall!
14200:10:45,260 --> 00:10:49,651Lydia, as your father has
civilly declined to call on Mr Bingley,
14300:10:49,700 --> 00:10:53,454
the notion of such an excursionis entirely reprehensible.
144
00:11:02,580 --> 00:11:05,378
Split my windpipe! I mean, goodheavens.
14500:11:05,420 --> 00:11:07,331Forgive me.
14600:11:07,380 --> 00:11:11,214But the noise in this... palace oflunacy
is more than a reading man can bear.
14700:11:14,100 --> 00:11:16,819- So you are...
14800:11:16,860 --> 00:11:19,135.. Elizabeth's friend.
14900:11:19,180 --> 00:11:21,296
Yes. Amanda Price.
150
00:11:21,340 --> 00:11:23,251
- Sir.
15100:11:23,300 --> 00:11:25,814
How marvellous to havethe society of ladies
152
00:11:25,860 --> 00:11:28,693who are not promiscuous with speech.
153
00:11:28,740 --> 00:11:33,655
Allow me to introduce myself acrossthe wasteland of the servants' stairs.
15400:11:34,660 --> 00:11:36,378I am Elizabeth's father, Claude
Bennet.
15500:11:36,420 --> 00:11:38,331
Claude? You're kidding.
15600:11:38,380 --> 00:11:43,090It exposed me to some comments,but it was the name my parents chose.
15700:11:54,300 --> 00:11:58,134So you are not a local person,
Miss Price?
15800:11:58,180 --> 00:12:01,570
I rent in Hammersmith.It's an area of London.
159
00:12:01,620 --> 00:12:04,453
I have driven through a pleasant placethat bears the name,
16000:12:04,500 --> 00:12:07,617- but it was some miles from London.
- It would have been.
16100:12:07,660 --> 00:12:11,016And you are acquainted with Lizzy
how?
16200:12:12,100 --> 00:12:14,136Known Elizabeth for years.
16300:12:14,180 --> 00:12:16,330Until yesterday I had not heard of
you.
164
00:12:16,380 --> 00:12:20,692
It is possible she made manyspeeches
on the subject and I had merely
forgot.
16500:12:20,740 --> 00:12:24,050
Old age, Miss Price.I find I cannot recommend it.
166
00:12:26,780 --> 00:12:29,294- My wife.
167
00:12:29,340 --> 00:12:34,050
Lizzy has told youabout our thrilling new neighbour?
16800:12:34,100 --> 00:12:37,695- Mr Bingley?
- Pleasant enough. Not strong on
brains.
169
00:12:37,740 --> 00:12:41,415I called on Bingley this forenoon.
I haven't told my wife that.
17000:12:41,460 --> 00:12:44,338
But she enjoys the suspense.
17100:12:44,380 --> 00:12:47,497
We really are right at the beginning,aren't we?
172
00:12:47,540 --> 00:12:52,568You do make the most refreshinglyelliptical conversation, Miss Price.
173
00:12:52,620 --> 00:12:55,930So Lizzy has goneto Hammersmith to see you,
17400:12:55,980 --> 00:12:58,255
but you have come to Longbourn
to see her.
17500:12:58,300 --> 00:13:03,055
You will forgive me for observing
thatthe arrangement seems to have a flaw.
176
00:13:04,780 --> 00:13:10,218
- Oh, dear, are you quite well?- I do feel a bit... unusual.
177
00:13:10,260 --> 00:13:13,730- Might I go back upstairs?
- Of course.

She claims it is tolerable soft.

18100:13:26,260 --> 00:13:27,852Hm.
18200:13:29,940 --> 00:13:32,170
Well, I call it perverse.
18300:13:32,220 --> 00:13:34,575
- Mr Bingham's here...- Bingley, Mama.

18500:13:37,540 --> 00:13:39,735I said Bingley.
You said Bingham.
18600:13:39,780 --> 00:13:42,519
If you contradict me,you will go to your room.
187
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,876
I'm as likely to meet a husbandthere as anywhere in this house.
18800:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,629Oh, Lydia,
sit down at once! Mr Bennet!
18900:13:49,680 --> 00:13:51,671Oh, am I here?

00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,679- Miss Price.- Oh!
19200:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,632
- I did not mean to startle you.
- No, no, no, it's, um...

00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:14,070
Papa sent us to see that you knewLizzy's room, but clearly you're...

Yes! Thank you.
19500:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,628You're... Kitty, aren't you?
196
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:23,390And you're... Mary. I've read so muchabout you, I feel I know you.

20000:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,995Is there anything we can get you,
Miss Price? A dish of faggots?
20100:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,952
All right for faggots, thank you.
20200:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,991
I think I'll just, um...

20700:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,598- You're Miss Price of Hammersmith.
- Yes.

I thought you felt funny. I often getinto bed with Lizzy in the night.

00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,672She strokes my backwhen it's time to wake.

for your hair? It's most pungent.

00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,711
OK, look, I've had enough of this.
214
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,752What's the deal here?
Are we live on cable or something?

21800:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,229What do I have to do
to get out of here? Snog her?

- I think it very fine.- Kitty, you are importunate.
235
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,950
I am starved of fashion, is all.
23600:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,470
This is... otter-hunting kit.

Goodness! Are otters
routinely hunted in Hammersmith?
238
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,119Oh, yes.

00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,152The belt therefore isfor the attachment of knives?
240
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:46,556Absolutely. My proper clothes
are... you know, coming.

we may as well take the veil.

of the house distracting.

285
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,912Get something down on paper.

Does it have architectural merit?
33000:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,831
Probably not. But I doubtthat's the point of attendance.

of your sitting down with me.

