Austenland Page #2

Synopsis: Austenland is a romantic comedy about 30-something, single Jane Hayes, a seemingly normal young woman with a secret: her obsession with Mr. Darcy-as played by Colin Firth in the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice-is ruining her love life; no real man can compare.

Wouldn't you say so,

Miss Charming?

Righto!

Just to avoid any confusion,

I'd like you to know that we do

offer several distinct experiences.

You have paid for

the Basic Copper package,

while the other

ladies in the party

are part of

the Platinum Elite package.

Oh. Okay.

I'm sure you'll understand there will

be some exclusions to your trip.

I mean, I'm just so

excited to be here,

and I've dreamed

about this for so long.

All of my guests

will experience

romance with one of our actors.

But I must emphasize

there is to be no touching

other than the necessary social graces.

Not a chance.

I also expect

all my guests to maintain

appropriate manners

and conversation

and to eschew

all things modern.

Any flagrant

disobedience will result

in the early

termination of your stay.

You don't have

to worry about me.

I know Austen's

books intimately.

A big fire for

a hot summer's day.

We need to push up

the sisters. There we go.

That's as far as I can go.

It's looking good.

Has it been a day or a week

As my eyes begin to close

So we have this absolutely

delightful chiffon piece.

And I don't know

how you feel about lavender.

I call it lilac.

"Lilac. "

This I do think is very

magnificent and elegant.

Salmon!

Salmon. Absolutely.

These dreams under my pillow

Kinda washes you out.

Of these white nights

Look how skinny I look

with my hand behind my back.

Let's go meet the men.

Okay.

I'm so sorry,

my dear, but I'm afraid

this carriage only

takes two passengers.

Okay.

Sorry.

Hey, do you think we'll be

robbed by some highwaymen?

Martin,

hurry up with those bags.

My God, look at those.

Hallelujah. Oh!

Do you think those

are their real faces?

And for you, Miss Charming, we have

our finest Platinum level room.

Oh!

How old-fashioned.

Miss Erstwhile.

If you follow me.

Hey! It's bloody brilliant!

Where are you? We can't dilly-dally.

And you, of course, have one of

our loveliest Copper level rooms.

We meet for dinner at 8:00.

I expect you can find your

own way to the drawing room.

I wouldn't miss

it for the world.

With me? Yes.

Jane!

Jane? Come here.

All the statues look at you!

Look. It's one of

those Mr. Darcy guys.

May I present Miss

Elizabeth Charming.

Heiress to the vast

Charming fortune.

Top of the evening to you.

And Miss Jane Erstwhile.

An orphan of no fortune,

who we've taken in

out of the goodness

of our hearts.

Colonel Andrews, the second

son of the Earl of Denton.

I have never before

beheld such beauty...

And class.

What a very pleasant

pleasure it is indeed.

And my dear nephew,

Henry Nobley.

Goody.

There's one for each of us.

And, of course, our honored
