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?
07:41Hmm.
07:50Hmm.
07:53Hmm.
07:56Hmm.
07:57Hmm.
07:58Hmm.
07:58Mr. 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...
08:37...satisfactory way to amend it.
08:40Hmm.
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.
09:06Uh, cousin Elizabeth.
09:08What make you of the sermons?
09:11I'm sure I haven't had time to read them, sir.
09:13Hmm.
09:13So 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.
09:26Yeah, more wine, Mr. Collins.
09:29Hmm.
09:34I will that women adorn themselves with sobriety.
09:39Let your speech be always...
09:42...be always, with grace, seasoned...
09:50...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?
10:06Ah.
10:10Hmm.
10:13Hmm.
10:23Hmm.
10:28Hmm.
10:29Haha.
10:30Yeah?
10:34Hmm.
10:55Bravo, Lizzie.
10:56Yeah.
10:57Very 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.
11:07It's a great 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.
11:47Oh, Lord.
12:14My congratulations, cousin.
12:15You play with such exactness.
12:21I imagine you practice a great deal.
12:23I practice often.
12:24Which is true.
12:25Yes, it is.
12:28It's only through hard work that anything of any value is to be achieved.
12:31Yes, um...
12:33Yes, I...
12:35Mr. Collins, perhaps Elizabeth could take you on a walk around the gardens.
12:41Hm.
12:49Barry.
12:50Mother.
12:52I do not want any confusion regarding Mr. Collins and future prospects.
13:29I'm not sure I understand.
13:39Cousins!
13:40Come on.
13:41Er...
13:41Ready?
13:42Come on, hit it!
13:43I bring news.
13:44There is to be...
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.
13:54And my brother and his wife shall be visiting.
13:57Mm-hmm.
13:57They might even be here when the engagement is announced.
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.
14:17Ha!
14:17A real family affair.
14:19I will need new ribbons.
14:21Ah!
14:21Perhaps, Miss Bennet, um, you, uh, would...
14:25would take the first dance with me?
14:27Oh!
14:27How wonderful!
14:29Maybe I should play a little something on the...
14:32on the piano?
14:33Yeah, yes!
14:34Ha!
14:34You should indeed!
14:36Yeah!
14:36What about you, Miss Elizabeth?
14:38Do you sing?
14:40There-there is nothing I admire more than a woman with a...
14:46wide vocal range.
14:48Ha!
15:03Very good, Miss Mary.
15:06Your playing is coming along nicely.
15:08Hmm.
15:09Thank you, Hill.
15:10Mr. Collins.
15:11Thanks.
15:11I'm a very good player.
15:13Huh?
15:14I'm planning to play at the assembly.
15:16At Netherfield?
15:17Yes.
15:18I was even thinking...
15:21I might sing.
15:23Sing?
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...
15:36maybe don't sing.
15:44Help!
15:46I lost my food!
15:48Help!
15:49No!
15:51No!
15:53No!
15:54No!
15:57No!
15:58No!
16:12No!
16:13The earlier we arrive, the earlier we can leave.
16:17Oh.
16:19Oh.
16:25Oh.
16:27Oh.
16:30Oh.
16:38Okay, as well as she does.
16:40I'm sure you just be honest.
16:41So...
16:43Lady Lucas, Charlotte,
16:46please meet my brother and his dear wife,
16:48Mr. and Mrs. Gardner.
16:51They're down from London. Up.
16:53What? Up from London.
16:56And this
16:58is my very distant
17:00cousin, Mr. Collins.
17:03Shall we do?
17:08Something
17:08for the challenge to
17:11find husbands
17:12for five daughters. This is a beautiful
17:14dining room. But if Jane
17:16were to get a proposal...
17:18Ma, please.
17:23As I say,
17:24if Jane... Lizzie seems very keen
17:26to distance herself from your cousin.
17:29She's not at all happy about
17:30his interest.
17:32What is he like?
17:35Tolerable forearms,
17:37I noticed.
17:38Have you made your interest in him clear?
17:40I am trying.
17:43But...
17:44Your mother seems terribly keen
17:46for Lizzie to a match with a man of a more distinct
17:48income. I cannot think why.
17:51He is the cousin.
17:53The one from the entail.
17:55It's Mr. Collins who stands to inherit Longbourn.
17:57The house, the estate, the income, all 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.
18:13Well, Mary, you must.
18:17I had prepared...
18:18a little something.
18:21But...
18:22Now 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.
19:06Be gone, don't care.
19:13I pray thee be gone from me.
19:20Be gone, don't care.
19:26You and I shall never agree.
19:34Long time, don't care.
19:38You and I shall never agree.
19:45Lung time, don't care.
19:53You and I shall never agree.
19:59Long time, don't care.
20:01Hast thou been tarrying here, and faith thou wouldst me kill, my faith don't care, thou never shalt have thy
20:23will.
20:31I have another piece, Father, one that's more lively.
20:36Mary, you have delighted us on enough.
20:48Oh, Miss Bennet, that was truly unforgettable.
20:59It was a beautiful rendition of a difficult song.
21:04Everybody saw it.
21:07Things have got it solved.
21:09Take a breath, take a breath.
21:10Nobody noticed but you.
21:27Mary.
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.
21:39We both know that isn't true.
21:46Mary, I 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.
22:07Don't say that.
22:08There is much you have achieved.
22:16I'm sorry.
22:20I'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 lead.
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.
23:51He says he's resigned and will not renew his pursuit.
23:56Oh!
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.
24:38I 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.
25:17I...
25:18Ah!
25:28Hey, yes.
25:29Plenty new, sir.
25:31Doric.
25:32One had obviously hoped for a slightly more capacious dining room, however...
25:37I think it's quite sweet we found each other.
25:39Mr. Benich?
25:41Mr. Collins has made Miss Charlotte Lucas an offer of marriage.
25:47And she has accepted.
25:49We wish you joy.
25:52Yes, so much joy.
25:53I wish you joy.
25:54Thank you all.
25:56You do know he is a clergyman, sir?
25:58Yes, I am.
25:59You really get to be visited by a man.
26:01They took us hands.
26:03They are...
26:05Mr. Collins.
26:06They are...
26:07...and size.
26:08Jake's finished.
26:11I do think the price is my point.
26:13My point is...
26:15...my point is...
26:16...my point is...
26:19...my point is...
26:20Ha, ha, ha, ha!
26:21Yes.
26:22Please speak to me.
26:23Jake.
26:29If I had any doubts as to whether I'd done the right thing...
26:32...they 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.
26:51Good night, Lizzie.
26:52Good night, Lydia.
26:53Good 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...
27:19...wait...
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.
27:47Hmm.
27:50But I was trapped...
27:53...unable to escape the loveless world of my parents.
27:57Thank you!
27:59Thank you!
28:00I've not yet...
28:01...my plan!
28:02My options were...
28:08...limited.
28:11And 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.
28:34But in a moment...
28:36...my life...
28:37...was upturned.
28:40Mr Bennet?
28:41Fetch the doctor!
28:43Yes, ma'am.
28:45They're ringing the carriage round, go!
28:46Yes, ma'am.
28:47Right away!
28:54Father had found a way out...
28:56...leaving mother and I...
28:58...with nothing...
29:00...except each other.
29:02Get out of here!
29:07You hear you hear a good word.
29:08We're all going!
29:09We're all going!
29:26...I'm hungry!
29:27Woo-hoo!
29:31Let's wait!
