Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason
Script - Dialogue Transcript
Voila! Finally, the Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason
script is here for all you quotes spouting fans of the movie based on the
Helen Fielding book starring Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, etc. This script is a transcript that was painstakingly
transcribed using the screenplay and/or viewings of Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason. I know, I know, I still need to get the cast names in there and I'll be eternally
tweaking it, so if you have any corrections, feel free to
drop me a line. You won't
hurt my feelings. Honest.
[Bridget] Another year,a brand new diary.Once again l was summoned,kicking and screaming,to my mother's turkey curry buffet,where l've had some of the mostshaming experiences of my life.- [doorbell]
- Hello, darling.
- Lovely to see you.
- [Magic Moments plays]
lt was, as usual, crammed fullwith some of the most dangerous pervertsin the UK,disguised as close, personal friendsof my parents.
- Hello, Bridget.
- Hello, Una.
- Oh, no, thanks.
- Love the jumper.
- l prefer what's underneath it.
- Uncle Geoffrey!
- Hello, gorgeous.
- Hello.
- Hello, darling.
- Hello, Dad. How's it going?
l wish l was dead.
[Bridget] But this year,there was one crucial difference.
- Nice jumper.
- My mother's taste never falters.
Never.

[ Minnie Ripperton: Loving You][Bridget] Who cares aboutthe odd professional hiccup?l've been in a functional relationshipwith an adult malefor six wonderful weeks,four fabulous daysand seven precious hours.Or to put it another way, ecstatic shags.He's given up being snooty,and l've given up smoking.- Loving you...- Well, he thinks l have anyway,which is practically the same thing. ...a dream come true...[Bridget] Mark Darcy is perfect.Not a fuckwit, alcoholic, workaholic,pervert or megalomaniac,but total sex godand human rights lawyer.He is a miracle, really.
- Bridget, will you stop?
- [record scratches]
Stop staring at me.
Go and find something to do.
Sorry.
[song starts up again] La la la la la...[Bridget] So, as you can see,the incredible truth isthe wilderness years are over.Bridget Jones is a love pariah no more.
[bell]
Morning, Bridget. Late again.
[sighs] Yes. Sorry.
l was in bed with my boyfriend.
He's a human rights lawyer, you know.
Yes, we know.
l cannot believe how fantasticshagging was last night.Maybe l'll ring him.No, no...Obviously it's important to tell one'sboyfriend how nice he looks naked,but l have crucial,Pulitzer Prize winning journalism to do.[speed dialling, ringing][Mark] Hello?
lt's me. Just wondered how you are.
l'm fine, thanks.Everything all right with you?
[whispering] Fine, though, er,...
l've just had a rather graphic
shag flashback.
And you do have
a genuinely gorgeous bottom.
Thank you.
l'm with the Mexican ambassador,
the head of Amnesty lnternational
and the Undersecretary
for Trade and lndustry.
And you're on speakerphone.
Oh. Right, well...
l'm quite busy
with important stuff too...
Bridget, we're waiting for that tape
about Tom, the happy hamster.
- [Mark] l'll call when l've finished.
- Excellent.
And Richard wants to see you
about that crap skydiving report.
[whispers] Oh, fuck.
Oh, dear. ls this the end of my career?No, it can't be.l will fight this. l am a journalist ofthe highest standards and integrity.[tape whirs][on tape] This is Bridget Jonesreporting from a big vat of excrement.
Look, l never said l could skydive
and l'm terrified of heights,
- so it was really hard to concentrate.
- Be quiet. They loved it upstairs.
Loved it. And they want us to come up
with another regular spot for you.
[laughs] Oh, my God. That's...
- l won't let you down, Richard.
- Precisely.
...my friends'motto was ''When in Rome,do as many Romans as you can.''But if your tastes are marginallymore highbrow, l also have tips.Forget the Forum,definitely forget the Coliseum,no fun now they can'tslaughter Christians.Forget the Sistine Chapel, first exampleof a poof interior designer gone mad...
What is Daniel Cleaver
doing on the television?
lt's called The Smooth Guide.
''Making culture bearable''.
...equally serene and equally beautifulProfessore Giovana Dabrache.who is about to show me her diptych.
Same old creep. [chuckles]
Oh. Shame.
He always speaks very warmly of you.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
How about we go out
for a bite to eat tonight?
Oh. Can't.
l have to go out with my boyfriend.
- He's a human rights lawyer.
- l know.
l'm meeting him for a romantic supper.
- [mobile rings]
- Oh.
- Bridget Jones.
- Bridget, it's Mark.
Oh. l was just talking about you.
l'm running late.
Do you want me to cancel?
- Oh. No, that's fine.
- Are you sure?
Be as late as you like.
Chuck him, while you're not pregnant
with his unwanted child.
l only said he was working late.
ln one hour, he'll be coming
in his secretary's mouth
while he rings to say
what he wants for starters.
[Bridget] Friends spend yearsfinding you a boyfriend,then instantly tell you to dump him.
Even if he isn't shagging her already,
he's thinking about it.
A man dating a woman with large breasts
will bed one with small breasts.
Rubbish. Mark's above all that nonsense.
Jellyfisher alert. Jellyfisher alert.
[Bridget] Janey Osborne.Talking to her is like swimming in a seaand being stung repeatedlyby an enormous jellyfish.
Bridget. How's it going
with that divine man of yours?
You must be so pleased
to have a boyfriend at last.
First jellyfish of the evening.
ls he taking you
to the Law Council Dinner?
Oh. Well, l'm sure he's just forgotten.
Better start slimming into that dress.
He's given you the night off
to cheer up your single friends. Sweet.
Actually, he's got a big case on, trying
to get everyone in Mexico out of prison.
We're meeting for a very late
romantic dinner.
Really? That's so odd,
'cause l saw him an hour ago going
into his house with Rebecca Gillies.
She's only .
She's got legs up to here.
And Daddy owns half of Australia.
See ya, babes.
Who is Rebecca Gillies? What's she doing
going into my boyfriend's house?
Where he never asks me.
And with legs up to here?
- My legs only come up to there.
- [Jude] You have fine legs.
Climber's legs.
l say go over there and ask him,
straight out,
are you or are you not
sleeping with Rebecca Gillies?
- [Shazzer] lf he says...
- l won't dignify that with an answer...
Then you know he's shagging her.
All that l haveis all that you've given...[Bridget] lt's all about confidence andtrust. Mark would never betray me.Everything will be lovelyand we'll have sex in the kitchen.
