Great Expectations Page #6

that you always bear the name of Pip.

If you have any objection,

now is the time to mention it.

I have no objection.

I should think not, indeed.

Secondly, Mr. Pip,

you are to understand that the name

of the person who is your benefactor

is to remain a profound secret

until that person chooses to reveal it.

If you have any suspicion

whom that person might be,

keep that suspicion

within your own breast.

If you have any objection,

now is the time to mention it.

- Speak out.

- I have no objection.

And now, Mr. Pip,

kindly consider me your guardian.

I thank you, sir.

I'm well paid for my services,

otherwise I shouldn't render them.

I have arranged for you

to go to London in a week's time.

You will need some new clothes.

They should not be working clothes.

Twenty guineas.

Well, Joseph Gargery?

You look dumbfounded.

I am.

Then good night, Mr. Gargery.

- Good night, Pip.

- Good night, sir.

Pip!

A young gentleman of great

expectations!

Biddy! Biddy!

Pip!

This is a very gay figure, Pip.

I start for London tomorrow.

I thought you would not mind

my taking leave of you.

Well?

I've come into such good fortune

since I saw you last

and I am so grateful for it.

I've seen Mr. Jaggers, Pip.

I've heard about it.

- So you go tomorrow?

- Yes, Miss Havisham.

And you are adopted by a rich person.

- Not named?

- No, Miss Havisham.

And Mr. Jaggers is made your guardian?

Yes, Miss Havisham.

- Is Estella...

- Abroad.

Prettier than ever

and admired by all who see her.

And you too have

a promising career before you.

Be good and deserve it, Pip.

You will always keep

the name of Pip, you know.

Yes, Miss Havisham.

Goodbye, Pip.

Well...

Bye, Joe.

God bless you, dear old Pip.

God bless you.

- Bye, Biddy.

- Goodbye, Pip.

One day I'll come

and see you in London, Pip,

and then what larks, eh?

- Goodbye!

- Goodbye, Joe.

Goodbye, Pip, old chap.

Hey, London.

Ahem. Excuse me, please.

Is Mr. Jaggers at home?

He is not. He's in court at present.

- Am I addressing Mr. Pip?

- Yes, I'm Mr. Pip.

Mr. Jaggers left word would you wait

in his room. This way, please.

Couldn't say how long he might be

but he won't be longer than he can help.

Go and wait outside, Mike.

- I hope I'm not interrupting.

- Oh, certainly not.

Oi!

- Your first time in London, Mr. Pip?

- Yes, sir.

I was new here once.

Rum to think of it now.

- Whose likeness is that?

- That?

This is our most famous client.

Got us a world of credit.

This chap murdered his master.

Didn't plan it badly.

- Is it like him?

- Like him? It is him, you know.

This cast was made in Newgate,

directly after he was taken down.

Your man is on this afternoon.
