00:00:45,541 --> 00:00:49,978
Mr Dombey, sir, Joey B is not in general
a man of sentiment,

5
00:00:50,061 --> 00:00:53,099
for Joseph, he's tough. Ha-ha!

6
00:00:53,181 --> 00:00:57,300
But er, he has his feelings
and when they are awakened...

7
00:00:57,981 --> 00:01:00,700
...damme, Dombey, I'm glad to see you.

8
00:01:00,781 --> 00:01:02,738
I'm proud to see you

9
00:01:02,821 --> 00:01:06,177
and there's not many men in Europe
to whom J Bagstock would say that.

10
00:01:06,261 --> 00:01:09,572
For Josh is blunt, sir, it's his nature.

11
00:01:09,661 --> 00:01:14,815
But er, Joey B is proud to see you, Dombey.

12
00:01:14,901 --> 00:01:17,177
Major, you are very obliging.

13
00:01:17,901 --> 00:01:21,178
No, sir, Devil a bit.
That's not my character.

14
00:01:21,261 --> 00:01:23,457
No, if that had been Joe's character,

Beg your pardon, sir,
but I hope you're doing pretty well, sir.

19
00:01:35,021 --> 00:01:36,250
Impertinence!

20
00:01:36,341 --> 00:01:41,051
Excuse the liberty, sir,
but you remember my wife, Polly?

21
00:01:41,141 --> 00:01:44,179
- Hm?
- As was called Richards in your family.

22
00:01:44,261 --> 00:01:47,777
Oh, yes. I remember you.
Your wife wants money, I suppose.

23
00:01:47,861 --> 00:01:50,535
Oh, no, thankee, sir.
I can't say she does.

24
00:01:50,621 --> 00:01:52,976
I don't. No, sir!

25
00:01:53,061 --> 00:01:55,291
We're doing pretty well now.

All of us excepting...

27
00:01:58,661 --> 00:02:02,734
Beg pardon, sir,
but you recall my son, the Biler,

christened Rob?

29
00:02:04,861 --> 00:02:08,456
Him as you were so good as
to make a Charitable Grinder.

00:02:08,541 --> 00:02:09,895
Well, man, what about him?

31
00:02:09,981 --> 00:02:13,975
Well, sir, I'm forced to say, sir,
he's gone wrong.

- Your son has gone wrong, has he?

33
00:02:16,381 --> 00:02:19,260
He's fell into bad company,
you see, gentlemen.

34
00:02:19,341 --> 00:02:21,651
Polly's dreadful down about it.

35
00:02:21,741 --> 00:02:24,381
The son of this man, Major,
whom I caused to be educated.

36
00:02:24,461 --> 00:02:26,452
- The usual return.
- Ah.

37
00:02:26,541 --> 00:02:29,294
If you'll pardon me, sir, I must go now.

38
00:02:29,381 --> 00:02:32,134
I have the honour of stoking you down.

39
00:02:32,221 --> 00:02:34,132
My best respects, Mr Dombey, sir.

40
00:02:35,581 --> 00:02:38,300
So, his boy has gone wrong.

41
00:02:39,181 --> 00:02:41,172
Take advice from plain old Joe, sir.

42
00:02:41,261 --> 00:02:43,980
Never educate that son of people.
It always fails.

43
00:02:44,061 --> 00:02:47,053
-Indeed.
- Oh, trust J Bagstock, sir. He knows.

44
00:02:47,861 --> 00:02:51,172
And now, Dombey,

Joey B is the man
for you to choose as a friend.

53

As you say, Major, my boy is no more.

54
00:03:22,061 --> 00:03:25,417
Come, sir, don't be thoughtful.
It's a bad habit.

55
00:03:25,501 --> 00:03:27,617
Old Joe wouldn't be as tough
as you see him

56
00:03:27,701 --> 00:03:29,499
if he had ever encouraged it.

57
00:03:29,581 --> 00:03:32,095
You're too great a man, Dombey,
ever to be thoughtful.

58
00:03:32,181 --> 00:03:35,060
In your position,
you're far above that kind of thing.

Where do you come from?
I can't bear you.

70
00:04:24,701 --> 00:04:27,170
Then suffer old Joe, ma'am,
to present a friend

You reside here, Mrs Granger?

No, we've been to a great many places.

Well, is Joey B a turnip
that he should mean the mother?

- Well?
- I am uneasy about Harriet.

