Pride and Prejudice, Cut (2019) - full transcript

A popular American vlogger is cast in a British film production of 'Pride and Prejudice', but struggles with her accent.

- You know, I used to think

he was the worst man in the
world,

stubborn, arrogant, and the
biggest snob I have ever met.

Now, I don't know if I've met a
better man

save father of course.

His stubbornness, arrogance, and
snobbery

just serve as an exterior to
cover up

a loyal, fastidious heart,

which, once given to his
family and close friends,

I think, might be given forever.

Jane, he's so kind,



and so very funny when
you get to meet him.

And the things he's done for me

I can't tell you.

Jane,

I think I'm in love with Mister
Darcy.

- Okay, great.

- Thanks Kate, we'll be
in touch with your agent.

- Thank you.

- I liked her.

[bright instrumental music]

- Hey lovely people, Kate here.

Just got out of my audition,

and I wanted to let you guys
know

as soon as possible how it went.



I gave it my best.

I was really nervous,

and really worried about
the British accent,

but I think it went well,

so we'll see how it turns out,

I'll let you know when I find
out,

so wish me luck.

[upbeat orchestral music]

Hey lovely people, I have
the most amazing news.

My agent just called, and I got
the part.

I am gonna be playing Lizzy
Bennet in Pride and Prejudice.

I cannot believe, I am so happy
right now.

Thank you all for your support
in watching this channel,

as I become a professional
actress.

I'll be sure to post
updates as I go along,

and remember to follow your
dreams

and make them a reality.

- So when do they get here?

- Most of the actors will
be here this afternoon,

the rest later on in the week.

- She wants constant updates
with everything going on.

- That's if she still
agrees to fund the film

once she finds out.

- It'll be fine.

- Jackson,

I'm hearing something alarming.

- Philippa.

Good morning.

- Would either of you like to
tell me

why I wasn't made aware

of your most recent casting
decision?

- I'm sorry, for which role?

- You know very well which one.

- The actress is very talented,
Philippa,

just magical on screen.

She was on that Three Times a
Charm show,

which was a very popular US web
series.

- Web series.

- Philippa, it's a little
unusual for an investor

to be involved in casting
decisions,

so I didn't think to consult
you,

and we have Sophie's expert
eye here as a director.

- I've already acquiesced to
this decision

to film in South Carolina,

now you've hired an American
Watch It star

to play one of the most iconic
characters

in English Literature.

I would expect the producer of
this film

to be more careful with
the money I've invested.

- I can assure you Philippa,

I have nothing in mind
other than your investment,

and specifically the return on
it.

- How so?

- Kate has a huge fan
base from her web series,

and her Watch It vlogging
channel

has over eight million
subscribers.

- What about her accent?

- We're working with her on it.

- This had better work.

- Hey man, how's it going?

- Fine, thank you.

- Well I'm Brad,

I'm a production assistant,

so if you ever need
anything just let me know.

I'm here to help out with
the production, and--

- I am aware of what a PA does.

This isn't my first film.

- Okay, cool.

So, we'll just go ahead
and head over to the hotel,

and then you have a welcome
party

at the restaurant, the
hotel restaurant tonight.

- Yes, I have read the schedule.

- So you're from England, huh?

- What gave it away?

- Right, the accent.

You know, I'm actually an actor.

I live in Atlanta,

and started to take a few acting
classes,

and I decided to start working
as a PA

to get to know some of the
directors,

and get a foot in the door.

How'd you get started?

Okay then.

[bright orchestral music]

- Dear Kate, we are absolutely
delighted

to have you playing Lizzy Bennet

in our adaptation of Pride and
Prejudice.

See you tonight at the welcome
party.

Sophie and Jackson.

- Kate, this is Julia,

she's gonna be playing your
sister, Jane.

- Hi, it's so nice to meet you.

- You too.

- I'll let you girls
get to know each other.

- It's very pretty here.

- Yeah, this hotel is beautiful.

So is this your first American
film?

- It's my first film.

- Really, me too.

- I feel so lucky to be
doing something this amazing

just out of school.

- Yeah, I'm so excited to see
what

Sophie's gonna do with it, she's
a genius.

I'm sure before long we'll all
feel like

we're in regency-era
Hertfordshire.

- Look.

- [Man] You must be two
of the Bennet sisters.

- Yes, hi, I'm Kate, I'm playing
Lizzy,

and this is Julia, she's playing
Jane.

- It's nice to meet you both.

I'm Ben.

- I know.

- I'm sorry.

Have we met before?

- No, I saw you in
Twelfth Night last year.

- You did.

My father did not think I was
ready

for Shakespeare on the West End.

He's a bit headstrong.

I'm afraid he might have been
right.

- No, no, you were wonderful.

- Oh, well I'll be sure and tell
him so.

- Will you be playing Mister
Bingley?

- I am.

- Can I assume that you're
playing Darcy and Caroline?

- That's correct.

- I'm sorry, I didn't realize
that our Lizzy was American.

What are they doing about your
accent?

- Oh I've been doing a
bunch of online tutorials

for dialect training.

- Sure the budget isn't big
enough for an on set coach?

- I suppose we are far from our
sweeping

English theatrical dramas where
no expense would be spared,

to insure accuracy and quality.

But then what can you expect
from a low-budget production?

Jackson, I can't tell
you how thrilled I am

to be a part of this film.

- Do you want to go get a drink?

- Yes.

- So it's sounds like
we're gonna be spending

a lot of time together
the next couple of weeks.

I heard you did a lot
of theater in London?

- Yeah, excuse me.

- It's nice to meet you too.

- Hello, I'm Sarah Edwards,
I'm playing Missus Bennet.

- Hi, I'm Kate Miller, I'm
playing--

- I know who you are.

It's such a pleasure
to be working with you.

My girls follow your channel
religiously.

You're quite the internet star.

- Thank you so much.

It's a pleasure to be
working with you, as well.

[soft orchestral music]

Hey, how'd you sleep?

- Okay.

It's a worry about the jet lag
though.

- Good morning.

- Good morning ladies.

Hope you slept well.

- Hey Ben.

- Julia, may I walk you to your
seat?

- Thank you.

- I just figure that
seeing as we're playing

a couple on screen,

might as well start behaving
like one.

- Good morning, Kate.

- Hi, Sophie, thank you
again for casting me,

I'm so excited to play Lizzy.

- Oh, I just loved you
in Three Times a Charm,

and when I saw your audition
video, I couldn't say no.

So, how's the accent going?

- It's getting there.

- Well why don't you see

if one of your castmates will
help you?

We only have two weeks to
rehearse,

and our investor's very
particular about authenticity.

The accent will kind of have to
be perfect

by the time we start shooting.

- I'll try my best.

- I know you will.

- Good morning.

- Okay, let's settle in.

- Good morning everyone.

I'm Jackson, one of the
producers of the film,

and I'd like to welcome
you all to our production

of Jane Austen's beloved
classic,

Pride and Prejudice.

We are pleased to have such a
wonderful and talented cast,

and of course such a talented
director.

