you've got it completely wrong.

I'm not in love with him.

How could I be when I'm...

seriously heartbroken

and smitten with someone else?

Someone else?

- You, Bridget.

- Me?

Ever since I saw you here

with your hair messed that night

and bits of garden stuck to you.

You must have noticed.

I try to hide it,

but every time I see you, I light up.

I thought you were just, you know...

...lying.

Was every look I ever gave you a lie?

I've been looking forward to this.

Lovely to see you, Bridget.

Thank you very much.

That was lovely.

Really lovely.

But I'm afraid it's still men

in general,

and Mark Darcy in particular,

that I love.

Right.

Lf, er, if I ever do decide to, um...

you know, bat for the other side...

...well, there's no-one else.

Only you.

- Hello, Giles.

- Hello, Bridget.

Open up your eyes

Then you'll realise

Here I stand with my

Everlasting love

Need you by my side

Girl, to be my bride

You'll never be denied...

Inns of Court, please. Fast as you can.

What do you think of this jacket?

- Yeah, very nice indeed.

- No, be honest.

What do you think of the whole

jacket/trouser combination?

- Disaster.

- Actually, can we take a tiny detour?

I'll be back in literally two seconds.

Where life really flows

No-one really knows

Till someone's there to show

The way to lasting love

Need a love to last forever

Need a love to last forever...

Oh.

You're the first

The last

My everything

And the answer to

All my dreams

You're my sun

My moon

My guiding star

My kind of wonderful

That's what you are...

- You look gorgeous.

- Thank you.

Very important at this moment.

There's no way

They could have made two...

Doesn't matter. It's not about looks.

- Your love I'll keep for evermore

- As I was saying.

You're the first...

Excuse me, I'm looking for Mr Darcy.

Down there, right along the corridor,

and just to the left.

Thank you very much.

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh no no

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh no no

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh no no

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh no no...

I love you.

I always have and I always will.

Oh, um...

I don't love you,

and I never have, and...

...I never will. Sorry.

Come in.

Hello, Bridget.

Hello, Mark.

Er...

I'm sorry, I'm disturbing you.

- Well, yes, a bit.

- I'll just...

sit outside while you finish.

No, no, no, please,

say what you have to say, young lady.

Mr Santiago

is the Peruvian Secretary for Trade.

And Mr Hernandez is his number two.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello, hello, hello.

How can we help you, young lady?

Well, er...

Er...

I just wanted to tell Mr Darcy here

that I heard what magnificent work

he actually did

releasing me from prison.

Tiny, tiny misunderstanding to do

with an enormous stash of cocaine.

And I also wanted to say,

since having found out that his

girlfriend is actually a lesbian...

...that I love him.

Always have. Always will.

And that I'm...

...you know...

...available for dates...

...if he should feel so inclined.

So, er, your girlfriend is a lesbian.

Look, if you'll all just excuse us

for a second...

I think we should...

Bridget, that was not the most romantic

proposition I've ever heard.

Well, maybe it is romantic

because it's not. I mean...

I know there's no music playing,

and it's not snowing,

but that doesn't mean that it,

that it can't really be something.

You're right.

In fact, there's a question

I've been meaning to ask you.

All right. As long as it's not

"Will you marry me?"

Oh, God.

It is "Will you marry me?"

Well, I'm not gonna say it now.

- Is it "Will you marry me?"

- The moment's gone.

No. No, no, no. No, wait.

Wait.

- Bridget.

- Start again.

- No.

- Start again.

I'm not gonna... It's...

We've just stepped out

into the corridor,

you say "I've got a question to ask you"

and I don't say anything.

And... And...

You say...

Bridget Jones, will you marry me?

Dearly beloved,

we are gathered here this day

to unite this couple.

Do you affirm your love,

one to the other?

I do. Again.

And Colin?

I do. Again.

As well. Of course.

I've been really tryin', baby...

December 31st, year-end summary.

Prison stays, one.

Lesbian kisses, one.

Pounds lost, minus one.

Boyfriends lost but then regained

following major diplomatic incident,

one.

Marriage proposals, one.

An excellent year's progress.

Bridget Jones has cocked things up

for the very last time.

Your love is king

Crown you in my heart

Your love is king

Never need to part

Your kisses ring

Round and round and round my head

Touching the very part of me

It's making my soul sing

Tearing the very heart of me

I'm crying out for more

Your love is king

Crown you in my heart

Your love is king...

So, as you can see,

I have found my happy ending at last.

And I truly believe

that happiness is possible.

Even when you're 33 and have a bottom

the size of two bowling balls.

Your love is real

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh no no

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh no no

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh no no

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh no no

I look and stare so deep in your eyes

Touch on you more and more every time

When you leave

I'm begging you not to go

Call your name

two, three times in a row

Such a funny thing for me

to try to explain

How I'm feeling

and my pride is the one to blame

'Cause I know I don't understand

Just how your love can do

what no-one else can

Got me lookin'so crazy right now

Your love's got me lookin'so crazy

right now

Your love's

Got me lookin'so crazy right now

Your touch got me lookin'so crazy

right now

Your love's

Got me hopin'you'll page me right now

Your kiss got me hoping

you'll save me right now

Lookin'so crazy

Your love's got me lookin'

Got me lookin'so crazy in love

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh no no

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh no no

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh no no

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh no no...

Hearts gone astray

Deep in her when they go

I went away

Just when you needed me so

You won't regret

I'll come back begging you

Hmm

Won't you forget

Welcome love we once knew

Open up your eyes

Then you'll realise

Here I stand with my everlasting love

I need you by my side

Girl to be my pride

You'll never be denied

everlasting love

Hearts gone astray

Deep in her when they go

I went away

Just when you needed me so

You won't regret

I'll come back begging you

Won't you forget

Welcome love we once knew

Open up your eyes

Then you'll realise

Here I stand with my everlasting love

Need you by my side

Girl to be my pride

You'll never be denied

everlasting love

From the very start

Open up your heart

Feel that you fall in everlasting love

Need a love to last forever

Need a love to last forever

Need a love to last forever

Need a love to last forever
