DARCY: Might I ask why, with so little endeavour at civility, I am thus repulsed
LIZZIE: (trembling with emotion) I might as well enquire why, with so evident a design of insulting me, you chose to tell me that you liked me against your better judgement If I was uncivil, that was some excuse -
DARCY: Believe me, I didn't mean
LIZZIE: But I have other reasons, you know I have!
DARCY: What reasons
LIZZIE: Do you think that anything might tempt me to accept the man who has ruined, perhaps for ever, the happiness of a most beloved sister
Silence Darcy looks as if he's been struck across the face
LIZZIE: (cont'd) Do you deny it, Mr Darcy That you've separated a young couple who loved each other, exposing your friend to the censure of the world for caprice, and my sister to its derision for disappointed hopes, and involving them both in misery of the acutest kind
DARCY: I do not deny it
LIZZIE: (blurts out) How could you do it
DARCY: Because I believed your sister indifferent to him
LIZZIE: Indifferent
DARCY: I watched them most carefully, and realized his attachment was much deeper than hers
LIZZIE: That's because she's shy!
DARCY: Bingley too is modest, and was persuaded that she didn't feel strongly for him
LIZZIE: Because you suggested it!
DARCY: I did it for his own good
LIZZIE: My sister hardly shows her true feelings to me! (pause, takes a breath) I suppose you suspect that his fortune had same bearing on the matter
DARCY: ( sharply) No! I wouldn't do your sister the dishonour Though it was suggested (stops)
LIZZIE: What was
DARCY: It was made perfectly clear thatan advantageous marriage (stops)
LIZZIE: Did my sister give that impression
DARCY: No!
An awkward pause
DARCY: (cont'd) There was, however, I have to admit the matter of your family
LIZZIE: Our want of connection Mr Bingley didn't vex himself about that!
DARCY: No, it was more than that
LIZZIE: How, sir
DARCY: (pause, very uncomfortable) It pains me to say this, but it was the lack of propriety shown by your mother, your three younger sisters - even, on occasion, your father Forgive me
Lizzie blushes He has hit home Darcy paces up and down
DARCY: (cont'd) You and your sister - I must exclude from this
Darcy stops He is in turmoil Lizzie glares at him, ablaze
