TVTranscript
00:20In the weeks that followed the disastrous Meriton Assembly,
00:24I buried myself in my books, hoping to stave off the pangs of shame and humiliation.
00:31It was all part of my plan for a new Mary.
00:36I needed a clear mind, unclouded by strong emotion.
00:40I was working on gravitas.
00:45From now on, I would be a steady, informed, and rational woman.
00:51Books would be my guide.
00:52I would think more and feel less.
01:01What could possibly go wrong?
01:13Well...
01:24I hope you have ordered a good dinner for this evening.
01:28We shall have a guest.
01:29I knew it would be so.
01:32It's not Mr Bingley.
01:36It's my cousin.
01:37Mr Collins?
01:38The very same.
01:39The man next in the end tale.
01:41Who?
01:41The man who, once I am dead, will turn you out of the house as soon as he pleases.
01:46He proposes himself as a guest here at Longbourn?
01:49In point of composition, his letter does not seem entirely defective.
01:53Entirely defective?
01:55Mary, are you quite all right?
01:57I regret deeply the breach which has existed between us for so long.
02:01As a clergyman, I feel it my duty to promote the blessings of peace in all families within my influence.
02:09Blessings of peace in this house?
02:12He must be an oddity.
02:14I cannot make him out. Can he be a sensible man, sir?
02:18He is a very sensible man, thank you, Elizabeth.
02:21Very sensible indeed.
02:24Oh, can you not all see he is looking for a wife?
02:28Do you really think so?
02:30Lizzie?
02:31You must prepare yourself.
02:32But Mama!
02:33We shall find out just what kind of man he is this afternoon.
02:36I have great hopes of his being extremely foolish.
02:41He sounds insufferably boring.
02:43A clergyman.
02:44Ugh.
02:45Is it right to condemn him before we've even met him?
02:48Oh, please, Mary.
02:50I was agreeing with you.
02:51It's the way you say things.
02:59I am looking forward to meeting Mr. Collins this afternoon.
03:09What do you keep under your hat?
03:19We have.
03:20We do not sparkle as they do, you and I.
03:26Oh, I hope my honesty did not offend her.
03:28My goodness, no.
03:30No.
03:31Your sisters seem most agitated this morning.
03:34My father's cousin, Mr. Collins, is to visit Longbourn and they've all decided he's a terrible ball.
03:39Now?
03:40Mother believes he comes looking for a wife.
03:43A wife?
03:43Apparently.
03:45What is your cousin's profession?
03:46A clergyman.
03:48Oh.
03:49A modest income then, I imagine.
03:53Do you know what my advice would be to you?
03:56If my father's cousin was coming to stay and I knew he was looking for a wife, I would do
04:01everything within the bounds of propriety to attract him.
04:06Well, I have decided none of this is for me.
04:09I will live alone with knowledge and...
04:11Look, Mary cannot seriously believe the life of an old maid is to be preferred.
04:18I do not think my ma has me in mind.
04:20Jane and Lizzie won't settle solo.
04:22Anyway, Jane is nearly taken.
04:24So that leaves you.
04:28You speak nothing of love.
04:32What does love to do with anything?
04:34Of course.
04:34Of course, you're right.
04:35Of course.
04:36For an educated woman, raised to be genteel as we have been, the future holds no other prospect than marriage.
04:44Marriage or misery, Mary?
04:47Marriage or misery?
04:51I should know.
05:20Mr. Collins!
05:22I'm here!
05:22Meet at last.
05:31Ah, this...
05:36This is Jane, our eldest.
05:39Well, I had an idea.
05:44She is soon to be engaged, but the others are not.
05:50This is Elizabeth.
05:56A pleasure.
05:57Ah.
06:01And, uh, Mary.
06:02How do you do?
06:03This is Kitty.
06:04And our youngest, Lydia.
06:06Ah.
06:07Well, now, I don't know that I will be able to tell the difference between you two.
06:12Yeah.
06:14Hmm.
06:16Hmm.
06:18The good looks of my fair cousins far exceed even the most enthusiastic of reports.
06:23Of course.
06:27Oh, um...
06:28No, uh, I'm terribly sorry.
06:31I certainly didn't mean to cause any offence.
06:34Oh, you caused no offence, Mr. Collins?
06:37Of course you didn't.
06:40Allow me to show you the house.
06:42Hmm.
06:42Oh, splendid.
06:45Splendid.
