You don't like me do you Miss Bennet? That is an understatement Mr. 03:46.620 --> 03:52.420 Darcy. I'm very sorry for there is something that seems to draw me to you. 03:52.420 --> 03:58.780 The room was suddenly empty when you walked out of it, or perhaps it was my 03:58.780 --> 04:06.860 heart. Why do you dislike me? Mr. Darcy I couldn't begin to tell you. Well then I 04:06.860 --> 04:11.300 certainly won't force myself upon you any longer. Good evening Miss Bennet. Good 04:11.300 --> 04:24.380 evening Mr. Darcy. 04:24.380 --> 04:29.980 Well Darcy why are you walking up and down so late out here? It's almost three 04:29.980 --> 04:35.980 in the morning. Why are you walking up and down so late Bingley? I think I'm sure. 04:35.980 --> 04:43.060 Yes? I have a suspicion. Darcy don't you think Miss Jane Bennet is a truly 04:43.060 --> 04:49.420 remarkable girl? Yes but I haven't been keeping myself awake over that. I've been 04:49.420 --> 04:52.900 thinking what a remarkable girl Miss Elizabeth Bennet is. I thought you didn't 04:52.900 --> 05:06.980 like her. I don't but I seem to have become a little mixed up in my emotions. 05:06.980 --> 05:16.820 We rarely should go to bed. I know Jane but the moonlight is so bright. Oh Elizabeth don't you think Mr. Bingley is very handsome? 05:16.820 --> 05:23.660 Very and extremely clever. Extremely and delightfully charming. Delightfully. Elizabeth you 05:23.660 --> 05:28.460 aren't really listening to me at all. What are you thinking of? How much I dislike 05:28.460 --> 05:35.140 Mr. Darcy. 05:35.140 --> 05:40.740 Now while Jane and Bingley were busy dreaming about one another and while 05:40.740 --> 05:44.900 Darcy was dreaming about Elizabeth and Elizabeth was thinking about how much he 05:44.900 --> 05:50.220 disliked him. Mrs. Bennet was busy settling the lives of all three of them. 05:50.220 --> 05:58.340 Oh Mrs. Bennet will you please come to bed? You make me so nervous charging up 05:58.340 --> 06:02.980 and down the room that I can't close my eyes. Well Mr. Bennet if you don't care 06:02.980 --> 06:07.060 anything about the future of your daughters I do. I've got to get them 06:07.060 --> 06:12.460 married and settled. Good heavens I have five on my hands and practically no one I 06:12.460 --> 06:16.820 know has more than two to worry about. Mrs. Bennet why not leave that in the hands of 06:16.820 --> 06:21.780 Providence for tonight. There's really very small chance if you're getting them 06:21.780 --> 06:27.020 married at three in the morning. Jane of course will marry Mr. Bingley. Now Elizabeth 06:27.020 --> 06:34.060 I think Elizabeth must marry Mr. Collins. Mr. Collins is that unpleasant cousin of mine? 06:34.060 --> 06:37.700 Mr. Collins told me Monday when he arrived for his visit that he wishes to 06:37.700 --> 06:44.820 marry and take a wife back with him. I think that may as well be Elizabeth. Elizabeth isn't in love with Mr. Collins. 06:44.820 --> 06:54.820 She's in love? I can't wait around for her to fall in love. No sir. Mr. Collins will have your permission to speak to her tomorrow and she will accept him. 06:54.820 --> 07:15.140 All right. May I go to sleep now Mrs. Bennet? Yes Mr. Bennet you may. 07:15.140 --> 07:22.180 Miss Elizabeth will you sit by the window please. Yes of course Mr. Collins but why? 07:22.180 --> 07:27.380 Miss Elizabeth permit me to tell you that I have your mother's permission for 07:27.380 --> 07:34.500 this address. First I think that every clergyman in easy circumstances should 07:34.500 --> 07:40.060 set an example in matrimony to his parish. Secondly I think it will add 07:40.060 --> 07:46.420 greatly to my own happiness and third it is the wish of my patroness and esteemed 07:46.420 --> 