p.s. How the cuss can a movie this wonderful have a tagline that bad??
[update: I had forgotten how good some of these lines are. For example:
Elinor Dashwood: Margaret has always wanted to travel.
Edward Ferrars: I know. She's heading an expedition to China shortly. I'm to go as her servant. But only on the understanding that I am to be very badly treated.
Elinor Dashwood: What will your duties be?
Edward Ferrars: Sword fighting, obviously, administering rum and swabbing.
Elinor Dashwood: And which of these will take precedence?
Edward Ferrars: Swabbing, I imagine. ]
love love love love love this movie.
ReplyDeleteditto robison-- love love love this movie, and that part. HUGE fan of Elinor and Edward! (Who isn't?!)
ReplyDeleteAhh! this part too:
ReplyDeleteEdward Ferrars: Do you have such thing as a reliable atlas? I wish to check the position of the Nile. My sister tells me it is in South America.
Elinor Dashwood: No. She's quite wrong, for I believe it is in Belgium.
Edward Ferrars: You must be thinking of the Volga.
Margaret: The Volga?
Elinor Dashwood: Of course, the Volga. Which, as you know, starts in...
Edward Ferrars: Vladivostock, and ends in...
Elinor Dashwood: Wimbledon.
Edward Ferrars: Precisely. Where the coffee beans come from.
Marianne: Come, I'm taking you on a walk.
ReplyDeleteMargaret: No, I've been on a walk.
Marianne: You need another.
Margaret: It's going to rain.
Marianne: It is NOT going to rain.
Margaret: You ALWAYS say that, and then it ALWAYS does.
