All language subtitles for Pride & Prejudice (1995)_Ep.6

I knew it would come
out right in the end!

My dear, dear Lydia!
She will be married.

My good, kind brother!

I knew how it would be.

I knew he would manage everything!

Oh, but the clothes!

And of course she must
be married from Longbourn.

This is all nonsense about her
being married from Cheapside!

She must be married in Longbourn church,

where her friends can see her.

That is not possible. You must see that.

I do not see that!

Why should I see that?

Why should that be?

She's been living with
Mr. Wickham in London.

If she were to arrive
home unmarried still...

I suppose it must be,
if you put it like that!

But it is all very vexing.

Your uncle has been most highhanded!

Why should he take so much upon him?

Mamma, we're greatly
indebted to Mr. Gardiner.

He must have laid out
a great deal of money

to pay off Mr. Wickham's debts.

- More than we can ever repay.
- Why should he not?

Who else should lay out
money, but her uncle?

Mother!

Oh, well!

I am so happy! A daughter
married. And only just sixteen.

''Mrs. Wickham''. Oh,
how well that sounds!

Oh, but the wedding clothes!

Lizzy, my dear,

go down to your father and
ask how much he will give her.

Oh, Jane,

as soon as I am dressed

I shall go to Meryton and
tell my sister Philips!

Ring the bell for Hill!

An airing will do me a
great deal of good, /'m sure.

And I shall call on
Lady Lucas and Mrs. Long.

Oh, Jane!

Papa.

Jane, it's such wonderful news!

Oh, where is Hill?

Oh, Hill, have you heard the good news?

Shut the door, Lizzy.

And you shall have a bowl
of punch to make merry at...

Someone, at least, finds
pleasure in these events.

But considering what we thought

only a few hours ago,
it's not so bad, is it?

Do you think my uncle
paid out much money?

I do.

Wickham's a fool if he takes her with
a farthing less than 10,000 pounds.

10,000 pounds!

Heaven forbid!

How is half such a sum to be repaid?

I wish I had laid by
an annual sum to bribe

worthless young men
to marry my daughters,

but I have not, I confess.

The reason was, of course,
that I intended to father a son.

The son would inherit the estate,

no part of which would be entailed away,

so providing for my widow

and any other children.

By the time we had abandoned
hope of producing an heir,

it seemed a little late to begin saving.

You could not have
foreseen this, father.

I should have taken
better care of you all.

The satisfaction of prevailing upon one
of the most worthless young men in Britain,

might then have rested
in its proper place.

As it is, the thing is done

with extraordinary little
inconvenience to myself.

When you take into account what I shall
save on Lydia's board and pocket allowance,

I am scarcely ten
pounds a year worse off.

I am heartily ashamed of myself, Lizzy.

But don't despair, it will pass...

..and no doubt more
quickly than it should.

Where is everyone?

Dearly beloved. We are gathered
here in the sight of God.

Mr. Wickham is to
resign from the Militia

and go into a northern regiment.

Happily some of his
former friends are willing

to assist him in
purchasing a commission.

I have written to Colonel
Forster to request that

he will satisfy Wickham's
creditors in Brighton,

for which I've pledged myself.

"Perhaps you will be so good as to do

"the same for his creditors in Meryton,

''of whom I enclose

"a list according to his information.

"I hope, at least, he
has not deceived us".

Let us all hope so.

"As soon as they are married,

"they will journey directly to
join his regiment in Newcastle,

"unless they are first
invited to Longbourn."

Oh, yes, my dear Mr. Bennet,

of course they must come here!

I long to see my dear Lydia!

And dear Wickham, too, of course.

But it is shocking that

poor Lydia should have been
sent away from Brighton.

Such a favourite among all the officers!

There were several young men
there that she liked very much.

They will miss her as
much as she will miss them.

These northern officers
may not be so pleasant.

Dear Mrs. Bennet,

I'm sure our youngest
daughter have no difficulty

will find friends as
silly as she in Newcastle.

