Episode Quotes

Maria Lucas: Who's that girl dancing with Mr. Wickham?
Elizabeth Bennet: Her name is Mary King.
Charlotte Lucas: She's come to stay with her uncle in Meryton.
Maria Lucas: She's not very pretty, is she?
Charlotte Lucas: Beauty is not the only virtue, Maria. She has just inherited a fortune of ten thousand pounds, I understand.
Mrs. Gardiner: Now *that* is a definite virtue.
Elizabeth Bennet: You are mistaken, Mr. Darcy. The mode of your declaration merely spared me any concern I might have felt in refusing you, had you behaved in a more gentleman-like manner. You could not have made me the offer of your hand in any possible way that would have tempted me to accept it. From the very beginning your manners impressed me with the fullest belief of your arrogance, your conceit and your selfish disdain for the feelings of others. I had not known you a month before I felt you were the last man in the world whom I could ever marry!
Mr. Darcy: In vain have I struggled, it will not do. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.

Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (incorrectly regarded as a mistake): When Lizzy is outside the Collinses' house, they pan back to Charlotte at one point and you can faintly hear what sounds like a phone ringing, but it is actually a bird song; there are many such instances in the film.
  • Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): Just outside Longbourn, as Mrs. Bennet is walking her newly-arrived brother and his wife into the house, what she is saying does not match the movement of her mouth and is clearly dubbed.
  • Goof (revealing mistake): When Lizzy is playing the pianoforte at Rosings, the camera pans across the top of the piano, revealing that no hammers are striking the strings as she plays.
  • Goof (continuity error): Throughout the scene in which Darcy proposes to Lizzy in the Parsonage at Hunsford, the clock on the mantelpiece shows 17 minutes past 6.

Trivia

  • The green pelisse Lucy Scott (Charlotte Lucas) wears walking to dinner at Rosings is the same costume Sophia Myles (Susan Price) wears walking in Portsmouth in Mansfield Park, and Emilia Fox (Clara Copperfield) wears to the funeral in David Copperfield (1999) (TV)..