35200:24:27,360 --> 00:24:30,830I thought for a minuteyou were wearing contact lenses.
35300:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,758How do you get those... ringlets?
35400:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,836
By the application of hot irons.
35500:24:35,880 --> 00:24:37,950I'd be delighted to arrange yours
if you'd let me.
35600:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,630No. I may be losing grip on reality,
but I'm still in control of my hair.
35700:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,074
- Ow!
- Sorry. Just checking.
358
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,030What's a sandwich?

00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:57,629- Mr Collins is a parson.- Our father's cousin. He owns us.
360
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,353Longbourn is entailed to him.
36100:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,551Were Papa to die, Mr Collins
could put us out like that.
36200:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,388
Therefore must we marryto be forearmed against the worst.
363
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,194I should have thought Lizzymight have told you about Mr Collins.
364
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,152She talks of little elseto that fat old sow Ambrosia.
365
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,556- Oh...- we've never met him, of course.
366
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,830He might be tremendously handsome.
36700:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,836I wouldn't get your hopes up.
36800:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,475Do you expect to receive
an offer of marriage, Miss Price?
369
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,398
- Matter of fact, I just had one.- No!
370
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,432
- what reply did you make?- I turned him down.
371
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,279
Well, I didn't believe he loved me.
372
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,434
- Kitty, pass me your kneeler.- why?
37300:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,995
You must forgive my accosting you
thus
but we have not been presented.
374
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,794- You're Charlotte Lucas.
- You see you've utterly beguiled me.
37500:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,515Kitty here tells me, "That ladyis Lizzy's friend Miss Price,"
37600:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,949And I'm at once consumed with
jealousy
377
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,959
for Lizzy has never told me of youyet you know my name before it issaid.
378
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,514Wherefore did Lizzy neglect to tellmeabout this book?
37900:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,198I never knew her start it.
380
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,358Well, she didn't confide in me either.
Originally.
38100:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,436
I myself got it from somebody else.
38200:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,596
Worse and worse.
383
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,154
Wicked Lizzy offends us both.
38400:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,236
Who told you of the book?
38500:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,192Er... Lady Ambrosia.
38600:26:24,000 --> 00:26:30,314How... characteristically eccentric
of our friend to have confided in her,
387
00:26:30,360 --> 00:26:34,353
but odder still for Ambrosiato have discussed it with you.
388
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,870Lady Ambrosia is, after all,a corpulent female pig.
389
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,829What sort of trick
is this, Miss Lucas?
39000:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,440
What sort of trick are you, Miss
Price?
391
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,951It vexes me exceptionally
392
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,197that Elizabeth should chooseto be abroad at such a time as this.
393
00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:59,992And Hammersmith, Mr Bennet.
394
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,157
Is... is Hammersmitha likely sort of place?
39500:27:03,200 --> 00:27:04,952
I was not aware it was abroad,
39600:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,549but I salute your superiorcommand of geography.
39700:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,079Ah.
39800:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,595
We are arrived, Miss Price,
at a particularly fine prospect.
39900:27:16,220 --> 00:27:18,939
Netherfield Park.
40000:27:18,980 --> 00:27:23,815According to disposition one can
marvel
at the delicate masonry of thewindows
401
00:27:23,860 --> 00:27:26,090or thrill to the wealth of the tenant.

I learned in church from Mrs Lucas
that chiefest among Mr Bingley's
guests
403
00:27:30,740 --> 00:27:34,335is Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy, of
Pemberley.
40400:27:34,380 --> 00:27:36,052I have attended the disclosure
405
00:27:36,100 --> 00:27:39,854with the reverence befittingall your utterances, my dear.
40600:27:39,900 --> 00:27:42,016
Now kindly explain it to me.
40700:27:42,060 --> 00:27:44,255
Darcy!
40800:27:44,300 --> 00:27:48,009- Pemberley! why, 10,000 a year!- 10,000!
40900:27:48,060 --> 00:27:51,257My joy, accordingly, is unconfined.
410
00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:55,657Jane, it appears you must now marry
Mr Darcy instead of Mr Bingley.
41100:27:55,700 --> 00:27:58,737
It is not presently my plan,
sir, to marry either gentleman.
412
00:27:58,780 --> 00:28:01,135No, but it is your mother'sso choose your hymns.
41300:28:01,180 --> 00:28:05,139What say you, Miss Price?Shall Jane be wedded to this Mr
Darcy?
41400:28:05,180 --> 00:28:07,455Oh, Kitty, you are overstimulated!
41500:28:07,500 --> 00:28:10,970But Miss Price is quite Delphic,
Mother.
She prefigures all.
416
00:28:11,020 --> 00:28:15,616I have no idea. Perhaps it is
Elizabeth who shall be married.
41700:28:15,660 --> 00:28:18,174Elizabeth's not here.
418
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,433Elizabeth. Elizabeth!
41900:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,077I am not... you.
42000:28:33,120 --> 00:28:34,997You should be here.
42100:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,312
Oh!
42200:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,396
There's going to be a ball.
42300:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,908At the ball you meet Darcy.
424
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,430You have to meet Darcy.Do you understand?
425
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,756You have to meet him, Elizabeth.
It's what happens.
42600:28:54,120 --> 00:28:58,716
Oh, I'm so looking forward
to the prospect of Mr FitzwilliamDarcy.
42700:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,590- I hate a man with too much money.
- Mary!
42800:29:01,640 --> 00:29:06,714That's very modern, and I daresay
very clever, but you will oblige me.
42900:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,598Last-minute lippy, for luck.
43000:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,596It's all the rage in Hammersmith.
43100:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,915
This evening, Miss Bennet,
make sure you dance with MrBingley.
432
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,598It's important.
43300:29:21,640 --> 00:29:26,430
Miss Price, you... you reallyare alarming. Explain your meaning.
43400:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,552I can't. I don't know
what will happen if I do.
43500:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,229
I'm just saying tonightis supposed to be fun.
436
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,589So have a lovely time,
43700:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,232
with Bingley.
43800:29:37,280 --> 00:29:38,679
Let's get to work.
43900:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,473
- Girls!
44000:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,432
Oh, it's a post.
44100:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,668
Ladies! How very splendid you all
look.
442
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,836I'm so pleased you've come.
443
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,919Will you excuse me, Mr Bingley?
444
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,120
I think we all feelit would have been preferable
445
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,151
had Miss Price remainedin Hammersmith
446
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,795rather than perplexing us here
with her radical manners.