She has a talent for making
a spectacle of herself

wherever she goes.

If they are to leave Brighton,

they should come to Hertfordshire
and reside in the neighbourhood.

Haye Park might do, if the
Gouldings would quit it.

Or the great house at Stoke, if
the drawing-rooms were larger.

- Or Purvis Lodge.
- Oh, no dear, not Purvis Lodge!

The attics are dreadful!

Mrs. Bennet,

before you take any,
or all of these houses,

let us come to a right understanding.

Into one house in the neighbourhood
they shall never have admittance.

Mr. and Mrs. Wickham will
never be welcome to Longbourn.

Lord!

It seems an age since we were at
Longbourn.

Here you all are, just the same!

My dear, dear Lydia, at last!

Oh, I do believe you've grown!
Oh, how we have missed you.

We've been far too
merry to miss any of you!

Here we are! Haven't I caught
myself a handsome husband?

Indeed you have, my love!
You are very welcome, sir.

You are all goodness and
kindness, ma'am, as always.

Oh, let me give you a kiss, then!

Well, shall we go in?

No, Jane. I take your place now.

You must go lower, because
I am a married woman!

''Mrs. Wickham''!

Lord, how droll that sounds!

How do you like my husband, Lizzy?

I believe you envy me. Was he
not a favourite of yours once?

Not at all, Isure you.

A pity we didn't all go to Brighton.

I could have got husbands
for all my sisters!

Thank you, but I don't particularly like

your way of getting husbands.

Isn't my husband a fine horseman?

Colonel Forster said
he has as good a seat

as any officer in the regiment.

I wished he could wear his
red coat at the wedding,

and have a guard of honour,

but the officers could
not be spared from duty.

There was no one there but my
aunt and uncle and Mr. Darcy.

Mr. Darcy?

Mr. Darcy was at your wedding?

Oh, yes. Someone had to be groomsman.

I had much rather it had been
Denny or one of our friends...

Oh, Lord!

Oh, Lord, I forgot.

I wasn't to say a word!

And I promised them so faithfully.

What'll Wickham say now?

It was supposed to be a secret!

My dear Aunt, pray write

and let me understand how
he should have been there.

Unless you, too, are
bound in the secrecy

which Lydia seems to think necessary.

My dear niece,

I must confess myself
surprised by your letter.

If you are in ignorance of the part

that Mr Darcy played in
bringing about the marriage,

let me enlighten you at once.

Mr. Darcy paid us an unexpected visit...

...and so, my dear Lizzy,

Mr. Darcy would brook no opposition.

He insisted on doing everything himself
and bearing the entirety of the expense.

Nothing was to be done
that he did not do himself.

Your uncle,

instead of being allowed
to be of use to his niece,

had to accept having the credit of it.

I must be allowed to insist on this.

The fault is mine, and
so must the remedy be.

It was through my
mistaken pride, my reserve

that Mr Wickham's character
has not been made known.

Had I not thought it beneath me

to lay my private actions open,

his character would have been exposed
and this can't never taken place

Mr. Darcy, I really believe you
take too much upon yourself.

I must insist on this, sir.

I assure you that in this
matter, argument is fruitless.

The responsibility is mine.

I must
have it, sir. I shall not give way.

My dear sister!

I'm afraid I'm interrupting
your solitary reverie.

You are, indeed.

But it doesn't follow that the
interruption must be unwelcome.

I should be sorry if it were.

You and I were always good friends.

True.

Then shall we take a
turn together, sister?

I was surprised to see
Darcy in town last month.

We passed each other several times.

I wonder what he could be doing there.

Perhaps preparing for the wedding...

with Miss de Bourgh.

Yes. Yes, perhaps.

Must have been something particular,
to take him there this time of year.

Undoubtedly.

Did you see him while
you were at Lambton?

I understood from the
Gardiners that you had.

Yes. He introduced us to his sister.

