Did you ever meet such a proud disagreeable man! 191 00:16:18,055 --> 00:16:20,774 - Mamma, he will hear you. - I don't care if he does. 192 00:16:20,855 --> 00:16:25,849 And his friend disposed to be so agreeable and everything charming. 193 00:16:25,935 --> 00:16:29,405 Who is he to think himself so far above his company? 194 00:16:29,495 --> 00:16:32,407 Well, the very rich can afford to give offence wherever they go. 195 00:16:32,495 --> 00:16:35,965 - We need not care for his good opinion. - No, indeed! 196 00:16:37,295 --> 00:16:40,253 Perhaps he's not so very handsome after all? 197 00:16:40,335 --> 00:16:44,408 No, indeed! Quite ill-favoured. 198 00:16:44,495 --> 00:16:48,010 Certainly nothing at all to Mr Bingley! 199 00:17:26,575 --> 00:17:28,486 I'll show them! 200 00:18:23,735 --> 00:18:28,172 I wonder at Kitty and Lydia. They are so fond of dancing. 201 00:18:28,255 --> 00:18:30,564 I take little pleasure in a ball. 202 00:18:30,655 --> 00:18:31,929 I would take more pleasure in this one, 203 00:18:32,015 --> 00:18:35,212 if there were enough partners as agreeable as Jane's. 204 00:18:35,775 --> 00:18:40,644 I believe the rewards of observation and reflection are much greater. 205 00:18:40,735 --> 00:18:43,533 And so they are, when there are none others to be had. 206 00:18:43,615 --> 00:18:46,448 We shall have to be philosophers, Mary. 207 00:19:02,895 --> 00:19:05,614 Come, Darcy, I must have you dance! 208 00:19:05,695 --> 00:19:08,971 I must. I hate to see you standing about in this stupid manner! 209 00:19:09,055 --> 00:19:11,125 Come, you had much better dance! 210 00:19:11,495 --> 00:19:14,001 I certainly shall not. At an assembly such as this? 211 00:19:14,195 --> 00:19:17,331 It would be insupportable. 212 00:19:21,655 --> 00:19:23,655 Your sisters are engaged at present. 213 00:19:23,777 --> 00:19:26,387 And you know perfectly well it would be a punishment for me 214 00:19:26,500 --> 00:19:28,563 to stand up with any other woman in the room. 215 00:19:28,655 --> 00:19:32,887 Good God, Darcy! I wouldn't be as fastidious as you are for a kingdom! 216 00:19:32,975 --> 00:19:36,854 Upon my honour, I never met so many pleasant girls in my life! 217 00:19:36,935 --> 00:19:39,813 Several of them are uncommonly pretty. 218 00:19:41,135 --> 00:19:44,172 You have been dancing with the only handsome girl in the room. 219 00:19:45,135 --> 00:19:49,526 Darcy, she is the most beautiful creature I ever beheld. 220 00:19:51,055 --> 00:19:52,773 Look, look! 221 00:19:53,295 --> 00:19:56,731 There's one of her sisters. She's very pretty too. 222 00:19:57,335 --> 00:19:59,291 I daresay very agreeable. 223 00:19:59,375 --> 00:20:04,529 She is tolerable, I suppose, but not handsome enough to tempt me. 224 00:20:05,335 --> 00:20:07,845 Bingley, I'm in no humour to give consequence to young ladies 225 00:20:08,035 --> 00:20:10,045 who are slighted by other men. 226 00:20:10,135 --> 00:20:11,853 Go back to your partner and enjoy her smiles, 227 00:20:11,935 --> 00:20:14,051 for you're wasting your time with me. 228 00:21:26,255 --> 00:21:29,406 Jane was so admired! 229 00:21:29,495 --> 00:21:32,009 There was nothing like it! 230 00:21:32,095 --> 00:21:36,293 - Oh, Lord! I'm so fagged! - Lydia and I danced every dance. 