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 Meriton.
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?
01:04What 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.
01:46He 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?
01:56I 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.
02:45Ugh.
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.
03:28My goodness, no.
03:30No.
03:31Your sister seemed 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.
03:48Oh.
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
03:58and I knew he was looking for a wife,
03:59I would do everything within the bounds of propriety
04:04to 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
04:13the 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,
04:38raised 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.
05:06There.
05:06There.
05:15There.
05:20Mr. Collins.
05:22I'm here.
05:22Meet at last.
05:24Mr. Collins.
05:36This is Jane, our eldest.
05:40Well, I had no idea.
05:44She is soon to be engaged, but the others are not.
05:50This is Elizabeth.
05:56A pleasure.
05:58Oh.
06:01And, uh, Mary.
06:02How do you do?
06:03Mrs. Kitty.
06:04And 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.
06:26Um.
06:28No.
06:29I'm terribly sorry.
06:31I certainly didn't mean to cause any offence.
06:34You 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.
06:45Much smaller than one imagined, but with a few minor modifications will suffice my meek needs.
06:53Do you think so?
07:01I am not worthy of the crumbs which fall from thy table.
07:08Farmer.
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.
07:25Oh, man.
07:26Oh, man.
07:27Mr. Bennet.
07:28What 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.
07:37Hmm.
07:41Shall we?
07:41Mm.
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.
08:06Oh, I am happy on every occasion to offer those delicate little compliments that are agreeable to ladies.
08:12Thank you, Mr. Collins.
08:14Hmm.
08:14Hmm.
08:15And may I commend your reading of grace?
08:17Hmm.
08:18It is very much, hmm, 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.
08:34If only there was some satisfactory way to amend it.
08:39Hmm.
08:41Hmm.
08:42Hmm.
08:42I could say much on the subject.
08:44But I am cautious of appearing forward and, um, precipitate.
08:49Hmm.
08:50I can assure the young ladies that I come prepared to admire them.
08:57Oh, come on.
09:00Have you read Dr. Fordyce, sir?
09:05Hmm.
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.
09:13Hmm.
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.
09:51Hmm.
09:54This has been wonderful.
09:56Hmm.
09:57But now you must let us entertain you, Mr. Collins.
10:01Lizzie?
10:03Won't you play for us?
10:05Ah.
10:13Ah.
10:55Bravo, Lizzie.
10:56Very good, Lizzie.
10:58If you were to practice 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.
11:24Good job.
12:14My congratulations, cousin.
12:15You play with such exactness.
12:21I imagine you practice a great deal.
12:23I practice often.
12:24It is true.
12:25Yes, it is.
12:28It's only through hard work that anything of any value is to be achieved.
12:31Yes.
12:33Yes, I...
12:34Mr Collins, perhaps Elizabeth could take you on a walk around the gardens.
12:49Mary.
12:50Mother.
12:53I do not want any confusion regarding Mr Collins and future prospects.
13:01I'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.
13:11I have no particular feelings for him.
13:15But he and I have similar interests, and 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.
13:25Well, your name has not come up.
13:39Cousins!
13:40Come on.
13:41Ready?
13:42Come on, hit it.
13:43I bring news.
13:44There 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.
13:57They might even be here when the engagement is announced.
14:00So we 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 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.
15:14I'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.
15:44Hey, Hill!
15:46I love my shoes!
15:48Hey, Hill!
16:12The earlier we arrive, the earlier we can leave.
16:15Oh!

17:14dining room but if jane were to get a proposal ma please as i say if jane lizzie seems very
17:26keen
17:26to distance herself from your cousin she's not at all happy about his interest
17:33what is he like tolerable forearms i noticed have you made your interest in him clear i am trying
17:44but your mother seems terribly keen felicity to match with a man of a more distinct income
17:48i cannot think why he is the cousin the one from the entail it's mr collins who stands to inherit
17:56longboard the house the estate the income all of it so my father cannot stand the man while my mother
18:04wants lizzie to bury him

20:10Please, thank you
20:13Faith, don't care
20:18Thou never shalt have thy will
20:24I have another piece, Father, one 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 me
21:08Take a breath, take a breath
21:11Nobody noticed but you
21:28Mary
21:31It 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
21:39We both know that isn't true
21:43Mary
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
21:55Without needing to try
21:57Whereas I try
21:59Whereas I try
22:00So hard
22:04And it's always for nothing
22:06Don't say that
22:08There is much you have achieved
22:16I'm sorry
22:17I'm truly sorry
22:44I'm truly sorry
22:48Well, Mr. Collins has made Lizzie an offer
22:51And 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
23:00Because 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?
23:19Papa 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 have resigned, Mr. Bennett
23:29I shall take my leave
23:30As you wish
23:31Oh, Mr. Collins
23:32I have resigned, Madam
23:34Mr. 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
23:51He says he's 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 was...
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
25:08Just types of...
25:13Rocks
25:32One had obviously hoped for a slightly more capacious dining room, however
25:36I think it's quite sweet we found each other
25:39Mr. 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
26:16Ha ha!
26:18Ha ha!
26:21Please speak to me
26:23Jake
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.
26:50Good night, Jane. Good night, Lizzie.
26:52Good night, Mama.
26:54Good night, Kitty.
26:55I told you no-one would marry you if you wore spectacles.
27:16It wouldn't be for much longer, wait, that we Bennet sisters live together.
27:25As each of my sisters left home, my future felt increasingly uncertain.
27:38I often thought back to the events in that period of my life, and wondered if I could have done
27:44anything differently.
27:49But I was trapped, unable to escape the loveless world of my parents.
27:57My options were limited.
28:12And I found my books offered me no instruction, and little comfort.
28:19I searched desperately for answers.
28:33But in a moment, my life was upturned.
28:54Father had found a way out, leaving Mother and I with nothing, except each other.
29:05I'm afraid to meet you.
29:22I've been in a moment.
29:22And there was a frog that was the thing that we were dealing with.