Harriet who?

117
00:07:17,181 --> 00:07:20,139
What Harriet?
I know nobody of that name.

118
00:07:20,741 --> 00:07:24,860
She is not well, James.
And she has changed very much of late.

119
00:07:24,941 --> 00:07:26,534
She changed very much many years ago

120
00:07:26,621 --> 00:07:28,612
when she made her choice
between her two brothers.

121
00:07:28,701 --> 00:07:30,738
She may repent it,
but she must abide by it.

122
00:07:30,821 --> 00:07:32,653
She does not repent it, James.

123
00:07:32,741 --> 00:07:35,096
Although I am as sorry for her choice
as you are.

124
00:07:35,181 --> 00:07:37,252
As I am? As I?

125
00:07:37,341 --> 00:07:40,094
As sorry for her choice
as you are angry at it.

and she tried to plead for me with you,

128
00:07:47,741 --> 00:07:49,254
she was little more than a girl.

129
00:07:49,341 --> 00:07:52,299
Oh, perhaps she was foolish
to choose to devote herself to me

130
00:07:52,381 --> 00:07:54,895
but it was a long time ago, James.

131
00:07:54,981 --> 00:07:57,291
If only you would agree to see Harriet.

132
00:07:58,621 --> 00:08:02,137
See her? But there is no such person.

Well, see him and serve you right.

- What is this, Mr Perch?
- This boy.

He's been hanging around
the place all week.

141
00:08:25,221 --> 00:08:28,737
Whistling down to the sparrows in the court
and making them answer him.

- He says...
- One moment.

I think you have work to do.

00:08:36,981 --> 00:08:39,939
Well? And what does he say?

145
00:08:40,021 --> 00:08:42,774
He says that his mother was nurse
to Mr Dombey's late son

146
00:08:42,861 --> 00:08:44,932
and will we give him a chance
on that account.

00:08:45,541 --> 00:08:49,455
A chance, eh?
So he wants a chance.

148
00:08:50,501 --> 00:08:52,139
I brought him to you, Mr Carker,

149
00:08:52,221 --> 00:08:55,179
in case you wanted to
put him into custody as a nuisance.

150

Just so. Leave him with me, Mr Perch.

00:09:03,541 --> 00:09:05,930
has looked in on the matter of payment.

So you want a chance, do you?

155
00:09:14,181 --> 00:09:16,821
- Let me alone!
- You dog, I'll strangle you.

156
00:09:16,901 --> 00:09:18,812
I haven't done anything to you, sir!

157
00:09:18,901 --> 00:09:21,541
You scoundrel, what do you mean
by daring to come here?

158
00:09:21,621 --> 00:09:25,455
I didn't mean no harm, sir.
I'll never come again, sir!

159
00:09:26,301 --> 00:09:29,293
- I only wanted work.
- Work? You?

Ain't you the laziest scoundrel in London?

- Me, sir?
- Ain't you a thief?

162
00:09:33,901 --> 00:09:35,175
- No, sir!
- You are!

163
00:09:35,261 --> 00:09:38,572
- I never did such thing as thieve, sir.
- Ha!

164
00:09:38,661 --> 00:09:43,337
I know I've gone wrong, sir,
ever since I took to bird-catching.

165
00:09:43,421 --> 00:09:47,255
I'm sure a cove might think that
singing birds was innocent company.

166
00:09:47,341 --> 00:09:50,697
Nobody knows what harm is in 'em,
what they brings down to you.

167
00:09:51,741 --> 00:09:55,371
I ain't been home 20 times
since them birds got their will of me,

168

and that's ten months, sir!

Don't you have a parent to whip you?

00:09:59,221 --> 00:10:02,930
If you please, sir,
he's on the train as a stoker,

171
00:10:03,021 --> 00:10:04,773
so he ain't home much, neither.

172
00:10:04,861 --> 00:10:06,852
A nice young gentleman.

173
00:10:07,941 --> 00:10:10,581
There's hemp seed sown for you,
my fine fellow.

174
00:10:10,661 --> 00:10:13,175
My misfortune all began in wagging, sir.

175
00:10:13,261 --> 00:10:15,138
- In what?
- Wagging, sir.

176
00:10:15,221 --> 00:10:16,939
Wagging from school.

177
00:10:17,621 --> 00:10:20,215
Does that mean pretending to go there
and not going?