07:51.780 friend Lady Catherine de Brogne. She is prepared to think well of you. Mr. 07:51.780 --> 07:56.740 Collins please I thank you for the compliment you are paying me but I must 07:56.740 --> 08:01.620 decline it. I am prepared to be refused at first. I shall not let it upset me. I 08:01.620 --> 08:07.760 shall ask you again. You see Lady de Brogne is most anxious to see me settled 08:07.760 --> 08:14.180 and to see her own daughter settled with Mr. Darcy. Mr. Darcy? They have been engaged 08:14.180 --> 08:18.200 since they were born. Lady Catherine and Mr. Darcy's mother made all the 08:18.200 --> 08:23.100 arrangements. Young Lady Catherine is very beautiful you know although a trifle on 08:23.100 --> 08:30.740 the slender side for my own taste. I wish her great joy. You look unhappy about 08:30.740 --> 08:37.900 something. Have you become well acquainted with Mr. Darcy? No no I 08:37.900 --> 08:43.780 haven't and I'm sure I never shall. He is the most impossible, vain, egotistical, 08:43.780 --> 08:48.580 unpleasant, ill-mannered man it has ever been my bad fortune to meet. I am very 08:48.580 --> 08:56.340 sorry Miss Elizabeth. Sorry about what? That you are so fond of Mr. Darcy. Mr. 08:56.340 --> 09:01.820 Collins. I'm sorry I didn't mention Mr. Darcy sooner. I would have known then why 09:01.820 --> 09:16.740 there is little hope for me. 09:16.740 --> 09:22.100 Mr. Bennett you will kindly speak to your daughter Elizabeth immediately. What has 09:22.100 --> 09:26.940 she done Mrs. Bennett? I just refused Mr. Collins for part. I am not speaking to 09:26.940 --> 09:30.420 Elizabeth at the moment Mr. Bennett but I expect you to inform her that you 09:30.420 --> 09:36.660 insist upon her marrying him. Well Elizabeth an unhappy alternative seems 09:36.660 --> 09:43.140 to be before you. From this day you must be a stranger to one of your parents. Your 09:43.140 --> 09:48.700 mother will never speak to you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins and I will 09:48.700 --> 09:54.540 never speak to you again if you do. Mr. Bennett this is the closest insubordination. Yes Mrs. 09:54.540 --> 09:59.220 Bennett. Elizabeth do you want to be an old maid? I would just as soon as marry 09:59.220 --> 10:03.540 someone I didn't love. Oh as far back as I can remember there has never been an old 10:03.540 --> 10:09.460 maiden either your father's family or mine. Oh I'm going to be upset. Oh you 10:09.460 --> 10:13.940 don't really want to upset me do you Elizabeth? No mama but I don't want to 10:13.940 --> 10:19.620 marry Mr. Collins either and of the two having you stop speaking to me would be 10:19.620 --> 10:27.260 the lesser disappointment. Oh I am hurt deeply Elizabeth deeply and gravely. I'm very sorry mama. 10:27.260 --> 10:36.180 Please excuse me. Oh dear oh me. Girls nowadays are searching down as obedient as they used to be. 10:36.180 --> 10:42.620 That may be just as well Mrs. Bennett. Oh well at least Jane is not defying me. 10:42.620 --> 11:00.940 Jane will marry Mr. Bingley and then I will only have four girls to worry about. 11:00.940 --> 11:07.820 Miss Bennett. Oh Miss Bennett. Mr. Darcy. We we seem to be walking in the same 11:07.820 --> 11:12.420 direction. I can change my direction. Oh no I'll change my direction. I wouldn't 11:12.420 --> 11:19.420 think of spoiling your walk. Just as you wish Mr. Darcy. This this seems as good a 11:19.420 --> 11:26.500 time as any to say goodbye I suppose. Goodbye? I thought you and Mr. Bingley 11:26.500 --> 11:31.460 were going to be here all winter. We had a change of plans. My sister's not been 11:31.460 --> 11:35.580 well and I'm taking her to Italy. Bingley's coming along with us. Oh. There's 11:35.580 --> 11:40.740 been an understanding between them for some time. You follow me don't you? 11:40.740 --> 11:45.340 Perfectly Mr. Darcy. Yes I think they'll be getting married in the spring as soon 11:45.340 --> 11:49.780 as it can be managed. When two people are in love there's little good in waiting. 