00:00You
00:30My dear Amelia, here we continue in Arcadian simplicity at Queen's Crawley,
00:42or humdrum hall, as I call it to myself.
00:46My charges give me little trouble being as slow-witted and as good-natured as their mother,
00:51who lies in bed most of the day because she can think of nothing else to do.
00:56I've become a great favourite with Sir Pitt.
01:00And help him daily with his accounts.
01:03There, Sir.
01:04£79, 13 shillings and thropence.
01:08Well done, Becky Sharp.
01:12You're a clever little hussy.
01:15My God, you are.
01:18Come and sit on mine here a minute.
01:20No.
01:22What would Lady Crawley say?
01:25Never mind Lady Crawley.
01:27I'm Master.
01:29Here.
01:32We are all in a great state preparing for the arrival of Sir Pitt's sister, Miss Crawley.
01:37A very great fortune.
01:39And the servants have been killing and dressing half the animals in the county all this last week.
01:43She's coming!
01:44She's coming!
01:45She's coming!
01:46She's coming!
01:47She's coming up the drive!
01:48She's coming!
01:49She's coming!

02:10She's coming!
02:11She's coming!
02:12She's coming!
02:13She's coming!
02:14She's coming!
02:15How are you, dear brother?
02:16All the better for seeing you, dear lady.
02:20Drunk, sir.
02:22You're looking very pale and pasty, Betsy.
02:26You should take more exercise.
02:28Ah.
02:30Little pit.
02:31Still at your pamphlets?
02:33On behalf of these...
02:35Beauty!
02:36Is that a black eye?
02:38Have you been fighting again?
02:39I had to teach a fellow a lesson at Croeba Races, ma'am.
02:42Looks like he's taught you one.
02:47Mrs. Bute, I've left my toady Briggs behind in London.
02:52Perhaps I'll let you be my toady here.
02:57And who's this?
03:01I'm Rebecca Sharp. I'm the new governess.
03:04If you please, ma'am.
03:05Now, girls.
03:06Very edifying, I'm sure.
03:23Teaching them French, eh?
03:25Très bien, ma petite.
03:28Merci, madame.
03:29How I wish I could teach them to speak with an accent so good as yours.
03:34Miss Sharp, is it?
03:36Hey, you look a sharp little minx to me, too.
03:39Mind you don't cut yourself.
03:45Where's Rorden?
03:47It's not like him to neglect his aunt, scoundrel though he is.
03:50Indeed, we expect him at any moment, ma'am.
03:58Get on, you brute!
04:00There's money in this, you know. Come on!
04:06A thousand apologies, ma'am.
04:11Came as quick as I could.
04:13Well, you rascal!
04:16Looking very well, ma'am.
04:17I don't expect to see the year out, Rorden.
04:20Which is why you're all so keen and eager to dance attendance.
04:23Come up to the drawing room, ma'am.
04:27Rest your feet.
04:28Very good.
04:31Hey, new blood in the schoolroom, pa?
04:34I said, that's the new governess.
04:37Miss Sharp.
04:38Is it, by child?
04:38I'll have the little governess sitting by me at dinner.
04:49I like her looks.
04:50And Rorden on the other side.
04:52But, ma'am, Miss Sharp takes her dinners in the schoolroom.
04:55Tonight she don't.
04:57I want little Miss Sharp by me.
05:02Ridiculous.
05:04Pushers, I am fraud.
05:05Miss Sharp at the bottom of the table.
05:13No, I won't hear of it.
05:15I want her sitting by me and young Rorden on the other side.
05:20Go and sit with the Wapshots, Lady Huddleston.
05:22Your conversation is not required at present.
05:26We three must stick together.
05:28Nothing's actually done, my friend.
05:29You come and sit by me, Lady H.
05:31We're the only Christians in the county.
05:35Did you hear that, Bute?
05:38Or would he?
05:40Look how she brings, the little minx.
05:42Very true.
05:45What is birth after all, my dear?
05:50Look at my brother Pitt there.
05:52No more brains than he was born with.
05:55And look at the Huddlestons.
05:57They've been here since Henry II.
05:59And the Wapshots.
