20:10Pip?
20:11Mr. Pumblechook's boy. Come to play.
20:15Come nearer. Let me look at you. Come close.
20:18Look at me.
20:23Are you afraid to look at a woman who has never seen the sun since before you were born?
20:32No.
20:34Do you know what I touch here?
20:38Your heart?
20:40Broken.
20:41Are you ill, Mum?
20:43Merely tired.
20:45I need diversion.
20:48I've done with men and women.
20:50Play.
20:52Play what, Mum?
20:54What does it matter?
20:56Sometimes I have sick fancies.
20:59I have a sick fancy now to see some play.
21:04Play.
21:10Play.
21:11Play.
21:12I can't play alone, Mum.
21:15Call Estella.
21:16You can do that.
21:17Call Estella at the door.
21:26Estella!
21:27You mustn't shout, boy.
21:31Let me see you play cards with this boy.
21:40But he's a common labouring boy.
21:44What of it?
21:45You can break his heart.
21:47Beg pardon, Mum?
21:48I said to you we should play a game of broken hearts.
21:54I'm afraid I don't know that, Mum.
21:57Estella will teach you.
21:59No.
22:01He's a stupid village boy.
22:03Anyway, he's much too little.
22:06I'm nearly fifteen.
22:09And you're smaller than a weasel for your age.
22:13I am older than you are.
22:15If he is old enough for you to insult him,
22:17he is old enough for you to teach him.
22:22Teach him.
22:24And I will give you a prize.
22:28Your own one day.
22:32And you will use them well.
22:35Now teach him the rules.
22:38Teach him.
22:42Teach him.
22:45Teach him.
22:47Teach him.
22:48Teach him.
22:49Teach him.
22:50Teach him.
22:52Teach him.
22:54Teach him.
22:56Teach him.
22:58Teach him.
23:00The object of the game is for me to capture your neighbour of hearts.
23:05And for you to try to capture my queen of hearts.
23:09The winner is the one who ends up with both hearts.
23:12Here, you're cheating.
23:13You've stolen my jack.
23:14Ah!
23:15He calls knaves jacks, this boy.
23:17And what coarse hands he has.
23:19Here.
23:20You may deal.
23:21What a stupid clumsy boy.
23:22Here.
23:23I'll do it.
23:24She says many hard things about you.
23:25Yet you say nothing of her.
23:26She says many hard things about you.
23:27Yet you say nothing of her.
23:28What do you think of her?
23:29What do you think of her?
23:30I think she's very proud.
23:31And what coarse hands he has.
23:33Here.
23:34You may deal.
23:35What a stupid clumsy boy.
23:42Here.
23:43I'll do it.
23:45She says many hard things about you.
23:47Yet you say nothing of her.
23:50What do you think of her?
23:51about you, yet you say nothing of her. What do you think of her? I think she's very
23:59proud. Yes. I think she's very pretty. Yes. I think she's very insulting. Yes. I think I'd like to go home now, please. You
24:11shall go soon, when you have played out the game.
24:16I've won. I've won. I've won again. I've won again. Come again, after six days.
24:30Miss Stella, give him something to eat before he goes.
24:39Here, boy. Here.
24:46What's wrong? Was it not to your taste? You can always season it with your teeth.
24:59I'm not crying. You're crying inside, now. But you shall cry outside, all the way home.
25:07How do you know? What else can you do? You're only a common rock.
25:16Miss Absham sat in the middle of the room in a black velvet coach. A black? Velvet coach.
25:27And Miss Stella handed her on cakes on golden plates. Was anybody else there? Four dogs.
25:35Large or small? Immense. And they fought for veal cutlets out of a silver basket.
25:42What did you play at? Well, we played with flags. Estella waved a red one, I waved a blue one,
25:51and Miss Habersham waved one sprinkled all over with gold stars. And then we waved swords.
25:59Swords? She keeps swords? Where?
26:03Oh, in a cupboard. And there was no daylight in the room. For he was all lit with candles.
