Short filmTranscript
00:00Next day, as promised,
00:29Herbert attended me to Hammersmith,
00:31where I was to meet his family.
00:33I soon discovered that Mr and Mrs Pockett's children
00:35were not growing up, but were tumbling up.
00:38Master Alec, if you go on bouncing up against Miss Jane like that,
00:41you'll both fall in the fire and be burnt to cinders.
00:43What'll your pa say, then?
00:44Oh, enough flops, enough.
00:46Take them all the way for a nap.
00:48Even baby?
00:49Especially baby.
00:51Yes, Mum.
00:52Come on now, everyone. Let's go to the nursery.
00:55That's Master Alec. You go round that way.
00:57Oh, gracious me, flops.
01:00Gracious me indeed, Mum.
01:01What have you got there?
01:02What? Got here?
01:04Oh, why, if it ain't your footstool.
01:06If you're going to be under your skirts like that, Mum,
01:08it's not tumbling.
01:10Oh, really?
01:10Oh, no, no.
01:12Hello, flops.
01:13Master Herbert.
01:20Herbert, dear,
01:21I do not wish to be disturbed until tea.
01:24Mumma, this is young Mr Pip.
01:25Come to visit.
01:35Pip, I don't think I know the family,
01:38but I do hope your Mumma is quite well.
01:41Mumma, Mr Pip is an orphan.
01:44Oh, how distressing for you.
01:46You must forgive Mumma's vagueness, Pip.
01:55She's the daughter of the aristocracy.
01:57You know, her late father was a knight
01:58and her grandfather ought to have been a baronet.
02:00Indeed.
02:01She was brought up to marry a title, you see,
02:03strictly guarded from the acquisition
02:05of anything so plebeian as domestic knowledge.
02:07Ah, let her be.
02:09Father should join us soon.
02:10Tell me, sir,
02:11do you like the taste of orange flower water?
02:15Um,
02:17good morning, Herbert.
02:18Oh, papa!
02:20This is young Mr Pip.
02:21What?
02:22Oh, I am glad to see you,
02:24Herbert.
02:26Yes.
02:26And, er,
02:27I hope you're not sorry to see me.
02:30Not at all, sir.
02:31No.
02:31I am not really an alarming personage.
02:35No, sir.
02:35Belinda, my dear,
02:37have you welcomed Mr Pip?
02:39Yes.
02:39Yes.
02:41Oh,
02:42well, Mr Pip,
02:44yes.
02:44Mr Jaggers feels
02:46that you should be well enough educated
02:48for your destiny
02:49if you can hold your own
02:51with the average young man
02:52in prosperous circumstances.
02:54Do you agree?
02:55Oh, I suppose so, sir.
02:56I know nothing to the contrary.
02:58As to your,
02:59your accommodation.
03:02Um,
03:02you may come and stay here
03:04if you wish.
03:05Well, sir,
03:06if I could remain
03:07in garden court with Herbert,
03:09I should like that very much.
03:10Well, I don't object
03:11to that arrangement at all.
03:12Perhaps it might be wise
03:13to inform Mr Jaggers
03:15of your plan.
03:16Yes, sir.
03:16Well, Herbert,
03:17take Mr Pip to the study
03:18and introduce him
03:19to his fellow students.
03:21Thank you, sir.
03:22Yeah.
03:23Why?
03:25Mm.
03:28Well,
03:29And what has happened
03:33to our noisy little flock
03:35of sheep, dearest?
03:48The delicate-looking one's
03:49Star-top.
03:51His mother spoils him.
03:52And the other is Bentley Drummle.
03:56Next there,
03:56but one to a baronessie.
03:59He looks very proud.
04:01His time's nearly up here.
04:02I must say,
04:03it'll be a great relief
04:04to my father
04:04when he goes home.
04:06You don't like him?
04:07Not a bit.
04:08Good morning, Drummle.
04:10Good morning, Star-top.
04:11My, my, what have we here?
04:16Really, Drummle,
04:17can't you ever be agreeable?
04:18This is Mr Pip.
04:20He's to study with you
04:21from now on.
04:21Oh, I say.
04:23Mr Pip-Pip, is it?
04:25And what profession
04:26are you to be designed for,
04:28Mr Pip-Pip?
04:29Ignore him, Handel.
04:30This will be your desk.
04:31What a splendid idea.
04:33Yes, please do ignore me,
04:35Mr Pip-Pip.
04:36I shall most certainly
04:38ignore you.
04:39Come, Star-top.
04:44Good riddance,
04:45you arrogant blockhead.
04:48Have a care.
04:49I'm half a head taller
04:50than you are.
04:51And half a dozen heads thicker.
04:52Have a care, Mr Pip-Pip.
04:54Just have a care.
05:01Through good and evil
05:06I stuck to my books
05:07having sense enough
05:08to know my deficiencies.
05:10Mr Pocket and Herbert
05:11were the good of this
05:12and between them
05:13I got on fast.
05:15Bentley Drummle
05:16was the evil.
05:19Really, Mr Drummle,
05:20can you not even lift a book
05:22without giving the distinct impression
05:23that the author has done you
05:25some personal injury?
05:31I have warned you before,
05:33Mr Drummle.
05:34If you continue to show
05:35indifference as a pupil
05:36I shall return the compliment
05:38as a master.
05:40Dear...
05:41You have learned nothing
05:44from our lesson of this afternoon.
05:46I find it difficult
05:46to concentrate, sir,
05:48sitting next to him.
05:49He grinds his teeth excessively.
05:51Oh, I do not.
05:52Don't contradict me, you oaf.
05:54I assure you
05:55the noise is quite deafening.
05:57Cut along, boys.
05:58You have time for a walk
05:59without argument
06:00before we die.