231 00:21:36,415 --> 00:21:38,167 And Mary none! 232 00:21:38,895 --> 00:21:42,968 And Mr Bingley favoured Jane above every other girl. 233 00:21:43,055 --> 00:21:45,125 For he danced the first two with her, 234 00:21:45,215 --> 00:21:48,571 and then the next with Charlotte Lucas, which vexed me greatly, 235 00:21:48,655 --> 00:21:51,965 but lo, there in the very next nothing would please him 236 00:21:52,055 --> 00:21:53,807 but to stand up with Jane again. 237 00:21:53,895 --> 00:21:57,683 And then you know he danced with Lizzy, and then, what do you think he did next? 238 00:21:57,775 --> 00:22:02,166 Enough, enough madam! For God's sake! Let's hear no more of his partners! 239 00:22:02,255 --> 00:22:04,450 Would he had sprained his ankle in the first dance! 240 00:22:04,535 --> 00:22:09,086 And his sisters! Oh, such charming women! 241 00:22:09,175 --> 00:22:12,372 So elegant and obliging! I wish you had seen them. 242 00:22:12,454 --> 00:22:14,740 I dare say the lace on Mrs Hurst's gown... 243 00:22:14,940 --> 00:22:18,325 No lace, no lace, Mrs Bennet, I beg you. 244 00:22:18,415 --> 00:22:22,727 But the man he brought with him! 'Mr Darcy', as he calls himself, 245 00:22:22,815 --> 00:22:27,889 is not worth our concern, though he may be the richest man in Derbyshire. 246 00:22:27,975 --> 00:22:31,888 The proudest, the most horrid, disobliging... 247 00:22:31,975 --> 00:22:36,366 He slighted poor Lizzy, you know, and flatly refused to stand up with her. 248 00:22:36,455 --> 00:22:38,685 Slighted my Lizzy, did he? 249 00:22:38,775 --> 00:22:41,448 I didn't care for him either, so it's of little matter. 250 00:22:41,535 --> 00:22:45,813 Another time, Lizzy, I would not dance with him if he should ask you. 251 00:22:45,894 --> 00:22:47,003 I believe, ma'am, 252 00:22:47,203 --> 00:22:50,685 I may safely promise you never to dance with Mr Darcy. 253 00:22:54,495 --> 00:22:58,647 And so none of the Hertfordshire ladies could please you, Mr Darcy? 254 00:22:58,735 --> 00:23:02,045 Not even the famous Miss Bennets? 255 00:23:02,135 --> 00:23:05,844 Well, I never met with pleasanter people or prettier girls in my life! 256 00:23:05,934 --> 00:23:07,134 Bingley, you astonish me. 257 00:23:07,335 --> 00:23:09,974 I saw little beauty, and no breeding at all. 258 00:23:10,055 --> 00:23:13,331 The eldest Miss Bennet is, I grant you, very pretty. 259 00:23:13,415 --> 00:23:17,613 A fine concession! Come, man! Admit it, she's an angel! 260 00:23:17,695 --> 00:23:21,085 - She smiles too much. - Oh, Jane Bennet is a sweet girl. 261 00:23:21,175 --> 00:23:23,814 But the mother! 262 00:23:24,655 --> 00:23:28,284 I heard Eliza Bennet described as a famous local beauty. 263 00:23:28,375 --> 00:23:29,967 What do you say to that, Mr Darcy? 264 00:23:30,055 --> 00:23:32,125 I should as soon call her mother a wit. 265 00:23:32,615 --> 00:23:34,651 Ha, Mr Darcy! That's too cruel! 266 00:23:36,535 --> 00:23:39,686 Darcy, I shall never understand why you go through the world 267 00:23:39,775 --> 00:23:44,007 determined to be displeased with everything and everyone in it. 268 00:23:44,095 --> 00:23:45,093 And I will never understand 269 00:23:45,293 --> 00:23:49,169 why you are in such a rage to approve of everything and everyone you meet. 270 00:23:49,255 --> 00:23:52,053 Well, you shall not make me think ill of Miss Bennet, Darcy. 