00:00Miss Elizabeth, I have struggled in vain and I can bear it no longer.
00:04These past months have been a torment.
00:06I came to Rosie's with a single object of seeing you. I had to see you.
00:09I have fought against my better judgment, my family's expectation, the inferiority of your birth, my rank and circumstance,
00:15all these things, so I am willing to put them aside and ask you to end my agony.
00:18I don't understand.
00:19I love you.
00:24Most ardently.
00:28Please do me the honor of accepting my hand.
00:34Sir, I...
00:36I appreciate the struggle you have been through and I am very sorry to have caused you pain.
00:41Believe me, it was unconsciously done.
00:44Is this your apply?
00:45Yes, sir.
00:46Are you...
00:48Are you laughing at me?
00:49No.
00:50Are you rejecting me?
00:51I'm sure that the feelings which you've told me have hindered your regard will help you in overcoming it.
00:56Might I ask why with so little endeavour at civility I am less repulsive?
01:00And I might as well inquire why with so evident a design of insulting me you chose to tell me
01:04that you like me against your better judgment.
01:05No, believe me, I didn't mean...
01:06If I was uncivil, then that is some excuse, but I have other reasons. You know I have.
01:09What reasons?
01:11Do you think that anything might tempt me to accept the man who was ruined, perhaps forever, the happiness of
01:15a most beloved sister?
01:18Do you deny it, Mr. Darcy?
01:20That you separated a young couple who loved each other, exposing your friend to the centre of the world's book
01:25of priests,
01:25and my sister to its derision for disappointed hopes, and involving them both in misery of the acutest kind.
01:31I do not deny it.
01:33How could you do it?
01:35Because I believed your sister indifferent to him.
01:37Indifferent?
01:37I watched them most carefully and realised his attachment was deeper than hers.
01:40That's because she's shy.
01:41Bingley too is modest and was persuaded she didn't feel strongly for it.
01:44Because you suggested it.
01:45I did it for his own good.
01:46My sister hardly shows her true feelings to me.
01:53I suppose you suspect that his... his fortune had some bearing on the matter.
01:57No, I wouldn't be your sister the dishonour, though it was suggested...
01:59What was?
02:01It was made perfectly clear that an advantageous marriage...
02:04Did my sister give that impression?
02:05No, no.
02:06No, there was, however, I have to admit, the matter of your family...
02:09Our want of connection!
02:10Mr. Bingley didn't seem to begs himself about that.
02:12No, it was more than that.
02:12How, sir?
02:13It was the lack of propriety shown by your mother, your three younger sisters, even on the case of your
02:16father.
02:21Excuse me.
02:24You and your sister are endless exclusions.
02:31And what about Mr. Wickham?
02:35Mr. Wickham?
02:36What excuse can you give your behaviour towards him?
02:39You take an eager interest in that gentleman's concerns.
02:41He told me of his misfortunes.
02:42Oh, yes, his misfortunes have been very great indeed.
02:44You ruin his chances, and yet you treat him with sarcasm.
02:47So this is your opinion of me.
02:50Thank you for explaining so fully.
02:52Perhaps these offences might have been overlooked had not your pride been hurt by my honesty and admitting scruples about
02:57our relationship.
02:58Could you expect me to rejoice in the inferiority of your circumstances?
03:01And those are the words of a gentleman.
03:04From the first moment I met you, your arrogance and conceit, your selfish disdain for the feelings of others,
03:09made me realise that you were the last man in the world I could ever be prevailed upon to marry.
03:26Forgive me, madam, for taking up so much of your time.
03:44Thank you, madam.
04:20Thank you, madam.
04:45Thank you, madam.
05:35I came to leave you this.
05:48I shall not renew the sentiments which were so disgusting to you.
05:52But if I may, I will address the two offences you have led against me.
06:03My father loved Mr. Wickham as a son.
06:06In consequence, he left him a generous living.
06:09But upon my father's death, Mr. Wickham announced he had no intention of taking orders.
06:15He demanded the value of the living which he was given, and which he gambled away within weeks.
06:23He then wrote demanding more money, which I refused, after which he severed all acquaintance.
06:29He came back to see us last summer, at which point he declared passionate love for my sister,
06:34whom he tried to persuade to elope with him.
06:38She is to inherit 30,000 pounds.
06:42When it was made clear he would never receive a penny of that inheritance, he disappeared.
06:47I will not attempt to convey the depth of Georgiana's despair.
06:51She was 15 years old.
06:56As to the other matter, that of your sister and Mr. Bingley,
07:00though the motives which governed me may to you appear insufficient,
07:04they were in the service of a friend.
07:08Is he?
07:12Are you alright?
07:16Hardly no.
07:17Hardly no.
07:17Hardly no.
07:18Hardly no.
07:20Hardly no.
07:23Hardly no.
07:24Hardly no.
07:26True.
07:27Carolas.