I'll be popping in and out of
rehearsals,

but in the meantime,

I'll leave you in Sophie's
very capable hands.

Good luck to you all, and thank
you.

- Okay, well I'm sure
you've all met by now,

so we're just gonna do a
read-through from the top.

So, Missus Bennet?

- Mister Bennet, Netherfield
has been let at last.

- I never thought a passing
could be this happy.

- Whatever am I gonna do without
you?

You must promise to visit every
week.

- I will every day if I'm able.

- No, we can't have you away
from Mister Bingley so often.

Cannot.

Cannot.

- You must come and stay
with us at Netherfield.

- So Mister Bingley has
made up his mind to stay?

- He says he will not dream

of keeping me away from my
family.

Luckily, Caroline will be
spending

most of her time in town so,

we'll be far away from his.

- Jane, that is the first unkind
thing

I have ever heard you say.

I've never been more
proud of you in my life.

- I am sorry he brought
Mister Darcy with him.

- I'm not, not.

- Not.

- I'm not.

- Not bad.

Let's slough through these last
few pages,

and then we can break for lunch.

- Oh, do you know what,
I'll be right back.

I'm gonna use the restroom,

don't let them start without me.

- Okay.

- [Liam] I understand
you have your reasons.

- [Jackson] So why are you
questioning my decisions?

- I'm not trying to disrespect
you here,

I just assumed you'd hire

an English actress with proper
training.

- [Jackson] The accent will
improve.

- We're only rehearsing for two
weeks.

It's not enough time.

- She's smart, she'll catch on.

- I certainly hope so.

I'll be a laughing stock back
home,

if I play opposite a Lizzy
with an American accent.

- She seemed to do well
today when you helped her.

- No, no count on me to walk
her through every line, Sophie.

I'm here to launch my American
career,

not coach your actress.

- Look, we're going to ask
everyone to pitch in to help
her.

It's not just gonna be
your responsibility.

- Well, where did she come from
anyway?

Why hasn't she been trained in
accents?

- She's had acting classes
with some really good coaches.

- I've never seen her in
anything.

What's her exact experience?

- She has a very popular
channel on Watch It dot com.

- I'm sorry.

- She has a very popular
channel on Watch It dot com.

- Are you kidding me?

She's an internet star, that's
it?

- Yes, she was on a very
successful web series,

which she was excellent in.

Now she has a channel
primarily focused on vlogging,

but she's a very committed
actress.

- Now I can't believe you would
cast her.

She has no idea what she's
doing.

- Okay,

we have an out clause in her
contract for performance.

How about, if she doesn't get
the accent

by the time we start shooting,

we'll recast her.

- Oh so I'm supposed to
waste my time and energy

on an actress who isn't even
going

to end up playing the role?

- She's going to get the accent,
Liam.

I have every confidence that she
will.

- Yeah well, I don't.

[somber orchestral music]

And I have come to the
conclusion that

I love you.

- You love me?

- Yes.

No, sincerely.

- Oh you sincerely love me, for
how long?

- What do you mean, for how
long?

- At what point did you first
start

developing affections for me?

Was it say, your Aunt's dinner,

or perhaps--

- Perhaps.

- Perhaps Mister Bingley's ball.

- I cannot say for certain,

but I believe it began when we
first met,

at the Meryton assembly.

- How odd.

- Odd.

- How odd.

- In what way?

- That you should
develop affections for me

the very night you
refused to dance with me.

- I told you, I have
no talent for dancing,

nor for making conversation
with persons I've just met.

I'm not like Mister Bingley.

- Speaking of Mister Bingley,

you claim to have affections for
me,

but I believe you're
responsible for denying

the future happiness of
my most beloved sister.

- I do not claim to
have affection for you.

I have stated that I love you.

- Do you deny it?

- Deny what?

- Coming between two people

who obviously care for each
other.

- I don't deny it.

Mister Bingley's very
effusive in his affections,

and your sister--

- Is not, but that does not
mean she feels any less.

- Maybe not so hard on the
O's Kate, but good effort.

I think we can all definitely
feel the vehemence from Lizzy.

Let's take a 15 minute break,

and then we can propel through
the rest of the script,

and call it a day.

- You don't have to coach me
if it's such an imposition.

- Excuse me?

- I'm sure you'd rather
focus on your own acting.

I can find someone else to
help me with my dialect.

- We've all been asked to help
you out,

and I'd rather you get the
accent,

than risk the quality of the
film.

- Don't bother.

Hi lovely people.

So as promised, here's an update

of my first day as Lizzy Bennet.

So I just got settled into my
room,

and I just finished my first
day of prep for the film.

We went through the script
twice,

I met quite a few of my costars.

They're mostly polite,

though I think the fact that I
am American

does concern them a little bit.

Oh, the girl playing Jane is so
nice.

I think the two of us are
gonna end up being friends.

I mean I guess they do have
a reason to be concerned.

I'm struggling with the accent
more than I thought I would.

But, this has been a really long
day,

and I'm gonna run some
lines, and get to bed.

So, have a good night, sweet
dreams,

and remember to keep following
yours.

[sentimental orchestral music]

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry.

- Hey hey, it's totally fine.

I'm a klutz with coffee too.

That's why I always where black.

See, you can't even see the
stain.

- Yeah, good looking ahead.

- I'm Brad, I'm a PA.

- Hi, I'm Kate, I'm playing
Lizzy.

- Awesome.

Well, good luck with rehearsals,

and my name's on the call
sheet if you need anything.

- Thanks.

And I'm sorry, again.

- My, he's a handsome one.

- Brad?

Yeah, I guess.

- Well maybe not a good
enough match for you,

you are the star of the movie.

- Match?

- Oh, do you have a boyfriend
already?

- No, no and I'm not looking for
one.

- Well, there's not a lot of
other options

for you on this shoot.

Ben seems quite taken with Julia
already.

There is Liam.

Exactly, what about that
actor that's playing Wickham?

- Really Sarah, I don't want to
be

romantically involved
with someone I work with.

- Now how else are you
going to get your picture

in the tabloids?

It's the quickest way
to gain career traction.

- You know what, I need to
get ready for rehearsal.

I'll see you later.

- Bye.

- Do you dance, Mister Darcy?

- Not if I can help it,
I have no talent for it,

nor do I enjoy being forced
to make conversations

with persons I've just met.

- What a shame,

for I find it to be one of
the true delights in life.

- Your family seems to enjoy it.

- If you're speaking of my
sister Jane,

yes I do believe she does.

Doesn't she look marvelous

dancing with your friend, Mister
Bingley?

- I think Lizzy would use that
last line

as a bit more of a taunt.

- Doesn't she look marvelous,

dancing with your friend Mister
Bingley?

- I was rather speaking of your
mother,

and your younger sisters,

who are apparently out in
society

before the other are married.

- Why should my younger
sisters be prevented

from enjoying society,

just because the elder
are not yet married?

Not yet married?

Not.

- Okay, that's enough for now.

Liam, do you mind helping Kate

when she struggles with the
accent?

- It's my fault, just working on
it.

