1
00:03:32,100 --> 00:03:33,340
My apologies, ladies.

2
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,060
A most unpleasant scene.

3
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,800
But I thought you should know the truth
about that man.

4
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,120
Mr Copperfield, I believe you did it for
her.

5
00:03:43,370 --> 00:03:44,450
To save her.

6
00:03:45,290 --> 00:03:46,930
I hope she is saved, ma'am.

7
00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:49,810
But the truth is, I did it for myself.

8
00:03:51,050 --> 00:03:52,170
To save myself.

9
00:03:55,790 --> 00:03:57,110
Now, if you'll excuse me.

10
00:03:58,330 --> 00:04:00,190
Miss Horton, ma'am.

11
00:04:08,190 --> 00:04:11,190
Such a very distinguished man.

12
00:04:48,810 --> 00:04:55,450
the personal history and experiences of
david copperfield

13
00:04:55,450 --> 00:05:02,230
the younger whether i shall turn

14
00:05:02,230 --> 00:05:06,610
out to be the hero of my own life or
whether that station will be held by

15
00:05:06,610 --> 00:05:13,590
anybody else these pages must show to
begin my life with the beginning

16
00:05:13,590 --> 00:05:19,090
of my life i here record that i was born
at blunderston in Suffolk.

17
00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:22,310
I was a posthumous child.

18
00:05:23,130 --> 00:05:27,630
My father's eyes had closed upon the
light of this world six months when mine

19
00:05:27,630 --> 00:05:28,630
opened on it.

20
00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:36,810
An aunt of my father's, and consequently
a great aunt of mine, Miss Betsy

21
00:05:36,810 --> 00:05:39,790
Trotwood was the principal magnate of
our family.

22
00:05:40,850 --> 00:05:43,490
My father had once been a favourite of
hers, I believe.

23
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,560
but she was mortally affronted when he
married my mother without first

24
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,740
presenting her for inspection and
approval.

25
00:06:29,610 --> 00:06:34,470
Miss Betsy and my father never met again
and she'd never seen my mother

26
00:06:34,470 --> 00:06:40,630
The rookery

27
00:06:40,630 --> 00:06:47,110
indeed Where are the

28
00:06:47,110 --> 00:06:48,110
rooks?

29
00:06:49,930 --> 00:06:51,990
I see no such bird

30
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:03,460
This, then, was the state of matters on
what I may be excused for calling that

31
00:07:03,460 --> 00:07:04,840
important day.

32
00:07:37,870 --> 00:07:39,950
Mrs. David Copperfield, I think.

33
00:07:40,710 --> 00:07:43,130
Yes? Miss Betsy Trotwood.

34
00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:46,070
You have heard of her, I dare say.

35
00:07:46,570 --> 00:07:48,110
I have had that pleasure.

36
00:07:48,790 --> 00:07:49,910
And now you see her.

37
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,500
Don't do that. Stop it.

38
00:08:22,420 --> 00:08:23,500
Stop it.

39
00:08:24,380 --> 00:08:25,380
There.

40
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Yes, now.

41
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,180
Let me look at you.

42
00:08:29,740 --> 00:08:31,540
Come. Come, come.

43
00:08:35,539 --> 00:08:36,100
Well,

44
00:08:36,100 --> 00:08:45,580
bless

45
00:08:45,580 --> 00:08:46,580
my heart.

46
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,420
You're a very baby.

47
00:08:50,030 --> 00:08:51,130
I'm a childish widow.

48
00:08:52,830 --> 00:08:55,870
And I will be a childish mother if I
live.

49
00:08:57,410 --> 00:08:58,410
Nonsense.

50
00:08:59,050 --> 00:09:03,390
Set you down. Child, set you down. Be in
the chair by the fire.

51
00:09:09,490 --> 00:09:11,250
The rookery, indeed.

52
00:09:12,250 --> 00:09:13,970
Where are the rooks?

53
00:09:14,330 --> 00:09:18,630
The what, ma'am? Rooks, large black
birds of the crow family.

54
00:09:20,430 --> 00:09:21,430
There are none here now.

55
00:09:21,470 --> 00:09:24,190
In the name of heaven, why the rookery?

56
00:09:24,690 --> 00:09:25,850
You mean the house?

57
00:09:26,210 --> 00:09:28,350
Well, of course I mean the house. What
do you mean?

58
00:09:29,570 --> 00:09:30,710
The name was Mr.

59
00:09:30,950 --> 00:09:34,190
Copperfield's choice on account of the
old nest in the garden.

60
00:09:37,710 --> 00:09:40,270
David Copperfield all over.

61
00:09:40,950 --> 00:09:45,710
Calls a house a rookery and there's not
a rook near it. Takes the birds on trust

62
00:09:45,710 --> 00:09:47,030
because he sees the nest.

63
00:09:47,430 --> 00:09:49,090
Mr. Copperfield is dead.

64
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:09,560
Nonsense.

65
00:10:10,820 --> 00:10:12,300
What you need is tea.

66
00:10:21,260 --> 00:10:23,140
What's your servant's name? Pegarty.

67
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,240
Pegarty?

68
00:10:25,740 --> 00:10:31,320
Do you mean to tell me that any human
being has gone into a Christian church

69
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,220
and got themselves named Pegarty?

70
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,680
It's my surname, ma'am.

71
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:41,850
Mr. Cock... feel called me by it,
because my Christian name's Clara, same

72
00:10:41,850 --> 00:10:42,850
as my mistress.

73
00:10:43,410 --> 00:10:47,990
Yes, well, Piggity, fetch your mistress
a strong cup of tea.

74
00:10:48,190 --> 00:10:49,290
Do, daughter.

75
00:10:57,230 --> 00:11:00,390
I have no doubt the child shall be a
girl.

76
00:11:01,630 --> 00:11:02,730
Perhaps a boy.

77
00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:08,260
Don't contradict. I have a strong
presentiment that child must be a girl.

78
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,240
And I shall be her godmother.

79
00:11:12,740 --> 00:11:16,720
You will call her Betsy Trotwood
Copperfield.

80
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:25,180
Now, on to money matters. Has David left
you properly provided for?

81
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,620
I have this house and its contents and a
sufficient income.

82
00:11:32,330 --> 00:11:34,250
I think a hundred a year.

83
00:11:35,610 --> 00:11:38,370
That seems satisfactory.

84
00:11:39,510 --> 00:11:42,690
Now to my goddaughter's education.

85
00:12:42,420 --> 00:12:43,420
Mom.

86
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Mom.

87
00:12:52,700 --> 00:12:53,700
Mom.

88
00:12:57,860 --> 00:12:58,860
Doctor,

89
00:12:59,100 --> 00:13:00,100
well?

90
00:13:01,460 --> 00:13:03,200
I'm happy to congratulate you, Mom.

91
00:13:03,540 --> 00:13:05,460
What? A fine boy. Speak up, can't you?

92
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:06,720
A boy.

93
00:13:06,740 --> 00:13:08,920
What is the matter with Mom? Why does he
whisper?

94
00:13:20,140 --> 00:13:21,200
What? A boy!

95
00:13:22,220 --> 00:13:25,240
Impossible! I don't show you! I won't
hear you!

96
00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:52,560
Oh boy!

97
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,460
Here we are.

98
00:13:57,680 --> 00:13:59,520
Oh, it's beautiful.

99
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,900
We shall be called David.

100
00:14:11,220 --> 00:14:15,960
After his dear father, David
Copperfield.

101
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:28,740
Even now, when I look back on those
first nine years of my childhood, I see

102
00:14:28,740 --> 00:14:29,740
nothing but sunlight.

103
00:14:31,300 --> 00:14:34,720
Sunlight winking in the window of the
parlour where my mother gives me my

104
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:40,180
first lessons, or flooding a garden,
glinting on her curls as she gathers

105
00:14:40,180 --> 00:14:46,880
fruit, riper and richer than fruit has
ever been since, in any other

106
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:47,880
garden.

107
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,100
Even the old churchyard where my father
lay.

108
00:14:51,610 --> 00:14:55,590
and where each Sunday we brought flowers
in his memory, even that sad place

109
00:14:55,590 --> 00:15:00,270
seemed in my childish vision to be
perpetually suffused in sunlight.

110
00:15:04,150 --> 00:15:07,070
Until the shadow fell.

111
00:15:10,470 --> 00:15:12,130
Good day, Mrs Copperfield.

112
00:15:13,910 --> 00:15:14,930
Mr Marston.

113
00:15:15,570 --> 00:15:16,630
Good day, David.

114
00:15:18,270 --> 00:15:20,290
I trust I find you well, my boy.

115
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,400
He's shy.

116
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,320
And she sang like an angel. Really? Yes.

117
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:41,900
So this is it.

118
00:15:43,860 --> 00:15:46,520
So, goodbye, Mrs. Copperfield.

119
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:47,960
Mr. Mesdame.

120
00:15:49,140 --> 00:15:50,140
Goodbye, Davy.

121
00:15:53,900 --> 00:15:54,900
Come, my boy.

122
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,160
Let's be friends.

123
00:15:56,940 --> 00:15:57,940
Davy?

124
00:16:03,220 --> 00:16:05,700
Well, that's the wrong hand, Davy.

125
00:16:13,620 --> 00:16:15,020
There's a brave little fellow.

126
00:16:22,770 --> 00:16:23,770
Davy?

127
00:16:24,330 --> 00:16:25,650
Master Davy?

128
00:16:26,370 --> 00:16:27,370
Yes, Peggy?

129
00:16:27,570 --> 00:16:32,410
How should you like to go along with me
and spend a fortnight at my brother's at

130
00:16:32,410 --> 00:16:34,850
Yarmouth? Wouldn't that be a treat?

131
00:16:35,710 --> 00:16:38,690
Peggy, is your brother an enjoyable man?

132
00:16:39,230 --> 00:16:45,410
That he is. And then there's the sea,
and the boats, and the fishermen, and

133
00:16:45,410 --> 00:16:46,410
the beach.

134
00:16:52,460 --> 00:16:53,840
But what will Mama say?

135
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,560
As good as better Ganesh, she'll let us
go.

136
00:16:57,860 --> 00:17:00,740
So what's she to do with herself while
we're away?

137
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,760
She can't live on her own.

138
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:10,660
Bless you. Don't you know she's going to
stay for a full night with Mrs. Graper?

139
00:17:11,300 --> 00:17:12,420
Mrs. Graper?

140
00:17:12,839 --> 00:17:13,839
Hmm.

141
00:17:14,099 --> 00:17:16,099
Mrs. Graper's going to have a lot of
company.

142
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:17,480
Then we can go.

143
00:17:17,700 --> 00:17:18,700
Yes.

144
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,520
Poor David.

145
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:23,980
How innocent you were.

146
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,420
How eager to leave your happy home.

147
00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:29,320
And poor Peggy.

148
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,020
I see the whole plot now.

149
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,800
Peggy was to be ambassadress for my
mother and break the news to me during

150
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:37,800
our stay in Yarmouth.

151
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,160
Master Davy? Isn't it a wonderful place,
Figgity?

152
00:18:19,700 --> 00:18:23,340
Tis the finest along this coast, that's
well known.

153
00:18:28,380 --> 00:18:30,840
Master Davy? Yes, Figgity?

154
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:32,360
Look, there's Ham!

155
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,960
Stop, Mr Barkers! There's my nephew,
Ham!

156
00:18:36,260 --> 00:18:38,640
Ham! Yoo-hoo!

157
00:18:39,060 --> 00:18:40,880
Hey, there's my Aunt Clara!

158
00:19:06,700 --> 00:19:08,500
She never had a sweetheart

159
00:19:36,380 --> 00:19:38,500
That's a boat, ain't it?

160
00:19:39,780 --> 00:19:46,380
If it had been Aladdin's palace, I could
not have been more

161
00:19:46,380 --> 00:19:48,860
charmed with the romantic idea of living
in it.

162
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:54,640
The true wonder of it was that it was a
real boat that must have been upon the

163
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,400
oceans hundreds, thousands of times.

164
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:03,900
Glad to see you, sir.

165
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,400
You'll find us rough, sir, but you'll
find us ready.

166
00:20:13,620 --> 00:20:15,300
This is little Emily, sir.

167
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,400
Emily, say how to do to Mr.

168
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:20,640
Copperfield.

169
00:20:27,500 --> 00:20:30,200
Well, sister.

170
00:20:32,270 --> 00:20:33,169
How are you, lad?

171
00:20:33,170 --> 00:20:34,690
All right, my love.

172
00:20:35,990 --> 00:20:36,990
Come on, baby.

173
00:20:41,190 --> 00:20:42,190
Mr. Peggy?

174
00:20:42,610 --> 00:20:47,330
Sir. Did you give your son the name Ham
because you live in the Noah's Ark?

175
00:20:47,830 --> 00:20:48,830
No, sir.

176
00:20:49,030 --> 00:20:50,890
His father gave him that name.

177
00:20:53,430 --> 00:20:55,310
But I thought you were his father.

178
00:20:55,730 --> 00:20:58,150
My brother Joe was his father.

179
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:03,440
Mr. Peggity.

180
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,920
Drowned it. But little Emily, she's your
daughter, isn't she?

181
00:21:09,540 --> 00:21:10,540
No, sir.

182
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,760
My brother-in-law Tom was her father.

183
00:21:14,780 --> 00:21:16,540
Not dead, Mr.

184
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,480
Peggity. Drowned it.

185
00:21:19,100 --> 00:21:20,800
Have you any children, then?

186
00:21:21,820 --> 00:21:22,820
No, sir.

187
00:21:23,180 --> 00:21:24,180
I'm a bachelor.

188
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:25,640
A bachelor?

189
00:21:30,700 --> 00:21:32,060
He was a bed master, Davy.

190
00:21:38,220 --> 00:21:40,440
There's their old girl.

191
00:21:43,820 --> 00:21:45,880
Her name's Mrs. Dummage.

192
00:21:46,460 --> 00:21:49,600
Her man and Danal was partners in a
boat.

193
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,440
But old Dummage died and left her very
poor.

194
00:21:54,100 --> 00:21:55,580
So Danal took her in.

195
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,680
Like Ham and little Emily when they was
orphaned.

196
00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:02,520
He must be a very good man, I should
think. The best of men.

197
00:22:03,620 --> 00:22:04,760
To bed with you now.

198
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:11,720
Good night.

199
00:22:14,660 --> 00:22:15,660
Night.

200
00:22:20,220 --> 00:22:21,220
Davy?

201
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,040
Yes, Peggy?

202
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:33,460
My brother Daniel, he don't like have
that goodness and generosity of his

203
00:22:33,460 --> 00:22:36,140
spoken love. Not by anybody, not in his
hearing.

204
00:22:36,380 --> 00:22:37,960
I won't mention it.

205
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,760
Don't. It makes him swear something
terrible to do.

206
00:23:04,510 --> 00:23:09,830
Sometimes, at night, when there's a
storm blowing, I wake and I think I hear

207
00:23:09,830 --> 00:23:13,570
Uncle Daniel and Ham rowing out for
help.

208
00:23:14,930 --> 00:23:17,030
Does it make you remember your father?

209
00:23:17,890 --> 00:23:19,250
I never knowed him.

210
00:23:20,890 --> 00:23:21,890
That's like me.

211
00:23:22,570 --> 00:23:23,890
But you had a mother, hadn't you?

212
00:23:24,790 --> 00:23:26,090
I lost my mother too.

213
00:23:26,970 --> 00:23:29,710
Besides, your father was a gentleman and
we're in a fisherman.

214
00:23:29,950 --> 00:23:31,030
Like Uncle Daniel.

215
00:23:32,750 --> 00:23:36,490
Peggy says I should never mention what a
good man he is. Good!

216
00:23:37,130 --> 00:23:43,010
If I was ever to be a lady, I'd give him
a sky blue coat, with diamond buttons, a

217
00:23:43,010 --> 00:23:47,170
red velvet waistcoat, a cocked hat, a
gold watch and a box of money.

218
00:23:47,390 --> 00:23:49,130
Would you like to be a lady, Emily?

219
00:23:49,710 --> 00:23:50,710
Yes, very much.

220
00:23:52,470 --> 00:23:53,730
Emily, wait!

221
00:24:25,450 --> 00:24:30,230
I'm sure I loved her with a greater
tenderness and purity than can enter

222
00:24:30,230 --> 00:24:32,790
into even the noblest love of a later
time of life.

223
00:24:34,490 --> 00:24:40,070
The days sported by us as if time
himself had not grown up yet, but was a

224
00:24:40,070 --> 00:24:42,650
child too, and always at play.

225
00:24:45,670 --> 00:24:50,830
Dear Peggy, I suppose it was because she
saw us so happy and would not spoil it

226
00:24:50,830 --> 00:24:54,210
that she never did carry out the
commission my mother had entrusted to

227
00:24:54,210 --> 00:24:55,179
her.

228
00:24:55,180 --> 00:24:58,900
It was only when we were approaching the
very gate of the house that at last she

229
00:24:58,900 --> 00:24:59,859
told me.

230
00:24:59,860 --> 00:25:02,160
Mr. Marcus, sound your horn.

231
00:25:30,570 --> 00:25:33,330
Wait, wait, Master Davy, and I'll tell
you something.

232
00:25:35,670 --> 00:25:36,670
What?

233
00:25:37,850 --> 00:25:38,890
Where is she?

234
00:25:39,290 --> 00:25:40,650
She's not dead.

235
00:25:41,590 --> 00:25:46,270
Dead? Of course she's not. Oh, bless the
boy.

236
00:25:47,130 --> 00:25:53,610
Now, Davy, I should have told you
something before, but

237
00:25:53,610 --> 00:25:56,610
I couldn't bring my mind to it.

238
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:00,400
What do you think?

239
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:02,740
You've got a power.

240
00:26:04,980 --> 00:26:06,280
A new one.

241
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:09,760
Mama!

242
00:26:11,940 --> 00:26:12,940
Phoebe!

243
00:26:13,980 --> 00:26:14,980
Clara.

244
00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:19,360
My dear.

245
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:23,520
Control yourself.

246
00:26:28,330 --> 00:26:31,510
Well, you may kiss your mother, David.

247
00:26:36,310 --> 00:26:38,890
Always control yourself.

248
00:26:42,850 --> 00:26:43,850
Well now, David.

249
00:26:46,330 --> 00:26:47,330
How do you do?

250
00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:17,460
Mr. Murdstone's sister is to live with
us, Davy.

251
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,340
She's to have this room, while you're to
have a new room.

252
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:23,320
But why?

253
00:27:24,980 --> 00:27:25,980
Come with me.

254
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:53,800
Davy.

255
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,200
Clara.

256
00:28:00,740 --> 00:28:01,740
What is this?

257
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,540
Clara, my love.

258
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:09,560
Have you forgotten?

259
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:17,720
Firmness, my dear.

260
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:20,180
Sorry, Edward.

261
00:28:21,610 --> 00:28:22,950
I meant to be very good.

262
00:28:23,870 --> 00:28:25,010
I'm so uncomfortable.

263
00:28:31,470 --> 00:28:33,090
Go you below, my dear.

264
00:28:34,510 --> 00:28:37,450
David and I will be down in a moment.

265
00:28:45,670 --> 00:28:46,670
David.

266
00:29:04,170 --> 00:29:11,090
If I have an obstinate horse, or dog,
what do you think

267
00:29:11,090 --> 00:29:12,090
I do?

268
00:29:13,430 --> 00:29:16,190
I don't know.

269
00:29:17,170 --> 00:29:18,690
I beat him.

270
00:29:20,630 --> 00:29:22,250
I make him wince.

271
00:29:23,410 --> 00:29:24,630
And smart.

272
00:29:26,230 --> 00:29:30,830
And I say to myself, I'll conquer that
fellow.

273
00:29:31,820 --> 00:29:37,560
If it cost him all the blood he has,
I'll do it.

274
00:29:42,780 --> 00:29:44,960
A few days later, she came.

275
00:29:45,460 --> 00:29:47,420
Miss Jane Murdstone.

276
00:30:00,460 --> 00:30:05,040
I remember when she paid the coachman,
she took her money out of a hard steel

277
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:10,320
purse. She kept the purse in a very jail
of a bag, which hung upon her arm by

278
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,600
heavy chains and shut up like a bite.

279
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:20,580
I've never seen before, nor have I ever
seen since, such a metallic lady as Jane

280
00:30:20,580 --> 00:30:21,580
Murdston.

281
00:30:22,460 --> 00:30:24,540
Dear Jane, welcome.

282
00:30:26,340 --> 00:30:28,120
Is this your boy, Sister-in-law?