26:11I knew he was lying.
26:12No, no. No, no. That much is true. That much I've seen for myself.
26:17Goodness.
26:19Well, there'll be no waving of swords in this house.
26:22Oh, we don't have no swords, my dear. We do have work to be done.
26:28Come on, Pip, old chap. Give us a hand in the forger.
26:40Sounds a wonderful, exciting day, Pip.
26:43It ain't true, John. None of it. It's all lies.
26:48Yes. Why couldn't you tell us the truth?
26:53It was too terrible, John.
26:56They didn't harm you, did they, Pip, old chap?
26:58Or if they did, you need never go there again.
27:01No, John. I want to go back there.
27:04There was this proud young lady, Estella.
27:08She kept on calling me Carmen.
27:10I can prove to her that I'm not.
27:12I can learn to call Jack's knaves and deal cards and speak softly.
27:16I know I can, John.
27:17You've all the learning you need to help me at the forge someday.
27:23You're what larks will have, eh?
27:25Without no lies.
27:30You're very angry with me, Joe.
27:32No, Pip, old chap.
27:38You never do it no more, eh?
27:40No, Joe.
27:46I promise.
27:48No dogs, Pip.
27:51Not even a puppy, Joe.
27:54But there were candles.
27:58And even in that darkness,
28:02Estella was so beautiful.
28:04You ought to go this way, D'Abel.
28:14Well?
28:18Am I pretty?
28:20Yes, miss.
28:22You're very pretty.
28:23And am I insulting?
28:27Not as much as last time is.
28:30Not so much, so.
28:32No.
28:38Well.
28:39You coarse, little monster.
28:44What do you think of me now?
28:45I shan't tell you.
28:47Ah.
28:50Because you're going to tell her?
28:52Is that it?
28:53No, that's not it.
28:54Why don't you cry, you little wretch?
28:59Because I'll never cry for you.
29:05Ah.
29:06Whom have we here?
29:08Oh, a common boy.
29:11A crying boy.
29:14Well, you behave yourself.
29:17You have a pretty wide experience of boys.
29:20You're a bad set of fellows.
29:22No need to cry.
29:26Tears are no proof of innocence.
29:29But he wasn't crying, sir.
29:32I never said you were.
29:36Mrs. Estella.
29:40Who is he?
29:41Mr. Jaggers.
29:43Our legal advisor.
29:46But of course you wouldn't know what a legal advisor was.
29:52Uh-huh.
30:13Uh-huh.
30:15Uh-huh.
30:15What do you think that is?
30:35Couldn't guess, Mum.
30:37A great cake.
30:40A wedding cake.
30:41Mine.
30:44Come.
30:45Come.
30:50Wheel me.
30:51Wheel me.
31:00This is my wedding anniversary, Pep.
31:04On this day, many years ago, that heap of decay was brought here.
31:10It and I have worn away together.
31:14The mice have gnawed at it.
31:18And sharper teeth.
31:20Teeth of mice have gnawed at me.
31:22Yes, that's it.
31:24Ah!
31:24The wedding guests have arrived.
31:27On this day every year, my cousins of the Pockets arrive to wish the bride well.
31:35Look at them, Pip.
31:37They live on the hope that I shall never see another anniversary.
31:42Tell me, cousin Sarah, how does the bride look today?
31:47Beautiful.
31:49Come along, Pip.
31:52You don't think this gown a little grand for a country wedding?
31:58Oh, no, dear.
31:59It's...
32:00It's...
32:01Perfection.
32:03Have you ever seen a lovelier bride?
32:05Never.
32:06Never.
32:07Never.
32:07Never.
32:11Pip, you will give the bride away.
32:14Is she you?
32:26Suddenly not.
32:28She sits there on every anniversary.
32:31It's her waiting place.
32:33What does she wait for?
32:34Boy, you have no right prior to our family affairs.
32:39Pip.
32:39I love her.
