Emma Quote

Emma: The most incomprehensible thing in the world to a man is a woman who rejects his offer of marriage.

Mr. Knightley: I do not comprehend it because it is madness.
[about Harriet's refusal of Robert Martin's offer of marriage]

Mr. Knightley: I hope you are wrong.

Emma: I could not be. I saw her answer.

Mr. Knightley: Emma
[looking at her suspiciously]

Mr. Knightley: ... you wrote her answer, didn't you?

Emma: If I did, I would have done no wrong. He is not Harriet's equal.

Mr. Knightley: I agree he is not her equal.

Emma: Good.

Mr. Knightley: He is her superior in sense and situation!

Movie: Emma
