172
00:10:28,021 --> 00:10:32,174
- Yeah, it's our parrot, this is.
- Oh, Mr Carker's parrot.

173
00:10:32,261 --> 00:10:34,650
Will you hold your tongue, Mrs Brown?

174
00:10:34,741 --> 00:10:36,573
What do you want
to go naming names for?

175
00:10:36,661 --> 00:10:38,652
(CHUCKLES)

176
00:10:39,141 --> 00:10:44,011
Drink a drop of this, Robbie...to comfort you.

177
00:10:44,701 --> 00:10:47,773
- There.
- Well, thank you, Mrs Brown.

178
00:10:47,861 --> 00:10:50,501
'Ere's your 'ealth and long may you...

179
00:10:51,261 --> 00:10:53,138
...et cetera.

180
00:10:55,341 --> 00:11:00,256
And 'ere's 'er 'ealth and wishing 'er
the same, and many of 'em.

181
00:11:01,661 --> 00:11:03,777
(COUGHS WHEEZILY)

182
00:11:03,861 --> 00:11:06,011
I got to take care of this parrot.

183
00:11:06,101 --> 00:11:10,015
Certain things being sold
and a certain establishment broke up.

184
00:11:11,541 --> 00:11:15,455
And I wish you'd attend to 'er for a week
or so and give 'er lodging.

185
00:11:15,541 --> 00:11:19,057
Aye, I'll look after it
seeing as who it belongs to.

186
00:11:19,141 --> 00:11:21,735
Are you out of your place now, Rob?

187
00:11:21,821 --> 00:11:23,050
Never you mind.

188
00:11:23,141 --> 00:11:25,815
Getting board wages perhaps, eh?

189
00:11:25,901 --> 00:11:28,290
Pretty Polly!

190
00:11:28,381 --> 00:11:32,261
I wonder Master didn't take you with him.

191
00:11:32,341 --> 00:11:34,298
Well, he didn't, so never you mind.

192
00:11:34,381 --> 00:11:36,770
- Mrs Brown! Let go, will ya?
-(ALICE LAUGHS)

193
00:11:36,861 --> 00:11:39,740
- What are you doing of?
- That's right, Mother, tear him to pieces.

194
00:11:39,821 --> 00:11:43,860
What 'ave I been and done?
What am I to be torn to pieces for?

195
00:11:43,941 --> 00:11:46,410
Where's your female tenderness?

196
00:11:46,501 --> 00:11:48,617
You thankless dog.

197
00:11:48,701 --> 00:11:52,660
To cut me off with shod answers
and sulky words,

198
00:11:52,741 --> 00:11:58,134
because I happen to be curious to have
a bit of gossip about Master and the lady?

199
00:11:58,221 --> 00:12:00,212
Oh, go away!

200
00:12:01,301 --> 00:12:05,772
And I'll slip those after you
that'll cling to you like leeches

201
00:12:05,861 --> 00:12:09,456
and slink behind you like foxes.

202
00:12:09,541 --> 00:12:11,100
Come on, Mother. Try him once more.

203
00:12:11,181 --> 00:12:14,651
And if you fall out with him again,
ruin him if you like and have done with him.

204
00:12:16,301 --> 00:12:18,372
How is Master, Rob?

205
00:12:18,461 --> 00:12:20,418
He's pretty well, thankee.

206
00:12:20,501 --> 00:12:22,299
Gone abroad, eh?

207
00:12:22,381 --> 00:12:25,817
Oh, Mrs Brown, couldn't you gossip
with a cove about anything else?

208
00:12:25,901 --> 00:12:28,780
- What!
- Yes! I believe he's abroad.

209
00:12:30,341 --> 00:12:32,901
Did you ever see the lady, Robbie?

210
00:12:32,981 --> 00:12:35,860
Hm? What lady?

211
00:12:35,941 --> 00:12:38,694
The lady. Mrs Dombey.

212
00:12:38,781 --> 00:12:41,421
Yes, I believe I see her once.

213
00:12:41,501 --> 00:12:44,175
Yes, the night she went away, Robbie, eh?

214
00:12:44,261 --> 00:12:45,854
Yes.

215
00:12:45,941 --> 00:12:48,330
Where did they go that night?

216
00:12:50,541 --> 00:12:52,339
Are you dumb?

217
00:12:52,421 --> 00:12:54,298
Where did they go?

