Elizabeth Bennet:
Charlotte!
Charlotte Lucas:
My dear Lizzy. I've come to tell you the news. Mr. Collins and I are... engaged.
Elizabeth Bennet:
To be married?
Charlotte Lucas:
Yes of course. What other kind of engaged is there?
[Lizzy looks shocked]
Charlotte Lucas:
Oh, for Heaven's sake! Don't look at me like that Lizzy! There is no earthly reason why I shouldn't be as happy with him as any other.
Elizabeth Bennet:
But he's ridiculous!
Charlotte Lucas:
Oh hush! Not all of us can afford to be romantic. I've been offered a comfortable home and protection. There's alot to be thankful for.
Elizabeth Bennet:
But...
Charlotte Lucas:
I'm twenty-seven years old, I've no money and no prospects. I'm already a burden to my parents and I'm frightened. So don't you judge me, Lizzy. Don't you dare judge me!
