Short filmTranscript
00:19In the weeks that followed the disastrous Meriton Assembly, I buried myself in my books,
00:25hoping to stave off the pangs of shame and humiliation.
00:30It was all part of my plan for a new Mary.
00:34I needed a clear mind, unclouded by strong emotion.
00:39I was working on gravitas.
00:43From now on, I would be a steady, informed, and rational woman.
00:49Books would be my guide.
00:51I would think more, and feel less.
01:00What could possibly go wrong?
01:11Well?
01:23I hope you've ordered a good dinner for this evening.
01:27We shall have a guest.
01:28I knew it would be so.
01:31It's not, Mr Bingley.
01:34It's my cousin.
01:36Mr Collins?
01:37The very same.
01:38The man next in the entail.
01:39Who?
01:39The man who, once I am dead, will turn you out of the house as soon as he pleases.
01:45He proposes himself as a guest here at Longbourn?
01:48In point of composition, his letter does not seem entirely defective.
01:52Entirely defective?
01:54Mary, are you quite all right?
01:56I regret deeply the breach which has existed between us for so long.
02:00As a clergyman, I feel it my duty to promote the blessings of peace in all families within my influence.
02:07Blessings of peace in this house?
02:10He must be an oddity.
02:13I cannot make him out.
02:14Can he be a sensible man, sir?
02:16He is a very sensible man, thank you, Elizabeth.
02:19Very sensible indeed.
02:22Oh, can you not all see?
02:24He is looking for a wife.
02:27Do you really think so?
02:28Lizzie?
02:29You must prepare yourself.
02:31But Mama...
02:32We shall find out just what kind of man he is this afternoon.
02:35I have great hopes of his being extremely foolish.
02:39He sounds insufferably boring.
02:42A clergyman.
02:43It's a right to condemn him before we've even met him.
02:46Please, Mary.
02:48I was agreeing with you.
02:49It's the way you say things.
02:57I am looking forward to meeting Mr. Collins this afternoon.
03:07What did you keep under your hat?
03:17We've got you ribbon.
03:18We have.
03:19We do not sparkle as they do, you and I.
03:25Oh, I hope my honesty did not offend him.
03:27My goodness, no.
03:28No.
03:30Your sister seemed most agitated this morning.
03:33My father's cousin, Mr. Collins, is to visit Longbourn, and they've all decided he's a terrible bull.
03:39Mother believes he comes looking for a wife.
03:41A wife?
03:42Apparently.
03:43What is your cousin's profession?
03:45A clergyman.
03:46Oh.
03:47A modest income, then, I imagine.
03:51Do you know what my advice would be to you?
03:54If my father's cousin was coming to stay, and I knew he was looking for a wife, I would do
03:59everything.
04:01Within the bounds of propriety.
04:03To attract him.
04:05Well, I have decided none of this is for me.
04:07I will live alone with knowledge.
04:10Mary cannot seriously believe the life of an old maid is to be preferred.
04:16I do not think my mom has me in mind.
04:19Jane and Lizzie won't settle so low.
04:21Anyway, Jane is nearly taken.
04:22So that leaves you.
04:26You speak nothing of love.
04:31What does love to do with anything?
04:32Of course.
04:33Of course, you're right.
04:34Of course.
04:35For an educated woman, raised to be genteel as we have been, the future holds no other prospect than marriage.
04:43Marriage or misery.
04:44Mary.
04:46Marriage or misery.
04:50I should know.
05:19Mr. Collins here.
05:21Meet at last.
05:28uh this
05:34this is jane our eldest well yeah i had an idea
05:43she is soon to be engaged but um the others are not uh this is elizabeth
05:55a pleasure
05:59and uh mary mrs kitty and our youngest lydia
06:04ah well now i don't know that i will be able to tell the difference between you two
06:16the good looks of my fair cousins far exceed even the most enthusiastic of reports
06:24oh um no uh i'm i'm i'm terribly sorry i i i certainly didn't mean to cause any offense
06:32oh you cause no offense mr collins of course you didn't
06:38allow me to show you the house
06:40hmm oh splendid splendid uh much smaller than one imagined but with a few minor modifications
06:48will suffice my meek needs
07:00i am not worthy of the crumbs which fall from my table
07:07amen and yet that gives unto me the bread of life
07:12nevermore give me that bread that that i may eat
07:16thereof and and not die
07:21eternally
07:23yes exactly oh man mr bennett what a magnificent dining table even with the uh heavy curtains and
07:32and the lack of natural light in here one can still see its quality how generous of you
07:39shall we
07:48mr collins
07:56mr bennett i expect your daughters will be quickly and advantageously disposed of
08:00in marriage disposed it is very good of you to say so

08:07delicate little compliments that are agreeable to ladies
08:11thank you mr collins and may i commend your reading of grace it is very much stayed with me
08:19it is most unfortunate that our girls have no proper portion to bring to their husbands
08:25please excuse me you allude perhaps to the entail of this estate it is a most vexing situation
08:32if only there was some satisfactory way to amend it
08:38hmm
08:40hmm i i i could say much on the subject but i am cautious of appearing forward and um precipitate
08:49i can assure the young ladies that i come prepared to admire them
08:59have you read dr fordice sir
09:03hmm i certainly have cousin elizabeth what make you of the sermons i'm sure i haven't had time to read

10:54Bravo, Lizzie.
10:55Yeah.
10:56Very good, Lizzie.
10:57If you were to practice properly, you really might master it.
10:59It seems a great shame to wring all the pleasure out of music.
11:02A few false notes seems a small price to pay in exchange.
11:06Great shame to waste a gift, that is all.
11:08Quite right.
11:11Why don't you show us how it is done, Mary?
11:22Oh, Lord.
11:22Oh, Lord.