- Sorry, I'm just used to people

who know how to speak properly.

- [Sophie] Julia, Ben,
let's do your scene.

[quiet piano music]

- And how are you feeling
today, Miss Bennet?

- A little better than
yesterday.

I feel like maybe I
should go home tomorrow.

- Mister Jones said
you are not to leave us

until you are fully better.

I cannot imagine that will be
tomorrow.

- I do feel like I'm making
myself such an imposition.

- Not at all.

I am sorry it is under such
circumstances,

but I could not be happier you
are here.

- These two are very natural
together.

It's almost like they're not
acting.

- Yeah, they're great.

What?

- She better not get any ideas.

- Ideas?

- About Ben.

- What's the problem,
does he have a girlfriend?

- No.

Ben is from a very
prominent acting family.

Many young actresses have gone
after him,

hoping to get a leg up in the
industry.

- Julia is so sweet, she
wouldn't do that.

- I wouldn't be so sure.

- I feel sorry for you, if
this is how you view people.

- I guess you've never had
the unfortunate experience

of being taken advantage
of by another person.

- I have had the misfortune,

but I choose not to let it
affect

my interactions with other
people.

- Fantastic.

That's all for today, thanks.

- Let us go then.

- Great job today, guys.

- Kate, can I talk to you for a
second.

- [Kate] Sure.

- I'll see you tomorrow, Kate.

- The accent.

- I know, I'm trying.

I think I was just a
little bit nervous today.

- Ask some of your castmates to
help you.

You have to get it before we
start shooting otherwise--

- I know.

I understand.

[soft jazz music]

- So, what do we have here?

- Hi, I'm just working on my
lines.

- And the accent?

- I'm struggling with
it more than I expected.

Actually, do you have a couple
of minutes

to help me work on it?

- Of course.

- Thanks.

I really appreciate it.

- Please, don't mention it.

Do you want to start here?

- Yes.

Come Miss Lizzy,

let us take a walk about the
room.

It is so refreshing, is it not,

after sitting for so long?

- It is a small sort of
accomplishment I suppose.

- Mister Darcy.

- [Sophie] Hold on a moment,
Miss Emilia.

Let's run that line again
if you don't mind, Kate.

- What words did I say
incorrectly?

Small accomplishment?

- It sounded perfectly fine to
me.

- From your line, Emilia.

- It is so refreshing is it not,

after sitting for so long?

- It is a small sort of
accomplishment, I suppose.

- Sort.

- It is a small sort of
accomplishment, I suppose.

- Mister Darcy,

would you care to join us
in a turn about the room?

- I shall pass on your
kind request, Caroline.

- Too wrapped up in your work
to enjoy a healthy jaunt?

- Not at all.

In fact there can only be two
reasons

for you and Miss Lizzy to be
in your present occupation.

Either you are in each other's
confidence,

and my presence would prevent
your

being able to confide your
secrets,

or you are aware that your
figures

are best observed from a
distance,

and if I walked right beside
you, I could not admire them.

- Mister Darcy,

we are shocked are we not, Miss
Elizabeth?

- Absolutely.

- I like this, we need
to shift this over here.

Others in--

- You guys wanted to talk?

- Kate, come in.

- I know what you're gonna say,
I'm sorry,

I don't know what to do.

I even asked Emilia for help.

- We have an idea.

Why don't you take tomorrow
off, and get some down time?

- That might help.

I am really tired and
it's only been two days.

- There we go.

Do some more online dialect
tutorials,

and join us for rehearsals
in the afternoon.

- Thank you guys for
understanding.

I'll see you tomorrow afternoon.

- Okay.

- I don't like what we're doing
here.

- I don't like what we're doing,
either.

But what if she never gets the
accent?

We need another option for
Lizzy.

- I know, it's just so
dishonest.

- I'm actually more of
a whiskey girl myself.

- Really?

They've got a lovely Scotch
selection

at the patio bar downstairs.

Would you like to go?

- Sure, when?

- Are you busy now?

- Hey guys, what's going on?

- Well, were just thinking of
going

and grabbing a drink a the patio
bar.

- That sounds amazing,

I could really use one of those
right now,

but you know, it's been a really
long day.

I think I'm just gonna go back
to my room,

and order some room service.

- No, don't be silly, come on.

Come with us.

Liam?

You'll come and have a
drink with us, won't you?

- Sure.

- Great, look I'll text Emilia

and we'll get the whole gang
together.

- You coming?

- I guess so.

- Great.

- Do remember the night
that actress playing Hermana

forgot all her lines?

- [Liam] Mmm yeah, I
had to feed them to her

under my breath all night.

I was never so happy for a
performance to end in my life.

- It must be so
frustrating having a costar

you had to coach along.

Luckily they fired her once they
realized

she wasn't a true professional.

- She wasn't a very good actress
though,

it wasn't just not being able to
memorize.

- You know, you are an amazing
Demetrius.

I have to say it was my pleasure

getting to play your Hannah.

- Kate, have you done
Shakespeare?

- No I haven't,

not since high school.

- Not surprised.

- I don't really like him, to be
honest.

- Isn't that sacrilegious for
the British?

- It's more like a son
rebelling against his father.

- I don't know, it looks
like someone has some fans.

- We're so sorry to disturb you,

but would you mind taking a
photo?

- Of course.

It's so refreshing meeting
Americans

who recognize British theater
actors.

- Oh, we meant Kate.

Do you mind?

- No, of course not.

- Would you mind taking the
photo?

- Excuse me.

I need to find the loo.

- I can take your picture, here.

- [Girl] Oh thank you.

- One, two, three.

[shutter clicking]

- We just love you so much,

you have no idea how
much you've helped me.

- Oh honey, come here.

- Thank you for everything.

- You're welcome.

- So does that happen to you a
lot?

- Not all the time, just
sometimes.

- Kate's quite famous, she
has a lot of subscribers.

- [Ben] Really? How many?

- I'm not sure.

- Eight million.

- How could you know that?

- I'm one of them, I love your
channel.

And I watched Three Times
a Charm religiously.

- Kate, Emilia tells me
she's been helping you

with the accent?

- Yeah, she was helping me last
night.

I thought I had it down but
it didn't go so well today.

- Maybe you shouldn't
ask her for help anymore.

- Well, I needed help and she
offered.

Excuse me, I'm gonna go back to
my room.

Have a good night, I'll
see you guys tomorrow.

- Okay, have a good night.

- Yeah, goodnight.

- You too.

- Thank you for the
stimulating conversation.

Good morning, beautiful people.

Just wanted to give
you guys a quick update

on how rehearsals are going.

Things have been crazy.

I have crammed so many lines in
my brain,

I don't even know how to
form a sentence anymore.

I knew this was gonna be hard
but,

I didn't expect to be so
difficult

to get the British accent.

I don't know why, I mean I have
watched

tons of British films and TV
shows,

and I even downloaded a
couple of online tutorials,

but I only seem to get it right

when this one actor corrects me,

and it's just rude the
way he goes about it.

