LIZZY
Oh Mr. Darcy dear. Are you awake?
DARCY
Mmmmmm.
LIZZY
Oh my dearest Mr. Darcy.
DARCY
Mmmmmm.
LIZZY
Wakie, wakie, Mr. Darcy.
DARCY
Mmmmmm.
LIZZY
I'm going down to breakfast if you don't wake up and kiss me.
DARCY
You aren't going anywhere.
LIZZY
What if I'm hungry?
DARCY
Breakfast can wait, Mrs. Darcy.
LIZZY
But what if my stomach starts growling?
DARCY
Breakfast can wait, Mrs. Darcy.
LIZZY
If you insist, Mr. Darcy.
DARCY
Mr. Who?
LIZZY
Fitzwilliam. Fitzwilliam. Fitzwilliam! Oh, I love the sound of that!
Fitzwilliam! Why haven't I said that before? I love saying it.
Fitzwilliam. Fitzwilliam!
DARCY
I wanted you to call me that weeks ago.
LIZZY
Oh, Fitzwilliam, it's easier to enunciate than I thought.
DARCY
What did you dream about last night? About me?
LIZZY
Well, not exactly. I dreamt about Captain Sam the Seducer and
Dandy Dave the Debaucher.
DARCY
Oh, you devil.
LIZZY
Well, they were fighting over me, but you jumped in and cut them to
ribbons.
DARCY
Good. Serves them right.
LIZZY
And what did you dream about? About me?
DARCY
Oh, I certainly did. I dreamt you were walking all the way to Pemberley,
just as you walked to Netherfield that day.
LIZZY
In the rain?
DARCY
No. The sun was bright, no clouds, a soft breeze...
LIZZY
Oh, how sweet.
DARCY
The wind picked up, your hair was blowing all about, and yet you couldn't
take your eyes off me standing in the distance.
LIZZY
How romantic.
DARCY
And then your dress blew right off.
LIZZY
Oh, you naughty brute! That deserves a smack.
DARCY
Ouch.
LIZZY
So it's true. Men do think about such things.
DARCY
Well, on his wedding night the bridegroom is allowed to have any dream
he wants, as long as it includes his bride.
LIZZY
I see. Did you learn that in college too?
DARCY
It's a custom in Derbyshire.
LIZZY
By the way, do you know who Captain Sam looked like in my
dream?
DARCY
Who?
LIZZY
Well, maybe I shouldn't say his name. It might spoil the mood.
DARCY
Oh no, not him?!
LIZZY
Yes. But don't forget, my wonderful Captain Ogre slashed him to
pieces.
DARCY
He deserved no less. But how did he manage to intrude himself into your
dream?
LIZZY
Want to know who Dandy Dave looked like?
DARCY
No!
LIZZY
Oh, I can hardly wait to dream about you again tonight.
DARCY
But Lizzy, I'm right here, right now. There's no need to dream. Just put
your arms around me.
LIZZY
With pleasure ...Oh, Fitzwilliam, your shoulder-blades!
DARCY
Yes, the Darcy men are known for their prodigious scapuli.
LIZZY
If I had known of your shoulder-blades last April, I might have said
yes.
DARCY
Perhaps I should've proposed with my back turned.
LIZZY
Do all Darcy men have so many muscles?
DARCY
Derbyshire men are the finest purebred stock in all of England, my dear.
LIZZY
Well then, tonight I'm going to dream that you're an Arabian
stallion, like Caroline's horse.
DARCY
Oh, Lizzy. Why mention Caroline Bingley on the first morning that we wake up
together?
LIZZY
I wonder if she'll be at the breakfast table this morning? She's the
odd one out now.
DARCY
Yes. If she could only procure a husband.
LIZZY
Do you think she got along with Colonel Fitzwilliam's older brother
at the wedding?
DARCY
Oh no you don't, Lizzy. Leave the poor man alone.
LIZZY
Tell me, did the possibility of marrying her ever cross your mind?
DARCY
Lizzy! How can you ask me such a question on the morning after our
wedding?
LIZZY
I'm sorry. But I won't be jealous. I promise.
DARCY
I never, ever, had any feelings for her. The only thought that ever crossed
my mind was that some day I might have to marry someone like her. But
then the miracle happened.
LIZZY
Miracle?
DARCY
The Meryton Miracle. You.
LIZZY
Oh, Fitzwilliam. ...It scares me to think of all the miracles it took to
get us to finally fall in love.
DARCY
You know, we really owe a debt of gratitude to Caroline.
LIZZY
Why?
DARCY
Remember the day you came to Pemberley?
LIZZY
The day you cut short my tour of the grounds?
DARCY
Yes. I came back early on purpose to avoid spending another day in the
carriage with Caroline.
LIZZY
Really? Perhaps we should drink a toast to her.
DARCY
But it's getting late. Perhaps we should go downstairs for breakfast.
LIZZY
Breakfast? Already?
DARCY
I thought you were hungry.
LIZZY
Oh, no. Breakfast can wait, Mr. Darcy.