06:13Mr Pippe?
06:16You are a bright
06:18and willing pupil.
06:19With intelligent assistance
06:20you should meet with little
06:22to discourage you.
06:23Certainly not, Mr Drummle.
06:25Get up! Get up!
06:26Get up!
06:27Get up!
06:27Get up!
06:28Get up!
06:29Nor my noisy children, eh?
06:32Herbert tells me
06:33you wish to take lessons
06:34from him
06:35in elocution.
06:37I should like my vocabulary
06:38to be as extensive
06:39as is, sir.
06:41Elocution, Mr Pipp,
06:42will improve your style.
06:44Not what, you say.
06:46Well, I don't feel equal
06:47to London society
06:49while I still speak
06:50with my country accent.
06:53Will that be all, sir?
06:54Mm-hmm.
06:55Oh, yeah, yes.
06:56Run the wrong.
06:58So, you see,
07:12it would save her
07:13but some expense
07:14and if I could buy
07:16the furniture
07:16that was hired for me
07:17and one or two
07:18other little things,
07:20well, I'd be quite
07:21at home, there.
07:22Yeah, totally, you get on.
07:23Well, how much do you want?
07:28I don't know.
07:30A couple of months.
07:3150 pounds?
07:32Not nearly so much.
07:34Five, then.
07:35Well, perhaps a little
07:37more than that.
07:38More than that, eh?
07:39How much more?
07:42Oh, it's so difficult
07:43to fix a sum, Mr Jaggers.
07:44Oh, come, let's get at it.
07:46Twice five.
07:48Will that do?
07:49Three times.
07:50Four times five.
07:51Will that do?
07:51That would do handsomely.
07:52So, four times five
07:54will do handsomely, will it?
07:56And what do you make
07:57of four times five?
07:59What do I make of it?
08:01Hmm, how much?
08:02Well, I suppose
08:03you make it 20 pounds.
08:05Never mind what I make it,
08:06my friend.
08:06I want to know
08:07what you make it.
08:08Well, 20 pounds,
08:09of course.
08:10Very well.
08:12Wimmick,
08:12take Mr Pipps' written order
08:14and give him 20 pounds.
08:17Can you dine with me
08:18on Friday evening?
08:20Thank you, yes.
08:21Eh, bring young
08:22Mr Herbert Pocket
08:23and your two friends
08:24from Hammersmith.
08:26No ceremony, mind.
08:28And, er,
08:29no dinner dress.
08:31Shall we, er,
08:32say six?
08:35Not now,
08:36not now,
08:36no, tomorrow.
08:37Come and see me tomorrow.
08:39Not now!
08:40Go back up!
08:42Well.
08:46Deep, eh?
08:47He certainly is.
08:51Deep as Australia.
08:53And if there was anything deeper,
08:55he'd be it.
08:57I wish I hadn't
08:58to take the two
08:58from Hammersmith.
09:00Whatever he gives you,
09:01he'll give you good.
09:02Not much variety,
09:04but excellent.
09:05I'm sure.
09:07Deep
09:07as Australia.
09:09you know,
09:13he never allows
09:14a door
09:14or a window
09:15of his home
09:15to be fastened
09:16at night.
09:17Is he never robbed?
09:18Well, that's just it.
09:20He said...
09:21He gives it out publicly.
09:23He says,
09:23I want to see the man
09:25who'd robbed me.
09:26Nobody would.
09:27They dread him too much.
09:30We'd have their lives.
09:32He'd have everything,
09:33that one.
09:34Impossible to say
09:35what he couldn't get
09:36if he put his mind to it.
09:37Mr. Wemmick,
09:39whose likeness is this?
09:43Oh!
09:44Oh, that's a celebrated one,
09:46that is.
09:47That's old Bounceable.
09:49Old famous client of ours.
09:52Murdered his master,
09:53he did.
09:54Is it really like him?
09:55Like him?
09:58It is him.
10:01This cast
10:02was made at Nugget
10:03directly after
10:05he was taken down.
10:06Oh!
10:08That reminds me.
10:10When you dine
10:11with Mr. Jaggers,
10:12look close
10:14at his housekeeper.
10:16His housekeeper?
10:25Shall I see something
10:27very uncommon
10:28in his housekeeper?
10:30You'll see
10:31a wild beast
10:32tamed.
10:34Won't lessen
10:35your opinion
10:35in a Mr. Jaggers' palace.
10:38Keep your eye on her.
10:42Oh, well,
10:44if, er,
10:45at any odd time
10:46when you've nothing better
10:47to do,
10:47you wouldn't mind
10:47coming out
10:48to see me at
10:49Walworth,
10:49Mr. Pip.
10:50I should, er,
10:52consider it an honour.
10:53Walworth?
10:54Hmm.
10:55I live at Walworth.
10:58Well, thank you,
10:58Mr. Wemmick.
10:59I've not much
11:00to show you,
11:00mind,
11:01but such two
11:01or three curiosities
11:02as I have got,
11:03you might like
11:04to run your eye over.
11:05I'm fond of a bit
11:06of garden
11:07and a summer house.
11:09I should be
11:10delighted to
11:11accept your
11:12hospitality.
11:13Good.
11:14Then we'll consider
11:15that it's to come off
11:16when convenient
11:17to you.
11:17Herbert.
11:39Hmm?
11:41I have something
11:42very particular
11:43to tell you.
11:45I should esteem
11:46and respect
11:46your confidence,
11:47my dear Handel.
11:49Well,
11:50it concerns
11:52myself
11:53and one other.
11:59I adore
12:00Estella.
12:02Well?
12:04Well,
12:05is that all
12:05you can say?
12:06Well.
12:06I already know
12:07you adore
12:07Estella.
12:09How do you know?
12:09I never told you.
