00:00:28Satsang with Mooji
00:01:15Oh, this is David Copperfield, I think.
00:01:19Yes, but you heard of Miss Betsy Crotwood, aunt of your late husband.
00:01:23Yes.
00:01:27Now you see her.
00:01:33Oh, come down, come now.
00:01:35Don't do that.
00:01:37Here.
00:01:38Take off your bonnet, child, and let me see you.
00:01:43Why, bless my heart, you're only a baby.
00:01:46And here you are with child and wearing a widow's weeds.
00:01:49Huh?
00:01:51Now, now, child, what's the matter?
00:01:56I'm all in a tremble.
00:01:57I don't know what will happen.
00:02:00I'll die.
00:02:00I'm sure I'll die.
00:02:03That, my child, is absolute nonsense.
00:02:06What you need is a good, strong cup of tea.
00:02:09What do you call your girl?
00:02:10I don't know yet, but it will be a girl, ma'am.
00:02:12No, no, wake up, child.
00:02:13I meant your fervent girl.
00:02:15Oh, Peggity.
00:02:17Peggity?
00:02:18Peggity?
00:02:19Her Christian name is Clara, but that's the same as mine, so I call her Peggity to avoid
00:02:24any confusion.
00:02:25Peggity?
00:02:25We need some tea.
00:02:27Don't dawdle now.
00:02:28You were speaking about it being a girl.
00:02:30I have no doubt it will be a girl.
00:02:32I have a presentiment that it must be a girl.
00:02:35Now, from the moment of the birth of those girls...
00:02:37Perhaps boy.
00:02:38Don't contradict me, child.
00:02:39I intend to be your daughter's gotmama, and I beg you'll call her Betsy Trotwood Copperfield.
00:02:45There'll be no mistakes in life with that Betsy Trotwood.
00:02:48No one will cause her to love in vain.
00:02:52Oh, my dear Aunt Betsy, are you all right?
00:02:55Yes, of course.
00:02:56Of course, silly girl.
00:02:58She must be well brought up and well guarded.
00:03:00I must make that my care.
00:03:03That's the doctor you need, ma'am.
00:03:05But don't just stand there, Peggity.
00:03:08Be off and fetch the doctor.
00:03:10Quickly now.
00:03:14There, dear child.
00:03:16It will soon be over, and I'll take care of your daughter.
00:03:21Ah!
00:03:23Ah!
00:03:27Ah!
00:03:29Ah!
00:03:29Ah!
00:03:31Ah!
00:03:32Ah!
00:03:34Ah!
00:03:34Ah!
00:03:43Miss Trotwood, would you like to see the baby?
00:03:46He's a strong little fellow with a pair of lungs like the wind at sea.
00:03:50But he's well, and so is my mistress.
00:03:52We've called him David after his father, David Copperfield.
00:03:56Miss Trotwood.
00:04:01How is she?
00:04:03Oh, she's comfortable, ma'am.
00:04:04The doctor says she's as comfortable as a young mother can expect to be under these melancholy circumstances.
00:04:09Peggity, you seem to have a mind as wonderful as your name.
00:04:13I meant the baby.
00:04:14How is she?
00:04:15My name seems to be as wondrous as your understanding, ma'am.
00:04:18The baby is a boy.
00:04:21Oh!
00:04:27My goodness me.
00:04:30Peggity, is young David all right?
00:04:32Yes, ma'am.
00:04:34You're a little cold, aren't you?
00:04:36Oh, we'll warm you up, my treasure.
00:04:38My treasure of a boy.
00:05:01Tea time, David.
00:05:03Oh, Peggity.
00:05:03I'm starving.
00:05:05Only one biscuit, I'm afraid.
00:05:07Oh, Peggity.
00:05:09These are hard times, David.
00:05:12Your father lift 100 pounds a year, but we seem to stretch it a bit thin sometimes.
00:05:35I, uh, hope you had a pleasant evening, ma'am.
00:05:37Oh, yes, thank you, Peggity.
00:05:39A stranger or so makes an agreeable change.
00:05:42You don't approve of my going out, do you, Peggity?
00:05:46But tell me, what should I do?
00:05:48Shave my head and hide my face?
00:05:50Mr. Copperfield wouldn't have liked this man.
00:05:53Oh, Peggity, stop.
00:05:58You'll upset young David.
00:06:00Perhaps what David needs is a holiday by the sea.
00:06:03Would you like to come and stay with my brother and his family at Yarmouth, David?
00:06:06Do you mean that, Peggity?
00:06:08Of course.
00:06:09Oh, oh, he'd love to go, wouldn't you, David?
00:06:12What's your brother like, Peggity?
00:06:14I'm sure he's a nice man.
00:06:16Is he the sort of man my father would have approved of?
00:06:19Oh, oh, Davy.
00:06:21Oh!
00:06:38Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
00:06:41oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

00:06:47oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
00:07:12Ham! There's my ham, grown out of all knowing.
00:07:17Aunt Clara and young Davy, is it?
00:07:22Thank you, Mr. Barcus.
00:07:24Aye.
00:07:26Now, you follow me, and I'll show you our house.
00:07:35That's a house? That ship-looking thing?
00:07:38Yes, Master Davy. That's our home.
00:07:41Ahoy there!
00:07:46This is my brother, David, and this is his adopted niece, Emily.
00:07:51Welcome to the pair of ye, and I hope you'll stay as long as you like.
00:07:56Ah, she's a showy one, little Emily. God bless her.
