FINAL SCRIPT CAROLINE What can he mean, Miss Bennett? ELIZABETH Our surest way of disappointing him will be to ask nothing about it. CAROLINE I require an explanation of your motives, Mr. Darcy. MR. DARCY You either choose this method of passing the evening because you are in each other's confidence, and have secret affairs to discuss, or because you are conscious that your figures appear to the greatest advantage in walking; if the first, I would be completely in your way, and if the second, I can admire you much better from here. CAROLINE Oh, shocking! How shall we punish him for such a speech? ELIZABETH Laugh at him. CAROLINE Mr. Darcy is not to be laughed at! MR. DARCY The wisest and the best of men may be rendered ridiculous by a person whose first object in life is a joke. ELIZABETH I hope I never ridicule what is wise and good. Follies and nonsense, whims and inconsistencies, do divert me, I own, and I laugh at them whenever I can. MR. DARCY It has been the study of my life to avoid those weaknesses, which often expose a strong understanding to ridicule. ELIZABETH Such as vanity and pride. MR. DARCY Yes, vanity is a weakness indeed. But pride—where there is a real superiority of mind, pride will be always under good regulation. LOUISA Your examination of Mr. Darcy is over, I presume, and pray what is the result? ELIZABETH I am perfectly convinced by it that Mr. Darcy has no defect. He owns it himself without disguise. MR. DARCY No, I have made no such pretension. I have faults enough, but they are not, I hope, of understanding. My temper I dare not vouch for. I cannot forget the follies and vices of others so soon as I ought, nor their offenses against myself. My good opinion, once lost, is lost forever. ELIZABETH That is a failing indeed! But you have chosen your fault well. I really cannot laugh at it. You are safe from me. MR. DARCY There is, I believe, in every disposition a natural defect, which not even the best education can overcome. ELIZABETH And your defect is to hate everybody. MR. DARCY 12
FINAL SCRIPT And yours is to willfully misunderstand them. SCENE 8 - DRAWING ROOM - NETHERFIELD – Next day – Thursday, November 14, 1811 (Mr. Bingley, Caroline, and Mr. Darcy are just finishing up breakfast.) ALFRED At Miss Elizabeth Bennet’s request, Mrs. Bennet has visited Miss Jane Bennet, sir, and she, with the rest of her daughters, would like an audience with you. MR. BINGLEY Thank you, Alfred. Show them in. (Mrs. Bennet, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty, Lydia enter.) Mrs. Bennet, I hope you have not found Miss Jane Bennet worse than you expected. MRS. BENNET Indeed I have, sir. She is a great deal too ill to be moved. Mr. Jones says we must not think of moving her. We must trespass a little longer on your kindness. MR. BINGLEY Removed! It must not be thought of. My sisters, I am sure, will not hear of her removal. CAROLINE You may depend upon it, Madam, that Miss Bennet will receive every possible attention while she remains with us. MRS. BENNET You have a sweet room here, Mr. Bingley, and a charming prospect over the gravel walk. I do not know a place in the country that is equal to Netherfield. You will not think of quitting it in a hurry, I hope, though you have but a short lease. MR. BINGLEY Whatever I do is done in a hurry, and therefore if I should resolve to quit Netherfield, I should probably be off in five minutes. At present, however, I consider myself as quite fixed here. MARY That is exactly what I should have supposed of you. MR. BINGLEY I wish I might take this for a compliment; but to be so easily seen through I am afraid is pitiful. ELIZABETH It does not follow that a deep, intricate character is more or less estimable than such a one as yours. MR. BINGLEY I did not know before that you were a studier of character. It must be an amusing study. ELIZABETH Intricate characters are the most amusing. They have at least that advantage. MR. DARCY The country can in general supply but a few subjects for such a study. In a country neighborhood you move in a very confined and unvarying society. MARY But people themselves alter so much, that there is always something new to be observed in them. MRS. BENNET Yes, indeed, I assure you there is quite as much of that going on in the country as in town. I cannot see that London has any great advantage over the country, for my part, except the shops and public places. The country is a vast deal pleasanter, is it not, Mr. Bingley? MR. BINGLEY When I am in the country I never wish to leave it; and when I am in town it is pretty much the same. They have each their advantages, and I can be equally happy in either. MRS. BENNET 13