12:10My dear Handel,
12:11it wasn't just
12:12your portmanteau
12:13you brought up
12:13from the country.
12:14You brought
12:15your adoration
12:15as well.
12:16Well,
12:17I've loved her
12:17from the first
12:18her,
12:18but from the
12:19moment I saw her.
12:20Then it's like
12:21you've been picked
12:21out on a lot
12:22of tour,
12:22isn't it?
12:26Have you any
12:27idea of her
12:27views on the matter?
12:28you say I'm lucky?
12:30Well, I suppose I am.
12:36Last week I was
12:37a blacksmith's boy
12:38and today I'm...
12:40Well, what am I?
12:41A good fellow.
12:42Yeah, well, luck alone
12:43has raised me,
12:44but I've done nothing
12:45to help get where I am.
12:46Well, I wish I could be so fortunate.
12:48And yet,
12:50when I think of Estella...
12:52And when don't you?
12:54Well, it's just that
12:55however great
12:57my expectations may be,
13:00well, they really all
13:01depend on the
13:02constancy of
13:04one person.
13:07My patron.
13:09Oh, come, Handel,
13:10can't you name her?
13:11You and I both
13:12know it is Miss Havisham,
13:14and aren't you rather
13:15looking that particular
13:16gift horse in the mouth
13:17with a magnifying glass?
13:27Well, surely Estella
13:29can't be a condition
13:30of your inheritance.
13:31Why not?
13:32I'm sure Miss Havisham
13:33expects me to marry her.
13:35Well, then,
13:36what are you worrying about?
13:37Estella despises me.
13:38We're a thousand miles apart.
13:41Handel,
13:41I'm going to make myself
13:43seriously disagreeable
13:44to you for a moment.
13:47Positively repulsive.
13:49You won't succeed.
13:50Oh, yes, I shall.
13:54Can you not detach
13:55yourself from Estella?
13:57She's a hard
13:58creature, Handel.
14:00If you bind yourself
14:02to her,
14:02it can only lead to misery.
14:04I know it.
14:07But I can't help it.
14:09You won't even try.
14:14Well,
14:15I told you
14:17I should be disagreeable.
14:21This is very pleasant,
14:35Mr. Jaggers.
14:37I have the whole house,
14:38of course,
14:38but I rarely use more of it
14:40than you see.
14:42Pip,
14:44tell me again
14:45which is which.
14:45The delicate-looking one
14:48is Star Top.
14:49And the spider?
14:50Spider?
14:51That sprawly, blotchy fella.
14:54Bentley Drummle.
14:55I'm afraid
14:56he's not very agreeable, sir.
14:58Bentley Drummle
14:59is his name,
14:59is he?
15:00Hmm.
15:01I like the look
15:02of that fella.
15:04Well, gentlemen,
15:05I am very glad
15:06to see you all.
15:07I fear we must break up
15:09at half past nine,
15:10so pray you make
15:11the best of your time.
15:14Mr. Drummle,
15:15I drink to you.
15:16Have you been rowing
15:24on the river yet, Pip?
15:25No.
15:26But I do intend
15:27to buy a boat
15:28to use at Hammersmith
15:29for Herbert and myself.
15:31What about me?
15:31Can't I be cut into?
15:33But you already
15:34shower a boat.
15:35Yes, I know,
15:35but Bentley's leaving
15:36very soon
15:37and the boat is his.
15:37Has someone taught you
15:38how to row, then?
15:40Years ago, yes.
15:42I've lived by water
15:43all my life.
15:43Oh, yes.
15:45I imagine
15:45you're pretty good
15:46at most exercises
15:47in which country boys
15:48are adept.
15:50But on the Thames,
15:50you know,
15:51we like to row
15:52with some elegance
15:53of style.
15:54Now, look.
15:55As to skill, Bentley,
15:57I'm sure that Pip
15:57is more than your master.
15:59I doubt that.
16:00As to strength,
16:01certainly.
16:02He has the arm
16:03of a blacksmith.
16:04If you talk of strength,
16:06I'll show you a wrist.
16:08Molly,
16:09let them see a wrist.
16:10Master, no.
16:10Come, Molly,
16:11let them see both your wrists.
16:13Mr. Jackens.
16:13Come, show them.
16:14There's power here.
16:19Do you see that,
16:19Mr. Drummle?
16:21Very few men
16:22have the power
16:23of wrist this woman has.
16:25It's remarkable
16:26what mere force
16:27of grip
16:27there is
16:28in these hands.
16:32Right, Molly,
16:33you've been admired.
16:33You can go.
16:36I've had occasion
16:37to notice many hands
16:38in my time,
16:38but I never saw
16:39stronger than those.
16:40Never.
16:40So, Mr. Pip,
16:45you're to buy
16:46a boat then, eh?
16:47Yes.
16:48Some people
16:49are very free
16:49with their money,
16:50don't you think?
16:51I must say
16:51that comes with
16:52a bad grace
16:52from someone
16:53who borrowed money
16:53from start-up
16:54only yesterday.
16:55He'll be paid back.
16:56I don't mean
16:57to imply that he won't.
16:58It might make you
16:59hold your tongue
17:00about us and our money.
17:01Oh, Lord.
17:01I dare say
17:02you wouldn't lend
17:02money to any of us
17:03if we wanted it.
17:04You're right.
17:05I wouldn't even lend
17:06you a sixpence.
17:07And don't you think
17:08it's rather mean
17:09to borrow under those...
17:09You go to the devil.
17:11Come along, old boy.
17:11Do be agreeable.
17:12Now, since we're
17:13on the subject,
17:14shall I tell you
17:14what passed between
17:15Herbert here and myself
17:16when you borrowed
17:17that money from start-up?