He's such a snob and he just
thinks

he's above everyone else.

I understand that Lizzy Bennet

needs a proper British accent
but,

this is my dream,

and I'm gonna figure it
out or I'm gonna get fired.

I know it's not what
you guys want to hear,

but I promised I would be honest
with you.

Well, wish me well, and until
next time,

keep chasing your dreams.

[soft orchestral music]

- So what's the verdict?

Anything look good?

- Uh, the Eggs Benedict looks
great.

- You stole that from us, you
know.

- I'm pretty sure it's American.

- Well, seeing how this
country used to be English,

I think we can safely claim
the beloved breakfast dish.

- I think it's actually
more of a brunch dish,

but I'm from LA, and we live for
brunch.

- LA?

You're not in town for the film,
are you?

- I am, are you?

I haven't seen you at rehearsal.

- I wrapped on another film
yesterday,

and hopped straight on the
plane.

I don't think I've slept in 36
hours.

- And you're playing?

- Mister Wickham, at your
service.

I'm Will.

- Kate.

- You're playing Lizzy.

- How did you know?

Oh yeah, American.

- Well, that settles it then.

- Settles what?

- I'm treating you to breakfast
here,

then accompanying you to
rehearsals,

so we can get to know each
other.

- Okay.

[soft piano music]

- Our waiter lost his mind,

so I said, look,

I'm sorry sir,

it's just the name of
the desert in England,

I didn't mean to offend you.

- I can't believe you said that.

- Yeah, he kind of deserved it
too.

- Will?

- Emilia, I wondered when it
would be when I ran into you.

- Yes, so lovely to see you too,
darling.

- Well now that you've arrived,

it's gonna finally pick up
around here.

- Did anyone say rehearsal?

I thought we all had the morning
off.

- Sophie just wanted me
to work on some blocking.

Yeah, you definitely
weren't supposed to be here.

Don't worry.

- Oh Kate, Sophie's just
finishing up a call,

but we're almost ready to start.

- All right.

- All right well, I'd better pop
up

to my room and get some rest.

Kate, lovely to meet you,

and we'll try rehearsals.

- Let me walk you to your room.

[mumbling]

- When did you meet Will?

- We met this morning.

- You two seem like old pals
already,

but I guess he has that affect
on people.

- You know him?

- Yes.

Look I,

I realize you're a little naive
but.

- Okay guys.

I'm sorry, I'm ready.

- Be careful who you trust.

- Why?

- I'm trying to help you from
making a fool of yourself.

- And action.

- And what about Mister Wickham?

- Mister Wickham?

- Yes, Mister Wickham.

Can you explain why you went
against your father's will

and left poor Mister
Wickham without a living?

- Oh yes, poor Mister Wickham.

A pretty face and sad story

will always win a lady's
sympathy.

- I am not that kind of lady.

- Pray, tell me, dear madam,

what kind of lady are you?

- Apparently the kind that is
offered

a declaration of love,

while also enduring insults
regarding

one's family and choice of
friends.

- Am I to delight in the
inferiority of your birth,

the blatant crassness of your
family,

and your surprisingly gullible
nature,

which has led you to believe

that Mister Wickham is the
kind of person to call friend?

- Mister Darcy,

I feel compelled to inform you

that from the very first
moment of our acquaintance,

your arrogance, conceit,

and selfish disdain for
the feelings of others,

has led me to believe that you
are

the very last man on Earth

I could be prevailed upon to
marry.

- You have said enough,

Miss Lizzy.

Thank you, for making your
feelings known.

I am sorry that my affection
and offer of marriage

have offended you so.

I'll take care not to repeat
them.

- Cut.

That was breathtaking.

- The accent.

- Barely noticeable.

- No, I got so many words wrong.

- We'll work on it.

These performances were amazing.

I really believe that you hated
him.

Liam, wasn't she fantastic?

So, Spencer the costume designer
is here.

Let's get you over to wardrobe

to try on what he has in mind
for Lizzy.

- Okay.

- So, what do you think?

- It's beautiful, I love it.

- Well we're dressing Lizzy in
all blues.

The day dress will be more
muted.

- [Julia] Is it all right to
come out now?

- Yes girl, come out here
and show us what you've got.

- That is so pretty on you.

- Now get up on the platform,

and give it a twirl.

- What color is the day dress?

- Deep rose girl, deep rose.

Jane is all about the pinks and
roses.

- It's a bit pink.

Isn't it?

- You look beautiful.

And how are things with Ben?

- I don't know, he hasn't texted
me today.

- That's strange.

- I thought he liked me.

Now I'm not quite sure.

I suppose I said something wrong

while we were out for drinks.

- No, what could you have said?

You were lovely.

Maybe he's just memorizing
lines or something.

- Yeah, maybe.

- And I'm sure he'll ask you out
again,

and hopefully this time you
won't have any tag-alongs.

- And how are things with Liam?

- What do you mean?

- With rehearsing the accent
and him being a jerk to you?

- It's okay, I just wish
he wasn't the only one

who could get me to say things
correctly,

which makes me dislike him even
more.

- You know the actor playing
Wickham

is supposed to arrive today.

- Will, yes, I've met him.

Super cute.

[giggling]

- You don't want to join your
sisters

picking hats and gloves for the
ball?

- I have no desire to spend
money for those things,

and you?

I'm sure Lydia would welcome
your opinion

regarding her choice of finery.

- I have no eye for such things.

I was hoping to speak to you

about the gentleman you just
met.

- Mister Darcy?

- Yes, do you know him well?

- We've met on a few occasions.

Would you like me to introduce
you?

- No, we're already
well-acquainted.

You're surprised?

- You said nothing to each
other.

- I'm afraid the way we last
parted,

forever destroyed our
friendship.

- I don't mean to pry.

- Oh, I have no problem
telling you this story,

if you wish to hear it?

- I do.

- Hang on a second guys.

- Shall we continue our stroll?

- How do you know Liam?

- He told you we knew each
other?

- Yes.

- Did he say anything about me?

- No, but it is weird that
he didn't acknowledge you.

- Well, I assume it's
because he's turned biased

towards somebody he stole a part
from.

- No, he didn't.

I know he's a snob and
everything,

but that's terrible, what
happened?

- I'd hate to give you a
bad opinion on the guy.

- It's fine, I already have one.

- In that case, we we're
both up for the lead role

on this amazing new production
of Kafka's Metamorphosis.

I nailed the audition.

I knew the director wanted
me for the bug character.

- Gregor?

- Yeah, that guy.

But, Liam calls the director,

and tells him a whole
bunch of lies about me,

how I'd like ditch rehearsal,

or walk out on performances.

He even said that I might leave
the production altogether,

if something better came along.

- That's terrible.

- I mean all completely untrue,
of course.

Thus, the director, so
convinced by Liam's claims,

that he fired me, hired him for
the role.

- I can't believe that.

- You know what the worst part
is?

That play was a huge hit.

It actually propelled him into
stardom.

And here he is now,

booking all the lead roles,

so I'm stuck playing
supporting characters.

- I'm so sorry, Will.