- Did you like her?
- Yes, very much indeed.

Well, I have heard that she is uncommonly
improved within this last year or two.

When I last saw her, she
was not very promising.

I'm glad you liked her.

I hope she'll turn out well.

I dare say she will. She has
got over the most trying age.

- Did you go by Kympton?
- I don't recollect...

I mention it because it was
the living I should have had.

How should you have
liked making sermons?

Exceedingly well.

I did hear that there was a time

when sermon making was not so
palatable to you as at present.

That you actually declared
your resolution of never

taking orders and were
compensated accordingly.

Well.

Oh come, Mr. Wickham, we are
brother and sister, you know.

Let us not quarrel about the past.

Oh, Lydia,

when shall we meet again?

Not these two or three years, perhaps.

Not these two or three years.

Oh, what shall I do?

And Mr. Bennet is so cruel as to refuse
to take us into the North Country!

- I should refuse to go in any case.
- Hold your tongue, girl!

Oh, Lydia!

You will write to me often, won't you?

I don't know.

We married women don't
have much time for writing.

My sisters may write to me.

They will have nothing better to do.

- Oh, Lydia!

Mr. Wickham, take care of my girl!

I shall, ma'am, to the
very best of my ability.

And thank you, ma'am,
and to you, sir, for

your continued kindness and hospitality.

And to you, my
dear sisters-in-law.

And now as dear to me
as sisters ever could be.

But, the carriage awaits.

Duty and honour call me to the North.

So, come, my dear!

Let us say not farewell, but as
the French have it: Au revoir!

He's as fine a fellow as ever I saw!

He simpers and smirks,
and makes love to us all.

I am prodigiously proud of him.

I defy even Sir William Lucas
to produce such a son-in-law.

Sister! Sister! Have you heard the news?

Mr. Bingley is coming
back to Netherfield,

and the whole town is talking about it!

I do assure you, this news does
not affect me, truly, Lizzy.

I am glad of one thing.

That he doesn't bring any ladies.

If it is merely a shooting
party, we shall not see him often.

Not that I am afraid of myself...

but I dread other
people's remarks, Lizzy.

Then I shall venture none...

however sorely I am tempted.

It is hard that the man
can't come to a house

he's legally rented, without
raising all this speculation.

That is just what I think.

- Then we shall leave him to himself.
- Yes.

Stop it, Lizzy.

Three days he has been in the
neighbourhood, and still he shuns us!

I say it's all your father's fault!

He would not do his duty and call,

so you shall die old maids,

and we shall be turned out by the
Collinses to starve in the Hedgerows!

You promised last year
that if I went to see him,

he'd marry one of my daughters,

but it all came to nothing.

I won't be sent on a
fool's errand again!

Mamma!

Mamma, look! I think he is coming!

Is it really him? I believe it must be!

He is come, Jane! He is come at last.

Put on your blue gown.
No, stay where you are!

Who's with him?

Oh Lord! I don't know, dear.
Some acquaintance, I suppose!

It looks like that man who
used to be with him before.

Mr... Oh what his name? You
know, that tall proud one.

Mr. Darcy!

I believe it is.

Well,

any friend of Mr. Bingley's will
always be welcome here, to be sure.

But I must say I hate the sight of him!

But I am determined to be civil.

If only because the man
is a friend of Bingley's,

but no more than civil.
Sit up straight, Jane!

Pull your shoulders back.

A man could go a long way without seeing a
figure like yours, if you'd make the most of it.

Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy, ma'am.

Mr. Bingley, you are very, very welcome.

How do you do, Mrs. Bennet. I...

It's far too long since you were
here, and very kind of you to call.

Mr. Bennet, of course, would have paid
his addresses before this, were it not...

Well, here you are! I am delighted!

And Mr. Darcy, you are welcome, too.

We began to be afraid
you would never come back.

People did say, you meant to
quit the place by Michaelmas,

but I hope that is not true.

Ring the bell for tea, Kitty.

