Goodbye, Mr. Chips Page #2

Synopsis: In the later years of the nineteenth century Latin master Mr. Chipping is the mainstay of Brookfields boys boarding school, a good teacher and a kindly person but he is considered to be married to the job so that it is a surprise when, on a walking holiday, he meets and marries the vivacious Kathie,who becomes his helpmate at the school but sadly pre-deceases him.

He is saddened by the waste of young lives in the pointless war and also by the death of his old friend and former German teacher Max, who had returned to his homeland to fight for Germany and he reminds the assembled boys that an individual's goodness is more important than their nationality. It is a sad day for all concerned when Chi

(Man) Get a move on, you chaps!

Oh!

(Man) Go to it, hounds!

Bailey. Eastham. Bell. Watson.

Hope you're getting them all!

When you consider that

Metcalf is a housemaster

does one want to be a housemaster?

Pick those feet up, Brookfield men!

- Pick those feet up!

- Still, I should like to be asked.

So should I. Good, keep going!

Collins, well done.

But I shan't get it, I have become

philosophical about my ambition.

It makes me avoid disappointment.

Have we done?

Er, yes, I think so...

Oh, no, Alderdyce.

(Gasping and coughing)

(Chipping) Oh!

That's enough.

Let's get you back, Alderdyce.

Please, sir, I want to run. (Coughs)

- Don't talk nonsense.

- Watch out.

Alderdyce!

Get back on the trail at once!

Chipping, what are you doing?

Oh, come on, he's been in

the sanatorium since Term Day.

Do not mollycoddle him!

Do you want him to be ill again?

No, this is not good.

Very well.

Alderdyce, be a milksop.

See how that will profit you.

Really, Metcalf!

- Come on, Alderdyce.

- (Metcalf) Come on, boys!

Alderdyce is on holiday!

Fifteen minutes

to full change, everyone!

Well done, Hounds.

Very well done.

Well done, Hare - where are you?

Jolly good trail. Well done.

- So well done everyone.

- Thanks.

Or nearly everyone.

(Jeering)

(Coughing)

And expect Cicero. They're obsessed

with Cicero at Cambridge.

Yes, sir.

You should feel very confident,

Hawthorne,

I've not had a student

who prepared so thoroughly.

Come on, Hawthorne, what is it?

Sir, I've been a scholarship boy

at Brookfield

and been made to feel pretty low

on account of it.

Hawthorne, scholarships

honour the intellect.

Our bursaries here make Brookfield

very, very special to me.

But sir, everyone here knows

they only go to...to the unwealthy.

And everyone at Cambridge

will know that too.

Doesn't the quality of the mind

outweigh all social considerations?

When you graduate from Cambridge,

and you shall gain entry,

then I am certain you shall graduate

with distinction,

help whom you can

to use their minds well.

That will level the score, hm?

(Floor creaks)

(Yells)

Ow! Get off!

Get off! Ow!

(Gasps)

(Banging from outside)

Ouch!

Cease this!

Now would be a good time

to feel ashamed, gentlemen.

Sir, this is our house initiation.

It's barbaric, Rinehart. Barbaric!

I've said so before

and I shall go on saying it

- until good behaviour supervenes.

- But, sir, I was barrelled.

Precisely! And it made you

a barbarian! Now get to your house!

(Rattling)

- Alderdyce.

- Sir...

Come along.

(Sighs)

(Metcalf) Come on, come on!

Quietly!

Straight to bed.

What is this?

Chipping, what have you done now?

- Alderdyce, were you barrelled?