218
00:12:54,381 --> 00:12:57,499
They didn't go nowhere.
Not together, I mean.

219
00:12:57,581 --> 00:12:59,094
They went different ways.

220
00:12:59,181 --> 00:13:01,297
To meet at an appointed place?

221
00:13:02,301 --> 00:13:04,770
Well, if they weren't a-gonna
meet somewhere,

222
00:13:04,861 --> 00:13:07,580
I s'pose they might as well
have stayed at home. (GUFFAWS)

223
00:13:07,661 --> 00:13:09,652
Well, Rob, well?

224
00:13:09,741 --> 00:13:12,210
She and me went down to Southampton.

225
00:13:12,301 --> 00:13:15,180
She went away in a packet by 'erself,

226
00:13:15,261 --> 00:13:20,131
me pretending to be a servant
and seeing 'er safe aboard. (GUFFAWS)

227
00:13:21,101 --> 00:13:23,854
Now are you contented, Mrs Brown?

228
00:13:23,941 --> 00:13:27,059
No, Rob. Not yet.

229
00:13:27,141 --> 00:13:32,659
Where did Master and the lady
appoint to meet?

230
00:13:33,221 --> 00:13:36,259
Come on, lad. I want to know.

231
00:13:37,221 --> 00:13:41,658
How can I pronounce the name
of foreign places, Mrs Brown?

232
00:13:42,141 --> 00:13:44,860
Anyway, I've never heard it said.

233
00:13:44,941 --> 00:13:49,219
No, but you've seen it written.
And you can spell it, can't you?

234
00:13:49,981 --> 00:13:55,693
If I write it, you won't ask me any more,
will you, Mrs Brown?

235
00:13:57,781 --> 00:14:01,331
Not another word, Rob. Not a word.

236
00:14:01,421 --> 00:14:03,890
Well, then, the way was this.

237
00:14:05,581 --> 00:14:09,017
- D.
- Will you hold your tongue, Mrs Brown?

238
00:14:09,101 --> 00:14:11,012
I won't have it read out!

239
00:14:11,101 --> 00:14:14,492
Write large, Rob. My eyes are not good.

240
00:14:14,581 --> 00:14:16,413
Go on, go on!

241
00:14:21,261 --> 00:14:25,494
There. Now I hope you're contented.

242
00:14:32,381 --> 00:14:34,497
(BURPS)

243
00:14:52,781 --> 00:14:54,772
Wait!

244
00:14:58,821 --> 00:15:00,812
What will he do, Ally?

245
00:15:00,901 --> 00:15:02,539
Mischief?

246
00:15:03,221 --> 00:15:05,292
Murder.

247
00:15:06,101 --> 00:15:07,694
(CHUCKLES)

248
00:15:07,781 --> 00:15:10,534
Now, cheer up, my lady lass,
and try and eat a deal.

249
00:15:10,621 --> 00:15:14,057
You're as safe here as if you were
at the top of St Paul's Cathedral

250
00:15:14,141 --> 00:15:16,337
with the ladder cast off. (LAUGHS)

251
00:15:16,421 --> 00:15:21,894
Stand by, dearie. Liver wing it is,
sausage it is, and potato.

252
00:15:21,981 --> 00:15:23,733
And... (CHUCKLES)

253
00:15:23,821 --> 00:15:26,256
...and sauce it is.

254
00:15:29,381 --> 00:15:31,338
Try and pick a bit.

255
00:15:35,181 --> 00:15:38,139
If Walter was 'ere...

256
00:15:38,221 --> 00:15:40,451
But he's drownded, ain't he?

257
00:15:41,381 --> 00:15:42,940
Yes, Captain Cuttle.

258
00:15:43,021 --> 00:15:47,015
He was older than you but you was like
two children together at first, weren't 'ee?

259
00:15:48,341 --> 00:15:51,857
- Yes.
- And now Walter's drownded, ain't he?

260
00:15:52,821 --> 00:15:54,380
Aye .

261
00:15:59,941 --> 00:16:02,251
You was never at sea, my diamond?

262
00:16:02,341 --> 00:16:03,661
No.

263
00:16:03,741 --> 00:16:06,210
Oh, it's an almighty element, my pretty.

264
00:16:06,301 --> 00:16:10,295
Think on it when the winds is roaring,
the waves is a-rolling

265
00:16:10,381 --> 00:16:14,773
and the stormy nights is so pitch dark
as you can't see a hand afore ye.

