:00:02
Still, a girl likes to be
crossed in love now and then.
:00:07
It gives her something to think of
:00:09
and a sort of distinction
amongst her companions.
:00:12
- I'm sure that will cheer her up, Papa.
- It's your turn now, Lizzie.
:00:16
You've turned down Collins.
:00:18
You're free to go off
and be jilted yourself.
:00:22
What about Mr Wickham?
:00:24
He's a pleasant fellow
and he'd do the job credibly.
:00:27
- Father...
- And you have an affectionate mother
:00:31
who would make the most of it.
:00:53
- Charlotte!
- My dear Lizzie.
:00:55
I've come her to tell you the news.
Mr Collins and I are... engaged.
:01:00
- Engaged?
- Yes.
:01:07
- To be married?
- What other kind of engaged is there?
:01:13
For heaven's sake, Lizzie,
don't look at me like that.
:01:16
I should be
as happy with him as any other.
:01:20
- But he's ridiculous.
- Oh, hush.
:01:22
Not all of us can afford to be romantic.
:01:26
I've been offered
a comfortable home and protection.
:01:30
There's a lot to be thankful for.
:01:32
I'm 27 years old.
I've no money and no prospects.
:01:37
I'm already a burden to my parents.
:01:41
And I'm frightened.
:01:43
So dont judge me, Lizzie.
Don't you dare judge me.
