(Act 1:Scene 1) Mrs Bennett: Out with you, up with you, gogogogo this moment, for it is lent to a MR BINGLEY, a fellow of LARGE INCOME! And Mr. Bennett: HE! IS!…SINGLE!!!!

Mary coughs

(Act 1:Scene 1) Mrs Bennett: Lizzy is not a bit better than others-not half so handsome as Jane, nor so good humored as Lydia-

Lizzy: Thank you, Mamma.

Mrs Bennett: -though you will have your favorite!

Mamma

(Act 1:Scene 1) Mrs Bennett: And she is not so-so-tall as Mary.

Mary coughs in a revolting manner

(Act 1:Scene 1) Mr Bennett: They have none of them much to recommend, my dear.

Mrs. Bennett: Well we NEVER SHALL be rid of them if you will not visit even one VERY PROMISING gentleman who has practically fallen INTO OUR LAPS-

Mary coughs

(Act 1:Scene 1) Mrs Bennett: Stop that, Mary, you’ll tear my nerves to pieces!

I do not cough for my own amusement!

(Act 1:Scene 1) Jane: Pappa?

Mr. Bennett: I met the gentleman yesterday

Is he a scholar? Does he play?

(Act 1:Scene 1) Lizzy: Me? I am an ugly sharp tongued awkward little creature, but you are good and kind and above five times prettier than any other girl in the country. No no, you shall have to fall on Mr. Bingley’s sword, and be quick about it too- the clock is ticking for us old maids!

Lydia: Then why shouldn’t I catch him?

Or me!

(Act 1:Scene 2) Mrs Bennett: In line now girls- ATTEN-TION! Do stand straight, no man likes a hunchback and it does not-display-you-to-advantage-

Mary shock

(Act 1:Scene 2) Mrs. Bennett: Oh-God-Mary- maybe just… step back a little-

This dress itches

(Act 1:Scene 2) Mrs Bennett: And with you in full parade, I shall serve as vanguard. YOOHOO, MRS LONG-HOW IS YOUR BOY WITH THE SCROFULA-AND IS HE HERE TONIGHT?

Mary is rubbing against the wall in itchy desperation

AHHHHHH

(Act 1:Scene 2) Lizzy: What else is there to do? Charlotte!

Charlotte: Jane, Lizzy!

Little jump of Mary shock

(Act 1:Scene 2) Charlotte: Jane, Lizzy! Mary

(Still scratching herself) Nnngh

(Act 1:Scene 2) Mr. Bennett: My dear, we really should leave. Mary is worse than a terrier-

Rrrrrraghhh

(Act 1: Scene 3) Lizzy: Pappa, I may safely promise never to do so.

Mrs Bennett: Such a waste of ten thousand pounds!

PRIDE. Pride. Vanity and pride are different. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us. …PRIDE.

(Act 1:Scene 3) Mr Bennett: Matrimonial games are women’s purview, Elizabeth, and I had enough of them when my own round was lost. Leave me out of it.

We hear often of sickness from love; perhaps this a case of love from — cough, cough, cough — sickness

Mrs Bennett: Lydia—

Mamma.

(Act 1:Scene 6) Mrs Bennet: — oh, Mary—!

Lizzy: wha?

Lydia: Play yea or nay with me. Go gogogo
