That's interesting.

You see I'm reading Austen
and you assume I'm a romantic?

Why?

Jane Austen
writes romance novels.

Can I ask if you've
ever read any of her books?
19
00:01:10,820 --> 00:01:12,322
Pretty sure I saw a movie.
20
00:01:12,364 --> 00:01:13,531
Right.

a romance author.

ELOISE: Rob, what's going on?
183
00:07:27,322 --> 00:07:28,698
Hi, Eloise.
184
00:07:28,740 --> 00:07:30,700
Are you okay?
Why is Mia crying?
185
00:07:30,742 --> 00:07:32,077
Oh, you should
probably ask her,
186
00:07:32,118 --> 00:07:34,120
'cause I don't understand her
and I never will.
187
00:07:34,162 --> 00:07:35,914
- Rob...
- [sighs]
188
00:07:35,955 --> 00:07:37,290
She forgot this.
189
00:07:37,332 --> 00:07:38,291
Have a nice weekend.
190
00:07:38,333 --> 00:07:39,376
Rob!
191
00:07:39,417 --> 00:07:40,543
[tires squealing]
192
00:07:40,585 --> 00:07:44,130
[Mia crying]
193
00:07:44,172 --> 00:07:46,800
- Mia?
- Is he gone?
194
00:07:46,841 --> 00:07:48,134
Oh...
195
00:07:48,176 --> 00:07:50,637
He asked me to give you these.
196
00:07:50,679 --> 00:07:52,639
Do you want to talk
in my hotel room?
197
00:07:52,681 --> 00:07:54,265
People are staring.
198
00:07:54,307 --> 00:07:55,934
What do they care?
199
00:07:55,975 --> 00:07:58,728
Well, a pretty woman in tears
is always a subject of interest.
200
00:08:03,775 --> 00:08:06,861
[groans]
201
00:08:10,532 --> 00:08:13,034
I take it
you are not engaged...?
202
00:08:13,076 --> 00:08:14,619
We broke up.
203
00:08:14,661 --> 00:08:17,288
[sighs] Mia, why?
What did you do?
204
00:08:17,330 --> 00:08:20,500
What did I do?!
Why do you always think it's me?
205
00:08:20,542 --> 00:08:22,919
Sorry! You thought
he was gonna propose!
206
00:08:22,961 --> 00:08:25,171
Well, I can't
talk about it right now.
207
00:08:25,213 --> 00:08:27,215
I just can't go home.
208
00:08:28,925 --> 00:08:31,052
Do you wanna...
stay with me?
209
00:08:31,094 --> 00:08:33,555
You've got your speech.
You have to network.
210
00:08:33,596 --> 00:08:34,848
Mia, whatever this is,
211
00:08:34,889 --> 00:08:36,516
I'm not letting you
face it on your own.
212
00:08:36,558 --> 00:08:37,684
Thank you!
213
00:08:37,726 --> 00:08:39,686
I promise
I won't be any trouble.
214
00:08:39,728 --> 00:08:42,063
I'll just lie in bed
watching cable,
215
00:08:42,105 --> 00:08:43,523
sobbing into Room Service,
216
00:08:43,565 --> 00:08:45,525
mourning
the destruction of my life.
217
00:08:45,567 --> 00:08:47,277
You won't even see me!
218
00:08:50,196 --> 00:08:51,781
Do you want some water?
219
00:08:51,823 --> 00:08:53,366
Uh-uh.
220
00:08:53,408 --> 00:08:54,534
A hot bath?
221
00:08:54,576 --> 00:08:56,077
[muffled] No.
222
00:08:56,119 --> 00:08:58,496
Ice cream?
223
00:08:58,538 --> 00:09:00,040
[muffled] Mm-hm...
224
00:09:04,961 --> 00:09:06,379
JENNY: Professor!
225
00:09:06,421 --> 00:09:08,214
Professor Cavendish?
226
00:09:08,256 --> 00:09:11,301
Professor Cavendish!
227
00:09:11,343 --> 00:09:13,845
Jenny!
What are you doing here?
228
00:09:13,887 --> 00:09:16,056
Remember how in your class
I wrote a play
229
00:09:16,097 --> 00:09:17,557
instead of a final paper?
230
00:09:17,599 --> 00:09:19,476
- Vividly!
- Guess what?
231
00:09:19,517 --> 00:09:21,561
The Complete Works of
Jane Austen, Abridged,
232
00:09:21,603 --> 00:09:23,605
is about to become a reality.
233
00:09:23,646 --> 00:09:25,648
I'm producing it
at the conference!
234
00:09:25,690 --> 00:09:27,192
This conference?
235
00:09:27,233 --> 00:09:29,944
The JALA people were really
into my PowerPoint presentation.
236
00:09:29,986 --> 00:09:32,280
I told them how much
you inspired me.
237
00:09:32,322 --> 00:09:35,867
That's wonderful, but the play
was completely your idea.
238
00:09:35,909 --> 00:09:37,869
You know what
you tell us in class:
239
00:09:37,911 --> 00:09:40,246
women have to go
above and beyond...
240
00:09:40,288 --> 00:09:41,664
BOTH: ...to get what they want.
241
00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:44,250
This play is my beyond.
242
00:09:44,292 --> 00:09:45,919
You'll come see it, won't you?
243
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,088
I'm gonna be casting it
with members of the conference
244
00:09:48,129 --> 00:09:50,090
and we're gonna be
rehearsing it all weekend--
245
00:09:50,131 --> 00:09:52,008
like in Mansfield Park.
246
00:09:52,050 --> 00:09:54,094
Of course, that didn't
work out well for them,
247
00:09:54,135 --> 00:09:56,930
so that scene is
cut from the third act.
248
00:09:56,971 --> 00:09:59,057
Also, the JALA people
didn't like that it was
249
00:09:59,099 --> 00:10:01,142
more than an hour,
so it's just 40 minutes.
250
00:10:01,184 --> 00:10:03,228
And then I decided to cut
Sense and Sensibility
251
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:04,854
because your note was
just absolutely influential
252
00:10:04,896 --> 00:10:06,481
in the making of this play.
253
00:10:06,523 --> 00:10:10,068
Oh, and then I did a major
rewrite to fit in Lady Susan.
254
00:10:10,110 --> 00:10:13,071
I'll be directing, and I'll be
playing the role of Jane Austen!
255
00:10:13,113 --> 00:10:14,698
[chuckles]
256
00:10:14,739 --> 00:10:16,241
You're... gonna come, right?
257
00:10:16,282 --> 00:10:17,701
I mean, you don't have to,
258
00:10:17,742 --> 00:10:19,285
but I'd, like,
die if you don't.
259
00:10:19,327 --> 00:10:21,454
SAM: [clears throat]
260
00:10:21,496 --> 00:10:22,956
Oh, excuse me, Miss.
261
00:10:22,997 --> 00:10:24,582
Wow.
262
00:10:24,624 --> 00:10:29,087
Um, Mr. Lee,
this is my student, Jenny.
263
00:10:29,129 --> 00:10:32,132
I'm sorry, but I need to
speak to Professor Cavendish
264
00:10:32,173 --> 00:10:35,176
on some very important
guest-of-honour business.
265
00:10:36,594 --> 00:10:38,471
Right.
266
00:10:38,513 --> 00:10:40,598
Uh, if you'll excuse us, Jenny,
I'll see you at your theatrical.
267
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:41,808
Okay!
268
00:10:41,850 --> 00:10:43,309
Bye!
269
00:10:43,351 --> 00:10:44,936
Goodbye!
[laughs]
270
00:10:46,813 --> 00:10:48,189
- What is it?
- Oh, nothing.
271
00:10:48,231 --> 00:10:50,191
I just... thought
you needed rescuing.
272
00:10:50,233 --> 00:10:51,317
[chuckles]
273
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,070
Uh, you gave me a pleading look.
274
00:10:54,112 --> 00:10:55,238
Oh. [laughs]
275
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,365
That wasn't a pleading look.
276
00:10:58,867 --> 00:11:00,827
My eyes rested on you
for a second
277
00:11:00,869 --> 00:11:02,996
and then I immediately
looked away.
278
00:11:03,038 --> 00:11:04,539
Yes.
279
00:11:04,581 --> 00:11:06,207
Well, anyway,
there's a special lesson
280
00:11:06,249 --> 00:11:08,543
to learn all the country dances
for the ball--
281
00:11:08,585 --> 00:11:10,337
Oh, thank you,
but no, I don't dance.
282
00:11:10,378 --> 00:11:11,963
You don't dance?
283
00:11:12,005 --> 00:11:13,256
Well, that can't be true.
284
00:11:13,298 --> 00:11:15,175
If you don't dance,
then you're not a dancer,
285
00:11:15,216 --> 00:11:17,344
and if you're not a dancer,
then how do I reserve
286
00:11:17,385 --> 00:11:18,428
your first dance?
287
00:11:18,470 --> 00:11:19,763
Adorable, aren't they?
288
00:11:19,804 --> 00:11:21,306
They're handing them out
at registration because--
289
00:11:21,348 --> 00:11:22,515
Please stop.
290
00:11:22,557 --> 00:11:24,017
Stop what?
291
00:11:24,059 --> 00:11:26,686
Mr. Lee, there will be no
first dance or second dance,
292
00:11:26,728 --> 00:11:28,563
or any other number.
293
00:11:28,605 --> 00:11:30,315
I will not be dancing,
dressing up,
294
00:11:30,357 --> 00:11:32,776
or pretending to be a teenage
heroine husband-hunting
295
00:11:32,817 --> 00:11:34,361
in a dead century.
296
00:11:34,402 --> 00:11:38,615
I'm a scholar, not some
Fitzwilliam Darcy fangirl.
297
00:11:38,656 --> 00:11:40,325
Fangirl?
298
00:11:40,367 --> 00:11:43,078
I'm not one of these women