Oh, no, don't go away.
451
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,791Bit thirsty. Hm!
452
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,232Miss Price, allow meto introduce Miss Bingley.
453
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,390How do you do?
454
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,513
I am not choking, which mustbe counted in one's favour.
45500:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,955
You're Charles's sister.
45600:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,752One cannot deny the accusation,
457
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,758however unused to being definedin terms of one's brother.
45800:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,678
No accusation, Caroline.
Your brother's a gentleman.
45900:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,272
- Miss, um...
- Lucas.
46000:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,073
Lucas tells me you're come up
from town, Miss Price.

00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,112
- Hammersmith.- Oh.
46200:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,875
Miss Price, you are quite flushed.
46300:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,832Another refreshing glass, perhaps?
464
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,349- Ooh.
- we're both in a dream, Miss Price.
46500:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,197
More than you know, Mr Bingley.
46600:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,073
Now we have collided so fortuitously,
467
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,510
may I beg the honourof the next excursion?
46800:31:43,560 --> 00:31:49,078
You want to dance? Oh, er...I'm afraid that's, um... not possible.
469
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,829
- You cannot dance a quadrille?- I cannot dance a quadrille.
47000:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,838
Then it shall be my happy dutyto educate you.
47100:31:55,880 --> 00:32:00,351Alas, that unrewarding task
has been claimed by another.
47200:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,152
- Another?- Mm-hm.
473
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:06,193I fear there may have to be a duel.who is to be your dancing master?
474
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,152- Name the dog.- Don't say it.

00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:10,519Mr Darcy.
476
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,120- Darcy?
-You said it.
477
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,550
Are you certain you have that aright,
Miss Price?
478
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,591Darcy!
479
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,270Darcy!
480
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:31,113
A most grievous slurhas been cast upon your character.
48100:32:31,160 --> 00:32:35,836Miss Price says she won't dance with
me because you've already asked her.
48200:32:43,040 --> 00:32:47,238
- Yes.- Yes? what fresh lunacy is this, sir?
48300:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,431You've never lifted a hoof
to dance in your life.
48400:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,596
Until this evening,I'd not had the honour
485
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,596of being acquainted with Miss Price.
486
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:59,236
This is an event of some significance,Miss Price. Quite unprecedented.
48700:32:59,280 --> 00:33:03,796He regards forms of sudden
locomotion
as emblematic of ill breeding.

Hunting, tennis,
rising precipitately from a chair.

When Miss Price and I dance,
there shall be nothing sudden.
490
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,156
I can't dance... this sort of dance.

49300:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,269
Madam?
49400:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,709
- Oh, um...
- Oh.
495
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,237I don't know what to say.
496
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:59,717Fortunately,we are obliged only to dance.
497
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,671Look at Miss Price dancing.
498
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,598
Why did you say yes?
499
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,279To spare my friend
the humiliation you contrived for him.
50000:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,197I didn't seek to humiliate Mr Bingley.
501
00:34:15,240 --> 00:34:18,949Then your refusal to dance with himwas most ill-adapted to its purpose.
50200:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,119
I'm drunk. I need a fag.
50300:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,390I've got one fag.
50400:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,788Everything I do is wrong. Everything.
505
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,354Please, God, I want to go home.
506
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,035You even breathe fire.
50700:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,715
Oh, gosh!
50800:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,278- Miss Price, I...
- Mr Bingley...
50900:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,311
How can I begin?
51000:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,831
You and I, we come from...
very different worlds,
511
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,429more different thanyou could possibly imagine.
51200:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,074Miss Price...
513
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,395In my world, Mr Bingley,

all I ever do is dreamabout the loveliness of your world...
51500:35:25,240 --> 00:35:28,550

51600:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,876and pace of courtship,
517
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,913of lovemaking, as you call it,under the gaze of chaperones,
51800:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,396
of happiness against all odds,
51900:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,750and... and marriage.
52000:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,955Here I am,
521
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,594I talk to you for two minutes,
522
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,074I kiss you and you... you...
52300:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,838
So I'm a little...
52400:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,440disappointed in myself, Mr Bingley.
525
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:02,156I feel like those guys
who discovered that Stone Age tribe,
52600:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,953
then gave them the common cold,
52700:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,752
wiped them out.

529
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,438No doubt, Miss Bingley,
53000:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,552you and your brother find
these young provincial gentlemen

53200:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,959
Oh, the young gentlemen we find theacmeof particularity and taste.
533
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,350It is the ladies of the countrywhose crassness is unparalleled.
53400:36:28,400 --> 00:36:29,833
As the mother of many daughters
53500:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,111you must find it wearying
to have to lead by example.
53600:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,311I do, Miss Bingley. I do!
53700:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,148Miss Price, a word.
53800:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,590

