Quotes
-
Jane Bennet : I like Mr. Bingley better. Mr. Darcy is so...
Elizabeth Bennet : So supercilious. My goodness! He does have an air about him.
-
Mrs. Bennet : Mr. Bingley, we're all so delighted that you've taken Netherfield. Having it standing empty was a lost to the whole neighborhood. Like an oyster shell without an oyster in it.
Mr. Bingley : Well, here is the oyster, Madame. But, if I may be permitted to say so, it is you who have the pearl!
[looks at Jane]
Mrs. Bennet : Charming! Charming! Oh, ah, Jane dear, why don't you say something to Mr. Bingley?
Jane Bennet : Good evening, sir.
-
Caroline Bingley : You must come over to Netherfield one day. I should be so bored.
Jane Bennet : What?
Caroline Bingley : Oh, you know! We're new out here in the wilderness.
-
Mrs. Bennet : Oh! And, Jane, if Mr. Bingley should suggest a stroll before dinner, don't refuse. For instance, they just delightfully secluded walks in those shrubberies around that field.
Jane Bennet : Yes, Mama.
Elizabeth Bennet : [looking up at the storm clouds approaching] There won't be much strolling today, Mama.
Mrs. Bennet : Oh, dear me! I'm afraid you're right! Oh! And I had such hopes for those shrubberies!
-
Elizabeth Bennet : What does it matter where we go? As long as we go together!
Jane Bennet : Yes, Mama. We'll make a little world of our own.
Mr. Bennet : Yes! A Bennet Utopia, my dear! A domestic paradise, where nobody shall ever talk more than is strictly necessary.