who hang off your every word
299
00:11:43,119 --> 00:11:45,497
just because you're wearing
breeches and a hat.
300
00:11:46,998 --> 00:11:48,958
You like attention, Mr. Lee.
301
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,335
There's nothing wrong with that,
302
00:11:50,377 --> 00:11:52,796
but you won't be getting
any of it from me.
303
00:11:54,381 --> 00:11:56,383
Hmm!
304
00:11:56,424 --> 00:11:59,010
You know, you can be a scholar
and still have a little fun.
305
00:11:59,052 --> 00:12:01,930
[under her breath]
Dr. Victoria Jennings?
306
00:12:01,971 --> 00:12:03,056
Hmm?
307
00:12:03,098 --> 00:12:04,391
Excuse me!
308
00:12:04,432 --> 00:12:05,558
I need to network.
309
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,435
Enjoy the rest
of the conference!
310
00:12:30,667 --> 00:12:32,252
ELOISE: So many choices!
311
00:12:32,293 --> 00:12:33,712
Oh!
[chuckles]
312
00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:36,214
If you'd like a recommendation,
I am a bit of an expert.
313
00:12:36,256 --> 00:12:38,758
Oh! [laughs]
Well, I'm a complete beginner,
314
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,885
so I'll take
any tea tips you have.
315
00:12:40,927 --> 00:12:42,929
- Oh!
- I'm Eloise Cavendish.
316
00:12:42,971 --> 00:12:46,683
Oh, hello!
Victoria Jennings, pleasure.
317
00:12:46,725 --> 00:12:48,143
Oh! Is that my edition?
318
00:12:48,184 --> 00:12:50,562
- Yes!
- Oh, please join me!
319
00:12:53,273 --> 00:12:56,109
VICTORIA: My personal favourite
is the Rose Congou.
320
00:12:56,151 --> 00:12:58,611
It's a bit of an acquired taste,
321
00:12:58,653 --> 00:13:00,405
so we'll start you in
on the Lady Grey.
322
00:13:00,447 --> 00:13:02,198
[chuckles]
323
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,283
Two minutes!
324
00:13:03,324 --> 00:13:05,660
Eloise, I'm so glad
I ran into you.
325
00:13:05,702 --> 00:13:07,328
I am looking forward
to your keynote.
326
00:13:07,370 --> 00:13:09,914
It's quite an honour.
I just hope I do it justice.
327
00:13:09,956 --> 00:13:12,625
Well, these events
can be challenging.
328
00:13:12,667 --> 00:13:15,128
Not your traditional
academic conference.
329
00:13:15,170 --> 00:13:16,629
The attendees can be so, uh...
330
00:13:16,671 --> 00:13:17,964
passionate.
331
00:13:18,006 --> 00:13:19,966
I've noticed!
All the costumes, the balls--
332
00:13:20,008 --> 00:13:21,760
it's like Comic-Con
for Jane Austen fans.
333
00:13:21,801 --> 00:13:23,386
[both laugh]
334
00:13:23,428 --> 00:13:24,804
Yes, I know!
335
00:13:24,846 --> 00:13:26,806
- [laughs]
- Isn't it marvellous?
336
00:13:26,848 --> 00:13:28,099
[laughs nervously]
Mmm!
337
00:13:28,141 --> 00:13:30,101
I look forward to it
every year.
338
00:13:30,143 --> 00:13:32,437
I spend all my time
studying Austen,
339
00:13:32,479 --> 00:13:34,105
and then I finally
get a chance to live it!
340
00:13:34,147 --> 00:13:36,399
Uh-huh!
Yeah, of course!
341
00:13:36,441 --> 00:13:39,486
I mean, you've got to be able
to enjoy yourself, don't you?
342
00:13:39,527 --> 00:13:42,405
I mean, otherwise,
how can you instill that joy,
343
00:13:42,447 --> 00:13:44,657
that love of literature
to your students?
344
00:13:44,699 --> 00:13:45,950
That's...
345
00:13:45,992 --> 00:13:47,577
- such a good point.
- Mmm!
346
00:13:47,619 --> 00:13:50,413
I know some scholars who
look down on JALA as something,
347
00:13:50,455 --> 00:13:52,999
oh, I don't know, unserious.
348
00:13:53,041 --> 00:13:55,543
As if you have to take
Austen seriously
349
00:13:55,585 --> 00:13:57,128
in order to understand her.
350
00:13:57,170 --> 00:13:59,673
Snobs.
Dismal, boring snobs!
351
00:13:59,714 --> 00:14:02,550
[both laugh]
352
00:14:02,592 --> 00:14:04,344
Oh, Samuel!
353
00:14:04,386 --> 00:14:06,388
Samuel, come over here
and meet my new friend.
354
00:14:06,429 --> 00:14:08,264
Oh, you don't have to.
He's clearly busy.
355
00:14:08,306 --> 00:14:09,891
Samuel!
356
00:14:09,933 --> 00:14:12,519
Uh, Professor Cavendish,
I'd like to introduce-- muah!
357
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:13,853
My nephew.
358
00:14:13,895 --> 00:14:16,439
He plays Mr. Darcy
at the conference.
359
00:14:16,481 --> 00:14:18,108
Oh, we've met.
360
00:14:18,149 --> 00:14:20,860
Uh, Sam was kind enough
to get me from the airport.
361
00:14:20,902 --> 00:14:22,445
He's my guest-of-honour liaison.
362
00:14:22,487 --> 00:14:24,739
He's been... great.
363
00:14:24,781 --> 00:14:26,908
Well of course,
the official JALA Mr. Darcy
364
00:14:26,950 --> 00:14:30,870
shouldn't be anything
less than a perfect gentleman!
365
00:14:30,912 --> 00:14:32,247
[quietly]
Works in start-ups.
366
00:14:32,288 --> 00:14:34,082
Single.
367
00:14:34,124 --> 00:14:37,460
Um, we were just saying
how much fun the ball will be.
368
00:14:37,502 --> 00:14:39,379
Oh! Really?
369
00:14:39,421 --> 00:14:40,755
Mm-hm!
370
00:14:40,797 --> 00:14:43,133
Oh, Samuel,
she's a delightful woman.
371
00:14:43,174 --> 00:14:45,301
Not one of those stuffed-shirt
academics who doesn't know
372
00:14:45,343 --> 00:14:47,721
how to cut loose
and party like it's 1810.
373
00:14:47,762 --> 00:14:48,972
[both laugh]
374
00:14:49,014 --> 00:14:50,390
Speaking of which,
375
00:14:50,432 --> 00:14:52,392
you didn't invite her
to the special dance lesson.
376
00:14:52,434 --> 00:14:53,518
She's missing it.
377
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,103
He did.
I told him that I--
378
00:14:55,145 --> 00:14:56,646
Already know all the dances.
379
00:14:56,688 --> 00:14:58,273
- VICTORIA: Really?
- SAMUEL: Oh, yes!
380
00:14:58,314 --> 00:15:01,609
Dr. Cavendish is a huge fan
of English country dancing.
381
00:15:01,651 --> 00:15:04,237
Oh, apparently, she belongs
to an association back home.
382
00:15:04,279 --> 00:15:05,947
- No, I don't--
- SAM: Oh, don't be modest!
383
00:15:05,989 --> 00:15:08,116
No, she knows them all!
384
00:15:08,158 --> 00:15:10,869
The Arlington Assembly,
the Ashford Anniversary,
385
00:15:10,910 --> 00:15:12,996
even Mr. Beveridge's
After Dinner Maggot!
386
00:15:13,038 --> 00:15:15,206
Oh!
Which is your favourite?
387
00:15:17,667 --> 00:15:18,960
The After Dinner Maggot...?
388
00:15:19,002 --> 00:15:20,378
Oh, I knew it!
389
00:15:20,420 --> 00:15:22,756
Oh, Samuel,
I hope you reserved a dance!
390
00:15:22,797 --> 00:15:24,382
SAM: Oh, the very first one.
391
00:15:24,424 --> 00:15:27,677
Now, has Eloise told you about
the outfit that she has planned?
392
00:15:27,719 --> 00:15:30,096
- No!
- Uh, Mr. Lee?
393
00:15:30,138 --> 00:15:31,848
Can I steal you for a moment?
394
00:15:31,890 --> 00:15:34,184
Just, I have a few
guest-of-honour questions.
395
00:15:34,225 --> 00:15:36,519
VICTORIA: Oh, but of course!
396
00:15:36,561 --> 00:15:37,645
Take a turn about the room!
397
00:15:37,687 --> 00:15:39,272
[all laugh]
398
00:15:39,314 --> 00:15:41,149
[quietly] Please,
you've made your point.
399
00:15:41,191 --> 00:15:42,317
Really?
400
00:15:42,359 --> 00:15:44,277
Or perhaps I was
just asking for attention.
401
00:15:44,319 --> 00:15:46,446
Mr. Lee,
I am so sorry for what I said!
402
00:15:46,488 --> 00:15:49,449
I can be controlling
when I feel...
403
00:15:49,491 --> 00:15:50,533
stressed.
404
00:15:50,575 --> 00:15:51,826
I stressed you?
405
00:15:51,868 --> 00:15:53,953
No. Not you.
The whole conference.
406
00:15:53,995 --> 00:15:55,288
Look, I'm on the edge
407
00:15:55,330 --> 00:15:57,499
of something I've worked for
my entire life.
408
00:15:57,540 --> 00:16:00,710
My sister's up in my hotel room
crying with her heart broken.
409
00:16:00,752 --> 00:16:02,379
I took it out on you.
410
00:16:02,420 --> 00:16:05,465
It was no way to treat someone
who's been nothing but kind.
411
00:16:08,843 --> 00:16:11,012
You won't tell your aunt,
will you?
412
00:16:11,054 --> 00:16:12,931
You're up for that new
professorship at Princeton,
413
00:16:12,972 --> 00:16:14,557
aren't you?
414