00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,631
I may not turn you out of my house.
540
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,877Instead, I shall favour you
with a warning.
54100:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,993I do not know how a person like youcomes to be so friend-like with Lizzy.
54200:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,508I fear your influence on her.
54300:37:09,560 --> 00:37:13,792
But as to my other daughters
who remain in my care, hear this.
544
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,268- Do not obstruct them.
- I promise you...
54500:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,359
It is not necessary for you to speak.
Just listen.
546
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,393Do not obstruct any one of them
in her quest for a propitious marriage.
54700:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,635If you do and my estateis lost because of it,
54800:37:27,680 --> 00:37:32,071something may come over you,
Miss Price, like a thief in the night,
549
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:35,237
which may not be quite so agreeable.
55000:37:35,280 --> 00:37:39,159
Well, you're a real ball-breaker.
Sorry, you don't know what that...
55100:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,239
I understand the sense of your speech
well enough, Miss Price.
552
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,077
Do you understand mine?
553
00:37:55,240 --> 00:37:58,198I would dance but it's impossible.
554
00:37:58,240 --> 00:38:01,676- The carriage fills with freezing air.- Shh!
555
00:38:11,240 --> 00:38:13,117Elizabeth!
55600:38:13,160 --> 00:38:14,275It's all going...
55700:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,118completely... tits-up.
55800:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,118
Bingley couldn't even
see Jane under his...
559
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:21,991Oh! Elizabeth!
56000:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,156Open this door!

"If I might be so presumptuousas to offer advice to my own father,
568
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:01,878"then I would admonish him to pay
particular attention... to Miss Price.

00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,117
"She is intimately acquainted
with the doings of our family,

its most devoted and formidable ally.

Elizabeth."
57200:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,396
When Lizzy was ten years old,I taught her to fly a kite.
573
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,756She soon mastered it.
57400:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,796
She stood between my arms...
57500:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,189
in front of me,
57600:39:31,240 --> 00:39:33,231
and took the strain.
57700:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,314
I believe she has taken it ever since.
57800:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,830
But as for my trust,
57900:39:46,720 --> 00:39:48,119
you have it.
580
00:39:56,220 --> 00:39:59,610
A rare thing, Miss Price,but Kitty is quite right.

- You are oracular.- Hm-hm!
582
00:40:02,100 --> 00:40:06,696
You prophesied Mr Darcywould attend the ball and he dulycame.

Yes. And no.

00:40:11,820 --> 00:40:14,732I mean, he's not Colin Firth.
586
00:40:14,780 --> 00:40:16,930But even Colin Firth isn't Colin Firth.
587
00:40:16,980 --> 00:40:20,495
They had to change the shapeof his head with make-up.
58800:40:20,540 --> 00:40:24,931But, no, Mr Darcy
was pretty spectacularly unfriendly
58900:40:24,980 --> 00:40:27,733
but that's what one would expect.
59000:40:27,780 --> 00:40:31,329Physically, he fillshis britches pretty well,
59100:40:31,380 --> 00:40:34,417but he doesn't, you know, float my
boat.
59200:40:34,460 --> 00:40:38,248
All that... aristocratic languor.
59300:40:38,300 --> 00:40:42,293
I know he can't help it, but it's really
not very attractive. To me.
594
00:40:42,340 --> 00:40:45,412He does not... float your boat?
595
00:40:45,460 --> 00:40:49,089An expression current inHammersmith,never to be used in front of Lydia.
59600:40:53,060 --> 00:40:57,736Without Lizzy, the equilibriumof this house is... fragile.
59700:40:58,820 --> 00:41:01,334It is fruitless to pretend otherwise.
59800:41:02,300 --> 00:41:05,531
However, your presence among us
affords a certain...
599
00:41:06,580 --> 00:41:09,094
reassurance.
600
00:41:09,140 --> 00:41:10,892At least to my father.
601
00:41:11,540 --> 00:41:13,610And to me.
602
00:41:13,660 --> 00:41:15,776
It's very good to have you here.
603
00:41:15,820 --> 00:41:17,617Thank you.
604
00:41:17,660 --> 00:41:21,699I'm... glad I can be of service to you,while I'm here.
605
00:41:22,740 --> 00:41:25,732It is not service, Miss Price,
606
00:41:25,780 --> 00:41:28,089
it is friendship.
607
00:41:28,140 --> 00:41:29,937Yes.
608
00:41:34,380 --> 00:41:36,018Yes, it is.
609
00:41:39,780 --> 00:41:43,614
OK, I have no ideahow to fix this book,
61000:41:43,660 --> 00:41:47,369and I cannot sew this bloody pew
thing
without stabbing myself in the hand.
61100:41:52,020 --> 00:41:54,534
Ah, Miss Lucas,
how convenient you are.
61200:41:54,580 --> 00:41:57,458
How glad I am of that, Mrs Bennet.
61300:41:57,500 --> 00:41:59,570
This is all most industrious.
614
00:41:59,620 --> 00:42:03,329
Miss Price, alas, is a strangerto handiwork for the church.
615
00:42:03,380 --> 00:42:07,658I'm sure she would bless you,were you to take charge of her
kneeler.
61600:42:07,700 --> 00:42:11,613
I may need to unpick all thisand start again, Miss Price.
617
00:42:13,260 --> 00:42:17,731
- Elizabeth sends news?- She writes to her father, not to me.
61800:42:17,780 --> 00:42:22,410She clearly intends to stay
in Hammersmith indefinitely.
61900:42:22,460 --> 00:42:25,850
And how long do you planto stay here, Miss Price?
62000:42:25,900 --> 00:42:29,973I intend to trespass on the hospitality
of this household for, er...
62100:42:30,020 --> 00:42:32,614
for not much more...

62300:42:35,580 --> 00:42:37,889
I hope you stay forever.

Church has had enough from me fortoday.

Do you show me your finger
because it is injured?

She does not materially contribute

She is unkempt and indelicate...and not at all couth!
631
00:43:10,820 --> 00:43:14,449She is upsetting the servantswith all manner of improper remarks!

She gets a coldand has to stay the night

00:43:38,140 --> 00:43:42,850
Mr Bingley instructed youto invite me to visit him?