06:01No.
06:02None of them have half the wit, breeding and beauty that you do.
06:07You're worth ten of them, my dear.
06:09You and I and Rorden here.
06:11Is the captain very clever, then, Miss Corner?
06:13Clever?
06:16No.
06:16Oh, but he's handsome enough and wicked enough, isn't you, Rorden?
06:21Don't know about that, ma'am.
06:24Fought three jewels killed his man every time.
06:27No, no, that's not quite true, ma'am.
06:28The second girl's father shot him through the hat only, you know.
06:33He has an eye for the ladies, too, you see, Miss Sharp.
06:36Fonder of you than any of them, though, aren't you?
06:38Oh, Lord, hear the villain talk.
06:43But that was the best part of Lord Nelson's character.
06:46He went to the deuce for a woman.
06:50I wish some great man would run away with you, my dear.
06:55Lord knows you're pretty enough.
06:56Oh, yes, indeed.
07:01So what other delights have you to offer?
07:04Ami, dans cette vie, livrons-nous au changement.
07:14Car le goût qui nous lie n'est pas vie, s'il est constant.
07:24Prenons-te l'amour et de vin, mon ami.
07:27Prenons-te l'amour et de vin.
07:31Prenons-te l'amour et de vin.
07:33Mon ami, c'est le plus tout d'estin.
07:38Give us love, give us love, and wine for our cares.
07:41Give us love, give us love, give us wine.
07:45Give us love, give us love, give us wine for our cares.
07:49No life could be more fine.
07:52Give us love, give us love, and wine for our cares.
07:55Give us love, give us love, give us wine.
07:59Give us love, give us love, give us wine for our cares.
08:02What life could be more fine?
08:07Bravo!
08:23They're stars.
08:27I feel myself almost a spirit when I gaze upon them.
08:31So do I, by God.
08:36You, uh...
08:39You don't mind the smell of my cigar, do you, Peggy?
08:41No.
08:43Mmm, I love it.
08:45The night air, you know.
08:47Beyond anything.
08:49I wonder, might I?
08:53What?
08:54You wouldn't tell.
08:57What, I?
08:58No.
09:00Never, damn it.
09:03Uh, what?
09:04No.
09:06No.
09:36Mutton soup and mutton to follow.
09:45Nothing could be finer except in a nice bit of tripe.
09:50Play, ma'am, Becky.
09:52Come, sir, my name.
09:54Oh, that's pipped to a tee.
09:57Now, what about his good lady?
10:00Oh, Miss Sharp.
10:02Please be kind to my poor parents.
10:06Oh, Becky Sharp.
10:08Good obsession.
10:12Look at that.
10:14That girl's a venetable snake in the grass.
10:18Oh, my name.
10:20Oh, my there is.
10:30Oh, my there is.
10:35Oh, my there is.
10:37Becky.
10:50Becky.
10:51I can't do without you.
11:02I think you can.
11:04Just.
11:05Becky.
11:06Becky.
11:07Becky.
11:08Becky.
11:09Becky.
11:10Where'd Becky been here?
11:15We've been looking for you all over.
11:20Your girl's been took by and she'd been asking and asking for you.
11:25I'm not directly.
11:26Yes, ma'am.
11:27Yes, ma'am.
11:28Yes, ma'am.
11:29Come here, Becky.
11:34They all think I'm on my deathbed, but I'm not, am I?
11:38Tell me truly.
11:39No, ma'am.
11:40I don't think so.
11:41Then what is the matter with me?
11:44To be honest, ma'am, I think it's just a case of too many lobsters and a bit too much wine and brandy.
11:54A little rest and you'll be right as rain.
11:57Yes.
11:58Yes.
11:59Yes.
12:00Yes.
12:01You understand my constitution.
12:04Well, I won't stay here to be poisoned.
12:09I shall go back to Park Lane.
12:12And you shall come with me, Becky, to be my chief nurse and companion.
12:19That'll put Briggs's nose out of joint.
12:23I'm very flattered, ma'am.
12:25But what would Sir Pitt say?
12:26Pitt will do as I tell him.
12:28And, er, will your other favourite be allowed to visit in Park Lane, ma'am?