00:16:14,599 --> 00:16:17,977
So, if there's anything
I can do to make it up to you...
415
00:16:18,019 --> 00:16:20,480
Then you'll do it as long
as I keep my mouth shut?
416
00:16:20,522 --> 00:16:22,065
- Yes.
- Hmm.
417
00:16:23,233 --> 00:16:25,151
Alright.
418
00:16:25,193 --> 00:16:27,070
Actually,
I'll do you one better.
419
00:16:27,112 --> 00:16:29,155
I'll help you get the job.
420
00:16:29,197 --> 00:16:32,158
Now, my aunt may seem easygoing,
but she is not
421
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,035
when it comes to the
Princeton English Department,
422
00:16:34,077 --> 00:16:35,453
and she is definitely not
423
00:16:35,495 --> 00:16:38,123
when it comes to
a Jane Austen scholar.
424
00:16:38,164 --> 00:16:40,667
But I've had a lifetime
to learn what she likes
425
00:16:40,709 --> 00:16:42,794
and what she doesn't, so...
426
00:16:42,836 --> 00:16:44,170
I can advise you.
427
00:16:45,922 --> 00:16:47,215
Why would you do that for me?
428
00:16:47,257 --> 00:16:49,259
Oh, I'm not doing it for you.
429
00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:50,552
Look...
430
00:16:52,929 --> 00:16:55,807
That is Crispin Crane.
431
00:16:57,809 --> 00:16:59,227
Actor turned academic.
432
00:16:59,269 --> 00:17:03,440
He played Mr. Willoughby
for British television in 1986.
433
00:17:03,481 --> 00:17:05,817
He's been hovering around
my aunt like a fruit fly
434
00:17:05,859 --> 00:17:08,194
on a banana.
[sighs]
435
00:17:08,236 --> 00:17:10,405
My aunt practically
blushed when she told me
436
00:17:10,447 --> 00:17:12,824
that she was interviewing him
at the conference.
437
00:17:12,866 --> 00:17:14,993
He's flirting
his way into the job.
438
00:17:15,035 --> 00:17:16,369
You want me to block him?
439
00:17:16,411 --> 00:17:17,704
Yes.
440
00:17:19,247 --> 00:17:23,209
My aunt has suffered
enough heartbreak.
441
00:17:23,251 --> 00:17:25,545
I don't want her to get hurt
by some warmed-up
442
00:17:25,587 --> 00:17:27,922
Willoughby wannabe cad.
443
00:17:27,964 --> 00:17:30,842
So, do we have a deal?
444
00:17:30,884 --> 00:17:32,635
What exactly am I agreeing to?
445
00:17:32,677 --> 00:17:33,928
Well, there's the dancing.
446
00:17:33,970 --> 00:17:35,347
You missed
the special dance lesson,
447
00:17:35,388 --> 00:17:37,098
so you've a lot of
catching up to do.
448
00:17:37,140 --> 00:17:38,391
And the outfit.
449
00:17:38,433 --> 00:17:39,517
The outfit?!
450
00:17:39,559 --> 00:17:41,102
Kelsey can probably
help us with that.
451
00:17:41,144 --> 00:17:43,855
Oh, and I need a partner
for the Lawn Games tournament.
452
00:17:46,107 --> 00:17:48,735
My aunt respects
a killer instinct.
453
00:17:48,777 --> 00:17:52,364
But beyond that, just agree
with her on all matters of taste
454
00:17:52,405 --> 00:17:56,451
and, well, be the fantastic
scholar that JALA says you are.
455
00:18:00,330 --> 00:18:02,499
Deal.
456
00:18:02,540 --> 00:18:04,042
No bowing!
457
00:18:04,084 --> 00:18:05,460
Oh, now, that--
458
00:18:05,502 --> 00:18:08,046
you see, that is the sort of
stuffed-shirt attitude
459
00:18:08,088 --> 00:18:09,506
that you're gonna
have to work on.
460
00:18:12,133 --> 00:18:13,426
Text me your room number
461
00:18:13,468 --> 00:18:15,804
and I'll pick you up
at 9:00 am sharp.
462
00:18:24,813 --> 00:18:27,107
Oh, aren't you adorable!
463
00:18:27,148 --> 00:18:28,858
Miss Scott!
464
00:18:28,900 --> 00:18:29,859
What a surprise.
465
00:18:29,901 --> 00:18:32,696
[door opens]
466
00:18:35,407 --> 00:18:37,158
ELIZABETH: [on TV]
Mr. Darcy, I don't understand.
467
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,827
What are you doing here?
468
00:18:38,868 --> 00:18:40,912
DONOVAN: [on TV] You act as if
I invaded your territory!
469
00:18:40,954 --> 00:18:43,289
Elly-bell? What happened?
Are you okay?
470
00:18:43,331 --> 00:18:47,002
I'm fine.
Just academic job search stuff.
471
00:18:47,043 --> 00:18:48,545
I got a lot to do tomorrow.
472
00:18:48,586 --> 00:18:49,963
- Wait, should I go?
- No!
473
00:18:50,005 --> 00:18:51,631
Because I can go.
474
00:18:51,673 --> 00:18:55,719
No, I'm not kicking you out
in the middle of the night.
475
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,095
A romcom?
476
00:18:57,137 --> 00:18:58,680
Is now really the time?
477
00:18:58,722 --> 00:19:01,224
Nothing else was on
except that wedding dress show.
478
00:19:01,266 --> 00:19:02,684
Do you have my ice cream?
479
00:19:05,228 --> 00:19:06,604
Uh...
480
00:19:06,646 --> 00:19:09,190
Praline and Prejudice
or Mansfield Chunk?
481
00:19:09,232 --> 00:19:11,234
What's Mansfield Chunk?
482
00:19:11,276 --> 00:19:12,944
Basically Rocky Road
but with coffee.
483
00:19:12,986 --> 00:19:14,446
Yeah!
484
00:19:16,614 --> 00:19:17,615
Oh, yeah.
485
00:19:23,455 --> 00:19:25,290
ELIZABETH: [TV]
What does that mean, exactly?
486
00:19:25,331 --> 00:19:26,249
DONOVAN: [TV]
Nothing.
487
00:19:26,291 --> 00:19:27,500
What's wrong with men?
488
00:19:27,542 --> 00:19:29,586
Why didn't Rob propose?
489
00:19:29,627 --> 00:19:32,130
It's not
that he didn't propose.
490
00:19:32,172 --> 00:19:34,090
- He proposed?!
- In the kitchen!
491
00:19:34,132 --> 00:19:37,218
Over takeout coffee
like it was an afterthought.
492
00:19:37,260 --> 00:19:38,511
He didn't even kneel!
493
00:19:38,553 --> 00:19:41,097
He just handed me
the mocha and said,
494
00:19:41,139 --> 00:19:43,683
"So, there's something
I wanna talk to you about."
495
00:19:43,725 --> 00:19:45,101
Oh...
496
00:19:45,143 --> 00:19:46,936
And then he went right
into talking about finances
497
00:19:46,978 --> 00:19:49,731
and house down payments
and timelines!
498
00:19:49,773 --> 00:19:51,566
I'm surprised he didn't
have a PowerPoint about
499
00:19:51,608 --> 00:19:53,610
why it was [deep voice]
"A good decision!"
500
00:19:53,651 --> 00:19:55,111
Well, isn't it a good decision?
501
00:19:55,153 --> 00:19:56,196
I mean, you two just...
502
00:19:56,237 --> 00:19:57,655
work together.
503
00:19:57,697 --> 00:20:00,283
But there was nothing
about love in that proposal!
504
00:20:00,325 --> 00:20:02,577
No passion, no romance.
505
00:20:02,619 --> 00:20:05,580
And I just thought, "This is
gonna be the rest of my life."
506
00:20:05,622 --> 00:20:07,707
This is the most important
moment of our love story
507
00:20:07,749 --> 00:20:09,376
and all he gave me
was a mocha from the kiosk
508
00:20:09,417 --> 00:20:10,919
in the grocery store!
509
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,462
He could have at least
grabbed roses!
510
00:20:12,504 --> 00:20:13,630
They're right there!
511
00:20:13,672 --> 00:20:15,256
Did you tell him how you feel?
512
00:20:15,298 --> 00:20:17,092
He doesn't think it's valid.
513
00:20:17,133 --> 00:20:18,843
Well, I can
talk to him for you.
514
00:20:18,885 --> 00:20:22,347
Just... I think you have
a communication issue.
515
00:20:22,389 --> 00:20:24,891
There's no fixing this, Eloise.
516
00:20:24,933 --> 00:20:27,102
I'm a romantic!
517
00:20:28,603 --> 00:20:30,563
And he's an accountant.
518
00:20:30,605 --> 00:20:32,816
All this time,
he supposedly loved me
519
00:20:32,857 --> 00:20:35,443
and he was just putting up
with my nonsense.
520
00:20:35,485 --> 00:20:36,945
Did he say that?
521
00:20:36,986 --> 00:20:39,781
I don't wanna be
put up with, Eloise.
522
00:20:39,823 --> 00:20:41,616
I wanna be loved!
523
00:20:41,658 --> 00:20:43,326
Aw...
524
00:20:43,368 --> 00:20:44,994
I love you, Mimi.
525
00:20:45,036 --> 00:20:46,413
[whimpers]
526
00:20:46,454 --> 00:20:48,498
And I put up
with your nonsense.
527
00:20:49,916 --> 00:20:52,961
But for what it's worth,
I do think Rob loves you too.
528
00:20:55,463 --> 00:20:57,924
Love is about
putting yourself out there,
529
00:20:57,966 --> 00:21:00,427
risking it all.
530
00:21:00,468 --> 00:21:03,096
Rob isn't willing
to risk anything!
531
00:21:03,138 --> 00:21:05,473
[muffled sobbing]
532
00:21:10,437 --> 00:21:11,938