- Oh, God.
- [woman inside] l'm coming.
Oh, Godl What is that?
[woman] Two seconds,
l'll be straight down.
Who is that? ...l find you lied And l can't believe it's true Wrapped in her armsl see you across the street l see you across the street And l can't help but wonderlf she knows what's going on You talk of loveBut don't know how it feels When you realise You're not the only one
[Mark] Let's get on with it.
...oh, you better stop- Stop- Before You tear me all apart You better stop- Stop...
- You are a very demanding man.
- ...you go and break my heart...
- [Bridget yelps]
[chuckles] Bridget Jones.
No, l'm Bridget Jones.
- [chuckles] That's what l meant.
- You must be...
Rebecca Gillies. l've been
so looking forward to meeting you
- after everything Mark's told me.
- Why? What's he said?
- Where is Mark?
- Actually, er...
- [Mark] Becky, who is it?
- Becky?
- Right.
- Great.
- Right...
- Bridget.
Hello, Mark.
[laughs nervously] Hello...
lawyers who work with Mark.
[all] Good evening.
Everything under control, l see.
Um... Excellent graph.
- Lovely legs.
- Thank you.
[lawyers chat]
l am so sorry.
l thought...
Oh, l don't know what l thought.
Now you're really angry with me.
- No, l'm not.
- lt's OK, you can say if you are.
- lt's not the end of the world.
- l'll get you a glass of wine.
The thing is l ran into Janey Osborne,
who said she'd just seen you
with this girl, with really long legs,
and Shazzer and Jude said
l should get over here straightaway.
Following the orders of the dating
war command, you executed a raid.
- You are angry.
- l'm not, just disappointed.
Disappointed?
Oh, God, that's worse than angry.
l'm just disappointed
l can't take you home this instant.
Oh. [chuckles]
What about all those lawyers?
Oh, plenty of time to butter them up
at the Law Council Dinner next Friday.
Don't want to go, do you?
l'd love to.
Oh, stupid Bridget, stupid friends.Wonderful, loyal Mark Darcy......who loves mejust the way l am.
[birdsong]
[Bridget pants]
- [Mark] What are you doing?
- Getting dressed.
Why are you dancing around in that tent?
[sighs] Because l don't want you to see
any of my wobbly bits.
That's pointless, because l have
a very high regard for your wobbly bits
in all circumstances.
- Really?
- Absolutely.
l think it's high time
we had another look.
Yeah Are you digging on me? Yeah l'm digging on you, now, baby Yeah Do you want a little bit of my love? Yeah...[Bridget]He really is very, very, very nice. All the time l knew That you loved me And you promised me...
l miss you too.
That you would be my only man Yeah Are you digging on me?[Bridget] l've never been happierin my entire life.However, must not obsess or fantasise.Bridget Darcy.Mrs Darcy.Mr and Mrs Darcy.Lord and Lady Darcy.Wonder what Mark Darcywould be like as a father.To his children, l mean, not to me.That would be a weird,Oedipus-like thought.At last, life is on track.Bridget Jones.: fiancée, wife...mother.
Bugger.
[man] Ever fancied doing it in the dark
with a total stranger?
All right, perhaps not a total stranger.
Back off, Cleaver, or l'll report you
to a sexual harassment tribunal.
l'm a serious journalist.
ls that your most serious skirt, Jones?
Oh...
Do you like it?
l thought you hated television.
l hate watching television.
Being on it is... Hello there.
...entirely different.
Daniel, thought the Madrid piece
was outstanding, really original.
Cheers, Jeremy. Appreciate that.
We had to work really hard on that one.
Tosser. Talking of which,
how is Mark Darcy?
- You still...?
- Yes, l am.
And l intend to be for a very long time.
Good. You know what a fan l am
of any woman married to Mark Darcy.
- That's not funny.
- Seriously, though, Jones,
speaking purely unselfishly,
l worry about you.
You do know that it's a fact that
most lawyer's wives die of boredom?
And what about you?
Still shagging anything that moves?
As a matter of fact, no.
No shagging whatsoever.
l'm in shag therapy.
lt turns out l have a problem. l go
to meetings, talk about my feelings.
Hug people who smell.
- l don't believe you.
- l'm trying...
...to be a better man, Bridge,
so that the next time
a better woman comes along,
l won't make a pig's ear of it.
Daniel. Meeting?
Yeah, yeah. Thanks.
Very good hair, Jones.
By the way, um, you're not free
for dinner tonight, are you?
No, l'm not.
l'm going to the Law Council Dinner.
lt's a very important evening.
[ Kylie Minogue:
Can't Get You Out Of My Head]
l can't wear that.
Bridge, do you want to get married and
have babies before you become barren?
Trust me...
[Bridget] Magda.: my only grown-upfriend. Married to Mark's partner.She actually got engagedon the night of the Law Council Dinner.
Try it with the dress.
Oh, my God!
Remember, we are trying to reduce
your body size by per cent.
You hold the front, l'll hold the back.
One, two, three...
[Bridget whimpers]
- [Bridget shrieks]
- What's going on in there?
Not too bad, actually.
Tra-la!
Fantastic.
Right, let us begin.
l am going to make you into a princess.
Goody.
[Bridget] Nothing like beingin the hands of a total genius.
[whooshing]
Wow.
- [Jude on phone] Whatever you do...
- Bugger it.
...don't iron your hair.
[Jude] lt's a lot worse than l thought.
We could flatten it with Brylcreem.
What about a wig? Lawyers love wigs.
- l preferred you in the gold.
- No, whatever you do, not the gold.
Great. l'm late with mad hair and can
barely breathe in scary knickers.
La la laLa la la la la...[Bridget] Oh, God. l'm very worried.What if someone says ''Bridget Jones,get out of here, you are ridiculous''?Stop it.The most important thing, of course,is to look absolutely wonderfuland make a magnificent entrance. l just can't get you out of my head...
[chatter]
[violins]
Hi. Sorry l'm late.
- Hello.
- l think you should go to the ladies.
But l went before l left home.
Trust me on this one.
[gasps] Oh.
Not good.
[thinks]All right, tiny make-up mistake,but l always have wit and conversationto fall back on.
Thank you.
- Bridget.
- Hello.
Derek, Horatio, Camilla.
- Horatio?
- Yes, Horatio.
Horatio was just saying
he's totally against charitable giving.
[laughs]
- What?
- Well, obviously you don't mean it.
Absolutely. Do you think it's helpful
to give a beggar fifty pence?
- Maybe he's just hungry.
