-Forgotten?

-Yes.

My attention was drawn to the fact by

my class in such an insolent manner...

...I thought it inadvisable

to go back on my decision.

You observe the effect on the school?

I do indeed, sir. It's most regrettable.

Go on! Run it out! Run! Run!

-No, no, get back, you ass!

-Get back!

-Get back! Get back!

Out!

We've lost.

-Bad luck, Maynard.

Colley.

All right, sir. Sedbury's beaten us.

We've lost the cup.

Not just us, it's the whole school.

You don't care how the fellows feel.

You don't want to be liked!

Perhaps you don't mind being hated!

Boys...

...I'd like to say that my judgment, in

the first place, was hasty and ill-advised.

And no one regrets more

than Dr. Wetherby...

...that my authority had to be upheld.

If I've lost your friendship,

there's little left that I value.

You may go.

-Latton.

-Lemare.

-Ligbottom.

-Miller.

Mitchell.

-Wagstaff.

-Wallington.

-Walters primus.

-Walters secundus.

Aimighty Father, thou who has watched

over us and protected us here at work...

...grant that the holidays ahead may be

to us a source of rest and refreshment.

And that we may employ the happy time

of leisure with grace and wisdom...

...to the greater glory

of thy son, our Lord.

-Amen.

-Amen.

Sorry, sir.

And where are you going

to spend the holidays?

-Have a good holiday, Matthews.

-Thanks awfully, sir.

-Where are you going?

-Folkestone, sir.

-Oh.

-Hey, Johnson, wait for me.

Mr. Chipping.

You remember me? Hargreaves.

Of course, I remember you,

but you've grown, you know.

Do you remember the day

we met in the train?

Oh, I remember, yes.

You told me to cheer up,

and I nearly drowned you in tears.

It was my first term as well.

If you hadn't started first...

...I should have done the crying myself.

I heard that you were leaving

here a few years ago.

Yes, I was going to leave. I was going

to be a classics master at Harrow...

...but it just didn't happen though.

Perhaps I shouldn't mention it, but I rather

expect to be housemaster next term.

-Woodward is leaving.

-That's splendid. Congratulations.

-Thank you.

-I suppose I'm keeping you...

...from your packing.

Goodbye, Mr. Chipping.

Goodbye, Hargreaves.

Glad to have seen you.

Well, here we are.

Now, who will have a piece?

-Raven.

-Thanks, Staefel.

-Ogilvie?

-Cake. Where'd you get that, schnitzel?

-It was a present from my German class.

-Good.

I can't understand these English boys.

The whole term,

they behaved to me like 50 devils.

Then today, they make me a speech,

they give me a cake...

...and I burst out of tears.

-Into tears, Staefel. In English the--

-Shut up, Ogilvie. The term's over.

-Chipping, cake?
