Elliot Cowan: Mr Darcy

Quotes 

• Amanda Price : Mr. Collins has had the unusual good fortune to shoot a peacock.

  Mr. Darcy : That IS unusual. One peacock... is probably sufficient.

• Mr. Darcy : I confess I am none the wiser.

  Amanda Price : No sir, but you are better informed.

• Amanda Price : I try not to judge people I've never met.

  Mr. Darcy : You are a philosopher, Miss Price. I would I could be like you.

  Amanda Price : Certainly you would benefit an occupation of some kind. You have no function, Mr. Darcy. No purpose.

  Mr. Darcy : Of course not! What a disgusting idea. That is a raison d'entre of society. We must be seen to be unoccupied.

• Georgiana : This lady who's coming to stay... Are you going to marry her?

  Mr. Darcy : That's an absolutely outrageous question, Georgiana. And I really should chastise you for it.

  Georgiana : You wouldn't dare.

  Mr. Darcy : You're right, I wouldn't.

• Mr. Darcy : Amanda. It means 'She who must be loved'.

  Amanda Price : You must not. You must not...

  Mr. Darcy : Wherefore must I not? Who is to judge us? I have laboured so long in the service of propriety.

  Amanda Price : Elizabeth. I am not Elizabeth. The entire world will hate me!

  Mr. Darcy : Were that true, Amanda, I would fight the world! You are the one I love.

• Amanda Price : [after Mr. Darcy emerges from the water]  I am having a bit of a strange post-modern moment here.

  Mr. Darcy : Is that agreeable?

  Amanda Price : Oh yes. Yes.

• Amanda Price : Mr. Collins says that Lady Catherine's buttresses are the talk of the county.

  Mr. Darcy : Buttresses?

  Amanda Price : Being a woman, I know so little about architecture, of course, but I think they form...

  Mr. Darcy : Yes, I know what buttresses are!

  Amanda Price : [Thinking]  First set, Miss Price. New balls, please.

• Mr. Darcy : I find both incarnations of your character equally disagreeable. And yet I love you Amanda Price... with all my heart.