- Don't be so naive.
The people you see outside the tube
every day are there by choice.
- End of story.
- Oh, no, it's not.
Some people
have terrible personal problems,
and other people might have lost their
family in some tragic ferry disaster.
And some people are just plain hopeless.
Honestly, this is the sort of rubbish
you'd expect from fat, balding
Tory, Home Counties,
upper-middle-class twits.
[music stops]
- [chatter resumes]
- [laughs uneasily]
[violins, chatter]
How did l do?
You seem to have made
quite an impression.
l've put you next to Giles Benwick.
- Oh, l'm not sitting next to you?
- No. He's terribly nice,
but his wife's just run off
with one of the partners.
He probably won't mention it,
but you should know.
l always knew she was out of my league.
You see, there's the high-fliers,
like Annabel and Mark Darcy
and there's the gorgeous girls,
like Rebecca there
and there's the rest of us.
Like you and me, you mean?
Absolutely.
l mean, look at the state of us.
You and me stumbled into the VlP room
by mistake
and it's only a matter of moments
before they show us the door.
[pounding]
My lords, ladies and gentlemen,
let the quiz begin.
[laughs] Oh, goody. l love quizzes.
All those years of playing
Trivial Pursuits are about to pay off.
Now l want to see your hands
poised over those bells. Ready?
Here we go. What are something
called ''customary freeholds''?
- [bell]
- [man] Superior copyhold.
[speaker] Yes.
What is the correct grace
used in the lnner Temple
for the second mooting night
of Michaelmas term?
- [bell]
- [man] Amas bibendo... fructis.
Jolly good.
What is an overreaching conveyance?
What is rack-rent?
When was breach of promise abolished?
Define ''damnum sentit dominus''.
Translate ''reddendo singula singulis''
into Ancient Greek.
l believe this is the answer.
[bell]
Hippodamoi credemnon louestai.
- [speaker] Absolutely correct.
- [applause]
[speaker] Now, for our final
and deciding round,
the category is contemporary culture.
[murmuring]
Who did the design
for Princess Diana's wedding dress?
- [bell]
- The Emmanuels.
- Correct.
- Excellent, Bridget.
Name the character in Footballers' Wives
who, in one memorable episode,
set fire to her own breasts.
- [bell]
- Chardonnay.
- [speaker] Correct.
- [applause]
At this point,
there are only two tables in contention
and only one question left.
What was the name of Madonna's
first UK single?
- [bell]
- [Bridget quietly] Lucky Star.
- [speaker] Sorry, l didn't quite hear.
- Are you sure?
- Wasn't it Holiday?
- No, everyone thinks it is,
but it's not.
My entire life has been leading up
to this very moment.
Take that knife, slice off my head
and boil it if l'm wrong.
The correct answer is Lucky Star.
- No.
- [groans of disappointment]
- The correct answer is...
- ls it Holiday?
- [speaker] Holiday, indeed, yes.
- [applause]
[speaker] The winners of
the nd Annual Law Council Quiz are...
the Legal Eagles.
[cheering]
- Lovely to see you, Bridget.
- Oh, thanks, Rebecca.
Good night.
[horn]
[Bridget]
Why didn't you speak to me all night?
[Mark]
That's the point of those dinners.
But you talked to Rebecca.
And you talked to Horatio.
l'll never fit in with your friends.
Not if you go on calling everyone
''balding, upper-middle-class twits''.
Well, they were balding,
upper-middle-class twits.
Except for the ones who had hair.
l suppose you agree with them
that poor people deserve to be poor?
Don't be ridiculous.
- So now l'm ridiculous?
- Yes, tonight you were a little.
Well, tonight you were an arrogant arse.
l think l may have
made a mistake inviting you
and your folding underpants
into my life.
Good night.
lf you had asked me tonight,
l'd have said no, anyway.
Asked you what?
- Bridget?
- [sirens nearby]
Asked you what?
[Bridget] Oh, God, l've done it.l've gone and done it.One minute, you're closer to someonethan anyone in the whole world,next minute,you're never going to see them again.[beeps][rings][Mark] lf you have a message forMark Darcy, please speak after the tone.[beep]
Hello, it's me.
l'm really, really sorry...
[buzzer]
Sorry, it's the door.
Don't go away, l have something
really, really important to say.
[buzzer]
- Yes, who is it?
- [Mark] lt's me.- Mark.
- Oh, right.
Er, just a moment.
l'm on the phone.
[alarm]
[laughs] You're outside.
Look, er,...
l'll ring you later.
Unless you've come to chuck me
once and for all.
ln which case,
bye and thank you,
and... sorry.
[buzzer]
Oh, God, please don't chuck me.
lf you have chucked me,
please change your mind,
l'll behave much better in future.
- [buzzer]
- On the other hand, if you haven't,
please behave better
next time we go out. Stuck-up snob.
[beep]
What do you want?
l'd like to come up.
You are, after all, my girlfriend.
Even though l shouted at you
and called you an arrogant arse?
Unfortunately, yes.
You see, the problematic thing is...
l love you.
W-what?
- l said l love you.
- l'm sorry, l missed that again.
l said l love you, for God's sake!
[all jeer]
All right, no need to shout.
l'll come down and let you in.
[all cheer]
You might be needing this in the future.
He said he loves me.
- [Tom] He said he loves you?
- He said he loves me.
- Right, where is he now?
- [whispers] He's in the bedroom.
Go back in there, Bridge,
and whatever you do,
act completely nonchalant.
Bridget, you're staring at me again.
Sorry.
Listen, l know this evening
didn't go exactly as planned,
but there was a very important question
l wanted to ask you tonight.
- Oh, really?
- Yes.
[takes deep breath]
l've actually been meaning
to ask this for quite some time.
l've just never really found
the right way to put it.
Darling Bridget...
...would you...
...like to go on a skiing mini-break?
Yes!
What the world...[Bridget] This is not just a mini-break.This is a holiday in heaven.Told a tiny lie about beingan extremely experienced skier.But, honestly, how hard can it be?
- Ah.
- Shall we?
[Bridget[l know l'm going to like skiing a lot.Very romantic, very relaxing.
- Bar going up.
- No. What? Why?
[Bridget whimpers]
Um...
Er...
Oh. Oh, God.
[whimpers]
Oh, God. Oh.
[groans]
Ah.
[screams]
Bridget.
Rebecca. What are you doing here?
- Didn't Mark tell you we were coming?
- No, he didn't.
lt was me who recommended the place.