A great many changes have
taken place since you went away.

Miss Lucas is married. And
one of my own daughters!

- You've heard of it or read it in the papers?
- Yes, indeed...

It was not put in properly.

It only said: ''Lately, George
Wickham, Esq. to Miss Lydia Bennet'',

without a syllable said about who
her father was, or where she lived!

Now they are gone to Newcastle,
and there they are to stay.

I don't know how long.

I expect you've heard he's
gone into the regulars.

Thank Heaven he has some friends,

though perhaps not as
many as he deserves!

Do you mean to stay long in
the neighbourhood on this visit?

Our plans are not yet firmly settled,

but I hope, I hope we
shall stay some weeks.

I hope very much we
shall stay a few weeks.

At the very least.

When you've killed your
own birds, Mr. Bingley

I beg you would come here and shoot as
many as you please on Mr. Bennet's manor.

I'm sure he'll be happy to oblige you!

I suppose you may bring
your friends, if you will.

Now that this first meeting is over,

I feel perfectly at ease.

Good!

Now I know my own strength,

and I shall never again be
embarrassed by his coming.

We shall be able to meet now as...

common and indifferent acquaintances.

Yes, very indifferent!

Jane, take care.

Don't think me to be in
any danger now, Lizzy.

I think you are in very great danger of
making him as much in love with you as ever.

You tell me now that she was in London

all those months?

And you concealed it from me?

Yes.

I can offer no justification.

It was an arrogant presumption,

based on a failure to recognise
your true feelings

and Miss Bennet's.

I should never have interfered.

It was wrong of me,
Bingley, and I apologise.

You admit that you were in the wrong?

Utterly and completely.

Then... I have you blessing?

Do you need my blessing?

No. But I should like to
know I have it all the same.

Then go to it.

Bring me my horse at once.

Quick, man!

Jane!

Jane! Oh, my dear Jane!

- Mamma, what's the matter?
- He is come!

- Who is come?
- Mr. Bingley, of course!

Make haste, make haste, hurry down!

Oh, gracious, you are not half dressed!

Hill! Hill!

Oh, where is Hill?

Never mind, Sarah.

You must come to Miss
Bennet this moment!

Come along and help
her on with her gown!

Never mind...

Mamma! Mamma!

Where is my new locket that
Lydia brought me from London?

Mary, have you seen it?

I shouldn't know it if I saw it.

I care nothing for such baubles.

Oh, never mind your locket, girl!

Jane, stir yourself.
He is here, he is here!

We will be down as soon as we can.

Let Kitty go down, she is forwarder.

Hang Kitty! What has she to
do with it? Jane, be quick!

Where is your muslin dress?

Hill! Hill! Where is Hill?

So Mr. Darcy is gone to town?

Yes, ma'am. He left
quite early this morning.

What's the matter, mamma?

Why do you keep winking at me?

What am I to do?

Wink at you?

Why should I wink at
you, child? What a notion!

Why should I be winking
at my own daughter, pray?

But now you ask, it puts me
in mind. I do have something.

I would speak to you about.

Come, come with me.

And you, Mary. Come!

Miss Elizabeth...

You're needed upstairs.

Please let me go to Jane.

I promised I would stay with her.

Stay where you are.

Five more minutes will do the trick.

- Oh, I am so sorry.
- No. No, don't go, Lizzy.

Well?

Oh, Lizzy!

I'm so happy! It is too much!

It is too much!

Why can't everyone be as happy as I am?

He loves me, Lizzy. He loves me!

Of course he does!

He told me he loved me all the time.

He didn't believe...

I must tell mamma. He
is gone to papa already!

Oh, Lizzy,

could you believe things
would end in this happy way?

- I could, and I do!
- I must go to my mother.

Oh, Lizzy!

To know I shall be giving such
pleasure to all my dear family!

How shall I bear so much happiness?

Come back tomorrow,
sir, if you can bear to.

Come and shoot with me, if you will.