283
00:30:29,860 --> 00:30:30,860
This is Davy.

284
00:30:33,140 --> 00:30:34,860
Generally speaking, I don't like boys.

285
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:36,800
How do you do, boy?

286
00:30:41,780 --> 00:30:43,280
Fine, thank you, Mum.

287
00:30:43,860 --> 00:30:45,180
And I hope you are the same.

288
00:30:46,940 --> 00:30:47,960
Relax, manna.

289
00:30:48,740 --> 00:30:49,740
Brother.

290
00:30:55,220 --> 00:30:56,220
Lift up.

291
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:22,880
Clara, my dear, I'm come here to relieve
you of all the trouble I can.

292
00:31:23,180 --> 00:31:29,120
You're much too pretty and thoughtless
to have any duties imposed upon you that

293
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,580
can be undertaken by me.

294
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,740
Give me your keys, my dear.

295
00:31:41,420 --> 00:31:42,420
Clara?

296
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,840
It's very hard that in my own house...
In my own house?

297
00:32:01,140 --> 00:32:02,140
Claire!

298
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,240
Our own house, I mean.

299
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,720
It's very hard that I may not have a
word to say about domestic matters.

300
00:32:10,220 --> 00:32:12,720
I'm sure I managed very well before we
were married.

301
00:32:12,940 --> 00:32:14,580
Edward, let there be an end of it.

302
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:15,920
I go tomorrow.

303
00:32:16,220 --> 00:32:18,240
Jane Murdstone, sit down and be silent.

304
00:32:18,540 --> 00:32:20,300
I'm sure I don't want anybody to go.

305
00:32:21,500 --> 00:32:23,240
I don't ask much, only...

306
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:24,900
To be consulted sometimes.

307
00:32:25,420 --> 00:32:28,200
Edward, I... Jane Murdstone, will you be
silent?

308
00:32:31,620 --> 00:32:33,240
Clara, you astound me.

309
00:32:35,620 --> 00:32:40,960
When Jane Murdstone is kind enough to
assume, for my sake, something like the

310
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,680
condition of a housekeeper's.

311
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:50,640
And when she meets with a base return...
No, don't say that, my love. This is not

312
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:51,780
a fit scene for the boy.

313
00:32:53,500 --> 00:32:54,720
David, go to bed.

314
00:32:55,060 --> 00:32:56,940
But, sir... To bed, I say!

315
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:09,760
Davey?

316
00:33:23,470 --> 00:33:30,230
Davy be firm with the boy He knows his
lesson or

317
00:33:30,230 --> 00:33:33,330
he does not know it. He does not know it

318
00:33:33,330 --> 00:33:48,370
Jane

319
00:33:48,370 --> 00:33:49,550
Murdstone is right.

320
00:33:50,210 --> 00:33:52,410
He does not know it

321
00:33:55,820 --> 00:33:59,860
More firmness is required. Much more.
Edward, please, no!

322
00:34:00,260 --> 00:34:03,820
Clara, I have often been flogged to
myself.

323
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:06,720
Edward, please!

324
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:11,900
Clara! My dear Jane, Clara is greatly
strengthened and improved.

325
00:34:12,260 --> 00:34:17,380
But we can hardly expect her to bear
with perfect firmness the worry and

326
00:34:17,380 --> 00:34:22,400
torment that David has brought upon her
with his idleness and inattention.

327
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:23,719
David!

328
00:34:24,710 --> 00:34:28,370
You and I shall go upstairs, boy.

329
00:34:31,150 --> 00:34:32,949
But sir, please!

330
00:34:35,210 --> 00:34:36,210
No!

331
00:34:36,790 --> 00:34:37,790
Edward, no!

332
00:34:38,090 --> 00:34:39,110
Claire, are you a perv?

333
00:35:09,910 --> 00:35:10,910
Don't you?

334
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,660
He beat me then as if he'd have beaten
me to death.

335
00:35:59,740 --> 00:36:00,740
How well I recollect.

336
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:20,560
When I became quiet, what an unnatural
stillness seemed to reign through the

337
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:21,560
whole house.

338
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:27,040
It grew dark, the night wore on, and
nobody came near me.

339
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,760
Fearful questions tortured me.

340
00:36:31,140 --> 00:36:33,200
Was it a criminal act that I'd
committed?

341
00:36:33,580 --> 00:36:35,080
Would I be sent to prison?

342
00:36:35,620 --> 00:36:37,060
Would I be hanged?

343
00:37:03,370 --> 00:37:04,410
Is that you, Peggy?

344
00:37:05,090 --> 00:37:08,230
Soft as a mouse. All the cattle hear us.

345
00:37:08,650 --> 00:37:11,030
Is Mama very angry with me?

346
00:37:11,650 --> 00:37:13,590
No, not very.

347
00:37:14,570 --> 00:37:16,570
But what's to be done with me?

348
00:37:17,470 --> 00:37:18,470
School.

349
00:37:18,850 --> 00:37:20,170
Near London.

350
00:37:28,970 --> 00:37:30,090
Oh, Jamie.

351
00:37:30,370 --> 00:37:32,630
Mama, please forgive me.

352
00:37:33,550 --> 00:37:34,550
Please.

353
00:37:35,350 --> 00:37:37,730
Clara. I do forgive you.

354
00:37:38,110 --> 00:37:40,790
Clara. But try to be better.

355
00:37:41,810 --> 00:37:43,190
Pray to be better.

356
00:37:44,550 --> 00:37:46,050
I do forgive you.

357
00:37:48,190 --> 00:37:49,390
Goodbye, my child.

358
00:37:49,870 --> 00:37:50,870
David.

359
00:37:55,210 --> 00:37:56,210
David.

360
00:37:58,250 --> 00:37:59,250
That's enough.

361
00:38:01,610 --> 00:38:02,690
Now that's enough.

362
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:04,120
It's enough, I say.

363
00:38:14,100 --> 00:38:15,440
Go on, up you go.

364
00:38:23,240 --> 00:38:26,180
I hope you'll repent or you'll come to a
bad end.

365
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,080
Drive on.

366
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,680
You mustn't never forget me, Davy, for
I'll never forget you.

367
00:39:03,460 --> 00:39:08,160
And I'll take as much care of your ma as
I ever took of you, and I won't never

368
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:09,160
leave her.

369
00:39:22,100 --> 00:39:23,480
Is she a good cook?

370
00:39:24,980 --> 00:39:25,980
Pegatine's me.

371
00:39:30,220 --> 00:39:31,880
Would you like a pie, Mr. Marcus?

372
00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:33,360
Oh, maybe I will.

373
00:39:38,140 --> 00:39:45,040
Perhaps you might be

374
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,040
writing to her.

375
00:39:46,100 --> 00:39:48,180
I'll certainly be writing to her.

376
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:53,780
Ah, well... You was writing to her.

377
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,880
Perhaps you recollect to say that...

378
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,560
Arcus is willing.

379
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:05,940
Arcus is willing?

380
00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:07,900
Is that all your message?

381
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:09,360
Yeah.

382
00:40:10,980 --> 00:40:13,480
Arcus is willing.

383
00:40:36,700 --> 00:40:39,800
Come on, hurry up! Move it!

384
00:40:41,100 --> 00:40:42,440
Come on, move!

385
00:40:51,980 --> 00:40:58,120
Is this the new boy, Mr Tanguy?

386
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:00,300
It is Mr.

387
00:41:00,660 --> 00:41:01,660
Krakow, sir.

388
00:41:02,340 --> 00:41:03,520
Fetch him up.

389
00:41:30,510 --> 00:41:31,510
Tommy Tradows.

390
00:41:31,630 --> 00:41:32,630
Good luck.

391
00:41:32,950 --> 00:41:33,950
Come on.

392
00:41:34,730 --> 00:41:35,730
In you go.

393
00:41:39,610 --> 00:41:40,610
So,

394
00:41:47,430 --> 00:41:53,790
this is the young gentleman whose feet
are to be piled.

395
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:01,400
Lively now.

396
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:08,360
I have seen your happiness of knowing
your step-father, Mr.

397
00:42:08,700 --> 00:42:12,000
Mercedown, and a worthy man he is.

398
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,160
A man of strong character.

399
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:20,520
He knows me, and I know him.

400
00:42:21,980 --> 00:42:24,120
Do you know me, boy?

401
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:26,560
No, I guess so. Not yet, eh?

402
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,040
But you will soon, eh?

403
00:42:29,980 --> 00:42:31,600
You will soon, eh?

404
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,440
I'll tell you what I am.

405
00:42:34,540 --> 00:42:35,620
I'm a tartar.

406
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:41,520
A tartar. I'm a determined character,
that's what I am. When I say, I do a

407
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,140
thing, I do it. Do it.

408
00:42:44,380 --> 00:42:46,980
Will I not do it, Mrs. Creakle?

409
00:42:47,980 --> 00:42:50,000
You will, Mr. Creakle.

410
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:03,120
Mr. Tonguey, please oblige.

411
00:43:09,940 --> 00:43:15,460
It seems you're famous for biting balls.

412
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,000
Well, I'm famous for biting.

413
00:43:18,780 --> 00:43:19,920
Ah! Carol!

414
00:43:20,900 --> 00:43:23,540
What about this for a tooth?

415
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:25,600
Is it not sharp?

416
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,260
Will it bite, eh?

417
00:43:28,910 --> 00:43:29,910
Bye.

418
00:44:26,380 --> 00:44:29,800
In the name of my saviour, James
Steerforth.

419
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,680
He was the oldest boy in the school, the
son of a rich widow.

420
00:44:35,340 --> 00:44:37,320
Steerforth was afraid of nobody.

421
00:44:38,940 --> 00:44:40,700
Well, stand up, Truddles, for God's
sake.

422
00:44:45,540 --> 00:44:46,540
You.

423
00:44:49,500 --> 00:44:50,640
Up you get, young'un.

424
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:55,360
What's this?

425
00:44:57,100 --> 00:44:58,100
What is this?

426
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,820
I call it a rotten shame, don't you
boys?

427
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:05,360
Yes!

428
00:45:07,100 --> 00:45:12,700
Good day, Mr. Creakle.

429
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:21,480
Tuck yourself in.

430
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:26,440
Don't you worry.

431
00:45:29,420 --> 00:45:30,420
I'll look after you.

432
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:42,260
From that moment, I was bound to him by
an unbreakable bond of loyalty

433
00:45:42,260 --> 00:45:43,400
and gratitude.

434
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,940
He did make life in that brutal place at
least tolerable.

435
00:45:51,820 --> 00:45:55,400
He loved a story, but was far too idle,
he said, to read himself.

436
00:45:55,780 --> 00:45:57,020
So I read to him.

437
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,740
Then came the morning when I was
summoned to Mr. Creakle in the parlor.

438
00:46:04,820 --> 00:46:05,820
Master Copperfield?

439
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,680
Yes, sir? You wanted in Mr. Creakle's
parlor.

440
00:46:09,340 --> 00:46:11,140
Come on, come on, hurry up.

441
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:15,920
Come

442
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:25,120
here

443
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:26,120
and sit down, David.

444
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,060
to tell you, my child.

445
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:37,980
You're too young to know how the world
changes every day and the people in it

446
00:46:37,980 --> 00:46:38,980
pass away.

447
00:46:40,180 --> 00:46:43,020
It's something we've all got to learn,
David.

448
00:46:43,980 --> 00:46:46,080
Some of us when we're very young.

449
00:46:49,420 --> 00:46:56,060
I grieve to have to tell you that I hear
this morning

450
00:46:56,060 --> 00:46:59,300
that your mama is gravely ill.

451
00:47:03,050 --> 00:47:05,590
She is very dangerously ill.

452
00:47:09,830 --> 00:47:11,570
She is dead.

453
00:47:14,990 --> 00:47:20,650
A man that is born of a woman hath but a
short time to live and is full of

454
00:47:20,650 --> 00:47:24,330
misery. He cometh up and is cut down
like a flower.

455
00:47:24,750 --> 00:47:28,870
He fleeth that it were a shadow and
never continueth in one day.

456
00:47:29,610 --> 00:47:32,450
In the midst of life we are in death.

457
00:47:34,090 --> 00:47:39,270
After you went, she got more timid and
frightened like.

458
00:47:40,370 --> 00:47:44,530
A hard word was like a blow to her.

459
00:47:45,830 --> 00:47:49,070
But still she would love them two
downstairs.

460
00:47:50,710 --> 00:47:53,970
Because she couldn't bear not to love
anyone who was about her.

461
00:47:58,890 --> 00:48:02,410
At last, she says to me...

462
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:10,920
Raggedy, my dear, lay your good arm
underneath my neck and turn me to

463
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:14,580
you, for your face is going far off.

464
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:24,300
And she called on God to bless and
protect her father's boy.

465
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,320
And then she died.

466
00:48:31,580 --> 00:48:33,160
Like a child.

467
00:48:56,220 --> 00:49:01,860
I hope that you and Mr. Barkis will be
very happy together, Peggy T.

468
00:49:02,350 --> 00:49:03,810
Bless the boy.

469
00:49:05,710 --> 00:49:08,870
They do say he's a bit tight with money.

470
00:49:09,190 --> 00:49:14,990
So, take this now, Davy, before I'm Mrs
Barkis.

471
00:49:16,490 --> 00:49:18,550
A whole sovereign... Shh!

472
00:49:20,170 --> 00:49:21,490
I can't.

473
00:49:21,750 --> 00:49:26,530
You take it and guard it well till the
day you need it.

474
00:49:39,220 --> 00:49:40,980
No, don't agree, don't agree.

475
00:49:41,240 --> 00:49:44,940
It's a waste of time. What's more, it's
a waste of money. Put it all to auction.

476
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:46,100
House and contents.

477
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:48,080
Stock and barrel.

478
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:51,940
It's quick, and you'll get your price.

479
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:55,300
Um...

480
00:49:55,300 --> 00:50:04,100
Oh.

481
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:06,800
David.

482
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:08,920
Come here, boy.

483
00:50:12,980 --> 00:50:17,480
You have a disposition which requires a
great deal of correcting.

484
00:50:17,780 --> 00:50:21,620
What it wants is to be crushed. And
crushed it must be, and crushed it will

485
00:50:21,620 --> 00:50:25,460
be. Jane, leave this to me, if you
please.

486
00:50:27,140 --> 00:50:29,560
I am not a rich man, David.

487
00:50:30,420 --> 00:50:31,900
And education is costly.

488
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:36,080
In any case, I can see no advantage to
leaving you at school.

489
00:50:39,340 --> 00:50:42,220
So, I have a business in London.

490
00:50:42,660 --> 00:50:44,080
Murdstone and Grimby.

491
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,060
Mr Quinion, my friend, manages it for
me.

492
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:51,660
Mr Quinion has suggested that since it
gives employment to other boys, it can

493
00:50:51,660 --> 00:50:53,460
also give employment to you.

494
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:55,740
Seeing that he has no other prospects.

495
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,660
Your wages will be six shillings per
week.

496
00:50:59,860 --> 00:51:03,080
Your lodgings, which I have arranged,
will be paid for by me.

497
00:51:03,500 --> 00:51:06,880
In short, you're provided for and will
do your duty.

498
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:13,240
Here we are, Mercedon and Grimby. We
have arrived.

499
00:51:13,720 --> 00:51:17,720
Here lies your future, Mercedon and
Grimby.

500
00:51:21,340 --> 00:51:25,840
Our chief business is the supply of
wines and spirits to merchant ships.

501
00:51:26,340 --> 00:51:27,340
Come here, Mick.

502
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:29,600
Here's Mick Walker.

503
00:51:29,940 --> 00:51:32,680
This is David Copperfield. He's the work
below.

504
00:51:32,900 --> 00:51:34,780
He's on and instructed in his duties.

505
00:51:44,410 --> 00:51:46,890
Not to be repeated to Mr.

506
00:51:47,090 --> 00:51:48,090
Chew.

507
00:51:49,790 --> 00:51:56,570
I'm off, I am. Soon as I may, I'm gonna
be a bargeman, like me old pop, and walk

508
00:51:56,570 --> 00:52:01,150
in the Lord Mayor's show in black velvet
headdress like he done.

509
00:52:01,810 --> 00:52:04,050
Here, Mealy! What?

510
00:52:05,370 --> 00:52:11,330
This is Mealy Potatoes. He do have a
name, but we all calls him Mealy

511
00:52:11,330 --> 00:52:14,740
Potatoes. Because he looks like an
half-boiled spud.

512
00:52:16,180 --> 00:52:17,760
Do he have a name then?

513
00:52:18,260 --> 00:52:19,260
Copper something.

514
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:21,540
Field. Copperfield.

515
00:52:21,820 --> 00:52:23,200
David Copperfield.

516
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:25,700
Show him what he has to do.

517
00:52:27,540 --> 00:52:29,520
Good luck, Cocky.

518
00:52:32,740 --> 00:52:34,200
David Copperfield.

519
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:37,800
Esquire. At your service.

520
00:52:38,060 --> 00:52:39,200
Me lords.

521
00:52:39,460 --> 00:52:40,460
Ladies.

522
00:52:40,970 --> 00:52:41,970
And gentlemen.

523
00:52:43,810 --> 00:52:45,270
Show us your hands.

524
00:52:45,850 --> 00:52:47,250
Show us your hands!

525
00:52:49,490 --> 00:52:50,490
Now,

526
00:52:55,110 --> 00:52:57,430
milady, observe, if you please.

527
00:53:11,720 --> 00:53:13,440
You try, milady.

528
00:53:20,580 --> 00:53:21,180
No

529
00:53:21,180 --> 00:53:28,120
words can

530
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:33,520
express the secret agony of my soul, the
sense I had of being utterly without

531
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:39,280
hope, the misery it was to my young
heart to know that day by day all I had

532
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:44,280
learnt... and thought and delighted in,
would pass away from me, little by

533
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:47,180
little, never to be brought back any
more.

534
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:52,660
But then, in that utter darkness, came a
gleam of light.

535
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:12,000
It came in the form of a startish,
middle-aged person with no more hair

536
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:13,860
upon his head than there is upon an egg.

537
00:54:14,180 --> 00:54:15,820
This is Mr. McCobber.

538
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:21,380
Mr. McCobber is known to Mr. Murdstone.
He takes orders from us on commission

539
00:54:21,380 --> 00:54:24,640
when he can get any. You will be lodging
in his house.

540
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:27,860
Mr. McCobber, this is David Copperfield.

541
00:54:29,020 --> 00:54:30,020
Honored, Mr.

542
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:33,860
Copperfield. Under the impression that
your peregrination...

543
00:54:34,460 --> 00:54:39,560
in this metropolis have not as yet been
extensive and that you might have some

544
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:43,620
difficulty in penetrating the arcana of
the modern Babylon.

545
00:54:43,860 --> 00:54:46,520
In short, that you might lose yourself.

546
00:54:46,980 --> 00:54:50,660
I am here to accompany you to my humble
abode.

547
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:52,380
Thank you, sir.

548
00:54:52,940 --> 00:54:54,400
Eli! Coming, sir!

549
00:54:57,300 --> 00:54:59,240
Take Copperfield's box for him.

550
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:00,440
Yes, sir.

551
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:15,300
Mr. Copperfield! Stop!

552
00:55:15,860 --> 00:55:18,120
Pay no debt! Pay me!

553
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:19,960
I'll have the law on you!

554
00:55:20,240 --> 00:55:25,660
Stop! Mr. Copperfield, if there is one
great universal truth to be discovered

555
00:55:25,660 --> 00:55:31,880
as we journey through this vale of
tears, it is this. Annual income, 20

556
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:35,640
pounds. Annual expenditure, 19 pounds,
19 and 6.

557
00:55:35,980 --> 00:55:37,220
Result, happiness.

558
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:42,920
Annual income, 20 pounds. Annual
expenditure, 20 pounds and 6 pence.

559
00:55:43,290 --> 00:55:44,410
The

560
00:55:44,410 --> 00:56:03,090
circumstances

561
00:56:03,090 --> 00:56:08,850
have rendered it imperative to enter the
humble abode. We will not say

562
00:56:08,850 --> 00:56:11,290
surreptitiously, but discreetly.

563
00:56:12,060 --> 00:56:14,980
circuitously in short by the back door

564
00:56:43,180 --> 00:56:44,180
Master Copperfield.

565
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:45,680
Go, go.

566
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,980
Is that you, Mr. McCorver? Yes, I am.

567
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:12,400
My dear, permit me to present to you
Master David Copperfield.