wouldn't you say that, um,

you an unusual insight

651

but it's not always useful.

00:27:46,791 --> 00:27:47,876
That was a joke.
710
00:27:47,917 --> 00:27:50,086
Uh, I don't know
if you've noticed,
711
00:27:50,128 --> 00:27:51,921
but I make a lot of those.
712
00:27:53,173 --> 00:27:54,758
Is that a defence mechanism?
713
00:27:54,799 --> 00:27:56,176
The hat or the jokes?
714
00:27:58,762 --> 00:28:01,556
Yeah, we are not
psychoanalyzing me,
715
00:28:01,598 --> 00:28:03,558
we are here to get you that job.
716
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:04,768
I thought I nailed it!
717
00:28:04,809 --> 00:28:06,644
Uh, professor?
It is only Thursday.
718
00:28:06,686 --> 00:28:08,313
We have a long weekend
ahead of us,
719
00:28:08,355 --> 00:28:10,565
and you still don't know
how to dance.
720
00:28:10,607 --> 00:28:12,192
Ah-ah-ah,
don't make that face!
721
00:28:13,526 --> 00:28:15,362
You told my aunt
that you know all the dances.
722
00:28:15,403 --> 00:28:16,279
I didn't, you did!
723
00:28:16,321 --> 00:28:17,822
Let's not throw blame around.
724
00:28:17,864 --> 00:28:20,075
We have work to do.
725
00:28:20,116 --> 00:28:22,035
I have an idea--
I'll break my ankle.
726
00:28:22,077 --> 00:28:23,161
Oh, no, good idea.
727
00:28:23,203 --> 00:28:25,288
Break it
while learning to dance.
728
00:28:25,330 --> 00:28:28,249
Uh, this part of the hotel
doesn't look open to guests.
729
00:28:28,291 --> 00:28:30,085
Are you always
such a rule-follower?
730
00:28:30,126 --> 00:28:31,836
Huh, well, I guess
that's a great way
731
00:28:31,878 --> 00:28:33,963
to avoid being noticed.
732
00:28:34,005 --> 00:28:36,341
Now you're psychoanalyzing me?
733
00:28:36,383 --> 00:28:37,509
[door closes]
734
00:28:37,550 --> 00:28:38,885
- Where are we going?
- Somewhere private.
735
00:28:38,927 --> 00:28:40,929
You'd get embarrassed otherwise.
736
00:28:40,970 --> 00:28:42,263
That's surprisingly considerate.
737
00:28:42,305 --> 00:28:44,391
Plus, we can't risk
revealing your dark secret.
738
00:28:44,432 --> 00:28:45,433
That I can't dance?
739
00:28:45,475 --> 00:28:47,644
That you're no fun.
740
00:28:47,686 --> 00:28:50,021
Now, it's just a little bit
closed for renovations,
741
00:28:50,063 --> 00:28:52,273
but that means that
no one will wander in.
742
00:28:52,315 --> 00:28:55,110
Unless they're willing
to ignore all the signs.
743
00:28:55,151 --> 00:28:56,444
SAM: What can I say?
744
00:28:56,486 --> 00:28:58,279
I like exploring.
745
00:28:58,321 --> 00:29:01,408
I found this place yesterday,
and I thought to myself,
746
00:29:01,449 --> 00:29:04,411
"There must be
some earthly use for it."
747
00:29:04,452 --> 00:29:05,954
It's lovely.
748
00:29:05,995 --> 00:29:08,123
And I'm sure any
pretty, young Jane Austen fan
749
00:29:08,164 --> 00:29:10,625
you brought here
would be swept off her feet.
750
00:29:14,004 --> 00:29:16,089
So, first things first.
751
00:29:19,634 --> 00:29:21,011
The After Dinner Maggot.
752
00:29:23,096 --> 00:29:24,305
[instrumental music playing]
753
00:29:24,347 --> 00:29:26,057
Come on.
Come, come, come, come, come!
754
00:29:27,517 --> 00:29:29,853
The men on this side,
women on that side.
755
00:29:29,894 --> 00:29:31,271
Although we never
have enough men,
756
00:29:31,312 --> 00:29:32,981
so you'll probably
have to learn both sides.
757
00:29:33,023 --> 00:29:34,274
Right, we split and return.
758
00:29:34,315 --> 00:29:36,151
May I?
And, here we go!
759
00:29:36,192 --> 00:29:39,154
And...
[counting steps quietly]
760
00:29:39,195 --> 00:29:41,156
'Round the other dancers.
761
00:29:41,197 --> 00:29:43,491
- What dancers?
- Uh, the imaginary dancers.
762
00:29:43,533 --> 00:29:46,745
That's it, and...
763
00:29:46,786 --> 00:29:48,538
And right, left, right,
and right.
764
00:29:48,580 --> 00:29:51,833
And left, right, left,
and left, and left.
765
00:29:51,875 --> 00:29:53,543
Left, uh...
766
00:29:53,585 --> 00:29:54,669
You're the left.
767
00:29:54,711 --> 00:29:56,379
Okay.
768
00:29:56,421 --> 00:29:58,381
Now, you allemande on the fourth
corner on the second count
769
00:29:58,423 --> 00:30:00,342
and it's the second corner
on the third.
770
00:30:00,383 --> 00:30:02,552
But remember that we have to
end up where we started
771
00:30:02,594 --> 00:30:04,387
- so that we can switch again.
- What?!
772
00:30:04,429 --> 00:30:07,682
[music continues]
773
00:30:07,724 --> 00:30:10,935
SAM: [with music]
Dah... dah...
774
00:30:10,977 --> 00:30:16,900
[music continues]
775
00:30:16,941 --> 00:30:18,193
SAM: [with music]
Dah, dah, dah!
776
00:30:18,234 --> 00:30:19,486
Good!
Much better!
777
00:30:19,527 --> 00:30:21,279
Now, you made it through
the whole figure
778
00:30:21,321 --> 00:30:22,364
without making any mistakes.
779
00:30:22,405 --> 00:30:24,491
Now you may venture
a witty remark.
780
00:30:24,532 --> 00:30:27,202
I can't.
My brain's processing power
781
00:30:27,243 --> 00:30:29,871
- is tied up in my feet.
- Well, ignore your feet.
782
00:30:29,913 --> 00:30:31,039
You're looking
at your feet so much
783
00:30:31,081 --> 00:30:33,458
that I'm starting
to get jealous.
784
00:30:33,500 --> 00:30:34,751
Look at me.
785
00:30:34,793 --> 00:30:37,128
Remember, I like attention.
786
00:30:37,170 --> 00:30:38,380
You're so annoying.
787
00:30:38,421 --> 00:30:40,423
You are so...
788
00:30:40,465 --> 00:30:41,591
graceful.
789
00:30:41,633 --> 00:30:42,842
[music stops]
790
00:30:42,884 --> 00:30:44,636
See?
791
00:30:44,678 --> 00:30:47,013
It wasn't that bad, was it?
792
00:30:47,055 --> 00:30:49,391
Now, the next step is
to do it all again,
793
00:30:49,432 --> 00:30:50,975
but without counting
under your breath
794
00:30:51,017 --> 00:30:53,561
and without stomping around
like you're wearing moon boots.
795
00:30:55,563 --> 00:30:57,232
- [music starts again]
- Now, just relax.
796
00:30:57,273 --> 00:30:59,818