06:45Uh, much smaller than one imagined, but with a few minor modifications will suffice my meek needs.
06:53In case you think so.
07:01I am not worthy of the crumbs which fall from thy table.
07:08Amen.
07:09And yet that gives unto me the bread of life.
07:13Evermore, give me that bread that I may eat thereof, and not die eternally.
07:24Yes, exactly.
07:25Amen.
07:27Mr. Bennet, what a magnificent dining table.
07:30Even with the, uh, heavy curtains and the lack of natural light in here, one can still see its quantity.
07:36How generous of you.
07:37Mm.
07:41Shall we?
07:42Mm.
07:50Mr. Collins?
07:57Mr. Bennet, I expect your daughters will be quickly and advantageously disposed of in marriage.
08:03Disposed?
08:04It is very good of you to say so.
08:05Mm.
08:06Oh.
08:06Oh, I am happy on every occasion to offer those delicate little compliments that are agreeable to ladies.
08:12Thank you, Mr. Collins.
08:14Mm.
08:15And may I commend your reading of grace?
08:18It has very much stayed with me.
08:20And, uh...
08:21It is most unfortunate that our girls have no proper portion to bring to their husbands.
08:25Please excuse me.
08:28You allude perhaps to the entail of this estate?
08:32It is a most vexing situation.
08:34If only there was some satisfactory way to amend it.
08:40Mm.
08:41Mm.
08:41Mm.
08:42Mm.
08:42I could say much on the subject.
08:44But I am cautious of appearing forward and, um, precipitate.
08:49Mm.
08:51I can assure the young ladies that I come prepared to admire them.
08:57Mm.
08:58Mm.
09:00Have you read Dr. Fordyce, sir?
09:05Mm.
09:05I certainly have.
09:06Cousin Elizabeth?
09:08What make you of the sermons?
09:11I'm sure I haven't had time to read them, sir.
09:13Mm.
09:13So busy have I been merely being a woman, I haven't had a moment to read up on how I
09:18should go about it.
09:21I think I'm the only one who's truly interested in Fordyce's sermons.
09:27More wine, Mr. Collins.
09:29Mm.
09:34I will that women adorn themselves with sobriety.
09:39Let your speech be always, be always with grace, seasoned with salt.
09:54This has been wonderful.
09:56Mm.
09:57But now you must let us entertain you, Mr. Collins.
10:01Lizzie, won't you play for us?
10:06Ah.
10:27Ah.
10:34Ah.
10:48Ah.
10:50Ah.
10:55Bravo, Lizzie.
10:57Very good, Lizzie.
10:58If you were to practise properly, you really might master it.
11:01It seems a great shame to bring all the pleasure out of music.
11:03A few false notes seems a small price to pay in exchange.
11:07Great shame to waste a gift, that is all.
11:10Quite right.
11:12Why don't you show us how it is done, Mary?
11:22Oh, Lord.
12:14My congratulations, cousin.
12:15You play with such exactness.
12:21I imagine you practise a great deal.
12:23I practise often, it is true.
12:26Yes, it is.
12:28It's only through hard work that anything of any value has to be achieved.
12:31Yes, um...
12:33Yes, I...
12:34Mr Collins, perhaps Elizabeth could take you on a walk around the gardens.
12:41Hmm.
12:43Hmm.
12:49Mary.
12:50Mother.
12:53I do not want any confusion regarding Mr Collins and, uh...
12:59future prospects.
13:00I'm not sure I understand.
13:02It is Lizzie in whom Mr Collins has expressed an interest.
13:06Are we clear?
13:07Don't you worry, Mama, that Lizzie won't accept Mr Collins.
13:12I have no particular feelings for him.
13:15But he and I have similar interests.
13:17And I am at least prepared to seek out the good in him.
13:21Mary, I cannot pass the man around the family like a sherry trifle.
13:28Your name has not come up.
13:39Cousins!
13:40Come on.
13:41Ready?
13:42Come on, hit it!
13:43I bring news.
13:44There...
13:45There is to be...
13:46Hmm.
13:47There is to be a ball...
13:49Lydia...
13:49...next week at Netherfield.
13:50Oh!
13:51I knew Mr Bingley would find the perfect excuse to see Jane again.
13:55And my brother and his wife shall be visiting.
13:57They might even be here when the engagement is announced.
14:00We are some way off that.
14:03Mr and Mrs Gardner shall be joining us.