568
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:18,180
Master Copperfield. Master Copperfield,
I make known to you the partner of my

569
00:57:18,180 --> 00:57:23,160
life, my strong right hand, my helpmate,
in short, Mrs. MacGobber.

570
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,440
What do you do, ma'am? MacGobber!

571
00:57:25,900 --> 00:57:26,900
Upstairs, upstairs.

572
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,280
Leaving, MacGobber! Until you settle
your debts!

573
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:32,040
Mr.

574
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,080
MacGobber, difficult hit.

575
00:57:36,980 --> 00:57:39,220
Almost overwhelming at present.

576
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,780
Whether it is possible to bring him
through them, I cannot say.

577
00:57:46,020 --> 00:57:50,820
If Mr. McCobb's creditors will not give
him time, then they must take

578
00:57:50,820 --> 00:57:55,660
consequences. And the sooner they bring
it to an issue, the better.

579
00:57:56,700 --> 00:58:00,060
Is Mr. McCobb a great friend of Mr.
Marlstone, ma'am?

580
00:58:00,780 --> 00:58:01,780
Friends?

581
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:03,900
I would hardly say friends.

582
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:06,180
A mere commercial acquaintance.

583
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:09,980
Blood cannot be obtained from a stone.

584
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:15,100
And neither can anything on account be
obtained at present from Mr. Macorber.

585
00:58:25,500 --> 00:58:32,300
My family are of the opinion that Mr.
Macorber should

586
00:58:32,300 --> 00:58:35,600
quit London and exercise his talents in
the country.

587
00:58:36,750 --> 00:58:39,670
Mr. Corber is a man of great talent,
Master Copperfield.

588
00:58:39,950 --> 00:58:44,270
I'm sure he is. My family are of the
opinion that, with a little interest,

589
00:58:44,610 --> 00:58:48,130
something might be done for a man of his
ability in Custom House.

590
00:58:48,490 --> 00:58:49,490
Yes.

591
00:58:49,810 --> 00:58:54,690
In the meantime, I remain confident that
something will turn up.

592
00:58:55,390 --> 00:58:58,550
My dear, I give you Master Copperfield.

593
00:59:00,330 --> 00:59:02,010
You're welcome under our roof, sir.

594
00:59:31,690 --> 00:59:38,650
Forgive me, Mum, I... If I can assist
you in

595
00:59:38,650 --> 00:59:40,090
your troubles, I will.

596
00:59:40,550 --> 00:59:44,210
Master Copperfield, I bless you for
that.

597
00:59:49,270 --> 00:59:51,630
I cannot treat you as a stranger.

598
00:59:53,030 --> 00:59:59,030
And therefore do not hesitate to say
that Mr Macorber's difficulties are

599
00:59:59,030 --> 01:00:00,490
coming to a...

600
01:00:00,860 --> 01:00:01,860
A crisis.

601
01:00:02,140 --> 01:00:04,100
I'm very sorry to hear that, ma'am.

602
01:00:08,780 --> 01:00:14,060
With the exception of the heel of a
Dutch cheese, which is not adapted to

603
01:00:14,060 --> 01:00:18,180
the wants of the young family, there is
nothing to eat in the house.

604
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:25,960
Mr. Macorber has taken the children to
the pie shop in the hope of obtaining a

605
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:26,960
little more credit.

606
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:30,020
Take this, ma'am.

607
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:32,120
Please.

608
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:34,280
Please.

609
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:36,760
What?

610
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:43,280
I was alone, Mum. No, I couldn't think
of it.

611
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:48,720
But you could render me another kind of
service.

612
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:50,080
Anything, Mum.

613
01:01:02,830 --> 01:01:04,750
They were my dear papa's.

614
01:01:05,470 --> 01:01:12,110
Mr. Macorber's delicate feelings would
never allow him to... Pawn them, ma'am.

615
01:01:13,470 --> 01:01:17,250
Well, let us say, rather, dispose of
them.

616
01:01:18,090 --> 01:01:22,170
And such transactions are too painful
for me.

617
01:01:23,070 --> 01:01:27,250
But if I might ask you, Master
Copperfield... Anything, ma'am.

618
01:01:47,990 --> 01:01:50,870
It's my house. I live there.

619
01:01:55,550 --> 01:01:56,990
What happened?

620
01:01:57,590 --> 01:02:00,070
All of them.

621
01:02:00,290 --> 01:02:04,470
At last, at last, my dear sir. You're
from the Charles Street Court.

622
01:02:04,730 --> 01:02:05,890
Out of my way.

623
01:02:06,950 --> 01:02:08,970
Don't you cry no ear to him, young sir.

624
01:02:19,340 --> 01:02:20,340
Excuse me.

625
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:22,540
Copperfield. Oh,

626
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:31,200
Copperfield. The blossom is blighted.
The leaf is withered. God of day goes

627
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:36,480
down upon the dreary scene. And in
short, I am forever flawed.

628
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:43,140
I never will desert you, Mr. McCall. I
am a my angel.

629
01:02:45,260 --> 01:02:47,980
He is the father of my children.

630
01:02:50,090 --> 01:02:56,630
he is the husband of my affections and i
never will desert mr

631
01:02:56,630 --> 01:03:00,890
micawber don't cry ma'am

632
01:03:00,890 --> 01:03:07,890
i went

633
01:03:07,890 --> 01:03:09,670
to the pawnshop and you asked

634
01:03:19,630 --> 01:03:21,750
Copperfield, you are a Trojan.

635
01:03:23,830 --> 01:03:27,930
The rent is paid on Windsor Terrace
until the end of the month.

636
01:03:28,190 --> 01:03:31,750
You have a legal right to occupy your
room, Master Copperfield.

637
01:03:32,330 --> 01:03:34,330
Let no man prevent it.

638
01:03:35,090 --> 01:03:39,650
You'll send out to the pie shop for some
dinner a few cutlets, I think, and a

639
01:03:39,650 --> 01:03:42,810
mutton pudding for the children and a
pint of brandy punch.

640
01:03:43,890 --> 01:03:45,550
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

641
01:04:02,410 --> 01:04:06,950
To add to the daily miseries of my own
existence, I was now haunted by the

642
01:04:06,950 --> 01:04:09,790
awful fate that had befallen Mr.
McCorber and his family.

643
01:04:10,670 --> 01:04:14,850
I imagined them shut away forever in
that dismal prison, the children growing

644
01:04:14,850 --> 01:04:18,610
up pale and thin like the roots that
sprout from a potato in a dark cupboard.

645
01:04:21,610 --> 01:04:25,750
Picture, then, my astonishment and joy,
when upon leaving the warehouse one

646
01:04:25,750 --> 01:04:27,510
night, I beheld Mr. McCorber himself.

647
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:36,360
It was a relation of Mrs.

648
01:04:36,820 --> 01:04:40,840
McCarver's, an aunt who, upon hearing of
our plight, advanced to some sufficient

649
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:44,060
to obtain our release from that place of
desolation.

650
01:04:44,380 --> 01:04:48,800
She stipulated only that we should at
once quit the modern Babylon and go down

651
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:49,800
into the country.

652
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:56,380
All aboard!

653
01:04:59,780 --> 01:05:01,580
Thanks to my aunt, we are safe.

654
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:08,940
Metropolis without taking our leave of
you master copperfield your conduct has

655
01:05:08,940 --> 01:05:14,200
always been most delicate and obliging
You have never been a soldier

656
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:18,080
You've been a friend

657
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:27,300
My

658
01:05:27,300 --> 01:05:33,460
dear copperfield farewell

659
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:36,240
every happiness and prosperity.

660
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:42,080
If in the progress of revolving years I
could persuade myself that my blighted

661
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:46,580
destiny has been a warning to you, I
should feel that our friendship, though

662
01:05:46,580 --> 01:05:48,400
brief, had not been in vain.

663
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:49,800
All aboard!

664
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:51,200
Yeah!

665
01:05:51,900 --> 01:05:55,940
Please, sir. Mr. Macorber, sir. I really
think you should go now.

666
01:05:56,160 --> 01:06:00,200
In case of anything turning up, of which
I am rather confident...

667
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:04,380
I shall be extremely happy if it should
lie in my power to improve your

668
01:06:04,380 --> 01:06:06,340
prospects. All aboard!

669
01:06:08,740 --> 01:06:10,600
Farewell! Farewell!

670
01:06:15,580 --> 01:06:16,580
Goodbye.

671
01:06:17,140 --> 01:06:18,140
Goodbye!

672
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:19,720
Farewell now!

673
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:20,980
An aunt.

674
01:06:21,380 --> 01:06:26,760
It was Mr. McCorber's mention of an aunt
that recalled to my mind that legendary

675
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:29,900
figure of my own family, Miss Betsy
Trotwood.

676
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:37,520
This aunt of yours, you say she lives
down the coast?

677
01:06:37,820 --> 01:06:38,820
Near Dover.

678
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:40,640
Dover, eh? That's far away.

679
01:06:41,380 --> 01:06:43,140
I've got money enough for the journey.

680
01:07:30,490 --> 01:07:33,170
Mick Walker, what is that in your hat?

681
01:07:33,430 --> 01:07:34,430
Nothing.

682
01:07:37,410 --> 01:07:38,550
Nothing indeed.

683
01:07:40,270 --> 01:07:44,430
How many days I was upon the road from
London to the Kent coast, I could not

684
01:07:44,430 --> 01:07:45,890
now say with any degree of accuracy.

685
01:07:46,570 --> 01:07:50,310
I had no coat to my back. My shoes were
soon kicked into holes.

686
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:54,920
and my entire worldly capital consisted
of three halfpennies which were stolen

687
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:56,300
from me by a tinker's boy.

688
01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:02,880
I remember a general sensation of my
belly hollow and groaning from hunger,

689
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:06,220
and of the way ahead appearing to
stretch into infinity.

690
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:12,280
When at last I reached my aunt's
cottage, my state was pitiful indeed.

691
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:18,120
To this hour, I don't know whether my
aunt had any lawful rights over the

692
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:21,950
patch of green in front of her cottage,
But the one great outrage of her life,

693
01:08:22,050 --> 01:08:26,250
demanding to be constantly avenged, was
the passage of a donkey over that

694
01:08:26,250 --> 01:08:27,250
immaculate spot.

695
01:08:28,830 --> 01:08:29,830
Donkeys!

696
01:08:30,330 --> 01:08:31,330
Donkeys!

697
01:08:32,270 --> 01:08:33,270
Donkeys!

698
01:08:33,750 --> 01:08:34,750
Donkeys!

699
01:08:35,290 --> 01:08:36,910
Stop with you!

700
01:08:37,229 --> 01:08:40,229
My pa'll have the law on you. You see if
he won't.

701
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,180
If you please, aunt.

702
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:03,720
What? I'm David Copperfield from
Blandaston in Suffolk and my mother's

703
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:07,300
told me how you came to see her on the
night I was born. It was midnight and

704
01:09:07,300 --> 01:09:10,160
there was a storm and you wanted me to
be a girl.

705
01:09:12,899 --> 01:09:14,200
Get in the water.

706
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:23,320
Janet, the tonic.

707
01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:33,899
Mr. Dick, here you see young David
Copperfield.

708
01:09:35,319 --> 01:09:39,160
And the question I put to you is, what
should I do with him?

709
01:09:40,140 --> 01:09:41,580
What shall you do with him?

710
01:09:47,140 --> 01:09:49,859
Oh, do with him. Yes, come.

711
01:09:50,350 --> 01:09:52,410
I want some very sound advice.

712
01:09:53,050 --> 01:09:58,250
Why, if I were you, I should wash him.

713
01:09:59,430 --> 01:10:02,010
Mr. Dick sets us all right.

714
01:10:04,150 --> 01:10:05,610
There we are, Mr. David.

715
01:10:32,910 --> 01:10:33,910
Good night, Aunt.

716
01:10:34,110 --> 01:10:36,090
Yes, yes, yes. Good night, good night.

717
01:10:46,310 --> 01:10:47,390
Yep, yep.

718
01:10:56,390 --> 01:10:59,230
We're off to Canterbury to consult with
Mr. Wickfield.

719
01:11:00,210 --> 01:11:02,110
How's this for a kite, Davey?

720
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:08,080
There's plenty of string you see and
when it flies high it carries my words

721
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:14,060
far far away That's my manner of
diffusing them

722
01:11:14,060 --> 01:11:16,740
we'll be home well before dark

723
01:11:42,330 --> 01:11:48,390
there's nothing to be said and nothing
to be done about anything until i first

724
01:11:48,390 --> 01:11:50,990
put the case to mr wickfield

725
01:11:50,990 --> 01:11:58,410
good

726
01:11:58,410 --> 01:12:03,310
day miss trotwood is mr wickfield at
home uriah heep he is

727
01:12:15,790 --> 01:12:16,790
This is my nephew.

728
01:12:17,010 --> 01:12:19,470
I should say my great-nephew, David
Copperfield.

729
01:12:21,130 --> 01:12:23,770
Honoured, I'm sure, Master Copperfield.

730
01:12:25,110 --> 01:12:26,810
Mr Wickfield is in his room.

731
01:12:27,350 --> 01:12:29,410
Yes. You stay here.

732
01:12:30,570 --> 01:12:34,830
Master Copperfield is welcome to wait in
my room, if you should catch him.

733
01:12:36,050 --> 01:12:37,890
Yes. Well, all right.

734
01:12:41,230 --> 01:12:43,630
This way, Master Copperfield.

735
01:13:23,310 --> 01:13:24,370
That is Mr.

736
01:13:25,030 --> 01:13:27,370
Wickfield's daughter, Agnes.

737
01:13:28,810 --> 01:13:31,330
Your aunt is a great admiration for Miss
Agnes.

738
01:13:33,930 --> 01:13:34,970
As do we all.

739
01:13:36,850 --> 01:13:38,610
Even so humble a person as myself.

740
01:13:39,530 --> 01:13:42,530
I suppose you're quite a great lawyer
then, Mr. Heap.

741
01:13:43,610 --> 01:13:46,650
Me, Master Copperfield? Oh dear, no, no.

742
01:13:47,530 --> 01:13:50,370
I'm the very humblest person going,
Master Copperfield.

743
01:13:50,830 --> 01:13:54,810
My mother, likewise, was a very humble
person. My father's former calling was

744
01:13:54,810 --> 01:13:55,810
humble.

745
01:13:55,870 --> 01:13:57,210
He was a sexton.

746
01:13:58,670 --> 01:13:59,810
What is he now?

747
01:14:00,170 --> 01:14:03,370
He is a partaker of glory at present,
Master Copperfield.

748
01:14:07,030 --> 01:14:08,790
Dead, Mr Heap.

749
01:14:10,070 --> 01:14:12,010
Alas, Master Copperfield.

750
01:14:13,090 --> 01:14:15,470
How long have you been with Mr
Wickfield?

751
01:14:15,970 --> 01:14:18,350
Going on for a year, Master Copperfield.

752
01:14:19,010 --> 01:14:20,010
Why, thank you.

753
01:14:20,430 --> 01:14:21,430
For the inquiry.

754
01:14:21,850 --> 01:14:24,850
I expect you'll be a partner in the
business one day.

755
01:14:25,230 --> 01:14:26,530
Wickfield and Heap.

756
01:14:29,090 --> 01:14:31,070
Oh no, Master Gotterfield.

757
01:14:31,530 --> 01:14:33,150
I'm far too humble for that.

758
01:14:41,790 --> 01:14:44,230
Has anything been decided yet, Aunt?

759
01:14:46,770 --> 01:14:48,490
No. Nothing yet.

760
01:14:50,940 --> 01:14:57,220
Generally speaking, persons who run away
from things are not popular with me. You

761
01:14:57,220 --> 01:15:02,000
must grasp the nettle of life, and it
won't sting you.

762
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:05,680
Miss Trotwood, this unhappy boy has a
sullen and rebellious spirit, a

763
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:10,000
violent temper, and an untoward and
intractable disposition.

764
01:16:10,620 --> 01:16:14,240
Of all the boys in the world, I believe
this is the worst boy.

765
01:16:15,660 --> 01:16:18,540
Strong, but not at all strong for the
facts, ma'am.

766
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:23,140
I am come to take him back, ma'am.

767
01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:25,660
To take him back unconditionally.

768
01:16:26,570 --> 01:16:32,270
to dispose of him as I think proper, and
to deal with him as I think right.

769
01:16:34,450 --> 01:16:36,930
Really? I must caution you, Miss
Trotwood.

770
01:16:37,950 --> 01:16:42,030
If you step in between him and me now,
you step in forever.

771
01:16:44,010 --> 01:16:45,010
What?

772
01:16:46,050 --> 01:16:47,750
I will not travel.

773
01:16:48,550 --> 01:16:49,830
Is he ready to go?

774
01:16:51,230 --> 01:16:55,450
For if he is not, my door will be closed
against him forever.

775
01:16:56,620 --> 01:16:59,980
And I take it for granted that yours is
open on the same basis.

776
01:17:02,180 --> 01:17:03,620
Good Lord.

777
01:17:04,300 --> 01:17:05,300
David?

778
01:17:06,340 --> 01:17:07,520
Are you ready to go?

779
01:17:08,460 --> 01:17:09,460
Please, aunt.

780
01:17:09,540 --> 01:17:12,860
I beg of you with all my heart, please
don't make me go with him.

781
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:15,760
Mr.

782
01:17:16,180 --> 01:17:19,060
Dick! What shall I do with this boy?

783
01:17:22,890 --> 01:17:25,730
Have him measured for a suit of clothes
directly.

784
01:17:27,130 --> 01:17:33,070
Oh, mister, give me your hand. Your
common sense is invaluable.

785
01:17:33,490 --> 01:17:34,730
Yes, it is.

786
01:17:35,590 --> 01:17:41,390
Don't think I don't know what kind of
life you must have led that poor,

787
01:17:41,550 --> 01:17:47,730
unhappy, misdirected baby. His mother
smirking and

788
01:17:47,730 --> 01:17:52,970
lurking, making eyes at her. I'll be
bound as if you... I wouldn't say boo to

789
01:17:52,970 --> 01:17:53,789
a goose.

790
01:17:53,790 --> 01:17:57,110
I never heard anything so elegant in my
life.

791
01:17:57,570 --> 01:18:02,270
Miss Cotwood, if you were a gentleman...
Stop the nonsense.

792
01:18:02,650 --> 01:18:03,710
Don't talk to me.

793
01:18:03,990 --> 01:18:05,910
What a choice of words.

794
01:18:06,290 --> 01:18:12,230
And as for you, madam, let me see you
ride a donkey across my green again, and

795
01:18:12,230 --> 01:18:15,330
as sure as you have a head on your
shoulders, I'll knock your bonnet off

796
01:18:15,330 --> 01:18:16,330
and tread on it.

797
01:18:16,530 --> 01:18:21,110
I never heard anything like this person
in my life.

798
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:32,220
Mr. Dick, the gate.

799
01:18:34,280 --> 01:18:35,840
No, no, no, no, no.

800
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:43,400
Mr. Dick, consider yourself guardian to
this child, jointly with myself.

801
01:18:43,940 --> 01:18:44,940
Guardian?

802
01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:46,840
Jointly?

803
01:18:47,620 --> 01:18:48,620
Delighted.

804
01:18:49,500 --> 01:18:50,640
Yes, very well.

805
01:18:51,140 --> 01:18:55,640
I've been thinking I might call you
Trotwood.

806
01:18:56,640 --> 01:18:58,200
Trotwood Copperfield.

807
01:18:59,340 --> 01:19:00,620
How would that suit you?

808
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:08,680
Thus, I began my new life.

809
01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:12,140
In a new name, and with everything new
about me.

810
01:19:13,060 --> 01:19:16,460
I drew a curtain down upon my life at
Murdstone and Grimby.

811
01:19:17,480 --> 01:19:21,240
Even in this narrative, I have lifted it
with a reluctant hand.

812
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:27,220
My aunt sent me to Dr. Strong's school
in Canterbury.

813
01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:31,820
and during term time I lodged with Mr.
Wickfield and his daughter Agnes.

814
01:19:34,180 --> 01:19:35,180
Agnes.

815
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:40,500
Her mother had died in giving her birth,
and like me she was an only child.

816
01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:47,980
She quickly became my greatest friend,
my wisest counsellor, my dearest sister.

817
01:20:14,830 --> 01:20:16,470
And so the years passed.

818
01:20:18,290 --> 01:20:22,730
When I was grown to something like man's
estate, my aunt decided I should be a

819
01:20:22,730 --> 01:20:27,290
lawyer, sent me to London, and purchased
articles for me in the firm of Spello

820
01:20:27,290 --> 01:20:29,190
and Jorkins of Doctors' Commons.