Shoulders back, eyes up,
and remember:
797
00:30:59,859 --> 00:31:01,569
you are graceful,
you are elegant,
798
00:31:01,611 --> 00:31:03,988
you are the most beautiful
girl in the ballroom!
799
00:31:04,030 --> 00:31:05,281
- You must--
- Stop.
800
00:31:05,323 --> 00:31:06,950
This isn't gonna work.
801
00:31:06,991 --> 00:31:09,744
It's fine here by myself, but
out there in front of everyone?
802
00:31:09,786 --> 00:31:11,413
I-I can't do this.
803
00:31:11,454 --> 00:31:13,623
- [music stops]
- Sorry if I went too fast,
804
00:31:13,665 --> 00:31:14,833
if I, um--
805
00:31:14,874 --> 00:31:16,042
No, it's not you.
It's just...
806
00:31:16,084 --> 00:31:17,585
I don't dance!
807
00:31:17,627 --> 00:31:19,295
I don't like being
the centre of attention.
808
00:31:19,337 --> 00:31:21,089
But aren't you
about to give a speech
809
00:31:21,131 --> 00:31:23,091
in front of a room
full of people?
810
00:31:23,133 --> 00:31:25,260
That's being an academic.
That's what I'm used to.
811
00:31:25,301 --> 00:31:28,054
I'm used to being the girl
off to the side in the corner
812
00:31:28,096 --> 00:31:30,515
reading a book,
not the girl on the dance floor.
813
00:31:30,557 --> 00:31:31,933
That's Mia.
814
00:31:31,975 --> 00:31:32,934
My sister.
815
00:31:32,976 --> 00:31:34,853
The one in your hotel room.
816
00:31:34,894 --> 00:31:37,147
She's very comfortable
being the centre of attention
817
00:31:37,188 --> 00:31:38,732
and sometimes
will create situations
818
00:31:38,773 --> 00:31:40,108
where that can happen.
819
00:31:40,150 --> 00:31:41,985
Everyone has a role
in their family.
820
00:31:42,027 --> 00:31:44,446
I'm the smart one,
the practical one.
821
00:31:44,487 --> 00:31:48,783
Mia's pretty and reckless
and charming, and...
822
00:31:48,825 --> 00:31:50,452
unlike me, a great dancer.
823
00:31:50,493 --> 00:31:52,829
What's the worst
that can happen?
824
00:31:52,871 --> 00:31:54,080
I'll mess up!
825
00:31:54,122 --> 00:31:55,999
I'll look like a fool!
826
00:31:56,041 --> 00:31:58,001
I'll look like a woman
pretending to be...
827
00:31:58,043 --> 00:31:59,127
Pretending to be what?
828
00:31:59,169 --> 00:32:01,546
A heroine in a romance novel, alright?
829
00:32:01,588 --> 00:32:03,465
I'll look like an unmarried
woman in her thirties
830
00:32:03,506 --> 00:32:04,799
pretending to be
Elizabeth Bennet
831
00:32:04,841 --> 00:32:07,510
looking for Mr. Darcy.
832
00:32:07,552 --> 00:32:08,678
[sighs]
833
00:32:16,728 --> 00:32:20,315
I did pretend to be
Elizabeth Bennet once
834
00:32:20,357 --> 00:32:23,109
for a homecoming dance
when I was 15.
835
00:32:23,151 --> 00:32:24,569
I bought the dress from here.
836
00:32:24,611 --> 00:32:27,364
Well, not here, actually;
another JALA conference.
837
00:32:27,405 --> 00:32:30,450
You went to a JALA conference
when you were 15?
838
00:32:30,492 --> 00:32:33,161
My parents liked to
encourage my interests.
839
00:32:33,203 --> 00:32:34,704
It's kind of a curse.
840
00:32:37,207 --> 00:32:39,334
But it was a train ride away
841
00:32:39,376 --> 00:32:41,670
and it was
Pride and Prejudice themed,
842
00:32:41,711 --> 00:32:42,837
and I...
843
00:32:42,879 --> 00:32:45,548
I just loved the book so much.
844
00:32:45,590 --> 00:32:48,426
It was the first book I read
that I really loved,
845
00:32:48,468 --> 00:32:51,930
and everyone there
loved it too.
846
00:32:51,971 --> 00:32:54,140
And they treated me
like I was...
847
00:32:54,182 --> 00:32:55,975
sophisticated and interesting
848
00:32:56,017 --> 00:32:58,937
and like a real-life
Austen ingénue.
849
00:32:58,978 --> 00:33:01,856
[both chuckle]
850
00:33:01,898 --> 00:33:04,943
Anyway, I got carried away
and I bought this dress.
851
00:33:04,984 --> 00:33:07,737
And you wore it to homecoming?
852
00:33:07,779 --> 00:33:10,365
I thought that if
Cody Anderson could see me
853
00:33:10,407 --> 00:33:12,242
across the dance floor,
he'd realize
854
00:33:12,283 --> 00:33:14,285
how sophisticated
and interesting I was.
855
00:33:14,327 --> 00:33:16,204
Ah!
And what happened?
856
00:33:16,246 --> 00:33:18,039
He saw me
across the dance floor
857
00:33:18,081 --> 00:33:20,125
and, uh, he laughed.
858
00:33:20,166 --> 00:33:22,085
And then everyone saw me
and they all laughed,
859
00:33:22,127 --> 00:33:23,920
and then I ran
and hid in the library.
860
00:33:23,962 --> 00:33:26,381
Janitor let me in;
nice man.
861
00:33:26,423 --> 00:33:28,258
Oh.
862
00:33:28,299 --> 00:33:30,927
Well, Cody Anderson's an idiot.
863
00:33:32,721 --> 00:33:36,141
Ah, I bet there was
a boy at that dance
864
00:33:36,182 --> 00:33:39,394
who wondered
where you went all night.
865
00:33:39,436 --> 00:33:43,231
A huge nerd
who was into computers
866
00:33:43,273 --> 00:33:45,358
and classic literature.
867
00:33:46,234 --> 00:33:47,527
[chuckles]
868
00:33:47,569 --> 00:33:49,154
Hey, it's not as if I was
869
00:33:49,195 --> 00:33:50,989
tearing up
the dance floor at 15.
870
00:33:53,700 --> 00:33:55,410
Look, I know
that it's embarrassing
871
00:33:55,452 --> 00:33:58,413
to wear this outfit.
872
00:33:58,455 --> 00:34:00,081
You know what the most
embarrassing part is?
873
00:34:00,123 --> 00:34:02,584
No.
874
00:34:02,625 --> 00:34:04,085
I like it.
875
00:34:04,127 --> 00:34:06,046
[both laugh]
876
00:34:06,087 --> 00:34:07,630
Come on.
877
00:34:11,009 --> 00:34:14,804
SAM: For the first few years,
it was like a favour to my aunt.
878
00:34:14,846 --> 00:34:17,807
But the truth is that I don't
get to be the romantic hero
879
00:34:17,849 --> 00:34:19,392
in my normal life.
880
00:34:21,394 --> 00:34:24,939
No, my normal life
is dealing with start-up bros
881
00:34:24,981 --> 00:34:27,400
and enduring their jokes.
882
00:34:27,442 --> 00:34:29,235
But everywhere I go
as Mr. Darcy,
883
00:34:29,277 --> 00:34:31,029
I make women happy.
884
00:34:31,071 --> 00:34:33,281
- Must be fun.

