Pride and Prejudice

Mr. Darcy How are you this evening, my dear?

Elizabeth Bennet Very well... Although I wish you wouldn't call me "my dear".

Mr. Darcy [chuckle] Why?

Elizabeth Bennet Because it's what my father always calls my mother when he's cross about something.

Mr. Darcy What endearments am I allowed?

Elizabeth Bennet Well let me think... "Lizzy" for everyday, "My Pearl" for Sundays, and... "Goddess Divine"... but only on very special occasions.

Mr. Darcy And... What should I call you when I am cross? Mrs. Darcy?

Elizabeth Bennet No! No. You may only call me "Mrs. Darcy"... when you are completely, perfectly, and incandescently happy.

Mr. Darcy Then how are you this evening... Mrs. Darcy? [Kisses her on the forehead] Mrs. Darcy... [Kisses her on the right cheek] Mrs. Darcy... [Kisses her on the nose] Mrs. Darcy... [Kisses her on the left cheek] Mrs. Darcy... [Kiss her on the lips]