- l've been coming since l was .
- Really?
[thinks] Three whole years.
Come on, up you get.
Come on.
- There you go.
- Are you all right?
Yes, fine, thanks.
- You sure?
- Why is Rebecca here?
Oh, God. Well, l mentioned
that we were coming
and she said why didn't they come too,
and l couldn't say no, could l?
Come on, you two, let's crack on,
shall we?
Actually, l mightjust sit this one out.
You head on.
- See you down there.
- You sure?
Absolutely. l'll be fine in a minute.
Right, l'll see you at base camp, then.
[thinks] Bastard.l can't believe he's left me.
Ooh.
Oooh.
[thinks] So, romantic getawayhas turned into lawyer's reunion.
Oooh.
l can't believewe're already into group holidaysafter only eight weeksof total, undisturbed sex.Wait a minute...No. Eight weeks?
lt couldn't be, could it?
Totally undisturbed...Oh, God. l'm pregnant.
[whines]
[screams]
And going to diel
[cheering]
[screams]
[screams] Oh, my God!
l can't see!
[screams] Big bump!
Get out of the way!
[screams]
Who's this? An eccentricbut exhilarating performancefrom a total unknown,who's now solidly in positionfor the bronze.
- [screams]
- [bell clangs]
[whines]
l would like a pregnancy test, please.
A pregnancy test.
lch bien, er, possibly...
mit baby.
Er...
Kinderl l am on back...
and he, er,...
maken ze lieben.
Er, with me.
[German] She's pregnant!
Oh, no! No, no, not pregnant.
[German] She's bloated.
- Condom?
- Nein. Nein, nein.
Maybe like this, but maybe like this.
[German]
l think her problem is psychological.
[German] There is nothing
a pill can do to help her.
l'm a girl and l met a boy.
Fraulein, and l met frau... boy.
And possibly now mit baby, uh-huh?
Right, moment of truth awaits.What if l am pregnant?l must try not to get hopes up too high.Boyfriend and baby seems just too lucky.
Bridget? l have been looking
everywhere for you.
l thought you'd broken a leg
or something... Oh, God.
- You're not...?
- l might be.
- What if l were?
- Well, l suppose l'd...
To be quite frank,
it'd be bloody fantastic.
l mean, if a little ahead of schedule.
- Are you really pregnant?
- Well, give it three minutes.
- What do you fancy? Boy or a girl?
- l dunno, it doesn't matter.
Although, l suppose l've always had
the fantasy of a son.
- Another Mark Darcy.
- Or maybe something like Huck.
Or River. Or some fabulous
Hebrew name like Noah.
Anyway, l could teach him
to play cricket and rugby
and visit him at Eton
on St Andrew's Day.
Eton?
Yes. The Darcy men have been going
to Eton for five generations.
Well, my son's not going to be
sent away from home.
Especially to some fascist institution
where they stick a poker up your arse
that you're never allowed
to remove again.
l see.
- l didn't mean you.
- No, of course not.
So what's the alternative?
Sleeping in his parents' bed,
breastfeeding until he's a teenager
and some progressive school, where the
day is spent singing Yellow Submarine?
Oh, you're absolutely right.
lt's madness to allow a child to enjoy
his education or live with his parents.
What is madness is to have a child
if his parents can't have a discussion
without one shouting at the other.
lt's negative.
- That's too bad.
- Yes, very sad.
Perhaps we should go out for lunch
tomorrow. Get out of the grump.
That's a good idea in theory,
but you made a family arrangement.
Oh, God.
[doorbell]
Darlings!
l've had the fabulous idea
of inviting your parents.
[Bridget] Another oneof Mother's culinary triumphs.- Everything in miniature.
- Mini treacle tart, Admiral Darcy?
No, no, thank you. The mini spotted dick
rather finished me off.
[polite laughter]
So, Mark, Bridget, when are you
two lovebirds going to name the day?
Bridget, you must want to hear
those ding-dong bells.
Well, we're certainly not thinking
about that yet. Are we, Bridget?
No. God, no.
Of course not.
[Mr Jones] Good.
Well, that's that sorted.
So, Admiral, out on the high seas.
How was it?
- Did you mean that thing you said?
- What thing?
- You know what thing.
- No, l don't know what thing.
The thing thing.
Now, let's see, there are any number
of things, um...
in an afternoon full
of all sorts of things,
so l, um,...
The thing where you said
you're not, um,...
That you're not,
not even thinking about, um...
What's the matter?
Let's get a drink.
l'm going to go to the loo,
then l'm going to come back.
And then we're going to be civilised.
[telephone]lf you have a message for Mark Darcy,speak after the tone.[beep]Mark, it's Rebecca. Are you there?Obviously not.Probably still out with Bridget.Um... Anyway, l hope lunchwith the parents went well.l'm sure you were dutifuland very polite, as usual.Er... Whatever. Anyway, look, maybegive me a ring when you get back.l thought l might pop roundfor a nightcap.But l suppose that's a silly idea.Bridget's probably there.
- Sleep tight.- [beep]
Oh, Christ, what now?
Are you or are you not having an affair
with Rebecca Gillies?
l won't dignify that question
with an answer.
Right.
All l did was go to the loo.
Bridget!
Bridget.
That's not your coat.
Oh, right.
Oh, Bridget, what are you doing?
l read you should never date someone if
you can think of three reasons not to.
- Can you think of three?
- Yes.
- Which are?
- Well, first off, l embarrass you.
l can't ski, l can't ride,
l can't speak Latin.
My legs only come up to here and yes,
l will always be a little bit fat.
And you, you fold your underpants
before you go to bed.
- Now, hang on, that can't be a reason.
- No, it's not a reason.
But you're not perfect either.
You look down your nose
at absolutely everyone,
and you're incapable of doing anything
spontaneous or potentially affectionate.
lt feels like you're waiting
to find someone in the VlP room
who's, who's so fantastic...
just the way she is,
that you don't need to fix her.
Bridget, this is mad.
Perhaps you've already found her.
Do you want to marry me?
Look, l...
You see, you can never
muster the strength...
to fight for me.
[Bridget] l can't believe l did that. What do l gotta doto make you love me? What do l gotta do to make you care?
[dog barks]
What do l gotta dowhen lightning strikes me Hmm And l wake to findthat you're not there? What do l gotta doto make you want me? Hmm What do l gotta do to be heard?
