Goodbye, Mr. Chips Page #3

That is, if you ever get them.

Especially as this year.

I've been invited to shoot at Dumlochspey.

Dumlochspey?

Where are you going for your holiday,

Mr. Chipping?

To the new excavations at Pompeii.

Pompeii?

- But won't that be hot at this time of year?

- Yes.

He must be in the late 30s by now.

but I always think of him as a boy.

Oh, no, headmaster.

I'm sure you're a very good shot.

- You're staying in London, aren't you?

- Yes, with Johnnie Longbridge.

Lord Longbridge? But I...

You're very lucky to have so rich

and hospitable an ex-pupil.

Oh, I don't know, Max.

Charlie was a very nice boy.

Quite a good scholar too.

We always got on.

- Is he taking you to the Old Vic as usual?

- Wasn't Lord Longbridge married?

- No.

- No.

- I ask...

- That was the father.

Present Lord Longbridge is unmarried.

- It's the Medea which I wanted to see.

- He's quite young.

He's got tickets for something

he wants to see for some reason...

...called, apparently.

Flossie from Fulham.

But you're very lucky, Mr. Chipping.

My dear fellow, that is most shocking.

Am I, indeed, Mrs. Summersthwaite?

It's a divine show, quite divine.

and a very big hit.

Hit?

- That means a success.

- Does it?

Flossie from Fulham is a divine show,

and you'll adore it.

Oh, splendid.

But Medea, Max, isn't it a shame?

I wonder if I could get Johnnie

to change his mind.

I'm looking forward like mad

to seeing this extravaganza.

I'm sorry, Chips. I know very well

what you'd rather be seeing...

...but I had to bring you

to meet the gill I intend to many.

You're not serious, surely.

- You did say marry?

- Oh, yes, if she'll have me.

I'm standing, at the moment.

lather low on her list.

I'm sure she's utterly delightful,

but think of your name, your position...

...those Shakespeare first folios

in the library at Charworth.

Dear Chips, I'm awfully fond of you.

- Why?

- I say, a treasure hunt in Fulham.

- What a capital idea.

- Why what?

- Blimey, Ben, look at them...

- Why are you awfully fond of me?

Where is the owner of this fish stole?

- Yeah, where's Flossie?

- Flossie?

I say, what an absolute corker you are,

dear Miss Fish Stall Owner.

Plainly, the femme fatale of Fulham.

Oh, wherever did you come from,

all dressed up so la-di-da?

Oh, the West End of London.

Well, as long as it's London.

it's all light with me.

Ems stands in Piccadilly Circus

Nelson stands in Trafalgar Square

Big Ben stands by the River Thames

And will as long as the Thames is there

London is a strange, unchanging town

And take my word

Whatever you've heard

London Bridge has no intention

Of falling down

Oh, London is London
