Get up!
Go on!
Get up! Get up!
Get up!
Get up! Get up!
- Shall we have 'em out, Tom?
- Yeah.
I'm obliged to ask you to
lighten the load up the hill.
I think you'll have some slight
difficulty in... waking my companion.
Sir? Sir!
Wake up, if you'd be so kind, sir.
No breakfast for me.
I never take breakfast.
Breakfast? We're a long
way from Dover yet, sir.
Then what the devil's happening?
We are mud-bound, sir, and have
been asked to lighten the load.
Ah.
Then it shall be lightened.
A little help for hard-working horses
detests work as much as I do.
Indeed, sir. For a man
of business like myself,
it would be a matter
of serious disability.
Er, no. I thank you.
Ho! Away!
- You, I presume, are not a man of business.
- Business? Lord love you, no, sir.
Nothing nearly so respectable.
But you need have no cause for alarm.
- If I were the robber you now suspect...
- No, no.
.. is it likely that I should be
travelling unattended to the assizes?
Ah! The assizes. You
are a lion of the law?
A lion? You flatter me, sir.
I'm a jackal rendering service to a far
better-fed lion than I shall ever become.
When one is born without energy...
Whoa there!
- What do you say?
- It's an 'orse coming up at a canter.
I say 'orse coming up at a gallop, Tom.
Gentlemen, in the
King's name. Both of you.
It will be useless, I fear, to
assure you this is no partner of mine.
Whoa there!
Is that the Dover Mail?
Why do you want to know?
Have you got a passenger -
Mr Jarvis Lorry?
No. Carton. Sydney Carton is my name.
I am Jarvis Lorry. Who wants me?
It's Jerry, master. Jerry Cruncher.
I've got an urgent despatch
for you from T and Company.
I know this messenger well,
guard. There's nothing to fear.
I belong to Tellson's Bank in London.
I'm going to Paris on business.
- Wait. A crown for a drink.
- Hello, you!
- Yes?
- Come on at footpace.
If you're wearing a pistol don't
let me see your hand go near it
Whoa.
Here, there, master.
Wait at Dover for Mam'selle.
Huh!
Recalled to life.
Beg pardon, sir?
That will serve for my answer.
- Recalled to life.
- It's a blazin' strange answer.
Take back that message. They will know I
received this as well as if I wrote myself.
Good night, Jerry.
Good night, sir.
Recalled to life.
Come on.
That was indeed a
blazing strange answer.
Whoa! Away there!
Go on! Get up!
Morning, sir.
Morning.
I want a bedroom and a barber.
- Yes, Mr Lorry.
- If you please.
I wish accommodation to be
prepared also for a young lady.
- A Miss Manette.
- Yes Mr Lorry
She will be arriving
by the evening Mail.
I'll have rooms prepared.
And for you, sir?
- Nothing at all, apart from a bowl of punch.
- No bed, sir?
enough to reach my bed.
Nor, alas, can I look forward to the
pleasure of being joined by a young lady.
You are travelling home
to France, Miss Manette?
- I'm going to Paris.
- Oh.
But England has long been my home.
You know this country well?
I used to come here
often before the war.
It's a pleasure to be
I fear this is my destination.
Oh.
How very rude.
May I hope we shall meet again?
- Perhaps on the packet ship tomorrow.
- Get up there
It would be a pleasure to me, Mr Darnay.
There goes an evil-minded
blackguard, if ever I saw one.
Who? Mr Darnay?
Oh, I thought he was a
most agreeable gentleman.
No, not your Mr Darnay. The other one.
have eyes for nobody else.
Ah!
There you are, Sydney.