00:55:20,362 --> 00:55:22,697
What are you doing here?
1413
00:55:22,739 --> 00:55:24,824
What am I... doing?
What are you doing here?
1414
00:55:24,866 --> 00:55:26,493
Victorian lawn games.
1415
00:55:26,534 --> 00:55:27,619
Regency.
1416
00:55:27,660 --> 00:55:28,703
Regency lawn games.
1417
00:55:28,745 --> 00:55:30,455
Yeah, looks like
an absolute blast.
1418
00:55:30,497 --> 00:55:32,207
Who's your friend here?
1419
00:55:32,248 --> 00:55:33,708
That's none of your business!
1420
00:55:33,750 --> 00:55:34,834
Sam.
1421
00:55:34,876 --> 00:55:36,002
I'm Sam Lee.
1422
00:55:36,044 --> 00:55:38,672
I wasn't actually
speaking to you...
1423
00:55:38,713 --> 00:55:40,006
sir.
1424
00:55:40,048 --> 00:55:41,841
What, are you on a date
with this, uh,
1425
00:55:41,883 --> 00:55:43,343
romance novel
cover model reject?
1426
00:55:43,385 --> 00:55:44,511
So what if I am?
1427
00:55:44,552 --> 00:55:46,388
Rob, we broke up.
1428
00:55:46,429 --> 00:55:48,848
Less than two days ago
I asked you to marry me.
1429
00:55:48,890 --> 00:55:49,974
Actually, you should know this.
1430
00:55:50,016 --> 00:55:51,726
I asked her to marry me
two days ago.
1431
00:55:51,768 --> 00:55:53,770
Uh, I'm just here
for the Lawn Games.
1432
00:55:53,812 --> 00:55:55,146
MIA: You dumped me!
1433
00:55:55,188 --> 00:55:56,940
ROB: Because I asked you
to marry me.
1434
00:55:56,981 --> 00:55:58,358
You said the question
was "depressing."
1435
00:55:58,400 --> 00:55:59,651
Not because of you, Rob!
1436
00:55:59,693 --> 00:56:01,111
Because of the way
that you asked it!
1437
00:56:01,152 --> 00:56:02,362
ROB: Well, what did you want?
1438
00:56:02,404 --> 00:56:04,531
You want me to make
a fool out of myself
1439
00:56:04,572 --> 00:56:06,741
in front of everybody
to prove how much I love you?
1440
00:56:06,783 --> 00:56:08,451
MIA: It would be nice.
1441
00:56:08,493 --> 00:56:11,037
Rob, maybe we can go back to my
hotel room to talk about this.
1442
00:56:11,079 --> 00:56:13,039
ROB: No, Eloise, I don't need
any more of your help!
1443
00:56:13,081 --> 00:56:14,749
I came because you said
Mia was devastated,
1444
00:56:14,791 --> 00:56:15,917
and she doesn't look
very devastated.
1445
00:56:15,959 --> 00:56:17,502
You told him what?
1446
00:56:17,544 --> 00:56:19,629
Well, I just wanted to help
you two communicate.
1447
00:56:19,671 --> 00:56:22,048
Well, we're communicating now,
Eloise, are you happy?
1448
00:56:22,090 --> 00:56:25,135
And for the record, Rob,
I was devastated.
1449
00:56:25,176 --> 00:56:29,055
I completely,
completely love you!
1450
00:56:29,097 --> 00:56:31,182
But you don't like me,
1451
00:56:31,224 --> 00:56:33,101
because something
that is as important to me
1452
00:56:33,143 --> 00:56:38,982
as a romantic wedding proposal
is just like a big joke to you.
1453
00:56:39,024 --> 00:56:41,317
Look, I-I don't want it
to end this way, alright?
1454
00:56:41,359 --> 00:56:44,154
I don't want it to end
because of some stu--
1455
00:56:44,195 --> 00:56:46,114
[sighs]
What can I do, alright?
1456
00:56:46,156 --> 00:56:48,074
What's it gonna take?
1457
00:56:50,118 --> 00:56:52,078
A lot more than this.
1458
00:56:55,582 --> 00:56:57,584
Fine.
1459
00:56:57,625 --> 00:56:59,586
I'm-- I'm leaving.
1460
00:56:59,627 --> 00:57:01,713
And I'm taking these...
1461
00:57:01,755 --> 00:57:02,714
perfectly good flowers.
1462
00:57:05,550 --> 00:57:07,344
- Mia?
- Eloise.
1463
00:57:07,385 --> 00:57:10,472
I appreciate the thought but
this has nothing to do with you.
1464
00:57:11,723 --> 00:57:13,099
Uh...
1465
00:57:13,141 --> 00:57:15,393
Well, I think it's high time
for pall-mall.
1466
00:57:15,435 --> 00:57:16,895
I'll get the clubs!
1467
00:57:16,936 --> 00:57:18,438
I'll help.
1468
00:57:21,733 --> 00:57:23,735
[sighs]
1469
00:57:23,777 --> 00:57:25,278
Eloise, I'm sorry.
1470
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:27,739
Look, I honestly
only wanted to cheer her up.
1471
00:57:27,781 --> 00:57:30,075
I had no idea
her ex would be here.
1472
00:57:30,116 --> 00:57:31,910
And I certainly didn't think
that he would interpret--
1473
00:57:31,951 --> 00:57:33,912
There's no need to apologize.
1474
00:57:33,953 --> 00:57:35,997
It has nothing to do with me.
1475
00:57:36,039 --> 00:57:36,915
I'm sure your sister
didn't mean--
1476
00:57:36,956 --> 00:57:38,416
My sister was right.
1477
00:57:38,458 --> 00:57:40,794
I've been sticking my nose in
where it's not wanted.
1478
00:57:40,835 --> 00:57:43,171
And I have enough to worry about
this weekend with the keynote
1479
00:57:43,213 --> 00:57:45,465
and everything else.
1480
00:57:45,507 --> 00:57:46,675
Let's exert ourselves!
1481
00:57:46,716 --> 00:57:48,093
Let's have fun!
1482
00:58:00,105 --> 00:58:01,856
JENNY: Professor Cavendish!
1483
00:58:01,898 --> 00:58:03,316
ELOISE: Jenny?
1484
00:58:03,358 --> 00:58:05,985
I need your help!
This show is about to be ruined.
1485
00:58:06,027 --> 00:58:08,947
- Ruined?
- Two of our actors dropped out.
1486
00:58:08,988 --> 00:58:10,115
The play is tomorrow, right?
1487
00:58:10,156 --> 00:58:12,325
- It's tonight!
- Oh.
1488
00:58:12,367 --> 00:58:14,536
We've got four hours.
1489
00:58:14,577 --> 00:58:17,956
I just need two actors
to play Darcy and Elizabeth,
1490
00:58:17,997 --> 00:58:19,416
and I was thinking, maybe,
1491
00:58:19,457 --> 00:58:21,876
since your friend
already has the costume...
1492
00:58:21,918 --> 00:58:23,336
I'd be happy to help.
1493
00:58:23,378 --> 00:58:25,922
In fact, I think I can
get you some tech crew.
1494
00:58:25,964 --> 00:58:27,924
And then, for Elizabeth,
1495
00:58:27,966 --> 00:58:30,093
I was thinking
maybe someone who's...
1496
00:58:30,135 --> 00:58:32,137
a really good public speaker.
1497
00:58:32,178 --> 00:58:33,471