271 00:23:52,135 --> 00:23:55,366 Indeed he shall not! I shall dare his disapproval 272 00:23:55,455 --> 00:23:57,571 and declare she is a dear sweet girl, 273 00:23:57,655 --> 00:23:59,691 despite her unfortunate relations, 274 00:23:59,775 --> 00:24:01,527 and I should not be sorry to know her better! 275 00:24:01,615 --> 00:24:06,530 No, nor I! You see, Mr Darcy, we are not afraid of you. 276 00:24:06,615 --> 00:24:08,606 I would not have you so. 277 00:24:10,615 --> 00:24:15,325 What? Aye, very true. Damned tedious waste of an evening. Huh? 278 00:24:17,095 --> 00:24:19,245 He's just what a young man ought to be, Lizzy. 279 00:24:19,895 --> 00:24:25,049 Sensible, lively, and I never saw such happy manners! 280 00:24:25,135 --> 00:24:28,445 Handsome too, which a young man ought to be if he possibly can. 281 00:24:28,535 --> 00:24:31,732 And he seems to like you very much, which shows good judgement. 282 00:24:31,815 --> 00:24:34,887 Now, I give you leave to like him. You've liked many a stupider person. 283 00:24:34,975 --> 00:24:36,567 Dear Lizzy! 284 00:24:36,655 --> 00:24:39,567 He could be happier in his choice of sisters and friends. 285 00:24:39,654 --> 00:24:41,154 But the sisters I suppose he cannot help. 286 00:24:41,255 --> 00:24:42,169 Did you not like them? 287 00:24:42,295 --> 00:24:45,571 Not at all. Their manners are quite different from his. 288 00:24:45,655 --> 00:24:49,091 At first, perhaps, but after a while I found them very pleasing. 289 00:24:49,175 --> 00:24:51,014 Miss Bingley is to keep house for her brother. 290 00:24:51,175 --> 00:24:53,214 And I'm sure they will be very charming neighbours. 291 00:24:53,295 --> 00:24:57,766 - One of them maybe. - No, Lizzy, I'm sure you're wrong. 292 00:24:57,855 --> 00:25:01,530 And even Mr Darcy you know may improve on closer acquaintance. 293 00:25:01,615 --> 00:25:03,925 Do you mean will he be in humour to give a consequence to young ladies 294 00:25:04,125 --> 00:25:07,346 who are slighted by other men? Never! 295 00:25:08,095 --> 00:25:11,132 "She is tolerable, I suppose", 296 00:25:11,695 --> 00:25:14,448 "but not handsome enough to tempt me." 297 00:25:14,535 --> 00:25:19,006 - It was very wrong of him to speak so. - Indeed it was! 298 00:25:19,095 --> 00:25:20,892 Capital offence! 299 00:25:21,695 --> 00:25:24,004 Oh, look! Charlotte is come. 300 00:25:25,455 --> 00:25:27,252 Charlotte! 301 00:25:27,335 --> 00:25:31,726 Lizzy! My father is to give a party at Lucas Lodge and you are all invited! 302 00:25:36,535 --> 00:25:38,529 I hope it would be the first of many occasions 303 00:25:38,735 --> 00:25:41,529 when Lucas Lodge will be graced with your presence. 304 00:25:41,615 --> 00:25:45,688 Here, you see, we are all easy with no awkwardness or ceremony. 305 00:25:45,775 --> 00:25:47,003 Quite. 306 00:25:47,095 --> 00:25:51,168 Oh, yes, my dear. 5,000 a year! 307 00:25:51,255 --> 00:25:56,283 Don't they look well together? A most agreeable young man! 308 00:26:07,335 --> 00:26:11,647 And he would dance every dance with Jane. Nothing else would do! 309 00:26:11,735 --> 00:26:14,693 Are you pleased with Hertfordshire, Colonel Forster? 