00:38It is a sad fact of life that if a young woman is unlucky enough to come into the world
00:43without expectations,
00:44she had better do all she can to ensure that she is beautiful.
00:52To be poor and handsome is misfortune enough.
00:56But to be penniless and plain is a hard fate indeed.
01:03Or so my mother taught us.
01:07Mr. Bennet, have you heard?
01:09Netherfield Park is lit at last.
01:12I have not.
01:17Do you want to know who has taken it?
01:20You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.
01:23I would like to know.
01:26It has been led to a Mr. Bingley, a single man of large fortune, four or five thousand a year.
01:37I heard someone came down on Monday in a chaise and four.
01:41From whom did you hear this?
01:43Girls, you must prepare yourselves.
01:47Mrs. Long told me he is from the north of England.
01:50He saw Netherfield Park, fell in love with it and snapped it up straight away.
01:54In order to understand my mother's enthusiasm for this stranger's arrival,
01:59we must start at the beginning.
02:04With cake.
02:06In Meriton, England.
02:12Where a wealthy boy met beautiful girl.
02:16Father, meet mother.
02:19Sadly, the happiness of this union was to be undone by an archaic entail that meant only a male heir
02:25could inherit my father's estate.
02:27And what followed was girls, after girls, after girls, after girls, after girls, after girls.
02:39That's his fortune, and her beauty were worthless.
02:44Mother spent her days trying to involve father in how to overcome their dire situation.
02:49But father hid in his newspaper, indifferent to the cause.
02:53Why should he engage?
02:54When the time comes...
02:55I'll be dead anyway.
02:59Our mother, not known for giving up easily,
03:02found a chink of light.
03:04A saving grace.
03:06Each of her children possessed a certain je ne sais quoi.
03:10Be it Jane's beauty,
03:14Lizzie's wit,
03:17Kitty's good humour,
03:18or Lydia's
03:20spirit.
03:23If she could secure advantageous marriages for each of us girls,
03:27it would be enough to save us all from destitution.
03:32Although I had not found my own best quality,
03:37I was quite sure that I would.
03:40My fault, Mary.
03:42Until the day my mother's true opinion of me was confirmed.
03:45Mary has an awfully...
03:47ruddy complexion.
03:49She does not have the complexion of her sisters, that is true.
03:53And she is clumsy.
03:55Ungamely.
03:56Maladroite,
03:57as they say.
03:59Four good marriages will have to do.
04:02I only hope she does not ruin her sister's chances.
04:44If you're not the beautiful one, the quick-witted one, or the ones that are good at games and full
04:51of youthful energy, then who are you?
04:55And what can you do if you're the odd one out?
05:00Is it possible you'll ever find a way to fit in?
05:07Worse, I think.
05:21Worse still.
05:23Do not fret, Miss Bennet.
05:37Have we found it?
05:39I think we have, Mr. Sparrow.
05:41Oh, thank goodness for that.
05:51You see, the lenses here correct your vision by bending light rays.
05:55Well, I never.
06:12You really do look very well in your spectacles.
06:16Especially when you smile.
06:21Ah, I do not think my mother will agree.
06:24But I have a great passion for reading, and I would have been sad to stop.
06:30I hope they will help you better enjoy the upcoming Meritan assembly.
06:34An assembly?
06:35Yes.
06:35In a month.
06:37I heard this morning.
06:39My sisters will be pleased.
06:43Perhaps I shall see you there.
06:51Miss Mary, you ought to get on.
06:53Oh, of course, he'll.
06:54I'll settle affairs here.
06:58And thank you, Mr. Sparrow.
07:07I have news.
07:11There's going to be an assembly in Meritan in a month.
07:13We know.
07:14Oh.
07:15I'm going to be the one to tell Mama.
07:17This will mark my first assembly.
07:20My first venture into society.
07:24So it will.
07:28How would I secure a partner for dancing?
07:30I've always wondered.
07:32Oh, Mary, I'm sure your clever mind can work out something as simple as dance partners.
