To work.

We know you're in there!

We're not going to wait forever

for you to pay your debts!

If you don't pay,

we'll take all the rest of your goods!

Aye, and your precious little girl, too.

Aye Micawber, either you pay of

you go to the debtor's prison.

Nobody home!

No collectors can come in here!

Oh! Stop it! Get up!

Oh, the scene of our beautiful stead,

So desecrated with

those no good creatures.

Please ma'am, I am David Copperfield.

I was told I was to lodge here.

Ah, welcome Master Copperfield.

I am Mrs. Micawber.

This is my family.

I'm Clickett, the house maid

from the new orphanage.

Mind your manners, Clickett.

I never thought before I was married,

And when I lived with pa and mama,

That I should ever find it necessary

to take a lodger.

Stop it dear, stop it!

Oh, I am forgetting.

You must be impatient to see your room.

Yes ma'am.

Come dear.

Baked potatoe! Baked potatoe here!

A baked potatoe, sir?

No thanks.

You're all heart, sir.

Even so.

We're not waiting forever for you

to pay us your debts!

If you don't pay us your debts,

we'll have you throw in jail!

You can't hide from all of us!

Pay us, will you? Just pay us!

No luxury, but simple comfort.

Pay up Micawber! Pay up Micawber!

We're not going to wait!

Pay up Micawber!

Aahhh! Mr. Micawber!

Children, it is your papa!

Always relentlessly pursued onto

an aerial housetop,

And vice-versa.

I have thwarted the malevolent

macabreations of

Our tireless enemies.

In short, I have arrived.

My family, ah... how are you doing?

My children, my home!

This is Master David Copperfield,

who has come to lodge with us.

Oh, just so. Pardon me children.

All that we have is yours,

Master Copperfield.

Our domestic comfort, quiet,

the privacy, call them your own.

Thank you sir.

Count on us, now and forever.

I will, Mr. Micawber.

Now that you are about to share with us

the privileges

Of our domain,

I will make no stranger of you.

As man to man, I will confide in you.

That for years, I have been hounded,

most unjustly,

By my creditors.

Short sighted fools, they are.

I'm sorry, sir.

I grant you, that I have

already tried the coal trade,

Haberdashery trade,

And Her Majesty's Marines,

and found none of these entirely

Suited to my,

Somewhat, special talents.

But now...

Yes, Mr. Micawber?

I am confidently expecting something

to turn up!

My Micawber, you've been here

three weeks, ain't you?

Yes sir.

Then why ain't you learned nothing!

Gentlemen, gentlemen.

Gentlemen!

Gentlemen! In the aggregate,

I judge you to be

a highly distasteful collection.

And to detail:
Cowardly, uncouth, and

deserving of

Merciless chastisement.

You'll oblige me by removing
