What's really going on
The chapter is built on two conversations that never quite meet. In the first, Elinor and Marianne argue about propriety, and Marianne refuses the whole logic of it: 'If there was any true impropriety in my behaviour, I should be sensible of it.' She is not defending a specific act but her right to feel openly, and to her the rules only exist to be ignored. Brandon's invitation then quietly puts Willoughby back at the centre of everything, and the picnic becomes a stage for a courtship nobody has admitted to. His warning to Elinor — the story of a woman who was forced into 'a better acquaintance with the world,' whose end was 'only ruination and despair' — is the film saying out loud what Marianne cannot hear. He is describing her future, and she is not in the room to take it in.

If there was any true impropriety in my behaviour, I should be sensible of it.Marianne's defence of her openness: she claims she would know if she had done wrong, so the gossip cannot touch her.

The sooner she becomes acquainted with the ways of the world the better.Brandon's dry remark that experience will correct Marianne, spoken as both a warning and a prediction.