00:07:59Come on, young Davy, I'll show you your room.
00:08:05Here we are, Davy. Your own room.
00:08:14Thank you, Mr. Peggy.
00:08:31Those young folks seem to be enjoying each other's company.
00:08:41You're quite a sailor, I suppose.
00:08:43Oh, no. I'm afraid of the sea.
00:08:45Afraid? I'm not.
00:08:47It's cruel. It's very cruel, the sea.
00:08:51I've seen it tear a boat as big as our house to pieces.
00:08:54I hope it wasn't a boat that...
00:08:56That father was drowned in.
00:08:57No, not that one.
00:08:59I never see that boat.
00:09:01Nor him?
00:09:02Not to remember.
00:09:05I never saw my father, either.
00:09:07Your father was a gentleman.
00:09:09Mine was a fisherman.
00:09:11And so is my uncle.
00:09:13He seems a very good man, your uncle.
00:09:15Good.
00:09:16If I was ever to be a lady,
00:09:19I'd give him a sky blue coat with diamond buttons
00:09:21and a pipe made of silver.
00:09:27You'd like to be a lady?
00:09:29Oh, yes.
00:09:31Emily!
00:09:33Emily!
00:09:44Hmm, look at them.
00:09:46Like a couple of young thrushes.
00:10:08I could stay here forever.
00:10:12Yes, lady.
00:10:13I'm glad you had a good holiday.
00:10:15But now it's time to go home.
00:10:17Will we come back here, Peggity?
00:10:19I'm sure we will.
00:10:20My brother said you could come any time you like.
00:10:23And he's a man of his word.
00:10:31You were all right to meet, weren't you?
00:10:33Yes, Emily.
00:10:34And I'll miss you, too.
00:10:39We'd like to go home, please, Mr. Barkis.
00:10:42Boy!
00:11:03Thank you, Mr. Barkis.
00:11:05Aye.
00:11:07What's the matter, Peggity?
00:11:09Wait till we get inside, Davy.
00:11:14Now, what is it?
00:11:16I should have told you before now,
00:11:17but you were so busy and happy
00:11:20and I couldn't exactly bring my mind to it.
00:11:22Go on, Peggity.
00:11:24Master Davy, what do you think?
00:11:26You've got a father.
00:11:28What?
00:11:29A new one.
00:11:31Come and see him.
00:11:32I don't want to see him.
00:11:34And your mother.
00:11:41Now, Clara, control yourself.
00:11:43Always control yourself.
00:11:46Davy boy, how do you do?
00:11:54Oh, Peggity, I don't like him.
00:11:58I knew it'd be hard for you, Davy.
00:12:00That's why I took you to the seaside.
00:12:02It's going to be hard for me, too.
00:12:04But we'll make the best of it, won't we?
00:12:07Is he here to stay?
00:12:09Yes, Davy, he is.
00:12:11And his sister's arriving on Thursday.
00:12:16Oh!
00:12:18You must be the one with the strange name.
00:12:21Peggity, Mum.
00:12:22And this must be your mistress's boy.
00:12:24Yes, Mum, David.
00:12:26Generally speaking, I don't like boys.
00:12:30How do you do, boy?
00:12:31Well, thank you, ma'am.
00:12:32But who are you?
00:12:34Who wants manners, this boy?
00:12:36I am Miss Muddston, your new father's sister.
00:12:40And I have come to stay.
00:12:53You call this home work?
00:12:55But, Mr. Muddston, I find it difficult to do my work while you and Miss Muddston are here.
00:13:00I will not tolerate your impertinence, boy.
00:13:03Go to your room.
00:13:13Edward, please.
00:13:15Edward, please.
00:13:15Now, Clara, the boy needs firmness.
00:13:18You're much too soft with him.
00:13:24Please, Mr. Muddston, sir.
00:13:26I tried hard to do my homework.
00:13:29You didn't try hard enough, David.
00:13:40You'll pay for that last outrage.
00:13:42You'll stay here.
00:13:48Is that you, Peggity?
00:13:50Yes, David.
00:13:51I've been in here for days, Peggity.
00:13:54What's he going to do with me?
00:13:56He's sending you away to school, David.
00:13:59Tomorrow.
00:14:06Here, Davy.
00:14:08I baked some cake for your trip.
00:14:10Oh, thank you, dear, Peggity.
00:14:12And there's also a purse with eight shillings in it from your mother.
00:14:16Goodbye, Davy.
00:14:17Write to me.
00:14:19I will, Peggity.
00:14:20I will.
00:14:37Did she make that cake?
00:14:39Oh, yes.
00:14:40Peggity's an excellent cook.
00:14:41Does she know?
00:14:42And tell me, has she got a sweetheart?
00:14:45No.
00:14:46I don't think so.
00:14:47When you write to her, you tell her this.
00:14:49You tell her Marcus is willing.
00:14:52Willing?
00:14:52For what?
00:14:53You just tell her Marcus is willing.
00:15:01Remember to do it.
00:15:02I don't think so.
00:15:04Holy crap.

00:23:03I'm afraid she's dead.
00:23:06Mother, dead?
00:23:07Oh, no, no.
00:23:09She was always a poor, frail creature.
00:23:11She was never strong.
00:23:13And now the poor little thing is gone.
00:23:15Then what will I...
00:23:16She'll come home with me for the funeral.
00:23:18Then it'll be up to Mr. Mergerton and his sister to decide what's to be done.
00:23:22But, Piggity, what will I do?
00:23:24There, there, Davy.
