Short filmTranscript
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.
01:35It'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.
01:47He 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.
02:16Can he be a sensible man, sir?
02:18He is a very sensible man.
02:19Thank you, Elizabeth.
02:21Very sensible indeed.
02:24Oh, can you not all see?
02:26He 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.
02:45It wasn't right to condemn him before we've even met him.
02:48Please, Mary.
02:49I 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 did you keep under your hat?
03:18Who's got your ribbons?
03:20We have.
03:20We do not sparkle as they do, you and I.
03:26Oh, I hope my honesty did not offend.
03:28Oh, my goodness.
03:29No.
03:30No.
03:31Your sisters seem most agitated this morning.
03:34My father's cousin, Mr. Collins, is to visit Longbourn
03:38and they've all decided he's a terrible bull.
03:40Mother believes he comes looking for a wife.
03:43A wife?
03:43Apparently.
03:45What is your cousin's profession?
03:46A clergyman.
03:47Oh.
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,
04:00I would do everything 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.
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.
04:27You 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,
04:40the 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.
05:29Ah.
05:32This...
05:36This is Jane, our eldest.
05:40Well, I had an idea.
05:44She is soon to be engaged, but the others are not.
05:50This is Elizabeth.
05:56A pleasure.
06:00And Mary.
06:02How do you do?
06:03This is Kitty and our youngest, Lydia.
06:06Ah.
06:07Well, now.
06:08I 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.
06:25Oh.
06:28No.
06:29I'm terribly sorry.
06:31I suddenly 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.
06:43Splendid.
06:44Splendid.
06:45Much smaller than one imagined, but with a few minor modifications will suffice my meek needs.
06:52I'm pleased you think so.
07:02I am not worthy of the crumbs which fall from thy table.
07:08Amen.
07:09And yet thou gives unto me the bread of life.
07:12Evermore, 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 heavy curtains and the lack of natural light in here, one can still see its quality.
07:36How generous of you.
07:37Hmm.
07:38Hmm.
07:41Shall we?
07:43Mr. 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.
08:06Hmm.
08:06Oh, I am happy on every occasion to offer those delicate little compliments that are agreeable to ladies.
08:12Thank you, Mr. Collins.
08:14Hmm.
08:15And may I commend your reading of grace?
08:17Hmm.
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.
08:26Please excuse me.
08:28You allude perhaps to the entail of this estate?
08:32It is a most vexing situation.
08:35If only there was some satisfactory way to amend it.
08:40Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.
08:43I could say much on the subject.
08:44But I am cautious of appearing forward and, um, precipitate.
08:49Hmm.
08:51I can assure the young ladies that I come prepared to admire them.
08:57Hmm.
09:00Have you read Dr. Fordyce, sir?
09:05Hmm.
09:05I certainly have.
09:06Uh, Cousin Elizabeth?
09:08What make you of the sermons?
09:11I'm sure I haven't had time to read them, sir.
09:13Hmm.
09:14So 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.
09:26More wine, Mr. Collins.
09:29Hmm.
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.
09:56Hmm.
09:57But now you must let us entertain you, Mr. Collins.
10:01Lizzy?
10:03Won't you play for us?
10:06Ah.
10:07Yeah.
10:12Yeah.
10:22show up.
10:28Um, and, uh, you're so happy to be.
10:31I just wanna be here.
10:31It's fun.
10:31It's fun.
10:31Oh.
10:32It's fun.
10:32Tell me what I'm doing.
10:33It's fun.
10:33Oh.
10:34It's fun.
10:34It's fun.
10:34Yeah.
10:55Bravo, Lizzie.
10:56Yeah.
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.
11:09Hmm. Quite right.
11:12Why don't you show us how it is done, Mary?
11:23Oh, Lord.
11:35Oh, Lord.
11:36Oh, Lord.
11:36Oh, Lord.
11:50Oh, Lord.
12:14My congratulations, cousin.
12:15You play with such exactness.
12:21I imagine you practice a great deal.
12:23I practice often, which is true.
12:26Yes, it is.
12:28It's only through hard work that anything of any value is to be achieved.
12:31Yes, um...
12:33Yes, I...
12:34Mr Collins, perhaps Elizabeth could take you on a walk around the gardens.
12:40Hmm.
12:43Hmm.
12:49Mary.
12:50Mother.
12:52I do not want any confusion regarding Mr Collins and future prospects.
13:00I am 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.
13:11I have no particular feelings for him.
13:14But 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 next week at Neverfield.
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.
13:57Hmm.
13:57They might even be here when the engagement isn't over.
14:00We are some way off that.
14:03Mr and Mrs Gardiner shall be joining us.
14:06They're coming down from London.
14:07Up.
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, you would take the first dance with me?
14:27Oh, how wonderful.
14:29Maybe I should play a little something on the... on the piano?
14:33Yeah!
14:34Yes!
14:34You should indeed.
14:36What about you, Miss Elizabeth?
14:38Do you sing?
14:40There 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.
15:08Hmm.
15:09Thank you, Hill.
15:10Mr Collins thinks I'm a very good player.
15:13Huh?
15:14I'm planning to play at the assembly.
15:16At Netherfield?
15:17Yes.
15:19I was even thinking...
15:21I might sing.
15:22Sing?
15:23Miss Mary?
15:24It will be a surprise to them all.
15:29Short and sweet.
15:31That would be my advice.
15:35And, er...
15:37Maybe don't sing.
15:38You know what, Muss...
15:42Pff...
15:45Help!
15:46I'm lost my sister.
15:48Help!
