Great Expectations - Mini

Do you not want it?

Varmint nonpareil, as they say.

Bound for the end of the world now.

Perhaps you, like Estella, will be extraordinary.

Why would I want to be friends with YOU?

Thought you might be lonely.

Missus!

Do you not think, Pip, that Estella is beautiful?

Pip has a fortune.

The owner of this handsome property also desires

that Mr Pirrip immediately go to London,

where he is to live as a young fellow of great expectations.

London and Inns of Court!

Thank you. Sir.

Where's Mr Jaggers' office?

I'm first. I'm first! I've been waiting longer than anyone!

I'm first! Amelia, I have told you, over and over,

I know enough of your husband to keep him from the drop.

I do not want to know the truth, the law does not require it!

And you, sir, must pay Wemmick the full cost,

only then can we discuss the mitigation of your circumstances.

I can pay you double!

If you'll be for my brother, I can pay you double!

It is too late.

I am already on the other side of the floor.

You are against him?

Follow.

Have mercy! Mr Jaggers! Mr Jaggers!

Follow.

So the young gentleman of expectations arrives in London.

Every Friday, you and other young men of means

for whose families I perform the function of guardian,

will come here to receive your allowance for that week.

Are you listening?

Yes, Mr Jaggers.

This will continue until you come of age

and receive your fortune,

which you may carefully preserve for posterity

or squander inside a calendar month.

At that point, you may do as you will,

because you are no longer under my charge.

Until then, you do...

as I say.

What's for lunch?

A kidney pie, Mr Jaggers. The gravy is most fragrant.

Rooms have been arranged for you at Barnard's Inn,

where you are to share with young Mr Pocket.

Herbert Pocket?

Mr Pocket has been engaged to help habituate you to your new life.

This can't be right.

Herbert's related to Miss Havisham and she's...

The proviso, Pip.

You do not discuss or speculate as to the identity

of your benefactor until they themselves reveal their identity

at your majority or very soon after.

I know but...

But nothing!

Young Mr Pocket has been cut off from his family.

He is Mr Wemmick's suggestion. If it proves unsatisfactory,

we will endeavour to find someone more suitable.

Mr Wemmick will give you the first instalment of your allowance.

Be prudent with it. Do NOT fall into debt.

Questions?

I wondered if Miss Havisham had told you

when Estella might be comin' to London?

And why would I be furnished

with the details of that young lady's itinerary?

I just thought that... Do not think, Pip.

It never leads to anywhere edifying.

Back to the Bailey!

What's that head, Mr Wemmick?

One lost to the drop.

The cast taken when he was fresh down.

Why does Mr Jaggers keep it?

It was the man's request.

He ended up in the common pit.

No marker, no stone to say he'd ever existed.

And he was one of the best at his trade until the law did for him.

He wanted to be remembered. Jaggers honoured his final wish.

It's horrible. It is his sentinel.

Memento mori.

Sign here, please.

Mike?

Show Mr Pip the way to Barnard's Inn and introduce him to the watchman.

It's not Mr Pip, it's just Pip.

It's in the proviso.

Just Pip.

Just Pip.

New one for you.

Put your hand in your pocket and give the man some money.

Number two, sir.

- Hot and fresh! - Fresh today!

Hot and fresh!

I guessed it was you!

And once Mr Jaggers had said where you were from

and that there was a connection to Satis House, I was certain.

You do remember me, don't you?

I hit you.

Yes. Rather hard, if I recall.

I'd like to apologise for my contemptible behaviour that day.

Something about that house brings out the worst in people.

I more than asked to receive a bloody nose.

I assure you I am a much changed man,

though I understand if you're not comfortable.

It's just... you knew me before.

And... I don't want before to follow me here.

I don't want before to follow me, either.

Let's start again.

Every gentleman belongs to a club and Finches is one of the best.

I keep expecting to be turned away.

You have every right to be here.

They're grateful you've set foot on their carpet.

Sorry.

Mr Jaggers said you'd been cut off? Why?

I met a girl.

Clara.

And when my family found out that her family was of no significance,

they forbade any further association.

So I defied their judgment and am, in consequence, quite cut off.

Not a penny. So, now, I look about me.

You look about you? For employment.

To support Clara and the many children we will have

when I can afford for us to marry.

In the interim, Mr Wemmick is kind enough to

suggest ways in which I can make myself useful.

Your wine, sir.

Thank you.

Herbert, you ain't... haven't asked how I came by my good fortune.

Well, I gather there are legal conditions.

One cannot help but draw conclusions...

You must have made a very great impression at Satis House.

You don't mind?

Pip, the last person I'd like to have influence over my life is Miss Havisham.

But if it's what you want. It is.

Then I'm very happy for you.

Put this hand on, um, on my waist.

No, lightly, Pip. No gripping, no grasping.

And you take the other hand, like so...

Gently! Pip, this is not a knuckle-crushing competition.

And...

One, two, three.

One, two, three. One...

One... Foot! ..two, three.

My foot again! ..two, three.

One, two, three. Elbow, two, three.

Two, three.

Backwards... and forwards.

And then you raise your left hand gracefully, like this.

Left foot, and right foot.

And twir...

Maybe not quite so hard.

Twirl me.

That was not bad at all!

Take one to Mr Denby with my compliments.

Of course, sir.

I want to be invited to one of his card games.

This is very expensive, Pip.

It's a crucial part of my education. We'll be more sober next week.

You said that last week!

I'm supposed to be looking about me, I'm so terribly drunk.

Try harder with your drunkenness and you won't be so terrible at it.

You're not allowed in here. This is a gentleman's club.

You're alive, then.

Us was wondering.

Sir... You've no call to lay 'ands on me. Tell 'em, Pip.

There's no problem here, thank you.

Herbert Pocket.

Would you like to sit down, Mr...?

Gargery.

You take some seeking out.

First off, went to that Jaggers.

They told me where you was livin', went there, you weren't in,

went back and they told me you might be here.

I been all over the place but found you at last.

Lucky the marshes breeds us determined?

Nothing to say to me, Pip?

Let's go.

Stop running now, can we?

I wasn't running.

You'll want coffee. I'll send for some coffee.

Don't care about no coffee.

I want to see you.

You look... different.

It's just a suit.

You talk different.

Not a word, Pip.

Not one word to say you're safe, you're well.

I've been very busy. I haven't noticed the time going by.

Well, it has gone by.

Months have passed.

And you is missed.

Forge is empty, house is empty without you.

I'm sorry, but as you can see, I'm quite well.

Missus lives to hear from you.

Lives for it.

What else has she got but starin' at the wall every day?

Write to her. And who would read it?

Pumblechook could read it to her and to me both.

He merely wants to brag about how he gave me my first opportunity.

He's a idiot, let him brag, doesn't do you any hurt.