17:18It doesn't matter, Handle.
17:20No, thank you.
17:21I don't care to know
17:22what passed between
17:23Herbert there and you.
17:24Well, I'll tell you anyway.
17:26We said,
17:28although you were very glad
17:29to put his money
17:30in your pocket,
17:31it seemed to amuse you
17:32immensely that he'd been
17:33weak enough to land it.
17:35Gentlemen,
17:36I am exceedingly sorry
17:37to announce that it's
17:38half past nine.
17:43About a month after
17:44that dinner,
17:45the spider's time
17:46with Mr. Pocket
17:46was up for good
17:47and to the great relief
17:49of all,
17:49Bentley Drummle left.
17:51Although I applied myself
17:53conscientiously to my education,
17:55I soon contracted
17:56expensive habits
17:57and began to spend
17:58an amount of money
17:59that I should once
18:00have thought fabulous.
18:01Did you think of walking
18:02to Walworth with me,
18:03Mr. Pip?
18:04Certainly.
18:05If you approve.
18:06Oh, very much.
18:07I've had my legs
18:08under the desk all day
18:09and I'll be glad
18:09to stretch them.
18:20I've got a stewed steak
18:21for supper
18:22and a cold roast fowl
18:24from the cook shop.
18:25I think it's tender
18:26because the master
18:27of the shop
18:28was a juryman
18:29in some cases
18:30of ours the other day
18:31and we let him down easy.
18:34I wonder he didn't
18:34make you a present of it.
18:36He did.
18:39You, um,
18:40don't object
18:41to an aged parent,
18:42I hope.
18:42I have an aged parent
18:44at my place.
18:45Good Lord.
18:46My own doing.
18:48Looks pretty,
18:49don't it?
18:50Astonish?
18:50Hmm.
18:51That's a real flagstaff,
18:53you see,
18:53and on Sundays
18:54I run up a real flag.
18:56And after I've crossed
18:57the bridge,
18:57I can hoist it up
18:58and cut off communication.
19:00You wouldn't mind
19:15being introduced
19:15to the aged at once,
19:17would you?
19:17He wouldn't put you out.
19:18We can view the gardens later.
19:20No, of course not.
19:27Well, aged parent,
19:28how are you?
19:30All right, John.
19:32All right.
19:33Here's Mr Pip,
19:35aged parent,
19:36and I wish you could
19:37hear his name.
19:38Nod away at him,
19:39Mr Pip.
19:40That's what he likes.
19:45This is a fine place
19:47of my son, sir.
19:49This is a pretty
19:50pleasure ground.
19:52It ought to be kept
19:53together by the nation
19:55for the people's
19:56enjoyment.
19:57Proud of it
19:58as punch,
19:59ain't you,
20:00aged?
20:00Tip him another
20:01knot if you're not
20:02too tired,
20:03Mr Pip.
20:03You've no idea
20:04how it pleases him.
20:05Is this your own house,
20:16Mr Wemmick?
20:17Hmm.
20:18Oh, by George,
20:19yes.
20:20Yes.
20:20It's frilled.
20:22Got hold of it
20:23a bit at a time.
20:24But sit down,
20:25Mr Pip.
20:26And, uh,
20:27I keep a pig out
20:28at the back
20:28and I keep my own
20:30fowls and rabbits
20:31and I grow my own
20:31cucumbers.
20:32Well, you shall judge
20:33for yourself at supper
20:34what kind of salad
20:34I can raise.
20:36I hope Mr Jaggers
20:37admires it.
20:38Pfft.
20:39Never seen it.
20:40Never even heard of it.
20:42Never even heard
20:42of the age it be.
20:44The office is one thing,
20:46Mr Pip.
20:47My private life
20:48is another.
20:48When I come into the castle,
20:50I leave the office
20:50behind me.
20:51And if it's in no way
20:52disagreeable to you,
20:53you will oblige me
20:54by doing the same.
20:55I do not wish it
20:56professionally spoken about.
20:59Right.
21:05Careful.
21:13Wait a minute.
21:14I have a letter.
21:18Ah.
21:22Right.
21:23Oh.
21:26Oh, here in the corner.
21:40My dear Mr Pip,
21:41I write this
21:43by request of Mr Gargery
21:45to let you know
21:46that he is coming to London
21:47in company with Mr Wopsle
21:48and will be glad
21:49to be allowed to see you.
21:51He will call
21:52at Garden Court
21:53Tuesday at four o'clock
21:54where, if not agreeable,
21:56please leave word.
21:59Your poor sister
22:00is much the same
22:01as when you left.
22:04We talk of you
22:05in the kitchen every night
22:06and wonder what you were doing.
22:10No more now.
22:11Oh, dear Mr Pip,
22:12your ever-obliged
22:13and affectionate servant,
22:15Biddy.
22:17P.S.
22:18Mr Gargery
22:19wishes me most particular
22:20to write
22:21What Larks?
22:23He says you will understand.
22:29Bad news, Handel.
22:31Joe Gargery's coming
22:33to London.
22:34That's splendid.
22:35When does he come?
22:37Tomorrow, for tea.
22:38You don't seem overjoyed,
22:40Handel.
22:42Shall you be here tomorrow,
22:43Herbert?
22:44Well, of course I shall.
22:46I would like very much
22:47to meet him.
22:49Don't you want me to?
22:51To be quite honest with you,
22:53if I could keep him away
22:55by paying him money,
22:56I would.
22:57Thank you for having me on this
23:08and if I could keep him away
23:11so much
23:14I could keep him up
23:14in the shot
23:15and bring him up
23:17without
23:18Hello, Joe. How are you? How are you, sir?
23:35Yes.
23:41Joe, this is Herbert Pocket. Herbert Joe Gargery.