15:49No, no, no!
15:53Mmm-ga!
15:54Mm-ga.
15:55Mm-ga!
15:57Mmmm!
15:57Mmm.
16:13The earlier we arrive, the earlier we can leave.
16:17Oh.
16:22Oh.
16:23Oh.
16:25Oh.
16:30Ah.
16:34OK, as well as she does.
16:40I'm sure you'd just be 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.
17:18Come on.
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.
17:32What is he like?
17:35Tolerable forearms, I noticed.
17:38Have you made your interest in him clear?
18:04Have you made your interest in him clear?
18:07I am trying.
18:09Oh.
18:10Perhaps I will not play tonight.
18:14Oh, Mary, you must.
18:17I had prepared a little something, but...
18:22Now the time is here.
18:23I'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.
18:49I beg you, do not make it long.
19:06I beg you, do not care.
19:13I pray thee be gone from me.
19:19Be gone, dull care.
19:26You and I shall never agree.
19:33Be gone, dull care.
19:38Lydia.
19:40He's calling it.
19:41Be gone from me.
19:45Be gone, dull care.
19:51You and I shall never agree.
19:59Long time has thou been tarrying me.
20:05And faith thou wouldst me kill.
20:11Please.
20:12I will.
20:13Faith, don't care.
20:18Thou never shalt have thy will.
20:31I have another piece, Father.
20:34One that's more lively.
20:35Mary.
20:36Mary, you have denied us long enough.
20:47Oh, Miss Bennett, that was truly unforgettable.
20:59It was a beautiful rendition of a difficult song.
21:04Mary.
21:05Everybody saw it.
21:07Everybody saw it.
21:07It was a good song.
21:09Take a breath.
21:10Take a breath.
21:10And nobody noticed but you.
21:27Mary.
21:31Mary.
21:32It was you that told Father to stop me playing, wasn't it?
21:35I didn't want you to overexcite yourself.
21:37You insult me.
21:39Mary.
21:40We both know that it's 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?
21:52You always get what you want without needing to try.
21:57Whereas I try so hard.
22:04And 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.
22:37I'm truly sorry.
22:38Mary!
22:39Mary!
22:41You must get dressed and come downstairs.
22:42There has been such an upset, you won't believe it.
22:44You can't imagine what's happened.
22:48Well, Mr. Collins has made Lizzie an offer.
22:53And she has refused him.
22:54Can you imagine?
22:55Mama is furious and says Lizzie will have him.
22:58But Papa told Lizzie that her choice was a sad one.
23:01Because 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, what of Mr. Collins?
23:19Papa 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 leave.
23:30As you wish.
23:31Oh, Mr. Collins!
23:41Mr. Collins has withdrawn his pretensions to Lizzie's favour.
23:47I'm very glad to hear it.
23:48I don't think I could have borne much more of his good opinion.
23:52He says he's resigned and will not renew his pursuit.
23:55Oh!
24:14Thank 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.
24:38I think you understand me.
24:40Mama, less than a week ago you were adamant that I...
24:42Mary, please.
24:44He will not ask me now.
24:47I need to be sure that you will accept him when he offers.
24:51He 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.
25:09Just types of...
25:11rocks.
25:16I...
25:18I...
25:40I...
25:41Mr. Collins has made Miss Charlotte Lucas an offer of marriage.
25:47And she has accepted.
25:49We wish you joy.
25:51Yes.
25:52So much joy.
25:53I wish you joy.
25:54Thank you all.
25:56You do know he is a clergyman.
25:58Yes, I am.
25:59You've learned to be his.
26:02They are...
26:04Mr. Kennedy.
26:05Mother.
26:06Mm.
26:06Mm.
26:07Mm.
26:10Oh, my goodness.
26:13Mud of green.
26:14Oh, my goodness.
26:15Mud of green.
26:16Mm.
26:16I do take this.
26:17I have a great...
26:20Ha, ha, ha.
26:29If 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.
26:51Good night, Jane. Good night, Lizzie.
26:52Good night, Lydia. Good night, Kitty.
26:55I told you no-one would marry you if you wore spectacles.
27:14Look at the cat.
27:16It wouldn't be for much longer...
27:18Wait.
27:20...that we Bennet sisters lived together.
27:26As each of my sisters left home...
27:30...my future felt increasingly uncertain.
27:38I often thought back to the events in that period of my life...
27:42...and wondered if I could have done anything...
27:45...differently.
27:46Hmm.
27:50But I was trapped.
27:53Unable to escape the loveless world of my parents.
27:57Thank you!
27:59Thank you!
28:00Thank you!
28:01Thank you!
28:06My options were limited.
28:12And I found my books offered me no instruction...
28:16...and little comfort.
28:18I searched desperately for answers.
28:23I clung on...
28:25...to hope.
28:28Thank you!
28:30Thank you!
28:34But in a moment...
28:36...my life was upturned.
28:40Mr. Bennet?
28:41Fetch the doctor!
28:43Yes, ma'am.
28:45They're ringing the carriage round.
28:46Go!
28:47Yes, ma'am. Right away.
28:48No!
28:54Father had found a way out...
28:57...leaving mother and I...
28:58...with nothing...
29:00...except each other.
29:03Artistic plot.
29:16...to a contact us...
29:17...have one recommence...
29:22...to a perfect missus.
29:22Après...
29:27...actors are migrated...
29:29...and a plummet...
29:29...and on.
29:29Be careful...
29:31Look.
29:31To be afraid...
29:31...pans the recipe!
29:32...en to put an eye on...