12:38Rawdon?
12:40You like the captain, do you, eh, Becky?
12:44Well, enough, ma'am, I confess.
12:47He's a little wild.
12:49Don't the girls prefer a rake to a milksop, eh, Becky?
12:54But you be careful.
12:57Rawdon has to make his way in the world.
13:00It's not for you.
13:02I hope I'll always know my place, ma'am.
13:08Yes.
13:09Don't glass it all to hell.
13:20First off, she has to go and recover.
13:23When we were reliably assured she was a goner.
13:27And now she says she's taking my lovely Becky Sharp away with her to London.
13:34I'll tell you what that is.
13:37It's enticement.
13:39And it's abduction.
13:41And I'll have the law onto her.
13:45I will.
13:46No, you won't, Sir Pitt.
13:48Not if you want a sniff of her money when she do pop off.
13:55Well, it...
13:57It ain't right.
14:00And it ain't fair.
14:02Oh, Becky.
14:04Becky.
14:06Oh, I shall miss you.
14:07Oh, Becky. Becky.
14:11Captain Crawley.
14:13Oh!
14:15Mrs Bute.
14:17I...
14:19How shall I put this?
14:21Couldn't help noticing a certain tenderness between you and the bewitching little Miss Sharp.
14:29Don't see is it's any of your business, Mrs Bute.
14:33But, er...
14:35Yes, I...
14:37I do think she's a damn fine girl.
14:38Oh!
14:39Poor innocent Captain.
14:42Huh?
14:43Don't you see?
14:44She's well on the way to becoming your stepmother.
14:48Stepmother?
14:50If anything happened to Lady Crawley, who's not of the most robust constitution.
14:58Oh, you may not have noticed.
15:01But your papa's grown very fond of little Miss Sharp.
15:05No.
15:09Good God.
15:11Just tell me, dammit, is there any truth in it?
15:13That he's fond of me.
15:15Do you think I can't defend my own honour?
15:18Do you suppose I have no self-respect because I'm poor and friendless?
15:23You should know.
15:25I'm a Montmorency on my mother's side.
15:27Do you think a Montmorency is not worthy to be seen with a Crawley?
15:30No.
15:32Hang it, that's not what...
15:33No.
15:35I can endure poverty.
15:37Not shame.
15:39Neglect.
15:41But not insult.
15:43An insult from you.
15:45Who am I?
15:49Becky.
15:52Miss Sharp.
15:55That is not what I meant.
15:59Just tell me how to make amends.
16:01I'll do anything.
16:04Damn, plastic girl, I'm in love with you.
16:12My dearest, dearest Rebecca.
16:14How happy I was to read your letter and learn that you were not entirely miserable at Queen's Crawley.
16:19I note a great many mentions of the Captain.
16:24As for me, I have not seen my dearest George for some days.
16:27Regimental duties are so irksome.
16:32But perhaps...
16:34I do believe...
16:39Captain...
16:41Dobbin, Miss.
16:43Oh.
16:44Captain Dobbin.
16:57My good friend, George Osborn.
16:58Yes?
16:59He sends his compliments, Miss Sedley.
17:00He had hoped to call this morning.
17:02But he is detained.
17:03Regimental duties?
17:04Yes.
17:05Regimental duties?
17:07Yes.
17:09Yes, regimental duties.
17:11As you say.
17:12Again?
17:13Again.
17:14Again.
17:15Again.
17:16Captain Dobbin?
17:17Yes, Miss Sedley.
17:18You're his friend.
17:19He tells you everything.
17:20He tells you everything.
17:21That is...
17:22I'm such a silly creature.
17:23It's just that when so many days go by, he does still...
17:31You would tell me if...
17:33What is it, Miss Sedley?
17:34He does still care for me.
17:41All with all his heart, Miss Sedley.
17:42I am sure of it.
17:43Oh!
17:44Oh!
17:45He does still...
17:48You would tell me if...
17:51What is it, Miss Sedley?
17:57He does still care for me.
18:02All with all his heart, Miss Sedley.
18:05I am sure of it.
18:07Oh!
18:11How could he not?