178
00:10:20,301 --> 00:10:25,091
Yes, sir. That's wagging.
I was in them Charitable Grinders.

179
00:10:25,181 --> 00:10:27,616
I was chiwied through the streets
when I went there

180
00:10:27,701 --> 00:10:29,692
and pounded when I got there.

181
00:10:29,781 --> 00:10:33,661
So I wagged and hid myself
and that began it.

182
00:10:34,701 --> 00:10:38,774
- And now you want a place, do you?
- I should be thankful to be tried, sir.

183
00:10:42,061 --> 00:10:44,052
Stand there.

184
00:10:46,061 --> 00:10:47,415
- Mr Gills.
- Yes?

185
00:10:47,501 --> 00:10:49,811
Mr Gills, will you step in, if you please?

186
00:10:52,061 --> 00:10:55,372
- Sit down, Mr Gills.
- Thank you, sir.

187
00:10:57,381 --> 00:11:00,021
You continue to enjoy your health, I hope.

188
00:11:00,101 --> 00:11:03,253
Nothing ails me in body but old age.

189
00:11:03,341 --> 00:11:08,700
I've come to make a payment on the loan
that Mr Dombey arranged for me. 25, sir.

190
00:11:08,781 --> 00:11:12,137
You are as punctual and exact
as one of your own chronometers, Mr Gills.

191
00:11:12,221 --> 00:11:14,212
Quite right.

192
00:11:14,301 --> 00:11:20,058
Sir, the Son And Heir,
the ship my boy Wally sailed on,

193
00:11:20,141 --> 00:11:21,973
she has not been spoken yet?

194
00:11:22,061 --> 00:11:25,133
The Son And Heir has not been spoken yet.

195
00:11:26,141 --> 00:11:28,257
There seems to have been
tempestuous weather

196
00:11:28,341 --> 00:11:30,537
and she has probably been
driven off her course.

197
00:11:30,621 --> 00:11:34,012
- She's safe, I trust in Heaven?
- As I do, Mr Gills.

198
00:11:35,581 --> 00:11:37,060
As I do.

199
00:11:38,941 --> 00:11:42,138
Mr Gills, you must miss your nephew
very much.

200
00:11:42,221 --> 00:11:43,814
I do, sir.

201
00:11:43,901 --> 00:11:46,620
It would be company to you
to have a young fellow in your shop

202
00:11:46,701 --> 00:11:50,217
and it would be obliging me if you would
give one house-room for the present.

203
00:11:50,301 --> 00:11:52,133
That's the lad.

204
00:11:53,821 --> 00:11:55,619
There's not much business doing there,

205
00:11:55,701 --> 00:11:58,773
but you can make him clean the place out,
polish up the instruments.

206
00:11:58,861 --> 00:12:01,979
Drudge, Mr Gills.
Will you give him house-room?

207
00:12:02,061 --> 00:12:06,419
I'm sure I shall be glad to oblige
the house of Dombey in any way I can, sir.

208
00:12:06,501 --> 00:12:09,971
<i>- I'll</i> send him round tomorrow morning.
- The lad would be welcome, sir...

209
00:12:10,061 --> 00:12:13,213
Take care you look sharply after him
and report his behaviour to me.

210
00:12:13,301 --> 00:12:16,100
- Sir...
- Goodbye, Mr Gills. Much obliged to you.

211
00:12:19,461 --> 00:12:21,532
Now you, boy. What is your name?

212
00:12:21,621 --> 00:12:23,612
Toodle, sir. Rob Toodle.

213
00:12:23,701 --> 00:12:25,374
Rob the Biler, they calls me.

214
00:12:25,461 --> 00:12:28,180
If you ever deceive me or play tricks on me,

215
00:12:28,261 --> 00:12:31,060
you had better have drowned yourself
before you came here.

216
00:12:33,181 --> 00:12:35,570
Now, I have a great interest
in that old gentleman

217
00:12:35,661 --> 00:12:38,096
and in sewing him you serve me.
Do you understand?

218
00:12:38,181 --> 00:12:41,253
- Yes, sir!
- I want to know everything about him.

219
00:12:41,341 --> 00:12:43,651
I want to know how he goes on
from day to day.

220
00:12:44,541 --> 00:12:47,340
I want especially to know
who comes to see him.

221
00:12:48,141 --> 00:12:49,859
There is a young lady who may visit him.

