Setting: The Netherfield Ball, initially
Situation: Addicts mingling gleefully with original inhabitants

(walking up to greeting line)"I say, Miss Bingley, how good of your brother to invite our tour group to this ball. Delighted to meet you."

Caroline: (eyes lighting up) "Oh, how I long to see new men, sorry, friends, of my brother. And you are disposed to dance, I trust?"

"Even savages from America can dance, so may I have the honor at the quadrille?" (bowing hastily as I spot Lizzie across the room; I have to reach her before Darcy does; thank God I have my Wickham costume on)

(bumping into Mrs. Bennet) Mrs. Bennet: "Good evening, sir, may I introduce you to my daughter Mary? Mary, step lively, girl. She is a good sort of girl, but never one to push herself forward in a public situation."

"I think that is most commendable, particularly in regard to piano playing and singing at strange houses." (Trying to stop her later exhibition)

"And how much do you have a year? That is to say, how do you like to spend your money, uh, time?"

(seeing Lizzie heading for Charlotte so time is short)"Pray excuse me, madam, there is a pressing matter I must attend to."

(observing Katy, Cheryl, Amy, Kim, Candace, Leslie, and other addicts all heading for Darcy, I slow my gait and stroll to Lizzie and Charlotte)
