Game the Second: P&P Trivia Quiz {1}

This week is brought to you a trivia quiz to test and exercise your knowledge of P&P95, focusing on but not limited to Episode 1. (And though that sounds dull and scholarly, I do hope it will be fun as well. Heehee.)

As this blog abounds in information about P&P95, I must remind you to be Good Girls and play completely from memory even though it might be too easy to spot some of the answers in places. ;) That being so, it would be best to take the quiz all at once, but if there’s one question that’s really bugging you and you know you might remember it later, without any help, (this happens to me a lot) feel free to skip it and answer it later. But each question may only be answered once for this game.

A total of 17 points can be obtained. I will be checking your answers, commenting with your scores and noting any you didn't answer & might wish to come back to. The answers will be accepted through Friday, December 14th and the following day the answers and player scores will be posted.

Multiple Choice

1. Who is the very first character to speak?
a. Elizabeth Bennet
b. Mr. Darcy
c. Mrs. Bennet
d. Mr. Bingley

2. When is the first time Mr. Darcy asks Elizabeth to dance (in the movie, of course)?
a. The party at Lucas Lodge
b. The Meryton Assembly
c. The Netherfield ball
d. One of the evenings at Netherfield while Jane is ill

3. How long is P&P?
a. 2 ½ hours
b. 4 hours
c. 5 hours
d. 6 hours

4. How many episodes are there in P&P?
a. 2
b. 4
c. 5
d. 6


Yes or No

5. Is Elizabeth dancing in the first scene during the ball at Meryton?



6. In the movie Elizabeth says “I am determined that nothing but the very deepest love will induce me into matrimony.” Is this quote in the book? (Now, I know it’s a bit tricky to be asking a question connected with the book, but most P&P95 fans have a knowledge of it, and I happen to like in-the-book-not-in-the-book trivia. If I am a wild Beast, I cannot help it. It is not my own fault.)

7. In the book, when Mrs. Bennet reproaches Kitty for coughing (“Don't keep coughing so, Kitty, for heaven's sake! Have a little compassion on my nerves. You tear them to pieces.”), Kitty responds “I do not cough for my own amusement!” Is Kitty’s quote included in the movie or not?

Write-in

8. How many inches deep in mud did one of Mr. Bingley’s sisters declare Elizabeth’s petticoat to be when she arrived at Netherfield?


9. And from the previous question, which sister was it who made the remark about the mud?

10. What is the very first line Elizabeth utters?

11. “Well, my dear, if Jane should die of this fever, it will be comfort to know it was all in pursuit of Mr. Bingley, and under your orders.” –Mr. Bennet
What was Mrs. Bennet’s exact response? (No cheating, now! Play from memory here! ;) )

Multiple Points Question

12. Where does each episode end? As in, what is the last scene of each episode? (If I was asking this question for the 2009 Emma, for example, I would say that Episode 1 ended right after Emma and Mr. Knightley’s argument about Harriet and Mr. Martin.) 1 point will be awarded for each correctly guessed episode ending.

4.b
5.Uhh...no?
6.No. (At least, I don't think so.)
7.Yes
8.Six
9.Mrs. Hurst
10. I'm just guessing here, but is it "Truly a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."
11. Okay, now I' m really guessing, but I think it's something like "Nonsense! People do not die of
little trifling colds!"
12. The first one ends after Lizzy and Jane leave Netherfield, the second ends after Lizzy refuses Darcy's proposal, and I' m not sure about the third. The fourth one ends at the end. (That one was easy.)

What fun! Let's see how I do, haven't seen P&P'95 in almost a year.

1) d. Mr. Bingley
2) a. The party at Lucas Lodge
3) c. 5 hours!!!
4) d. 6
5) Yes
6) No, I don't think it is?
7) No, I don't remember her saying anything of the sort, she just sort of sits there and coughs!
8) 6 inches.
9) Mrs. Hurst?
10) Hmm...
11) "People do not die of little trifling colds!" or something along those lines.
12) I'm afraid this question is for the more advanced P&P'95 fan and I'll have to pass.

Well, I shall be quite embarrassed when my score is published! I need to watch it again with my sister.

Caroline L. said...

Oooo, goodie! A quiz!

1. d. Mr. Bingley

2. a. Lucas Lodge (though he doesn't technically ask her to dance here...Sir William tries to force them together and Darcy is rather *wink* willing, so perhaps Netherield Ball would be a better answer?)

3. c. 5 hours

4. d. 6

5. Yes

6. I'll say...yes. It's a similar/rather abridged version of something she says in the book.

7. Yes

8. "6 inches deep in mud"

9. Louisa

10. "Coming, Mama." Such a good girl.

11. "People do not die of trifling colds!"