821
01:20:43,610 --> 01:20:44,610
Copperfield.

822
01:20:48,970 --> 01:20:52,030
Excellent. Come in, come in.

823
01:20:59,110 --> 01:21:01,910
On the desk, if you please, Copperfield.

824
01:21:04,150 --> 01:21:09,830
To the Lord Chancellor's office, if you
please.

825
01:21:13,580 --> 01:21:14,580
Quick as your knife.

826
01:21:21,340 --> 01:21:25,060
Sir, I'm terribly sorry. My dear sir, I
do apologise.

827
01:21:25,460 --> 01:21:26,580
No, no, it was my fault, absolutely.

828
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:28,360
I'm terribly sorry.

829
01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:31,120
Traddles?

830
01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:34,320
Copperfield?

831
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:37,080
David Copperfield? How are you?

832
01:21:37,660 --> 01:21:38,880
It's wonderful to see you.

833
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:42,500
Can you tell I'm still, uh... Oh, you're
still pretty much the same as you were

834
01:21:42,500 --> 01:21:45,980
before. It was Tommy Traddles indeed, my
old school friend.

835
01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:53,020
My aunt had found lodgings for me in
Buckingham Street and made me a modest

836
01:21:53,020 --> 01:21:54,120
but sufficient allowance.

837
01:21:54,600 --> 01:21:58,780
And as I was about to take a short
holiday, my employer, Mr. Spenlow, had

838
01:21:58,780 --> 01:22:00,680
invited me to pass a night at his
country house.

839
01:22:03,260 --> 01:22:04,260
Handsome, eh?

840
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:08,000
Fletcher versus Fletcher.

841
01:22:10,350 --> 01:22:14,330
A dispute between two cousins over a
boundary.

842
01:22:19,850 --> 01:22:22,690
Fletcher versus Fletcher.

843
01:22:23,310 --> 01:22:24,730
Highly lucrative.

844
01:22:25,010 --> 01:22:28,590
But then, of course, the very best sort
of professional business is...

845
01:22:28,970 --> 01:22:30,470
A disputed will.

846
01:22:30,790 --> 01:22:36,150
Very pretty pickings indeed to be had
there in the way of argument and counter

847
01:22:36,150 --> 01:22:40,150
-argument and the evidence of
interrogatory and counter-interrogatory

848
01:22:40,150 --> 01:22:41,570
and so on.

849
01:22:41,790 --> 01:22:48,790
And since the costs invariably come out
of the estate itself, both sides can go

850
01:22:48,790 --> 01:22:52,210
at it in a lively and spirited manner
with expense.

851
01:22:53,110 --> 01:22:55,390
No consideration at all.

852
01:23:37,160 --> 01:23:40,440
Welcome to my lovely, sweltering home.

853
01:23:40,720 --> 01:23:41,720
Oh,

854
01:23:42,440 --> 01:23:43,540
my beautiful wife.

855
01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:46,980
Absolutely remarkable house.

856
01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:01,600
Copperfield.

857
01:24:02,820 --> 01:24:05,720
My daughter, Dora.

858
01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:22,600
I was swallowed up in an abyss.

859
01:24:22,840 --> 01:24:26,520
There was no pausing on the brink, no
looking down or back.

860
01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:28,700
I was gone headlong.

861
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:32,240
I loved Dora Spenlow to distraction.

862
01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:40,100
And then... And this is her confidential
friend and companion, Miss Murdstone.

863
01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:43,500
Alas, Dora has no mother living.

864
01:24:43,940 --> 01:24:46,400
I'm already acquainted with Mr
Copperfield.

865
01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:48,920
It was in his childish years.

866
01:24:50,790 --> 01:24:53,650
Circumstances have separated us since.

867
01:24:55,050 --> 01:24:56,770
I should never have known him.

868
01:25:00,430 --> 01:25:02,430
How she enchanted me.

869
01:25:02,850 --> 01:25:05,790
I was lost in blissful delirium.

870
01:25:06,090 --> 01:25:07,930
But not quite lost.

871
01:25:08,370 --> 01:25:11,270
There was still that spectre hovering.

872
01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:10,640
All right.

873
01:26:43,950 --> 01:26:45,410
David Copperfield, a word.

874
01:26:47,290 --> 01:26:51,110
I won't attempt to disguise the fact
that I formed an unfavorable opinion of

875
01:26:51,110 --> 01:26:52,110
you in your childhood.

876
01:26:52,770 --> 01:26:54,410
It may have been a mistaken one.

877
01:26:55,050 --> 01:26:59,050
Or you may have ceased to justify it.
That is not the question between us now.

878
01:27:00,430 --> 01:27:02,350
I may have my opinion of you.

879
01:27:02,770 --> 01:27:04,670
You may have your opinion of me.

880
01:27:06,070 --> 01:27:09,570
But it is not necessary that those
opinions should come into conflict.

881
01:27:11,230 --> 01:27:12,810
It would be better if they did not.

882
01:27:15,610 --> 01:27:21,110
Let us therefore meet here as mere
distant acquaintances.

883
01:27:22,750 --> 01:27:23,750
Do you agree?

884
01:27:25,100 --> 01:27:27,160
I said I would return, Mr. Copperfield.

885
01:27:28,660 --> 01:27:31,480
Are you and Miss Mudstone talking over
old times?

886
01:27:32,060 --> 01:27:33,060
Old times?

887
01:27:34,100 --> 01:27:35,380
Hardly that, Dora, my dear.

888
01:27:35,620 --> 01:27:37,880
Our acquaintance was very slight.

889
01:27:38,540 --> 01:27:40,060
Was it not, Mr. Copperfield?

890
01:27:42,060 --> 01:27:46,340
That was the moment to speak out, to say
the truth. No, shout it.

891
01:27:48,740 --> 01:27:49,740
Very slight.

892
01:27:56,650 --> 01:27:59,950
There was triumph in her eyes and
contempt.

893
01:28:04,130 --> 01:28:05,430
I can see it now.

894
01:28:06,070 --> 01:28:08,030
I can acknowledge the justice of it.

895
01:28:08,390 --> 01:28:11,230
I'd taken the easy path, the coward's
path.

896
01:28:15,090 --> 01:28:19,750
Dear God, what evil was to flow from
that fatal weakness?

897
01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:46,600
Ah, Miss Venlo. I'm surprised to see you
out here so early.

898
01:28:47,700 --> 01:28:49,260
It's the brightest time of the day.

899
01:28:49,860 --> 01:28:50,860
Don't you think so?

900
01:28:51,380 --> 01:28:52,420
It's bright to me now.

901
01:28:54,160 --> 01:28:56,120
The moment before, it was not so bright.

902
01:28:56,740 --> 01:28:57,740
Do you mean a compliment?

903
01:28:58,180 --> 01:28:59,260
Or has the weather changed?

904
01:29:00,580 --> 01:29:02,180
I'm not aware of any change in weather.

905
01:29:05,260 --> 01:29:07,380
You've just come home from Paris, I
believe. Yes.

906
01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:08,920
Have you been there?

907
01:29:09,140 --> 01:29:10,140
No, no.

908
01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:11,960
Oh, you should go. You would love it so
much.

909
01:29:13,740 --> 01:29:15,660
Do you travel a great deal, Mr
Copperfield?

910
01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:20,200
Well, I'm going down to Yarmouth in a
day or two to see old friends.

911
01:29:21,540 --> 01:29:24,080
Yarmouth is quite on the coast, is it
not?

912
01:29:25,540 --> 01:29:26,540
Yes.

913
01:29:27,220 --> 01:29:28,219
Miss Spenlow.

914
01:29:28,220 --> 01:29:29,220
Dora!

915
01:29:29,620 --> 01:29:30,620
Dora!

916
01:29:32,660 --> 01:29:33,660
Tiresome creature.

917
01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:37,300
I can't think why Papa chose such a
vexatious thing to be my companion.

918
01:29:43,470 --> 01:29:47,190
It is very disagreeable having such a
gloomy old person always following one

919
01:29:47,190 --> 01:29:50,670
about. Here, perhaps you should say
something to your father.

920
01:29:50,890 --> 01:29:51,890
I wouldn't dare.

921
01:29:52,370 --> 01:29:53,650
Your father wants you.

922
01:29:55,090 --> 01:29:56,090
Hurry now.

923
01:30:00,970 --> 01:30:02,190
Goodbye, Mr Copperfield.

924
01:30:07,930 --> 01:30:12,130
Remember, we meet here as mere distant
acquaintances.

925
01:30:12,880 --> 01:30:13,900
The past is buried.

926
01:30:15,440 --> 01:30:19,980
I barely heard her. Mr. Copperfield. My
head was full of Dora.

927
01:30:21,380 --> 01:30:23,180
Dora. Mr. Copperfield. Dora.

928
01:30:24,080 --> 01:30:26,300
Dora. Do you hear me, Mr. Copperfield?

929
01:30:26,980 --> 01:30:30,400
I returned to my lodgings in town in a
sort of trance.

930
01:30:31,600 --> 01:30:35,820
I made some attempts to work at the book
I was writing, but it was no good,

931
01:30:35,920 --> 01:30:39,840
because in every sentence the word Dora
would inadvertently appear.

932
01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:44,900
At length, I determined to seek
distraction at the playhouse.

933
01:30:58,360 --> 01:30:59,480
Mr. Mudstone.

934
01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:01,560
David.

935
01:31:05,040 --> 01:31:06,160
You're going out?

936
01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:10,800
I... I was going to the play.

937
01:31:14,190 --> 01:31:15,470
I shall not detain you.

938
01:31:17,530 --> 01:31:21,090
I received a note from my sister this
afternoon.

939
01:31:21,850 --> 01:31:25,290
The chances of life, it seems, have
brought you together again.

940
01:31:27,310 --> 01:31:28,310
Yes.

941
01:31:30,090 --> 01:31:34,830
My sister has no wish to revive the
memory of past...

942
01:31:34,830 --> 01:31:37,210
differences?

943
01:31:39,850 --> 01:31:42,350
I've already agreed as such with Miss
Murdstone.

944
01:31:43,690 --> 01:31:45,930
You will honor that agreement, I hope,
David.

945
01:31:50,990 --> 01:31:57,550
You may imagine that you have much to
tell of her, and of me, to our

946
01:31:57,550 --> 01:31:58,550
detriment.

947
01:32:00,550 --> 01:32:05,770
But equally, we have much we could say
about you.

948
01:32:07,250 --> 01:32:12,410
Can you think that I would wish to
resurrect the past, Mr. Murdston?

949
01:32:15,880 --> 01:32:18,140
It is far too painful to me.

950
01:32:20,760 --> 01:32:22,260
Then I shall detain you.

951
01:32:23,040 --> 01:32:24,040
No further.

952
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:37,560
The present, Mrs. Murdstone.

953
01:32:38,860 --> 01:32:41,300
I would crave the honor of making her
known to you.

954
01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:44,920
But I must not keep you from the play.

955
01:32:52,520 --> 01:32:55,900
That pale, forlorn figure haunts me to
this day.

956
01:32:57,060 --> 01:32:58,560
I knew what her life was.

957
01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:03,120
I knew how he was crushing the spirit
from her, as he had done to my poor

958
01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:04,120
mother.

959
01:33:05,180 --> 01:33:12,160
I wanted to speak, but I dared not, and
knew not what to say.

960
01:33:25,390 --> 01:33:27,010
So I went to the play.

961
01:33:27,970 --> 01:33:32,010
As I came out after the performance, I
encountered another ghost of my

962
01:33:32,010 --> 01:33:36,570
childhood. But here was no grim spectre
to resurrect all the pain of it, but a

963
01:33:36,570 --> 01:33:40,050
bright spirit to revive the few fleeting
moments of content.

964
01:33:40,470 --> 01:33:42,550
It was James Steerforth.

965
01:33:44,450 --> 01:33:47,790
Steerforth! My friend and protector of
Salem House School.

966
01:33:48,390 --> 01:33:49,390
Steerforth!

967
01:33:53,070 --> 01:33:54,410
Steerforth! Wait!

968
01:33:55,760 --> 01:33:57,020
It is. Steerforth.

969
01:34:07,400 --> 01:34:09,120
You don't recognize me, I'm afraid.

970
01:34:11,480 --> 01:34:13,820
Oh, my God, it's little Copperfield.

971
01:34:14,660 --> 01:34:17,520
Well, you're just what you always were,
now I look at you, not changed in the

972
01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:19,440
least. My dearest Steerforth.

973
01:34:19,960 --> 01:34:22,320
I never, never, never was so glad.

974
01:34:23,130 --> 01:34:25,850
I'm overjoyed to see you again. What the
devil are you doing here?

975
01:34:26,090 --> 01:34:27,090
I was at the play.

976
01:34:27,190 --> 01:34:29,490
What a delightful and magnificent
entertainment.

977
01:34:30,510 --> 01:34:37,410
My dear young Davy... You're a daisy.

978
01:34:38,170 --> 01:34:40,250
A daisy at the field of sunrise.

979
01:34:40,550 --> 01:34:41,970
It is not fresher than you are.

980
01:34:42,730 --> 01:34:46,810
I thought it was the worst play I ever
saw in my life.

981
01:34:47,830 --> 01:34:49,770
It was a perfectly miserable business.

982
01:34:55,210 --> 01:34:57,430
Forgive me, Stifforth. The wine door was
closed.

983
01:34:57,670 --> 01:34:59,330
I had to go to the tavern.

984
01:34:59,590 --> 01:35:01,210
Are you writing a book, Daisy?

985
01:35:01,950 --> 01:35:02,950
Oh, it's nothing.

986
01:35:03,430 --> 01:35:04,530
Stories and sketches.

987
01:35:04,830 --> 01:35:05,930
You always loved books.

988
01:35:08,410 --> 01:35:09,530
And romances.

989
01:35:11,330 --> 01:35:13,870
I remember when you used to read to me.

990
01:35:15,590 --> 01:35:17,210
Not much use to company, I'm afraid.

991
01:35:17,930 --> 01:35:19,170
When do you go to Yarmouth?

992
01:35:19,870 --> 01:35:20,870
Tomorrow.

993
01:35:22,370 --> 01:35:24,410
London's devilish style at the moment.

994
01:35:25,260 --> 01:35:26,940
And I have some thoughts of buying a
boat.

995
01:35:27,700 --> 01:35:29,940
If you could bear my company, I'll come
down with you.

996
01:35:31,460 --> 01:35:34,540
My dear Steerforth, I'd be honored and
delighted.

997
01:35:35,760 --> 01:35:37,200
Well, that's settled, then.

998
01:35:39,940 --> 01:35:43,820
And so we went together on that fateful
journey.

999
01:35:44,880 --> 01:35:46,380
I'll see you shortly. Take care.

1000
01:35:47,860 --> 01:35:49,820
Upon our arrival, we parted.

1001
01:35:50,280 --> 01:35:54,680
Steerforth to explore the town. I to see
Peggy and her husband, Barkis.

1002
01:35:55,080 --> 01:35:56,080
who was ailing.

1003
01:36:07,860 --> 01:36:08,860
Baby!

1004
01:36:09,480 --> 01:36:12,340
Oh my darling boy!

1005
01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:20,040
Let me look at you!

1006
01:36:26,280 --> 01:36:27,840
Barcus will be so glad.

1007
01:36:28,520 --> 01:36:30,800
It'll do him more good than a pint of
liniment.

1008
01:36:31,100 --> 01:36:32,100
How is he?

1009
01:36:32,740 --> 01:36:33,740
Bad.

1010
01:36:34,060 --> 01:36:35,060
Very bad.

1011
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:37,060
It's the rheumatics.

1012
01:36:38,020 --> 01:36:39,780
Will you come up and see him, my dear?

1013
01:36:42,240 --> 01:36:46,120
Well, Barcus, here's medicine for you.

1014
01:36:59,150 --> 01:37:00,150
Master David?

1015
01:37:01,610 --> 01:37:02,850
That you, sir?

1016
01:37:03,190 --> 01:37:04,610
It is, Mr. Barkis.

1017
01:37:05,350 --> 01:37:06,350
Oh.

1018
01:37:07,890 --> 01:37:12,270
You will forgive me for not shaking
hands, sir.

1019
01:37:16,950 --> 01:37:23,770
But if you was to shake the tarsal of my
nightcap, I'd

1020
01:37:23,770 --> 01:37:24,770
take it friendly.

1021
01:37:35,970 --> 01:37:40,750
I'm sorry to see you like this, Mr.
Barkis. Well, I'd be sorry for myself,

1022
01:37:40,890 --> 01:37:41,890
sir.

1023
01:37:43,810 --> 01:37:45,610
If it weren't for a certain lady.

1024
01:37:51,190 --> 01:37:54,330
She's the usefulest and best of all
women, sir.

1025
01:37:54,810 --> 01:37:56,530
The CP Barkis.

1026
01:37:57,590 --> 01:37:58,950
No Barkis.

1027
01:37:59,370 --> 01:38:00,750
And that's true, sir.

1028
01:38:02,490 --> 01:38:04,310
That's as true as turnips is.

1029
01:38:06,800 --> 01:38:08,440
It's as true as taxes is.

1030
01:38:09,700 --> 01:38:11,660
And nothing's truer than them.

1031
01:38:17,740 --> 01:38:22,200
A wild place, is it not, Stif? The sea
roars as if it were hungry for us.

1032
01:38:24,700 --> 01:38:25,700
There it is.

1033
01:38:33,880 --> 01:38:34,880
It's little Emily.

1034
01:38:46,830 --> 01:38:47,830
Master Davy?

1035
01:38:48,590 --> 01:38:50,210
This is my friend, Steerforth.

1036
01:38:51,050 --> 01:38:52,830
Steerforth, this is Emily. I think I've
mentioned her.

1037
01:38:53,490 --> 01:38:55,150
You were Daisy's childhood friend.

1038
01:38:55,470 --> 01:38:57,270
You played together and dreamed
together.

1039
01:38:57,770 --> 01:39:00,270
He was to be a great writer and you were
a fine lady.

1040
01:39:00,550 --> 01:39:01,750
You told him that?

1041
01:39:03,270 --> 01:39:04,430
How else would I know?

1042
01:39:05,270 --> 01:39:06,710
It were a foolish dream.

1043
01:39:07,950 --> 01:39:08,950
I'm older now.

1044
01:39:09,270 --> 01:39:10,270
And wiser.

1045
01:39:11,610 --> 01:39:12,610
I hope so.

1046
01:39:13,650 --> 01:39:15,770
We trade our dreams for what we call
wisdom.

1047
01:39:16,680 --> 01:39:19,360
I wonder, is it a good exchange?

1048
01:39:22,240 --> 01:39:23,660
Master Davy!

1049
01:39:25,480 --> 01:39:29,240
Master Davy! Master Davy!

1050
01:39:31,640 --> 01:39:32,640
Davy!

1051
01:39:33,520 --> 01:39:37,680
This little Emily of ours ain't my
daughter, sir.

1052
01:39:37,920 --> 01:39:39,920
So I understand, Mr. Peggerton.

1053
01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:42,640
But I couldn't love her more.

1054
01:39:43,060 --> 01:39:44,480
Well, I'm sure you couldn't.

1055
01:39:45,240 --> 01:39:52,200
Now... There's a certain person that has
known our

1056
01:39:52,200 --> 01:39:56,360
little Emily ever since the time her
father was drownded. Not much of a

1057
01:39:56,360 --> 01:39:57,440
person to look at.

1058
01:39:57,760 --> 01:40:00,320
Something of my build. Rough.

1059
01:40:00,840 --> 01:40:04,440
Good deal of the Sal Wester about him.
Very salt.

1060
01:40:05,260 --> 01:40:07,360
But he's a decent enough person.

1061
01:40:07,700 --> 01:40:09,440
And his heart's in the right place.

1062
01:40:10,640 --> 01:40:15,950
Now... What do you think this here
blessed tarpaulin go and do?

1063
01:40:16,430 --> 01:40:20,610
He loses that there art of his to our
little Amelie.

1064
01:40:20,970 --> 01:40:26,950
All of a sudden, one evening, comes
Amelie from her work and him with her.

1065
01:40:28,410 --> 01:40:31,270
Now look here, he cries out, joyful.

1066
01:40:32,170 --> 01:40:34,470
This is to be my little wife.

1067
01:40:35,150 --> 01:40:38,910
And she says, half bold, half shy.

1068
01:40:39,610 --> 01:40:40,630
Yes, uncle.

1069
01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:42,200
If you please.

1070
01:40:43,800 --> 01:40:46,100
If I please.

