hibernation

I'm sick sick sick and there's a slushy mess of a blizzard outside. That means it's time for Elinor and Edward [and Kate Winslet, who I will love forever, even though she is a fool for the majority of this movie and the hairstylist sort of made her look like a sheep]:



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. ]

  3. Ahh! this part too:

    Edward 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.

  4. Marianne: Come, I'm taking you on a walk.
    Margaret: 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.