222
00:12:49,941 --> 00:12:52,535
I want particularly
to know everything about her.

223
00:12:52,621 --> 00:12:55,500
<i>- I'll</i> take care, sir.
- And take care.

224
00:12:55,581 --> 00:12:59,256
Take care you talk about affairs of mine
to nobody but me.

225
00:12:59,341 --> 00:13:01,173
Nobody in the world, sir!

226
00:13:01,261 --> 00:13:03,252
Neither there nor anywhere else.

227
00:13:03,661 --> 00:13:06,380
And remember, the young lady.

228
00:13:10,501 --> 00:13:13,015
I want to know all about her.

229
00:13:22,821 --> 00:13:24,812
Better late than never, Miss Floy.

230
00:13:24,901 --> 00:13:28,451
And I do say that even a visit to them
old Skettleses will be a godsend.

231
00:13:28,541 --> 00:13:31,932
Susan! It's good of Sir Barnet
and Lady Skettles

232
00:13:32,021 --> 00:13:34,297
to repeat their invitation so kindly.

233
00:13:35,021 --> 00:13:37,331
And yet...l am not anxious to go to them.

234
00:13:37,421 --> 00:13:40,857
Least of all in vacation time when there are
young people staying with them.

235
00:13:40,941 --> 00:13:43,330
- You ain't refusing, Miss Floy?
- No.

236
00:13:43,861 --> 00:13:46,501
However I may feel, it will be right to go.

237
00:13:46,581 --> 00:13:49,016
- I have said yes.
- Praise be for that.

238
00:13:49,101 --> 00:13:52,776
It ain't good for you to sit alone in this
house. You ought to go out more and...

239
00:13:52,861 --> 00:13:54,295
-(DOORBELL JANGLES)
- Susan.

240
00:13:54,381 --> 00:13:58,579
That may be Mr Perch come with letters.
There may be one from Papa.

241
00:13:58,661 --> 00:14:01,619
For you, miss?
Well, I'll go and see.

242
00:14:02,701 --> 00:14:04,931
- Sir.
- Hm?

243
00:14:05,021 --> 00:14:07,012
Huh? Good morning.

244
00:14:07,901 --> 00:14:09,653
Good morning, sir.

245
00:14:14,341 --> 00:14:17,459
For Mr Dombey.
For Miss Dombey.

246
00:14:18,941 --> 00:14:23,333
Oh, I erm...l beg your pardon.
ls the young woman at home?

247
00:14:23,421 --> 00:14:26,174
- The young woman, sir?
- Miss Nipper.

248
00:14:27,861 --> 00:14:29,852
Oh. Oh, I see she is.

249
00:14:29,941 --> 00:14:31,932
Oh, yes, sir.

250
00:14:34,421 --> 00:14:36,412
(SHE LAUGHS)

251
00:14:37,621 --> 00:14:40,579
- How do you do?
- I'm well, thank you, Mr Toots.

252
00:14:42,661 --> 00:14:45,619
H... How is...Diogenes going on?

253
00:14:45,701 --> 00:14:48,932
Oh. Miss Floy is fonder of him every day.

254
00:14:49,701 --> 00:14:51,578
Miss Florence is quite well, sir.

255
00:14:51,661 --> 00:14:54,414
Oh? It's of no consequence.

256
00:14:55,261 --> 00:14:58,299
Perhaps you'd like to walk
into the drawing room, sir.

257
00:14:59,381 --> 00:15:01,133
I think perhaps I will come in.

258
00:15:01,221 --> 00:15:03,212
I say, Miss Nipper...

259
00:15:04,581 --> 00:15:06,413
Yes?

260
00:15:06,501 --> 00:15:08,492
(HE GIGGLES)

261
00:15:09,821 --> 00:15:12,939
Oh! Go along with you!
I'll tear your eyes out!

262
00:15:13,021 --> 00:15:14,614
(GIGGLES) Just another?

263
00:15:14,701 --> 00:15:17,454
Go along with you!
Innocents like you, too!

264
00:15:17,541 --> 00:15:20,340
- Who'll begin next? Go along, sir!
-(DOG BARKING)

265
00:15:20,421 --> 00:15:22,412
-(SHE LAUGHS)
-om om

266
00:15:24,301 --> 00:15:27,419
-(BARKING CONTINUES)
- No, Diogenes, no!

