FINAL SCRIPT Never, sir. SIR WILLIAM Do you not think it would be a proper compliment to the place? MR. DARCY It is a complement which I never pay to any place if I can avoid it. (Pause) LADY LUCAS How do you find Netherfield, Mr. Darcy? MR. DARCY Mr. Bingley is pleased with the situation of Netherfield. (The dance ends. The couples disperse. Darcy goes to join Mr. Bingley.) MR. BINGLEY Upon my word I've never seen so many pretty girls in my life. MR. DARCY You are dancing with the only handsome girl in the room. BINGLEY Oh, she is the most beautiful creature I ever beheld, but her sister Elizabeth is very agreeable. (They have stopped at the edge of the dance floor but have not seen Elizabeth and Charlotte.) DARCY Perfectly tolerable, I dare say, but not handsome enough to tempt me. You had better return to your partner and enjoy her smiles, for you are wasting your time with me. (Bingley goes off. Caroline takes Darcy’s arm and leads him to another part of the room.) CAROLINE I have rarely seen a collection of people in whom there was so little beauty. LADY LUCAS Mr. Darcy is proud. MARY Most forbidding. LADY LUCAS Disagreeable. MRS. BENNET Unworthy to be compared with Mr. Bingley CHARLOTTE One cannot wonder that so very fine a young man, with family, fortune, everything in his favor, should think highly of himself. If I may so express it, he has a right to be proud. ELIZABETH I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine. MARY Pride is a very common failing, I believe. By all that I have ever read, I am convinced that it is very common indeed; that human nature is particularly prone to it, and that there are very few of us who do not cherish a feeling of self-complacency on the score of some quality or other, real or imaginary. CHARLOTTE You do not lose much by not suiting his fancy, Eliza, for he is a most disagreeable man, not at all worth pleasing. ELIZABETH I believe I may safely promise you never to dance with him. (SCENE CHANGE #1-2) SCENE 3 - ENROUTE TO LONGBOURN – Night - same (The Family is walking back from the ball.) 4
FINAL SCRIPT JANE Mr. Bingley is just what a young man ought to be, sensible, good-humored, lively; and I never saw such happy manners, so much ease, with such perfect good breeding! ELIZABETH He is also handsome, which a young man ought likewise to be, if he possibly can. JANE I was very much flattered by his asking me to dance a second time. I did not expect such a compliment. ELIZABETH But that is one great difference between us. Compliments always take you by surprise, and me never. He could not help seeing that you were about five times as pretty as every other woman in the room. I give you leave to like him. You have liked many a stupider person. JANE Dear Lizzy! ELIZABETH I never heard you speak ill of a human being in your life. JANE I would not wish to be hasty in censuring anyone; but I always speak what I think. ELIZABETH I know you do; and it is that which makes the wonder. Do you like this man's sisters, too? Their manners are not equal to his. JANE Certainly not—at first. But they are very pleasing women when you converse with them. Miss Bingley is to live with her brother, and keep his house; and I am much mistaken if we shall not find a very charming neighbor in her. ELIZABETH I am not so convinced. But, as you say, Mr. Bingley is just what a young man ought to be. (The Bennet women enter Longbourn.) MRS. BENNET Oh! My dear Mr. Bennet, we had a most delightful evening, a most excellent ball. I wish you had been there. Jane was so admired. Everybody said how well she looked; and Mr. Bingley thought her quite beautiful, and danced with her twice! And she was the only creature in the room that he asked a second time. First of all, he asked Miss Lucas. I was so vexed to see him stand up with her! However, he did not admire her at all; He seemed quite struck with Jane as she was going down the dance. So he inquired who she was, and got introduced, and asked her for the two next. Then the two fourth with Maria Lucas, and the two fifth with Jane again, and the two sixth with Lizzy, and the Boulanger... MR. BENNET If he had had any compassion for me, he would not have danced half so much! For God's sake, say no more of his partners. O, that he had sprained his ankle in the first dance! MRS. BENNET Oh! My dear, I am quite delighted with him. He is so excessively handsome! And his sisters are charming women. I never in my life saw anything more elegant than their dresses. I dare say the lace upon Mrs. Hurst's gown— MR. BENNET I protest against any de<strong>script</strong>ion of finery. MARY Mr. Darcy is not so well worth listening to as his friend, Mr. Bingley, is he? Poor Lizzy, to be 5
