- Rev. Elton: Were I not an old married man, I should gladly do the job. But my dancing days are over.
- Emma Woodhouse: [Seating herself in a carriage] My, this weather...
- Rev. Elton: Miss Woodhouse, please! Fate has left us alone for a reason.
- Emma Woodhouse: Mr. Elton! Why do you seize my hand!
- Rev. Elton: I do not seize your hand so much as the opportunity to tell you that I am hoping, no, fearing; ready to die if you refuse me!
- Emma Woodhouse: Good heavens! Go back!
- Rev. Elton: Surely my ardent attachment to you, my love and devotion cannot help but have made an impression!
- Emma Woodhouse: Mr. Elton! It is I, Miss Woodhouse!
- Rev. Elton: Mm hmm.
- Emma Woodhouse: The party spirits have confused you! Allow me to deliver your message to Miss Smith, but you must direct no more of it to me.
- Rev. Elton: Miss Smith? What sort of message would I want to send to her? Miss Smith?