12. They all end with credits rolling and the theme song.

Oh, that won't give me any points? Very well then. #1: Lizzy and Jane are leaving Netherfield after Jane has been sick. #2: Mr. Collins has just departed from Longbourn and Mrs. Bennet is sobbing into her handkerchief. #3: Mr. Darcy has just left Elizabeth after failing miserably at a proposal to her. #4: Lizzy and Darcy are gazing at each other as she and her aunt and uncle drive away from Pemberley. #5 Lizzy is wishing that she had never told Mr. Darcy about Lydia's elopement, and we see a (rather creepy!) image of him for a moment. #6: the moment we've been waiting for 5 hours to see.

Miss Marianne said...

Margaret Hale,
You have 8 points! You were so very close on #11 that I decided to give it to you. ;)

Kiri Liz,
You have 11 points. :) I loved your answers on #7 and 8!

Anne-girl,
You have 12 points. :) Feel free to come back to #11 if you happen to remember the answer.

Miss Laurie,
You have 8 points. You were really close on #11 but two words were missing, so it wasn't quite exact. Remember that for #12 you can get a point for each correct guess, and there should be at least one that is really easy to remember. ;) *hint, hint*

Caroline L.,
You have 15 points! Great job! You were quite close on 11 but two words were missing. And about 6, you have made me quite curious. I don't suppose you'd like to email me so we can discuss this further? ;)

Kate said...

1. d. Mr. Bingley
2. a. The party at Lucas Lodge
3. c. 5 hours
4. This is a hard one, because my DVD doesn't divide it into episodes. I'm going to say d. 6
5. No.
6. Yes.
7. Sort of. Not word-for-word, but the same idea.
8. 6 inches. And it was Caroline.
9. I wondered why you didn't mention who it was. As aforementioned, it was Caroline.
10. "Coming, Mama."
11. People don't die from trifling colds!
12. Episode 1 ends as Jane and Elizabeth leave Netherfield after Jane's illness. Episode 3 ends after Darcy's first proposal. Episode 5 ends as Elizabeth and the Gardiners leave Pemberly after their surprise visit. Episode 6 ends with the double wedding.

Miss Marianne said...

Katy-Anne,
You have 10 points! :) Thanks for playing!

Miss Laurie of Old-Fashioned Charm said...

Okay, I'm going to try a couple of the episodes.

12. The last episode ends with the wedding of Jane & Bingley and Lizzy & Darcy.
It is Episode 4 that ends with Mr. Darcy's first proposal being rejected by Elizabeth? I know one of them does and then the next episode starts with Darcy writing Lizzy "the letter".
*sigh* I'm probably totally wrong.

11. so close? is it "Young ladies do not die of little trifling colds!" ??? Ha! I probably just typed the same thing as before. :(

Thanks for putting this quiz together, it was fun!

2. c was of his own free will. However if you include a polite rejoinder to Sir William Lucas' request as asking Lizzy to dance then a) is the answer.
3. c
4. d

6. Yes
7. No
8. SIX!!! (Shock horror)
9. Caroline Bingley
10. "Coming, Mama!"

Episdoe Two: Mr. Collins is leaving Longbourne after his failed proposal. The final scene is Mrs. Bennet waving goodbye and weeping.
Episode Three: Darcy has just proposed to Lizzy and she refused him. The final scene is an upset Lizzy in the Collins parlour.
Episode Four: Lizzy has just met Pemberly and a much changed Darcy. The final scene is Lizzy turning back to have a last look at Mr. Darcy from the carriage.
Episode Five: Lizzy is brooding on what might have been with her and Darcy. The final scene is Mr. Darcy appearing in Lizzy's mirror to quote some lines.
Episode Six: A double wedding. The final scene is The Kiss.

Miss Marianne said...

Jane,
You have 10 points. :) Oh, and just a little hint-- you may want to reread question #11. I don't think you understood it right, so if you have another answer I'll accept it.

Elinnah dear,
(Er, Miss Dashwood, that is)
You have 16 points! :D Good job! And your answer for 11 was excellent. Heehee.

Anonymous said...

I'm going to try for No. 10, the one I left and I'll say that the first line Lizzy utters is "Coming Mama"....I think! :)

Dee

Miss Marianne said...

Yes, Dee, you're right. :) Now you have 9 points.

Miss Laurie,
You got one of your answers right for #12, so now you have 9 points. Haha, I think I was confusing you about 11... your first answer was exact, just not quite complete. There was a very short sentence before the one you quoted. ;)

Jane B said...

Ah, I see. I re-read question 11 and realised I read MR Bennett instead of MRS Bennett.
Well, as far as I remember, I don't think Mrs Bennett said anything in reply, maybe a kind of hmp or perhaps I'm thinking of another similar conversation.
Anyway, just say that she says "hmpf" or something to that effect.
