Jumping down the stairs in a sprightly manner and being humorously sarcastic about Mr Elton - it changes Emma's circumstances radically to give her a father who is a friend rather than a burden. Although this Emma doesn't really seem the type to appreciate snark. Whatever one may think of Gwyneth Paltrow, it was evident from the very first shot of her Emma that this was someone highly intelligent who got a kick out of manipulating people (unlike, say, Romola Garai, who was merely a nice girl with a thing about weddings). This Emma looks like she should be playing Lucy Steele.