00:23:26We must both be brave.
00:23:29You behaved very well at the funeral, Davy.
00:23:32I didn't want Mr. Mergerton to see me cry.
00:23:35And I don't want to see you cry when I leave.
00:23:39Piggity, where are you going?
00:23:41Miss Mergerton has seen fit to dismiss me.
00:23:45But where will you go?
00:23:46I'll go to my brother at yam until I can find a mistress as good to me as your mother.
00:23:51Excuse me, miss.
00:23:53I told this young lad to tell you that Barkus is willing.
00:23:56Now I'm telling you that Barkus is still willing.
00:24:00I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about.
00:24:03Now, Davy, I want you to know that you will always be my darling boy.
00:24:07And you come to me when you need me.
00:24:10I will, Piggity.

00:30:11Mr. Dick, come down here and give me some sound advice.
00:30:15Quickly now.
00:30:18Come now, boy.
00:30:20That's enough for now.
00:30:22Don't send me away, Aunt Betsy.
00:30:25Don't send me away.
00:30:27If you don't stop them blubbering, I shall send to the police.
00:30:30Now, who are you?
00:30:32Your nephew, David.
00:30:35And what are you doing here?
00:30:37I've left my employer.
00:30:39I've nowhere else to go.
00:30:42Mr. Dick, you remember David Copperfield, my nephew.
00:30:45David Copperfield?
00:30:47David Copperfield?
00:30:48Oh, yes.
00:30:49To be sure.
00:30:50David.
00:30:51Certainly.
00:30:52Come now, Mr. Dick.
00:30:53I want some very sound advice.
00:30:55Well, if I were you, I should wash him.
00:30:59Of course.
00:31:01Oh, you're as sharp as a tack, Mr. Dick.
00:31:03That's exactly what we shall do with this boy.
00:31:06Is Mr. Dick your husband, Aunt Betsy?
00:31:10No, David.
00:31:11He's a distant relative.
00:31:13He was to be sent to a...
00:31:14A lunatic asylum?
00:31:16Well, yes.
00:31:18But I intervened, and now he makes a good home here.
00:31:21Now you have me as well, Aunt Betsy.
00:31:23And I'll do my best to be useful.
00:31:26I don't know that I do have you.
00:31:28I've written to your stepfather about the matter of your arrival.
00:31:32You're not going to give me up to him?
00:31:34I don't know.
00:31:36We shall see.
00:31:43Miss Trotwood, this unhappy boy who has run away from his friends and his occupation...
00:31:48And whose appearance is a disgrace.
00:31:50Jane, please have the goodness not to interrupt me.
00:31:53I'm sorry David's appearance does not impress me.
00:31:55Mr. Dick was kind enough to relinquish part of his extensive wardrobe to clothe the boy.
00:32:00It is not his appearance that concerns me, Miss Trotwood.
00:32:04It is his character.
00:32:06Mr. Dick, what shall I do with this child?
00:32:11Um, have him measured for a suit of clothes immediately.
00:32:14Oh, Mr. Dick, give me your hand.
00:32:17Your common sense is invaluable.
00:32:21You can go when you like.
00:32:22I'll take my chance, Mr. Boy.
00:32:24If he's all you say he is, I can do as much for him as you.
00:32:28But I don't believe a word of it.
00:32:30And suspect you have much maltreated him.
00:32:33Oh, but no.
00:32:36Miss Trotwood, if you were a gentleman, I'd...
00:32:39Jane, please don't interrupt me when...
00:32:43Mr. Dick, you'll consider yourself guardian.
00:32:45Join me with me of this child.
00:32:47Oh, thank you, Aunt Betsy.
00:32:48I shall be delighted to be the guardian of such a bright young man.
00:33:15David, at last.
00:33:18Hello, Piggity.
00:33:19I knew I'd see you again.
00:33:21Don't you look smart.
00:33:24Oh, I'm so glad to see you happy and settled.
00:33:28What about you, Piggity?
00:33:30Have you found a new situation?
00:33:31No, dearie.
00:33:33I'm still staying with my brother.
00:33:35What about Barkis?
00:33:36Is he still willing?
00:33:38Oh, he's willing, all right.
00:33:41But I'm not.
00:33:42The idea of marrying Barkis,
00:33:44I wouldn't have him if he was made of gold.
00:34:19What do you think, Davey?
00:34:20I'm engaged to be married.
00:34:22To who?
00:34:23To Barkis, of course.
00:34:25I'll have him as long as he behaves.
00:34:28We'll live in Yarmouth near me brother.
00:34:30You must come to visit us.
00:34:32Young Emily will be pleased to see you, I know that much.
00:34:34I will, Piggity.
00:34:35In the holidays,
00:34:37Aunt Betsy is sending me back to school.
00:34:41Am I going to a large school, Aunt Betsy?
00:34:44We're going to Mr. Wickfield's first.
00:34:46Does he keep a school?
00:34:47No, he keeps an office.
00:34:54Uriah Heath, is Mr. Wickfield at home?
00:34:56Yes, ma'am.
00:34:58If you'll please to walk in there.
00:35:01Well, my dear Miss Trotwood,
00:35:04what wind blows you here?
00:35:06Not an ill wind, I hope.
00:35:07No, Mr. Wickfield.
00:35:09I have not come on any matter of law,
00:35:11but for my grand-nephew David here.
00:35:13I have adopted him
00:35:15and want your advice on a school
00:35:17where he may be thoroughly well taught
00:35:19and well treated.
