Although I know this would never be chosen, the line I would pick if it were up to me is, "If I had ever learnt, I would have been a great proficient." That's my favorite line in P&P and maybe in the whole Austen canon, one of those that just gets funnier and funnier the more often you read it. The very fact that so many people would be so confused by it would just make it even funnier, in my mind. Those who had read P&P would be cracked up, while everyone else just stared at it in puzzlement.