11:49.780 --> 11:54.140 Of course not. Especially if one of the people seems to be falling in love with 11:54.140 --> 12:00.220 someone else. Yes you do follow me. If you'll forgive my saying so Miss Bennett 12:00.220 --> 12:05.060 you have a designing mother and my sister's happiness is at stake. It 12:05.060 --> 12:09.140 doesn't matter to you of course but my sister Jane's happiness is at stake too. 12:09.140 --> 12:12.500 I should be very sorry if this causes a pain but after all she and Bingley 12:12.500 --> 12:15.260 haven't been acquainted very long. What right have you to interfere in other 12:15.260 --> 12:19.060 people's lives? Why should you persuade Mr. Bingley to leave when he and Jane 12:19.060 --> 12:22.180 think so much of one another? Miss Bennett if I thought your sister and 12:22.180 --> 12:25.500 Bingley could be happy I'd do everything in my power to keep them together. Why 12:25.500 --> 12:28.660 don't you just mind your own business? Because I'm not going to see a friend of 12:28.660 --> 12:32.500 mine taken in by a scheming woman. Your mother and sister have set out to trick 12:32.500 --> 12:36.300 Bingley into marriage by fair means or foul and they're not going to get away 12:36.300 --> 12:45.540 with it. So now good day Miss Bennett. Good day and goodbye. I'm sorry that we 12:45.540 --> 12:50.060 were never able to get along because I think that you were a fine and beautiful 12:50.060 --> 12:54.900 woman. Whatever I think is the design of your mother and sister. Do you think I 12:54.900 --> 13:00.940 care what you think of me? No I entertain no such hopes Miss Bennett. If I ever had 13:00.940 --> 13:06.060 any little conceit you've long since destroyed them. Goodbye Mr. Darcy. I hope 13:06.060 --> 13:11.340 you'll be very happy in Italy. If it's any consolation to you I won't. You see I 13:11.340 --> 13:17.580 haven't escaped entirely unscathed in this fray. I have a few wounds to lick 13:17.580 --> 13:23.100 myself. Goodbye Miss Bennett. 13:23.100 --> 13:30.100 Miss Bennett will you kindly stop that infernal noise? My poor Jane, my poor broken hearted baby. 13:30.100 --> 13:39.100 How could any man be so cruel and black hearted? How could any man go on without a word of farewell after all the attentions he showed her? 13:39.100 --> 13:56.100 Mama please you're keeping everyone in the house away. How can you be so callous Elizabeth Bennett? Don't you care that your sister has a broken heart? Of course I do Mama but I think it would be so much better for her and for you and all the rest of us if you would go to sleep. 13:56.100 --> 14:12.100 Thank you Elizabeth. When I think of how that man is treated and going off without even saying goodbye. He sent a note to you Mama and thank you for all your courtesies to him. A note? When I think how I felt when I read that note. 14:12.100 --> 14:29.100 Oh eternal perdition. Please stop crying about me I'm all right. My baby my poor broken hearted baby. Mama I don't want to hear any more of this it's humiliating and very upsetting. I'd appreciate it if you never mentioned Mr Bingley's name to me again. Oh I'm sorry. 14:29.100 --> 14:46.100 Come on Elizabeth let's go back to our room. Goodnight Papa Mama. Goodnight girl. Goodnight Papa. Oh Mr. Bennett now I've got to snob from scratch again. I've got five daughters and not one husband in sight. Oh. 14:46.100 --> 15:03.100 Oh I declare I could just cry I'm that disappointed. 