Lady Catherine de Bourgh: Tell me you will never marry Mr. Darcy.

Elizabeth:

- a muppets adaptation of pride & prejudice should be called ‘Muppets, Pride and Prejudice’ (comma mandatory)

(I did consider ‘Pride and Prejudice and Muppets’ but like that’s been done)

- Darcy & Elizabeth should be human actors playing it very straight. Kermit the Frog & Miss Piggy are Bingley & Jane.

- Gonzo & Rizzo reprise their role as narrator/greek chorus from Muppet Christmas Carol. this means the film can open w Gonzo very earnestly reciting the opening line 

(& then Rizzo being like ‘Gonzo what are you TALKING about’ and idk you could get a skit out of that whilst introducing the book and some of its context for younger viewers! it’d be good)

- major issue would be that Pride & Prejudice has a lot of women in it and there aren’t a lot of girl muppets unfortunately so all the men outside Darcy would have to be muppets in order for there to be enough muppet roles

- leaning towards Fozzie Bear for Mr Bennet. maybe Sam the Bald Eagle for Mr Collins? don’t know if any of the muppets are dickish enough to be plausible as Wickham so maybe he’d have to be a human man idk

but instead Kermit makes “the scrunch” face at least twice:

Miss Piggy would be great as a lot of P&P characters but unfortunately there are many of them and only one of her

Darcy would have to say them with a straight face while we, the audience, are watching flashbacks of Miss Piggy going absolutely WILD at the Netherfield Ball.