17:31what is he like
17:34tolerable forearms i noticed
17:37have you made your interest in him clear i am trying but
17:43your mother seems terribly keen for lizzie to match with a man of a modest income

20:00thou been tarrying here,
20:04and faith thou wouldst me kill, faith don't care, thou never shalt have, I will.
20:30I have another piece, father, one that's more lively.
20:34Mary, you have delighted us long enough.
20:46Oh, Miss Bennett, that was truly unforgettable.
20:57It was a beautiful rendition of a difficult song.
21:03Mary.
21:04Everybody saw it.
21:05The fingers have gone.
21:07Take a breath, take a breath.
21:10Nobody noticed but you.
21:26Mary.
21:30It was you that told father to stop me playing, wasn't it?
21:33Mary.
21:34I didn't want you to overexate yourself.
21:36You insult me.
21:38We both know that isn't true.
21:42Mary.
21:45I have had a terrible evening.
21:47And yet you always appear to handle everything with such ease.
21:50What do you mean?
21:51You always care what you want without needing to try.
21:56Whereas I try so hard.
22:03It is always for nothing.
22:05Don't say that.
22:07There is much you have achieved.
22:15I'm sorry.
22:18I'm truly sorry.
22:31I'm truly sorry.
22:36Mary!
22:38Mary!
22:40The musket dressing come downstairs.
22:41There has been such an upset you won't believe it.
22:43You can't imagine what's happened.
22:47Well, Mr. Collins has made Lizzie an offer.
22:51And she has refused him.
22:53Can you imagine?
22:54Mama is furious and says Lizzie will have him.
22:57But Papa told Lizzie that her choice was a sad one.
22:59Because mother will never see her again if she doesn't marry Collins.
23:03And Papa will never see her again if she does.
23:05And now everyone is so utterly cross.
23:07Mr. Collins has stormed off.
23:08Lizzie won't say anything at all.
23:09Mama is beside herself.
23:11And Papa has shut himself in the library.
23:13You must come.
23:14So what happens now?
23:15Now what of Mr. Collins?
23:17Papa thinks he would choose someone else.
23:19I don't know.
23:21Well, it's more likely to be me than you.
23:25No, I am resigned.
23:27Mr. Bennett, I shall take my leave.
23:29As you wish.
23:30Oh, Mr. Collins!
23:31I have resigned, Madam.
23:33Mr. Collins.
23:34This is just a misunderstanding.
23:40Mr. Collins has withdrawn his pretensions to Lizzie's favour.
23:45I'm very glad to hear it.
23:47I don't think I could have borne much more of his good opinion.
23:50He says he's resigned and will not renew his pursuit.
23:54Oh!
23:56Oh!
24:12Thank you, Hill.
24:22I have been thinking, Mary, since Lizzie was so selfish as to refuse Mr. Collins, I have turned my mind
24:31towards you.
24:36I think you understand me.
24:39Mama, less than a week ago you were adamant that I was not-
24:41Mary, please.
24:43He will not ask me now.
24:46I need to be sure that you will accept him when he offers.
24:49He will not choose me, Mama.
24:52Oh, Mary, he will.
24:55Who else will marry him?
25:00What are you reading?
25:04A theory of the earth.
25:06It's about rocks.
25:08Just types of rocks.
25:27Yes, plainly new, sir.
25:31One had obviously hoped for a slightly more capacious dining room, however.
25:36I think it's quite sweet we found each other.
25:38Mr. Bennet.
25:40Mr. Collins has made Miss Charlotte Lucas an offer of marriage.
25:45And she has accepted.
25:48We wish you joy.
25:50Yes.
25:51So much joy.
25:52I wish you joy.
25:53Thank you all.
25:55You do know he is a clergyman?
25:57Yes, I know.
25:58You must not do it.
25:59This is like a man.
26:00It's a good man.
26:02They are...
26:03Mr. Collins.
26:05...all the other side.
26:10I don't know.
26:12Oh, my goodness.
26:14I don't know.
26:15I don't know.
26:15I think the agent's got a salary.
26:17I don't know.
26:17I don't know.
26:19I don't know.
26:20Yes.
26:28Have I had any doubts as to whether I'd done the right thing?
26:31They vanished when I told my family of his offer.
26:34I am too old to be generous, I'm afraid.
26:36I don't know.
26:39Charlotte?
26:42Come and marvel at this oak.
26:49Good night, Jane.
26:50Good night, Lizzie.
26:51Good night, Lizzie.
26:52Good night, Mama.
26:52Good night, Kitty.
26:54I told you no one would marry you
26:56if you wore spectacles.
27:12It wouldn't be for much longer
27:17that we Bennett sisters live together.
27:24As each of my sisters left home
27:29my future felt
27:31increasingly uncertain.
27:36I often thought back to the events
27:38in that period of my life
27:40and wondered if I could have done anything
27:44differently.
27:48But I was trapped.
27:52Unable to escape
27:53the loveless world of my parents.
27:56Thank you!
27:59Thank you!
27:59I'm not scared!
28:00I'm not scared!
28:01I'm not scared!
28:01I'm not scared!
28:02Thank you!
28:04My options were limited.
28:10And I found my books
28:12offered me no instruction
28:14and little comfort.
28:17I searched desperately for answers.
28:21I clung on
28:23to hope.
28:32But in a moment
28:34my life
28:35was upturned.
28:38Mr Bennett?
28:40Fetch the doctor!
28:43They're bringing the carriage round!
28:45Go!
28:46Yes ma'am!
28:46Right away!
28:53Father had found a way out
28:55leaving mother and I
28:57with nothing
28:58except each other.
