Lizzie: Hey everybody! Look!
It’s a new room. And it’s not even a bedroom,
but an office.
I don't know how we’ll stand the excitement.
But that’s not even the best part.
What's the best part, you ask?
Weeeeeell…
My name is Lizzie Bennet,
Charlotte: and my name is Charlotte Lu,
Lizzie: and this is the Lizzie Bennet Diaries.
Lizzie/Charlotte: Nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, yeah!
"Together Again" Written by Margaret Dunlap
Lizzie: Specifically, it's the Lizzie Bennet Diaries at Collins and Collins with Charlotte Lu.
Okay, that’s a mouthful.
Charlotte: Don't worry about it. It's not the Lizzie and Charlotte Diaries.
Lizzie: Are you sure? Because I'm still open to changing the name.
Charlotte: That's really sweet of you. But,
I think we both overreacted a bit, and, well,
we talked about it.
Lizzie: That we did. And we are good.
We’re good, right?
Charlotte: We are good.
Lizzie: I don’t ever want you to feel like you're working for me.
Assuming that you want to help with the editing again…?
Charlotte: Well I do have full-time responsibilities now,
but I am happy to help if you want me to.
Lizzie: I definitely do!
When you have time.
Charlotte: Then I promise I will continue to draw devil horns on your face,
and leave in all the weird bits you wish I would cut.
Lizzie: Deal!
Charlotte: I missed all you Bennets. How are your sisters?
Lizzie: Well, Lydia’s gone back to school, and
Jane just sent me a care package.
Charlotte: Already? You've been here a day.
Lizzie: It’s Jane.
Charlotte: Hi, Lizzie, it’s so good to write you!
Has she seen Bing yet?
Lizzie: No, but, she’s only been in L.A. a week. She’ll see him soon enough.
Charlotte: Well, let’s talk about something else.
Lizzie: Why, is this not interesting enough?
Should we be in tears? Or throwing squash at each other like they do in Game of Gourds?
Sorry, is that okay?
Should I not be making fun of your programming while I’m shooting in your offices?
Charlotte: Collins and Collins has a very progressive policy on employee speech on the internet.
And you aren't even an employee.
We just have one rule:
No spoilers.
Lizzie: Wow.
I would not have expected that from Ricky.
Charlotte: He signed off on it himself.
Lizzie: And who wrote that policy, bestie of mine?
Charlotte: I believe it was Jenkins in Legal…
Lizzie: And who told Jenkins…? You’re just not going to tell, are you?
Charlotte: We’re all a team here at Collins and Collins.
Mr. Collins: Indeed we are!
Lizzie: Of course.
Mr. Collins: My apologies Miss Bennet, I’d momentarily assumed you were having a private conversation with Ms. Lu,
but then I realized that couldn't be the case since you are speaking to your internet-connected brethren!
Lizzie: I… uh…
Never mind. Thank you again for letting me shoot here.
Mr. Collins: Oh, not at all. I think you'll find our facilities excellent for all your production needs.
Lizzie: Oh, I don’t really need much.
Mr. Collins: And I'm sure Ms. Lu enjoys the creative outlet as well.
Charlotte: It’s true. I really missed working on these.
Mr. Collins: Maybe you should consider extending your stay. As you can see, it is a high privilege for anyone to be working in these fine offices.
Lizzie: Um. That is very generous of you, R… Mr. Collins,
but I don’t want to be a distraction.
Mr. Collins: Oh, to the contrary! I was just dining with my VC, Catherine de Bourgh. She is a towering figure…
Did I mention her education…
Perhaps she will extend to you an invitation to dine with her during your visit.
Lizzie: Oh! That’s not necessary.
Mr. Collins: Oh, the opportunity to meet her would be an honor for a young woman such as yourself.
Uh... Ms. Lu has certainly found her both entertaining and enlightening.
Charlotte: Absolutely.
Mr. Collins: But, as I was explaining,
Ms. de Bourgh was informing me of the benefits of having an eighty-twenty policy within the workplace.
She has found it energizes creativity and magnifies company morale.
Oh! At our next meeting we should discuss…
Charlotte: Already on the agenda.
Mr. Collins: Of course! Ms. Lu’s level of forethought is only exceeded by the great Catherine de Bourgh!
Which reminds me, I must leave to prepare for our next brainstorming session!
Ms. Bennet, Ms. Lu.
Lizzie: Sounds like Catherine de Bourgh has a lot of ideas.
Charlotte: Hundreds.
Lizzie: Think I’m going to net one of those sacred dinner invitations?
Charlotte: Are you feeling lucky?