310 00:26:14,775 --> 00:26:17,687 Very much so, Lady Lucas. Never more so than this evening. 311 00:26:17,775 --> 00:26:20,892 A regiment of infantry doesn't find a ready welcome everywhere, I fear. 312 00:26:20,975 --> 00:26:24,524 I think your officers will be very well pleased with Meryton. 313 00:26:27,455 --> 00:26:30,049 Denny and Sanderson seem well pleased already! 314 00:26:31,095 --> 00:26:34,531 No doubt you attend assemblies at St. James's Court? 315 00:26:34,615 --> 00:26:38,847 - We go but rarely, sir. - Indeed? I am surprised. 316 00:26:38,935 --> 00:26:41,455 I should be happy to introduce you there, 317 00:26:41,635 --> 00:26:44,055 you know, at any time when I'm in town. 318 00:26:44,135 --> 00:26:46,569 You're too kind, sir. 319 00:26:48,215 --> 00:26:50,206 Well!

To imagine that we would need his assistance in society. 323 00:27:00,655 --> 00:27:03,453 I am sure he is a very good sort of man, Caroline. 324 00:27:03,535 --> 00:27:06,003 And I am sure he kept a very good sort of shop 325 00:27:06,095 --> 00:27:08,290 before his elevation to the Knighthood. 326 00:27:11,015 --> 00:27:14,769 Poor Darcy. What agonies he must be suffering. 327 00:27:33,095 --> 00:27:36,644 Are you in Meryton to subdue the discontented populace, sir, 328 00:27:36,735 --> 00:27:39,044 or to defend Hertfordshire against the French? 329 00:27:39,135 --> 00:27:42,684 Neither, ma'am. I trust we hope to winter peacefully at Meryton. 330 00:27:42,775 --> 00:27:44,731 My soldiers are in great need of training 331 00:27:44,815 --> 00:27:47,648 and my officers in ever great need of society. 332 00:27:48,935 --> 00:27:51,495 Then as soon as you are settled, I hope you'll give a ball. 333 00:27:51,574 --> 00:27:52,774 Oh, yes, my dear, do! 334 00:27:52,975 --> 00:27:54,965 You think, a ball would be well received? 335 00:27:55,055 --> 00:27:58,889 A ball? Who's giving a ball? I long for a ball, and so does Denny! 336 00:27:58,975 --> 00:28:03,854 - And Sanderson. Don't you, Sanderson? - I d-do indeed. Most passionately. 337 00:28:03,935 --> 00:28:06,132 Ah, little Sanderson, I knew you would! 338 00:28:06,215 --> 00:28:09,525 Make him give a ball, Mr Forster! We'll dance with all the officers. 339 00:28:09,615 --> 00:28:12,891 If Mary would only play something, we could dance now! 340 00:28:12,974 --> 00:28:15,474 Mary, let's have no more of that dull stuff, play something jolly. 341 00:28:15,655 --> 00:28:17,207 We want to dance! 342 00:28:17,295 --> 00:28:21,971 But there are still two movements. Mamma! Tell them it isn't fair! 343 00:28:22,055 --> 00:28:26,571 Oh, play a jig, Mary. No one wants your concertos here. 344 00:28:28,415 --> 00:28:31,964 I fear their taste is not as fine as yours and mine, Mary, 345 00:28:32,055 --> 00:28:33,886 but let's oblige them this once, eh? 346 00:28:33,975 --> 00:28:37,570 For there is no one here who plays as well as you! 347 00:28:37,655 --> 00:28:41,648 Very well. Though you know it gives me little pleasure. 348 00:28:42,214 --> 00:28:43,958 Jane, Mr Bingley, come and dance with us! 349 00:28:44,158 --> 00:28:45,764 Not now, Lydia. 350 00:28:45,855 --> 00:28:47,891 Capital!