There are few men whose society
I can tolerate with equanimity.

I believe you may be one of them.

Thank you, sir. I
shall be very happy to.

Very well, very well.
Get along with you.

Till tomorrow, then!

Jane, congratulations.

You will be a very happy woman.

Thank you, father.

- I believe I shall.
- Well, well, you're a good girl.

And I've no doubt you'll
do very well together.

You're each of you so complying that

nothing will ever be resolved on.

Papa!

So easy that every
servant will cheat you!

- No, indeed!
- So generous that you will exceed your income.

Exceed their income!

What are you talking about?

Don't you know that
he has 5,000 a year?!

Oh, my dear, dear Jane! I am so happy!

Oh, I knew how it would be!

I was sure you could not
be so beautiful for nothing.

He is the handsomest
man that was ever seen!

Oh, Lizzy. If only I
could see you as happy.

If there were only such
another man for you.

If you were to give me forty such men...

..I could never be as happy as you.

Till I have your goodness, I
can never have your happiness.

But... perhaps if I have very good luck,

I may in time meet
with another Mr. Collins!

Mamma, Lizzy, come and look!

The most enormous carriage has arrived.

What an extremely small hall!

If you'll wait here, your ladyship,

I'll tell my mistress you're here.

No, I will not wait!

Where is she?

Is this the drawing-room?

Lady Catherine de Bourgh.

That lady, I suppose, is your mother.

Yes, she is. Mamma, this
is Lady Catherine de Bourgh.

And that, I suppose,
is one of your sisters.

Yes, ma'am.

She is my youngest girl but one.

My youngest of all is lately married.

You have a very small park here.

And this must be a most inconvenient

sitting-room for the evening in summer.

Why, the windows are full west.

Indeed, they are, your ladyship,

but we never sit in here after dinner.

- We have...
- Miss Bennet.

There seemed to be a prettyish kind of
little wilderness on one side of your lawn.

I should be glad to take a turn in it...

if you would favour
me with your company.

You can be at no loss to understand
the reason for my journey, Miss Bennet.

You are mistaken, madam. I'm quite unable
to account for the honour of seeing you here.

Miss Bennet, you ought to know
I am not to be trifled with.

But however insincere you choose
to be, you shall not find me so.

A report of an alarming
nature reached me two days ago.

I was told, not only that your sister
was to be most advantageously married,

but that you,

Miss Elizabeth Bennet, would be soon
afterwards united to my nephew Mr. Darcy!

Though I know it must be
a scandalous falsehood,

I instantly resolved on
setting off for this place,

to make my sentiments known to you.

If you believed it to be impossible,

I wonder you to a
trouble at coming so far,

what your ladyship
would propose by this?

At once to insist upon having such
a report universally contradicted!

Your coming to Longbourn will
be taken as a confirmation of it,

if such a report exists.

This is not to be borne. Miss
Bennet, I insist on being satisfied!

Has my nephew made you
an offer of marriage?

Your ladyship declared
it to be impossible.

It ought to be so, but
your arts and allurements

may have made him forget what he
owes to himself and the family.

You may have drawn him in!

If I had, I should be
the last to confess it.

Miss Bennet, do you know who I am?

I have not been accustomed
to such language as this.

I am almost the nearest
relation he has, and

I am entitled to know
all his nearest concerns.

But not entitled to know mine,

nor will such behaviour as
this induce me to be explicit.

Let me be rightly understood.

This match, to which you have
the presumption to aspire,

can never take place.

Mr. Darcy is engaged
to my daughter. Now,

what have you to say?

Only this: that if he is so,

you can have no reason to
suppose he'll make an offer to me.

The engagement between
them is of a peculiar kind.

From their infancy they have
been intended for each other.

It was the favourite wish of
his mother as well as hers.

While she was in her
cradle, we planned the union.

And now to be prevented by the

upstart pretensions of a
young woman without family,

connections or fortune?

Is this to be endured? It shall not be!