267
00:15:27,501 --> 00:15:30,334
-(LAUGHING)
- It's of no consequence!

268
00:15:36,021 --> 00:15:38,012
The day's letters, miss.

269
00:15:41,821 --> 00:15:45,018
Well, Susan?
ls there a letter from Papa?

270
00:15:45,821 --> 00:15:47,539
No, miss.

271
00:15:47,621 --> 00:15:51,137
Oh, that Perch.
That wet curl of a man.

272
00:15:51,221 --> 00:15:55,294
If I hadn't more manliness than him,
I'd never take pride in my hair again

273
00:15:55,381 --> 00:15:57,019
but turn it up behind my ears

274
00:15:57,101 --> 00:16:00,059
and wear coarse caps
without a bit of a border

275
00:16:00,141 --> 00:16:02,451
until death released me
from my insignificance.

276
00:16:02,541 --> 00:16:04,930
I may not be an Amazon, Miss Floy,

277
00:16:05,021 --> 00:16:07,740
and wouldn't so demean myself
by such disfigurements,

278
00:16:07,821 --> 00:16:10,017
but I'm not a giver-up, I hope.

279
00:16:10,101 --> 00:16:12,775
Why? What does Mr Perch give up?

280
00:16:13,781 --> 00:16:15,499
Nothing, miss.

281
00:16:15,581 --> 00:16:18,812
Oh, he puts me out of patience, that's all.

282
00:16:18,901 --> 00:16:22,417
But though I can bear a great deal,
I am not a camel.

283
00:16:22,501 --> 00:16:24,572
Neither am I a dromedary, neither.

284
00:16:24,661 --> 00:16:26,698
What did Mr Perch say to you?

285
00:16:26,781 --> 00:16:29,660
As if I wouldn't tell you
anything and everything.

286
00:16:30,581 --> 00:16:32,572
Is there news of Walter?

287
00:16:33,581 --> 00:16:35,174
Susan, tell me, please.

288
00:16:35,261 --> 00:16:37,172
<i>Oh, dear , Miss Hey.</i>

289
00:16:37,261 --> 00:16:41,175
I didn't want to worry you,
but...he told me yesterday

290
00:16:41,261 --> 00:16:43,650
there begins to be general talk
about the ship

291
00:16:43,741 --> 00:16:47,052
and that they'd never had a ship on
that voyage half so long unheard of.

292
00:16:48,261 --> 00:16:50,775
- Susan...
- But pay no heed.

293
00:16:50,861 --> 00:16:54,138
What does a feeble creature such as that
know of anything?

294
00:16:55,101 --> 00:16:57,092
We must go and visit Walter's uncle.

295
00:16:58,061 --> 00:17:02,259
We must go there now. Directly.

296
00:17:02,341 --> 00:17:04,901
You can tell me to be of good head, Ned,

297
00:17:04,981 --> 00:17:11,011
but whenever I'm alone, my thoughts keep
turning to storms and shipwrecks. I'm...

298
00:17:11,101 --> 00:17:14,651
-(URGENT KNOCKING)
- Belay. There's somebody coming aboard.

299
00:17:18,061 --> 00:17:20,701
-(KNOCKING CONTINUES)
-(BABY CRYING)

300
00:17:26,741 --> 00:17:29,415
- Well, miss?
- I beg your pardon, ma'am,

301
00:17:29,501 --> 00:17:31,856
-but is this Captain Cuttle's house?
- No.

302
00:17:31,941 --> 00:17:34,740
- Not No.9?
- Who said it wasn't No.9?

303
00:17:36,781 --> 00:17:38,533
What do you mean by that, ma'am?

304
00:17:38,621 --> 00:17:41,261
And I beg to enquire if you know
who you're talking to!

305
00:17:41,341 --> 00:17:43,651
Hush, Susan.
Perhaps you can have the goodness

306
00:17:43,741 --> 00:17:46,460
to tell us where Captain Cuttle lives,
if he don't live here?

307
00:17:46,541 --> 00:17:49,420
Who says he don't live here?
I said it wasn't his house.

308
00:17:49,501 --> 00:17:53,210
And it ain't his house.
And God forbid it ever should be his house!

309
00:17:53,301 --> 00:17:55,577
Cos he don't deserve to have a house!

310
00:17:55,661 --> 00:17:59,495
It's my house and when I let the upper floor
to Captain Cuttle,

311
00:17:59,581 --> 00:18:02,221
oh, I do a thankless thing!

