Marrying Mr. Darcy Page #6

---

You forgot the dance floor.

Dance with me?

Ok.

[phone rings]

I'm- I'm sorry, darling.

I have to take this.

Ok.

Hello?

I know you're with Elizabeth

and can't talk but the Louvre

might approve an after-hours

visit for your honeymoon.

The director must

speak to you right away.

I understand.

Elizabeth, I need to go

and speak with Brendan.

It might take a while.

You carry on here

without me?

Ok.

Elizabeth.

Before we move on

to other choices,

I'd like to revisit this china.

Aunt Violet, believe me.

I appreciate you helping us

with the wedding

but I don't need you to second

guess me every step of the way.

That wasn't my-

I want those napkins,

that stemware, this silverware,

these candle sticks,

and those chairs.

I think we're finished here.

Well done.

Hey, Zara.

What's wrong?

Remember how I wanted to go

to Montreal in August

to study French?

Mmmhmm.

Donovan says I'm too young.

I'm 17.

I think he's just

being protective.

Overprotective.

I know that's how it feels

for you,

but he loves you and he just

wants you to be safe.

Do you want me to talk to him?

Would you?

As soon as he gets here.

Oh, hi, buddy.

Are you the cutest?

Are you the cutest?

Oh.

Thanks, Linus.

I'm sure Mr. Darcy

will be here soon.

[phone rings]

Hello?

Hey.

Hey, it's me.

Look, I'm- I'm really

swamped here.

So I'm not going

to see you tonight?

I know, I'm so sorry.

I know we were supposed

to go out tonight

to celebrate your

new teaching job.

I just have so much to do here

and I haven't even started

on the prep

for the ground

breaking tomorrow.

Will you forgive me?

Of course.

I understand.

I just miss you.

I miss you, too.

I'll see you tomorrow

at the ground breaking.

I love you.

I love you.

At least you like spending time

with me.

Do you want to come with me to

the ground breaking tomorrow?

[laughs]

I'll bring you.

A puppy always makes

everything better.

On behalf of the Darcy

Foundation

I'd like to thank you all for

coming out in this fine weather

we've got and welcome you

to the future site

of our first after-school

recreation center

of Westchester County.

When the center is completed

it will provide the young people

of this community

with activities and programs

that will enrich their lives.

I thank you for joining us

and I look forward to

welcoming you back to

the completed building.

[applause]

Kids, what do you think?

Smile?

Oh, you can do better than that.

Let me introduce you

to Elizabeth and Jax

the wonder dog.

I know he may not look

like a wonder dog but he is.

His superpower is that

he makes everybody smile.

Wanna see how it works?

[singing]

Row, row, row your boat,

Gently down the stream,

[dog singing along]

Merrily, merrily, merrily,

merrily,

Life is but a dream

[barking]

Look good?

Alright.

Thanks, guys.

Hey.

See? Jax is just what we needed.

He's a sweetie, but I'm thinking

of giving up on his,

uh, dog show training.

Can't force him to be something

he's not.

Plenty of show dogs

in the family,

he can just be a love dog

and a singer.

The foundation is doing

so much good.

I can see how happy you are

here today.

It makes me almost as happy

as you do.

Are you sure you can't do

this full-time?

Do what full-time?

Oh, uh, the Darcy Foundation.

I've been encouraging Donovan

to take a step back

from Darcy Enterprises to spend

some more time with the charity.

But there's always been a Darcy

at Darcy Enterprises.

Well, I think it's time

that things change.

You're not seriously

considering this.

You are needed.

Henry knows almost as much about

running the business as I do.

So you have been

considering this?

You can't consider this.

The good of the company

is at stake.

Well, I think this is about

Donovan's own good.

He spends his days and his time

with the company

but his heart is

in the foundation.

Violet, the decision

isn't about you or me,

it's about how Donovan is gonna

spend the rest of his life

and I'm gonna support him

no matter what

and I hope that you can,

too.

This isn't something that needs

to be decided today,

but it is something that I'm

considering after the wedding.

There'll be plenty of time

to discuss it.

Hello there, Jax.

And hello, Miss Scott.

We were very impressed with you

in the boardroom.

You were?

I'm sorry I referred to you

as ninth graders.

[laughs]

My wife laughed when I told her

what you said.

I want to show you

my rescue dog, Linnet.

Awe.

Yeah, I would love to have Jax

over for a play date,

after the wedding of course.

That's in a week, isn't it?

Six days.

We would love to.

Great.

Right, Jax?

Well, that went well.

It did, didn't it?

Wanna grab some lunch?

I wish I could but I really have

to get back to work.

Do you really have to?

We keep missing each other

and I promised Zara that

I would talk to you.

Zara?

It's about the Montreal program.

She's really disappointed that

you won't let her go

and it's a really great

opportunity for her.

It won't hurt her to stay here

one more summer.

Besides, she's too young.

She's 17.

I went to a great history

program in Boston

when I was her age.

You know, she's also not as

grown up as she thinks she is.

She is more grown up

than you think she is.

You need to encourage her

to pursue her interests,

not stop her.

You need to take her feelings

into account.

Elizabeth, I really think

I'm right about this.

Let her stay here in town one

more summer where you and I,

and Aunt Violet,

can look after her.

[message alert]

I really do have to get back

to work.

I know I've been working

a lot lately,

but I promise it won't always

be this way.

Hey.

Hey.

Are you alright?

Did something happen

at the ground breaking?

It went fine.

Then what's wrong?

I'm worried that Donovan

might be pulling away.

You know that's not true.

I don't know.

We used to spend so much

time together.

We'd walk the dogs, make dinner,

dance...

now I never see him.

I'm afraid he's more interested

in spending time at work

than with me.

Henry says he's super busy.

Lizzy, Donovan adores you.

What do you think, Bliss?

Hmm?

This is my favorite moment:

when we see the bride

in the finished dress.

Oh, oh, Lizzy!

Oh...

Splendid. It's even more

than I hoped.

Wow.

What do you think, Lizzy?

It's something out of a dream.

You look like a princess.

Then why don't I feel like one?

Oh, thank you.

It's worth every penny.

And I don't look anything

like me.

Elizabeth?

Is everything ok?

No.

Can we talk?

Of course.

This wedding is starting

to feel wrong.

The guest list is huge,

my dress is way too much

and they're are all these

expectations and I-

Ok, ok.

Just talk to me.

Why can't we just be two

ordinary people who are in love?

That's what we are.

We're two people with 200 guests

at our wedding.

Ok, so- so what're you saying?

We can elope.

We can get into a car and go

to a justice of the peace