00:35:20Well, the best school in the district
00:35:23has no room for boarders just now.
00:35:25Let me ask my little housekeeper
00:35:27what we should do.
00:35:30Did you want me, Father?
00:35:32David, this is my daughter Agnes.
00:35:35Should David want to board here, Agnes,
00:35:38would we have enough resources?
00:35:40I think so, Father.
00:35:41Well, David, what say you?
00:35:43I should like to stay, Aunt Betsy,
00:35:45as long as I can visit you and Mr. Dick every week.
00:35:48Of course.
00:35:49Well, I'm glad that's settled.
00:35:52Now, David,
00:35:53be a credit to yourself,
00:35:54to me and to Mr. Dick.
00:35:56And heaven be with you.
00:35:57I shall do my best, Aunt Betsy.
00:36:01Have you had a good day at school,
00:36:03Master Copperfield?
00:36:05Yes, Uriah.
00:36:06Have you had a good day
00:36:07with your legal studies?
00:36:09Oh, yes, Master Copperfield.
00:36:11I'm going through Tid's practice.
00:36:14Oh, what a lighter Mr. Tid is,
00:36:17Master Copperfield.
00:36:18If he were not a partaker of glory,
00:36:21I should like to shake his hand.
00:36:24Perhaps one day you'll be a great lawyer.
00:36:26Maybe it'll be Wickfield and Heath.
00:36:28Oh, no, Master Copperfield.
00:36:32I am much too humble for that.
00:36:47Steerful!
00:36:48Steerful!
00:36:50Steerful!
00:36:56I didn't think I'd see you again.
00:36:59Master Davey!
00:37:00It's Master Davey!
00:37:04Come in, Master Davey.
00:37:06Come in.
00:37:07It's good to see you, Davey.
00:37:09On your holidays from school, are you?
00:37:11Yes, Mr. Peggity.
00:37:13And soon I'll be finished with school.
00:37:16You remember my friend Steerful?
00:37:17Of course, he's the cricketer and the sailor.
00:37:21Hello, Mr. Peggity.
00:37:22Well met.
00:37:23And this here's little Emily.
00:37:25She ain't my child.
00:37:27I never had one.
00:37:28But I couldn't love her more.
00:37:30I quite understand.
00:37:32Well met indeed.
00:37:34Little Emily isn't mine anymore.
00:37:36She'll be going away.
00:37:38What do you mean, Mr. Peggity?
00:37:40She's engaged and will be married as soon as she is of the age.
00:37:44She's more to me, gentlemen, than she's all to me that ever I can want.
00:37:51I'd lay down my life for her.
00:37:53Come along then, Davey.
00:37:55And Mr. Steerforth.
00:37:57We'll have a cup of tea at the very least.
00:37:59That's a rather chuckle-headed fellow for the girl, isn't he?
00:38:02Now come along, Steerforth.
00:38:04These are wonderful people.
00:38:06And you know it.
00:38:07Of course.
00:38:08You were fond of her, weren't you?
00:38:10Yes.
00:38:10But I have a feeling that someday I'll meet someone else.
00:38:15I'm worried, David.
00:38:17I'm so worried about the path.
00:38:19And I'm sorry that you've finished school and will be leaving us.
00:38:22I'm sorry to be leaving too, Agnes.
00:38:24But I must go to London and earn a living.
00:38:26I can't stay at school forever.
00:38:29I know, David.
00:38:30But we'll miss you.
00:38:31What's the matter with Mr. Wickfield?
00:38:34Uriah Heep is the matter.
00:38:36I believe he's going to enter into partnership with Papa.
00:38:39What?
00:38:40Uriah?
00:38:42How could that mean, fawning snake, be considered for such a promotion?
00:38:46Agnes, you must protest.
00:38:48What can I do, David?
00:38:50Uriah has discovered Papa's weaknesses and taken advantage of them.
00:38:54He's made himself indispensable.
00:38:57Here we are, Mr. Wickfield.
00:38:59And you'll be wanting some wine, too, won't you?
00:39:03Thank you, Uriah.
00:39:04And how are you this evening, Master Copperfield?
00:39:10Agnes, my little girl!
00:39:13She was crying.
00:39:14You go and see to her, Mr. Wickfield.
00:39:19I have risen from my humble station since you first met me, Master Copperfield.
00:39:25But I am humble still.
00:39:28You will not think the worse of my humbleness if I share a little confidence with you, Master
00:39:34Copperfield, will you?
00:39:35I suppose not.
00:39:36The confidence is this, Master Copperfield.
00:39:39Humble though I may be, I love Agnes Wickfield.
00:40:07Careful with my tips.
00:40:08Oh, this is your dog?
00:40:10Yes.
00:40:10Have we ruined your morning?
00:40:12Oh, not really.
00:40:13And it's not a good start to my first day at work.
00:40:16I'm due in there, and I should look my best.
00:40:19Oh, I'm due in there, too.
00:40:21My name's Doris Benlow.
00:40:23Benlow?
00:40:24My father.
00:40:31Master Davey.
00:40:32Mr. Peggity.
00:40:34What are you doing in London?
00:40:36I've come to look for little Emily.
00:40:38She's run off with your friend's dearth all.
00:40:59I'll find her.
00:41:01I'll track them down to the end of the earth, and then I'll bring her home to Yark.
00:41:06I'll find them no matter where they are.
00:41:09It was you who brought Steerforth here to my home.
00:41:13No.
00:41:14No.