23:46It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr Gargery. Your servant, sir.
23:50I hope as you two gentlemen get your elves in this close spot.
23:54It may be a very good place, according to London opinions,
23:57and I believe it's character do stand I.
23:59But I wouldn't keep a pig in it myself.
24:06Yes, sir.
24:08Oh, could you go in, Mr Gargery?
24:16Give me your hat, Joe.
24:21Oh, you growed and swelled, sir.
24:24Stop calling me sir, Joe.
24:27You're an honour to your queen and country. You're that gentlefolk.
24:31Yes, well, you look wonderfully well, too.
24:34And your sister, she's no worse than she were.
24:37And biddy, she's ever right and ready.
24:39And all your old friends is no backwarder, if not no forwarder,
24:42except in Wopsle. He's had a drop.
24:44A drop? You mean of spirits?
24:47No, no, bless you, sir. I have expectations.
24:49A lowering, I meant.
24:53He's left the church, see, and gone into play-acting.
24:56An actor? How interesting.
24:58Will you take tea, Mr Gargery?
25:00Thank you, sir.
25:01I'll take whatever's most agreeable to yourself.
25:03Since you're so kind as to make a choice of tea,
25:04I'll not run contrary to your opinions.
25:11Good.
25:12Come on.
25:13Come on.
25:14Come on.
25:15Come on.
25:16Come on.
25:17Come on.
25:18Come on, Mr Gargery.
25:19Come on.
25:20Come on.
25:21Come on.
25:22Come on.
25:23Come on.
25:24Come on.
25:25Come on.
25:26Come on.
25:27Come on.
25:28It's the play-acting that's brought Wopsle to London along with me.
25:42Have you seen his performance? I have.
25:44Was there a great sensation?
25:46Well, there certainly were a peck of orange peel.
25:56Thank you, sir.
25:58When did you come to town, Mr. Gargery?
26:02Were it yesterday afternoon?
26:05No, it weren't.
26:05Yes, it were.
26:06Yes, it were yesterday afternoon.
26:08And have you seen anything of London yet?
26:10Oh, yes, sir.
26:11Me and Wopsle went off straight away to look at the black and wear house.
26:14Thank you, sir.
26:15Well, I'm sure you'll forgive me, but I have an appointment in the city.
26:39In any case, I expect you and Handel must have a great deal to talk about.
26:43I shan't be long, and I'll see you for dinner.
26:46Mr. Gargery?
26:48Handel?
26:48Handel, sir?
26:57Oh, for heaven's sake, Joe!
26:59Stop calling me sir!
27:00Thank you, sir.
27:01Thank you, sir.
27:02Thank you, sir.
27:03Thank you, sir.
27:34Mr. Gargery, sir.
27:35Mr. Gargery, she says.
27:36You are in correspondence with Mr. Pip?
27:38Having had a letter from you, I was able to say I am.
27:40Would you tell him then, says she, that Estella has come home and would be glad to see him?
27:44Estella said that?
27:45Well, when I got home, I asked Biddy to write the message to you, but she said you'd be glad to have it by word of mouth.
27:51And since it's a holiday and I wanted to see you, here I am.
28:16I have now concluded, sir, and wish you ever well and ever prospering to a greater and greater height.
28:21Oh, you're not going, Joe. Yes.
28:24But you're coming back to dinner.
28:27Pip, old chap.
28:29You and me is not two people to be together in London.
28:33It ain't that I'm proud, but I want to be right.
28:36I'm wrong in these clothes.
28:37I'm wrong out of the forge or off the marshes.
28:41You won't find half so much fault in me if you think of me in my forge dress
28:44as my hammer in my hand or my pipe.
28:52You come and look in at the forge window and see Joe the blacksmith
28:55there at the old anvil in the old burnt apron, sticking to the old work.
29:00All I'm supposing you should have a wish to see me, that is.
29:03You won't find half so much fault in me then.
29:14God bless you, Pip.
29:18God bless you, dear old chap.
29:20Joe, wait!
29:43Joe!
29:45It was clear that I must repair at once to our town and see Estella
30:09now that she had returned from abroad.
30:12And it was equally clear that I must stay at the forge with Joe and Biddy.
30:16But I began to invent reasons and make excuses for not doing so.
30:20I should be an inconvenience.
30:22I was not expected.
30:24My bed would not be ready.
30:25I should be too far from Miss Havisham's.
30:28In the end, I settled for putting up with a blue boar for the night.
30:32All other swindlers upon earth are nothing to the self-swindlers.
30:37Oh, I'm so frightened.
30:55Hold me, someone!
30:58I don't know you!
31:00Oh, my soul!
31:02I don't know you!
31:04Come in, please, young master.
31:14Ollick!
31:27Come in, please, young master.
31:31It's opposed to my orders to hold the gate open.
31:44What are you doing here?
31:49Ah, young master, there's more changes than yours, ain't there?
31:53Then you've left the forge.
31:54Well, now, do this look like a forge to you?
32:03How did you come here?
32:07I come here on my legs.
32:10And I had my box brought alongside me on a barrow.
32:13But are you here for good?
32:15Well, I ain't here for harm, isn't I?
32:30How long ago did you leave the forge?
32:32One day so like another here, I don't really know.
32:35I come here some time since you left.
32:39Yes.
32:41Well, I could have told you that.
32:43But I mean, you're a scholar, ain't you?
32:49Well, shall we go up?
32:52My orders, Enzio.
33:13See you now?
33:14I do.
33:14Listen to me now.
33:15I don't know what you're talking about.
33:16I don't know what you're talking about.
33:20I don't know what you're talking about.
33:23I thought I was going to be a little more.
33:25But then you can get back to your house.
33:29I I don't know.
33:29I'll be a little better.