14:06They're coming down from London.
14:08Up.
14:11They're coming up from London.
14:13That is what I said.
14:15Splendid.
14:16Splendid!
14:17A real family affair.
14:19I will need new ribbons.
14:21Perhaps, Miss Bennet, um...
14:23You, uh, would take the first dance with me?
14:27Oh, how wonderful.
14:29Maybe I should play a little something on the piano?
14:33Yeah, yes.
14:34You should indeed.
14:36What about you, Miss Elizabeth?
14:38Do you sing?
14:41There is nothing I admire more than a woman with a wide vocal range.
15:04Very good, Miss Mary.
15:06Your playing is coming along nicely.
15:08Thank you, Hill.
15:10Mr Collins thinks I'm a very good player.
15:13I'm planning to play at the Assembly.
15:16At Netherfield?
15:17Yes.
15:18I was even thinking I might sing.
15:22Sing?
15:23Miss Mary?
15:25It will be a surprise to them all.
15:29Short and sweet.
15:31That would be my advice.
15:35And, er, maybe don't sing.
15:44Help!
15:46I love my shoes!
15:48Help!
15:49Mmm!
15:53Mmm!
15:54Mmm!
15:56Mmm!
16:12The earlier we arrive, the earlier we can leave.
16:17Oh.
16:19Oh.
16:25Oh.
16:39As well as she does.
16:40I'm sure you're just being honest.
16:42So, this lady Lucas, Charlotte, please meet my brother and his dear wife, Mr. and Mrs. Gardner.
16:51They're down from London.
16:53Up.
16:53What?
16:54Up from London.
16:56And this is my very distant cousin, Mr. Collins.
17:03Shall we do?
17:08Something of a challenge to find husbands for five daughters.
17:13This is a beautiful dining room.
17:15But if Jane were to get a proposal...
17:18Am I?
17:19Please.
17:23As I say, if Jane...
17:25Lizzie seems very keen to distance herself from your cousin.
17:28She's not at all happy about his interest.
17:33What is he like?
17:35Tolerable forearms, I noticed.
17:38Have you made your interest in him clear?
17:40I am trying.
17:43But...
17:44Your mother seems terribly keen for Lizzie to be matched with a man of a modest income.
17:49I cannot think why.
17:51He is the cousin.
17:53The one from the end tale.
17:55It's Mr. Collins who stands to inherit Longbourn.
17:57The house.
17:58The estate.
17:59The income.
17:59All of it.
18:01So...
18:01My father cannot stand the man.
18:03While my mother wants Lizzie to marry him.
18:09Oh.
18:11Perhaps I will not play tonight.
18:14Oh, Mary, you must.
18:17I had prepared a little something.
18:21But...
18:21Now the time is here, I'm not sure I have the stomach for it.
18:24Nonsense, Mary.
18:26Mr. Collins is sure to be impressed.
18:28I think it is time you get yourself noticed.
18:33Aw.
18:49I beg you, do not make it long.
18:52In the sea.
19:06Be gone,BC.
19:13Just being like people and friends.
19:19Be gone, dull care
19:26You and I shall never agree
19:31Be gone, dull care
19:38Lydia, he's calling me, what?
19:41I really be gone from me
19:45Be gone, dull care
19:51You and I shall never agree
19:58Long time hast thou been tarrying here
20:05And faith thou wouldst me kill
20:11Please, I will, thank you
20:13Faith, don't care
20:18Thou never shalt have thy will
20:31I, um, I have another piece, Father
20:34One that's more lively
20:35Mary, you have delighted us on enough
20:47Oh, Miss Bennet, that was truly unforgettable
20:58It was a beautiful rendition of a difficult song
21:04Everybody saw
21:06Things have got it solved
21:08Take a breath, take a breath
21:11Nobody noticed but you
21:28Mary
21:28Mary
21:32It was you that told Father to stop me playing, wasn't it?
21:35I didn't want you to over-exalt yourself
21:38You insult me
21:39We both know that is not true
21:44Mary
21:46I have had a terrible evening
21:48And yet you always appear to handle everything with such ease
21:51What do you mean?
21:53You always care what you want
21:55Without needing to try
21:57Whereas I try
22:00So hard
22:03And it's always for nothing
22:06Don't say that
22:08There is much you have achieved
22:16I'm sorry
22:19I'm truly sorry
22:38Mary
22:39Mary
22:41You must get dressed and come downstairs
22:42There has been such an upset
22:44You won't believe it
22:44You can't imagine what's happened
22:48Well
22:49Mr. Collins has made Lizzie an offer
22:53And she has refused him
22:54Can you imagine?