I can't believe he did that to
you.

- Yeah, well, I guess I just
have to get used to the fact

that Liam's always gonna come
out on top.

Unlike him, I'm not gonna fight
dirty.

- No, Will, you are a super
handsome guy,

and you must be really talented

if you originally had that role.

You'll get a leading role, I'm
sure of it.

- You think I'm handsome?

- Everyone, could I have
your attention please?

Thank you so much for a
fantastic
first week of rehearsals.

Our wonderful investor, Philippa
Jones,

would like us all to
join her for cocktails

tonight at the penthouse at
eight.

I expect you all there on time,

in cocktail attire please.

And let's impress Philippa,

and show her we are
professionals,

committed to this film, thanks.

Will, can I see you for a moment
please?

- So this dinner tonight?

- Yeah, it sounds fun.

I can't wait to meet Philippa.

- It needs to go really well.

- I'm sure it will.

- No Kate, really well.

Philippa's been concerned
from the beginning

about us hiring an American,

and you're still
struggling with the accent.

- I didn't realize she
didn't want to cast me.

- Kate, I really really believe
in you,

but we need to make Philippa
believe in you, too.

Okay, let's settle down
everyone,

and let's pick up from the next
scene.

Julia?

And action.

- I just cannot believe it.

- It's what Mister Wickham
said, word for word.

- Maybe he's mistaken.

After all, Mister Bingley trusts
him.

- He seemed very sure of it.

- Something's not right here.

We should reserve judgment
until we have more information.

- Jane, I do envy your ability

to believe the best in people,

even Mister Darcy.

[soft piano music]

- You better hurry up and get
ready.

You might not make it across
town in time.

- Across town?

The party's in the penthouse.

- Oh you didn't hear.

Yes, no, they changed the
location to Locomotive.

Brad's actually driving me

and a few others there, right
now.

- Can I get a ride with you?

- Sorry, car's full.

But you know I could send Brad
back over

to pick you up afterwards,
it just might be too late.

- No no, it's fine, I'll get
ready quickly

and grab a ride share.

Thank you for telling me, I had
no idea.

- You're welcome.

- I'm here, right on
time, 7:59, I'm not late.

- What's the name on the
reservation?

- It's not a reservation,

it's a party for P and P
Productions.

- There's no party here, Miss.

- Are you sure?

It's the name of the a movie
company.

- There's no party.

- But Emilia said.

Emilia.

Yeah.

Thank you anyway.

[soft piano music]

- Brad, hey it's Kate.

I have a huge favor to ask you.

- Now, remember what I told you.

- Yes Jackson, I know what
we're doing, all right?

- Good.

- We are just so lucky to have
you grace

our little production with your
presence.

- Well, since your little
production

is being funded with my money,

I thought I should come and
supervise.

- Philippa, I'd like to
introduce you to Will.

He's playing our rakish Mister
Wickham.

- I've heard so much about you,
Philippa.

I hope it's all true.

- Wicked young man,

you'd better believe it is.

- Well, I'll leave you two
to get to know each other.

- So is it William, or Will?

- It's whatever you want it to
be.

- These are delicious.

- Didn't we just eat dinner?

- I eat when I'm stressed, back
off.

- Any news on Kate?

- No, not yet.

- It's past eight.

She was supposed to be here by
now,

to make a good im--,

Ben.

To make a good impression.

She better be here soon.

- I don't like what we're
doing to her, Jackson.

- We're not doing anything to
her, Sophie.

Our responsibility is for the
best,

and most successful film
possible.

And if she can't pull off the
accent then,

we'll just do the necessary.

- Emilia is nowhere near
the actress Kate is.

- Emilia has the accent.

I want those Watch It ticket
sales,

just as much as you do.

- I think you want them more.

[crowd chatting]

- If Philippa's not happy,
she pulls her funding,

and then we have no film at all.

- You are a lifesaver.

There were no available ride
shares.

- I'm sure there's only
a few in this town,

and they're all probably busy

because it's a Friday night.

- Well I'm lucky you answered
your phone.

- So, what happened?

Why are you all the way out
here?

- Someone told me the party
was at that restaurant,

which it clearly wasn't.

- Sabotage?

- Looks like it.

- Was it that Liam guy?

- No, but why would you say
that?

- I don't know, he's just kind
of rude.

- Not surprised.

What did he do?

- He just, he doesn't engage,
you know.

I mean, and I tried to
tell him I was an actor.

- And he didn't give you the
time of day

because you didn't go
to some fancy school,

and do a bunch of classical
plays, right?

- Pretty much.

And what's with those
headphones?

- It's so weird, right?

- Really weird.

- I'm sorry he treated you like
that.

- It's okay.

I'm gonna break through soon,
anyway.

I can feel it.

- I believe it.

It's gonna happen for you, Brad.

- Thanks.

- How far away from the hotel,
are we?

- Should be less than five
minutes.

- Great, I owe you one.

- [Brad] Hey, don't sweat it.

- So what would you say your
career goal is, my dear?

- Well, to be a leading man, for
sure.

- Well, you certainly have the
looks.

- And if I may be so modest, the
talent.

- Well, we all know that's not
important.

So what you need to do is to
know how to play the game.

You know there are many, many
gorgeous young men out there,

who want the lead roles in
films.

- I'm very aware, that
everything has a price,

and this case, I'm very willing
to pay in.

In fact, nothing would make me
happier.

- Philippa, so lovely to meet
you at last.

- You are?

- Emilia.

I play Caroline Bingley.

- Oh yes.

So sorry I didn't
introduce myself earlier.

I just figured you'd like to
meet the lead actress first,

but it looks like she's still
not here.

I guess she's as bad at showing
up on time

as she is at her English accent.

- She's still struggling?

- Oh dear.

[soft piano music]

- Thank you again.

- You're late.

- Emilia told me the location
changed.

- I don't care, just
please, just be charming.

Philippa, let me introduce you
to Kate,

the amazingly talented
young lady playing Lizzy.

- Hi Philippa, it's so
lovely to finally meet you.

Sophie and Jackson have
told me so much about you.

- I was just telling Philippa
here,

about your accent coaching,

and how much in improvements
you've made.

- Let's hear it then.

- I'm sorry, what?

- Your accent, let's hear it.

- I'm sure Philippa's just
kidding.

- I am not.

I am investing my money in a
production

that has hired an American,
untrained, internet star,

to play one of English
literature's most iconic women,

and I have it on good authority

that she is still
struggling with the accent.

So no,

I'm not joking.

I am telling you to show
us your English accent.

- I'm sorry, I don't
appreciate your insults,

and I'm not gonna perform on
command.

If you would like to hear my
accent,

you are more than welcome to
come to one of our rehearsals.

- You won't perform on command.

Just what do you think an
actress is?

I'll tell you what, nothing
more than a trained monkey.

- Well thank you for your
invitation,

but you will have to excuse me.

- I'll be right back.

- My patience is wearing very
thin.

- Kate?

Kate!

What do you think you're playing
at here.

- Jackson, she's horrible.