1071
01:40:47,360 --> 01:40:53,580
Will you take up your glasses, one and
all? Oh, and for you, Mrs. Gummidge.

1072
01:40:55,160 --> 01:41:00,060
I gives you our Emily and her am.

1073
01:41:00,740 --> 01:41:02,220
Emily and her am.

1074
01:41:12,910 --> 01:41:14,850
Most engaging little beauty, am I?

1075
01:41:16,070 --> 01:41:18,470
He's a rather chocolate-headed fellow,
though, isn't he?

1076
01:41:20,410 --> 01:41:23,830
Still, it's a quaint place, and they
certainly are quaint company.

1077
01:41:24,490 --> 01:41:28,930
And it's quite a new sensation, the
mixed room.

1078
01:41:31,470 --> 01:41:36,190
The next day, I took the coach to
Blunderston, to the graveyard where my

1079
01:41:36,190 --> 01:41:38,650
father and mother lay side by side.

1080
01:41:40,110 --> 01:41:45,410
The breeze in the yew trees seemed to
whisper of old days, those happy days

1081
01:41:45,410 --> 01:41:47,630
before my mother married Mr. Murdston.

1082
01:41:48,470 --> 01:41:50,670
And something else it seemed to whisper.

1083
01:41:51,770 --> 01:41:52,870
A name.

1084
01:41:53,670 --> 01:41:56,810
The name Dora Spenlow.

1085
01:41:59,870 --> 01:42:04,290
I got back to Yarmouth earlier than
expected, my head still full of that

1086
01:42:04,290 --> 01:42:07,310
name, which to my fevered fancy sounded
like a spell.

1087
01:42:08,710 --> 01:42:09,830
Anyway, it's been a delight.

1088
01:42:10,670 --> 01:42:11,710
I'll see you soon.

1089
01:42:14,790 --> 01:42:15,790
Daisy!

1090
01:42:18,430 --> 01:42:19,430
You're back!

1091
01:42:25,370 --> 01:42:28,390
We met by chance in the street.

1092
01:42:29,210 --> 01:42:31,630
Charming little creature. Pity she never
had an education.

1093
01:42:33,290 --> 01:42:34,750
Listen, Daisy.

1094
01:42:38,380 --> 01:42:41,480
If anything should ever happen, separate
us.

1095
01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:44,400
You must always think of me at my best,
old boy.

1096
01:42:45,240 --> 01:42:46,820
Steerforth. No, come.

1097
01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:50,180
Let us make that bargain.

1098
01:42:50,600 --> 01:42:53,280
You have no best to me, Steerforth, no
worst.

1099
01:42:54,240 --> 01:42:55,780
You're loved equally in my heart.

1100
01:42:57,720 --> 01:42:58,720
Good.

1101
01:42:59,100 --> 01:43:00,100
Good.

1102
01:43:11,210 --> 01:43:12,750
Do you like music, Mr Copperfield?

1103
01:43:13,370 --> 01:43:14,470
It's very beautiful.

1104
01:43:18,270 --> 01:43:19,270
Miss Spenlow.

1105
01:43:19,510 --> 01:43:21,130
I like this piece very much.

1106
01:43:21,890 --> 01:43:23,510
But it makes me so sad.

1107
01:43:26,330 --> 01:43:27,330
Dora.

1108
01:43:31,590 --> 01:43:33,290
My dearest, dearest Dora.

1109
01:43:33,990 --> 01:43:34,990
I love you.

1110
01:43:35,970 --> 01:43:39,770
I've loved you every minute of every day
and every night since I first saw you,

1111
01:43:39,810 --> 01:43:40,810
Dora.

1112
01:43:41,680 --> 01:43:42,700
I'll die without you.

1113
01:43:43,280 --> 01:43:44,280
Don't kill me.

1114
01:43:44,740 --> 01:43:46,920
Say you love me too. Say you'll be mine.

1115
01:43:47,400 --> 01:43:49,380
I can't marry without Papa's consent.

1116
01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:52,960
Dora, you mean?

1117
01:43:54,240 --> 01:43:56,100
Dora, my beloved.

1118
01:43:57,220 --> 01:43:59,840
Let's go now and ask him. No, that's too
soon.

1119
01:44:00,220 --> 01:44:01,720
Once you're established in the law.

1120
01:44:01,980 --> 01:44:03,260
But that could take years.

1121
01:44:03,520 --> 01:44:06,620
And I'm dying of love for you. We must
be careful.

1122
01:44:07,300 --> 01:44:09,240
Papa would get cross. I know he would.

1123
01:44:15,980 --> 01:44:16,980
Don't look sad.

1124
01:44:17,740 --> 01:44:19,060
We will meet often.

1125
01:44:19,760 --> 01:44:21,000
And you may write to me.

1126
01:44:22,360 --> 01:44:23,360
I may.

1127
01:44:23,820 --> 01:44:25,900
But in secret, always in secret.

1128
01:44:26,380 --> 01:44:28,820
You must address your letters to my maid
Hetty.

1129
01:44:32,860 --> 01:44:33,860
Dora.

1130
01:44:34,400 --> 01:44:36,160
Dora. Dora, my angel.

1131
01:45:10,680 --> 01:45:13,240
Good evening, Mr. Wickfield. David, this
is Mr. Wardle.

1132
01:45:13,620 --> 01:45:14,620
David, sir?

1133
01:45:14,920 --> 01:45:16,840
I saw your aunt last week. She was well.

1134
01:45:18,020 --> 01:45:19,020
She's always well.

1135
01:45:20,120 --> 01:45:21,460
I won't keep you from Agnes.

1136
01:45:22,180 --> 01:45:23,180
She's just over there.

1137
01:45:24,160 --> 01:45:25,160
Thank you, sir.

1138
01:45:27,580 --> 01:45:29,900
They've always been like brothers, you
see, Steve. Oh, right.

1139
01:45:36,720 --> 01:45:37,679
Excuse me.

1140
01:45:37,680 --> 01:45:38,880
Trotwood. Agnes.

1141
01:45:39,180 --> 01:45:40,640
How good it is to see you again.

1142
01:45:41,100 --> 01:45:43,260
Now, I must have your news quick, Trot,
before we're interrupted.

1143
01:45:44,300 --> 01:45:46,320
First, how do you like Doctor's
comments?

1144
01:45:46,700 --> 01:45:48,660
Second, are you still writing that book
of yours?

1145
01:45:49,240 --> 01:45:51,760
And third, who are you in love with?

1146
01:45:55,360 --> 01:45:58,220
As to your first, I like Doctor's
comments very well.

1147
01:45:58,800 --> 01:46:02,300
As to your second, I fear my book will
never be finished.

1148
01:46:03,340 --> 01:46:05,140
And as to your third...

1149
01:46:05,790 --> 01:46:07,250
Why should you think I'm in love with
anybody?

1150
01:46:08,050 --> 01:46:09,910
Are we not as brother and sister, Trot?

1151
01:46:10,270 --> 01:46:11,270
Don't I know you?

1152
01:46:13,090 --> 01:46:14,090
Perhaps I've changed.

1153
01:46:20,790 --> 01:46:24,270
Why, Trotwood, I do believe you are in
love.

1154
01:46:27,530 --> 01:46:30,250
But certainly you may not give yourself
over to it till you have finished your

1155
01:46:30,250 --> 01:46:32,090
book. Why do you say you never will?

1156
01:46:33,800 --> 01:46:36,540
It's a hopeless jumble of stories and
sketches.

1157
01:46:36,960 --> 01:46:38,620
Is there not some common theme?

1158
01:46:39,460 --> 01:46:40,460
Well, yes.

1159
01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:42,000
What?

1160
01:46:42,820 --> 01:46:43,820
Modern life.

1161
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:46,040
My idea is to turn them into a novel.

1162
01:46:47,060 --> 01:46:48,140
But I know not how.

1163
01:46:48,680 --> 01:46:49,680
Well, then don't.

1164
01:46:49,880 --> 01:46:51,320
Let them stand as they are.

1165
01:46:52,380 --> 01:46:55,540
Call them sketches of modern life.

1166
01:46:57,440 --> 01:46:58,920
But there aren't enough to make a book.

1167
01:46:59,560 --> 01:47:00,560
Write some more.

1168
01:47:06,549 --> 01:47:07,590
Master Copperfield.

1169
01:47:09,690 --> 01:47:12,630
Oh, well, Mr Copperfield, I should say.

1170
01:47:13,590 --> 01:47:14,590
Uriah Heep?

1171
01:47:15,230 --> 01:47:17,470
Only the other comes so natural.

1172
01:47:18,330 --> 01:47:22,990
Yes. How are you? Oh, honoured indeed,
sir, to be noticed by you in such

1173
01:47:22,990 --> 01:47:28,070
company. I mean, so many great stars of
the legal firmament. One is quite

1174
01:47:28,070 --> 01:47:30,970
crushed by a feeling of extreme
humbleness. My father.

1175
01:47:36,590 --> 01:47:40,150
Unwanted, it seems. If you will excuse
me, Master. No, Mr.

1176
01:47:40,630 --> 01:47:41,630
Cotterfield.

1177
01:47:44,730 --> 01:47:46,510
What the devil is he doing here?

1178
01:47:47,350 --> 01:47:48,850
Papa has made him his partner.

1179
01:47:56,630 --> 01:47:57,630
It's true.

1180
01:47:58,390 --> 01:47:59,390
But how?

1181
01:47:59,610 --> 01:48:00,610
Why?

1182
01:48:01,930 --> 01:48:03,730
He's mastered my poor father's
weaknesses.

1183
01:48:04,410 --> 01:48:05,410
Lost them.

1184
01:48:05,640 --> 01:48:09,320
Taken advantage of them until...

1185
01:48:09,320 --> 01:48:15,520
Vipara's afraid of him.

1186
01:48:18,020 --> 01:48:21,160
For my sake, for Vipara's sake, be
friendly to Uriah.

1187
01:48:22,480 --> 01:48:24,100
I must take her from you, Trotwood.

1188
01:49:03,460 --> 01:49:04,460
Good copperfield.

1189
01:49:06,320 --> 01:49:09,180
Delightful. Come and meet Sir George
Dixon.

1190
01:49:10,220 --> 01:49:13,660
George. I'm the Spenlow, don't you? I
know a fellow.

1191
01:49:14,180 --> 01:49:16,140
Dearest, dearest Dora. Be careful.

1192
01:49:16,480 --> 01:49:17,680
If the past you suspect.

1193
01:49:20,400 --> 01:49:21,840
I never dreamt you might be here.

1194
01:49:22,420 --> 01:49:26,020
Papa would bring me to think how I
resisted and complained.

1195
01:49:27,020 --> 01:49:28,160
Did you get my letter?

1196
01:49:29,760 --> 01:49:30,760
Hush. Did you?

1197
01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:32,760
Foolish boy.

1198
01:49:33,000 --> 01:49:34,380
Such a flood of words.

1199
01:49:35,760 --> 01:49:38,040
I swear I didn't understand one half of
them.

1200
01:49:43,380 --> 01:49:44,380
Trot?

1201
01:49:46,160 --> 01:49:47,160
Dora.

1202
01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:48,360
Miss Penlow.

1203
01:49:48,650 --> 01:49:49,990
May I present Mrs. Wickfield.

1204
01:49:50,830 --> 01:49:51,930
Agnes, this is Miss Spenlow.

1205
01:49:52,530 --> 01:49:55,270
When I was at school at Canterbury, I
lodged with Miss Wickfield and her

1206
01:49:55,270 --> 01:49:56,270
father. How nice.

1207
01:49:56,470 --> 01:49:58,310
Have you recently arrived, Miss Spenlow?
Just now.

1208
01:49:58,690 --> 01:50:03,430
Excuse me, ladies of Copperfield. I want
you to meet Sir George Dixon.

1209
01:50:05,550 --> 01:50:06,550
Excuse me.

1210
01:50:08,010 --> 01:50:10,850
Are you connected in any way to Spenlow
and Jorkins? He's my papa.

1211
01:50:18,580 --> 01:50:19,580
Thank you.

1212
01:50:53,260 --> 01:50:54,260
How did you find Miss Wickfield?

1213
01:50:55,560 --> 01:50:58,080
Very, very agreeable. Yeah. And so
clever.

1214
01:50:58,860 --> 01:51:02,240
I think if I had her as a friend a long
time ago, I might be clever myself by

1215
01:51:02,240 --> 01:51:03,239
now.

1216
01:51:03,240 --> 01:51:07,580
Nonsense. There's so many books she's
read, and such books, poetry and history

1217
01:51:07,580 --> 01:51:08,580
and philosophy.

1218
01:51:09,660 --> 01:51:11,140
She quite frightens me.

1219
01:51:11,620 --> 01:51:13,220
I've seen you sometimes with a book.

1220
01:51:13,540 --> 01:51:17,080
But only some foolish romance full of
dukes and diamonds and doomed passion.

1221
01:51:19,060 --> 01:51:21,100
I wonder how he could ever fall in love
with me.

1222
01:51:22,540 --> 01:51:24,040
How could I see you and not love you?

1223
01:51:24,420 --> 01:51:26,460
I suppose you'd never seen me at all.

1224
01:51:27,380 --> 01:51:28,680
I suppose we'd never been born.

1225
01:51:40,380 --> 01:51:41,080
What did you

1226
01:51:41,080 --> 01:51:49,380
think

1227
01:51:49,380 --> 01:51:50,199
of her?

1228
01:51:50,200 --> 01:51:51,240
Of Miss Spenlow?

1229
01:51:52,430 --> 01:51:54,010
And you say you're not in love, Trot?

1230
01:51:55,310 --> 01:51:56,490
What did you think of her?

1231
01:51:58,830 --> 01:51:59,850
Does her father know?

1232
01:52:05,190 --> 01:52:06,190
Then be careful.

1233
01:52:17,130 --> 01:52:18,270
Master Copperfield!

1234
01:52:19,370 --> 01:52:20,710
Master Copperfield!

1235
01:52:24,680 --> 01:52:26,200
What a wonderful party.

1236
01:52:26,800 --> 01:52:29,160
Except you and I had hardly any chance
to talk.

1237
01:52:30,220 --> 01:52:33,100
You have heard something, I dare say, of
the change in my circumstances.

1238
01:52:34,260 --> 01:52:35,260
Yes.

1239
01:52:35,720 --> 01:52:38,200
What a worthy man Mr. Wickfield is.

1240
01:52:38,500 --> 01:52:39,660
Oh, but he's been included.

1241
01:52:40,200 --> 01:52:44,740
Oh, very much so. Now, it's a topic I
would not touch on to any sober you.

1242
01:52:45,620 --> 01:52:47,000
No, there would have been great loss.

1243
01:52:48,320 --> 01:52:49,680
Disgrace. I don't know what all.

1244
01:52:50,360 --> 01:52:53,060
But I was able to be the humble
instrument of his salvation.

1245
01:52:53,800 --> 01:52:56,660
So he has put me on an eminence I could
never hope to have reached.

1246
01:52:57,600 --> 01:52:59,820
I congratulate you. Oh, thank you.

1247
01:53:00,380 --> 01:53:04,160
You will not think the worse of my
humbleness if I make a tiny confidence

1248
01:53:04,160 --> 01:53:05,160
to you.

1249
01:53:06,860 --> 01:53:07,860
No.

1250
01:53:08,520 --> 01:53:12,860
Did you not think that Miss Agnes
Swetfield was looking very beautiful

1251
01:53:12,860 --> 01:53:13,860
tonight?

1252
01:53:15,840 --> 01:53:16,840
Yes, I did.

1253
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:18,660
Oh, thank you.

1254
01:53:19,800 --> 01:53:20,800
Why thank me?

1255
01:53:21,770 --> 01:53:25,070
Well, that is the confidence that I take
the liberty of proposing.

1256
01:53:27,050 --> 01:53:32,450
Look, humble as I am, Master
Copperfield, the image of Agnes

1257
01:53:32,450 --> 01:53:35,070
Wickfield has been in my breast for
years.

1258
01:53:38,830 --> 01:53:45,790
Oh, Master Copperfield, what a pure
affection do I worship the ground my

1259
01:53:45,790 --> 01:53:46,790
Agnes walks on.

1260
01:53:50,410 --> 01:53:53,730
Have you made these feelings known to
her?

1261
01:53:54,070 --> 01:53:57,150
Oh, dear, no, no, no, no, no. Not to any
soul but you.

1262
01:53:57,830 --> 01:53:59,430
No, she's very young still.

1263
01:54:00,490 --> 01:54:02,070
And there's no rush at present.

1264
01:54:02,650 --> 01:54:04,210
And I have to work my way upwards.

1265
01:54:04,910 --> 01:54:07,990
There will be time presently to make her
familiar with my oats.

1266
01:54:08,630 --> 01:54:09,970
As opportunities offer.

1267
01:54:11,330 --> 01:54:12,950
I go this way towards the city.

1268
01:54:13,850 --> 01:54:14,850
I go that way.

1269
01:54:15,610 --> 01:54:16,690
Then we part here.

1270
01:54:17,670 --> 01:54:18,790
If you'll have the goodness.

1271
01:54:19,470 --> 01:54:20,490
To keep my secret.

1272
01:54:21,010 --> 01:54:22,810
Not general to go against me.

1273
01:54:23,670 --> 01:54:25,410
I'll take it as a particular favour.

1274
01:54:29,210 --> 01:54:32,490
Look, you are as a brother to a master
Copperfield.

1275
01:54:34,850 --> 01:54:36,870
You wouldn't wish to make
unpleasantness.

1276
01:54:41,010 --> 01:54:42,690
Well, I'll bid you goodnight.

1277
01:54:52,940 --> 01:54:55,700
At first, I was too angry to think
clearly.

1278
01:54:56,940 --> 01:55:02,260
Later, when I was master of myself
enough for reflection, I judged that the

1279
01:55:02,260 --> 01:55:06,900
best course was to do nothing, to keep
to myself what I'd heard.

1280
01:55:07,860 --> 01:55:12,280
The reader may by now be starting to
form an opinion about the soundness of

1281
01:55:12,280 --> 01:55:13,280
my judgment.

1282
01:55:13,880 --> 01:55:18,320
It was at about that era in my life
that, while dining most abominably with

1283
01:55:18,320 --> 01:55:21,940
traddles at his lodging, chanced through
into my path another old friend.

1284
01:55:25,140 --> 01:55:26,620
To school days.

1285
01:55:27,940 --> 01:55:28,940
School days.

1286
01:55:29,560 --> 01:55:32,360
Do you remember the time I got caned by
Old Creakle?

1287
01:55:33,300 --> 01:55:37,980
My dear Trattles, Old Creakle caned you
every day of your life. He was a brute

1288
01:55:37,980 --> 01:55:38,679
to you.

1289
01:55:38,680 --> 01:55:39,860
Perhaps he was.

1290
01:55:40,280 --> 01:55:43,000
But there was a great deal of fun going
on there too.

1291
01:55:43,840 --> 01:55:47,120
Do you remember the stories you used to
tell in the bedroom after dark?

1292
01:55:47,460 --> 01:55:50,920
Old... That'll be my landlord.

1293
01:55:52,360 --> 01:55:58,840
But the rent... Good evening, Mr.
Macorber.

1294
01:56:04,140 --> 01:56:05,140
Mr.

1295
01:56:06,460 --> 01:56:08,200
Macorber, how do you do?

1296
01:56:09,100 --> 01:56:13,320
Well, sir, you are exceedingly obliging.
I am in state to go.

1297
01:56:14,600 --> 01:56:15,900
And Mrs. Macorber?

1298
01:56:16,500 --> 01:56:19,580
She is also, thank God, in state to go.

1299
01:56:23,940 --> 01:56:25,060
And the children?

1300
01:56:25,400 --> 01:56:30,820
Well, I rejoice to say that they are
likewise in the enjoyment of celubrity.

1301
01:56:32,160 --> 01:56:38,080
Is it possible, have I the pleasure of
again beholding Copperfield?

1302
01:56:38,580 --> 01:56:41,780
Mr. Macawber, it's so good to see you
again.

1303
01:56:43,180 --> 01:56:44,920
My dear Copperfield!

1304
01:56:45,720 --> 01:56:47,260
Mrs. Macawber!

1305
01:56:47,740 --> 01:56:48,900
Mrs. Macawber!

1306
01:56:49,370 --> 01:56:51,330
Mrs. McCobber. Come, come, come, come.

1307
01:56:51,670 --> 01:56:56,250
My dear, here is a gentleman of the name
of Copperfield who wishes to renew his

1308
01:56:56,250 --> 01:56:57,310
acquaintance with you.