312
00:18:02,301 --> 00:18:04,656
And cast pearls before swine!

313
00:18:04,741 --> 00:18:06,334
CUTTLE: Steady below!

314
00:18:06,421 --> 00:18:11,450
(MOCKING LAUGHTER) Since you want
Captain Cuttle, there he is now.

315

(SIGHS)

317
00:18:26,461 --> 00:18:28,452
- Captain Cuttle?
- Shh!

318
00:18:30,141 --> 00:18:32,132
You're amazed to see us, I'm sure.

319
00:18:32,221 --> 00:18:34,815
Stand by. Stand by.

320
00:18:34,901 --> 00:18:37,211
-(LAUGHS)
- Mr Gills,

321
00:18:37,301 --> 00:18:40,214
we called at your shop and the boy there
told us you'd come here.

322
00:18:40,301 --> 00:18:44,818
A boy. Afine boy. Mrs Richards' eldest
and the worrit of her life.

323
00:18:44,901 --> 00:18:48,053
I couldn't rest without coming to ask
what you think of Walter.

324
00:18:48,141 --> 00:18:51,577
-Is there some news of him?
- No news. Nothing.

325
00:18:52,621 --> 00:18:55,773
Head's delight.
I, for one, am not afeared.

326
00:18:55,861 --> 00:18:59,297
There's been uncommon bad weather
in them latitudes, there's no denying,

327
00:18:59,381 --> 00:19:01,850
but the ship's a good ship
and the lad's a good lad

328
00:19:01,941 --> 00:19:05,377
and it ain't easy, thank the Lord,
to break up heads of oak -

329
00:19:05,461 --> 00:19:07,338
whether they be brigs or bosoms.

330
00:19:07,421 --> 00:19:10,812
- No, I ain't afeared a bit as yet.
- As yet?

331
00:19:10,901 --> 00:19:14,417
And afore I begin to be, Walter will have
wrote home from some pod or another

332
00:19:14,501 --> 00:19:16,697
and made everything taut and shipshape.

333
00:19:16,781 --> 00:19:18,931
And you be of good cheer, Sol Gills.

334
00:19:19,021 --> 00:19:21,661
After I've returned the ladies to their home,

335
00:19:21,741 --> 00:19:25,416
I'll come back here and take you in tow
for the rest of this blessed day.

336
00:19:25,501 --> 00:19:27,936
You'll stay here along with me
and have your dinner.

337
00:19:28,021 --> 00:19:31,093
- Come, my head's delight.
- Not today, Ned.

338
00:19:31,181 --> 00:19:33,491
- Not today.
- Why not?

339
00:19:33,581 --> 00:19:38,018
I've so much to do, to think of.
To arrange.

340
00:19:38,101 --> 00:19:40,570
- Well, tomorrow, then.
- Eh?

341
00:19:40,661 --> 00:19:42,140
Come tomorrow!

342
00:19:42,861 --> 00:19:45,137
Aye, tomorrow!

343
00:19:45,221 --> 00:19:48,100
Think of me tomorrow.
Say tomorrow.

344
00:19:56,101 --> 00:19:57,660
Ahoy!

345
00:19:58,381 --> 00:20:00,179
What's his hurry?

346
00:20:03,261 --> 00:20:07,892
(SIGHS HAPPILY)
Why are we not more natural?

347
00:20:07,981 --> 00:20:12,054
- Hm?
- With all those yearnings and gushings

348
00:20:12,141 --> 00:20:16,658
and impulsive throbbings
that are implanted in our heads.

349
00:20:16,741 --> 00:20:19,130
And which are so very charming.

350
00:20:19,221 --> 00:20:21,895
Why are we not more natural?
(CHUCKLES)

351
00:20:21,981 --> 00:20:24,257
Oh, we couldn't afford it, ma'am.

352
00:20:24,341 --> 00:20:28,221
Unless the world was peopled with JBs -
rough and tough old Joes, ma'am -

353
00:20:28,301 --> 00:20:29,735
it wouldn't do.

354
00:20:29,821 --> 00:20:32,176
Oh, you naughty infidel, be mute!

355
00:20:33,341 --> 00:20:34,820
Diamonds.

356
00:20:34,901 --> 00:20:38,531
Cleopatra commands
and her Antony Bagstock obeys.