I'm not gonna stand there
and be abused, I'm sorry.

- She's investing in the film.

Apparently you need a lesson
on following the money.

She can have whatever she wants.

- Not my integrity.

- If you leave now,

you're seriously putting your
job at risk.

- Good night Jackson.

- Lovely dinner.

- Please talk some sense into
her.

- Kate?

- Are you going to berate me, as
well?

- No.

Not at all.

I actually came to compliment
you.

- On what?

- Standing up for yourself.

That was quite impressive.

I don't know that many
people would have been

so courageous with the person
in control of their job.

- Courageous, or just stupid?

Well, thanks.

- Would you like to have
dinner with me, sometime?

- Like a date?

- Yeah.

- You don't like me.

- That's not true.

- It is, you think I'm not
talented

because I didn't go to
some fancy drama school,

and I haven't been in
a million famous plays.

Oh, and I shouldn't be
playing Lizzy Bennet,

because I'm American.

- Well yes, I do think that such

a beloved English character

should be played by an English
woman with a natural accent.

- And?

- It's just easier sometimes
to act with someone

when they've had similar
training.

- So you don't want to
be challenged by someone

who has different experiences
than you?

Okay, got it.

- But, I've become very
impressed with you.

You've worked hard.

And I know the accent
is still an issue but,

I've never seen someone

put so much effort into their
character.

I find it very admirable.

- Did you say something
to Ben about Julia?

He seemed to like her
before you got involved,

and now he just ignores her.

- I thought Julia may have
thought she'd get ahead,

by giving him attention.

So yes, I said something to him
about it.

- Huh, and Will?

- What about him?

- Are you gonna admit you
stole a part from him?

- I've never stolen a
part, I've earned them.

- He said you spread rumors

to the director of The
Metamorphosis

that he would miss rehearsals

and he might leave the
show without notice.

- That's not what happened.

No he got upset after he was
cast,

because he didn't realize
beforehand

that his pretty face would be
covered up

for most of the play in a bug
suit.

He quit on his own, Kate.

- Okay, so you don't enjoy
acting with me,

because you think I don't
know what I'm doing.

You've been nothing but rude to
me,

and now you're taking me to
dinner?

- I'm sorry I asked, okay?

So let's just carry on
disliking each other

for the next six weeks
we have to work together.

- That's exactly what I intend
to do.

- Have a wonderful night, Kate.

[soft acoustic guitar]

- [Liam] Kate, it's Liam.

I'm sorry to call you so late.

I don't know if you're not
answering

because you're made at me

or if you're just asleep but,

I feel like I have to defend
myself

regarding your accusations
involving Will.

I've known him for a long time.

He's always used his
looks to try to get ahead.

He cares more about himself and
his image

than the character, the
production, or the people
involved.

I understand why you'd be angry
with me,

and I promise to leave you alone
but,

please, for your sake,

don't trust him.

- Hi lovelies, I just
wanted to give you guys

a quick update after our
first week of rehearsals.

We've been working really hard,

and actually last night we had a
dinner

with one of our investors.

Turns out she's not thrilled

that I'm playing the role of
Lizzy.

I guess that just means I have
to

really make sure my accent is
perfect

when she comes to rehearsals
next week.

But anyway, I'd better get to it
so,

all right my darlings
remember to follow your dreams

and make them a reality.

Love you all.

- Kate!

- Oh Sarah, how are you?

- I am doing very well.

You know, for such a small town,

they have a wonderful collection
of shops.

- That's great.

- Now Kate, don't mean to butt
in,

but all work and no play
makes for a boring girl.

Now, I know you're
under a lot of pressure,

but I really think you should
pull yourself together.

- Well.

- No excuses.

- I know but I.

- No excuses, you really
need to try a bit harder.

- Sarah, I am, I don't know why
this is so difficult for me.

- Well, okay, but perhaps you'd
like a little help from me.

- Oh, that would be
wonderful, do you mind?

- No, of course not.

What woman doesn't need a
bit of help, now and again?

- Oh, thank you so much.

I could use all the help I could
get.

- Oh darling girl, you're so
lovely.

Any man would be happy to have
you.

- Thank you, that's very
sweet of you to say,

but about your help, do you
mind?

Do you have time now?

- Oh good, you need to come with
me.

- Can we work on it here?

- Well if you want me to find
you a man,

we shouldn't be here.

I mean, we need to go mingle.

- Oh, wait a minute, I
thought you were talking about

helping me with my accent.

- Oh no Kate, I'm talking
about finding you a man.

You're getting older dear,
and you're still single.

- Sarah I--

- Oh, I know, I know,
you're here to act not date,

but you could miss out
on the right opportunity

to meet the right guy.

- Sarah, I appreciate that you
care,

but I really need to focus
on getting this accent down.

- Oh.

- But, I promise to keep an eye
out

for Mister Right if he shows up.

- Oh good, I'm so glad
we had this little chat.

Anyway, I'd better run.

I will see you bright
and early in the morning.

- Bye.

- Toodles.

- Marriage, Lizzy are you quite
serious?

- I would not joke about such a
thing.

- Whatever did you say?

- Jane, he's the most deplorable
man

I've ever met in my life.

What else could I say but no?

- How did he take the rejection?

- His pride was hurt,

I'm sure, knowing his arrogance
but,

more than that, I cannot say.

- What did you give as your
reasons?

- His distaste for my station,

his dislike of our family,

his ill-treatment of Wickham.

- What did he say of Wickham?

Did he deny the allegations?

- He did.

He claims that Wickham
seduced his younger sister,

and planned to elope with her.

Darcy found out and put a stop
to it

by cutting him off entirely.

- Lizzy, do you really think
that's the truth of it?

- I'm not sure.

And now that I've heard both
sides of it,

I don't know who to believe.

- Should we tell father?

I can't imagine he would allow
us

to walk into town with Wickham,

if he knew the allegations,
especially our little sisters.

- No, we do not yet know the
truth.

- Cut.

- Take a look at this.

- I'm doing terrible.

- No no, you're just a little
rusty from your day off.

- I've been working on it.

- This is unacceptable Sophie.

She can't go around talking on
her channel

about the production, and
the person investing in it.

- Have you thought of
asking Liam for help?

- What, why?

- It's unacceptable.

- You need to calm down,
it's not that much--

- I am calm.

This is me, calm.

Do not tell me to calm down.

- You just seem to do really
well when he coaches you.

- I don't know if that's such a
good idea,

it might be kind of awkward.

- Look, I know he's said some
things

that were quite mean but.

- No no, it's not that it's,

he asked me to dinner and I said
no.

- When?

- Um, after the cocktail
party with Philippa.

- Well things are starting
to make sense now.

- Like what?

- I just noticed he's been
watching you

quite a lot recently.

- Probably critiquing my acting.

- No, not that.

- That's the end of it.

Kate, can we see you in the
office please?

- Okay.

- Awkward or not, it
might be your only option.

- Take a seat, Kate.

Philippa has some business

that is taking her to
New York for the week,

but she'll be back on Friday
to come to rehearsals.