33:31I don't know what you're talking about.
33:31But then I don't know.
33:32I'm sorry.
33:33come in Pip. come in. I knew your knock at once.
33:55I heard Miss Havisham that you were so kind as to wish me to come and see you
34:07and I came directly.
34:25well Pip, she much changed. do you find her much changed? remember how proud and
34:43insulting she was? remember how you wanted to go away from her?
34:50that was a long time ago. I must have been a very disagreeable child. is he
34:58changed? oh very much. you were such a singular little creature. less coarse and
35:06common eh?
35:20you have just come back from France I understand. and I shall be coming to
35:26London quite soon. I'm going to Richmond. do you know it? I think it is about ten
35:32miles from the city. I am told there are two Richmonds. as we sat in that familiar room
35:37it was impossible for me to separate her in the past or in the present from the
35:44innermost life of my life. we were of nearly the same age but the air of
35:51inaccessibility which her beauty and her manner gave her tormented me in the midst
35:57of my delight and at the height of the assurance I felt that Miss Havisham had
36:02chosen us for one another. you shall stay to dinner Pip.
36:08love her Pip. if she favours you, love her. if she wounds you, love her. if she tears your heart to pieces, love her.
36:38are you all alone in London? oh no not at all.
36:49Herbert and I are the greatest of friends and the start-op at Hammersmith.
36:53Herbert?
36:55Herbert Pocket. surely you remember. the pale young boy who came here years ago to play with you I believe.
37:03oh yes I watched you fight him. I enjoyed that very much.
37:08you rewarded me very much. did I?
37:11I remember I entertained a great objection to your adversary.
37:15I took it ill that he should be brought here to pester me with his company.
37:19he and I are great friends now. are you?
37:23I read with his father in Hammersmith.
37:26in what way did I reward you?
37:31you allowed me to kiss you.
37:33did I?
37:35you don't remember?
37:36no.
37:40I expect since your change of fortune and prospects you've changed your companions too.
37:45naturally.
37:46unnecessarily I imagine.
37:48what was fit company for you once would be quite unfit company for you now.
37:52what is it?
37:55nothing.
37:56you were staring at my hands.
37:58it was nothing.
38:04pip
38:07you must understand that I have no heart.
38:12I know better.
38:13I am serious.
38:15but there could be no such beauty without it.
38:18oh I have a heart to be stabbed in or shot at.
38:21and of course if it ceased to beat I should cease to be.
38:24but you know what I mean.
38:27I have no softness there.
38:29no sympathy or sentiment.
38:32no nonsense.
38:34if we are to be thrown much together you had better believe it at once.
38:41have you ever...
38:43are you...
38:44I have never bestowed my tenderness anywhere.
38:48oh Estella.
38:55well Pip.
38:58is she beautiful?
39:01is she graceful?
39:04do you admire her?
39:06everybody must who sees her miss Havisham.
39:08I must prepare myself for dinner.
39:15I adopted her to be loved.
39:17I bred her and educated her to be loved.
39:20I bred her and educated her to be loved.
39:22I developed her into what she is that she might be loved.
39:25you must love her Pip.
39:26love her.
39:27love her.
39:28I'll tell you what real love is.
39:29it is abject devotion.
39:30it is unquestioning self-humiliation.
39:31it is utter self-humiliation.
39:32it is utter submission,
39:33trust
39:34and belief against yourself and against the whole world.
39:36it is unquestioning self-humiliation.
39:37it is utter submission,
39:38trust
39:39and belief against yourself and against the whole world.
39:41I bred her and educated her to be loved.
39:42I developed her into what she is that she might be loved.
39:44you must love her, Pip.
39:45love her.
39:46I'll tell you what real love is.
39:50it is abject devotion.
39:52it is unquestioning self-humiliation.
39:55it is utter submission,
39:57trust
39:58and belief against yourself and against the whole world.
40:02giving your whole heart and soul to the beloved.
40:07as I did.
40:09indeed.
40:11singular.
40:12Mr Jaggers.
40:14Mr Jaggers.
40:16Jaggers.
40:17come to see me on business.
40:19as punctual as ever, Jaggers.
40:22punctual as ever, ma'am.
40:24how to do, Pip?
40:26should you not be studying with Mr Pocket?
40:30it's Saturday.
40:32I'm here to see Estella.
40:34ah, yes, of course.
40:37very fine young lady, Miss Estella.
40:40how often have you seen her before?
40:43how often?
40:45hmm, how many times?
40:46I have no idea.
40:4810,000 times?
40:49not nearly so many.
40:51twice.
40:52three times.
40:53Jaggers.
40:54leave Pip alone.
40:55go with him to your dinner.
40:57go.
41:00how often have you seen her eat or drink?
41:04never.
41:05never will.
41:06never allowed herself to be seen doing either since she lived this present life of hers.
41:11she wanders about in the night and lays hands on such food as she takes.
41:17Mr Jaggers.
41:18may I ask you a question?
41:20you may.
41:21and I may decline to answer it.
41:24Estella's name.
41:26is it Havisham or...
41:27or what?
41:28well, is it Havisham?
41:33it is Havisham.
41:37who's that?
41:40his name's Orlick.
41:41he's the porter here.
41:43you know him?
41:44he worked once at Joe Gargery's forge.
41:46hmm.
41:47never used to be a porter here.
41:50well, there is now, master.
41:52and it's easier than bellows in Anamarin, I can tell you.
41:56who recommended you?
41:57how'd he come to be here?
41:59thought about there was no protection on the premises, master.
42:02dangerous sea, what with ragtag and bobtail going up and down outside.
42:08and convicts.
42:11well done, loaded.
42:15man's an imbecile.
42:18Mr Jaggers,
42:19I don't think Orlick's the right sort of man to fill a post of trust.