[siren]
And what do l saywhen it's all over, babe? Oooh-ooh And sorry seems to be the hardest word lt's sadSo sad Why can't we talk it over, babe? Always seems to me When sorry seems to be The hardest word [Bridget] Five weeks later.Weight.: pounds.Am enjoying a relationship with two mensimultaneously.The first is called Ben,the other, Jerry.Number of current boyfriends.: zero.Number of calls from ex-boyfriend.:[electronic voice]You have absolutely no messages.Not a single one.Not even from your mother.[telephone]
- Hello?
- Hello, darling.
- You haven't forgotten our lunch date?
- [Bridget] Of course l have.- l'm suicidally depressed.
- Don't be silly, Bridget.
Meet me at Debenhams at twelve o'clock.
Mum... l thought we were going
to have something to eat.
[Mum] Patience, please. l've got
a big surprise for you, darling.
- What?
- Don't say ''what'', say ''pardon''.
[shrill] Tra-la!
- What do you think?
- Oh, my God.
Daddy and l are getting married.
- You're already married.
- We're doing it again.
Reaffirming our vows.
You are going to be a bridesmaid,
and absolutely everything
is going to be lavender.
And when l say everything, l mean...
...everything.
[laughs]
Oh, God, l'm never going to get marriedand my sodding mum and dadare doing it twice. No more candlelightNo more romance- No more small talk...- [Bridget] Bloody know-it-all.New York.: the Big, Juicy Apple.The city that never sleepswith the same person two nights running.My favourite place in America, where Sex
And The City isn't just a programme,it's a promise.
[bell]
- [phone rings]
- [man] Morning, Rach.
Sorry.
Oh, cheer up, misery guts.
l have good news for you.
[chuckles] Sure, right.
What's the angle?
l interview some rocket scientist
while he looks through my skirt
with X-ray glasses?
No.
Although that is a bloody good idea.
No. The fact is The Smooth Guide
is doing very well with women,
but the network want us to cast
a wider net and use a Smooth Guide-ess.
Me? With Daniel Cleaver?
lt's the next logical step.
l think Thailand is first on the list.
No. l won't do it.
Not now.
Not in a million years from now.
- Excuse me?
- l am a top television journalist,
not some boorish bint in a bikini.
Really? Strong words from somebody
who doesn't know where Germany is.
- [sniggering]
- Who told you that?
Cleaver. He said he couldn't be expected
to go out with someone
who thought lran was David Bowie's wife,
and who didn't know where Germany was.
Daniel Cleaver is a deceitful, sexist,
disgusting specimen of humanity,
that l wouldn't share a lift with,
let alone a job.
Come on, Jones, there must have been
something you liked about me.
Come on, Jones, there must have been
something you liked about me.
Well,... you have a nice car.
And quite nice manners.
Outside the bedroom.
But that's about it.
And by the way,
l know exactly where Germany is.
The question is do you know the location
of your arsehole?
As a matter of fact, l do know the
exact location of my arsehole. And hers.
Oh, come on, Jones,
it was just a silly joke.
Not a very funny one.
- Go on, then.
- What?
Where is it? Where is Germany?
- Next to France.
- And?
And also Belgium,...
Poland. And it has a sea coast.
Which sea?
Oh, sod it. Now, look,
l think we should talk
about Finch's suggestion.
l am going to Thailand, Jones.
Wouldn't you like to be
my little Girl Guide?
Thailand?
- You'll shag before you leave Heathrow.
- l'll be perfectly fine.
l'm eschewing all men.
And cigarettes. And carbohydrates.
- We can't possibly let you go.
- On your own.
Oh, stop it, all of you.
l am a mature, sophisticated,
professional woman
and l'm going to Thailand
entirely on my own, thank you very much.
- [Shazzer] Fuck!
- Sorry.
- Fuckity fuck.
- Sorry.
[pilot] And now our final passengershavejoined us, we can get underway.
Someone's gotta be last.
- [crunching]
- [Bridget] Are we not sitting together?
Oh, fuck.
l don't think we're really
in a position to, um,...
...make a fuss.
Sorry. Hi.
- Sorry.
- [man chuckles]
[woman] What's our film?
What's your name? Mine's Clive.
- Er, Bridget.
- [Clive chuckles]
[pilot] Good afternoon again,ladies and gentlemen.We're about to offer a wide rangeof duty-free items.Details can be foundin your in-flight magazine.
[baby cries]
Wonderful people, the Thais.
Particularly the young ladies.
lf you know what l mean, eh?
- Oh, for heaven's sake.
- Come with me.
Come with me now.
- Where are we going?
- Just through here.
Thank you. This is worse than school.
lt really wasn't my fault.
lt's a fizzy drink, you know, itjust...
ltjust sort of fizzied over.
Couldn't bear to think of you back there
in slum class, Jones.
Graham, thank you. You are the best
air steward l've ever come across.
And if l may say so, the smartest.
Thank you, sir.
l thought you were there already,
doing research.
Fuck, no. l make it up as l go along.
lt's hours for this trip.
l need some in-flight entertainment.
Why don't you tell me, in detail,
about your school netball tour,
particularly the unsavoury incident
in the communal showers.
l didn't play netball.
Or go to a girls' school.
- Or have showers.
- Now that's just not true, is it?
- Let me start you off.
- No.
lf you're gonna be dull, l'm going
to plunge back into Mrs Dalloway,
and you know how she loves that.
Dirty, dirty bitch.
- [elephant trumpets]
- Here's a new thing That's gonna please ya Just a little town down in lndonesia Bangkok...[Bridget] Arrived Bangkok. Very hot.Relieved at last to throw myselfinto serious journalistic work.
Thailand has long called travellers
from around the globe
to take spiritual succour
and karmic rest.
For centuries, Western visitors
have been inevitably drawn
to some of Bangkok's oldest sanctuaries.
So true, Bridget. Even l,
fight it as l may, am no exception.
The moment l arrive here,
l almost feel an irresistible pull...
...to this. The Temple of Tranquillity.
lndeed, nothing symbolises Thailand's
extraordinary fusion of East and West,
of tradition and innovation,
better than this.
Fully body-to-body massage.
- Sawatdee kha?- Sawatdee khrab?
An incredible thing about Thailand
is the amazing traditional cuisine.
l'm going to taste kapaluk,
the ultimate delicacy.
Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck!
Oh, my God. My God.
Um... Er... Mmm.
How about a lovely locust?
l can't. No, no, l can't.
- They're delicious.
- [crunching]
Oh!
[Daniel] Now that is Ko Panyi, which is
the setting for a very famous Thai poem,
which l think you'd like very much,
Jones.
lt's all about a badly-behaved prince
who finds true love with a beautiful,
and as it happens,
very slightly overweight princess.
