Ladies and gentlemen,
I am ordered by Miss Woodhouse
to say that she waives her right of knowing what you may be thinking of
and only requires something entertaining from each of you.
She demands either one thing very clever or two things moderately clever,
or three things very dull indeed.
And she engages to laugh heartily at them all.
Oh. Very well, then. I need not be uneasy.
Three things very dull indeed?
That will do just for me.
I shall be sure to say three dull things as soon as I open my mouth.
Ah, ma'am, but there is the difficulty.
When have you ever stopped at three?
Oh.
No. I see what she... she means.
I shall try to hold my tongue. Heh.
I like this plan. Uh...
Agreed, agreed, agreed, agreed.
Uh, I shall do my best. Um...
I'm making a conundrum.
How will a conundrum reckon?
Low, I am afraid, sir, but we shall be indulgent.
Mr. Knightley,
I must have made myself very disagreeable...
or she would not have said such a thing to an old friend.
I cannot think what I have done.
What two letters of the alphabet are there that express perfection?
What two letters express perfection?
I'm... I'm sure I do not know.
Well, I shall tell you. M and A, "Emma."
- Do you understand? - Yes.
Mr. Weston has shown us how to play this game, but also how to end it,
for who can improve upon perfection?
I protest. I must be excused.
I do not pretend to be a wit.
I really must be allowed to judge when to speak and when to hold my tongue.
Shall we walk, Augusta?
Most willingly. I am very tired of exploring so long on one spot.
Shall we join Mrs, Elton, ma'am?
If you please, my dear.
With all my heart, I am quite ready.