18:12Oh, Captain Dobbin, you are so good.
18:17Would you be very kind and take a letter to him?
18:21It would be an honour, Miss Sedley.
18:25No, no, no.
18:27Do you slander me, gentlemen?
18:28Then what about that judge's daughter at Demerara?
18:31She was almost mad about him.
18:33Much exaggerated, Stubble.
18:35And what about that beautiful quadroon girl at St Vincent's?
18:38Miss Pie.
18:40Miss Pie? By God, that was her name.
18:42Miss Pie.
18:44Dobbin, go and have breakfast.
18:46What do you have, mine? Thanks.
18:47Then have another one. Best meal of the day.
18:50And me.
18:52Damn me if it's not another Billy Doo.
18:55The fellow should be gelded, if you ask me.
18:58Who is it, Otterborn?
19:00Is it the judge's daughter?
19:03Another of his little opera girls more likely.
19:06No, no, no.
19:07Why don't you tell them, George?
19:11Tell them what, Dobbin?
19:12Tell them you're engaged.
19:14Engaged?
19:18Yes, engaged.
19:20To the finest girl who ever lived.
19:22Miss Amelia Sedley.
19:23And the man who calls her name is a better not do so in my hearing.
19:41Damn you, Dobbin.
19:42Who the deuce asked you to talk about my affairs?
19:45And what right have you to tell all and sundry that I am engaged?
19:48Why should I not?
19:49Are you ashamed of it?
19:51She's a sweet girl and you're neglecting her.
19:54You don't mean to break it off, do you?
19:55It would be none of your damn business if I did.
20:00You'd break her heart, George.
20:05No, hang it, Dobbin.
20:07I don't mean to break it off.
20:10I'm very fond of Amelia.
20:13I adore her and...
20:15all that sort of thing.
20:18But a man must have a little fling before he settles down.
20:23Everybody understands that.
20:25I have been neglecting her.
20:31I shall go into town and buy her a present.
20:33Damn it, if I don't.
20:35And you shall come to Russell Square for dinner with my sister.
20:38And you shall come to Dobbin to see fair play.
20:40How's that?
20:42Excellent.
20:44As to the present,
20:45I had a damnable run of bad luck with the cards last night, Dobbin,
20:50and...
20:51I find myself...
20:55in short,
20:57if you could see your way.
21:04Just a few guineas for a little trinket for the sweet girl.
21:08Oh, gladly, George.
21:10I know you'd share your last shilling with me if I needed it.
21:12Yes, I would, by God.
21:17I would indeed.
21:18You're absolutely right.
22:02Yes, sir?
22:08Yes, I'm looking for a little trinket, don't you know?
22:12Nothing extravagant, nothing too showy.
22:16Just a little dress pin, say, it's for a young lady.
22:20Yes, indeed, sir, a young lady.
22:22Here we are, sir.
22:24Ah.
22:26Ah.
22:32Hmm.
22:39Hmm.
22:42What are those?
22:45Why, those are shirt pins, sir.
22:47Yes.
22:54Yes.
22:55Gentlemen, shirt pins, sir.
23:03Yes.
23:07Let's leave them, then.
23:08How strange that we are all sitting here together.
23:23Captain Dobby.
23:41Miss Sedley.
23:44George is in town, Papa, but we'll be here for dinner.
23:46He will, will he?
23:47Well, if he thinks I'll wait for his conveniences.
23:51Sorry I'm late, Pa.
23:56It's going to be your tea for me, lad.
23:58We wouldn't have waited for you, you know that, don't you?
24:01I do indeed, sir.
24:03Higgs, dinner.
24:05Well, let's go in.
24:07Good diving, old friend.
24:08George.
24:08I'm here, Leah.
24:15You were so long coming.
24:18Couldn't be helped, Emi.
24:21What a beautiful shirt pin.
24:23Is it new?
24:26Yes.
24:28Well, that is to say, er...
24:30Yes.
24:33It is.
24:36I thought I hadn't seen it before.
24:38Now, Captain Dobbin?
24:43The Battle of Leipzig?
24:45Why should I or any other Englishman bother his head over the Battle of Leipzig?