1309
01:56:57,930 --> 01:57:04,230
Oh, my dear

1310
01:57:04,230 --> 01:57:05,230
Copperfield.

1311
01:57:08,490 --> 01:57:10,090
This is luxurious.

1312
01:57:11,470 --> 01:57:15,190
This reminds me of a period when I and
mine were in easier circumstances.

1313
01:57:16,210 --> 01:57:19,230
Are circumstances difficult, Mr.
McCorvey?

1314
01:57:19,430 --> 01:57:23,550
Until recently, I was engaged in the
sale of corn upon commission.

1315
01:57:23,830 --> 01:57:27,150
It was not an avocation of a
remunerative description.

1316
01:57:28,050 --> 01:57:30,350
It did not pay, Mr. Copperfield.

1317
01:57:31,470 --> 01:57:35,650
Mr. McCorvey is at present without any
suitable position or employment.

1318
01:57:36,210 --> 01:57:38,270
Where does that responsibility rest?

1319
01:57:38,990 --> 01:57:40,130
With society.

1320
01:57:41,360 --> 01:57:46,340
What Mr. Macorber has to do is throw
down the gauntlet to society and say, in

1321
01:57:46,340 --> 01:57:52,060
effect, show me who would take that up.
Let the party immediately step forward.

1322
01:57:52,760 --> 01:57:55,320
How is this to be done, exactly?

1323
01:57:55,760 --> 01:57:58,100
By advertising in papers.

1324
01:57:58,960 --> 01:58:04,440
It appears to me that what Mr. Macorber
has to do in justice to himself, in

1325
01:58:04,440 --> 01:58:09,340
justice to society, is to advertise in
all the papers.

1326
01:58:21,110 --> 01:58:22,450
How is he, Peggy T?

1327
01:58:25,870 --> 01:58:27,550
He's going out with a toy.

1328
01:58:55,469 --> 01:58:56,690
He's come to himself.

1329
01:59:05,150 --> 01:59:06,230
Bacchus, my dear.

1330
01:59:11,110 --> 01:59:16,750
CP Bacchus.

1331
01:59:20,200 --> 01:59:21,660
No better woman anywhere.

1332
01:59:22,640 --> 01:59:25,940
Look, here's Master Davy.

1333
01:59:32,240 --> 01:59:33,280
Marcus

1334
01:59:33,280 --> 01:59:42,000
is

1335
01:59:42,000 --> 01:59:44,540
willing.

1336
02:00:02,370 --> 02:00:06,070
I undertook the sad business of
informing Peggy's brother of their loss.

1337
02:00:07,530 --> 02:00:10,970
I had no idea that I was about to learn
of a far greater one.

1338
02:00:22,010 --> 02:00:23,010
Ham?

1339
02:00:26,710 --> 02:00:27,710
Ham, what's the matter?

1340
02:00:30,030 --> 02:00:31,830
Ham, for heaven's sake, tell me what's
the matter.

1341
02:00:34,380 --> 02:00:35,380
She's run away.

1342
02:00:36,580 --> 02:00:37,580
Little Emily.

1343
02:00:38,800 --> 02:00:40,440
Pride and hope of my heart.

1344
02:00:42,240 --> 02:00:43,240
She's gone.

1345
02:00:46,620 --> 02:00:51,920
When you, who love me so much better
than I've deserved, when you read this,

1346
02:00:51,960 --> 02:00:54,040
you shall be far away.

1347
02:00:55,100 --> 02:00:59,760
When I leave my dear home in the
morning, it will be never to come back

1348
02:00:59,760 --> 02:01:02,680
unless he brings me back a lady.

1349
02:01:06,839 --> 02:01:10,840
It was no fault of yours, Marcy Davy.

1350
02:01:11,840 --> 02:01:14,440
There's no blame to be laid at your
door.

1351
02:01:15,160 --> 02:01:16,300
No fault of mine.

1352
02:01:16,640 --> 02:01:17,660
I don't understand.

1353
02:01:18,120 --> 02:01:21,340
The name of the man is Steerforth.

1354
02:01:21,960 --> 02:01:23,500
And he's a damned villain.

1355
02:01:27,680 --> 02:01:29,000
Where were you going, Daniel?

1356
02:01:30,680 --> 02:01:34,760
To find my poor niece in her shame and
bring her back.

1357
02:01:38,570 --> 02:01:40,610
I'm going to seek her far and wide.

1358
02:01:44,670 --> 02:01:50,690
If any hurt should come to me, tell her
the last words I had for her was, my

1359
02:01:50,690 --> 02:01:53,630
unchanged love is for my darling girl.

1360
02:01:55,530 --> 02:01:56,810
And I forgive her.

1361
02:01:58,290 --> 02:02:02,950
It was the first of a series of great
shocks that one after another

1362
02:02:02,950 --> 02:02:04,670
overwhelmed my young life.

1363
02:02:05,270 --> 02:02:07,030
The next was mild in comparison.

1364
02:02:07,630 --> 02:02:10,870
though momentous in its ultimate
consequences, and began innocently

1365
02:02:10,870 --> 02:02:12,550
enough with a visit to Mr. McCorber's.

1366
02:02:18,250 --> 02:02:24,970
My dear friends, you may possibly not be
unprepared to receive the

1367
02:02:24,970 --> 02:02:27,570
intimation that something has turned up.

1368
02:02:28,080 --> 02:02:32,540
I am about to establish myself in one of
the provincial towns of our favorite

1369
02:02:32,540 --> 02:02:36,080
island in immediate connection with one
of the learned professions.

1370
02:02:36,720 --> 02:02:41,140
You, therefore, find us on the brink of
migration and will excuse any little

1371
02:02:41,140 --> 02:02:43,440
discomforts incidental to that position.

1372
02:02:44,160 --> 02:02:49,540
My family may consider it a banishment,
if they please, but I am a wife and a

1373
02:02:49,540 --> 02:02:52,120
mother, and I never will desert Mr.
Macorber.

1374
02:02:52,920 --> 02:02:56,740
I consider it no sacrifice to immure
myself in a cathedral town.

1375
02:02:57,390 --> 02:02:58,710
You're going to a cathedral town?

1376
02:02:59,570 --> 02:03:04,230
To Canterbury. I have entered into
arrangements by virtue of which I stand

1377
02:03:04,230 --> 02:03:08,490
pledged and contracted to Mr. Uriah
Heep. Uriah Heep?

1378
02:03:08,810 --> 02:03:13,750
To assist and serve him in the capacity
of confidential clerk.

1379
02:03:16,390 --> 02:03:18,310
Are you acquainted with Mr. Heep?

1380
02:03:19,250 --> 02:03:20,950
Yes, I am indeed, ma'am.

1381
02:03:21,290 --> 02:03:24,090
And I feel it my duty to warn you
against him.

1382
02:03:25,100 --> 02:03:30,180
My dear Copperfield, I am bound to state
to you that it was the prudent

1383
02:03:30,180 --> 02:03:35,620
suggestion of Mrs. McCobber that has
conduced to this result. The gauntlet to

1384
02:03:35,620 --> 02:03:39,780
which you referred upon a former
occasion being thrown down in the form

1385
02:03:39,780 --> 02:03:42,820
of an advertisement was taken up by my
friend Heap.

1386
02:03:43,800 --> 02:03:44,800
Your friend?

1387
02:03:45,700 --> 02:03:50,580
Well, so I flatter myself.

1388
02:03:52,520 --> 02:03:54,100
I know you're I, Heap.

1389
02:03:54,640 --> 02:03:56,140
I've known him since I was a boy.

1390
02:03:57,040 --> 02:03:59,420
He is a false, scheming creature.

1391
02:03:59,740 --> 02:04:01,620
No traddles, you'll bear me out.

1392
02:04:02,120 --> 02:04:06,500
He's a man not greatly admired in the
profession, sir, but much feared.

1393
02:04:08,200 --> 02:04:13,560
These are opinions to give one pause,
indeed, but certain pecuniary

1394
02:04:13,560 --> 02:04:18,520
engagements having been entered into
upon either side, grave difficulties

1395
02:04:18,520 --> 02:04:25,240
must be anticipated in any attempt by me
to extricate myself from, in short...

1396
02:04:25,240 --> 02:04:28,280
Mr. Heap has settled all our debts, Mr.
Copperfield.

1397
02:04:38,510 --> 02:04:40,150
McCorber's duly left for Canterbury.

1398
02:04:40,630 --> 02:04:44,590
I heard regularly from Agnes, and though
nothing in her letters gave me

1399
02:04:44,590 --> 02:04:49,150
particular cause to feel anxiety for
them, or her, I remained uneasy.

1400
02:04:52,850 --> 02:04:56,930
Mr. Copperfield, would you step in here
a moment?

1401
02:05:19,280 --> 02:05:20,280
Mr. Murdston.

1402
02:05:23,180 --> 02:05:24,240
Miss Murdston?

1403
02:05:24,700 --> 02:05:30,420
David. Miss Murdston, have the goodness
to show Mr. Copperfield what you've

1404
02:05:30,420 --> 02:05:31,420
shown me.

1405
02:05:37,480 --> 02:05:42,900
I believe this is your handwriting, Mr.
Copperfield.

1406
02:05:44,540 --> 02:05:45,580
It is, sir.

1407
02:05:46,410 --> 02:05:49,390
Thank you, Miss Murdstone. We won't
detain you further.

1408
02:05:49,630 --> 02:05:53,110
What? But my brother and I have come
here today in spite of the fact that he

1409
02:05:53,110 --> 02:05:55,810
lost his wife a month ago and is in
mourning, as you can see.

1410
02:05:56,090 --> 02:05:57,130
Jane Murdstone, enough.

1411
02:05:58,310 --> 02:06:00,410
My private grief is not at issue here.

1412
02:06:04,190 --> 02:06:09,090
My sister has a great deal more to say,
sir. Your sister, Mr. Murdstone, has

1413
02:06:09,090 --> 02:06:10,090
done her part.

1414
02:06:10,370 --> 02:06:13,250
It is now between myself and Mr.

1415
02:06:13,690 --> 02:06:14,690
Copperfield.

1416
02:06:17,930 --> 02:06:18,930
Very well.

1417
02:06:19,210 --> 02:06:20,510
I protest!

1418
02:06:21,010 --> 02:06:24,630
Jane! But Mr. Copperfield's behavior has
been abominable!

1419
02:06:24,930 --> 02:06:26,010
Jane Murdstone!

1420
02:06:26,550 --> 02:06:27,990
Will you hold your tongue?

1421
02:06:43,650 --> 02:06:46,750
Well, Mr. Copperfield, have you
anything?

1422
02:06:53,759 --> 02:06:58,120
There's nothing I can say, sir, except
that all the blame is mine.

1423
02:06:59,860 --> 02:07:03,020
Dora... Miss Spenlow, I think you mean.

1424
02:07:04,560 --> 02:07:09,200
Miss Spenlow was persuaded by me to
consent to this secrecy, and I greatly

1425
02:07:09,200 --> 02:07:10,199
regret it.

1426
02:07:10,200 --> 02:07:12,800
But my love can be my only excuse.

1427
02:07:13,370 --> 02:07:16,830
Do not tell me to my face that you love
my daughter, sir.

1428
02:07:17,110 --> 02:07:20,810
Could I defend my conduct if I did not,
sir? Can you defend your conduct if you

1429
02:07:20,810 --> 02:07:21,810
do, sir?

1430
02:07:22,330 --> 02:07:29,090
Have you considered how... young my
daughter is, how young

1431
02:07:29,090 --> 02:07:33,730
you are, what your prospects are, how
many years it must be before you make a

1432
02:07:33,730 --> 02:07:35,030
penny out of the law?

1433
02:07:35,850 --> 02:07:37,370
There's my book, sir.

1434
02:07:42,160 --> 02:07:43,160
I've written a book.

1435
02:07:43,820 --> 02:07:46,640
It's with a publisher. I may get a good
price for it.

1436
02:07:48,640 --> 02:07:54,940
Such an extravagant notion, Mr
Copperfield. One hardly knows how to

1437
02:07:54,940 --> 02:07:56,040
proceed.

1438
02:07:57,980 --> 02:07:59,420
Consult your friends.

1439
02:08:00,099 --> 02:08:06,180
relations, people with some experience
of the world. See what advice they give

1440
02:08:06,180 --> 02:08:11,000
you. In the meantime, you are not to
communicate in any way with my daughter.

1441
02:08:11,180 --> 02:08:12,180
Is that agreed?

1442
02:08:17,300 --> 02:08:18,300
Yes, sir.

1443
02:08:18,980 --> 02:08:20,120
On your honor.

1444
02:08:22,220 --> 02:08:23,240
As a gentleman.

1445
02:08:24,100 --> 02:08:26,000
On my honor as a gentleman.

1446
02:08:37,890 --> 02:08:41,870
Neatly, smoothly keep your eyes on your
work. I determined to go down to Kent to

1447
02:08:41,870 --> 02:08:42,870
see my aunt.

1448
02:08:44,530 --> 02:08:48,350
Imagine my astonishment, then, to find
that very person waiting for me in my

1449
02:08:48,350 --> 02:08:49,350
rooms.

1450
02:08:51,250 --> 02:08:52,250
My dear aunt.

1451
02:08:54,730 --> 02:08:56,030
What an unexpected pleasure.

1452
02:08:56,530 --> 02:08:57,530
Trot.

1453
02:08:57,670 --> 02:08:58,670
How are you?

1454
02:08:59,490 --> 02:09:01,890
Mr. Dick, how do you do, sir? How do you
do, sir?

1455
02:09:03,890 --> 02:09:05,710
Aunt, wouldn't you be more comfortable
on the sofa?

1456
02:09:06,320 --> 02:09:07,320
No, no.

1457
02:09:07,340 --> 02:09:11,560
No, I prefer to sit upon my property. As
you wish.

1458
02:09:13,940 --> 02:09:14,940
Well?

1459
02:09:15,660 --> 02:09:19,380
Trot, have you got to be firm and
self-reliant?

1460
02:09:20,320 --> 02:09:22,360
I hope so. What do you think?

1461
02:09:23,440 --> 02:09:24,440
I think so.

1462
02:09:25,220 --> 02:09:31,100
Oh, then why, my love, do you think
Betsy Trotwood prefers to sit upon this

1463
02:09:31,100 --> 02:09:32,100
property of hers?

1464
02:09:32,300 --> 02:09:33,300
I don't know.

1465
02:09:33,520 --> 02:09:35,240
Because it's all she's got.

1466
02:09:37,509 --> 02:09:39,030
Because she's ruined.

1467
02:09:39,910 --> 02:09:40,910
Ruined?

1468
02:09:41,290 --> 02:09:43,290
Betsy Prottwood had a certain property.

1469
02:09:44,170 --> 02:09:49,330
Against the advice of her man of
business, I allude to Mr. Wickfield, she

1470
02:09:49,330 --> 02:09:51,650
invested in a gold mining venture and
lost.

1471
02:09:52,130 --> 02:09:55,050
Then she invested in a banking venture
and lost again.

1472
02:09:55,830 --> 02:10:00,450
Finally, she invested in a shipping
venture and was sunk and sent straight

1473
02:10:00,450 --> 02:10:01,450
to the bottom.

1474
02:10:05,680 --> 02:10:08,100
I have considered the position,
Copperfield.

1475
02:10:10,420 --> 02:10:16,180
I have even discussed the matter with,
um... Mr.

1476
02:10:16,480 --> 02:10:17,480
Jorkins.

1477
02:10:19,040 --> 02:10:25,960
Prima facie, I can see no grounds, legal
grounds, that is, to

1478
02:10:25,960 --> 02:10:32,800
cancel the agreement your aunt signed or
to return to her the money she paid.

1479
02:10:32,960 --> 02:10:33,960
Of course.

1480
02:10:34,640 --> 02:10:37,140
If it was left to me alone.

1481
02:10:38,080 --> 02:10:41,400
But, you know, Mr.

1482
02:10:41,860 --> 02:10:42,860
Jorkins.

1483
02:10:43,480 --> 02:10:47,040
Then, though, I... I'll return later.

1484
02:10:47,780 --> 02:10:51,280
You won't mind if I put my case directly
to Mr. Jorkins, sir?

1485
02:10:53,300 --> 02:10:55,480
By all means.

1486
02:10:57,539 --> 02:11:03,380
But please excuse me. I have an
appointment at the Lord Chancellor's

1487
02:11:03,380 --> 02:11:04,380
office.

1488
02:11:04,980 --> 02:11:06,560
I must be going.

1489
02:11:07,620 --> 02:11:10,860
I'm sorry to say I can't advance your
object, Copperfield.

1490
02:11:11,320 --> 02:11:14,400
And I too have an appointment at the
bank.

1491
02:11:15,200 --> 02:11:16,680
Sir. Sir.

1492
02:11:18,840 --> 02:11:21,140
My aunt can no longer give me an
allowance.

1493
02:11:21,560 --> 02:11:25,800
If I'm obliged to continue working here
with no salary, how am I to live?

1494
02:11:26,480 --> 02:11:28,920
I see your difficulty, Copperfield.
Indeed, I do.

1495
02:11:29,340 --> 02:11:33,360
But if Mr. Spenlow objects...
Personally, he does not object, sir.

1496
02:11:34,040 --> 02:11:35,040
Personally?

1497
02:11:36,380 --> 02:11:40,080
Personally. Oh, but I assure you, there
is an objection.

1498
02:11:41,560 --> 02:11:42,720
It's hopeless, I'm afraid.

1499
02:11:43,420 --> 02:11:45,900
And now I really have got an appointment
at the bank.

1500
02:11:50,200 --> 02:11:53,720
Well, if they won't, they won't. There's
nothing to be done about it.

1501
02:11:54,740 --> 02:11:59,200
Therefore, let us look the case of Betsy
Trotwood in the face and see how it

1502
02:11:59,200 --> 02:12:00,200
stands.

1503
02:12:00,240 --> 02:12:01,240
Mr. Dick!

1504
02:12:01,660 --> 02:12:02,660
Mr.

1505
02:12:03,140 --> 02:12:05,040
Dick has his hundred a year, thank God.

1506
02:12:05,820 --> 02:12:08,880
I have a little ready money in the
cottage, that's all.

1507
02:12:09,140 --> 02:12:10,900
The cottage must be let, Aunt. Oh.

1508
02:12:12,720 --> 02:12:13,720
Oh.

1509
02:12:13,980 --> 02:12:18,440
There is a small room upstairs I could
take for Mr. Dick.

1510
02:12:18,840 --> 02:12:19,840
Yes?

1511
02:12:20,160 --> 02:12:21,420
You could have my bedroom.

1512
02:12:22,580 --> 02:12:23,580
I'll take the sofa.

1513
02:12:25,290 --> 02:12:28,430
As to money, well, there's my book.

1514
02:12:29,030 --> 02:12:33,750
If I can only get a good price for that,
I can be free of Doctor's Commons and

1515
02:12:33,750 --> 02:12:34,970
marry Dora into the bargain.

1516
02:12:37,390 --> 02:12:38,390
Trot.

1517
02:12:38,990 --> 02:12:40,690
Oh, Trot.

1518
02:12:41,110 --> 02:12:42,110
Quiet down.

1519
02:12:43,550 --> 02:12:47,410
Trot. You fancy yourself in love.

1520
02:12:47,710 --> 02:12:49,930
I adore her with my whole soul.

1521
02:12:50,910 --> 02:12:51,910
Doros Bedlow.

1522
02:12:53,170 --> 02:12:54,950
She's... she's very...

1523
02:12:55,440 --> 02:12:59,220
Fascinating, I suppose. My dear aunt,
nobody can form the least idea of what

1524
02:12:59,220 --> 02:13:00,400
she is. Not silly?

1525
02:13:00,720 --> 02:13:02,260
Silly. Not light-headed?

1526
02:13:02,480 --> 02:13:04,720
Light-headed. Well, I only ask.

1527
02:13:05,060 --> 02:13:10,420
In any case, we must meet reverses
boldly and not suffer them to frighten

1528
02:13:10,420 --> 02:13:14,320
us. We must learn to act the play out.
We must live misfortune downtrod.

1529
02:13:16,180 --> 02:13:20,600
I went down to Kent, quickly concluded
the business of the cottage, then went

1530
02:13:20,600 --> 02:13:23,640
to Mr. Whitfield's house where I was to
dine with him and Agnes.

1531
02:13:34,570 --> 02:13:37,850
Mr. McCorber, I am extremely glad to see
you.

