Goodbye, Mr. Chips Page #4

---

-Can anyone enlighten this boy?

-Yes, sir. A-M-A-R-D-A.

-No, no, no.

-A-M-A-D-A!

-A-R-M-D-A!

No, it's A-M-A-R-D-A!

-Silence! Do you hear me?

-Silence! Silence! Didn't you hear me?

The teacher said, "Silence!"

Shut up, you lunatic!

Boys, do you hear me? Sit down!

Be quiet! Sit down, boys!

-Who did that, sir? I'll kill him for you, sir.

-Colley!

What is this?

What is happening?

Mr. Chipping?!

I'm-- I'm sorry, sir. I'm afraid I--

It is just 18 years ago this term...

...since I had occasion to cane

the entire lower school.

The young gentlemen of that day

came honestly by their punishment.

I think I can say the same for you.

You will present yourselves

at my study tomorrow...

...in alphabetical order at intervals

of three minutes starting at 3:00.

I believe I can promise you

that I have lost none of my vigor.

-I think you better see me after prayers.

-Yes, sir.

Our profession is not

an easy one, Mr. Chipping.

It calls for something more

than a university degree.

Our business is to mold men.

It demands character and courage.

Above all, it demands the ability

to exercise authority.

Without that, I think any young man

should ask himself seriously...

...if he has not perhaps

mistaken his vocation.

-No, sir--

-When a man is young, Mr. Chipping...

...there are many

walks of life open to him.

I hope you don't mean I should resign.

I should be very reluctant to do that, sir.

It means everything to me to come

to Brookfield. I'll get on.

-Please give me the chance to prove it, sir.

-I am willing to forget the incident...

...but will those boys forget it?

You're going to have to face them again.

That'll take courage. Moral courage.

-However, if you care to make the trial--

-Thank you, sir.

-I shall watch your progress with interest.

-Thank you, sir. I'm deeply grateful to you.

Hello, Chipping. I hear the boys

gave you a rough time.

They will not do it again,

Mr. Bingham, I assure you.

Before we leave

I want to wish our cricket II ...

...the best of luck against

Sedbury this afternoon.

This year, Sedbury claims to be

sending us the finest team...

...that ever came out

of a very fine school.

Well, we shall give them

a hearty welcome.

We shall give them a big tea,

but I venture to predict...

...we shall not give them the cup.

The boys are unusually quiet.

What does it mean?

Something has occurred. What is it?

Well, sir, it's really

no business of mine, but--

-I think, sir, perhaps I can explain.

You, Mr. Chipping?

Yes, sir. I'm keeping my class

in this afternoon.

-That means Maynard, our best player--

-Please, Mr. Shane.

Sir, I'd entirely forgotten

about the cricket match.