24:53200,000 men died there, sir.
24:59But not 200,000 Englishmen, eh?
25:03Eh?
25:03No, that's very true, sir.
25:10And now peace is declared.
25:12Boney's in exile.
25:14The only snag is there's damn all for us military men to do.
25:18Well, I confess I'm very glad to hear it.
25:21I couldn't bear to think of you in mortal danger.
25:24Or Captain Dobbin.
25:25There it is.
25:34All the hopes that we've made
25:40If your smiles had left me too
25:45I'd weep when friends deceived me
25:53If you were like them untrue
25:58Now, George,
26:01I want to speak to you on a matter of importance.
26:03I want to know how you and that little thing through there are carrying on.
26:09Heh.
26:11Well, sir, it's not hard to see.
26:15It's pretty clear, sir, I think.
26:18Pretty clear, sir?
26:20What do you mean?
26:20Oh, dang it, father, I'm a modest man.
26:26I don't set out to be a lady killer.
26:30Do I, Dob?
26:32But she is as devilish fond of me as she can be.
26:39What about you, you rogue?
26:41What, sir, didn't you order me to marry her?
26:43And ain't I a good boy?
26:45Didn't you and Mr Sedley make the match a hundred years ago?
26:49Yes, well, I don't deny it.
26:50But people's positions alter, sir.
26:57Now you're an officer.
27:00You rub shoulders with Lord Tarquin.
27:02Captain Rawdon Crawley of the Guards.
27:04All that's set.
27:07So why shouldn't you marry higher than a stockbroker's daughter?
27:11That's what I should like to know.
27:15Marry higher, sir?
27:17Aye.
27:19Why not?
27:20Why do you stay here?
27:29I don't deny that Sedley gave him my start in business.
27:33Well, I've shown my gratitude.
27:35And he's tried it of late, as my checkbook could testify.
27:37George, he's not the man he was.
27:45I'll tell you in confidence.
27:47I don't like the look of his affairs.
27:54Unless I see Miss Amelia's 10,000 down, you don't marry her.
27:57And you can tell her that yourself.
28:02I'll have no lame duck's daughter in this family, sir.
28:08Pass the Madeira.
28:09If you haven't anything better to say for yourselves, you can go and join the young ladies.
28:18Go on!
28:18Delightful.
28:19Delightful.
28:20We saw the lights across the square.
28:34Did you enjoy yourself, my love?
28:36Oh, yes.
28:37Did Mr. Osborne mention my name, Emmy, in the way of business?
28:40No, Papa.
28:46Not in my hearing.
28:58Well, that might be a good thing.
29:08there you go, my dear.
29:08Your young people need your sleep.
29:10Good night, papa. Good night, lover.
29:12Good night, my love.
29:18There. There you are, you see.
29:21He's heard nothing.
29:23Or he thinks little of it.
29:25Well, perhaps.
29:27John, didn't you stake him at first?
29:30He'd be nothing if you hadn't given him his start,
29:33and he knows that.
29:35Look.
29:38Go to his office tomorrow morning.
29:41He'll see you right.
29:43There's some folk who can't forgive you for a good deed, Mrs Sedley.
30:05Come on, come on.
30:21That girl's not what she seems, Bute.
30:24My lovely Lancelot can lick any dog in the country, can't you, eh, my boy?
30:28She's no Montmorency.
30:30I have written to Miss Pinkerton,
30:33who informs me that her father was a drunken drawing master
30:36who died of delirium tremors.
30:38Any damn dog in the country, eh, my boy?
30:41Knowledge is power, Bute.
30:47Better pursue her little intrigues.
30:50When the time is right, all should be over here.
30:54Dear old Park Lane, I feel better already.
31:18I feel so much better, Becky, than I think I could bear a little society.
31:32Miss Briggs, I suppose you mean.
31:34She's been sobbing on the landing these three days.
31:37No, I do not mean Briggs.
31:40I mean pretty, lively young people like yourself
31:44and that young rascal, Rawdon.
31:49That pretty little friend you told me of
31:52and her fiancé, the vain young officer.
31:56I have a whim. I should like to see them.