Someone who knows the novels
1498
00:58:33,513 --> 00:58:36,808
and kind of sparkles with
vivacity and charisma.
1499
00:58:36,850 --> 00:58:38,977
Well, I'm not sure if I--
I don't know if I could, um--
1500
00:58:39,019 --> 00:58:40,478
I'll do it!
1501
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:42,313
Mia Cavendish, former star
of every high school
1502
00:58:42,355 --> 00:58:43,815
and one and a half
college musicals.
1503
00:58:43,857 --> 00:58:46,985
Uh, you are...
1504
00:58:47,027 --> 00:58:49,070
the right size for the costume.
1505
00:58:49,112 --> 00:58:50,155
Ha, you are cast!
1506
00:58:50,196 --> 00:58:51,906
- Oh!
- You are all cast.
1507
00:58:51,948 --> 00:58:54,325
Except you, Professor Cavendish.
1508
00:58:54,367 --> 00:58:56,327
Oh, well, I can
help out with the set.
1509
00:58:56,369 --> 00:58:58,121
That's where I really shine
in the theatre...
1510
00:58:58,163 --> 00:58:59,330
Off-stage.
1511
00:58:59,372 --> 00:59:02,417
This'll be just
like high school!
1512
00:59:02,459 --> 00:59:05,128
And then come back
around here...
1513
00:59:05,170 --> 00:59:07,130
And... bow!
1514
00:59:07,172 --> 00:59:08,465
Lift up the quill.
1515
00:59:08,506 --> 00:59:11,760
Everyone,
hands up towards the quill.
1516
00:59:11,801 --> 00:59:12,969
KELSEY: Hey.
1517
00:59:14,763 --> 00:59:15,847
You are...
1518
00:59:15,889 --> 00:59:16,973
terrible at sewing.
1519
00:59:17,015 --> 00:59:18,224
I'm so glad you're here.
1520
00:59:18,266 --> 00:59:19,893
I'm never gonna
get through this.
1521
00:59:19,934 --> 00:59:20,894
Give it...
1522
00:59:22,270 --> 00:59:24,356
Sam texted me
for help with a play.
1523
00:59:24,397 --> 00:59:25,857
Just like in high school.
1524
00:59:25,899 --> 00:59:28,151
ELOISE: Guess I'll paint.
1525
00:59:28,193 --> 00:59:29,861
KELSEY: Who's that
that Sam's talking to?
1526
00:59:31,071 --> 00:59:32,030
My sister.
1527
00:59:32,072 --> 00:59:33,740
Oh...
1528
00:59:33,782 --> 00:59:35,700
She's comfortable
in the spotlight...
1529
00:59:35,742 --> 00:59:36,701
like Sam.
1530
00:59:36,743 --> 00:59:38,745
[laughs]
1531
00:59:38,787 --> 00:59:40,205
Are you kidding?
1532
00:59:40,246 --> 00:59:42,874
Sam's the shyest man
I've ever known.
1533
00:59:42,916 --> 00:59:45,835
When we first met, he could
hardly speak in front of a girl.
1534
00:59:45,877 --> 00:59:47,212
You're kidding.
1535
00:59:47,253 --> 00:59:49,881
He's been bowing
and kissing hands all weekend.
1536
00:59:49,923 --> 00:59:51,508
No, no, no, that's the thing...
1537
00:59:51,549 --> 00:59:53,885
It's 'cause
he's wearing a costume.
1538
00:59:53,927 --> 00:59:55,220
Girl, watch your brush!
1539
00:59:55,261 --> 00:59:56,680
Mm, sorry.
1540
00:59:56,721 --> 00:59:58,973
It started in high school
when he stepped in
1541
00:59:59,015 --> 01:00:00,975
for Benedict in that Much Ado.
1542
01:00:01,017 --> 01:00:03,520
Sam was a weird nerd.
1543
01:00:03,561 --> 01:00:05,063
Like, he liked computers
better than people.
1544
01:00:05,105 --> 01:00:07,649
But once you gave him a script
1545
01:00:07,691 --> 01:00:09,401
and put a little
outfit on him...?
1546
01:00:09,442 --> 01:00:10,860
Bam!
[snaps finger]
1547
01:00:10,902 --> 01:00:12,028
He was the leading man.
1548
01:00:13,363 --> 01:00:14,823
So it's all a front?
1549
01:00:14,864 --> 01:00:16,282
No.
1550
01:00:16,324 --> 01:00:18,743
Some people just
do better with a script.
1551
01:00:18,785 --> 01:00:20,912
That's why he dated
so many drama queens.
1552
01:00:22,706 --> 01:00:23,707
Men like drama.
1553
01:00:23,748 --> 01:00:25,291
Hmph! I guess.
1554
01:00:27,127 --> 01:00:29,671
I come bearing pizza!
1555
01:00:29,713 --> 01:00:30,797
CROWD: Yay!
1556
01:00:33,883 --> 01:00:35,552
VICTORIA: You look pensive, Cavendish.
1557
01:00:35,593 --> 01:00:37,721
Why aren't you sitting with
your young people over there?
1558
01:00:37,762 --> 01:00:40,140
ELOISE: I just wanted some space
to think about tomorrow.
1559
01:00:40,181 --> 01:00:42,559
Of course, my presentation
is all prepared and rehearsed,
1560
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:44,894
but still...
I like to go above and beyond.
1561
01:00:44,936 --> 01:00:47,439
Oh, women always have to
to get what they want.
1562
01:00:48,982 --> 01:00:50,942
That's what I tell my students.
1563
01:00:50,984 --> 01:00:53,820
Well, I hope it's easier
for them than it was for me.
1564
01:00:53,862 --> 01:00:56,740
[sighs] I had to make
a lot of difficult choices.
1565
01:00:56,781 --> 01:00:59,784
There are many things I might
have wanted in an ideal world
1566
01:00:59,826 --> 01:01:01,995
that just weren't compatible
with an academic career
1567
01:01:02,037 --> 01:01:03,872
at the time.
1568
01:01:03,913 --> 01:01:05,123
I'm sorry.
1569
01:01:05,165 --> 01:01:08,001
Oh, no, I like to look forward.
1570
01:01:08,043 --> 01:01:10,378
And it's my dearest hope
for you, Professor Cavendish,
1571
01:01:10,420 --> 01:01:13,256
in whom I see
so very much of myself,
1572
01:01:13,298 --> 01:01:15,175
that you get every
single thing that you want.
1573
01:01:15,216 --> 01:01:17,427
The career, the acclaim.
1574
01:01:17,469 --> 01:01:19,179
Perhaps some fun
on the weekends...
1575
01:01:19,220 --> 01:01:20,930
- [chuckles]
- And a partner.
1576
01:01:20,972 --> 01:01:22,140
Why not?
1577
01:01:22,182 --> 01:01:23,725
That is,
if you care to have one.
1578
01:01:23,767 --> 01:01:24,809
I care to.
1579
01:01:24,851 --> 01:01:26,686
Uh, he just has to be
the right one.
1580
01:01:26,728 --> 01:01:27,854
Mm-hm!
1581
01:01:27,896 --> 01:01:29,314
Isn't that the truth.
1582
01:01:29,356 --> 01:01:32,025
A world full of
Wickhams and Collinses.
1583
01:01:32,067 --> 01:01:33,693
If you stumble upon a Darcy,
1584
01:01:33,735 --> 01:01:35,153