1532
02:13:40,070 --> 02:13:44,630
How do you find law, Mr. McCorber? Does
it suit you?

1533
02:13:45,210 --> 02:13:49,570
To a man possessed of the higher
imaginative powers, it is limiting.

1534
02:13:49,930 --> 02:13:55,350
In professional correspondence, the mind
is not at liberty to soar to any very

1535
02:13:55,350 --> 02:13:57,170
exalted form of expression.

1536
02:13:57,950 --> 02:14:01,270
Mrs. McCobb as well, I hope. Oh, very
well, thank God. And would be delighted

1537
02:14:01,270 --> 02:14:05,610
to receive you under our own roof.
Pending an elevation to more ambitious

1538
02:14:05,610 --> 02:14:10,870
domiciliary accommodation, we occupy the
humble abode that formerly gave shelter

1539
02:14:10,870 --> 02:14:13,190
to my employer Heap and his mother.

1540
02:14:13,570 --> 02:14:15,610
What? Well, where's Uriah living, then?
Here.

1541
02:14:16,570 --> 02:14:17,570
And his mother?

1542
02:14:18,090 --> 02:14:19,110
In this house?

1543
02:14:19,870 --> 02:14:20,870
Trotwood.

1544
02:14:21,430 --> 02:14:26,270
The sight of her instantly put Uriah
Heap and all his works out of my mind.

1545
02:14:27,040 --> 02:14:30,300
I could not think of her troubles, only
of mine.

1546
02:14:32,380 --> 02:14:33,960
I think I shall go mad, Agnes.

1547
02:14:35,620 --> 02:14:37,340
I love her to distraction.

1548
02:14:37,920 --> 02:14:40,000
I can't eat or sleep for love of her.

1549
02:14:40,400 --> 02:14:41,940
And her father won't let me see her.

1550
02:14:42,640 --> 02:14:44,100
I can't write to her.

1551
02:14:46,800 --> 02:14:49,980
If there was one gleam of hope, but
there's none.

1552
02:14:52,360 --> 02:14:55,500
My whole soul is being crushed under the
burden of this.

1553
02:14:55,720 --> 02:14:57,000
I want to kill myself.

1554
02:14:59,140 --> 02:15:04,220
Or throw all to perdition and carry her
away, elope with her. Please don't speak

1555
02:15:04,220 --> 02:15:05,800
of such things. You torture me.

1556
02:15:08,200 --> 02:15:09,200
Torture you?

1557
02:15:10,420 --> 02:15:11,420
Well, what do you mean?

1558
02:15:12,540 --> 02:15:13,540
Agnes?

1559
02:15:13,860 --> 02:15:16,480
What is it? What mustn't I talk of?
Dearest sister.

1560
02:15:17,780 --> 02:15:18,780
Please.

1561
02:15:20,260 --> 02:15:21,260
Tell me.

1562
02:15:28,680 --> 02:15:35,340
care to hear you talk a wild impossible
things trot of elopement

1563
02:15:35,340 --> 02:15:38,880
of ruining yourself and her

1564
02:15:38,880 --> 02:15:44,420
cutting yourself off from those who

1565
02:15:44,420 --> 02:15:47,360
love you

1566
02:15:47,360 --> 02:15:52,820
dearest Agnes

1567
02:15:52,820 --> 02:15:57,040
do you think I do

1568
02:16:07,050 --> 02:16:08,050
I don't know, Trot.

1569
02:16:15,610 --> 02:16:17,950
Abandon my aunt, to whom I owe
everything?

1570
02:16:22,270 --> 02:16:23,270
Never.

1571
02:16:31,990 --> 02:16:35,650
And yet, sometimes the dead of night

1572
02:16:36,650 --> 02:16:43,250
When I cannot sleep, I seem to hear a
demon voice whisper,

1573
02:16:43,450 --> 02:16:47,209
If only you had the courage.

1574
02:16:52,990 --> 02:16:57,049
It was only when Uriah and his mother
joined us for dinner that the full

1575
02:16:57,049 --> 02:17:00,990
extent of his baneful power over that
household became apparent to me.

1576
02:17:02,700 --> 02:17:06,600
It was with some pain that I observed
the frequency with which Mr. Wickfield

1577
02:17:06,600 --> 02:17:07,959
refilled his own glass.

1578
02:17:21,660 --> 02:17:22,780
Shall we withdraw, Mum?

1579
02:17:29,580 --> 02:17:31,059
Don't sit too long tonight, Papa.

1580
02:17:55,920 --> 02:18:02,860
You know, we seldom see our present
visitor, and I should propose to give

1581
02:18:02,860 --> 02:18:04,860
him welcome in a glass.

1582
02:18:05,620 --> 02:18:10,799
Mr Copperfield, you're elf and
happiness.

1583
02:18:14,620 --> 02:18:15,620
Come,

1584
02:18:16,299 --> 02:18:18,340
fellow partner, I'll give you another
one.

1585
02:18:20,480 --> 02:18:22,240
To Agnes Wickfield.

1586
02:18:27,530 --> 02:18:32,690
Agnes Wickfield is, I am safe to say,
the divinest of her sex.

1587
02:18:36,150 --> 02:18:38,650
I'll speak out among friends, I hope.

1588
02:18:39,549 --> 02:18:42,990
To be her father is a proud distinction.

1589
02:18:44,510 --> 02:18:49,010
But to be her husband... What?

1590
02:18:49,969 --> 02:18:52,530
What? Sit down, Wickfield.

1591
02:18:53,840 --> 02:18:59,799
If I say I have an ambition to make your
Agnes my Agnes, I have as good a right

1592
02:18:59,799 --> 02:19:00,799
as any man.

1593
02:19:01,240 --> 02:19:05,719
I dare swear I have a better right to
you.

1594
02:19:06,480 --> 02:19:07,480
To you!

1595
02:19:07,719 --> 02:19:08,719
Mr. Wakefield!

1596
02:19:08,860 --> 02:19:09,860
Leave me go!

1597
02:19:10,139 --> 02:19:11,639
Take care, Wakefield.

1598
02:19:12,680 --> 02:19:14,879
That man is my torture.

1599
02:19:16,120 --> 02:19:19,299
Step by step he has robbed me of my name
and reputation.

1600
02:19:20,059 --> 02:19:24,920
My peace and quiet, my house, my home! I
kept your name and reputation for me.

1601
02:19:25,059 --> 02:19:28,160
And your peace and quiet, and your house
and home!

1602
02:19:28,420 --> 02:19:29,420
Mr Whitfield!

1603
02:19:29,799 --> 02:19:31,040
Think of Agnes.

1604
02:19:31,959 --> 02:19:33,080
Think of your daughter.

1605
02:19:33,400 --> 02:19:34,420
What's happened, I heard?

1606
02:19:59,120 --> 02:20:00,320
We'll make it all smooth tomorrow.

1607
02:20:01,680 --> 02:20:06,900
Mr. Wickfield understands his interests
when he's not in liquor.

1608
02:20:10,820 --> 02:20:16,840
But he sometimes plucked a pear before
it was ripe, Mr. Cockfield.

1609
02:20:19,540 --> 02:20:21,960
Well, I did that.

1610
02:20:22,900 --> 02:20:23,900
Just now.

1611
02:20:25,440 --> 02:20:27,100
But it'll ripen yet.

1612
02:20:30,640 --> 02:20:31,740
Only needs attending to.

1613
02:20:35,940 --> 02:20:36,940
Henry.

1614
02:20:40,140 --> 02:20:41,260
Be careful.

1615
02:20:42,100 --> 02:20:44,380
Copperfield. I could ruin him, you know.

1616
02:20:44,900 --> 02:20:47,280
Wickfield. Oh, yes. Send him to prison.

1617
02:20:47,840 --> 02:20:48,840
You lie.

1618
02:20:48,880 --> 02:20:49,880
Do lie.

1619
02:20:51,180 --> 02:20:52,180
Ask him, then.

1620
02:20:52,420 --> 02:20:53,420
Go on.

1621
02:20:54,000 --> 02:20:55,000
Ask him.

1622
02:20:55,340 --> 02:20:57,500
Ask him about the Richborough Diamonds.

1623
02:21:19,660 --> 02:21:20,660
Can I do nothing?

1624
02:21:22,200 --> 02:21:25,060
I have burdened you with my own sorrows.

1625
02:21:25,740 --> 02:21:26,740
No.

1626
02:21:27,220 --> 02:21:31,180
Agnes, you'd never sacrifice yourself
out of a sense of duty.

1627
02:21:32,740 --> 02:21:35,060
You'd never bestow your hand on that
man.

1628
02:21:35,880 --> 02:21:37,520
I would kill myself first.

1629
02:21:40,040 --> 02:21:42,800
You think perhaps I shall never bestow
my hand on any man?

1630
02:21:57,390 --> 02:22:03,590
It was then, at that moment, that I
knew, if only dimly, what my true

1631
02:22:03,590 --> 02:22:04,690
feeling for her was.

1632
02:22:05,690 --> 02:22:07,810
I said nothing. What could I say?

1633
02:22:09,010 --> 02:22:13,170
In any case, the hand of fate was about
to reach out.

1634
02:22:59,370 --> 02:23:02,250
These are the articles you signed with
Mr. Spenlow.

1635
02:23:02,750 --> 02:23:06,670
Now that he is... dead, Mr. Jokins?

1636
02:23:08,210 --> 02:23:09,149
Precisely, yes.

1637
02:23:09,150 --> 02:23:12,070
Now that he is... what you mentioned.

1638
02:23:12,690 --> 02:23:14,490
The articles cease and determine.

1639
02:23:15,190 --> 02:23:17,650
So also does your employment here.

1640
02:23:19,210 --> 02:23:23,290
In ordinary circumstances, your aunt
would be entitled to have part of the

1641
02:23:23,290 --> 02:23:28,630
money she laid down, reimbursed by the
estate of the...

1642
02:23:29,420 --> 02:23:31,040
Of the deceased, Mr. Jorkin?

1643
02:23:32,180 --> 02:23:33,180
Precisely, yes.

1644
02:23:33,580 --> 02:23:36,380
By the... what you mentioned.

1645
02:23:37,320 --> 02:23:42,640
But alas, the circumstances are not
ordinary. Very, very far from ordinary.

1646
02:23:44,300 --> 02:23:45,500
There is no money.

1647
02:23:45,840 --> 02:23:46,840
There must be some.

1648
02:23:47,480 --> 02:23:48,480
Not a penny.

1649
02:23:49,260 --> 02:23:54,040
Mr. Spenlow had, it seemed, been running
through money far in excess of his

1650
02:23:54,040 --> 02:23:55,040
income.

1651
02:23:55,660 --> 02:23:56,660
The house?

1652
02:23:57,320 --> 02:23:58,320
Rented.

1653
02:23:58,890 --> 02:23:59,890
The carriage.

1654
02:24:00,310 --> 02:24:01,310
Hired.

1655
02:24:02,030 --> 02:24:04,390
Then what is to become of Miss Spenlow?

1656
02:24:36,810 --> 02:24:37,810
It's dreadful, sir.

1657
02:24:41,630 --> 02:24:42,630
Dora?

1658
02:24:43,930 --> 02:24:44,930
Dora!

1659
02:24:47,950 --> 02:24:49,950
There's no money.

1660
02:24:52,570 --> 02:24:55,010
I don't know what to become of me.

1661
02:24:55,870 --> 02:24:56,870
Dora.

1662
02:24:58,010 --> 02:24:59,790
If you desert me now...

1663
02:25:08,590 --> 02:25:10,370
With this ring I thee wed.

1664
02:25:10,810 --> 02:25:13,030
With this ring I thee wed.

1665
02:25:13,530 --> 02:25:15,430
With my body I thee worship.

1666
02:25:16,010 --> 02:25:17,670
With my body I thee worship.

1667
02:25:17,990 --> 02:25:21,090
And with all my worldly goods I thee
endow.

1668
02:25:21,410 --> 02:25:23,910
And with all my worldly goods I thee
endow.

1669
02:25:24,250 --> 02:25:28,470
In the name of the Father, and the Son,
and the Holy Ghost.

1670
02:25:28,770 --> 02:25:32,950
Amen. In the name of the Father, the
Son, and the Holy Ghost.

1671
02:25:33,530 --> 02:25:34,530
Amen.

1672
02:26:13,200 --> 02:26:14,920
Are you happy now, you foolish boy?

1673
02:26:15,620 --> 02:26:16,620
Very.

1674
02:26:17,000 --> 02:26:18,180
Very, very happy.

1675
02:26:31,340 --> 02:26:32,580
But was I happy?

1676
02:26:33,320 --> 02:26:34,540
I sold my book.

1677
02:26:34,960 --> 02:26:37,020
The price was not great, but sufficient.

1678
02:26:38,100 --> 02:26:40,580
Dora and I took a cottage on the
northern height of London.

1679
02:26:41,050 --> 02:26:43,710
while my aunt and Mr. Dix stayed on in
my old lodgings.

1680
02:26:44,270 --> 02:26:48,550
We had a slattern of a servant called
Mary Ann, whose written recommendation

1681
02:26:48,550 --> 02:26:51,870
proved to be a greater work of fiction
than I would ever dare attempt.

1682
02:26:52,470 --> 02:26:57,030
Her expenditure was quite phenomenal,
but we never had anything in the house.

1683
02:26:57,830 --> 02:26:58,990
They won't come right.

1684
02:27:00,210 --> 02:27:01,210
Horrid bills.

1685
02:27:02,250 --> 02:27:04,490
Horrid, horrid numbers. They won't do
anything I want.

1686
02:27:05,010 --> 02:27:08,170
They make my head ache so, and you do
nothing to help me, you nasty husband.

1687
02:27:14,090 --> 02:27:15,250
Is it a dreadful muddle?

1688
02:27:18,310 --> 02:27:19,590
It's a bit of a one, my love.

1689
02:27:21,210 --> 02:27:22,250
I'll see to this tomorrow.

1690
02:27:23,670 --> 02:27:27,250
Why not now and teach me? Because I'm
behind with my writing.

1691
02:27:28,210 --> 02:27:30,930
I believe you care more for your horrid
books than you do for me.

1692
02:27:31,270 --> 02:27:34,890
Dora. If you could have married one of
your books, I dare say you would have in

1693
02:27:34,890 --> 02:27:38,170
preference to me. How many times do I
have to tell you that this is our bread

1694
02:27:38,170 --> 02:27:39,170
and butter?

1695
02:27:40,390 --> 02:27:42,570
If I can't have peace to write, we
starve.

1696
02:27:42,950 --> 02:27:43,950
And my aunt with us.

1697
02:27:47,810 --> 02:27:48,810
Dora!

1698
02:27:49,090 --> 02:27:50,090
Dora!

1699
02:27:51,290 --> 02:27:52,290
Mary on the door!

1700
02:27:52,570 --> 02:27:53,570
She's found.

1701
02:27:54,190 --> 02:27:56,010
My darling girl is found.

1702
02:27:57,430 --> 02:27:58,670
She left him.

1703
02:27:59,270 --> 02:28:01,310
Steerforth. Aye, him.

1704
02:28:01,790 --> 02:28:06,190
She made her own poor solitary course to
London. Being close to death.

1705
02:28:06,490 --> 02:28:07,429
Mr. Peggity.

1706
02:28:07,430 --> 02:28:09,210
Oh, she'll live, sir.

1707
02:28:10,550 --> 02:28:11,830
Now she will.

1708
02:28:13,160 --> 02:28:18,100
But feeling herself close to death, she
wrote to Yarmouth and they passed one

1709
02:28:18,100 --> 02:28:19,100
word to me.

1710
02:28:19,220 --> 02:28:20,220
Where is she now?

1711
02:28:21,040 --> 02:28:23,080
Well, here, sir. In London.

1712
02:28:23,960 --> 02:28:26,620
Still weak, sir, in her health.

1713
02:28:27,420 --> 02:28:28,880
But I'll nurse her.

1714
02:28:29,620 --> 02:28:33,620
And when she's well, I'll take her away.

1715
02:28:35,160 --> 02:28:36,220
Far away.

1716
02:28:40,400 --> 02:28:42,540
I had word again from Yarmouth today,
sir.

1717
02:28:43,680 --> 02:28:49,240
He's going there, in that boat of his
from Grimsby, to seek her out.

1718
02:28:51,800 --> 02:28:55,840
Will you go down there, sir?

1719
02:28:58,400 --> 02:28:59,880
Of course, Mr. Begarty.

1720
02:29:00,760 --> 02:29:01,760
Anything.

1721
02:29:02,480 --> 02:29:03,660
Will you tell him?

1722
02:29:04,920 --> 02:29:09,400
My niece will never look upon his face
again, nor bear him company.

1723
02:29:09,870 --> 02:29:10,870
I will.

1724
02:29:11,450 --> 02:29:14,010
I travelled all night through a great
storm.

1725
02:29:14,750 --> 02:29:18,330
Gusts of rain were sweeping in from the
coast like showers of steel.

1726
02:29:19,810 --> 02:29:23,670
By the time I came to Yarmouth, it had
finally blown itself out.

1727
02:29:25,270 --> 02:29:26,730
Master Davy!

1728
02:29:26,930 --> 02:29:27,930
Daggett.

1729
02:29:28,190 --> 02:29:29,970
Davy, my darling boy!

1730
02:29:31,010 --> 02:29:33,550
Look what brings you here. You sent my
word.

1731
02:29:35,050 --> 02:29:36,050
Dear Lord.

1732
02:29:36,630 --> 02:29:37,630
What is it?

1733
02:29:38,650 --> 02:29:39,650
He came to meet him.

1734
02:29:40,770 --> 02:29:44,030
Steerforth. Oh, dear Lord.

1735
02:29:44,610 --> 02:29:45,810
Peggy, what is it?

1736
02:30:04,790 --> 02:30:07,550
His boat foundered in the storm.

1737
02:30:08,400 --> 02:30:09,500
close to shore.

1738
02:30:10,720 --> 02:30:17,640
I saw her as she rolled and dashed like
a

1739
02:30:17,640 --> 02:30:19,120
desperate creature driven mad.

1740
02:30:20,040 --> 02:30:24,900
And a wave like a high green hillside

1741
02:30:24,900 --> 02:30:29,760
broke her to pieces.

1742
02:30:34,880 --> 02:30:37,340
He lay as if asleep.

1743
02:30:38,350 --> 02:30:40,390
as I had often seen him lie at school.

1744
02:30:51,830 --> 02:30:55,390
It was a winter of bitter, unrelenting
cold.

1745
02:30:57,070 --> 02:31:00,110
Dora was constantly ailing and often
confined to bed.

1746
02:31:03,530 --> 02:31:08,290
And then, one morning, I received a
letter in the familiar flamboyant hand

1747
02:31:08,290 --> 02:31:09,410
of Mr. Macorber.

1748
02:31:13,870 --> 02:31:14,870
Marianne!

1749
02:31:22,950 --> 02:31:24,630
My dear aunt, shadows!

1750
02:31:25,390 --> 02:31:26,530
He's had the same!

1751
02:31:27,290 --> 02:31:28,650
Come in, come.

1752
02:31:35,400 --> 02:31:36,960
Most secret and confidential.

1753
02:31:37,820 --> 02:31:43,120
My dear Copperfield, what you hold in
your hand is the explosion of a volcano

1754
02:31:43,120 --> 02:31:44,120
long suppressed.

1755
02:31:44,360 --> 02:31:49,420
The result of an internal contest more
easily conceived than described.

1756
02:31:49,880 --> 02:31:51,940
But now the struggle is over.

1757
02:31:52,160 --> 02:31:56,740
I will put my hand in no man's hand.
Until I have blown to fragments a

1758
02:31:56,740 --> 02:31:58,960
detestable serpent. Uriah Heep!

1759
02:31:59,360 --> 02:32:01,900
Mr. McCorver summons us to Canterbury.

1760
02:32:02,140 --> 02:32:03,140
And we're going.

1761
02:32:13,390 --> 02:32:14,189
He's here.

1762
02:32:14,190 --> 02:32:18,970
Ladies and gentlemen, I trust you will
shortly witness an eruption.

1763
02:32:19,470 --> 02:32:23,950
Mr Copperfield, Mr Trattles, remember
when I give the word, pounce.

1764
02:32:37,230 --> 02:32:38,230
Wow.

1765
02:32:38,750 --> 02:32:41,990
Here is an unexpected pleasure.

1766
02:32:43,240 --> 02:32:45,420
To see so many old friends.

1767
02:32:47,500 --> 02:32:50,520
Why aren't you at your desk, McCall? Run
along.

