Wentworth.
-Charles.
-Hello, old fellow, how are you?
I didn't expect to see you here.
Where are you staying?
We must go shooting one day, if you have time.
-Mrs Musgrove.
-Captain.
1
Father, this is Captain Wentworth.
He is related to our tenants, the Crofts.
Captain, this is my father,
Sir Walter Elliot, baronet.
Yes and my eldest sister Elizabeth.
-Thank you, we are acquainted.
-Captain, please.
Well.
I am charged.
That is to say the Admiral, Admiral Croft, has been confidently informed... that Mr
Elliot... That everything is settled now in your family for a union between yourself
and Mr Elliot. It was added that you were to live at Kellynch, and my commission
from the Admiral is to say that, if the family's wish is such, his lease at Kellynch shall
be cancelled and he and my sister will provide themselves with another home. That is
all.
What answer shall I give?
Sir...
You will please thank the Admiral on my behalf, but I must tell you that he is utterly
misinformed.
Misinformed?
-Utterly?
-Yes, Captain.
Quite mistaken.
-No truth in any part of it?
-None.
And I should be grateful to know the source of such fanciful rumours.
As to that...
(KNOCKING AT DOOR)
Lady Russell is here.
Do you remember Lady Russell, Captain?
2
How could I forget?
Anne, I received your note.
Miss Elliot, if you'll excuse me I shall convey your news to the Admiral.
-Good day.
-Captain.
Is it true? Mr Elliot has proposed?
If you'll excuse me, Lady Russell,
I must speak with Captain Wentworth.
Captain Wentworth.
Mrs Musgrove.
Anne.
What a delight.
Excuse me.
Anne, I must speak with you.
Must it be now?
Anne, I must ask.
Is it true Mr Elliot has asked you to marry him?
-Yes, but...
-Anne, I hope I give no offence, but I can never forgive myself if I did not acquaint
you with Mr Elliot's real character.
-I only hope I'm not too late.
-Good heavens, Harriet, what is it?
Mr Elliot is a man without heart or conscience.
A designing, cold-blooded being who thinks only of itself.
His recent reconciliation with your father was no accident.
He had heard a rumour in London that Sir Walter Elliot might be led to marry his
daughter's companion.
-Mrs Clay?
3
-The very same.
And should she provide him with an heir, of course, the child would inherit
everything, instead of Mr Elliot.
-But he is already rich.
-Of course.
He married his poor wife for money and nothing else.
But what he now desires above all is to be a baronet.
He cannot bear the thought of not being Sir William.
Well, why, then, would he wish to marry me?
Oh, his admiration for you is sincere, as far as it goes.
Although it has not prevented him from courting Mrs Clay at the same time.
-No.
-Indeed.
He has promised to establish her as his mistress in London, as soon as he is married
to you. There is nothing he would not do to prevent your father marrying again.
I am profoundly grateful to you, Harriet.
But now if you'll forgive me, I must go.
-Captain Harville.
-Miss Elliot.
If you have come to call upon the Admiral and Mrs Croft, I must disappoint you.
They went to take the waters with Captain Wentworth.
But since you are here, you may save me some time.
Captain Wentworth bade me bring this note to you in Camden Place.
Perhaps you would take it now.
-Thank you.
-Are you quite well, Miss Elliot?
Thank you.
Then if you'll excuse me,
I'm already late for an appointment.
WENTWORTH: Miss Elliot,
I can bear this no longer.
4
You pierced my soul. I'm half agony, half hope.
Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant.
I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost
broke it eight years ago.
I have loved none but you.
You alone, who brought me to Bath, for you alone, I think and plan.
Have you not seen this?
I can hardly write.
I must go, uncertain of my fate.
A word, a look, would be enough.
Only tell me that I am...
Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone forever.
Why, Miss Elliot, you just missed Frederick.
He has just gone to call upon you at Camden Place.
Anne.
-Charles.
-Anne, good heavens, is anything the matter?
Anne.
Thank you, Charles, I'm quite...quite well.
You look quite done for.
We shall have to get you home directly.
The thing of it is, I ought to be in the marketplace now.
A fellow there promised me the sight of a capital gun he's just sending off.
Said he'd keep it unpacked till the last possible minute.
If I do not cut along now I shall miss out.
You know from his description, Wentworth, it sounds a good deal like that 1 6-bore
Mortimer of mine you shot with that day round Winthrop.
Do you remember?
(CHARLES CHATTERING)
Captain...
Captain,
I am...I am in receipt of your proposal and am minded to accept it.