15:16.100 --> 15:33.100 Please Elizabeth don't hum that song. Oh Jane I'm sorry my dear. That's one of Mr Bingley's favorite songs. Oh Elizabeth you don't know what it's like you've never been in love. 15:33.100 --> 15:49.100 But it hurts so much you want to die and yet you know you won't die but you'll go on living with the hurt and when the hurt finally goes you'll be completely empty. Empty? The room was suddenly empty when you walked out. 15:49.100 --> 16:04.100 Or perhaps it was my heart. What are you talking about? Someone said that to me once. You never told me someone you loved. Someone I might have loved. I know who Elizabeth I guessed. 16:04.100 --> 16:20.100 I'm sorry I said that it was selfish of me. You know far more about how love can hurt than I. I at least had a few weeks of happiness. I did not say I was in love. I only said I might have been if I didn't despise himself. 16:20.100 --> 16:47.100 Don't be too proud Elizabeth. Pride is such a lonely thing when you choose it in place of love. Pride is all I have. All I've been offered and all I want. Good night Jane I'm very sleepy. Good night Elizabeth. 16:47.100 --> 17:05.100 Elizabeth my dear that nice Mr. Darcy is in the parlor. He's come to call on you. Mr. Darcy to call on me? That's right. Hurry along dear. No no wait a minute. Let me straighten your hair. Oh my God. Run along now. Run along. 17:05.100 --> 17:25.100 Well Mr. Darcy this is a surprise. Good afternoon Miss Bennet. You're looking thin and not a bit well. Didn't Italy agree with you? Not too much no. Miss Bennet there's something I must tell you. Yes? 17:25.100 --> 17:44.100 And it's not at all easy since you've gone to so much pains to let me see how distasteful I am to you. But I love you and I have to tell you. Have you lost your mind? No only my heart. 17:44.100 --> 18:00.100 You've ruined my sister's life and then you have the impertinence to stand there and tell me that you love me. I do love you with all my heart. And with all my heart I wish that you loved me too. Elizabeth will you marry me? 18:00.100 --> 18:13.100 I offer you a name of some honor to many generations security and comfort and my great devotion. You surely cannot think that I will accept you. Even you could not have that much conceit. 18:13.100 --> 18:30.100 I hope you might accept me. Let's put it that way. Mr. Darcy I've never asked your good opinion or your love and I'm amazed that you have chosen to bestow them upon me. I assure you that I would marry anyone in the world before I would marry you. 18:30.100 --> 18:44.100 Miss Bennett, don't think that you can make me ashamed of my love because that's above reproach and the best that's in me to offer a woman. But I am ashamed of the object of my love. 18:44.100 --> 19:01.100 I thought that I was kneeling at your feet when I asked you to marry me. Now I see I was only stooping a little. Thank you for refusing me. Forgive me for taking up so much of your time and accept my best wishes for your health and happiness. 19:14.100 --> 19:24.100 What's wrong my dear? 19:24.100 --> 19:44.100 Oh, it's Lydia, our daughter Lydia. She ran off with a soldier. Look at this note. Oh my baby, my poor baby married without her mother there. Oh God bless her. Oh, Mr. Bennett, he will marry her won't he? No soldier would be so low as to run off with a young lady and not marry her, would he? 19:44.100 --> 20:00.100 What do you think Mrs. Bennett? Oh Mr. Bennett, oh Elizabeth, oh what am I to do? This will ruin us all. We'll never get any husbands. You have all the law allows my dear. Aren't you going to get your horse whip and go after that man Mr. Bennett? 