31:59Then you shall, Miss Crawley.
32:01Mm.
32:07Shall I go into her, Miss Sharp?
32:10No, Miss Briggs.
32:11She has no need of you just now.
32:13Or you, Mr. Raggles.
32:15Sorry.
32:16Why? Why, Matilda?
32:19Have I not tended that dear couch for years?
32:23And now she prefers someone else.
32:26I'll soon be gone back to my little pupils and their mother,
32:29who is a great deal poorlier than our friend in there.
32:32No need for you and I to be enemies.
32:37Dad!
32:42The aunt is resting.
32:44It's not my aunt but I'll come to see you.
32:48to see my dear sharp your young friend is charming I'm the young man such a fine
33:16figure just as you promised his father's one of those city fellas you know you can hardly tell the
33:26difference won 200 off him at billiards once wonder if he plays pk
33:31how do you like your new place my place I'm kind of you to remind me of it we're not so wealthy in
33:59Hampshire as you city people but then I am in a gentleman's family now I seem to remember you
34:06liked the city families rather well a little while ago well dear Amelia is a pearl she would
34:12be charming anywhere or perhaps you're thinking of mr. joss and what an honor it would have been
34:19for me to be sister-in-law to George Osborne Esquire son of John Osborne Esquire son of
34:27what was your grandfather mr. Osborne well don't be angry you can't help your pedigree can you
34:37know our little miss sharp be yours born miss sharp indeed

34:58hmm I know women crawley and I advise you to be on your guard oh well thank you my boy
35:10hmm you're wide awake I say
35:13hmm
35:31My dear Becky, I'm pleased to come back as quick as may be, because all goes wrong without you here.
35:52Lady C has gone into a decline and has not spoke for a week.
35:57The girls have run wild. All me accounts is in confusion. Black Sow is sick of a fever.
36:06We are none of us happy since you were gone, Becky.
36:11I'll go and fetch her home myself.
36:18Begging your pardon, Sir Pit?
36:23Yes, yes. What now?
36:24She's dead, Sir Pit.
36:28What, my good Black Sow?
36:30No, Sir Pit. Your wife.
36:39She's too ill to see you, sir.
36:41So much the better. I want to see you, Miss Peggy.
36:45Now, Miss Peggy, what it is, sir, I want you back at Queen's Crawley. There.
37:00Well, I hope to come as soon as Miss Crawley's better, sir, and to return to the dear children. And to you, sir.
37:09You've said so these months, Betty, and still you go hanging on to my sister, who'll fend you off like an old shoe when she's worn you out. I tell you, I want you.
37:22Now, I'm going back to the funeral. Will you come back? Yes or no?
37:27I don't think it would be right, sir, to be alone with you.
37:38Well, I say again, I want you. I can't get on without you. I didn't see what it was till you went away. The household goes wrong. It's not the same place.
37:58Well, my accounts have gotten muddled again. You must come back. Get back here. Do come.
38:10Come as what, sir?
38:13Come as... Come as Lady Crawley, if you like.
38:19There. Well, that's that for you. Come back and be my wife, dammit. You'll fit for it.
38:29Sir Pit.
38:31I'm an old'un for a good'un.
38:33Oh, I'm... I'm good for 20 years. I'll make you happy, see if I don't.
38:39You shall do what you like. Spend what you like. You shall have everything your own way. I'll do everything right.
38:45Look here.
38:55Sir Pit, I... I can't.
38:59I... I'm married already.
39:04Married?
39:06I'm so sorry, sir.
39:09Please...
39:11Get up.
39:13Married?
39:14You're joking. Who'll go to marry you without a shilling to your name?
39:20Sir, please don't think me. I'm grateful for all your goodness to me. It's only your generosity that has extorted my secret.
39:27Generosity be hanged. Who is it you're married to?
39:32Let me come back to the country with you, sir. I can't be your wife, sir, but...
39:39Let me...
39:41Oh, dear, Sir Pit.
39:43Let me be your daughter.
39:46Oh, the lady on her knees and not the gentleman. I was informed it was the other way round.
39:57I was thanking Sir Pit, ma'am.
40:02For his extreme kindness.
