Mr. Pip Page #2
Mrs Joe Gargery,
who married the blacksmith.
As I never saw my father or my mother,
and never saw any likeness
of either of them,
for their days were long before
the days of photographs,
what they were like
were unreasonably derived
from their tombstones.
The shape of the letters
on my fathers
gave me an odd idea that he was
a square, stout, dark man,
From the character and turn
of the inscription,
"Also Georgiana Wife of the Above,"
I drew a childish conclusion that
my mother was freckled and sickly.'
'To five little stone lozenges,
each about afoot and a half long,
which were arranged in a neat row
beside their grave,
and were sacred to the memory
of five little brothers of mine,
who gave up trying to get a living
exceedingly early in
that universal struggle.
I am indebted for a belief
I religiously entertained
that they had all been born
on their backs
with their hands
in this state of existence.
At such a time I found out for certain
that this bleak place,
overgrown with nettles,
was the churchyard.'
Who are you?
What are you doing here?
I came to see my brothers,
I'm sorry.
I actually used to think
they'd been born like that,
on their backs with their hands
I prefer to think of them that way.
You there!
Get down.
Stay there.
Wait.
Come here!
No, don't... Stop!
Hold your noise.
Keep still, or I'll cut your throat.
Don't cut my throat, sir.
Tell us your name.
Pip, sir! Pip!
You know what file is?
Yes, sir.
And wittles? You bring the lot to me,
at the old Battery. You do it.
And you shall be let to live.
Now, what do you say?
A battery, sir?
Yes.
Not like the battery in my radio.
'Battery' in this case means
a military encampment.
A place with guns.
Like the no-go zone?
Where the rebels are.
Yes. Kind of.
That's very good, Sam.
So he stole his mother's pork pie?
Pip's an orphan.
He lives with his sister.
Brought him up by hand.
Sounds like she needed to
use her hand on him a little more.
What would you do, girl,
if a man was hiding in the jungle
and asked you to steal from me?
Would you do that?
No.
Pop-Eye should be teaching you kids
proper behaviour.
From now on, I wanna know everything
that happens in that book,
You hear me, Matilda?
Yes, Mum.
'That was a memorable day to me,
for it made great changes in me.
But it is the same with any life.
Imagine one selected day struck out
of your life
and think how different
Let's go grab the malaria tablets.