20:00.100 --> 20:21.100 Yes, Madam, I am as soon as I can get dressed. Someone should have warned me what marriage can lead to. I might have avoided all this 30 years ago. Oh Mr. Bennett. Madam, be silent. If Lydia isn't married now, she will be very soon. I'll see to that. 20:30.100 --> 20:49.100 Mr. Parr. Yes Elizabeth. I want to talk to you. What is it Elizabeth? When you went up to London and got Lydia married, just how did you manage it? Oh, it was very simple my dear. Lydia said you gave them a thousand pounds. Where did you get the thousand pounds, Mr. Parr? 20:49.100 --> 21:17.100 From Mr. Darcy Elizabeth. Mr. Darcy? Yes my dear, he came to see me. He heard about Lydia and he said the only way to straighten things out was to give them some money to get them started. You shouldn't have accepted any money from Mr. Darcy. He's not a friend of ours, Mr. Parr. Not a friend? No. He's a friend indeed. And a friend indeed? If that isn't a friend, I don't know what is. I wanted to give them the money at once but my solicitors couldn't be reached. Mr. Darcy kindly lent me the money. 21:17.100 --> 21:44.100 I paid him back the next morning. If only it hadn't been Mr. Darcy. Elizabeth my dear, are you in love with Mr. Darcy? Why does everyone keep asking me if I'm in love with that man? Because maybe you have so many symptoms. It takes more than symptoms to make a case of anything. I'm not in love with him and no matter what he does for this family, I'm not going to be in love with him. 21:44.100 --> 21:58.100 All right Elizabeth. All right. 21:58.100 --> 22:03.100 Miss Bennet, I am Lady Catherine de Brogues. 22:03.100 --> 22:06.100 This is quite an honor Lady Catherine that you should call on me. 22:06.100 --> 22:13.100 Yes it is. I've come to talk to you about my nephew Mr. Darcy who is going to marry my daughter. 22:13.100 --> 22:17.100 Indeed. Please congratulate them both for me. 22:17.100 --> 22:19.100 Don't be impudent. 22:19.100 --> 22:21.100 But I thought I was being polite. 22:21.100 --> 22:39.100 You were being sarcastic and therefore rude and impudent. Miss Bennet, I will be my usual franksail. I've heard rumors that you and my nephew were to be married which I knew must be a scandalous falsehood and I want the report universally contradicted. 22:39.100 --> 22:43.100 Your coming here is likely to appear a confirmation rather than a contradiction. 22:43.100 --> 22:54.100 I am not going to have my plans upset by a young woman without family connections or fortune. I wish to know once and for all. Are you engaged to Mr. Darcy? 22:54.100 --> 22:56.100 I am not. 22:56.100 --> 23:01.100 Ah. Will you promise me never to enter into such an engagement? 23:01.100 --> 23:03.100 I will not. 23:03.100 --> 23:07.100 You are then resolved to have him. 23:07.100 --> 23:21.100 I did not say that. Lady Catherine, you're not going to order me about. My life is my own to plan as I see fit. I've managed to live a good many years without any help or interference from you and I intend to go on that way. 23:21.100 --> 23:33.100 Miss Bennet, I am leaving. But I take no leave of you and I send no compliments to your mother. I'm seriously displeased. 23:33.100 --> 23:35.100 I understand Lady Catherine. 23:35.100 --> 23:40.100 Miss Bennet? 23:40.100 --> 23:45.100 Elizabeth! Elizabeth, darling, Mr. Bingley and I have something to tell you. We wanted you to be the first to know. 23:45.100 --> 23:49.100 Mr. Bingley, how do you do? I didn't dream you were in this part of the country. 23:49.100 --> 23:52.100 I only returned this morning. Will you tell her, Jane? 23:52.100 --> 23:53.100 Well. 23:52.100 --> 23:53.100 Or shall I? 23:53.100 --> 23:58.100 You don't have to tell me anything. It's written all over your faces. I congratulate you both. 23:58.100 --> 24:04.100 When I think I wouldn't have known that Jane cared if it hadn't been for Mr. Darcy, I still get shaky. 