- You're teasing me.
- l never tease about poetry.
''Oh, Suvarnamali
Why can you not see that l adore you?''
''Why do you avoid and scorn me?''
''lf you cast me off and leave me
How should l live another day?''
And you thought all l knew of Thailand
was pussies and ping-pong balls.
- You wouldn't sleep with him?
- No, of course not.
Absolutely not.
But he is clever.
- Yes?
- And handsome.
He's also a dysfunctional,
fucked-up, middle-aged, lost boy.
Well, no-one's perfect.
[birdsong]
l didn't realise you were busy.
- He's young enough to be your grandson.
- l know. lsn't that great?
- [man yells]
- [ladies shriek]
Come on, guys, l've got a very special
treat lined up for lunch.
[Bridget]l'm getting rather fond of Jed,and l must say he has a genuine interestin Thai cuisine.
[Bridget] l wouldn't have thought
omelette would be big in Thailand.
- Or mushrooms, for that matter.
- [Jed] lt's magic.
lt is a magic mushroom omelette,
isn't it?
Well, that's awful.
There is nothing funny in this at all.
Although, thank God,
the mushrooms don't actually
seem to be working.
[ Primal Scream: Loaded] Just what is itthat you want to do?
Such lovely colours! [gasps]
We wanna get loadedAnd we wanna have a good time...
Beautiful Bridget! Beautiful Bridget!
Beautiful Bridget!
Bridget Jones!
[Daniel's voice, distorted]
Bridget Jones!
But, wait...
- [Daniel, distorted] Bridget Jones?
- What sound is that?
lt is Daniel Cleaver. [echoes]
[thinks]
How unutterably beautiful he is.
Jones, what the hell are you doing?
[Bridget] You are lovely colours.- l don't wanna lose your love...
- Here.
Here l am.
l think you're completely off your face.
- Hey.
- [Bridget groans]
- Bloody hell.
- [Bridget groans and sighs]
Oh... Oh, l'm an angel.
Oh. How lovely.
Glorious sand.
Oh.
l want to be naked.
- Naked as a baby.
- Come on, then, angel. Up you get.
[Daniel strains]
- All right?
- Mmm.
- [Daniel] How are you feeling?
- Completely embarrassed.
Don't be. You're charming on drugs.
ln future, just say yes.
Do you know, l never really understood
why you wanted to go out with me.
- lt seemed so unlikely.
- Come on. For God's sake.
You're sexy. You make me laugh.
At you, of course, not with you.
And you were,...
...incidentally,...
...the best shag...
...l ever had.
The best?
Aside from Simon Reade
in the fifth-form locker room, yeah.
Suppose l said you were pretty good too?
Pretty good?
Was l better than Mark Darcy?
By the way, is it true he always says
''l'm sorry, l think l'm going to come''?
- Who told you that?
- lt's common knowledge, isn't it?
Come on, Jones. Who gave who the hoof?
And why?
Let's just say
that we suffered
from a fatal incompatibility.
l have missed you, Jones.
l don't suppose
there's any circumstances
in which you would ever consider
thinking about trusting me again?
Absolutely not.
Well, l suppose l'll be getting back
to my little hut now.
Thank you very much, Daniel.
l had a nice time.
ls that the Big Dipper
or the little one?
l can never tell them apart.
Definitely the big one.
You can't see the little one
this close to the equator.
Oh, please.
You don't know about astronomy.
l most certainly do.
l'm passionate about it.
You know, Jones, if stargazing
is something that interests you,
then it has to be said that the view
from my balcony is quite outstanding.
Perhaps you'd like to come up
and have a little look?
l don't think so.
See over there? Along my arm.
That's it, over there.
That is Orion's Belt.
And next to that is a very sexy little
constellation called Ursa's Maiden.
Ah.
She's being very naughty
and trying to undo Orion's belt.
All right, what about...
that one?
Yes, well that is
a very, very famous star.
Um, right next to, of course, um...
[chirruping]
l don't know, some other fucking star
that's been there for years and years.
Seen one star, you've seen the lot,
that's what l say, Jones.
Different with girls, though.
Some girls...
...are special.
Are they?
l think so.
[ cc: l'm Not ln Love]
What is this special power
you hold over me, Jones?
And what about your therapy?
l think you might be it.
l'm not in love So don't forget it lt's just a silly phase l'm going through And just because l call you up Don't get me wrong Don't think you've got it made l'm not in love...
God, l hope you're wearing
those giant panties.
Please.
[smooching]
Please be wearing the giant panties.
Please. [gasps]
Oh, my old friends.
Oh, Daddy's home.
Did you miss me?
Because Daddy missed you. Yes, he did.
Wait.
Sorry.
Can l just have a minute?
Just a minute.
[thinks] Oh, God.Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God. Big boys don't cryBig boys don't cry Big boys don't cryBig boys don't cry...
[sighs]
- Everything all right?
- Yeah, sure.
Just a bit... nervous. [chuckles]
l mean, you see,
if l stay with you tonight,
well, it's definitely
the end of something...
important with someone.
Um, which has probably ended already,
- but perhaps...
- Bridge, Bridge Bridge, Bridge.
Doesn't everyone
deserve a second chance?
Hmm?
Except Hitler.
Well, he was very, very, very naughty.
[knocking]
What?
Nothing. Er, come back later, please.
Thank you very much.
[knocking]
Bridge, it's nothing.
Leave it. Leave it.
You made order for . .
Order for what?
Me.
. .
You know, l've had it up to here
with this hotel.
- lt's been cock-ups like this all week.
- [Thai girl] You Mr Cleaver?
Yesterday, you with Maria.
She say you big tipper.
[mumbles]
l mean, l'm up for it if you are.
Actually, no, that was stupid.
lt's just one little slip.
Don't let it ruin what was gonna be
a fantastic weekend shagathon.
- l don't want a shagathon.
- No, nor do l. Nor do l.
- You're right.
- You're looking for a weekend of sex,
- l'm looking...
- For more. l feel l can change.
- l absolutely can change.
- l need to change.
l can't believe l fell for it again.
Daniel, l really do think
that you should go and fuck yourself.
Or her. But definitely not me.
- Think- Think Think aboutwhat you're trying to do to me- Think- Think think Let your mind go...
l can't believe he made up
the sex therapy thing.
Doesn't matter.
l finally learnt my lesson,
and it's an excellent lesson
to have nailed.