40:06In making me an offer.
40:09And telling him...
40:12Telling him that I could never become Lady Crawley.
40:18You refused him?
40:21Pray, Miss Sharp.
40:24Are you waiting for the Prince Regent's divorce that our family is not good enough for you?
40:29I had to.
40:31Oh, Miss Crawley.
40:34I'm so unhappy.
40:37There.
40:38There.
40:42No.
40:44No.
40:46No.
40:48No.
40:50My poor child.
40:52No.
40:53Let me console you.
40:55I wish you could.
40:57I understand.
40:59Someone else has taken your heart.
41:01Some schoolmaster or apothecary's clerk, the villain.
41:04Never mind, Becky.
41:06I'm your friend.
41:07Whether you marry me or not.
41:09There.
41:16I think I should like to be alone.
41:18Yes, yes.
41:20Go to your room.
41:21Lie down.
41:23I'll send Briggs to you presently with a bowl of beef tea.
41:34Who is it?
41:36It's me, Becky.
41:40Oh!
41:42Get off, you great bear!
41:44It's all right.
41:45No-one saw me come in.
41:47It is not all right.
41:48Married...
42:05Married...
42:07to Rawdon...
42:11behind my back...
42:13Behind my back.
42:17A treacherous little trollop.
42:23This is your doing, Briggs.
42:25No, Mum! Yes!
42:27You made him marry her, thinking I'd leave you his inheritance!
42:30No, Mum! No! Yes!
42:32Yes! Get out!
42:34Get out!
42:36Get out!
42:38Get out!
42:39Oh, Mrs Bute!
42:41Miss Sharp is married to Captain Crawley.
42:43Indeed.
42:44And Miss Crawley is blaming me.
42:48I'll go to her.
42:52Lust and avarice, Mum.
42:55That girl is capable of anything.
42:58The impudence and guile of it.
43:01Still, I suppose it could have been worse.
43:04She is a Montmorency, after all.
43:07Oh, is that what she's been telling you?
43:10She's no Montmorency.
43:12Her father was a drunken drawing master.
43:17Her mother was an opera girl.
43:22And she's been on the stage herself.
43:25What?
43:26Oh, worse.
43:27Oh!
43:28Oh!
43:29Oh!
43:30Oh!
43:39Fetch the doctor, Ragles.
43:41Oh!
43:42Thy lawyer, Mrs Bute.
43:44I intend to change my will.
43:46Oh!
43:47Oh!
43:48Oh!
43:54Oh!
43:56Oh!
43:57Can I look at her?
43:58Oh!
43:59Oh!
44:02Oh!
44:04Oh!
44:05Oh!
44:37Becky!
44:39Becky!
44:41Becky!
44:43Becky!
44:45Becky!
44:47Becky!
44:49Mr. George, sir, good morning.
44:51Morning, Chopper. Is my pa within?
44:53A private meeting, sir.
44:55No. Er, he, er...
44:57Oh, yes, sir, it's all arranged.
44:59Mr. Queer will do if necessary.
45:01A banknote, sir?
45:03Er, yes, please.
45:05Banknote, sir? Er, yes, please, Mr. Quill.
45:21Oh, I see.
45:23Wasn't that a Mr. John Sedley?
45:25Bad business, Mr. George.
45:27Bad business.
45:29Oh, George, what's the matter?
45:35Where are you?
45:37I hear Napoleon's escaped from Elba.
45:39Wellington's certainly mobilising his army, that's what I hear.
45:41They'll be born within a month.
45:43He's on his way to Paris.
45:45Three Dead.
45:49Twenty Fletcher, twelve, twelve guineas!
45:53Twenty Fletcher, twelve, ten Desmond, twelve guineas!
45:55Twenty Fletcher, ten!
45:58Twenty Fletcher, ten guineas!
46:00A gentleman, a Mr Sedley begs to inform the house that he is unable to comply with his
46:09bargain.
46:14Will you be taking tea, sir?
46:24Ah, John.
46:25John, I've been thinking.
46:27Did you order tea?
46:28Oh, Samuel's become so strange and up at the end these last days.
46:33We must do something about Emily.