1768
02:32:50,760 --> 02:32:52,960
Go on, run along. I'll talk to you
presently.

1769
02:32:53,340 --> 02:32:58,560
If there is a scoundrel on this earth of
whom I have already talked too much,

1770
02:32:58,640 --> 02:33:01,260
that scoundrel's name is he.

1771
02:33:03,720 --> 02:33:04,740
Mr. Wickfield?

1772
02:33:05,450 --> 02:33:09,670
Would you have the goodness to make
known to present company what, in a

1773
02:33:09,670 --> 02:33:13,830
moment of unadulterated despair and
benightedness of soul, you confided to

1774
02:33:13,830 --> 02:33:18,530
me? In short, the circumstances
pertaining to the loss of the

1775
02:33:18,530 --> 02:33:19,690
Richborough diamonds.

1776
02:33:26,830 --> 02:33:31,430
These valuable jewels were entrusted to
me by a client, Sir George Richborough.

1777
02:33:32,460 --> 02:33:38,840
At his direction, I took them to London
to be sold. In London, I... I mislaid

1778
02:33:38,840 --> 02:33:39,840
them. No.

1779
02:33:40,420 --> 02:33:42,520
You were drunk, Mr. Wickfield.

1780
02:33:44,040 --> 02:33:45,320
And you lost them.

1781
02:33:45,840 --> 02:33:47,440
Or they were stolen from you.

1782
02:33:47,840 --> 02:33:48,840
Stolen?

1783
02:33:50,340 --> 02:33:54,620
Present company will oblige me by
retaining that word.

1784
02:33:56,040 --> 02:34:00,520
Like a fool, instead of going to my
client and placing the facts...

1785
02:34:01,080 --> 02:34:03,540
Honestly, before him, I attempted to
cover up the loss.

1786
02:34:05,180 --> 02:34:08,340
I... I had to borrow the money to pay
Sir George.

1787
02:34:08,820 --> 02:34:12,460
But enough. No, no, I must go on. Then
sit, I beg you. Give me your hand.

1788
02:34:13,800 --> 02:34:19,820
The interest on the loan was crippling.
I... I soon became mired in debt.

1789
02:34:21,200 --> 02:34:28,000
In the end, to maintain secrecy, I was
mad enough to... to borrow the money

1790
02:34:28,000 --> 02:34:29,760
from my own clerk, Uriah Heep.

1791
02:34:32,300 --> 02:34:33,940
ever since I had been in his power.

1792
02:34:34,240 --> 02:34:35,420
Dearest Papa, enough.

1793
02:34:36,940 --> 02:34:42,220
Present company may now wish to consider
an alternative interpretation.

1794
02:34:44,800 --> 02:34:46,640
Elucidated by Mr.

1795
02:34:46,840 --> 02:34:50,920
Wickfield, the Jewess were stolen.

1796
02:34:51,440 --> 02:34:56,600
Stolen by the transcendent and immortal
hypocrite and perjurer, he.

1797
02:34:58,040 --> 02:35:00,940
You know, you're all words, Macorber.

1798
02:35:02,900 --> 02:35:04,840
Windy, empty words.

1799
02:35:06,920 --> 02:35:07,920
Where's your proof?

1800
02:35:08,460 --> 02:35:12,940
The consummate scoundrel, the
intolerable ruffian, the interminable

1801
02:35:12,940 --> 02:35:16,280
cheat and liar, the abandoned rascal
heap demands proof.

1802
02:35:16,760 --> 02:35:18,620
I say to him, here's proof.

1803
02:35:19,100 --> 02:35:21,160
That is my sandbox.

1804
02:35:21,480 --> 02:35:22,920
How dare you touch it?

1805
02:35:23,160 --> 02:35:28,540
Yuri, Yuri, be humble. Yuri, Yuri, be
humble. Get out, Mother. Be humble,

1806
02:35:28,660 --> 02:35:29,860
Yuri. Make terms.

1807
02:35:30,520 --> 02:35:31,520
Inquire, I say.

1808
02:35:31,870 --> 02:35:34,370
I'll humble them. Will you? Call her
here.

1809
02:35:36,390 --> 02:35:38,050
Good. Stay away, macabre.

1810
02:35:40,430 --> 02:35:41,710
That's you for this, macabre.

1811
02:35:41,950 --> 02:35:43,010
I'll kill you.

1812
02:35:43,230 --> 02:35:44,930
Be humble, Uri.

1813
02:35:45,410 --> 02:35:47,770
My Uriah means to be humble.

1814
02:35:48,030 --> 02:35:50,550
Don't mind what he says, good gentleman.

1815
02:35:50,830 --> 02:35:51,830
Hold your tongue, mother.

1816
02:35:56,050 --> 02:35:57,050
Ah.

1817
02:35:57,990 --> 02:36:00,210
Oh. The rich for a diamond.

1818
02:36:04,970 --> 02:36:06,030
How did you know that was there?

1819
02:36:12,610 --> 02:36:19,410
I never meant no

1820
02:36:19,410 --> 02:36:20,410
harm, Yuri.

1821
02:36:21,770 --> 02:36:23,350
You betrayed me!

1822
02:36:23,830 --> 02:36:24,830
No, never.

1823
02:36:25,130 --> 02:36:26,550
I'd die first.

1824
02:36:29,610 --> 02:36:33,290
I only wanted to see how they'd look
above my neck.

1825
02:36:36,240 --> 02:36:37,800
I only took him out for a moment.

1826
02:36:39,360 --> 02:36:40,620
To try him.

1827
02:36:41,300 --> 02:36:42,580
It is true.

1828
02:36:43,440 --> 02:36:46,700
I was at hand, privily and secretly.

1829
02:36:47,240 --> 02:36:52,600
It was only a moment, but enough to
prove, beyond a poor adventure, the

1830
02:36:52,600 --> 02:36:57,280
monstrous stratagem by which, in short,
to prove your guilt.

1831
02:37:00,960 --> 02:37:03,180
Stop! My Lord!

1832
02:37:42,860 --> 02:37:43,860
It's all here.

1833
02:37:44,560 --> 02:37:46,880
Every penny he embezzled and stole.

1834
02:37:47,180 --> 02:37:48,400
He hoarded it all.

1835
02:37:48,860 --> 02:37:50,260
My property.

1836
02:37:51,720 --> 02:37:53,160
I've got it back.

1837
02:37:53,880 --> 02:37:55,840
But aunt, I thought you said you'd lost
it.

1838
02:37:56,180 --> 02:37:59,220
It was all invested here with Mr
Whitfield.

1839
02:37:59,800 --> 02:38:04,280
I thought it was he that made off with
it. That's why I kept silent. That's why

1840
02:38:04,280 --> 02:38:05,320
I made up that story.

1841
02:38:05,980 --> 02:38:07,440
It was noble of you, ma'am.

1842
02:38:08,980 --> 02:38:10,300
You saved his reputation.

1843
02:38:12,430 --> 02:38:14,590
Which is the same as saying that you've
saved his life.

1844
02:38:14,830 --> 02:38:15,830
Is he sleeping?

1845
02:38:17,230 --> 02:38:18,550
How can I ever thank you?

1846
02:38:23,750 --> 02:38:26,130
Some people David knows, you're my
friends.

1847
02:38:26,610 --> 02:38:28,610
They're going out to Australia shortly.

1848
02:38:29,350 --> 02:38:30,470
Australia? Australia.

1849
02:38:30,910 --> 02:38:33,950
You could go on the same ship. What do
you think of that idea?

1850
02:38:35,150 --> 02:38:36,190
Capital, ma'am.

1851
02:38:36,410 --> 02:38:38,410
But there's the rub, ma'am. Capital.

1852
02:38:39,020 --> 02:38:40,020
We have none.

1853
02:38:44,140 --> 02:38:48,100
Your husband has done a great service,
Mrs. McCorver.

1854
02:38:49,080 --> 02:38:51,980
If you lack money, I'll furnish it.

1855
02:38:52,980 --> 02:38:58,230
I could not receive it as a gift, ma'am.
Mr. Macorber's pride would not permit

1856
02:38:58,230 --> 02:39:04,690
it. If, however, a sufficient sum could
be advanced, say, at 5% interest per

1857
02:39:04,690 --> 02:39:11,530
annum per my personal liability, say, my
notes of hand at 12, 18, and 24 months,

1858
02:39:11,610 --> 02:39:15,070
respectively, to allow time for
something to turn up.

1859
02:39:17,210 --> 02:39:18,210
Here.

1860
02:39:19,560 --> 02:39:23,260
I have a strong conviction that
Australia will prove to be the

1861
02:39:23,260 --> 02:39:25,520
legitimate sphere of action for me and
mine.

1862
02:39:25,740 --> 02:39:29,960
In short, that something of an
extraordinary nature will turn up upon

1863
02:39:29,960 --> 02:39:31,220
that wild and distant shore.

1864
02:39:40,620 --> 02:39:45,500
I now approach an event so painful...

1865
02:39:46,250 --> 02:39:50,210
that from the beginning of this
narrative I have seen it loom larger and

1866
02:39:50,210 --> 02:39:56,230
larger as I advanced, like a tall tree
in a plane, throwing its shadow over

1867
02:39:56,230 --> 02:39:57,270
all. Dora!

1868
02:40:03,370 --> 02:40:08,130
It was the servant, Marianne, who had
robbed us and then run off, leaving Dora

1869
02:40:08,130 --> 02:40:10,130
alone in a state of terror and distress.

1870
02:40:12,630 --> 02:40:13,630
Dora!

1871
02:40:14,830 --> 02:40:15,830
Dora!

1872
02:40:34,220 --> 02:40:35,860
I'll come back first thing in the
morning.

1873
02:40:37,000 --> 02:40:39,860
But if there's any change, send round
for me immediately.

1874
02:40:42,680 --> 02:40:43,680
Dear Anne.

1875
02:40:43,880 --> 02:40:44,880
Oh, love.

1876
02:40:45,340 --> 02:40:46,340
Oh, love.

1877
02:40:50,780 --> 02:40:52,760
Over the next few days, she grew worse.

1878
02:40:53,160 --> 02:40:56,660
She wanted very much to see Agnes, so I
sent word to Canterbury.

1879
02:41:29,880 --> 02:41:32,540
Daddy... I want to say something.

1880
02:41:33,460 --> 02:41:35,480
I've often thought of saying lately.

1881
02:41:35,700 --> 02:41:36,840
You were mine.

1882
02:41:41,220 --> 02:41:46,680
I think I was too young to be your wife.

1883
02:41:49,260 --> 02:41:52,000
Not in years only, but...

1884
02:42:03,400 --> 02:42:04,520
You're a silly little creature.

1885
02:42:05,880 --> 02:42:07,800
Not fit to be a wife.

1886
02:42:08,120 --> 02:42:09,540
Fit as light to be a husband.

1887
02:42:14,100 --> 02:42:15,960
It's much better this way.

1888
02:42:18,520 --> 02:42:25,500
In the end I would have wearied you and
disappointed you. What are you saying?

1889
02:42:29,240 --> 02:42:30,760
I want to see Agnes.

1890
02:42:33,450 --> 02:42:35,070
Will you send her up to me?

1891
02:42:38,290 --> 02:42:40,230
I want to see her quite alone.

1892
02:43:53,000 --> 02:43:59,960
O holy and merciful saviour, thou most
worthy judge eternal, suffer us not at

1893
02:43:59,960 --> 02:44:03,500
our last hour, or any pains of death to
fall from thee.

1894
02:44:05,340 --> 02:44:10,700
Forasmuch as it hath pleased almighty
God to take unto himself the soul of our

1895
02:44:10,700 --> 02:44:15,760
dear sister here departed, we therefore
commit her body to the ground.

1896
02:44:20,760 --> 02:44:22,000
Earth to earth.

1897
02:44:23,020 --> 02:44:26,420
ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

1898
02:44:34,640 --> 02:44:40,940
I fled from the cold grave where my wife
lay, from the aunt to whom I owed my

1899
02:44:40,940 --> 02:44:46,300
very existence, and from the woman who
had all my heart.

1900
02:44:56,200 --> 02:45:00,200
But three years I wandered through
Europe until finally I settled in

1901
02:45:00,200 --> 02:45:01,200
Switzerland.

1902
02:45:02,400 --> 02:45:03,960
I wrote more books.

1903
02:45:05,100 --> 02:45:10,660
My fame and reputation grew, but I had
no thought of ending the exile I had

1904
02:45:10,660 --> 02:45:15,980
chosen until one day the nightmare of my
past rose up again.

1905
02:45:22,840 --> 02:45:25,360
It was Murdston.

1906
02:45:25,680 --> 02:45:29,420
and his sister, sitting with an English
girl and her companion with whom I was

1907
02:45:29,420 --> 02:45:30,420
slightly acquainted.

1908
02:45:34,480 --> 02:45:35,480
Miss Horton.

1909
02:45:36,160 --> 02:45:37,160
Miss Skeggs.

1910
02:45:38,580 --> 02:45:41,280
I beg your pardon for this unceremonious
intrusion.

1911
02:45:41,560 --> 02:45:42,560
Mr. Copperfield.

1912
02:45:42,640 --> 02:45:44,380
Won't you do us the honor of joining us?

1913
02:45:46,320 --> 02:45:47,320
Thank you.

1914
02:45:47,680 --> 02:45:49,240
May I present... Mr.

1915
02:45:49,440 --> 02:45:52,400
Murdstone and his sister are already
known to me.

1916
02:45:53,100 --> 02:45:57,670
Mia. Distant acquaintances. We can agree
on that. Can we not, Mr. Copperfield?

1917
02:46:00,290 --> 02:46:01,790
No, ma'am. We cannot.

1918
02:46:03,470 --> 02:46:04,470
Not again.

1919
02:46:05,850 --> 02:46:06,850
Never again.

1920
02:46:08,430 --> 02:46:10,230
Mr. Murdstone is my stepfather.

1921
02:46:12,490 --> 02:46:14,430
He charmed my mother into marriage.

1922
02:46:14,830 --> 02:46:17,630
He wanted her fortune, small though it
was.

1923
02:46:17,850 --> 02:46:18,930
Have a care, sir.

1924
02:46:19,270 --> 02:46:20,850
That is what he is, this fellow.

1925
02:46:21,490 --> 02:46:22,890
A calculating...

1926
02:46:23,150 --> 02:46:28,770
cold-blooded fortune hunter without
honor, scruple, or mercy.

1927
02:46:29,810 --> 02:46:31,890
Be silent!

1928
02:46:32,130 --> 02:46:33,630
I have been silent too long.

1929
02:46:34,010 --> 02:46:35,770
I will be silent no more.

1930
02:46:36,130 --> 02:46:38,470
Edward, Edward, come away. Hold your
tongue.

1931
02:46:38,750 --> 02:46:42,490
He bullied and harried my poor, weak
mother into her grave.

1932
02:46:42,830 --> 02:46:46,650
Yes, she was weak, but it was not I who
preyed upon her weakness.

1933
02:46:46,950 --> 02:46:48,310
It was her own son.

1934
02:46:48,920 --> 02:46:53,040
who drained her of the strength that she
needed with his wild behavior and

1935
02:46:53,040 --> 02:46:54,040
importunate demands.

1936
02:46:54,620 --> 02:47:00,580
You killed her as deliberately and as
pitilessly as if you had thrust a knife

1937
02:47:00,580 --> 02:47:01,640
into her heart.

1938
02:47:04,760 --> 02:47:06,500
Repeat that in England, sir.

1939
02:47:07,800 --> 02:47:11,700
Repeat that in a place where you cannot
evade the laws of slander.

1940
02:47:11,980 --> 02:47:13,160
I'll do better than that.

1941
02:47:14,040 --> 02:47:15,100
I'll write it.

1942
02:47:18,670 --> 02:47:20,010
I have a certain fate.

1943
02:47:21,730 --> 02:47:22,730
I'll use it.

1944
02:47:23,430 --> 02:47:27,150
I'll make sure that you are yet more
widely known than I am.

1945
02:47:28,290 --> 02:47:32,650
Universally known as the black-hearted
thief and murderer that you are.

1946
02:47:43,030 --> 02:47:44,030
Edward.

1947
02:47:45,650 --> 02:47:46,910
Edward, come away.

1948
02:47:56,240 --> 02:48:00,200
Before another hour had passed, I was at
my desk composing this present

1949
02:48:00,200 --> 02:48:05,640
narrative. As I finished each page, no,
each sentence, each word, the black

1950
02:48:05,640 --> 02:48:10,420
night of my boyhood melted away until I
stood at last in the light, a man.

1951
02:48:13,900 --> 02:48:15,460
End it, I could not.

1952
02:48:16,620 --> 02:48:23,380
The ending, whatever it should be, happy
or sad, lay not in Switzerland, but in

1953
02:48:23,380 --> 02:48:24,380
England.

1954
02:48:44,359 --> 02:48:45,780
How is

1955
02:48:45,780 --> 02:48:53,760
Agnes?

1956
02:48:53,940 --> 02:48:55,560
Well, very well.

1957
02:48:56,200 --> 02:49:00,880
And as good and beautiful as ever. If I
knew higher praise, I would bestow it on

1958
02:49:00,880 --> 02:49:04,000
her. Has she any admirers?

1959
02:49:05,780 --> 02:49:06,780
Scores.

1960
02:49:07,220 --> 02:49:10,120
She could have been married 20 times
since you've been gone.

1961
02:49:10,580 --> 02:49:11,980
I wonder why she has not.

1962
02:49:13,440 --> 02:49:15,140
I suspect she has an attachment.

1963
02:49:16,000 --> 02:49:17,000
Do you know the man?

1964
02:49:18,100 --> 02:49:21,940
She's never confided in me, but I think
I know the man.

1965
02:49:23,140 --> 02:49:25,640
I think I know the man very well.

1966
02:49:30,990 --> 02:49:33,510
Will you go over to Canterbury and see
her?

1967
02:49:35,710 --> 02:49:37,430
Are you sure she would welcome it?

1968
02:49:38,470 --> 02:49:39,470
Mr. Dick?

1969
02:49:40,070 --> 02:49:41,310
What should he do?

1970
02:49:42,090 --> 02:49:44,450
Hire a horse and ride to Canterbury
tomorrow.

1971
02:49:54,950 --> 02:49:55,950
Agnes?

1972
02:49:56,990 --> 02:49:58,290
Oh, Trotwood, is it you?

1973
02:50:00,840 --> 02:50:01,840
It is.

1974
02:50:02,440 --> 02:50:03,680
How well you look. And you.

1975
02:50:04,540 --> 02:50:08,860
Did you... Agnes.

1976
02:50:10,560 --> 02:50:11,800
I went away.

1977
02:50:13,060 --> 02:50:14,440
I know why you went away.

1978
02:50:15,540 --> 02:50:16,540
Do you?

1979
02:50:19,440 --> 02:50:20,440
Yes.

1980
02:50:20,840 --> 02:50:22,840
I believe you know everything about me.

1981
02:50:23,940 --> 02:50:25,220
Not everything, perhaps.

1982
02:50:28,880 --> 02:50:29,880
I went away.

1983
02:50:32,400 --> 02:50:33,520
I went away loving you.

1984
02:50:34,840 --> 02:50:36,440
I stayed away loving you.

1985
02:50:37,840 --> 02:50:40,720
And now I return, loving you.

1986
02:50:42,960 --> 02:50:43,960
Did you know that?

1987
02:50:46,260 --> 02:50:47,260
Yes.

1988
02:50:49,580 --> 02:50:52,280
I have kept my secret better than you
have kept yours.

1989
02:50:53,100 --> 02:50:54,100
Your secret?

1990
02:50:57,080 --> 02:50:59,080
I have loved you all my life.

1991
02:51:12,260 --> 02:51:13,260
Dearest.

1992
02:51:14,020 --> 02:51:15,020
Dearest Trot.

1993
02:51:16,820 --> 02:51:18,740
There is one more thing I have to tell
you.

1994
02:51:21,740 --> 02:51:23,840
The day she died, Dora sent you for me.

1995
02:51:25,480 --> 02:51:26,660
I was with her at the end.

1996
02:51:29,600 --> 02:51:31,660
She made a last request to me.

1997
02:51:34,460 --> 02:51:37,060
That one day I would take her place by
your side.

1998
02:51:47,980 --> 02:51:48,980
Will you?

1999
02:51:52,800 --> 02:51:53,800
I will.

2000
02:52:23,600 --> 02:52:28,140
Here I close this narrative, here with
Agnes at my side.

2001
02:52:29,540 --> 02:52:36,460
Agnes, Agnes, