that I like it prodigiously!

I hope you'll ask me

when I began to like it

so prodigiously, Miss Elizabeth.

I will.

When did you?

Ahh...

The moment I saw you.

Very pretty, sir.

Shall I tell you what I thought

the moment I saw you?

Only if it's pleasant!

Oh, it is! I thought...

You were

going to say, Miss Elizabeth?

Oh, yes! I'm sorry, I forget!

Ladies and gentlemen,

Miss Bingley, Mr. Bingley

and Mr. Darcy!

This is indeed an honor!

Very distinguished!

Ah, Kitty, Kitty!

Your dress is too de... (French).

Put it up a little.

Lydia! Lydia, there's

perspiration on your nose.

Don't look so hot.

It's very unladylike.

Oh, Jane. Jane, dear.

Yes, Mama?

Of course, you are

quite perfect, my dear!

Lizzie, Lizzie! Do try

to make a good impression.

You can be so appealing

when you want to be!

Oh, ah, Mary.

Try to sparkle a little.

Just a little!

A waltz, Mr. Darcy.

Yes.

How modern.

Yes indeed.

Shall we have our dance now?

It's a pleasure.

Oh! What a handsome young man

Mr. Darcy is!

And so rich, too!

His mother was a daughter of the

Marquis of Scarlingford.

Did you hear that, Jane?

The Marquis of Scarlingford?

And doesn't he know it!

I like Mr. Bingley better.

Mr. Darcy is so so supercilious.

My goodness!

He does have an air about him.

Pray, Sir William! Who is that

uncommonly handsome girl?

Who?

Over there, next to the pillar.

Oh, ah, that's Miss Bennet.

This is our dance,

Miss Elizabeth.

Mrs. Bennet,

may I present Mr. Bingley?

Mrs. Bennet. Mrs. Philips.

Miss Jane Bennet.

Miss Mary Bennet.

Mr. Bingley,

we're all so delighted

that you've taken Netherfield.

Having it standing empty was

a lost to the whole neighborhood.

Like an oyster shell

without an oyster in it.

Well, here is the oyster, Madame.

But, if I may be permitted

to say so,

it is you who have the pearl!

Charming! Charming!

Oh, ah, Jane dear, why don't you

say something to Mr. Bingley?

Good evening, sir.

May I have the honor

of this dance, Miss Bennet?

A pleasure.

Think of having a daughter

happily settled at Netherfield.

She'll be pricing

wedding garments tomorrow.

Mind your manners!

Stop scratching yourself!

Yes, Mama.

Well! Is Miss Bingley

engaged to Mr. Darcy?

If she is,

she ought to break it.

Why?

No man can be in love

and look so bored!

Did you ever see such people,

Mr. Darcy?

Really! I think my brother

ought to apologize

for bringing us

to a place like this!

He is so dreadful

and undiscriminating.

He seems to be able

to enjoy himself in any society.

I'm not surprised that he is

able to enjoy himself

in that society.

You know, Miss Bennet, you've

done a very extraordinary thing.