46:36She's not happy that Georgie was a little complex.
46:39A little patience with his little people.
46:49Yes, sir.
46:50Why don't you speak, John?
47:05John, what's happened?
47:11Napoleon's landed at Cannes.
47:16Should that affect us?
47:18It was the last straw.
47:22I'd taken a position on futures that depended on peace.
47:26Then the jeune Amélie went down to a Frenchman with all hands lost.
47:31I'd underwritten her at Lloyd's, you see, unlimited liability.
47:35Oh, what does it matter?
47:38We're ruined.
47:40But, John, we have friends, good friends.
47:45It's John Osborne.
47:48Oh, you gave him his start.
47:50He'll bail us out, you'll see.
47:52He bailes out, Osborne.
47:55He's the worst of all my creditors and pressing hardest for settlement.
48:00He hates me for the favours he once had from me, Mary.
48:03There are men like that.
48:06Where shall we live, John?
48:07Oh, Mary, I'm sorry I brought you to this.
48:16Oh, John, my dear, dear, dear good man.
48:22He's brought it all upon himself.
48:28He's given personal guarantees that he's been unable to meet.
48:31And that is the very worst crime a man of business can commit.
48:36He's shamed all his acquaintance.
48:40And anyone who stands by him will be damned by association.
48:43You'll see no more of that young girl, George.
48:45And I never want to hear that bankrupt name mentioned in this house again.
49:15Here we are, ladies and gentlemen, a painting of a gentleman on an elephant.
49:25What shall we say, sir, for the elephant?
49:29Fifty, five to start.
49:32A gentleman without the elephant is worth five pounds.
49:34It's a wonder it ain't come down with him.
49:37Don't be trying to depreciate the value of the lot, Mr Moss.
49:41Come, gentlemen, don't keep me here all day.
49:43Five shillings, sir.
49:45Any advance on five? Do I hear ten?
49:48Seven and six.
49:49All done at five.
49:52Captain Crawley.
49:56Sentimental keepsake, miss?
49:58What are you doing here?
49:59I'm getting into some clarity, miss.
50:02I'm setting up a little public house.
50:04Nice to see you again.
50:05Number three hundred and seventy.
50:08Now, here we have something eminently desirable.
50:11A small square rosewood chair of forty.
50:14In first class, spanking new condition.
50:17Just the hearticle for a young lady's private city.
50:20Now, who's going to start me at ten, then?
50:23Thank you, sir.
50:25And twelve.
50:26And fourteen.
50:28Sixteen on my left.
50:30Eighteen.
50:30Thank you, Captain.
50:32Twenty.
50:32Twenty-two.
50:33Twenty-four.
50:35May I say twenty-five.
50:37Twenty-five Guinness against you, sir.
50:40All done at twenty-five.
50:41Twenty-five.
50:55TAKE IT UP!
50:56TAKE IT UP!
51:01TAKE IT UP!
51:03TAKE IT UP!
51:03TAKE IT UP!
51:04I'm sorry, Dobbin.
51:11He hasn't been to see me once.
51:15I'm sure he still cares for me.
51:21Perhaps his father has forbidden him to visit.
51:26I believe he hopes to bring his father round in time.
51:30His father and mine are such enemies now.
51:34My own poor father has ordered me to return all George's presents that he made to me in happier days.
51:44I would be grateful, Captain Dobbin, if you would take them for me.
51:48Yes, of course, if you wish it.
51:51I think I must release him from his engagement.
51:54No, Emmy, I think you should not.
51:56I have written to him saying so.
51:58It is a hopeless situation for him.
52:04No situation is utterly hopeless.
52:12I'm Captain Dobbin.
52:16You're such a good friend.
52:18It's all over, Dobbin.
52:31She says so, yeah.
52:39I dare say she'll get over me soon enough.
52:41No, she won't.
52:50How did you find her, Dobbin?
52:54Was she well?
52:57How did she look?
53:04George.
53:04George.
53:04If you please, ma'am.
53:20Anna, there's no need to read those old letters anymore.
53:23For there's a surprise for you.
53:32George!
53:32My darling, you lovely girl.
53:38Dear little wife.