- Fuck!
- What?
No fucking room in the fucking suitcase.
There's room in mine. Give me something.
Great.
- What the hell is this?
- lt is a fertility-snake bowl.
- Ooh.
- Jed gave it to me.
- Think think- Let your mind go...
How romantic.
Freedom...
The way l look at it, in everyone's
life, there's a certain amount of shit.
- That's true.
- ln the last year,
things have turned out pretty shitty.
So logically, mathematically, even,
it's got to be time
for something not shit.
- [Shazzer] Like what?
- Maybe Mark will have chucked Rebecca.
And he'll run to my door,
fall to his knees,
possibly wearing a wet white shirt,
and beg me to come back.
- Think- Think Think aboutwhat you're tryin' to do to me...
Yes, l very confidently expect
very, very good times ahead.
[PA] Final callfor all passengers to London...
lsn't he cute? Hello.
Hello. Oh...
Seems to be getting a bit excited.
[laughs]
Oh.
Er...
- [Shazzer] Bridget!
- lt's just a misunderstanding.
Hold the plane.
Hold the plane.
[Shazzer] Excuse me! Excuse me!
[PA] All remaining passengersplease report to Gate immediately.

- These yours?
- Yes.

You can't do this. l'm English.
And an award-winning journalist.
Well, maybe not award-winning, but l
have been to lots of award ceremonies.
[door rattles and clangs]
[clang]
Hello. Bridget Jones.
Lovely to meet all of you.
[Bridget] Oh, my bloody God and fuck.l hope they've toldthe British ambassador.Surely Shazzerwould have raised the alert.Maybe they got Shazzer as well.
[woman speaks Thai]
Oh, God, hours.How much longer?
[man] Jones.
Bridget Jones, you come now.
[clang]
Charlie Parker-Knowles,
Assistant Consul.
Thank God you're here.
Um, shall we...
l really had absolutely
nothing to do with it.
Jed planned the whole thing.
That's why he snogged Shazzer,
who's much older than him
and slightly past her peak.
Yes, he sounds the most frightful shit.
Mmm.
The bore is everyone who gets caught
has exactly the same story,
so unless we find this, this Jed fellow
and get a full confession,
you're on a bit of a sticky wicket.
Well, how sticky?
Something like to years.
- [whispers] years?
- Or maybe ten if we're lucky.
Ten years!
ln here?
[Bridget] Very black.All my life l've had the feelingsomething terrible was about to happen.Now it has.
Bijjit, right?
Bridget, actually.
My name Phrao.
You're my friend?
- Steady on!
- Superbra!
You lend me. One day, two cigarette.
Oh. [laughs]
Well, l'll think about it.
Actually, l was thinking of giving up,
but that was before l was arrested
and thrown into a Thai prison
for ten to years. [laughs]
Circumstances change.
No, it really, really is ''touched''.
''Like a vir-gin,
touched for the very first time''.
- No, you wrong.
- No.
Like a wersion
- Vir-gin.
- Fucked for the very first time
- Touched.
- Like a wersion[Bridget] Ten years of this?l
Stop! Enough. Enough.
lf you're going to do it,
you really ought to do it properly.
After all, Madonna is nothing
if not a perfectionist.
Five, six, seven, eight and one...
Like a virgin Touched for the very first time Like a virgin When your heart beats Next to mine...
[cheering]
[Bridget] Dear Mum and Dad,l'm missing you a lot.Please write as soon as you can.l'm feeling pretty low.
[man] Bijjit Jone.
[inmates shout]
ln there. You have five minutes.
Just five.
[door creaks and clangs]
Mark?
You all right?
Oh... [laughs] Fine.
Hmm.
And... scared shitless.
But, you know, perky.
l can't believe
you've come all this way.
l haven't. l was out here
handling a Foreign Office case
when l heard about your situation.
l haven't done anything wrong.
l promise you, it's all a big mistake.
Yes, well, l'm sure it is.
l've got all the papers here
and l'm sure we can sort it out.
l think about you all the time.
And l'm so sorry,
l really, really am,
for everything that happened between us.
Yes, well... [clears throat]
We don't have much time and l need you
to identify someone for me.
ls this the man with whom you were
seen taking hallucinogenic mushrooms
before you spent the night
with Daniel Cleaver?
Yes, that's him,
but l think you should know...
The same man who gave you
the snake containing the drugs?
Yes, that's him, that's Jed.
But it was Shazzer's snake, not mine,
and as far as Daniel Cleaver goes...
Your sex life doesn't concern me at all.
Has there been any ill treatment here?
No, no. Well, l mean...
...the toilet facilities
are well below par, but...
Good, that makes things simpler.
Listen, they're prepared
to drop all charges against you
which is extremely lenient,
given the circumstances.
You're going to be out within a week.
And...
[zip]
Goodbye.
Mark?
[clang]
Thank you.
You're welcome. l'm just the messenger.
The order came from above.
Well, good luck.
Glad l could be of help.
So, Bijjit, what happen?
Well, um...
Bijjit! How this can happen?
This is terrible! You are innocent!
- They're always cheating us.
- No, no, no. That's all fine.
They've dropped the charges
and they're letting me go.
But that good news.
What is wrong?
Mark Darcy definitely...
...doesn't love me anymore.
[all] Ohhh.
You see the trouble is
it was me who chucked him.
[Phrao] He treat you bad?
Yeah, actually, he did.
My boyfriend treat me bad too.
- Me too.
- [girl] Mine as well.
[girl] Me too.
Then you know all about it.
You think you've found the right man,
but then there's so much wrong with him
and he finds there's so much wrong
with you and it all just falls apart.
Don't tell me. My boyfriend,
he seem really nice.
Then he start to hit me.
Make me work on street.
My boyfriend, he say he love me.
But he do no work,
and make me work hour a day.
Then he make me take heroin drug.
What about you, Bijjit?
What your bad boyfriend do?
Well, er,...
...he really didn't stick up for me
at this lawyers' supper,...
and, um, then he would fold his...
[chuckles]
Oh, same sort of thing, really.
Hitting me and making me take drugs.
Stealing all my money and stuff.
[Bridget] Oh, God.l've been the world's biggest fool.

Just a few tiny leaving presents.
No luxuries.

on your wall,
you could do worse than John Currin.
He is about the only
contemporary painter who can paint.
There's usually something
interesting and allegorical,
plus of course,
there is a very high perv quotient.
- [Mark] Did you see her?
- Cut. Cut it.