266
00:16:14,861 --> 00:16:17,421
- Were you ever in a dreadful storm?
- Aye, aye.

267
00:16:17,501 --> 00:16:18,935
I've seen my share of bad weather

268
00:16:19,021 --> 00:16:21,171
but it ain't of myself I was meaning to speak,

269
00:16:21,261 --> 00:16:24,572
but of our dear boy Walter,
as was drownded.

270
00:16:25,701 --> 00:16:28,659
I know a story as was told to me once.

271
00:16:30,661 --> 00:16:33,255
There's nothing there, my own,
don't you look there.

272
00:16:33,341 --> 00:16:38,017
The story was about a ship that sailed
out of the Port of London outward bound.

273
00:16:38,101 --> 00:16:41,139
That there unfortunate ship
met with a hurricane

274
00:16:41,221 --> 00:16:44,851
such as not the stoutest vessel
ever launched could live in.

275
00:16:46,101 --> 00:16:49,935
Every black spot in every mountain 0' water
that rode over 'er

276
00:16:50,021 --> 00:16:53,093
was a bit of the ship's life or a living man.

277
00:16:53,181 --> 00:16:55,536
So, she broke to pieces.

278
00:16:55,621 --> 00:16:59,774
And no grass would ever grow on
the graves of them that manned that ship.

279
00:16:59,861 --> 00:17:01,260
Were they all lost?

280
00:17:01,341 --> 00:17:06,017
Three of 'em, the second mate
and two seamen, they was left alive.

281
00:17:06,861 --> 00:17:10,252
Of all the beating hearts
that went aboard that ship,

282
00:17:10,341 --> 00:17:12,378
they was the only living creatures

283
00:17:12,461 --> 00:17:16,614
lashed to a fragment of the wreck
and drifting on the stormy sea.

284
00:17:16,701 --> 00:17:17,975
Were they saved?

285
00:17:18,061 --> 00:17:19,938
Days and nights they drifted

286
00:17:20,021 --> 00:17:24,379
until a sail bore down upon 'em
and they was took aboard.

287
00:17:25,021 --> 00:17:28,901
Two living, one dead.

288
00:17:28,981 --> 00:17:32,053
The ship took 'em on a long voyage
clear across the chad,

289
00:17:32,141 --> 00:17:35,975
until after a year
they was come back home again.

290
00:17:36,061 --> 00:17:39,019
And one of them two as was saved

291
00:17:39,101 --> 00:17:43,572
went cautious to his own door
to take an observation,

292
00:17:43,661 --> 00:17:46,938
knowing his friends
would think him drownded.

293
00:17:47,021 --> 00:17:50,377
But he sheered off at the...

294
00:17:50,461 --> 00:17:53,817
unexpected barking of a dog.

295
00:17:55,421 --> 00:17:59,176
Captain Cuttle!
Are you saying that Walter...?

296
00:18:04,381 --> 00:18:05,655
Walter!

297
00:18:10,461 --> 00:18:12,134
(CRIES OUT)

298
00:18:13,341 --> 00:18:15,537
Stand by. (CHUCKLES)

299
00:18:15,621 --> 00:18:17,373
Stand by.

300
00:18:19,421 --> 00:18:24,211
Gone away, Mrs Pipchin? At this time,
Mr Dombey has gone away?

301
00:18:24,301 --> 00:18:25,700
Since last night, Miss Tox.

302
00:18:25,781 --> 00:18:28,739
Him and that Major Bagstock
took the night coach to Dover.

303
00:18:28,821 --> 00:18:31,335
Oh. What an extraordinary thing to do.

304
00:18:31,421 --> 00:18:35,972
Oh, perhaps poor Mr Dombey
is so deranged by grief

305
00:18:36,061 --> 00:18:38,780
as to be unaccountable for his behaviour.

306
00:18:38,861 --> 00:18:40,852
Oh, that wife of his!

307
00:18:41,301 --> 00:18:43,178
That. . .that upstart woman.

308
00:18:43,261 --> 00:18:46,333
To tell you my mind, Miss Tox,
I think it's good riddance.

309
00:18:46,421 --> 00:18:48,378
She, with her brazen face.

310
00:18:48,461 --> 00:18:50,179
Oh, brazen, indeed.

311
00:18:50,261 --> 00:18:52,457
You may well say brazen, Mrs Pipchin.