Some men find it hard to speak theirlove, except through an intermediary.
643
00:43:47,580 --> 00:43:49,377It's not uncommon.
64400:43:49,420 --> 00:43:51,217
You must go.
64500:43:51,260 --> 00:43:54,411If I set off for Netherfield, Miss
Price, it will surely pour with rain.
64600:43:54,460 --> 00:43:56,337
Look at the sky.
64700:43:56,380 --> 00:43:59,850
The rain will be torrential,
and you will get very wet.
648
00:43:59,900 --> 00:44:02,414This is all how it should be.
649
00:44:02,460 --> 00:44:04,371Trust me.

Where has my sister gone?Netherfield.
651
00:44:10,300 --> 00:44:13,610
But there is to be heavy rain.She'll be soaked and catch the grippe.
65200:44:15,100 --> 00:44:18,376
But this is terrible. The infection goesstraight to her chest.
65300:44:18,420 --> 00:44:20,934The last time she contracted it...

It is exciting when you bring the
language of the theatre into this house

to the purpose for which it wascreated?

00:01:31,580 --> 00:01:33,616You must get this girl into bed.

She is the best possible nurse.
1600:02:13,540 --> 00:02:16,054
She has paracetamols.
1700:02:17,060 --> 00:02:18,857Then of course she must remain.

2300:02:36,180 --> 00:02:39,138Stay there. Stay.
I never meant for that to happen.
24
00:02:39,180 --> 00:02:41,740
I'd been drinking. I was disorientated.
25
00:02:41,780 --> 00:02:43,816But I'm drawn to you.

3600:03:14,700 --> 00:03:17,453It might, on the other hand,
37
00:03:17,500 --> 00:03:19,138happen with her.
3800:03:22,620 --> 00:03:26,215Can't you see?
It's her you love, not me.
3900:03:26,260 --> 00:03:28,490
Open your eyes, Mr Bingley,
40
00:03:28,540 --> 00:03:29,939
and see.
41
00:03:51,380 --> 00:03:53,177Thank you. Oh.
4200:04:02,100 --> 00:04:04,216I'm not that big on seafood.
4300:04:04,260 --> 00:04:08,458Miss Price does not care for oysters.
You may bring her the next course.
4400:04:12,180 --> 00:04:14,740
I have exchanged places, Mr Darcy,
4500:04:14,780 --> 00:04:16,850
with my friend Elizabeth.
4600:04:16,900 --> 00:04:19,050
She is another sister of Miss Bennet.
47
00:04:22,020 --> 00:04:26,093
I expect you've heard great reportsof Elizabeth's sparkling wit.
48
00:04:26,140 --> 00:04:27,539
About Miss Bennet,
4900:04:27,580 --> 00:04:29,218
you lied.
5000:04:29,260 --> 00:04:30,295
Why?
51
00:04:30,340 --> 00:04:33,059
I know you're supposed to be abruptbut that's a bit stark.

52
00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:34,419I'm always stark with liars.
5300:04:34,460 --> 00:04:37,611
Elizabeth, what can I say?
5400:04:37,660 --> 00:04:40,413You're welcome to him, miserablesod.
5500:04:44,100 --> 00:04:46,136Miss Price, you have an appetite
5600:04:46,180 --> 00:04:49,855
to be proceeding so quickly to the
larks,ahead of Mr Darcy.
5700:04:49,900 --> 00:04:53,131
Bring Miss Price another leash ofbirds.She is manifestly famished.
58
00:04:53,180 --> 00:04:54,169Oh.
5900:04:54,220 --> 00:04:55,812
Now I shall not say another word.
6000:04:55,860 --> 00:04:59,330Clearly I have interrupteda most fluid and informed
conversation.
6100:05:10,460 --> 00:05:13,133
- How does Miss Bennet, Charles?- Better.
62
00:05:13,180 --> 00:05:18,129Miss Price is most adroitin her treatment of the sick.
63
00:05:20,620 --> 00:05:24,169Mr Bingley, have you consideredgiving a ball at Netherfield?
64
00:05:25,060 --> 00:05:27,779Wouldn't it be a fun way
65
00:05:27,820 --> 00:05:30,380to bring together people who...
6600:05:31,380 --> 00:05:33,132
need to be brought together?
6700:05:33,180 --> 00:05:37,253How I envy Miss Price, to be so
inspiritedby the mere thought of music
68
00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:39,689that it quite sweeps away all anxietyfor her friend.
69
00:05:39,740 --> 00:05:42,891After dinner you must play for usat the pianoforte.
7000:05:42,940 --> 00:05:45,329
No, no, no. I insist.
7100:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,790
I'm sorry I can't play.
7200:05:59,900 --> 00:06:00,658At this.
73
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,390The instrument is not to yoursatisfaction?
74
00:06:06,740 --> 00:06:09,936Charles, you must send for another
immediately.She mean, she cannot play the piano.
75
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:16,123
Any piano, is that the truth of it, MissPrice?How singular! But she can sing?
7600:06:16,162 --> 00:06:20,794
Of course, she can sing. All ladies
can sing.My sister shall accompany.No!
77
00:06:21,650 --> 00:06:28,753That won't be necessary.I sing a song, my mother used to singto me, when I was little.
7800:07:29,180 --> 00:07:30,772What an instructive evening.
7900:07:30,820 --> 00:07:35,132
If all else fails, Miss Price, you shall
notwant for supper, for you can sing.
80
00:07:36,140 --> 00:07:37,539Good night, gentlemen.
8100:07:40,740 --> 00:07:43,937
Money, the fortune to which youaspire
in the immediate instance,
8200:07:43,980 --> 00:07:45,572
may pass you by,
8300:07:45,620 --> 00:07:47,611
but I am certain you shall not starve.
84
00:07:49,460 --> 00:07:52,179
No, I don't suppose I shallon 27,000 a year.
8500:07:54,060 --> 00:07:55,618
Brava, Miss Price.
8600:07:55,660 --> 00:07:58,732
And whenever life
is gettin' me down,
87
00:07:58,780 --> 00:08:00,850I shall be sure to go downtown.
88
00:08:02,180 --> 00:08:05,456- Eh, Darcy?- With alacrity.
89
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:07,138Do you perform, Mr Darcy?
9000:08:07,180 --> 00:08:10,616Not in your league, Miss Price.
9100:08:10,660 --> 00:08:13,128Whoa, smoulder alert!
92
00:08:15,260 --> 00:08:18,616- I am for bed.- Sleep well, madam.
93
00:08:27,540 --> 00:08:31,374Miss Price, I have found it difficult
94
00:08:31,420 --> 00:08:35,493to accommodate the knowledge of
your...
private disposition.