42:22well, of course he's not the right sort of man, Pip,
42:25because the man who fills a post of trust never is the right sort of man.
42:30very well, Pip, I'll see that he's paid off.
42:32oh, well, perhaps you should delay that a little.
42:34I mean, he might have changed since I knew him.
42:36ha!
42:37he could be difficult to deal with, Mr Jaggers.
42:39oh, no, he won't.
42:40I'd like to see him argue the question with me.
42:42oh, you enemy, Pip,
42:45burn me if I don't have your life one day.
42:50and then, after Miss Havisham and Jaggers had finished their business,
42:53we all played whist in front of the fire till nine o'clock.
42:56well, Jaggers stared and stared at Estella
42:59as if his eyes would start from his head.
43:01at her face or the jewels in her hair.
43:03if you could only have seen her
43:05so cool and elegant and lovely.
43:09human perfection, Herbert.
43:11she sounds irresistible.
43:13I know what you feel.
43:16but I love her.
43:18against reason.
43:20against promise.
43:22against hope.
43:23against happiness.
43:24against any discouragement.
43:30you should have visited Joe Gardery.
43:32be very upset when he finds you were so close and never went to see him.
43:34oh, there just wasn't time.
43:38when does Estella come to London?
43:40next Thursday.
43:41by the midday coach.
43:43I'm to meet her and take her to Richmond.
43:45I must buy myself a new suit for the occasion.
43:48oh, money, money, money.
43:49does it all come to money?
43:51what is it, Herbert?
43:52I've never seen you like this before.
43:54sorry, Handel.
43:55did something happen last night while I was away?
43:58no.
43:59and I've never seen you up so late in the morning either.
44:01even on a Sunday.
44:02it was only that
44:04I had time last night to think a great deal.
44:07I looked into my affairs, Handel.
44:09I took the foe by the throat and...
44:13he throttled me.
44:14well, I'm terribly in debt and I don't know what to do.
44:17I don't think I spend foolishly
44:19but I seem to get into difficulties in every direction.
44:21see?
44:24bills.
44:26all of them unpaid.
44:28and they're mounting up, Handel.
44:31upon my life they're mounting up.
44:33just look at them.
44:36be firm, Herbert.
44:38look the thing in the face.
44:39oh, what a fellow of resource you are.
44:41really, your business parlors are truly remarkable.
44:43stare them out of countenance, I would.
44:45they're staring me out of countenance.
44:47oh, Herbert, we've spoken of this before.
44:50and let me take on your expenses.
44:52certainly not.
44:53oh, but I have the resources.
44:54no, Handel, and please don't ever make such a proposal again.
44:58anyway, it would only get me deeper into debt.
45:01every morning I go to the city where I sit at a desk and consort with an ink jar, an almanac and a ruler.
45:07I have nothing to do all day, Handel, except to go to Lloyd's at a certain hour every afternoon.
45:11what do you do there?
45:12I come back again.
45:13truth is I shall never find an opening in my present employment.
45:17even consider buying a rifle and going to America.
45:20whatever for?
45:21I had some idea about compelling buffalos to make my fortune.
45:24ha!
45:25oh, Herbert, really!
45:28there's something else, Handel.
45:29yes?
45:30I've been meaning to tell you for weeks.
45:33can you keep secrets, Handel?
45:38I'm engaged to be married.
45:40how could you have kept that from me?
45:42it wasn't easy.
45:43why? why did you keep it?
45:44because my father mustn't know, not yet anyway.
45:46oh, but I'm delighted, old chum!
45:48congratulations!
45:50it's a secret, mind.
45:54may I ask her name?
45:57name of Clara.
45:58Clara Barley.
46:00well, here's to Clara.
46:07does she live here in London?
46:09I don't expect my parents will approve.
46:11Clara's rather below my mother's nonsensical family notions.
46:14her father had to do with the fiddling of passenger ships.
46:18I think he was a kind of purser.
46:20oh, what is he now?
46:22he's an invalid.
46:23living on?
46:24on the first floor.
46:25I've never met him, but I've heard him constantly.
46:27he makes a tremendous row upstairs every time I call on Clara,
46:30banging on the floor and such.
46:32well, I expect you'll meet him soon.
46:33oh, I constantly expect to meet him.
46:35if he keeps up the banging, one day he'll come through the raft.
46:38yes.
46:40so you see how it is, Handel?
46:42Clara and I want so much to be married soon.
46:45but we can't until I begin to realize some capital.
46:48hello, Mr Pitt.
46:50oh, hello, Mr Wemmick.
46:51how are you?
46:52oh, flourishing, thank ye.
46:56and how are you, Mr Pitt?
46:58oh, in fine feather, thank you.
46:59I hope Mr Jaggers is in.
47:00I haven't much time to spare him.
47:02just left him in Newgate.
47:03oh, will he be long?
47:05what is Mr Jaggers doing at the prison?
47:08having a word with a client
47:09we're in a banker's parcels case at present.
47:12Mr Wemmick, sir.
47:13how are you, Colonel?
47:14go on, Mr Wemmick, sir.
47:15everything was done that could be done, you know.
47:17yes, sir.
47:18Mr Wemmick, sir.
47:19evidence was too strong for us, Colonel.
47:22served his majesty, that man.
47:26soldier of the line.
47:28bought his discharge.
47:30did your client commit the robbery in the banker's parcel case?
47:34oh, bless your body and soul, no.
47:36he is accused of it, but then so might you or I be.
47:40only neither of us is.
47:43oh, you're a deep one, Mr Pitt.
47:48tell us, Mr Wemmick,
47:49what's Jaggers going to do about that Warpside murder?
47:52why don't you ask him?
47:54what, is he going to make it manslaughter or what?