00:41:27Come inside, David.
00:41:29We don't blame you at all, David.
00:41:33If it hadn't been Steerforth, it would have been someone else.
00:41:35That girl has always had ambitions.
00:41:37I feel so sorry for Ham.
00:41:40Where is he?
00:41:47He's been like that since she left.
00:41:50Poor Ham.
00:41:52I'll never forget this place.
00:41:55When I had no home, this was my home.
00:41:57You remember your old room, David.
00:42:02Oh, it seems so absurdly small.
00:42:06I want to thank you, Peggity.
00:42:09When I had no mother, you were my mother.
00:42:12Davey, my boy.
00:42:15If I should turn out to be the hero of my own life, then you shall be the heroine.
00:42:20Now, Davey, don't go making me out to be that which I'm not.
00:42:24Now, you sit down and I'll get you breakfast just like I used to.
00:42:28Thank you, Peggity.
00:42:30But where's Barkis?
00:42:31Surely your husband should get some breakfast too.
00:42:34Barkis is not.
00:42:52Do you remember my friend's dear boy?
00:42:55Of course, he's the cricketer in the sight of her.
00:42:58Hello, Mr. Peggity.
00:42:59Well met.
00:43:00And this here's the little M.
00:43:03She's more to me, gentlemen, than...
00:43:06As she's all to me that ever I can want, I'd lay down my life for her.
00:43:20Oh, thank you, David.
00:43:22How sweet.
00:43:25But I should give you some in return.
00:43:27I shall treasure anything you give me, Dora.
00:43:29Oh, how sweet.
00:43:31Don't you think he says sweet things, Chip?
00:43:35I think Chip is jealous of you, David.
00:43:38I have every reason to be jealous of Chip.
00:43:40If I could spend as much time with you as he does,
00:43:43then I should be happier than any man or dog in England.
00:43:47Oh, how sweet.
00:43:49Come and I'll show you the rest of the garden.
00:43:55Miss Murdston?
00:43:56What are you doing here?
00:43:57Miss Murdston has been engaged by my father as my companion and protector.
00:44:02How is it that you know her?
00:44:04Mr. Murdston and myself once had connections.
00:44:08We were slightly acquainted.
00:44:10It was in his childish days.
00:44:14Circumstances have separated us since.
00:44:16I should not have known him now.
00:44:18Miss Murdston lives here, does she?
00:44:20Yes, she does.
00:44:26And long to see you.
00:44:29Can you arrange for your companion and protector
00:44:33to be away for the day so that we can...
00:44:51Mr. McCorber, how are you?
00:44:55Good heavens!
00:44:57Is it possible?
00:44:58Have I again the pleasure of the holy Copperfield?
00:45:01And how go your business dealings, Mr. McCorber?
00:45:05Ah, yes, business.
00:45:07At present, my dear Copperfield,
00:45:09I have found it necessary to fall back
00:45:12before making what I trust I shall not be accused of presumption
00:45:15in terming a spring.
00:45:17I'm sure you will spring like a tiger, Mr. McCorber.
00:45:20In the meantime, could I invite you and Mrs. McCorber
00:45:24to dine with me in my chambers?
00:45:26Young Copperfield in chambers!
00:45:28Oh, time, you are a thief and a rogue!
00:45:31We shall be delighted, my friend,
00:45:33and you may depend upon it that we shall be hungry.
00:45:37Tomorrow evening, then.
00:45:45Tell me again where Miss Murdston has gone.
00:45:48She came out.
00:45:48And for how long?
00:45:49The whole day.
00:45:51And who is this opening your greenhouse door?
00:45:54You are.
00:46:05My dear Copperfield, this is luxurious.
00:46:09This reminds me of the period
00:46:10when I was myself in a similar state to your good self,
00:46:14and Mrs. McCorber had not yet been solicited
00:46:16to plight her faith with this unworthy wretch.
00:46:20Have you any thoughts on the twin peaks of human existence,
00:46:23namely love and marriage, to occupy your mind?
00:46:27Indeed I have, Mr. McCorber.
00:46:29I have met the most wonderful girl.
00:46:31Her name is Dora.
00:46:33I couldn't be happier.
00:46:38I have met the most wonderful girl.
00:46:39I have met the most wonderful girl.
00:46:40I have met the most wonderful girl.
00:46:40What an unexpected pleasure.
00:46:41Yes, indeed, David.
00:46:43Well, come in and sit down on the sofa.
00:46:45Thank you, David.
00:46:46I prefer to sit upon my property.
00:46:48Aunt Betsy, it's something the matter.
00:46:51David, have you become firm and self-reliant?
00:46:55I hope so, Aunt Betsy.
00:46:57Why do you think I prefer to sit upon this property of mine tonight?
00:47:00I don't know, Aunt Betsy.
00:47:02Because it's all I have.
00:47:04Because I'm ruined, my dear.
00:47:06Oh, no.
00:47:07My dear lady, fear not.
00:47:09I have been to the land of penury,
00:47:12but I have returned.
00:47:13Such is the human spirit.
00:47:15Your friend is right, David.
00:47:17We must learn to act the play out.
00:47:20We must live misfortune down
00:47:22and not suffer it to frighten us.
00:47:24Isn't that right, Mr. Dick?
00:47:33Come in.
00:47:35Hello, Copperfield.
00:47:36Fine morning.
00:47:37Not for everyone, I'm afraid, Mr. Spenlow.
00:47:39You have some unfortunate in mind?
00:47:42My aunt has fallen on bad times.