07:36Do not fret.
07:38Do not.
07:38Not fretting.
07:40I'm not fretting.
07:49Yes, I thought it was.
07:51Yes.
07:52Yes.
07:53Yes.
07:54Yes.
08:05I'm going to fill my card with dancers.
08:08Jane, do you think I shall be allowed to dance?
08:09Mary, move.
08:11Do you hope you're not going to stand this close at the assembly?
08:14Oh, we should have taken the long route.
08:16Oh, these are my good boots.
08:19Oh.
08:20All for you for wearing them.
08:23Dan.
08:25What are you going to wear?
08:26I've got to wear the green dress.
08:27The green dress.
08:28Do you think russet would be too harsh for my complexion?
08:32I don't see why it should.
08:33It would match my eyes, I suppose.
08:35Your eyes are green.
08:38You are so inattentive.
08:44Mr. Thompson told me himself I was the first to know that the ball is confirmed.
08:48We were the first.
08:49When I was the first, he was stood a little behind me.
08:51It is wonderful.
08:53What will I wear?
08:54Are Kitty and Lydia allowed to attend the ball, Father?
08:57Why would we not be?
08:57I was the one that found out about it.
08:59Am I allowed?
09:01Jane, Lizzie, you will of course go.
09:04And Mary.
09:04Father, I shall die if I do not go.
09:07I'll probably die too.
09:08I very much doubt that.
09:09Mr. Bennet, Kitty and Lydia will also need to find husbands.
09:14After Jane and Lizzie, of course.
09:19I don't see what the fuss is all about.
09:21Those horrible, sweaty affairs.
09:24Mary, you will attend.
09:27Oh.
09:29Oh, well, of course, Mother, if you wish.
09:33Lady Lucas and I will need someone to fetch us our drinks.
09:35As long as I am not expected to attend.
09:37Mr. Bennet.
09:38I told you, I will not attend another of those insufferable, muddy little dancers.
09:43Oh.
09:43I wonder if Mr. Bingley will be going to the Meryton Assembly.
09:47Oh, he must be.
09:49Who would admit it?
09:50Me, apparently.
09:52You shall all go to the ball, as long as I am obliged to hear no more about it.
09:58I shall never be rid of you otherwise.
10:01Perhaps I shall dance with Bingley, too.
10:03And me.
10:03This excitement over a man you've never set eyes on is quite ridiculous.
10:06Oh, Mary, we're only indulging ourselves.
10:16Mary is wearing spectacles.
10:18What on earth?
10:20Very good.
10:21I hope you find them most useful, Mary.
10:23I do, Father.
10:25Mr. Bennet, did you know about this?
10:28We discussed this at length.
10:30Mary was to visit the optician.
10:31Yes.
10:32But I did not know that you would actually need to wear glasses.
10:36You seem to forget, my dear, that I wear spectacles myself.
10:40But she is a woman.
10:42Nevertheless, she ought to be able to see.
10:45I think they look very well.
10:50Potatoes, Mary.
10:54In case she couldn't see them.
10:57I think you're very brave to be prepared to look so ugly.
11:00Lydia.
11:00But Papa, who is going to dance with Mary with those things on her face?
11:03Pleased to be able to read.
11:07Oh, I do hope you are to meet him.
11:09Surely we must.
11:11Spectacles indeed.
11:13I wonder who he is.
11:19Mama, Kitty and I will meet in your dresses before.
11:25need to be grateful to her.
11:44There is a room for her.
11:44We will be able to go out to sleep.
11:44You want to gather if she's new to her.
11:44Bye-bye.
11:44If we have room for ourみ, her background is there.
11:46Just let the room Freddy Алgul 3.
11:48Nice.
11:49There is no room for her.
11:49You're welcome to the room for lunch.
11:49I do not.
11:49Mm-hmm.
11:52And if we are.
12:10Maybe I could help you pick out a dress
12:13for the Meriton Assembly, Miss Mary
12:15Oh, hell
12:18What am I to do at a dance?
