• Elizabeth Bennet : I shall never relinquish my sword for a ring.

  Charlotte : For the right man, you would.

  Elizabeth Bennet : The right man wouldn't ask me to.

• Elizabeth Bennet : To succeed in polite society, a young woman must be many things. Kind... well-read... and accomplished. But to survive in the world as WE know it, you'll need... other qualities.

• Elizabeth Bennet : A woman is either highly trained or highly refined. One cannot afford the luxury of both in such times.

• Elizabeth Bennet : My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.

• Elizabeth Bennet : Mr. Darcy, you look as though you are fully mended.

  Mr. Darcy : I am. Thank you... If it wasn't for you I'd have surely perished. You have saved me in more ways than one. What you said to me on Hingham Bridge.

  Elizabeth Bennet : You heard me?

  Mr. Darcy : I did. It gave me hope.

  Elizabeth Bennet : For what?

  Mr. Darcy : That your feelings towards me may have changed? However one word from you now will silence me on the subject forever. You are the love of my life Elizabeth Bennet. So I ask you now... half in anguish... half in hope... Will you do me the great great honor, of taking me for your husband?

  Elizabeth Bennet : [happily]  Yes!

• Mr. Darcy : Miss Bennet, although I know many consider you to be decidedly inferior as a matter of your birth, family and circumstances, my feelings will not be repressed. In vain, I struggled. I've come to feel for you a most ardent admiration and regard which has overcome my better judgment.

  [takes a knee] 

  Mr. Darcy : So now I ask you most fervently to end my turmoil and consent to be my wife.

  Elizabeth Bennet : [in slight shock]  If I could feel gratitude I would now thank you. But I cannot. I never desired your good opinion. And you've certainly bestowed it most unwillingly.

• Elizabeth Bennet : [to an unconscious Darcy, after the bridge explosion]  The very first moment I beheld you, my heart was irrevocably gone.

• Mr. Bennet : [cunningly]  An unhappy alternative is before you. Your mother will never speak to you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins. And I will never speak to you again if you do.

  Mrs. Bennet : [realizing, outraged]  Who will maintain you when your father is dead? No one, Elizabeth Bennet! You shall become a poor and pathetic spinster!

  Elizabeth Bennet : [near tears]  Anything! Anything is to be preferred or endured rather than marrying without affection!

• Mr. Darcy : [to Bingley]  Carelessness when dealing with a zombie infection can lead to your abrupt demise.

  Elizabeth Bennet : [suddenly at his side]  Arrogance can lead to yours.

  Mr. Darcy : [irate]  Your defect, Ms. Bennet, besides eavesdropping... is to willfully misunderstand people.

  Elizabeth Bennet : And yours is to be unjustly prejudiced against them.

• Mr. Bingley : You prefer reading to cards?

  Elizabeth Bennet : I prefer a great many things to cards.

  Caroline Bingley : [In Japanese]  One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other.

  [Everyone laughs] 

  Elizabeth Bennet : I don't speak Japanese.

  Caroline Bingley : No, of course. You didn't train in Japan. China, was it?

  Elizabeth Bennet : A Shaolin temple in Henan province. It was there that I learned to endure all manner of discomfort.

  Caroline Bingley : May I inquire as to the nature of this discomfort?

  Elizabeth Bennet : I'd much rather give you a demonstration.

• Lady Catherine de Bourgh : You're a very small estate here.

  Elizabeth Bennet : And yet we endure it.

• [first lines] 

  Elizabeth Bennet : It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains. Never was this truth more plain than in the recents attacks at Netherfield Park, in which an entire household was slaughtered by a horde of the living dead during a whist party.

• Elizabeth Bennet : Mrs. Featherstone. You're undead.

  Mrs. Featherstone : Shh, I've come to tell you a...

  [head gets blown off] 

• Mrs. Bennet : Do not worry, Mr. Collins, she shall be brought to reason.

  Parson Collins : Oh good!

  Elizabeth Bennet : No.

  Parson Collins : Oh no.

• Elizabeth Bennet : Your abilities as a warrior are beyond reproach, Mr. Darcy. If only you were as good a friend.

• Elizabeth Bennet : Mr. Darcy, you're as unfeeling as the undead.