- I'll be ready, I promise.

- Kate, I'm more concerned
about this at the moment.

- Really hard, and actually last
night

we had a dinner with one of our
investors.

Turns out she's not thrilled

that I'm playing the role of
Lizzy.

I guess that just means
I have to make sure

my accent is perfect.

- I don't understand
why you'd post a video

disparaging the production,

and the person investing in it.

- I didn't mean to.

I just posted a video
about what I was doing

with my life, that's what I do.

- You're lucky Philippa hasn't
seen this.

You need to take it down.

And from now on if you post
anything about the production,

or anybody involved in it,

it must be done so in a positive
light.

- So you want me to lie?

- No, we don't want you to lie.

- Kate look, you have to
understand.

Your channel is a marketing
tool for this film,

and by speaking ill of it, you
put its success in jeopardy.

- Spencer needs to see you for a
fitting

before this afternoon's
rehearsal.

- Okay.

- It's a very nice color
on you, don't you think?

- Yes, you've done quite the
job.

- Oh Kate, honey, your dress
is in the back of the screen.

Go in and change so I can check
the fit.

- [Kate] Sure.

- Stop fidgeting.

Why do you seem so anxious?

I am not gonna stick you with
pins.

- Sorry.

- Oh Kate.

Not to compliment my own
work, but you look beautiful.

Come over here in the mirror.

Almost a perfect fit on the
bodice,

just a few more places to be
adjusted,

but you look absolutely
gorgeous.

Liam, doesn't she look gorgeous?

- Yep.

- Well then, tell her that,
silly man.

- You look beautiful.

- Thanks.

- My goodness Liam,

I hope you'll be more
convincing on screen.

- Can I get out of this, now,
please?

- No, just wait right where you
are,

let go get my phone and
take a picture for Sophie.

- You do look very pretty.

- Thank you.

You look really nice, as well.

- Really?

- I may need to ask you a favor.

But feel free to say no.

Mister Collins, will you
please pass me the water?

- [Liam] Water.

- Water.

- Water.

- Water.

- No, softer, make a www
sound with your lips.

No, I think you just
need to relax a little.

- I know what will help with
that,

and it's not water.

- Water.

You bought this used, I assume?

Looks like it's been read about
100 times.

- [Kate] Probably mostly by me.

I got it for my 13th birthday.

- Wow.

You're quite the Austenite.

- Of course.

Aren't you?

- No.

- Are you serious?

You're playing Mister Darcy,
and you don't love Jane Austen?

- Well, I don't love her,

she's fine, it's just,

romance stories for women.

- It's not just romance stories.

She understood human
nature and relationships

better than anyone else I've
ever read.

- Well that is quite the
endorsement.

I guess I'll have to
give her a try some day.

- You've never even read her?

Oh, now I need this more than
anything.

- I just never got around to it,
I guess.

To Miss Austen.

- Thank you for doing this.

You really didn't have to.

- My pleasure.

- If I don't get this right,

I think they're gonna fire me.

- I don't think so.

The accent may be a struggle
but,

your acting's really good.

- Really?

- Really.

- Well, you've just seen me in
rehearsal,

we'll see how it ends up on
screen.

- Well if your Watch It
videos are anything to go by,

you'll probably be pretty great.

Yep.

Okay I've watched your channel.

I was very dismissive about
it in the beginning but,

I was wrong.

- Wow.

Thank you.

- You know their not
actually going to fire you.

They need you.

I don't want to hurt your
feelings but,

they are counting on your
subscribers for the box office.

- I know.

It's the main reason they hired
me.

- You knew?

- Of course, but, I really
appreciate you telling me.

- I didn't want you to worry
about it.

But, we should get back to it.

- Water.

- That said, let's try something
easier,

like wine.

- Wine.

- Perfect.

- See, that sounds the
same in both accents.

- See, easier.

- Hi lovelies, I know it's a
little late,

but I wanted to give you a quick
update.

Everything is going great.

Everything has really
turned around this week.

The cast is friendlier,
my accent is improving,

and I really feel like
it's all gonna work out.

Yeah, I can't do this.

I can't lie.

When I made this channel,
I promised to be authentic,

and not sugarcoat how
hard this was gonna be,

and to be honest everything
is really a mess right now.

I made the producer angry
by posting my videos.

That investor is not happy with
me.

The girl who plays Caroline
hates me,

and I'm still working on my
accent.

But the one good thing is my
accent is actually improving.

The guy playing Darcy,
Liam, he's helping me.

I'm probably gonna get in
trouble

for posting this video
but I have to be truthful.

Please remember to follow your
dreams,

and always be true to yourself.

And I'll try to remember that,
too.

I've never been happier
than at this moment,

my darling husband.

- I'm very pleased to hear so.

A lovely wife.

- And tell me, are you happy?

- Let's see,

I married a woman whose beauty
is matched

by a lively mind, and a
courageous spirit.

No man has ever been happier.

- Well, I've seen enough for
today.

- Let's go to the office
Philippa,

I'll make you a cup of tea.

- I guess we're done for the
day.

Go have an early night.

- You did an amazing job, today.

- Really?

The accent was okay?

- Oh, it was perfect actually.

You were perfect.

- I really appreciate you
spending

all your free time with me this
week.

I wanted to make you feel
like it was worth it.

- I've never seen someone work
harder to achieve something.

I'm very impressed.

- Thank you, that means a lot.

- Also I,

I wanted to say that,

I'm really sorry about
what I said that night.

I mean I shouldn't have--

- It's okay.

We'll pretend it didn't happen.

Friends?

- Friends.

Would you like to grab something
to eat?

As friends?

- Thanks, but I was actually
gonna run by wardrobe

and see how my dress is coming
along,

now that, I'm convinced I'll
actually

get a chance to wear it.

- Next time then.

I'll see you at rehearsal.

- Yeah, I'll see you then.

- I'm gonna have to start all
over,

you have very different
proportions than Kate.

- What is going on?

- Kate, honey, I'm so sorry.

They just told me today

I had to fit Emilia for your
costume.

- I can't believe this.

- There's more to acting
than just fixing your accent.

Looks like Philippa finally
realized

you just lack the talent.

- Sweetheart it's okay,
you'll get another role.

- Yes, maybe they'll recast you.

Although considering the accent
problem,

it'll probably have to
be a background role.

- Excuse me.

- So how about some numbers,
Jackson?

- We're looking at another 20
thousand

for the other location,

plus we have to get local hire
extras.

Kate?

- Why are you recasting
me, I got the accent.

- Jackson, take care of this.

- I warned you about the videos,
Kate.

- But you said if I
performed to your standards,

I wouldn't get fired.

- Yes, but we would if you
jeopardized

the production's reputation.

- And those videos of
yours most certainly do.

- I was just being honest.

- And it's going to cost you.

- I'm very sorry, Kate.

[Kate sobbing]

- Oh Kate, what's wrong?

- They're gonna recast me with
Emilia.

- But you got the accent.

- I know, that's what I said,
but Philippa

doesn't like my Watch It videos,

because I won't lie.

