      I must admit that I did create some similar, although briefer, dialogue to accompany a dance scene with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle in the excellent BBC Pride and Prejudice back in the 90's.

    • @martm216
      @martm216 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I once imagined a similar one while watching the superb BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. When Darcy (Colin Firth) ask Elizabeth (Jennifer Ehle) whether she would do him the honour of the next dance and she says, 'I thank you, no', I imagined him saying, 'To be followed by a damn good seeing-to in one of Bingley's upstairs chambers'. And she replies, 'I thank you, yes.'

    Lyrics from Spring, Spring, Spring. 7 Brides For 7 Brothers film.
    From his eerie, the eagle with his eagle eye
    Gazes down across his eagle beak
    And a'fixin' his lady with the legal eye
    Screams "suppose we fix the date this week!"
    Yes, siree, spring disposes
    That it's all one supposes
    It's a real bed of roses
    Waggin' tails, rubbin' noses.
    Each day is Mother's Day
    The next is some other's day
    When all is King