24:04.100 --> 24:05.100 Mr. Darcy? 24:05.100 --> 24:14.100 Of course. He spent all those months in Italy telling me about Jane. I only left, you know, because I couldn't believe she cared and I wanted to try and get over her. 24:14.100 --> 24:21.100 But Darcy kept after me week in, week out, saying, where's your courage? At least go and ask her. 24:21.100 --> 24:24.100 We owe Mr. Darcy a great deal, Elizabeth. 24:24.100 --> 24:26.100 Yes. So it would seem. 24:26.100 --> 24:32.100 Elizabeth, he's down at the gypsy camp right now. Why don't you go down and see him? 24:32.100 --> 24:40.100 Yes. Oh yes, I must. Oh, I've been such a fool. I wonder if he'll ever forgive me. 24:52.100 --> 24:54.100 Mr. Darcy, I... 24:54.100 --> 24:56.100 I'm Miss Bennet. 24:56.100 --> 25:01.100 Oh, it seems I owe you some apologies and some gratitude. 25:01.100 --> 25:07.100 Oh, please don't speak of them. It isn't gratitude that I want from you. 25:07.100 --> 25:16.100 Elizabeth, my Aunt Catherine tells me that she came to see you and that you refused to promise not to marry me. 25:16.100 --> 25:25.100 It was shameless of me, I'm afraid. But you see, I hoped you might ask me again, and I didn't want to be bound by promises. 25:25.100 --> 25:30.100 And if I did ask you again, what would my answer be this time? 25:30.100 --> 25:32.100 Surely I don't have to tell you that. 25:32.100 --> 25:38.100 Well, you've told me so many unpleasant things. It would be nice to hear something more to my liking. 25:38.100 --> 25:47.100 Why then, Mr. Darcy, if you did ask me again, I would say thank you so much. I'll try very hard to make you happy. 25:47.100 --> 25:48.100 Oh, Miss Bennet. 25:48.100 --> 25:55.100 And I would say I've loved you from the first moment, but I found it very difficult to say so. 25:55.100 --> 26:02.100 And I would say I am yours now, whether you want me or not, completely and forever. 26:02.100 --> 26:06.100 Oh, my darling, my darling, I've waited so long. 26:06.100 --> 26:14.100 I know. We got all mixed up in a porridge of pride and prejudice. But it will be beautiful now, my darling. 26:14.100 --> 26:23.100 Yes, it had to end this way. We were for each other from the beginning of time, and always will be, until the end of time. 26:23.100 --> 26:28.100 I love you, Mr. Darcy, very, very dearly. 26:47.100 --> 26:49.100 Oh, Mr. Bennet. 26:49.100 --> 26:57.100 Oh, Mrs. Bennet, I am very sleepy. What are you crying about now? 26:57.100 --> 27:06.100 Lydia's married, and Jane and Elizabeth soon will be. And we have only two daughters left. 27:06.100 --> 27:11.100 They'll be married too, before we're turned around. 27:11.100 --> 27:23.100 Oh, Mr. Bennet, we're going to be so lonely all alone. Oh, I've lost my baby. 27:23.100 --> 27:27.100 Madam, you baffle me completely. 27:27.100 --> 27:31.100 That's because you've never been a mother, Mr. Bennet. 27:31.100 --> 27:41.100 Praise God I never shall. 27:46.100 --> 27:51.100 CBS has brought you romance, great love stories of today and yesterday. 27:51.100 --> 27:55.100 Tonight's adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice was written by Gene Holloway. 27:55.100 --> 27:58.100 The music was conducted by Charles Paul. 27:58.100 --> 28:02.100 Elizabeth was played by Naomi Campbell and Mr. Darcy by Eric Dressler. 28:02.100 --> 28:06.100 And the director was Albert Ward. 28:06.100 --> 28:28.100 Next week, America's greatest writer about young people and young love tells his most famous story on romance. 28:28.100 --> 28:34.100 The writer is Booth Tarkington, and the story is his immortal saga of Willie Baxter and the Girl from Out of Town. 28:34.100 --> 28:46.100 Seventeen.