12:21Dance?
12:23Oh, what if no one wants to dance with me?
12:28Then you'll eat lots of ices
12:31Such fripperies are not for me
12:33I wonder, Miss Mary, if you don't see yourself clearly
12:36If you're saying I don't bear comparison to my sisters, I've known that for years
12:40A daffodil might look plain next to a lily
12:43but on its own there is much to be admired
12:46Now I am tall and yellow
12:48Miss Mary, I wonder if you wouldn't be a little happier if you went out in the world
12:56and saw yourself how other people see you
12:59outside of your family
13:04Well, that's decided
13:06I am picking you out a new dress for the Assembly
13:11And I will not hear another word on the subject
13:25Hang on! I've lost my ribbon!
13:31Madam!
13:32Madam!
13:33Madam!
13:38Madam, please remain still if you can
13:47Does the gold make me look like?
13:53A little
13:56Kitty!
13:56What is it?
13:58Those are my books, Lydia
13:59I cannot reach my jewelry box
14:01I need something to stand on
14:02This is important, Mary
14:04You need to start getting ready, Miss Mary
14:15Jane is first
14:16That's not fair, I'm always last
14:19Mary can go last
14:21Do you think I'll be able to dance on it?
14:26Does it still hurt?
14:28Yes
14:28It was two weeks ago
14:29I know
14:31Should we eat beforehand?
14:34Perhaps a very small meal
14:35And don't drink too much
14:36But what if I'm thirsty?
14:38Lydia, I don't suppose you want to relieve yourself behind a screen in front of everyone
14:42Listen
14:47I can't go now
14:48I can't see
14:48I can't wait
14:48If I can't wait
14:53I can't wait
14:54Go
14:57You're welcome
15:03To the airport
15:04I will not come out
15:12I'm not big
15:12I'm a professional
15:12As you can't wait
15:12I'm enjoying
15:12You're welcome
15:12I'm not big
15:19Is it too fine for me, do you think?
15:21You look very handsome in it.
15:35Katie, we have taken a party.
15:38We have, we have.
15:39Miss Lillian, you have plenty of party.
15:41We have a cent.
15:52We have a cent.
16:55I like your dress, Mary.
16:58Oh, Charlotte.
17:01What's on route?
17:02I swear, the crowd gets bigger every season.
17:04You should limit entry to those young ladies.
17:06Fortunate enough, we'll secure the parties.
17:09I thought the very same thing.
17:24I thought the very same thing.
17:45Mr. Bingley, welcome.
17:48These are my sisters, Louisa, and this is Caroline.
17:51This is Mr. Hurst and Mr. Darcy.
17:54And if I may present, Mrs. Bennet.
17:59Mrs. Jane Bennet, Mrs. Elizabeth Bennet, Kitty and Lydia.
18:10Oh, and this is Mrs. Mary Bennet.
18:18Mr. Campbell's girl in the whole neighborhood.
18:21That is a great achievement, to be sure.
18:24Study clearly trumps all other considerations in your mind.
18:28What an example to us all.
18:30Come on.
18:35Come on.
18:38If I could still roll into the party, I'll start.
18:40Oh, God.
18:41I did.
20:00Excuse me, Miss Bennett.
20:02What?
20:03I do not mean to intrude, but it is very bad for your eyes to screw them up in such
20:07a fashion.
20:08Mr. Farrow!
20:09Perhaps I may be permitted to help you find what you're looking for.
20:14I was looking for, uh...
20:17My sister.
20:19Take his hand.
20:22I'm quite exhausted from all the dancing.
20:24I just chose to sit this one out.
20:28That is a shame.
20:30I was going to ask if you would do me the honor of standing up with me for the next
20:34dance.
20:35Actually, I'm now feeling much rested.
20:38And I would be delighted.
20:40Well then, I thank you.
20:43Oh, yes.
20:44Oh, um...
20:46Shall we remain here until the next session?
20:48Oh, that's exactly what I thought.
20:51Yeah.