00:47:45And as a result, I must ask you, sir,
00:47:47if I may relinquish my articles with your firm
00:47:49and regain the thousand pounds I invested.
00:47:51I am sorry to hear this, Copperfield.
00:47:54Extremely sorry.
00:47:55Were the matter up to me alone,
00:47:57I should be happy to refund your thousand pounds,
00:48:00even though it would not be a convenient precedent.
00:48:03But...
00:48:03But, sir...
00:48:04But I fear my partner, Mr. Jorkins,
00:48:07may prove immovable.
00:48:08He is a traditionalist and a very stubborn man.
00:48:11You must speak to him yourself when he returns.
00:48:15Yes.
00:48:24Agnes.
00:48:26What a delight.
00:48:28There is no one I would wish to see more in the world.
00:48:31What about this person, Dora, I have heard of?
00:48:33Well, yes.
00:48:34Perhaps Dora first.
00:48:36Especially as I hope to marry her.
00:48:38But tell me,
00:48:39how go things at home?
00:48:41Not well, I'm afraid.
00:48:43Uriah Heep has moved into the house.
00:48:45He sleeps in your old room.
00:48:47I wish I had the ordering of his dreams.
00:48:50He wouldn't sleep there long.
00:48:51Come and ride with me, David.
00:48:53We have much to catch up on.
00:48:56You must tell me about this Dora.
00:48:58Well, she's very pretty, needless to say.
00:49:02Is she silly as well?
00:49:03Silly?
00:49:04I mean, light-headed.
00:49:07Perhaps.
00:49:08Perhaps just a little bit.
00:49:17Good morning, Mr. Spenlow.
00:49:19Be so good as to go up to my office, Copperfield.
00:49:21Yes, sir.
00:49:25Have the goodness to show Mr. Copperfield
00:49:27what you have in your handbag, Miss Mudstone.
00:49:31I believe that is your writing, Mr. Copperfield.
00:49:34Yes, sir.
00:49:35If I am not mistaken,
00:49:37those are also from your pen, Mr. Copperfield.
00:49:40My dearest own Dora.
00:49:43My best beloved angel.
00:49:46My blessed one forever.
00:49:49You may take these back.
00:49:51Miss Mudstone,
00:49:52be so good as to proceed.
00:49:53I entertained suspicions of your daughter
00:49:56and David Copperfield for some time.
00:49:58I observed Miss Spenlow and this man when they first met
00:50:02and the impression made upon me then was not agreeable.
00:50:06The depravity of the human heart is such...
00:50:09You will oblige me, ma'am,
00:50:11by confining yourself to facts.
00:50:13Very well.
00:50:15Last evening, after tea,
00:50:17I observed the dog rolling about the drawing room worrying something.
00:50:22Dora, what is it the dog has in its mouth?
00:50:25It's paper.
00:50:27That miserable jit.
00:50:28Quiet, Mr. Copperfield.
00:50:30Proceed, Miss Mudstone.
00:50:31At the imminent risk of being bitten,
00:50:34I at length obtained possession of the document.
00:50:37It was, of course, a letter from David Copperfield.
00:50:41My suspicions had been confirmed.
00:50:45Do you have anything to say in reply?
00:50:48All the blame is mine.
00:50:50Dora was...
00:50:51Miss Spenlow, if you please.
00:50:53I love Miss Spenlow, sir,
00:50:54and I'm sorry she's been subjected to this bullying.
00:50:57You have been the cause of the trouble she now finds herself in.
00:51:00And you will oblige me by agreeing never to see her again.
00:51:04I cannot undertake to carry out such an agreement.
00:51:07You will not see her again.
00:51:08If she is willing,
00:51:10then I shall see her again.
00:51:12If only my brother had brought him up.
00:51:29Copperfield!
00:51:30The companion of my youth.
00:51:32Well met, sir.
00:51:34Well met indeed, Mr. McCorber.
00:51:36But can this be right?
00:51:37Are you working for Wickfield and Heap?
00:51:41But where is your family?
00:51:43Have you a home?
00:51:44Indeed we have.
00:51:45Uriah Heap has moved into this house,
00:51:48and we have rented his former quarters.
00:51:51But what brings you to Canterbury?
00:51:53I had to go and check the tenants of my aunt's cottage for her.
00:51:56Have you seen Agnes?
00:51:57Is she about?
00:51:58Through here, sir,
00:51:59lies the object of your affection.
00:52:01You mistake me, Mr. McCorber.
00:52:03I am engaged to be married to one Dora Spenlow.
00:52:08Welcome back, David.
00:52:09Agnes, I'm so pleased to see you.
00:52:11Now be careful, David.
00:52:13Your friend Dora might get jealous.
00:52:14Dora and I are in difficulties at the moment.
00:52:17Her father has disapproved of our engagement
00:52:19and forbidden her to see me.
00:52:21I'm sorry to hear that, David.
00:52:23Agnes, you've always been dear to me.
00:52:26Oh, yes, David?
00:52:28Yes.
00:52:29You've been like a sister.
00:52:30Do I seem like a brother to you?
00:52:32No, you don't.
00:52:33Agnes, you seem to be upset about something.
00:52:36I'm not upset, David.
00:52:37But I really must go and call Papa for dinner.
00:52:40You will stay, won't you?
00:52:56I propose a toast
00:52:58to the provider of this excellent repast,
00:53:02the woman to put all others to shame.
00:53:05Do you mean Agnes?