Your alliance would be a disgrace!

Your name would never even
be mentioned by any of us.

These would be heavy
misfortunes, indeed.

Obstinate, headstrong
girl! I am ashamed of you.

I have not been in the habit
of brooking disappointment!

That will make your ladyship's situation

at present more pitiable, but
it will have no effect on me.

I will not be interrupted!

If you were sensible,

you would not wish to quit the sphere
in which you have been brought up!

Lady Catherine,

in marrying your nephew I
should not consider myself

as quitting that sphere.

He's a gentleman, I'm a gentleman's
daughter. So far we are equal.

But who are your mother?

Who are your uncles and aunts?

Do not imagine me ignorant
of their condition.

What ever my connections

maybe if your nephew
does not object of them,

they can be nothing to you.

Tell me once and for all,
are you engaged to him?

I am not.

And will you promise me never
to enter into such an engagement?

I will make no promise of the kind,

and I beg you not to importune
me any further on the subject.

Not so hasty, if you please!
I have another objection.

Your youngest sister's infamous
elopement. I know it all!

Is such a girl to be my
nephew's sister-in-law?

Are the shades of Pemberley
to be thus polluted?

You can have nothing further to say.

You have insulted me by
every possible method.

I must beg to return to the house.

You have no regard then,

for the honour and credit of my nephew?

Unfeeling, selfish girl!

You refuse to oblige me?

You refuse the claims of
duty, honour, gratitude?

You are determined to ruin him,

and make him the contempt of the world!

I am only resolved to act in a manner

which will constitute my own happiness,

without reference to you,

or to any person so
wholly unconnected with me.

And this is your final resolve?

Very well. I shall know how to act!

I take no leave of you, Miss Bennet.

I send no compliments to your mother.

You deserve no such attention.

I am most seriously displeased.

Drive on!

Lizzy, Lizzy!

I was going to look for
you. Come into my room.

I received a letter this morning,

which has astonished me exceedingly.

From Mr. Collins.

What can he have to say?

He begins with congratulations on the

approaching nuptials
of my eldest daughter,

but I shan't sport
with your intelligence

by reading his remarks on that topic.

Ah, yes. Here, here, here.

''Your daughter
Elizabeth, it is presumed,

"will not long bear
the name of Bennet,

''after her elder
sister has resigned it,

" and the chosen partner of her fate

''may be reasonably
looked up to as one of

"the most illustrious
personages in the land.''

Can you guess who he means, Lizzy?

Now it comes out.

''My motive for cautioning
you is as follows:

''his aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh,

"does not look on the
match with a friendly eye.''

Mr. Darcy, you see, is the man.

Mr. Darcy of all men!

Who never looks at a woman

except to see a blemish!

Are you not diverted?

Oh! Yes.

Mr. Darcy, who probably

never looked at you in his life before!

This is admirable!

But Lizzy, you look as
if you didn't enjoy it.

You're not going to be Missish now,

and pretend to be
affronted by an idle report?

Oh, no, I am excessively diverted.

It's all so strange.

What said Lady Catherine de Bourgh?

I suppose she came
to refuse her consent?

Well, well, well! What do we live for,

but to make sport for our neighbours

and laugh at them in our turn?

True, true.

Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy, ma'am.

- Good day to you!
- Mr. Bingley.

This is a fine day.

Should we perhaps all walk to Meryton?

Lizzy!

Do you mind if I run
to call on Maria Lucas?

No, not at all.

Mr. Darcy.

I can go no longer without thanking you

for your kindness to my poor sister.

Ever since I have known of it,

I've been most anxious to
tell you how grateful I am,

for my family and for myself.

You must not blame my
aunt for telling me.

Lydia betrayed it first,

and then I couldn't rest
till I knew everything.

I know what trouble and what
mortification it must have cost you.

Please let me say this,
please allow me to thank you,

on behalf of all my family,

since they don't know to
whom they are indebted.

If you will thank me, let
it be for yourself alone.