47:56let us in, you old fox,
47:57or I'll get him to bring an action against you.
47:59just one of your apprentices, Mr Wemmick.
48:08pay no attention, Mr Pitt.
48:10that's the way with them here.
48:11they'll say anything in front of me, the subordinate,
48:14but you'll never catch them asking questions of the principal.
48:19Mr Wemmick,
48:21since he's not here,
48:23perhaps I could ask your advice.
48:25on what, Mr Pitt?
48:27well, I have a friend who's trying to get in on commercial life,
48:31but has no money.
48:33I would like somehow to help him to a beginning.
48:38with money down?
48:40well, with some money down.
48:42oh!
48:46sit down, Mr Pitt.
48:50I should just like to run over with you, on my fingers,
48:53the names of the various bridges up as high as Chelsea reach.
48:57now, let's see, there's London, one,
49:01Southwark, two, Blackfriars, three, Waterloo, four,
49:05Westminster, five,
49:07and Vauxhall, six.
49:09you see, as many as six to choose from.
49:12I don't understand.
49:14choose your bridge, Mr Pitt,
49:16and pitch your money into the Thames over the centre arch.
49:20you're being very discouraging, Mr Wemmick.
49:23meant to be.
49:24throw your money into the water and you'll know the end of it.
49:27serve it up to a friend and you'll know the end of it too.
49:30but it's a less pleasant and profitable end.
49:33then it's your opinion that a man should never...
49:35invest portable property in a friend.
49:37certainly he shouldn't.
49:39unless, of course, he wishes to get rid of the friend.
49:42then it becomes a question of how much portable property
49:44it may be worth to get rid of him.
49:46and that is your deliberate opinion?
49:48it is.
49:49at least in this office it is.
49:52ah.
49:54so it wouldn't be your opinion outside this office,
49:58in Walworth's setting.
50:00Walworth is one place, this office is another.
50:02they mustn't be confounded together.
50:04none but my official sentiments may be taken in this office.
50:08could you not perhaps pretend for a moment that you were at home?
50:11I do need your advice, Mr Wemmick.
50:13and you have so much experience and knowledge of men and affairs.
50:24who is this friend?
50:27Herbert Pocket.
50:29he has no means except those he's dependent on his father for.
50:32and those are quite uncertain, I understand.
50:35I have a great affection for Herbert, Mr Wemmick.
50:38and I wish to help him to some immediate income.
50:41say...
50:42say a hundred a year.
50:44to keep him in good hope and heart.
50:46perhaps even gradually to buy him onto some small partnership.
50:49now of course it would all have to be done without his knowledge and suspicion.
50:54he's very proud.
51:09I know this all must be very troublesome for you, I'm sorry.
51:12I'll tell you one thing, Mr Pip.
51:14it's devilish good of you to be thinking of doing this.
51:17then you will help me to be good.
51:19that's not my trade.
51:20please.
51:21very well.
51:23when I get home I'll put on my considering cap.
51:26thank you, Mr Wemmick.
51:28thank you ten thousand times.
51:30on the contrary, I should thank you.
51:32something like this brushes away the nougat cobwebs.
51:42well, I don't think the coaching department can be doing very well.
51:46combination of stable and soup stock.
51:51you are to pay my charges from this Pip.
51:55no, I shall take care of all that myself.
51:57oh, but you must take it.
51:59we have no choice you and I but to obey our instructors.
52:06Miss Havisham says I am to rest here a while and I'm to drink some tea and you are to take care of me.
52:11we are not free to follow our own devices, you see.
52:18am I to come to Richmond with you?
52:20no, just see me safely onto the post coach.
52:22I am to be met on Richmond Green.
52:32do you know London well?
52:34hardly at all.
52:35I've merely passed through it on my way to France and back.
52:39tell me, what manner of building was it just before we arrived here?
52:43the grim place with the high walls.
52:47close to Cheapside you mean?
52:48I believe so, yes.
52:50Newgate Prison.
52:52I thought I saw Mr. Jaggers going in.
52:54Mr. Jaggers has the reputation of being more in the secrets of that dismal place than any man in London.
53:00he is more in the secrets of every place I think.
53:04you've been accustomed to see him often I suppose.
53:07ever since I can remember.
53:09but I know him no better now than I did when I was a child.
53:12what is your experience of him?
53:14do you know him well?
53:16well I've dined with him at his private house.
53:19I fancy that must be a curious place.
53:22well he's a curious man.
53:30where are you going to at Richmond?
53:41to live at great expense with a widow called Brandly.
53:46and will Miss Havisham have any charge over you while you're there?
53:49god forbid!
53:51is it a large household?
53:53only Mrs. Brandly and her daughter.
53:55I wonder Miss Havisham could part with you again so soon?
53:58oh it's all part of her plans for me.
54:01do those plans include me Estella?
54:04I do hope I shall see you sometimes.
54:06oh yes.
54:07you are to come whenever you think proper.
54:10you've already been mentioned to the family.
54:15Herbert!
54:16get up you lazy fellow.
54:17come on up up up!
54:19tonight we celebrate.
54:21well Estella is here.
54:23she's here Herbert.
54:24I've seen her.
54:25touched her.
54:26I'm to see her often.
54:27it's agreed.
54:28I could call on her whenever I think proper.
54:30and of course I shall think it proper every day.
54:32what is it Herbert?
54:33what's the matter?
54:34not more debts.
54:35joe gargery was here.
54:36joe here?
54:37well where is he now?
54:38is he returning?
54:40his wife is dead.
54:42i'm so sorry.
54:44your sister handle.
54:46she died yesterday.
54:47her sister handle.
54:48she died yesterday.
54:49i'm so sorry.
54:50she died yesterday.
54:52i'm so sorry.