However,
96
00:08:37,940 --> 00:08:40,579I have directed my eyes as you
ordained,
9700:08:40,620 --> 00:08:42,019Miss Price.
98
00:08:46,940 --> 00:08:48,612Mm, I'm hungry.
9900:08:50,740 --> 00:08:52,253Excellent. Excellent.
10000:08:52,300 --> 00:08:55,098I shall send at once for gammon and
eggs.A brace of partridge.
10100:08:55,140 --> 00:08:57,335Nothing too substantial. You've been
ill.
10200:09:00,420 --> 00:09:02,934
It may have seemedthat I was unaware of your nursing
me.
10300:09:02,980 --> 00:09:05,096I was not.
104
00:09:05,140 --> 00:09:06,937I thank you for your kindness.
10500:09:10,180 --> 00:09:13,377Of course I am quite delirious
with anxiety for Miss Bennet.
10600:09:13,420 --> 00:09:16,332With her sister Elizabeth
being away for so long,
10700:09:16,380 --> 00:09:18,371I am all behind, like a duck's tail.
10800:09:20,780 --> 00:09:24,136I understand your daughter
is sufficiently recovered to receive...
109
00:09:24,180 --> 00:09:25,374
Behold this tea!
110
00:09:28,740 --> 00:09:31,937
Does music give you pleasure,Mr Darcy?
11100:09:31,980 --> 00:09:35,734
Good music played with espritcannot fall to please.
11200:09:35,780 --> 00:09:39,693My daughter Mary
is prodigiously talented at music.
11300:09:39,740 --> 00:09:43,096
Mr Darcy thinks of Miss Pricesingingwhen he speaks of esprit.
11400:09:43,140 --> 00:09:46,291The fact she has 27,000 a year
115
00:09:46,340 --> 00:09:48,456does lend sparkleto her dreariest utterance.
116
00:09:48,500 --> 00:09:51,412- what? who told you that?- She did.
117
00:09:51,460 --> 00:09:53,416Unbidden. Gleefully.
11800:09:56,140 --> 00:09:58,290Am I not ghoulishly indiscreet?
11900:10:00,620 --> 00:10:03,339- Hey.
- Oh, Jane.
120
00:10:03,380 --> 00:10:07,055
My heart has not beaten rightsince I discovered you were gone.
121
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:09,489
Oh. Oh!
12200:10:09,540 --> 00:10:12,100
I would never have allowed you out
in such a storm.
123
00:10:12,140 --> 00:10:14,096
Mr Bingley, you are to be chided
124
00:10:14,140 --> 00:10:16,574- for drawing her here.
- Quite so, Mrs Bennet.
12500:10:16,620 --> 00:10:19,930From start to finish my brother's
every action has been unpardonable.
12600:10:19,980 --> 00:10:22,619
Mr Bingley has beenthe quiddity of kindness.
127
00:10:22,660 --> 00:10:26,289
With the permission of my hosts,l am quite ready to return home.
12800:10:28,540 --> 00:10:30,531Come on, Bingers.
12900:10:30,580 --> 00:10:33,936Oh. Right you are. Um...
130
00:10:35,980 --> 00:10:38,175I'll... bid you good day, madam.
131
00:10:41,220 --> 00:10:42,812
That was pathetic.
132
00:10:52,860 --> 00:10:55,613Do you have brothers,
Miss Price?
13300:10:55,660 --> 00:10:57,890- One brother, Kevin.- Oh.
13400:10:57,940 --> 00:10:59,931How lovely.
13500:10:59,980 --> 00:11:03,370
Does Kevin share
your commodious residence?
13600:11:03,420 --> 00:11:06,651
Oh, I wouldn't share a bag of chips
with Kevif it could be avoided.
137
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:09,453
He's pretty feral. He's 15.
138
00:11:15,540 --> 00:11:18,691
Why doesn't he take a horse?He cannot ride.

00:11:25,380 --> 00:11:28,452To ride without a saddle
would be monstrously indelicate.
14200:11:30,260 --> 00:11:32,251
On the subject of indelicacy,
14300:11:32,300 --> 00:11:35,019
might I presume to advise youas you have advised me?
144
00:11:38,540 --> 00:11:41,054Look to Mr Darcy.
14500:11:41,100 --> 00:11:44,809
He is an insufferable, proud manbut he has qualities, he must have,
146
00:11:44,860 --> 00:11:47,215
that are not immediately apparent.
147
00:11:48,580 --> 00:11:50,775He is, after all, the bosom friend
of Mr Bingley.
14800:11:53,700 --> 00:11:57,488The formidable size of Mr Darcy'sincome
makes us silly in his eyes, I know.

00:11:59,340 --> 00:12:02,457
Your own wealthrenders his fortune dwarfish.
151
00:12:03,420 --> 00:12:05,695
Such a woman he could respect.
15200:12:05,740 --> 00:12:08,538
Jane, Darcy is not for me.

Darcy is for Elizabeth.