312
00:18:52,541 --> 00:18:53,861
Oh! To leave him.

313
00:18:53,941 --> 00:18:56,251
And such a noble figure of a man.

314
00:18:56,341 --> 00:18:59,220
- Huh! I don't know about noble, I'm sure.
- Ohhh!

315
00:18:59,301 --> 00:19:01,941
When people meet with trials,
they must learn to bear them.

316
00:19:02,021 --> 00:19:04,217
Hoity toity, I've had enough to bear
in my time.

317
00:19:04,301 --> 00:19:07,259
And what a fuss there is.
She's gone, and well got rid of.

318
00:19:07,341 --> 00:19:09,218
And nobody wants her back, I should think.

319
00:19:09,301 --> 00:19:10,974
Oh, no. Indeed not.

320
00:19:11,061 --> 00:19:13,098
I, er... (COUGHS)

321
00:19:13,181 --> 00:19:16,173
...I took what I'm sure
is the very great liberty

322
00:19:16,261 --> 00:19:20,300
of coming here and offering
poor Mr Dombey my condolences.

323
00:19:20,381 --> 00:19:23,260
Since he is not at home,
perhaps I might see dear Florence.

324
00:19:23,341 --> 00:19:25,378
- Gone.
- Such a sweet child, so...

325
00:19:26,061 --> 00:19:27,972
Did you say gone, Mrs Pipchin?

326
00:19:28,061 --> 00:19:30,052
Gone more than this week or so.

327
00:19:30,141 --> 00:19:33,213
And nobody knows where
or thought to inquire.

328
00:19:33,301 --> 00:19:35,690
The house is empty but for the servants.

329
00:19:35,781 --> 00:19:39,411
Mr Dombey, that wife of his,
and Miss Florence,

330
00:19:39,501 --> 00:19:43,017
-they've all gone.
- Ohhh.

331
00:19:46,061 --> 00:19:47,574
Now, Captain Cuttle...

332
00:19:48,381 --> 00:19:50,054
...I think we should assert ourselves

333
00:19:50,141 --> 00:19:53,293
to find someone who would be
a proper attendant to Miss Dombey.

334
00:19:54,501 --> 00:19:56,139
What has become of Susan?

335
00:19:56,221 --> 00:20:00,818
I asked the lady lass but she ain't 'eard
since she was sent away against her will.

336
00:20:00,901 --> 00:20:03,461
The only help about at the time
was a certain Mr Toots...

337
00:20:03,541 --> 00:20:05,532
Captain?

338
00:20:06,061 --> 00:20:09,019
Captain Cuttle, I am in a state
bordering upon distraction.

339
00:20:09,101 --> 00:20:10,978
Why, he's here!

340
00:20:11,061 --> 00:20:12,938
Oh, I...l do beg your pardon, sir,

341
00:20:13,021 --> 00:20:16,776
but I am at present in that state
that my brain's going off, if not gone.

342
00:20:16,861 --> 00:20:19,580
My brother, you was the man
we was on the lookout for.

343
00:20:19,661 --> 00:20:22,653
Oh, Captain, what a lookout that must be
of which I am the object.

344
00:20:22,741 --> 00:20:25,574
I haven't dared to shave,
my clothes have not been brushed...

345
00:20:25,661 --> 00:20:29,211
See 'ere, brother, this 'ere's
old Sol Gills' nephew, Walter.

346
00:20:29,301 --> 00:20:31,531
Him as was supposed
to have perished at sea.

347
00:20:31,621 --> 00:20:33,134
Oh, good gracious me.

348
00:20:33,221 --> 00:20:35,656
Oh, what a complication of misery.

349
00:20:35,901 --> 00:20:38,495
How do you do? I'm afraid
you must have got very wet.

350
00:20:39,141 --> 00:20:41,257
Captain, will you allow me a word
in the shop?

351
00:20:41,341 --> 00:20:42,536
Stand by.

352
00:20:43,261 --> 00:20:46,856
That is who you spoke of. You said he and
Miss Dombey were made for each other.

353
00:20:46,941 --> 00:20:48,420
Aye, that's right, me lad.

354
00:20:48,501 --> 00:20:51,937
Oh. At this time of all others.
A hated rival.

355
00:20:52,941 --> 00:20:54,978
At least, he ain't a hated rival.

356
00:20:55,461 --> 00:20:57,611
What should I hate him for? Oh!