33:03Hello, young fellow.
33:05Who gave you leave to prowl about?
33:08Miss Havisham.
33:09Did she now?
33:12Well, since you're here, come and fight.
33:16I suppose I ought to give you a reason for fighting.
33:20Well, here it is.
33:23Oh!
33:24Oh!
33:24Oh!
33:39That means you've won.
33:54Are you all right?
34:05Yes, thank you.
34:07I'm fine.
34:09Bye.
34:10Come here, bud.
34:18Come here, bud.
34:25You may kiss me if you like.
34:27You may kiss me if you want to go.
34:29No.
34:30No.
34:30Why?
34:31Come here, I'm sorry.
34:32Come here.
34:32Come here.
34:33Come here, girls.
34:34Come here.
34:35Come here, girls.
34:36Is it not a joke?
34:47Pep, dear old chap, I can hardly say.
34:52She fell into one of her rampages.
34:56She just lay there with her eyes wide open
35:00and her mouth shut tight like a fist.
35:06When is she going to get better, Joe?
35:12The doctor won't say.
35:16He sent Biddy here to look after her
35:19and keep house for us for a while.
35:22Hello, Pep.
35:24Biddy.
35:28That means I won't have to stay at home all day.
35:31No, Pep.
35:32I would think you might want to.
35:37You see, Miss Avisham asked me to wheel her a chair once a week
35:40and I sort of like promised.
35:43We can't break a promise, Joe, now can I?
35:46Does she grow prettier and prettier, Pep?
35:50Yes.
35:51Do you like him better now, Estella?
35:56I used to despise him.
35:59And now I merely hate him.
36:04Very good.
36:05Break their hearts, my lovely.
36:07Is that a new coat you're wearing, Pep?
36:22Yes, Miss Avisham.
36:24Biddy made it for me.
36:26She said I'd quite outgrown the order.
36:27Indeed you have.
36:28How long is it since you first came here?
36:32Six months?
36:33A year?
36:34Oh, no matter.
36:35Don't tell me.
36:36Time is of no consequence to me.
36:39Look up, Estella.
36:41You haven't admired Pip's coat.
36:43It's a common-looking coat.
36:58What did she make it out of?
37:02She made it out of love.
37:04Love?
37:06Who could ever love you?
37:08Per, wherever have you been?
37:19You should have been home for Miss Avisham's an hour ago.
37:21Joe wanted you to go to the Tanners.
37:23I stopped in the Holy Street, Biddy.
37:25I bought this book with the money Miss Avisham gave you.
37:31Poems of London Town.
37:33I didn't know you fancied reading.
37:36I don't.
37:36It's just it, you see.
37:39I want to be a gentleman, Biddy.
37:41Oh, I shouldn't if I were you.
37:43I don't think that would answer.
37:44But, Biddy, I'm coarse and common and I'm ignorant.
37:48Who said that?
37:49Estella.
37:51She's the most beautiful girl I ever saw.
37:55I admire her as something awful.
37:57I want to be a gentleman, Biddy, on her account.
38:01Do you want to be a gentleman to spite her or to win her over?
38:06I don't know.
38:08Well, if it's to spite her, I should think it could be done by caring nothing for her words.
38:15And if it's to gain her over, I should think she's not worth the winning.
38:19Pep, you're not coarse or common.
38:28Boy, I am ignorant.
38:30I can barely read this book.
38:33My sister wouldn't let me go to school more than I ought to.
38:35I mean, she said it was wrong for me to learn above my station.
38:39Well, I hardly went to school and I can read.
38:42Well, how did you learn?
38:44I suppose I just caught it.
38:47Like a cough.
38:50Pep, it's never too late to learn.
38:53Come, you shall have your first lesson.
38:55Oh, bring the peas.
38:56We'll start by reading one of those poems.
39:06Just pass me the letters one at a time.
39:08L-O-N
39:12D-O-N
39:15T-O-W-N
39:17London Town
39:19Indeed.