Your family owes me nothing.

As much as I respect them, I
believe I thought only of you.

You're too generous to trifle with me.

If your feelings are what they
were last April, tell me so.

My affections and wishes are unchanged.

But one word from you will
silence me on this subject forever.

Oh, my feelings...

My feelings are...

I am ashamed to remember
what I said then.

My feelings are so different.

In fact, they are quite the opposite.

Lady Catherine told me
of her meeting with you.

I may say that her disclosure had

quite the opposite effect
to the one she had intended.

It taught me to hope, that I had scarcely
ever allowed myself to hope before.

Had you absolutely

decided against me, you would
have acknowledged it openly.

Oh! Yes.

you know enough of my frankness

to believe me capable of that!

After abusing you so to your face,

I could have no scruple in
abusing you to all your relations.

What did you say of me
that I did not deserve?

My behaviour at the
time was unpardonable.

I can hardly think of
it without abhorrence.

Your reproof I shall never forget.

''Had you behaved in a more
gentleman-like manner''.

How those words have tortured me!

I had no idea of their
being taken such a way.

I can easily believe it.

You thought me devoid
of every proper feeling,

I am sure.

The turn of your countenance
I shall never forget.

You said I could not
have addressed you in any

possible way that would have
induced you to accept me.

Do not repeat what I said then!

No, I have been a
selfish being all my life.

As a child I was given good principles,

but was left to follow
them in pride and conceit.

And such I might still
have been, but for you.

Dearest, loveliest Elizabeth!

Engaged to Mr. Darcy!

No, you are joking.

It is impossible!

This is a wretched beginning!

If you don't believe me,
I'm sure no one else will.

Indeed, I am in earnest.

He still loves me, and we are engaged.

It can't be true.

I know how much you dislike him!

No, it is all forgotten!

Perhaps I didn't always
love him as well as I do now.

But... in such cases as these
a good memory is unpardonable.

Dearest Lizzy, do be serious.

How long have you loved him?

It's been coming on so
gradually, I hardly know.

But I believe...

I must date it from my first seeing
his beautiful grounds at Pemberley!

Lizzy!

Are you out of your senses to
be accepting this man, Lizzy?

Have you not always hated him?

- Papa...
- I've given him my consent.

He's the kind of man, indeed,

to whom I should never
dare refuse anything.

But let me advise you to
think the better of it.

I know your disposition, Lizzy.

My child,

let me not have the grief of seeing you

unable to respect your partner in life.

He is rich to be sure,
but will he make you happy?

Have you objections apart from
your belief in my indifference?

None whatever.

We all know him to be a proud,

unpleasant sort of man,

but this would be nothing
if you really liked him.

I do.

I do like him.

I love him.

Indeed, he has no improper pride.

He is perfectly amiable.

If you only knew his generous nature.

I didn't always love him,

but I love him now so very dearly.

He is truly the best
man I have ever known.

Well, my dear,

if this be the case,

he deserves you.

I could not have parted
with you to anyone

less worthy, dear Lizzy.

Dearly beloved,

we are gathered here
in the sight of God,

and in the face of this congregation,

to join together this
man and this woman...

..and this man and this woman

in holy matrimony, which
is an honourable estate,

instituted by God in the
time of man's innocency,

signifying unto us the mystical union
that is between Christ and His Church,

and therefore is not by any
to be enterprised lightly,

or wantonly,

to satisfy man's carnal
lusts and appetites,

but reverently, discreetly,
advisedly, soberly,

and in the fear of God,

duly considering the causes for
which matrimony was ordained.

First, it was ordained for
the procreation of children.

Secondly, as a remedy against sin,

and to avoid fornication.

Thirdly,

for the mutual society, help and comfort
that the one ought to have of the other,

both in prosperity and adversity,

into which holy estate
these persons present

come now to be joined.

Three daughters married!

Oh, Mr. Bennet, God has
been very good to us!

Yes, so it would seem.
