Line #7 Heartwarming/PrideAndPrejudice1995


1	* Despite being hilariously overdressed for the first dance he attends in Meryton, Mr. Bingley is obviously having the time of his life, dancing almost non-stop and being a perfect gentleman to everyone.
2	* While she is mostly ignored in it, Mary can be seen trying to catch Mr. Collins's attention during his stay at Longbourne, and of the Bennet sisters would have likely been the best match for him due to her love of reading and disinterest in balls (where we see that Mr. Collins has no skill at dancing).
3	* When everyone is pressing on Mary to stop playing a concerto and instead play something they can dance to, Sir William Lucas comes over and phrases the request in a way designed to allow Mary to keep her dignity (such as she has after throwing a tantrum at the initial request).
4	** Sir William Lucas in general is just a cheerful fellow, always smiling and making sure that everyone is enjoying themselves at parties, the majority of which he arranges. He never once says an ill word to or about anyone, a sharp contrast to the other men in the story (except Bingly, who is almost as cheerful as Sir William).
5	* While Charlotte's feelings are less than romantic towards Mr. Collins, and she does arrange things so that she and her husband spend as little time together as possible, they do get along fairly well when they're actually in the same room; the man is obviously a good husband to her, providing her with a comfortable home in the manner to which she had been accustomed in her father's house and doting over her. The only woman he seems to care more for is Lady Catherine de Burgh. As a result Charlotte is clearly very happy and content when Elizabeth visits her, and she does even seem to regard Mr. Collins with some affection.
6	* When Darcy is dealing with Wickham in the flashback (following the latter's attempted seduction of Georgiana) we see Georgiana waiting anxiously outside the room, then Wickham departs and Darcy sternly orders her in... and tenderly embraces her.
7	* All of Darcy's interactions with Georgiana. He's considerate of her shyness, but also encourages her gently to be more social and speak to Elizabeth herself. Every scene they share makes it clear how much they love and care for each other.
8	* It's a very subtle moment, but the sheer affection and pride in the housekeeper's voice when she points out Mr. Darcy's picture. [[NiceToTheWaiter Just from the tone of her voice, the viewer understands how much his servants truly love him.]] [[note]]While a servant wouldn't be likely to admit that their master is abusive, the fact that they so freely and lavishly praise him show that their affection for him is genuine. [[/note]]
9	* When she visits, Darcy is eager to know Elizabeth's opinion of Pemberley.
10	-->'''Darcy:''' I hope you are not displeased with Pemberley?\
11	'''Elizabeth:''' No, not at all.\
12	'''Darcy:''' Then you approve of it?\
13	'''Elizabeth:''' Very much. I think there are few who would not approve.\
14	'''Darcy:''' But your good opinion is rarely bestowed, and therefore more worth the earning.
15	** The physical reactions of the characters are just as sweet as the dialogue; and Darcy wears a look of genuine delight when he says "then you approve of it?" Darcy is the richest man in Derbyshire and probably one of the richest men in the ''country'', lives in a BigFancyHouse on an estate whose perimeter is ''ten miles'' around, and he's as nervous as a schoolboy over whether or not Elizabeth is going to like it.
16	* Elizabeth's first meeting with Georgiana immediately makes them fast friends, as they quickly bond over their shared desire for different siblings (as much as they love their siblings, Elizabeth wishes she had had a brother and Georgiana wishes she had had a sister).
17	** When Georgiana asks Elizabeth to join them for dinner at Pemberley, it is plainly obvious that Darcy is the one that wants to ask her but, either from shyness/anxiety or fear of offending her after his disastrous proposal, has his sister make the request. She, for her part, does not give away that the request is being made on his behalf, so as to spare his pride, only stating that the request on behalf of both of them.
18	* Darcy ready to spring to Georgiana's aid when Caroline obliviously drops Wickham's name in yet another dig at Lizzy. Lizzy herself tactfully intervenes to help her shy new friend without giving away the reason for it; she and Darcy share a look of sympathetic understanding.
19	** Immediately prior, when Elizabeth is playing the pianoforte (not horribly, but obviously lacking) Darcy is watching her enraptured by her music. Bingley, for his part, obviously finds her playing less than enjoyable but still gives her wholehearted applause when she is finished (applauding the effort, if not the performance).
20	** Later that night, Darcy returns to the piano room alone to remember not only Elizabeth's playing, but the short moment of eye contact after they both leapt to Georgiana's defence.
21	* In Jane's accounting of the family receiving the Colonel's letter about Lydia running off with Wickham, Mary is the first one of the Bennet daughters to assist her mother despite all the crap Mrs. Bennet puts her through.
22	* When preparing to visit Elizabeth at the inn, Darcy is seen fretting over his clothes, choosing the outfit with care. Between this and the only other time he calls on Elizabeth alone, it is heavily implied that he was going to broach the subject of marriage again with Elizabeth, now that things between them have become more cordial.
23	* After quite justifiably ripping into Darcy over his interference with Jane, Bingley then asks for the man's blessing, saying that while he doesn't ''need'' it, he would still like to have it.
24	* After freely acknowledging that he behaved badly towards Elizabeth during his initial proposal and admitting that he has been a selfish being all his life, Darcy concludes that he would have continued to be a proud and conceited person if it hadn't been for her: "Dearest, loveliest Elizabeth."