Sorry, everyone, sorry. lt's my stalker.
Fuck off, Darcy,
some people have jobs to do.
Did you see her surrounded by police,
dogs, handcuffs?
Come on, she's a big girl,
she can take care of herself.
l'm only going to ask you one more time.
Did you see her?
You're only gonna ask me one more time?
- You haven't got your wig on now, dear.
- l'll take that as a yes.
Yes, l did see her.
l thought she was smuggling seashells,
or mangoes.
Right.
Right, good.
Will you step outside, please?
Oh, no, it's not possible.
Darcy, do you have any idea
what century we actually live in?
Are you gonna step outside
or am l gonna have to drag you?
l think you're gonna have to drag me.

No hope there.

[ Robbie Williams: Misunderstood] Trying to be misunderstood But it doesn't do me any good Love the way they smiled at me Hold that face for eternity Now let them all fly off When it comes down lt all comes down And you will not be found When it's over lt's all over Even if l make a sound...
Surprise!
- Hello.
- Hello.
- [Tom] Oh, darling.
- Hiya.
Bridget...
l'm so sorry.
lt's all right.
Well, thank God for Mark Darcy.
l mean, he might be a boring arse,
but he performed a miracle.
That's a bit of an overstatement.
He actually seems
to be the villain of this piece.
He's a top human rights lawyer and he
left it to someone else to get me out.
He was just a messenger.
- [Tom] Who told you that?
- He did.
Straight from the horse's mouth.
The horse wasn't quite
telling you the truth.
l called Mark
the minute l landed in London.
We went to his office
and within half an hour,
he'd woken two Cabinet ministers
and half of Ml .
But none of them could locate Jed,
so Mark flew over to lnterpol.
Which is in Lyon.
They located Jed in Dubai,
but they don't normally
extradite people,
so Mark rang the Home Secretary
who rang our ambassador...
ln Riyadh. Then Mark flew to Dubai
where he identified Jed,
who was impounded and pushed out into...
Saudi Arabia, where Mark was waiting
with the police.
Jed was arrested and extradited back
to Britain. Then Mark flew to Bangkok,
to make damn sure they'd let you go.
Oh.
He was just angry about Daniel Cleaver.
- He must still love me.
- He fucking must.
Taxi?
Yes, please.
[all shriek]
Get in the cab!
[all shout]
Hurry!
Oh. l forgot about you.
Er, l, l, l just wanted to, um,...
say something to Mark.
He's at the office.
Do you want to come in?
Oh, no. No, no, l don't think l will.
l really hope
that you'll be happy together.
- Sorry?
- You and Mark.
l really hope that you'll be
very happy together.
No, no, no, Bridget, listen...
you've got it completely wrong.
l'm not in love with him.
How could l be when l'm...
seriously heartbroken
and smitten with someone else?
Someone else?
- You, Bridget.
- Me?
Ever since l saw you here
with your hair messed that night
and bits of garden stuck to you.
You must have noticed.
l try to hide it,
but every time l see you, l light up.
l thought you were just, you know,...
...lying.
Was every look l ever gave you a lie?
l've been looking forward to this.
Lovely to see you, Bridget.
- [Rebecca sighs]
- Thank you very much.
That was lovely.
Really lovely.
But l'm afraid it's still men
in general,
and Mark Darcy in particular,
that l love.
Right.
lf, er, if l ever do decide to, um,...
you know, bat for the other side,...
...well, there's no-one else.
Only you.
[ Jamie Cullum: Everlasting Love]
- Hello, Giles.
- Hello, Bridget.
Open up your eyes Then you'll realise Here l stand with my Everlasting love Need you by my side Girl, to be my bride You'll never be denied...
lnns of Court, please. Fast as you can.
What do you think of this jacket?
- Yeah, very nice indeed.
- No, be honest.
What do you think of the whole
jacket/trouser combination?
- Disaster.
- Actually, can we take a tiny detour?
l'll be back in literally two seconds.
Where life really flows No-one really knows Till someone's there to show The way to lasting love Need a love to last forever Need a love to last forever...
Oh.
[ Barry White:

- You look gorgeous.
- Thank you.
Very important at this moment.
There's no way- They could have made two...
- [shrieks]
Doesn't matter. lt's not about looks.
[shrieks]
- Your love l'll keep for evermore
- As l was saying.
You're the first...
Excuse me, l'm looking for Mr Darcy.
Down there, right along the corridor,
and just to the left.
Thank you very much.
[ Beyoncè: Crazy ln Love] Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh no no Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh no no Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh no no Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh no no...

Come in.
Hello, Bridget.
Hello, Mark.
Er...
l'm sorry, l'm disturbing you.
- Well, yes, a bit.
- l'll just...
sit outside while you finish.
No, no, no, please,
say what you have to say, young lady.
Mr Santiago
is the Peruvian Secretary for Trade.
And Mr Hernàndez is his number two.
Hello. [chuckles]
Hello.
Hello, hello, hello. [laughs]
How can we help you, young lady?
Well, er,...
Er... [Bridget laughs]
l just wanted to tell Mr Darcy here
that l heard what magnificent work
he actually did
releasing me from prison.
[muttering]
Tiny, tiny misunderstanding to do
with an enormous stash of cocaine.
And l also wanted to say,
since having found out that his
girlfriend is actually a lesbian,...
[man coughs]
...that l love him.
Always have. Always will.
And that l'm...
...you know,...
...available for dates...
...if he should feel so inclined.
So, er, your girlfriend is a lesbian.
Look, if you'll all just excuse us
for a second...
l think we should...
Bridget, that was not the most romantic
proposition l've ever heard.
Well, maybe it is romantic
because it's not. l mean...
l know there's no music playing,
and it's not snowing,
but that doesn't mean that it,
that it can't really be something.
You're right.
ln fact, there's a question
l've been meaning to ask you.
All right. As long as it's not
''Will you marry me?''
Oh, God.
lt is ''Will you marry me?''
Well, l'm not gonna say it now.
- ls it ''Will you marry me?''
- The moment's gone.
No. No, no, no. No, wait.
Wait.
- Bridget.
- Start again.
- No.
- Start again.
l'm not gonna... lt's...
We've just stepped out
into the corridor,
you say ''l've got a question to ask you''
and l don't say anything.
And... And...
You say...
Bridget Jones, will you marry me?
[vicar] Dearly beloved,
we are gathered here this day
to unite this couple.
Do you affirm your love,
one to the other?
l do. Again.
And Colin?
l do. Again.
As well. Of course.
