Darcy and Bingley talking after the ball at Meryton

Darcy: Mr. Bingley the ball wasn’t what I expected at all. It was rather boring and that young lady Elizabeth was very annoying

Mr. Bingley: Don’t look at it that way Darcy. Jane, is the prettiest creature I’ve seen and this was a good opportunity to meet her

Darcy: Let me explain to you two things Mr. Bingley: women are nice things, but classless women aren’t. I must add Jane wasn’t charming at all. You enjoyed her company, I suppose. But I wasn’t pleased at all by the people at the ball.

Mr. Bingley: nice women are nice things, but Jane isn’t a nice woman. She has dazzled me with her smile and precious eyes. She has gone beyond to what a man could ever dream.