00:53:07Agnes, Wickfield, is, I am safe to say,
00:53:10the most divine example of her sex.
00:53:13To be her father is a proud distinction,
00:53:16but to be her husband.
00:53:19No, no, you monster!
00:53:21Now, Mr. Wickfield, calm down.
00:53:24Calm down.
00:53:25Look at my torturer.
00:53:27Before him, I have step-by-step
00:53:29abandoned name and reputation,
00:53:31peace and quiet, house and home.
00:53:33You'd better stop him, Copperfield,
00:53:36if you can.
00:53:37He'll say something presently, mind you.
00:53:40You'll be sorry for afterwards.
00:53:42And you'll be sorry to avert.
00:53:44Oh, David.
00:53:45Oh, see the ruin I am.
00:53:47Papa, you're not well.
00:53:49Come with me.
00:53:50As I was saying,
00:53:52I give you the divinest of her sex.
00:54:05That's all I can give you.
00:54:06I've had losses and am poorer than I used to be.
00:54:09Now go.
00:54:13Aunt Betsy,
00:54:14if that beggar's bothering you,
00:54:15I'll have him arrested.
00:54:16It's all right, David.
00:54:18I know him.
00:54:19You know him?
00:54:20That tramp.
00:54:22He's my husband.
00:54:25Oh, no.
00:54:26Betsy Trotter doesn't look a likely subject
00:54:29for tender passion.
00:54:30But the time was, David,
00:54:32when she believed in that man most entirely.
00:54:35He repaid her by breaking her fortune
00:54:38and nearly breaking her heart.
00:54:40I'm so sorry.
00:54:42That's my grumpy, frumpy story.
00:54:44We'll keep it to ourselves, won't we, David?
00:54:47Yes, of course, Aunt Betsy.
00:55:01David?
00:55:02What is it?
00:55:03It's Dora's father.
00:55:05He's dead.
00:55:06Oh, dear.
00:55:07Dora will be sad.
00:55:09I must go to her.
00:55:28Oh, David.
00:55:30Your first book.
00:55:31I'm so proud.
00:55:34You really are a darling girl.
00:55:37Dora, my pet.
00:55:39You're running a fever.
00:55:41I know, David.
00:55:43It's something I get from time to time.
00:55:46Come and lie down.
00:55:48My poor darling.
00:55:50I must go out, but I can't leave you alone.
00:55:53Oh, I'll be perfectly all right.
00:55:55I've had this before.
00:55:57Well, I'll be back as soon as I can, dear Dora.
00:56:08Mr. Peggity.
00:56:10Boy, bless me soul.
00:56:12It's Davy.
00:56:12Who was that woman?
00:56:13That's Martha.
00:56:15She's from our town.
00:56:16Came to London and, well, she's not been well served by fortune.
00:56:21She says she can find Emily for me and will take me to her tonight.
00:56:26Will you?
00:56:27Will you come with me, Davy?
00:56:29Yes, of course.
00:56:30No matter what she's become, I'll still love her.
00:56:34I'll be on this corner come eight o'clock.
00:56:37Good night, young Davy.
00:56:54Dear God, let her be safe.
00:56:57That's all.
00:57:03You are...
00:57:05Martha.
00:57:07Uncle!
00:57:08Oh, no!
00:57:11Thank you for coming with me, Davy, and being my friend.
00:57:15It's nothing, Mr. Peggity.
00:57:23Dora, my darling.
00:57:25You're no better.
00:57:26No, David.
00:57:28I'm sorry.
00:57:31Thank you for coming, Agnes.
00:57:33It means so much to me to have you here, giving all your wonderful support.
00:57:37Now, David, since you're so convinced that I'm like a sister to you, it behoves me to behave
00:57:42like a sister, and I'll do anything I can to help.
00:57:44Thank you, Agnes.
00:57:45David, Dora has made two requests.
00:57:49She would like to talk with Agnes alone, and she would like to talk to you alone.
00:57:54I'll see her now.
00:57:56I'll see her now.
00:57:56Agnes, tell her that I love her and...
00:57:59But I'm sorry.
00:58:01Yes, David.
00:58:03She reminds me so much of your sweet mother, David.
00:58:07Such a sweet, pretty, frail creature.
00:58:09She's so delicate like tinsel.
00:58:11Yes, Peggity.
00:58:13She's very like tinsel.
00:58:16How is she now?
00:58:18It's as the doctor said.
00:58:20It depends on her will.
00:58:22Why does she want to see Agnes and I separately?
00:58:24I don't know, David.
00:58:26How much strength has she left?
00:58:28We'll know by morning.
00:58:36Dora.
00:58:38Dora.
00:58:39Hush, my darling.
00:58:41It's better like this.
00:58:44You couldn't have loved your child wife better than you do.
00:58:49After a while, she would so have tried and disappointed you that you might not have been able to love
00:58:57her half so well.
00:59:01No, Dora.
00:59:02That's not true.
00:59:10She's dead.
00:59:14She's dead.
00:59:18She's dead.
00:59:20She's dead.
00:59:22She's dead.
00:59:32She's dead.
00:59:36She's dead.
00:59:50Ah, my friends, who are more welcome to me than money itself, please come in.
00:59:56Mr. McCormack, I wonder if you would be so good as to tell us why you have called up here.
01:00:01To expose villainy, madame, and to restore your fortunes.
01:00:05Two noble causes, I think you will agree.
01:00:08Please step this way.
01:00:15With your permission, Heap.