21:00How are your spectacles?
21:02Very well.
21:02Yes, um...
21:03I'm able to study for hours without dissing.
21:06I am delighted to hear that.
21:15Perhaps you could recommend a book to me.
21:17What do you read with such enjoyment?
21:22Well, Mrs. Catherine Macaulay has written a wonderful account of British history.
21:26It's a fascinating read.
21:27I will seek it out.
21:29Oh, are you a scholar, sir?
21:31I like to read.
21:32But science rather than history.
21:34I have a plan to study medicine in London.
21:37Barts or maybe Morpheus.
21:40What a noble ambition.
21:42But it is not a thing widely known.
21:44I have not mentioned it to anyone before you.
21:48I should speak of it to no one.
22:02Sorry.
22:03Sorry...
22:04Sorry.
23:04Do you have less oyster patties?
23:08It's fewer.
23:10It's fewer oyster patties.
23:15Here we go!
23:34Here we go!
23:38Here we go!
23:40Here we go!
23:44Here we go!
24:00Here we go!
24:01Would you like a cold drink, Miss Bennett?
24:03Oh, yes, that's an excellent idea. Thank you.
24:18It looks as though you are enjoying yourself, Mary.
24:22Your partner is the young John Sparrow, isn't he?
24:26Yes, the optician's son.
24:29And you have danced with him twice.
24:33Mary, you are very young, and perhaps do not fully appreciate how things are understood.
24:41If you are to dance with him again, it will be remarked upon.
24:44Two dances in succession suggest a liking, three might imply something more.
24:52I'm very happy dancing with him.
25:07I see that you have stood up twice with the Sparrow boy.
25:11Yes, Mama.
25:14You will not dance with him again.
25:20But, Mother, he's been most attentive.
25:23He's quite the gentleman.
25:25Mary, his father owns a shop.
25:29Yes?
25:30With a bell.
25:34Mother, I have danced with him twice.
25:37Twice.
25:38I have no wish to marry him.
25:39You may not object to lowering yourself,
25:42but I will not have you ruin your sister's chances of a match.
26:08Would you care to dance again, Miss Bennet, once we have finished our ices?
26:14Mrs. Sparrow, I am afraid that I shall...
26:19I shall not be able to stand up with you again this evening.
26:22Oh.
26:24But I thought...
26:26I thought...
26:29I hope I have not offended you.
26:30No, no, no.
26:31Not at all, sir.
26:32I've...
26:32Oh, I've...
26:34I've very much enjoyed dancing with you.
26:37It's, um...
26:40That is to say that, um...
26:44My mother is concerned.
26:46Concerned?
26:47Uh, um, for my sisters and I.
26:50Um, it's important that we make an, uh, appropriate social, um...
26:56One might say, uh, financially, um...
27:00Well, a suitable match.
27:03Miss Bennet, there is no need for an explanation.
27:05I shall not pursue the matter.
27:07I've enjoyed...
27:08I've enjoyed my time with, um...
27:10Good evening to you.
27:14I'm sorry.
27:15I'm sorry.
27:17I'm sorry.
27:50I have little time for his friend.
27:53Please do not hold that against Mr. Bingley.
27:56Do you want me to go again soon?
27:57Yes.
27:58I danced with two soldiers.
28:00I'm not very good with faces, so I'm not sure how many times I stood up with anyone.
28:04Ew!
28:05As my mother and sisters happily dissected every moment of the ball, I felt a terrible
28:10sense of shame.
28:12I had caused hurt to a man whose only crime was being kind to me.
28:20Who was I?
28:22A coward who lacked the courage to follow her own inclinations?
28:27It was time to find my own way.
28:30To look for a new version of myself, as a serious-minded woman.
28:37From now on, knowledge and reason would be my guide.
28:42No more ribbons, ballgowns, or dance cards.
28:45The old Mary would be no more.
28:48I would transform into the intellectual one.
28:52That was how I would stand out, as the other Bennet sister.
29:02Not long to wait.
