LADY CATHERINE
What a journey! Hertfordshire! Meryton! Middle of nowhere!
DARCY
Why, Aunt Catherine. How, um, nice to see you.
LADY CATHERINE
Don't you try to soften me up, nephew! Where is that young

DARCY
Lizzy? Or Miss Bennet, that is.
LADY CATHERINE
Yes! Where is that harlot? She's addled your brain somehow.
DARCY
Aunt...
LADY CATHERINE

quarter?
DARCY
Aunt...
LADY CATHERINE

DARCY
Aunt...
LADY CATHERINE

DARCY
Aunt...
LADY CATHERINE
How will I be able to show my face at court after this?
DARCY
Oh, I think I hear Bingley calling. Back in a moment.