It is her destiny to be with himand it's yours to be with Bingley.
155
00:12:14,380 --> 00:12:16,257- I'm not fitted for Bingley.- Mama!
156
00:12:16,300 --> 00:12:18,052See, we are rescued!
15700:12:18,100 --> 00:12:20,056Oh, thank the Lord!
15800:12:29,580 --> 00:12:30,569Ladies.

I rather form the impression you are
satisfiedto meet his Majesty's militia.

Gentlemen, acquaint yourself withthe roof.

162
00:12:42,660 --> 00:12:46,209To whom do we owe
the pleasure of this most felicitousoffer?
163
00:12:46,260 --> 00:12:48,615
Captain Wickham, madam.
164
00:12:48,660 --> 00:12:51,333All felicity is entirely mine.
165
00:13:12,940 --> 00:13:15,329You are too kind, Mr Wickham.
166
00:13:15,380 --> 00:13:17,371
Can I press you to take a dish of tea?
16700:13:17,420 --> 00:13:20,537
Alas, madam, we are indefatigable
in the defence of the realm,
168
00:13:20,580 --> 00:13:23,652
but I shall, if I may, call some otherday
to pay my respects.
169
00:13:25,980 --> 00:13:27,572
Back off, Wickham, I know you.
17000:13:28,500 --> 00:13:30,092
But I have not had the pleasure.
17100:13:30,140 --> 00:13:31,732
Get used to that.
17200:13:33,300 --> 00:13:36,337
The first duty of an officer is,
after all, gaiety.
173
00:13:38,420 --> 00:13:40,536- Mr Bennet...- My dear Mrs Bennet.
17400:13:40,580 --> 00:13:43,014How timely you are, at last.
175
00:13:43,060 --> 00:13:44,812Allow me to introduce my cousin,

177
00:13:50,980 --> 00:13:52,891Ah.
178
00:13:54,940 --> 00:13:56,453I am honoured, sir.
179
00:13:56,500 --> 00:14:00,049
I saw the carriage outside
180
00:14:00,100 --> 00:14:02,056- but I did not...- Oh, no, naturally.

Dearest cousins, all.
200

Mr Bennet, you must exult like asultan
when you gaze upon your adorable
Ladies.
201
00:15:06,780 --> 00:15:10,489
And this, therefore, is Miss Elizabeth.
202
00:15:10,540 --> 00:15:12,849Elizabeth is presently in town.
203
00:15:12,900 --> 00:15:14,618At this time of year?
204
00:15:14,660 --> 00:15:18,096
Well, we shall not tellLady Catherine.
20500:15:19,780 --> 00:15:22,977Her Ladyship is very firm
about the season.
20600:15:26,380 --> 00:15:29,611
Er, we have in her placeMiss Amanda Price.
20700:15:32,540 --> 00:15:34,849You will stay to dinner, Mr Collins?

209
00:15:37,220 --> 00:15:39,450- Is that not the plan?
- Oh, two whole weeks.
21000:15:39,500 --> 00:15:42,378
We are so fortunate, Mr Bennet.
21100:15:42,420 --> 00:15:46,379
- Indeed, the Lord has smiled upon us.- Oh.
212
00:15:46,420 --> 00:15:47,819Girls.
213
00:15:50,300 --> 00:15:52,609

Jane, you Lent Miss Price your silken
scarf.Get it back.

00:16:10,620 --> 00:16:14,738
I cannot impress upon you allthat sufficient...
21900:16:14,780 --> 00:16:17,419sufficiency...
22000:16:17,460 --> 00:16:20,497Mr Collins must be given cause
221
00:16:20,540 --> 00:16:22,690to bind himself to us,
222
00:16:22,740 --> 00:16:24,731
to love us, to...
223
00:16:24,780 --> 00:16:26,771to love one of us in particular.
224
00:16:26,820 --> 00:16:28,697Lord, let it be Kitty.
225
00:16:28,740 --> 00:16:30,139
Lydia.
226
00:16:31,100 --> 00:16:34,934Mama, he is not... comely.
227
00:16:34,980 --> 00:16:37,210Do you think I jest?
228
00:16:37,260 --> 00:16:39,490
I do not jest.
22900:16:39,540 --> 00:16:43,818
The woman Mr Collins marries will
be mistressof this house when your father isdead.
23000:16:45,820 --> 00:16:47,412