01:00:17Miss Trotwood, mad Mr. Copperfield and Mr. Dick.
01:00:23Well, well, this is an unexpected pleasure.
01:00:27Things have changed in this office, Miss Trotwood, since I was an humble clerk, haven't they?
01:00:33But I am not changed, Miss Trotwood.
01:00:36No.
01:00:37You've been pretty constant with the promise of your youth, if that's any satisfaction to me.
01:00:41Oh, thank you, madame, for your good opinion.
01:00:44Don't wait, McCormack.
01:00:47What are you waiting for, McCormack?
01:00:49Did you not hear me tell you to go?
01:00:52I did.
01:00:53Then why do you wait?
01:00:54Because I, in short, choose to.
01:00:58Go along.
01:00:59I'll talk to you, Preston.
01:01:01If there is a scoundrel on this earth with whom I've already talked too much, that scoundrel's name is Heath.
01:01:08Oh, I see.
01:01:10This is a conspiracy.
01:01:13You've never liked me, Copperfield, have you?
01:01:16And now you're plotting against me.
01:01:19Well, beware, Copperfield, for I'll counter-plot you.
01:01:23McCormack, you be off.
01:01:25I'll talk to you presently.
01:01:27Mr. McCormack, you may deal with this fellow as he deserves.
01:01:35Very well.
01:01:37Soon after joining Wickfield and Heap, I found the agreed salary of 22 shillings and sixpence insufficient to alleviate the
01:01:46poverty of my family.
01:01:47I then entered into a state of indebtedness to the snake Heap, in the form of IOUs.
01:01:53In return for these, I was called on to forge the signature of Mr. Wickfield and systematically defraud him and
01:02:01his clients, including Miss Trotwood.
01:02:04My books.
01:02:06My proof.
01:02:07So, Heap, it is you who have ruined me.
01:02:10Fear not, my lady.
01:02:12All shall be returned to you.
01:02:14We need a couple of officers of the law.
01:02:16And we need to have this heap made fast in a locked room.
01:02:20We are most grateful to you.
01:02:22You're a man who conducts himself well and is industrial.
01:02:26It seems to me that Australia would be a legitimate sphere of action for Mr. McCormack.
01:02:32Tell me, have you ever thought of emigrating?
01:02:35I'm not sure that I...
01:02:36That's of course by a loan from me.
01:02:39Madam, I hear the call of the wild, and the call is Australia.
01:02:50Baby, a moment.
01:02:53Come in, Mr. Peggity.
01:02:54There's no time.
01:02:56I've decided to take little Emily far away where there's time to forget.
01:03:00But where will you go?
01:03:02Australia.
01:03:03Emily's written a note to Emma.
01:03:05A good boy note asking his forgiveness.
01:03:08Will you take it to him?
01:03:09Yes, of course.
01:03:10God bless you, Davy.
01:03:14That's a remarkable sky.
01:03:17I've never seen one like it.
01:03:19Nor I think it's not equal to that.
01:03:22It's winter.
01:03:24There'll be mischief done at sea, I expect, before long.
01:03:28I'm ashamed to go to Ericka.
01:03:59And, and!
01:04:28Ham! Ham, what's going on?
01:04:32It's a wreck, Master Davy. A schooner from Spine or Hornicle, lightened with fruit and wine.
01:04:38There's also passengers aboard a crew, and there's someone still alive.
01:04:42What's this, Ham?
01:04:43Someone has to swim out there, Master Davy.
01:04:45Ham, no!
01:04:46Don't worry, Master Davy.
01:04:48Don't go, Ham!
01:04:49If my time has come, it's come. If it ain't so much the better.
01:04:55Lord of all bless you, Master Davy.
01:04:58Mike, are you ready?
01:05:00I'm off.
01:05:30Emily's written a note to him. A good boy don't ask him his forgiveness. Will you take it to him?
01:05:45Theanser will shift and go.
01:05:49Are you ready?
01:05:59We won't go away!
01:06:41I think they're gone.
01:06:43Ah!
01:06:56Tim, it was you.
01:06:57David, promise me one thing.
01:07:00Yes?
01:07:00If anything should happen, or if I should have to go away,
01:07:04promise me this,
01:07:05that you'll always think of me at my best.
01:07:08Oh, you have best or worst.
01:07:11So, my friend, always will be.
01:07:13Oh, my friend, always will be.
01:07:14Oh, my friend.
01:07:15Oh!
01:07:17Oh!
01:07:19Oh!
01:07:23Oh!
01:07:26Oh!
01:07:28Oh!
01:07:29Oh!
01:07:34Oh!
01:07:38Oh!
01:07:39If I said I would like to call you something more than sister,
01:07:43something widely different from sister,
01:07:46I would, of course, run the risk of losing your sisterly love.
01:07:49But the fact is, Agnes, I love you.
01:07:53And I've only just realized it.
01:07:55How do you feel?
01:07:57Do I love in vain?
01:07:59Tell me, Agnes, or tell me.
01:08:01There is one thing I must say.
01:08:03What is it?
01:08:04I have loved you all my life.
01:08:13Dear husband, now that I may call you that,
01:08:16I have one more thing to tell you.
01:08:18What is it, my love?
01:08:19Just before she died, Dora asked to see me.
01:08:22I remember.
01:08:23She made a last request of me,
01:08:25that I would do all in my power to make her wish come true.
01:08:28But if you remarried, it would be to me.
01:08:31Then her wish has come true.
01:08:33Yes, my darling.
01:08:36Oh, my God.
