WOMAN:
As Victor Hugo wrote,"To love or have loved,
that is enough.
Ask nothing further."
In sum, ladies and gentlemen,
the customs and manners
of the Regency period
were exemplified
and celebrated
in Austen's
Pride and Prejudice.
Now it might seem quaint
and old-fashioned,
but Jane Austen's world
was defined by civility.
think it's relevant,
the lessons of gentility
and respect still have a place
- [bell rings]
- in the world today.
Okay, well, that wraps it up
for this quarter.
I expect to have
at midnight tonight.
[phone buzzing]
Hey, Jazz, what's up?
[chuckles]
I'd love to,
but I have plans.
Yes, it's a date,
a lunch date.
Uh, well, I gotta go.
Okay, take care.
KELLY:
I was bornand raised here.
Just been me and my dad.
You know, it's funny.
When I was a kid,
I always wanted to be like him:
a roper, a rider.
But then I grew up,
and I went away to college.
Ta-da!
Here I am, Assistant Professor
Kelly Pavlik,
Montana State University,
with an invitation
to lecture at Oxford next year,
once I'm...
done my doctorate.
So, uh, you're a...
You study a lot, right?
Uh, that's one way
of putting it.
Very cool. I read stuff.
You do?
Oh, yeah, big reader.
Captain Fantastic.
Totally awesome.
But not as much as
Lizard Man.
Lizard Man rocks.
So you read comic books.
Graphic novels.
Yeah, but that's not--
Touchdown! Yes!
Come on!
ANNOUNCER:
The ball was thrown behind him.
Wow.
That was really rude of me,
and I'm sorry
about that, Judy.
I mean, I mean Kelly.
Oh, sorry,
ANNOUNCER:
Off the left sidefor three yards.
So there I was,
telling him my life story,
and he didn't hear
a word of it.
Jerk.
His loss.
I thought so.
Jasmine,
you're my best friend.
Tell me what it is
I'm doing wrong.
Well, they can't all be losers.
Maybe I should
just stop dating.
Oh, come on.
The way I see it
is you spend your time
living in books,
books that were written
when chivalry was still a thing.
So? I miss chivalry.
Kelly, the kind of guy
you're looking for
doesn't exist anymore.
There's gotta be
some guy out there
that's a lot less Lizard Boy
and a little bit more
Fitzwilliam Darcy.
If you don't want
to spend your life
being constantly
disappointed,
you're gonna have
to accept the fact
that times have changed,
and men have really changed.
Never!
Thanks for lunch.
Ms. Kelly Pavlik,
daughter of Henry Pavlik?
- Yes.
- Ah! Um...
Grimsby's the name.
I've been retained
to locate your father,
regarding a matter
of great concern.
You're looking for my dad,
Hank Pavlik?
Indeed, I am.
Are you sure
you have the right man?
Oh, quite sure.
It's vital
that I speak with him
in person, preferably,
as soon as possible.
Is he in trouble?
No, madam.
But it's vital.
Positively vital.
All right, come on in.
- [cow moos]
- [country]
ZEKE:
It ain't there, neither.Well, now I'm beginning to think
maybe it was actually
the filling station.
You know the Big A,
where I parked my car at.
So I hike on down there
and take a look-see,
and what do you suppose
I found?
Nothing. It ain't there.
I was going nuts, and I--
Looks like we got ourselves
company there, Zeke.
I think I'll head on down there
and see who it is.
Right in the middle of my story?
It ain't finished.
Well, I reckon you can finish
your story by yourself.
- Oh, and, Zeke.
- Yeah?
You took the pickup to town.
That's why you couldn't
find your car.
Yeah, end of story.
Believe me,
I've been there, son.
Done that.
Man!
Come on, Bear.
Whoever said,
"Money can't buy happiness,"
forgot about puppies, Bear.
[engine starts]
Word to the wise.
This is a cattle ranch.
You might wanna
watch your step.
A veritable minefield.
How delightful.
Hello, princess.
Dad.
Been a while.
Not that long.
Well, long enough.
So what brings you out here?
Dad, this is Mr. Grimsby.
He's a solicitor.
Solicitor, huh?
What are you selling?
I'm not selling anything.
I trust you know
what a solicitor is.
Yeah, I do.
Person who solicits.
Dad, Mr. Grimsby
is an attorney.
Oh.
Well, like I said,
what can I do for you, Grimsby?
I've been retained
to bring you
Due to the passing
of a distant relative,
you've inherited
a substantial estate...
in Merania.
Never heard of it.
Central Europe, a principality
right next to Angosia.
Merania, huh?
What kind of a scam you running?
I assure you, sir,
it is not a scam.
Okay, well,
how much could I get
for this sizeable estate,
if I sold it?
Why would you want to sell it?
Well, I could use
a new pair of boots,
and the good ones,
they don't come cheap.
I'm afraid it's more complicated
than that, Mr. Pavlik.
You see, there's a title
that comes with the property.
And I'm supposed to be
impressed with a title?
You just need to go
and sign some documents.
In the presence of a judge.
A judge in Merania,
I presume.
Yes, sir.
I'll tell you what.
I'll get back to you
on that, huh?
[laughs]
Sir, I really must insist that--
- [laughing]
- This is what he does.
I'll take care of it.
Some people.
KELLY:
You're stubborn, Dad,you know that?
Since Mom died,
this place is your only life.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Do you really think
this Grimsby guy's on the level?
Oh, he showed me
six different databases
that document genealogy.
Your great-great-great
grandfather
emigrated from Merania
in 1793.
He gave up everything
to marry someone
Hmm.
Oh, come on, Dad.
It wouldn't hurt to go
for a little bit.
Everything I want is here.
I got my dog, I got you.
I don't want nothing.
I'm happy.
Dad, I was offered a teaching
position at Oxford next year.
What are you telling me?
It's not permanent.
At first, anyway.
I'd be a visiting lecturer.
But I could be moving to England
for a while.
You can't turn your back
on family like that.
I mean, Boston was bad enough,
but England?
I'm not turning my back
on anyone, Dad.
Okay? I'm just
following my dreams.
Things are different now.
I never see you anymore,
unless I come to the ranch,
and then when I do come,
you don't even act
like you're interested
- in anything I'm doing.
- That's not true.
What else would you
want to talk about?
There's so much
we could talk about.
Yeah, well,
whatever happened to that girl
and roping cattle?
Yeah, maybe she grew up.
Maybe she wanted to get out and
see new things and new places.
See the world.
So this place isn't
good enough for you, huh?
Why? Because I don't read
fancy books
or make the big money?
I never said that.
Well, that's what you meant.
I guess I shouldn't
even be surprised.
Okay.
Okay, I'll go!
Huh.
But I'm gonna miss my dog.