and go about your business.
23200:16:50,740 --> 00:16:52,139
Collins,
23300:16:52,180 --> 00:16:54,933
on the page, OK, he's pretty bad.
23400:16:54,980 --> 00:16:59,371
In the flesh he's all-time
king of the mingers.
235
00:16:59,420 --> 00:17:02,890He squeezes himselfthrough his trouser pocket.
23600:17:02,940 --> 00:17:05,613You know the thing men do
when they think you can't see?
23700:17:05,660 --> 00:17:08,220And then he sniffs his fingers!
238
00:17:08,260 --> 00:17:10,296Elizabeth, Listen.
23900:17:10,340 --> 00:17:14,299
Collins is supposedto marry Charlotte Lucas, OK?
24000:17:14,340 --> 00:17:18,652But your mother is just taking your
sisters
and just throwing them under him.
241
00:17:18,700 --> 00:17:19,894And Jane...
242
00:17:19,940 --> 00:17:23,057Jane's got to marry Bingleyand she thinks he doesn't give a damn.
243
00:17:23,100 --> 00:17:25,330And frankly, he's not acting like hedoes.
244
00:17:25,380 --> 00:17:29,055He does but he's so bloody repressed,he can't express it.
24500:17:29,100 --> 00:17:32,615
I cannot do this without your help.
246
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:37,017
Big surprise, I have to.
24700:17:37,980 --> 00:17:42,337
Lizzie has told you, then, of ourwretched
condition pertaining to our presentguest.
24800:17:43,620 --> 00:17:47,533Mrs Bennet prescribes
plenty of advantageous marriage.
24900:17:47,580 --> 00:17:49,889
It is a very sensible remedy
250
00:17:49,940 --> 00:17:52,818
and it makes me feel likea whore monger.
25100:17:52,860 --> 00:17:56,250
It's not whoremongeringto bring together people who are inlove.
252
00:17:57,340 --> 00:17:59,570To marry for moneyis merely despicable.
253
00:18:00,540 --> 00:18:02,531To marry for beauty,
25400:18:03,460 --> 00:18:05,178that is a great foolishness.
25500:18:06,020 --> 00:18:08,659But my wife was a great beauty.
25600:18:11,260 --> 00:18:14,935
Let your daughters marry for love
and everything else come right.
25700:18:14,980 --> 00:18:16,333
Everything.
25800:18:16,380 --> 00:18:20,373Just... please don't allow any of them
to marry Mr Collins.
25900:18:21,660 --> 00:18:25,414
In as much as it is in my power
to allow anything in this family,
260
00:18:25,460 --> 00:18:27,928I shall strive to that end.
261
00:18:27,980 --> 00:18:29,936Not even the silliest of my daughters
26200:18:29,980 --> 00:18:32,938
deserves the Promethean miseryof marriage to Collins.
26300:18:44,380 --> 00:18:46,848Mr Collins.
26400:18:46,900 --> 00:18:48,572Such a pretty day.
26500:18:48,620 --> 00:18:50,417
You find me picking roses.
26600:18:55,340 --> 00:18:59,128
Every rose would be this little handif it only could.
26700:19:00,620 --> 00:19:02,497Sir, you kiss my glove.
26800:19:03,260 --> 00:19:05,854I would kiss your every garment.
269
00:19:08,900 --> 00:19:10,538Charlotte... Miss Lucas.
27000:19:15,140 --> 00:19:16,573We need to talk.
27100:19:16,620 --> 00:19:20,329You and I got off on the wrong foot.
You caught me out about the pig.
272
00:19:20,380 --> 00:19:22,211
It made you think I am a liar.
27300:19:22,260 --> 00:19:24,171
But I did not lie to you about
Elizabeth.
27400:19:24,220 --> 00:19:28,008
I don't know her the way that you
knowher but I know her very well.
275
00:19:28,860 --> 00:19:31,772And she loves you, Charlotte.
You are her...

This is all of a piece.
27800:19:37,380 --> 00:19:40,178
I am plain and rebarbative.
27900:19:40,220 --> 00:19:42,734
I'm 27 years old
28000:19:42,780 --> 00:19:44,771
and I am lonely and...
281
00:19:44,820 --> 00:19:48,176
Listen, there is someone herewho's prepared to take you on.
28200:19:48,220 --> 00:19:50,575
I mean, dying to meet you.
28300:19:50,620 --> 00:19:51,609
Now move.
28400:19:55,380 --> 00:19:56,859
Oh, no.
28500:19:57,580 --> 00:20:00,731
- Mr Collins?- Miss Price.
286
00:20:00,780 --> 00:20:05,058
- You're going to ruin those trousers.- It is a possibility a man must face.
28700:20:05,100 --> 00:20:07,853- I fear, Miss Price, we intrude.
- That's exactly what we do.
28800:20:07,900 --> 00:20:09,618Mr Collins, I can't help noticing
28900:20:09,660 --> 00:20:13,175that you are about to ask Miss Bennethere
to marry you.
29000:20:13,220 --> 00:20:14,699
That would be a bad mistake.
291
00:20:14,740 --> 00:20:17,732
For the sake of her family,she'd feel obliged to say yes.
292
00:20:17,780 --> 00:20:21,932But she's not the right person for you.She just... isn't.
293
00:20:21,980 --> 00:20:26,258There is someone else here
who could give you love like no other.

00:20:40,340 --> 00:20:44,174You bring Miss Lucas
to Lend you the courage to tell methis.
298
00:20:44,220 --> 00:20:47,417
I brought her because...No, no, no. what?
29900:20:47,460 --> 00:20:49,371
No! The person I'm talking about...
30000:20:49,420 --> 00:20:52,173Lady Catherineurged me to seek out spirit.
30100:20:52,220 --> 00:20:54,814"Seek out spirit, Mr Collins," she
cried.
302
00:20:54,860 --> 00:20:57,454
The person I'm talking aboutis Charlotte Lucas.
303
00:20:57,500 --> 00:21:01,778
But she is not the personof whom I speak, Miss Price.
304
00:21:13,140 --> 00:21:15,700
I wish you to instruct Miss Priceto quit this house.
305
00:21:15,740 --> 00:21:17,696At once, sir.
30600:21:17,740 --> 00:21:21,528
If you do not oblige me in this matter,
sir,
l believe I shall scream.
307
00:21:21,580 --> 00:21:23,491I believe you shall.
308
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:27,218Allow me to distract youwith an observation.

00:21:27,260 --> 00:21:31,572Miss Price just announcedher engagement to Mr Collins.
31000:21:31,620 --> 00:21:33,372
There must be a reason for this.
31100:21:33,420 --> 00:21:34,819
Though, I confess, I...
31200:21:34,860 --> 00:21:38,011The reason is to spiton the territory of this deluded family.
31300:21:38,060 --> 00:21:39,857Do you not think, Mrs Bennet,
314
00:21:39,900 --> 00:21:43,210it might be in the
interests of this "deluded family"
31500:21:43,260 --> 00:21:45,728
To treat kindly the future Mrs
Collins?
316
00:21:45,780 --> 00:21:48,852Our survival,as you so assiduously remind me, my
dear,
31700:21:48,900 --> 00:21:52,575at frequent intervals, depends on
Mr Collins thinking of us with
affection.
31800:21:52,620 --> 00:21:55,373
I'm not really going to
have to marry Collins, am I?