22:55Mama is furious
22:56And says Lizzie will have him
22:58But Papa told Lizzie that her choice was a sad one
23:00Because Mother will never see her again if she doesn't marry Collins
23:04And Papa will never see her again if she does
23:06And now everyone is so utterly cross
23:08Mr. Collins has stormed off
23:09Lizzie won't say anything at all
23:11Mama is beside herself
23:12And Papa has shut himself in the library
23:14You must come
23:15So what happens now?
23:16What if Mr. Collins?
23:18Papa thinks he would choose someone else
23:21I don't know
23:22Well, it's more likely to be me than you
23:27No, I am resigned
23:28Mr. Bennett, I shall take my lead
23:30As you wish
23:31Oh, Mr. Collins
23:32I am resigned, madam
23:34Oh, Mr. Collins
23:35This is just a misunderstanding
23:38Mr. Collins has withdrawn his pretensions to Lizzie's favour
23:47I am very glad to hear it
23:48I don't think I could have borne much more of his good opinion
23:51He says he has resigned and will not renew his pursuit
23:55Oh!
24:13Thank you, Hill
24:23I have been thinking, Mary
24:26Since Lizzie was so selfish as to refuse Mr. Collins
24:31I have turned my mind towards you
24:37I think you understand me
24:39Mama, less than a week ago you were adamant that I...
24:43Oh, please
24:44He will not ask me now
24:46I need to be sure that you will accept him when he offers
24:50He will not choose me, Mama
24:53Oh, Mary, he will
24:56Who else will marry him?
25:02What are you reading?
25:06A theory of the earth
25:07It's about rocks
25:08Just types of rocks
25:32One had, uh, obviously hoped for a slightly more capacious dining room, however
25:36I think it's quite sweet
25:38Mr. Bennet
25:41Mr. Collins has made Miss Charlotte Lucas an offer of marriage
25:47And she has accepted
25:49We wish you joy
25:51Yes, so much joy
25:53I wish you joy
25:54Thank you all
25:56She's a good friend
25:57You do know he is a clergyman?
25:58Yes, I am
25:59You do know he is a clergyman
26:01He is a good friend
26:04They are...
26:05They are...
26:05Mr. Bennet
26:05Yeah
26:06Although they are...
26:07Southers
26:08James
26:08I do know he is a person
26:12Mother of me
26:13Oh my goodness
26:14Mother of me
26:16I do know he is a person
26:20I do know he is a person
26:23He is a person
26:24I do know he is a person
26:24I do know he is a person
26:29Have I had any doubts as to whether I'd done the right thing?
26:32They vanished when I told my family of his offer
26:35I am too old to be generous, I'm afraid
26:40Charlotte!
26:43Come marvel at this oak
26:50Goodnight, Jane
26:51Goodnight, Lizzie
26:52Goodnight, Lydia
26:53Goodnight, Mama
26:54Goodnight, Kitty
26:55I told you no one would marry you if you wore spectacles
27:16It wouldn't be for much longer
27:18Wait
27:20That we Bennet sisters live together
27:26As each of my sisters left home
27:31My future felt increasingly uncertain
27:38I often thought back to the events in that period of my life
27:41And wondered if I could have done anything differently
27:47Hmm...
27:49But I was trapped
27:54Unable to escape the loveless world of my parents
27:57Thank you!
27:59Thank you!
28:00Thank you!
28:00I've now stepped into my end
28:02My options were limited
28:12And I found my books offered me no instruction
28:15And little comfort
28:18And little comfort
28:19I searched desperately for answers
28:23I clung on
28:25To hope
28:33But in a moment
28:35My life was upturned
28:40Mr. Bennet
28:41Mr. Bennet
28:41Fetch the doctor
28:42Yes, ma'am
28:45They're bringing the carriage round
28:46Go!
28:47Yes, ma'am
28:47Right away
28:54Father had found a way out
28:56Leaving mother and I
28:58With nothing
29:00Except each other
29:05Anyone
29:05There is a imbalance
29:21Could you call me?
29:23May God
29:23Here mode
29:29As you beloved
29:29I saw
29:29You
29:31To
29:31And
29:32Into