- I'm so sorry.

I wish there was something I
could do.

- It's okay.

I know we didn't get
off on the right foot,

but I'm glad I got to know you,

and thank you for all your help.

- That was my fault.

The bad start.

- You made up for it.

- Jackson?

Sophie?

Philippa, I need to talk, oh.

Excuse me, I should have
knocked.

- It's fine, I was just
on my way out actually.

- See you tonight for a drink?

- I wish I could but
I have lines to learn.

Maybe tomorrow.

- You should thank your
lawyer for negotiating

such an ironclad contract.

Lizzy wasn't the only
role I wanted to recast.

- I have a proposition for you.

- Hi loves, well I got the
accent,

and I'm so proud of myself.

But the investor got upset

with some of the videos I've
posted,

and it looks like I'm gonna
be replaced as Lizzy Bennet.

It was fun while it lasted.

Even though it was hard, it's
the most fun I've ever had.

I'm not giving up.

I'll get another role.

Hi, Sophie?

I don't understand.

- Congratulations everyone.

We've made it to the
last day of rehearsals.

Give yourselves a big round of
applause.

Just one small change to the
cast

before we start shooting next
week.

Mister Darcy will now be played
by Will,

and Liam will now be taking
over the role of Wickham.

Let's take five, and we'll
begin today's rehearsals.

- Can you believe it,
we're completely shocked.

- I don't know what's happening,

I thought they were gonna
replace me with Emilia.

- Looks like she thought so,
too.

- And you want her with
her fake British accent,

to be bringing us and
our entire lives down.

- Right, yes, coffee, cream,
no sugar, and three biscuits.

Sorry Kate, cookies.

- When did this happen?

- He texted me a couple of days
ago.

I didn't want to say anything,

because I was worried he
would lose interest, again.

- Did he explain why he ignored
you?

- He apologized.

He said he wasn't sure I liked
him.

But apparently Liam talked to
him.

He said it was probably because
I'm shy,

and he should try again.

- Really?

Liam?

- Liam.

- Okay guys, and action.

- Once again.

Darcy.

- Mister Bingley's proposal to
Jane.

May I assume you are
responsible?

- That was all for you.

My feelings for you
have remained unchanged.

One word from you and they
shall be silenced for good.

- Your Aunt?

- She was here.

- She asked me to promise

never to enter an engagement
with you.

- Yes, I know,

and your refusal to do
so has given me hope.

Yeah, I hope.

- Mister Darcy I am now and
fairly yours.

- And cut.

It's getting late guys,

I'm sorry to do this but,

if we're gonna be ready by
Monday,

we're gonna have to work
through the weekend.

- Do you like it?

- The accent sounded good.

- Really?

I am hoping Liam will
still help me even though--

- He probably will.

He really respects your work
ethic.

- I'll ask him.

- And Kate, I'm sorry.

I didn't want to recast you and,

I'm really happy you're still
our Lizzy.

- It's okay, I understand.

I know you were in a tough spot

with Philippa and Jackson.

- That's very generous of you,

but I should have been more
honest.

- I appreciate that.

And I'm looking forward
to starting filming.

- Everything okay?

- Fine.

He says he's tired after
a long day of rehearsals.

I'll check on him in a bit.

- I hope you thanked Liam
properly,

for what he did for you.

- What did he do?

- Are you stupid?

He's the one that made
the deal with Philippa.

He gave up his role to Will,

if she let you keep your role as
Lizzy.

- I had no idea.

- You've got him wrapped around

your little finger don't you?

- It's not like that.

- Well, don't get used to it.

I will be Lizzy.

[knocking on door]

- Hi.

- Hi.

Can I come in?

I'm sorry about what happened.

- Hmm, that's just business for
you.

You never know what's
going on behind the scenes.

I just feel bad for you.

- Why?

- You get to play opposite Will.

- Liam, I know you sacrificed
your role

so I could play Lizzy.

- Who told you?

Emilia?

- How'd she find out?

- She's been cozying up to Will
lately,

and I guess he told her,

and then she confronted me
about it after the announcement.

- I can't believe you
would do that for me.

But I'm sorry I can't accept it.

I'm gonna step down as Lizzy.

- No, Kate this is your chance,

to become a professional,

with the role of your dreams.

And you worked so hard, please.

Let me do this for you.

- It's too generous.

No, this is your chance

to make your big break in
American films.

I can't let you do that for me.

[screaming]

What was that?

- William you--

[confused yelling]

- We were just rehearsing.

- And what scene do Caroline and
Darcy

share in their pajamas?

- Please, I am so sorry.

I promise, Will told me that you
two--

- What sort of idiot do you take
me for,

you silly little girl?

- You're both fired.

- Oh Philippa, come on,
it was just a mistake.

- Jackson get the production
assistant

fitted for Wickham's uniform.

And find me an actor who
can pull off an accent

to play Caroline.

[Emilia whimpering]

- You, you're back on as Darcy.

- Only if Kate still plays
Lizzy.

- Fine.

- Really, even though
I posted those videos?

- Well your champion here
convinced me

that a little bit of
controversy would be good

for ticket sales.

Jackson.

- Hi loves, well it's
the last day of filming

Pride and Prejudice.

In a few minutes, we're
actually gonna shoot

our last scene for the day.

I can't believe we made it.

- [Brad] Kate, Kate.

- Hey Brad, yeah get in here,
come here.

You guys remember Brad,
our Mister Wickham.

- I hope all of you lovely
ladies

will go to the cinema to see
this film.

- And here is Ben and Julia.

Still together, how long has it
been?

- About six weeks.

- Two months for me.

I fell for her, the moment I saw
her.

- And they are as disgustingly
cute in real life,

as their onscreen counterparts.

Here's Liam, still wearing his
headphones.

He finally told me why he wears
them.

It helps him block everything
out

and focus on his character.

Oh, yeah of course.

- Hi subscribers, I hope
you remember seeing me.

I play Missus Bennet.

- Oh I'm sure they remember you.

- You know, I've been thinking
Kate,

now that Brad is a real actor,

perhaps you should make a play
for him.

- And on that note, we're
gonna end the episode, yeah.

- Kate, Liam, over here.

- Okay, now I really do need to
go.

I am so sad this is coming to an
end,

but I'm so excited to see
how it's all gonna turn out.

Well, wish me luck,

and remember, keep following
your dreams.

Let me thank you,

in the name of all my family,

for the generous compassion
which induced you

to take so much trouble,

and bear so many mortifications

for the sake of finding them.

- If you will thank me,

let it be for yourself alone.

the wish of giving happiness
to you might add force

to the other inducements that
led me on,

that I shall not attempt to
deny.

Your family owes me nothing.

Much as I respect them, I
believe I thought only of you.

You're too generous to trifle
with me.

If your feelings are still
what they were last April,

tell me so at once.

My affections and wishes
are unchanged but,

one word from you will silence
me on this subject forever.

- My feelings have changed.

- No, I must confess that I
admire

and love you most ardently.

- Cut.

[upbeat orchestral music]

Keep rolling.