39:21Pep, London Town.
39:23You may go there when you're a gentleman.
39:26In video, I shall always tell you everything.
39:29Till you're a gentleman.
39:31That will be never.
39:33So let's just say always.
39:35Pep, you're home.
39:37I just saw Uncle Pumplechuck.
39:39He says your Miss Avistam wishes to speak with me.
39:41I'm to go along with you on your next visit.
39:43Oh, biddy.
39:43Do you think she wants me to go to school?
39:45To become a gentleman?
39:46Don't, Pep.
39:48Joe, you mustn't be afraid of her.
39:51She may look strange,
39:53but she's the kindest lady in the world.
39:55You are the boy's guardian, I understand.
40:04Well, ma'am,
40:06I helped and married his late sister
40:08when I was single,
40:12before I were married.
40:14I guess I'm your guardian, isn't I, Pep?
40:17You will save your scorn for those who've earned it, miss.
40:20Your admirers.
40:21Well, you reared the boy
40:24with the intention of taking him as your apprentice.
40:27Is that so, Mr. Gargery?
40:29You know, ma'am,
40:31I always look forward to having you at the forge with me, Pep.
40:35I mean, you being there a couple,
40:36I did to lead to larks.
40:39Good.
40:41Pep has earned some reward for serving us here.
40:46Here are 25 guineas.
40:48Give them to your new master.
40:49It will pay for your apprenticeship.
40:51It will pay for you, Pep.
40:52It will pay for you.
40:57But, Pep, I never meant to take no money
40:59to make you a blacksmith.
41:01Oh, do it, Pip.
41:03You'll make a perfect blacksmith.
41:08Take it, Joe.
41:09Please take it.
41:13Goodbye, Pip.
41:15Let the martyrs still her.
41:21Am I never to come here again, Miss Havisham?
41:25No.
41:27Gargery is your master now.
41:30But who will Estella play with, then?
41:34Estella goes to France next week.
41:36She is to be educated there.
41:38We have done all that we can do for her here.
41:41We have done with you as well.
41:44Goodbye, Pip.
41:48Leave me.
41:52Leave me!
41:52Leave me!
41:52Once it had seemed to me
42:09that when I should at last roll up my shirt sleeves
42:11and go into the forge as Joe's apprentice,
42:14I should be distinguished and happy.
42:16Now the reality was here.
42:19Life at last, all interest and romance.
42:23What stretched out before me
42:24was nothing save dull endurance.
42:26Let's go.
42:27Let's go.
42:27Let's go.
42:28Let's go.
42:28Let's go.
42:29Let's go.
42:29Let's go.
42:47Dinner time.
42:50Better wash up and finish work tomorrow.
42:52You go ahead, Joe.
42:54I promised Uncle Pumplechuk I'd fix the wheel of his car
42:56out for tomorrow morning.
42:58I'll eat later.
43:00As you wish, Pumplechuk.
43:03Oh, and Joe, if you don't mind,
43:05would you shut the door?
43:19What I feared was that on some unlucky night
43:21I should lift my eyes and see Estella
43:24looking in at me from one of the forge doors.
43:27I was haunted by the fear that she would,
43:29sooner or later, find me at my coursework.
43:35I would fancy she had come at last
43:37to surprise me and despise me once again.
43:40you won't take your hot meal properly in the kitchen.
43:48You'll just have to eat it in the forge.
43:51Thanks, Pumplechuk.
43:52You're not happy, are you, Pumplechuk?
43:59Well, I must be happy.
44:01I have everything a man could want.
44:03Food, shelter, work,
44:06and, uh, when you married Joe, a proper family.
44:14Sometimes that's not enough.
44:16Even when you were a boy, I knew you wanted more.
44:21Spending all your pocket money on books about faraway places.
44:26Oh, I feared you'd go off to be a soldier or a sailor.
44:30But you stayed faithful to Joe, and your work.
44:35But it hasn't been one day I haven't hated this forge.