Thank you.
Are you quite certain?
5
I am.
I am determined.
I will.
And nothing, you may be sure, will ever persuade me otherwise.

D=
Forgive me. I hope you’re feeling better.
E=
I am, thank you. Will you not sit down?
D=
In vain I have struggled. It will not do! My feelings will not be repressed. You
must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you. In declaring
myself thus I’m aware that I will be going expressly against the wishes of my
family, my friends, and, I hardly need add, my own better judgement. The
relative situation of our families make any alliance between us a reprehensible
connection. As a rational man I cannot but regard it as such myself, but it
cannot be helped. Almost from the earliest moments, I have come to feel for
you... a passionate admiration and regard which, despite my struggles, has
overcome every rational objection. I beg you, most fervently,
to relieve my
suffering and consent to be my wife.
E=
In such cases as these, I believe the established mode is to express a sense of
obligation. But I cannot. I have never desired your good opinion, and you have
certainly
bestowed it most unwillingly. I’m sorry to cause pain to anyone, but it
was unconsciously done, and I hope will be of short duration.
D=
at
And this is all the reply I am to expect? I might wonder why, with so little effort
civility, I am rejected.
E=
I might wonder why, with so evident a desire to offend me, you chose to tell me
that you like me against your will, your reason, and even against your
character! Was this not some excuse for incivility if I was incivil? I have every
reason in the world to think ill of you. What could tempt me to accept the man
who has ruined the happiness of a most beloved sister? Can you deny that you
have done it?
6
D=
I have no wish to deny it. I did everything in my power to separate my friend
from your sister and I rejoice in my success. Towards him I have been kinder
than towards myself.
E = It’s not merely that on which my dislike of you is founded. Long before, my
dislike was decided when I heard Mr Wickham’s story of your dealings with him.
How can you
defend yourself on that subject?
D=
Such interest in that gentleman’s concerns!
E=
Who that knows of his misfortunes, can help feeling an interest?
D=
His misfortunes! Yes, his misfortunes have been great indeed!
E=
And of your infliction! You have reduced him to his present state of poverty, and
yet
you can treat his misfortunes with contempt and ridicule!
D=
And this is your opinion of me? My faults by this calculation are heavy, indeed.
Perhaps these offences might have been overlooked, had not your pride been
hurt by
the confession of the scruples which long prevented my forming serious
design on you.
Had I concealed my struggles and flattered you. But disguise of
every sort is my abhorrence. Nor am I ashamed of the feelings I related. They were
natural. Did you expect me to rejoice in the inferiority of your connections? To
congratulate myself on the hope of relations whose condition in life is so below my
own?
E=
You are mistaken, Mr Darcy. Your declaration merely spared me any concern
for refusing you, had you been more gentlemen-like. You could not make me the
offer of your hand in any way that would tempt me to accept it. From the
beginning, your manners convinced me of your arrogance, your conceit, and
your selfish disdain for the feelings of others. Within a mounth, I felt you were
the last man whom I could ever marry!
D=
You’ve said quite enough, Madam. I perfectly comprehend your feelings... and
now have only to be ashamed of what my own have been. Please forgive me for
having
taken up your time... and accept by best wishes for your health and
happiness.

LA CANZONE DI ROMEO
Pe' arrivarce qui da Roma Ho fatto l'autostop. E in
Francia E' già 'n bel pezzo che ce sto. Ma pure da
emigrato, Mica so' cambiato. Io so' Romeo, Er mejo
del Colosseo Io fermo nun ce sto, proprio nun me va
Se domani qui sarò, Oggi chi lo sa? Forse un pocho
m'acchitterò E me ne andrò in città! E poi laggiù
qualche scena farò E ogni gatta che me vedrà, dirà:
Miao! Ma che ber micione, Che simpaticone Quel
Romeo Er mejo del Colosseo! Si cambio so' guai Sto
bene come sto Non mi lego mai Catene nun ce n'ho,
Aggregate si voi Dio solo sa dove finirai In Cina, in
Perù o a Timbuktu, ma non beccaglierai Vedrai... Chi
tante storie fa A pregar nun sto Tutto quello che me va
9
Con un gesto c'ho Penso sempre che l'avi miei Tra
ruderi e mausolei Sapevano già fasse rispettà E
considerà da noBBili... ...e pleBBei Se tanto me dà
tanto, Godo e me ne vanto D'esse' Romeo, Er meglio
del Colosseo Avrò il busto al Pincio E al museo Eh
già.