357
00:21:00,381 --> 00:21:02,657
How do you do?
I hope you didn't take any cold.

358
00:21:02,741 --> 00:21:04,778
Upon my word and honour,
I am glad to see you.

359
00:21:04,861 --> 00:21:07,979
Thank you heartily, sir. I couldn't desire
a more generous welcome.

360
00:21:08,061 --> 00:21:10,621
Oh. Huh! Couldn't you though?

361
00:21:11,461 --> 00:21:14,340
- Captain Cuttle, and Lieutenant Walters...
- My name is...

362
00:21:14,421 --> 00:21:16,776
...are you both aware
of the dreadful circumstances

363
00:21:16,861 --> 00:21:19,011
that have been happening
at Mr Dombey's house?

364
00:21:19,101 --> 00:21:21,570
And that Miss Dombey herself
has left her father.

365
00:21:21,661 --> 00:21:23,811
Who, in my opinion, is a brute.

366
00:21:23,901 --> 00:21:25,733
And that's she's not to be found.

367
00:21:25,821 --> 00:21:28,256
And has gone away.
And nobody knows where!

368
00:21:28,341 --> 00:21:32,300
Mr Toots! I'm so rejoiced to see you.

369
00:21:33,141 --> 00:21:35,940
Thankee. I'm pretty well myself. I...

370
00:21:36,901 --> 00:21:38,574
I'm much obliged to you. I...

371
00:21:38,661 --> 00:21:40,732
Oh, I hope all the family are the same.

372
00:21:40,821 --> 00:21:42,971
Mr Toots, you could do us a great favour...

373
00:21:43,061 --> 00:21:45,211
You've been so kind
and so good to me always.

374
00:21:45,301 --> 00:21:50,774
Miss Dombey, your consideration of my
feelings is pan of your angelic character

375
00:21:50,861 --> 00:21:52,295
and it is of no consequence.

376
00:21:52,381 --> 00:21:54,657
We wondered if you knew
where Susan is to be found?

377
00:21:54,741 --> 00:21:56,015
Susan?

378
00:21:56,101 --> 00:21:58,695
You accompanied her to the coach office
when she left me.

379
00:21:58,781 --> 00:22:00,135
Oh! Yes, I...

380
00:22:00,221 --> 00:22:03,293
I don't remember the name of the
place written on the side of the coach

381
00:22:03,381 --> 00:22:05,895
but if it be your object to find her,

382
00:22:05,981 --> 00:22:08,973
I will deliver her with every dispatch
that devotion can ensure.

383
00:22:09,061 --> 00:22:10,938
Oh, thank you, Mr Toots.

384
00:22:11,541 --> 00:22:13,134
Miss Dombey, I am...

385
00:22:13,941 --> 00:22:16,854
I am more than aware
of my own deficiencies and they are...

386
00:22:16,941 --> 00:22:19,330
...they are not of the least consequence,
thank you.

387
00:22:19,421 --> 00:22:23,130
But I...l am entirely to be relied upon,
I do assure you.

388
00:22:24,341 --> 00:22:25,570
Lieutenant Walters...

389
00:22:25,661 --> 00:22:27,732
- My name is not...
- Your servant, sir.

390
00:22:27,821 --> 00:22:30,415
Miss Dombey...and Captain Gills.

391
00:22:33,581 --> 00:22:36,380
Florence, is it true what he says?

392
00:22:36,461 --> 00:22:39,977
I mean, about your father. That you left
your home because of his cruelty?

393
00:22:40,061 --> 00:22:41,893
Walter, please try to understand...

394
00:22:41,981 --> 00:22:43,779
Do you not wish to tell me?

395
00:22:43,861 --> 00:22:45,852
There's nothing to tell.

396
00:22:47,061 --> 00:22:50,213
All my life I've been...without a father.

397
00:22:51,221 --> 00:22:52,939
I waited.

398
00:22:53,021 --> 00:22:55,820
I believe I hoped that one day
he would turn to me.

399
00:22:56,861 --> 00:22:59,137
And now at last I know I'm nothing to him.

400
00:22:59,221 --> 00:23:01,178
Less than nothing.

401
00:23:01,821 --> 00:23:03,334
As he is to me.

402
00:23:18,461 --> 00:23:20,134
DRIVER: Go on!

403
00:23:29,061 --> 00:23:31,018
DRIVER: Go on!