01:17:50,462 --> 01:17:52,297
Eloise, you didn't think--
1937
01:17:52,339 --> 01:17:53,757
Let's not rehash
what I thought.
1938
01:17:53,798 --> 01:17:55,300
I'm just so happy for you.
1939
01:17:55,342 --> 01:17:57,469
Mmm!
I'm happy for me too!
1940
01:17:57,510 --> 01:17:59,554
We're getting married!

[tapping on glass]
1942
01:18:04,351 --> 01:18:07,812
And now we actually will hear
from our keynote speaker,
1943
01:18:07,854 --> 01:18:09,606
Dr. Eloise Cavendish,
1944
01:18:09,647 --> 01:18:11,441
who will commence the dancing.
1945
01:18:11,483 --> 01:18:14,861
[applause]
1946
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:18,656
Thank you.
I, um...
1947
01:18:20,533 --> 01:18:21,701
Sorry.
1948
01:18:21,743 --> 01:18:23,828
I'm so sorry, it's just...
1949
01:18:23,870 --> 01:18:25,914
my sister just got engaged.
1950
01:18:25,955 --> 01:18:28,166
[applause]
1951
01:18:30,669 --> 01:18:32,671
But I do want
to say one thing
1952
01:18:32,712 --> 01:18:34,923
before we officially
begin the evening.
1953
01:18:40,845 --> 01:18:43,682
I have loved these novels
1954
01:18:43,723 --> 01:18:46,851
and these characters
since I was 13.
1955
01:18:46,893 --> 01:18:49,729
Back when Pride and Prejudice
was the most romantic book
1956
01:18:49,771 --> 01:18:52,774
I had ever read.
1957
01:18:52,816 --> 01:18:55,235
Since then, I have learned
so much more about Austen,
1958
01:18:55,276 --> 01:18:57,946
her world and the compromises
she had to make.
1959
01:18:59,739 --> 01:19:03,368
And it's still the most romantic
book I have ever read.
1960
01:19:04,703 --> 01:19:06,329
And that scares me.
1961
01:19:08,206 --> 01:19:09,374
I'm scared of emotion.
1962
01:19:10,917 --> 01:19:13,003
Scared of being swept away.
1963
01:19:13,044 --> 01:19:15,130
And I'm even scared of dancing.
1964
01:19:15,171 --> 01:19:17,382
Scared of looking like a fool,
1965
01:19:17,424 --> 01:19:19,843
and that's what can happen
on the dance floor, right?
1966
01:19:19,884 --> 01:19:22,887
Missing a step
and making a fool of yourself.
1967
01:19:22,929 --> 01:19:25,932
But if there's one thing
I learned this weekend,
1968
01:19:25,974 --> 01:19:28,184
one thing I've learned
from reading and re-reading
1969
01:19:28,226 --> 01:19:32,397
these books
that we all love so much...
1970
01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:36,234
it's that fools and heroines
are not separate categories.
1971
01:19:38,069 --> 01:19:41,156
You have to risk being one
in order to become the other.
1972
01:19:41,197 --> 01:19:43,199
So, as we proceed
to the dance floor,
1973
01:19:43,241 --> 01:19:46,870
there's someone here with
a place on my dance card.
1974
01:19:48,788 --> 01:19:50,206
If he wants it.
1975
01:19:52,834 --> 01:19:55,086
[scattered applause]
1976
01:19:57,672 --> 01:20:00,091
[hopeful music]
1977
01:20:01,718 --> 01:20:02,802
Eloise...
1978
01:20:02,844 --> 01:20:05,013
CRISPIN: Professor Cavendish!
1979
01:20:05,055 --> 01:20:08,725
I understand
congratulations are in order.
1980
01:20:08,767 --> 01:20:10,727
Victoria told me
about Princeton.
1981
01:20:10,769 --> 01:20:12,020
Couldn't be more deserved.
1982
01:20:12,062 --> 01:20:13,188
That's very kind of you.
1983
01:20:13,229 --> 01:20:15,231
I heard you were up
for the same job.
1984
01:20:15,273 --> 01:20:17,984
Me? [scoffs]
Whatever gave you that idea?
1985
01:20:18,026 --> 01:20:20,236
I'm wildly under-qualified.
1986
01:20:20,278 --> 01:20:22,697
But my aunt told me that you
were interviewing with her
1987
01:20:22,739 --> 01:20:23,990
at the conference.
1988
01:20:24,032 --> 01:20:26,910
I can't imagine
why she'd say that.
1989
01:20:26,951 --> 01:20:29,287
Unless she didn't want you
to know the real reason
1990
01:20:29,329 --> 01:20:31,539
we're spending
so much time together.
1991
01:20:31,581 --> 01:20:32,665
The real reason?
1992
01:20:32,707 --> 01:20:34,918
I'm retiring, Mr. Lee.
1993
01:20:34,959 --> 01:20:37,212
It's high time I think about
more important things
1994
01:20:37,253 --> 01:20:39,464
than career.
1995
01:20:39,506 --> 01:20:41,216
More important things like...
1996
01:20:41,257 --> 01:20:43,051
Aunt Victoria?
1997
01:20:43,093 --> 01:20:45,470
We were
post-doctorate sweethearts.
1998
01:20:45,512 --> 01:20:47,389
Can you believe it?
1999
01:20:47,430 --> 01:20:49,766
But I'd already been bitten
by the acting bug,
2000
01:20:49,808 --> 01:20:52,477
so I left academia, and her.
2001
01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:55,855
I was an idiot.
2002
01:20:56,981 --> 01:20:58,566
Luckily, she's very forgiving.
2003
01:21:00,402 --> 01:21:01,695
[clears throat]

are done listening to me snivel.
2008

Go, dance!
2009
01:21:14,374 --> 01:21:15,500
Excuse me.
2010
01:21:15,542 --> 01:21:17,794
Victoria...
2011
01:21:17,836 --> 01:21:20,463
Victoria, might I reserve
your first Maggot?
2012
01:21:20,505 --> 01:21:21,506
VICTORIA: Of course!
2013
01:21:22,716 --> 01:21:24,551
Huh.

He didn't even apply.
2015
01:21:27,095 --> 01:21:29,097
I've just spent the last
few days trying to separate
2016
01:21:29,139 --> 01:21:32,517
my aunt from her one true love.
2017
01:21:32,559 --> 01:21:34,936

a few lessons this weekend,

of this dance again,

give you that satisfaction

While dancing, yes.

Turns out that some women
can't be charmed.

Some women can only be won
