I play Alexander Colbourne in "Sanditon," and I am going to be playing, Jane Austen or Not?
(screen whooshes) - Oh, I'm going to be terrible.
- You're not gonna be as bad as me.
(playful music) - What?
(Crystal laughing) (Rose laughing) - Okay, ready?
- "You must be wary of the gentleman suitor who seeks your hand only as a means to best his opponent, for he can never be trusted in life, or in love."
(regal music) Yeah, that sounds like Jane Austen.
- Jane Austen?
- Not.
- Ooh!
(upbeat piano music) - Not Jane Austen.
- I really should have read all Jane Austen's books before I did this.
- "The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love."
- Not Jane Austen?
No, it is Jane Austen, it was just so sad.
- [Sophie] Jane Austen?
- Jane Austen.
- Oh, whew.
- Jane?
Yep.
(giggles) - "If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more."
- 50% chance.
- It's very on the nose.
Not Jane Austen.
(dramatic music) Jane Austen?
Insert swear word here.
- Let's say, yes, it is.
- Jane Austen, "Emma."
- "What is love, if not a never-ending circle of hope and disappointment?"
Jane Austen would not say that.
- Oh, that's gotta be Jane Austen though.
What?
- That sounds like Austen.
- [Sophie] Nope.
- No!
(Sophie laughing) - God, we're thick.
- Not Jane Austen.
Yes, now we're cooking on gas.
- "What's love got to do, got to do with it?"
- "Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?"
That's Tina Turner.
- I'm gonna go out on a limb, and say that I don't think that's Regency.
- That's Tina Turner.
- Not Jane Austen.
- (Sophie laughing) - "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."
- I would say that is her.
- Jane Austen, "Pride and Prejudice."
- "You pierce my soul.
I am half agony, half hope, I have loved none but you."
Another quote.
(gentle music) (Sophie gasps) - Half agony.
No, that's not Jane Austen, 'cause that sounds like a film script.
That is Jane Austen, "Persuasion."
- Not Jane Austen.
- Jane Austen.
- Sugar, she can't be that.
- "Persuasion."
- Oh my God.
- "She liked him.
Sober-minded as she was, she thought him agreeable and did not quarrel with the suspicion of his finding her equally so."
- That is Jane Austen, I think.
Jane Austen, "Sanditon."
- Jane Austen?
Yes.
(laughing) - Title of the show, is it?
Yep.
- All right, I did quite well.
- God, I haven't got a single one.
- To be honest, I thought they were all of Austen, including the Tina Turner one.
