Mr Collins, I am perfectly serious. You could not make me happy and Thank you, papa.
I'm convinced I'm the last woman in the world who could make you
happy. Mrs Bennet looks very dissapointed

MR COLLINS INT. LONGBOURN - ROOM

So I must conclude that you simply seeknto increase my love by
suspense, according to the usual practice of elegant female- JANE
(reading letter) "Mr Darcy is impatient to see his sister and we are
scarcely less eager to meet her again. I really do not think Georgina
Darcy has her equal for beauty, elegance and accomplishments, so much
so I must hope to here after call her my sister. It is my duty to
indulge you in no hope in this respect for your own self."
ELIZABETH
Miss Bingley sees that her brother is in love with you and is gone
with him to persuade him otherwise.
JANE
But I know her to be incapable of wilfully deceiving anyone.
ELIZABETH
He loves you, Jane. Do not give up. Go to
our aunt and uncle's in London. There’s a chance you may see him there
EXT. ROSING PARK - PROPOSAL
ELIZABETH
After proposing to me, Mr Collins ask Charlotte to be his companion,
which she accepts, not for romance but for her to have her own home.
Charlotte invited me to her new home here in Hunsford, She told me
that she’s in a excellent condition being with Mr. Collins. And Mr.
Darcy, it turns out he’s the one who tried to seperate Jane and Mr.
Bingley. Saying that my sister is “unsuitable” for him!
Elizabeth is walking around the park when she sees Mr. Darcy walking
towards her.
DARCY
Miss Bennet, I can bear it no longer. I will set aside ,my family's
expectation, my rank and circumstance, all those things I love you.
Most ardently. Please do me the honour of accepting my hand.
ELIZABETH
Sir, I am very sorry to have caused you pain. Believe me, it was
unconsciously done.
DARCY
Are you rejecting me?
ELIZABETH
Think of it Mr Darcy, How can I accept your proposal when you were the
one who seperated my sister and Mr. Bingley!
DARCY
I do not deny that. I did it because I think Charles is more attached
to her than your sister is to him.
ELIZABETH
That’s because she’s shy! She hardly even show her real emotions to
me. Maybe it has something to do with the with his fortune.
Darcy
No, it has nothing to do with this. It’s the matter with your family.
It is the lack of propriety shown by your three sisters, yur mother
and sometimes, your father.
ELIZABETH
How about Mr. Wickham? What other excuses can you make about what you
did to him? All those misfortunes!
DARCY
Oh yes, his misfortunes have been very great indeed!
ELIZABETH
You have ruined his chances, and yet treat him with sarcasm?
DARCY
So this is your opinion of me! Thank you for explaining so fully.
Perhaps these offences might have been overlooked, if your pride had
not been hurt.
ELIZABETH
And those are the words of a gentleman? From the first moment I met
you, your arrogance, your selfishness, made me realize that you were
the last man in the world I would marry.
DARCY
Forgive me, madam, for taking up so much of your time.
INT. HUNSFORD
Elizabeth standing, staring at a blank space. Darcy then arrives to
give a letter.

After Darcy dissapears, Elizabeth then read the letter Idea… Goodbye Mr. Darcy

ELIZABETH INT. LONGBOURN

“As I said yesterday, it was right that I tried to seperate My friend
and your sister because if your family. And about Wickham, my father
provided for Mr. Wickham. And when he died, I recompensed him 3000
pounds, so that he could study law, but he gambled them all away. When
he asked for more i simply refused after learning about what he did.
Last summer, Mr Wickham came to announce her love for my sister,
Georgina, which is to inherit thirty thousand pounds. When I told him
he’s going to get a dime when he marries her, he left her. She was
fifteen. As we shall never meet again, I wish you happiness in the
future”
INT. PEMBERLY
MRS. BENNET
Why did the Foresters let her out of their sight?
what am I going to do. Lydia has eloped with Mr. Wickham and they’re
nowhere to be found.
KITTY
A message has arrived! It is adressed to Papa, in Uncle’s writing
MR. BENNET
(getting the glasses) They found them, and they will marry if I agreed
to settle a hundred pounds a year for them.

ELIZABETH
Uncle and Aunt Gardiner arrived on Longbourn, and they invited me to
go with them to breathe in some fresh air. We were on our way to the
Lake District but they instead restricted our trip Derbyshire. I only
agreed because they said Mr. Darcy is away and… I’m also curious.
Only though it turns out, he’s actually here with her sister,
Georgina.
Elizabeth wanders aimlessly across, drawn by the music. She follows
the music round a corner. She sees Georgina Darcy, a beautiful fifteen
year old playing the piano with great passion and fluency. She is
moved by the music and listens. Darcy is beside Georgina
Elizabeth is stunned to see him there. Darcy glances up and sees
Elizabeth watching him. For a moment they both stare at each other
frozen with surprise. Elizabeth turns and runs. Darcy comes out after
her.
ELIZABETH
And you are going to agree with this?
MR. BENNET
Of course I will. But there’s no man would marry Lydia for a hundred
pounds a year. I see, your uncle is very generous. Wickham's a fool if
he takes her for less than ten thousand pounds. I should be sorry to
think so ill of him in the very - beginning of our relationship.
JANE
Ten thousand!? Heaven forbid!
MRS BENNET
Lydia married! And at sixteen too! Ring the bell, Kitty! tell the
servants they will have a bowl of punch!

DARCY ELIZABETH
Ms Bennet! We should thank our uncle, Mama.

ELIZABETH MRS BENNET

I thought you were in London, And so he should help! He's much richer than us, and he hasn't got any
children.
DARCY
I’m not, I came here a day early ELIZABETH
How can you talk like that?
ELIZABETH
MRS BENNET How very glad we are to see you, Mr Bingley! There are a great many
A daughter, married! changes since you went away.One of my own daughters is married.

ELIZABETH BINGLEY
Is that all you think about? (SMILES)I did hear of it, and offer my
congratulations.
MRS BENNET
“Mrs Wickham" - how well it sounds ELIZABETH
Do you hope to stay long in the country Mr Bingley?
INT. LONGBOURN
BINGLEY
ELIZABETH Just a few weeks. For the shooting.
All it turns out, Uncle Gardiner was not the one who payed Mr. Wickham
to marry Lydia. It was Mr. Darcy all along. Lydia has told me this and ELIZABETH
told me not to tell anyone about it. How are you, Mr Darcy?

Lizzie goes to Mrs. Bennet and others DARCY

Quite well, thank you.
ELIZABETH
Have you heard the news, Mr Bingley is coming back to Netherfield MRS BENNET
My Jane looks well, does she not?

She does indeed. Well uhhm I know this is embarassing but, can I have

Oh my goodness! Everybody act naturally.

He’s with someone… Is that Mr Darcy?
BINGLEY
MRS BENNET Miss Bennet,I would like to ask you -
Mr Darcy indeed! The very insolence of him. What does he think of
coming here? JANE
YES! A hundred times yes!
JANE
Ma!

MRS BENNET Thank the Lord for that. I thought it would never happen.
Everyone sit down! Act naturally!

LIZZIE
Mr. Darcy came here to speak to papa.

Lizzie talks to Mr Bennet

MR. BENNET
Are you sure Lizzie? I thought you hated him? He sure is rich, but
does marrying him will make you happy? We know him as this proud and
unpleasent man but it does not matter if you really like him.

I sure do like him!I love him! He's not proud. It's I who's been
prejudiced, who didn't realize. If I told you what he's really like.