357
00:20:38,621 --> 00:20:40,294
-(CHUCKLES)
- Clubs.

358
00:20:40,381 --> 00:20:43,373
(GROANS) The man has no sensitiveness.

359
00:20:44,461 --> 00:20:46,657
There's not much company here,
it would seem.

360
00:20:46,741 --> 00:20:49,415
- I believe not. We see none.
- Well, really!

361
00:20:49,501 --> 00:20:53,574
There are no people here just now
with whom we would care to associate?

362
00:20:53,661 --> 00:20:56,096
-40.
- They are not natural enough.

363
00:20:56,781 --> 00:21:00,900
(GIGGLES)
My dearest Edith rallies me, you see.

364
00:21:00,981 --> 00:21:03,291
Wicked one.

365
00:21:03,381 --> 00:21:05,657
You have been here before,
if I am not mistaken.

366
00:21:05,741 --> 00:21:09,097
Several times.
I think we have been everywhere.

367
00:21:09,181 --> 00:21:12,651
BAG-STOCK: 31.
SKEVVTON: And what sequence, Major?

368
00:21:12,741 --> 00:21:16,894
- A run of six, I'm afraid, ma'am.
- Oh, I am desolate.

369
00:21:17,901 --> 00:21:19,892
Are these yours?

370
00:21:19,981 --> 00:21:21,972
Yes.

371
00:21:28,901 --> 00:21:30,892
They are excellent.

372
00:21:34,861 --> 00:21:37,694
- And do you play?
- Yes.

373
00:21:37,781 --> 00:21:40,136
- And sing?
- Yes.

374
00:21:40,941 --> 00:21:43,137
You have many resources
against weariness.

375
00:21:44,341 --> 00:21:47,538
Whatever their efficiency may be,
you know them all now.

376
00:21:47,621 --> 00:21:51,694
- I have no more.
- May I hope to prove them all?

377
00:21:51,781 --> 00:21:54,660
Most certainly.
If you desire it.

378
00:21:57,461 --> 00:22:01,659
Oh! We are going to have some music,
Mr Dombey, I hope?

379
00:22:01,741 --> 00:22:04,540
Mrs Granger has been kind enough
to promise so.

380
00:22:06,861 --> 00:22:08,454
How nice!

381
00:22:09,581 --> 00:22:11,891
Do You Propose. Major?

382
00:22:11,981 --> 00:22:14,211
Oh, no, ma'am. Couldn't do it.

383
00:22:14,301 --> 00:22:18,579
Oh. You're a barbarous being,
and my hand's destroyed.

384
00:22:20,821 --> 00:22:23,734
- You're fond of music, Mr Dombey?
-(HARP BEING PLUCKED)

385
00:22:23,821 --> 00:22:27,860
- Eminently so.
- Yes, it is very nice.

386
00:22:27,941 --> 00:22:30,535
There is so much head to it.

387
00:22:33,901 --> 00:22:36,780
Shall we marry him to Edith Granger,
ma'am?

388
00:22:36,861 --> 00:22:38,852
- Major!
- Shall we?

389
00:22:38,941 --> 00:22:42,571
Mysterious creature.
How can we marry them?

390
00:22:42,661 --> 00:22:45,175
Dombey, ma'am, he's a great catch.

391
00:22:45,261 --> 00:22:47,821
Oh, Major, you shock me.

392
00:22:48,981 --> 00:22:51,814
And Dombey, ma'am, is in earnest.

393
00:22:51,901 --> 00:22:54,780
Joseph says it, Bagstock knows it.

394
00:22:54,861 --> 00:22:57,137
JB keeps him to the mark. (CHUCKLES)

395
00:22:57,221 --> 00:22:59,815
- Dear Major...
- Leave Dombey to himself, ma'am.

396
00:22:59,901 --> 00:23:05,897
Dombey is safe. Do as you have done,
do no more and trust to JB for the end.

397
00:23:05,981 --> 00:23:09,053
Do you really think so, my dear Major?

398
00:23:09,141 --> 00:23:14,261
I know it, ma'am. Cleopatra the peerless
and her Antony Bagstock

399
00:23:14,341 --> 00:23:16,218
will often speak of this triumphantly

400
00:23:16,301 --> 00:23:21,171
while sharing the wealth and elegance
of Edith Dombey's establishment.

401
00:23:22,541 --> 00:23:24,532
Trust to JB, ma'am.