44:47Then he must tell Joe.
44:52Well, how could he understand?
44:54He loves his work.
44:56If I work hard, it's not because I think there's any virtue in hard work,
45:00but because Joe works even harder.
45:02All I am is restless and discontented.
45:06You're not ashamed of what you do, are you, Pumplechuk?
45:13Yes.
45:13And I'm ashamed of the very shame I feel.
45:18Oh, Pumplechuk, it's been years.
45:22You should have forgotten her long ago.
45:26She's surely forgotten you.
45:37Pumplechuk, what for?
45:40What's any visit made for, Joe?
45:42Yeah, but Miss Abisham might think you wanted, nay, expected something of her.
45:46You see, Pumplechuk, she done the handsome thing by you,
45:49and when she done it, she told you that was all.
45:51All meaning let us make an end of it.
45:53I've never really thanked her properly for paying for my apprenticeship.
45:56I want to let her know I remember her.
45:58Well, you could send her some present.
46:00Uncle Pumplechuk could take it for you.
46:02You might make her a toasting fork at the forge.
46:05Don't go on like that, Joe. I know what I'm doing.
46:09Do you, Pumplechuk?
46:10Yes. I'm going to call on Miss Abisham tomorrow.
46:14Are you sure it's Miss Abisham you want to see?
46:17Yes, Spiddy, it's Miss Abisham.
46:27Why are you here, Pumple?
46:29I hope you want nothing.
46:31No, I want nothing.
46:33Good.
46:34For you'll get nothing.
46:36I never give to those who seek.
46:40Though I might be generous to one who has abandoned all hope,
46:45as I have.
46:46You are well, I trust.
46:48I still cling to my bad habit of living.
46:52I just wanted you to know that I'm almost done with my apprenticeship,
46:57and I'm much obliged to you.
47:03How is Estella?
47:05Still abroad, out of reach.
47:08Prettier than ever, admired by all who see her.
47:12Quite well, indeed.
47:15I'm glad.
47:17No, you're not.
47:18For it means you've lost her.
47:20Lost her.
47:22Lost her.
47:25Lost her.
47:26Lost her.
47:30Oh, Pip, don't go.
47:32Until you have taken this.
47:34Oh, no.
47:36But, Pip, I'm grateful to you for amusing me.
47:40You know you were always rewarded when you amused me.
47:44I want nothing of yours.
47:46Oh, you liar.
47:47You want my most precious possession, Estella.
47:52Imagine.
47:53They call me mad.
47:55Yet he thinks she should be squandered on a blacksmith,
47:58a common blacksmith.
48:00A common blacksmith?
48:04Estella was trained for gentlemen only.
48:07Now return to your forge.
48:09And if you are fortunate, one day she might ride in a carriage whose wheels you have minded.
48:20Pip, we have a visitor.
48:23He just knocked, asked if you were here, and waited.
48:28Joseph Gardery, my name is Jaggers.
48:37I'm a lawyer in London.
48:40I'm pretty well known.
48:42I wish to have a private conference with you two.
48:45I keep no secrets from my wife, sir.
48:49A very foolhardy principle, Joseph Gardery.
48:53But I'm not here to teach you a sense.
48:55I'm the bearer of an offer
48:58to relieve you
49:00of this young fellow, your apprentice.
49:04You would not object to cancel his indentures for his good?
49:08You would want nothing for so doing?
49:11Lord forbid that I should want anything
49:15for not standing in Pip's way.
49:18The communication I've got to make
49:21is that this young fellow
49:23has great expectations.
49:26I'm instructed to communicate to him
49:28that he will come into a handsome property.
49:32Further,
49:33that it is the desire of his benefactor
49:36that he be immediately removed from this place
49:39and be brought up as a gentleman.
49:43Now, Mr. Pip,
49:46you are to understand first
49:48that it is the request of the person
49:52from whom I take my instructions
49:54that you always bear the name of Pip.
49:56Now, if you have any objections to that,
50:00this is the time to mention it.
50:02No.
50:03I should think not.
50:05I should think not.
50:06Well, it is to understand secondly
50:07that the name of the person
50:09who is your benefactor
50:10remains a profound secret
50:12until that person chooses to reveal it.
50:15If you have any suspicion in your own breast,
50:19keep that suspicion in your own breast.
50:23Now, if you have any objection to that,
50:25this is the time to mention it.
50:27I have no.
50:28I should think not.
50:30Now, Mr. Pip,
50:32it is considered that you must be better educated
50:36in accordance with your altered position
50:38and that may best be done by removing you to London.
50:40You will want some new clothes to come in
50:43and there should not be working clothes.
50:46You'll need some money.
50:47Shall I leave you, um, 20 guineas?
50:5320 guineas?
50:55As for you, Joseph Gargery,
50:58I have it in my charge
51:00to make you a handsome present
51:02in exchange for your services.
51:06What do you demand?
51:08Speak out!
51:09You think I would profit from Pip's expectations?
51:12I mean to say,
51:14I would give you leave to come here and pay a badge on me.
51:17Joe! Joe!
51:18Please!
51:20Mr. Jaggers means no harm.
51:22It's just that he's never had the good fortune
51:24to meet an honest man before.
51:28Well, Mr. Pip,
51:31I think that the sooner you leave here the better.
51:35Someone will meet your coach in London next Tuesday afternoon.
51:39And now, prepare yourself for the strenuous business
51:43of becoming a gentleman.
51:48Do you think the crown is too high?
51:50Well, Mr. Pip,
51:51in London they're all wearing them high.
51:58A tilted front, of course.
52:03Very rakish, sir.
52:04My dear young friend, I give you joy of your good fortune.
52:13Well deserved, well deserved,
52:15to think that I should have been the humble instrument
52:18leading up to this proud reward.
52:21Yes, sir, I suppose this one will do.
52:28My dear young friend, if you'll allow me to say, sir...
52:30How dare you take up the time of this gentleman,
52:32a child I sported with in happy infancy.
52:36But you never had a kind word for him, sir.
52:38It was I who sang his praises.
52:40A kind word?
52:41One doesn't flatter a person of quality.
52:44I always treated him as an equal.
52:46I couldn't have paid him a higher compliment.
52:49I think what I can do for Joe now.
53:01What is Joe to do with this?
53:03Why, when I come into my fortune,
53:05he need never work in that forge again.
53:08But he may not want to be taken out of a place that he likes
53:12and fills with respect.
53:14Well, how do you know?
53:19I know my Joe.
53:21He's too proud to live on your fortune.
53:29It's not Joe who's too proud, Biddy, it's you.
53:33Your envious of my rising fortune can't help showing it.
53:37It's a bad sign in human nature.
53:39Whether you scold me or approve of me, Mr. Pipp,
53:42will make no difference in my remembrance of you.
53:46Biddy, I'm home.
53:49Well, Pipp?
53:55I've come into such good fortune since I saw you last, Miss Havisham.
54:02And I'm so grateful for it.
54:05Yes, I saw Mr. Jaggers.
54:09I have heard about it.
54:11So you go tomorrow, Pipp?
54:13Yes, Miss Havisham.
54:14That'll be good.
54:16You deserve it.
54:19And abide by Mr. Jaggers' instructions.
54:22You will always keep the name of Pipp, you know.
54:25Oh, yes, Miss Havisham.
54:27You will let Estella know of my good fortune.
54:41I have already written telling her about it.
54:44I have already written telling her about it.
54:46Well, yes, Miss Havisham.
54:47No one will be written in me.
54:48Oh, yes, Miss Havisham.
54:50But in the last minute, I'll get to the end of it.
54:51I'll get to the end of it.
54:52I'll get to the end of it.
54:53And as soon as maybe I'll get to the end of it.
54:55Or put an end of it, I'll get to the end of it.
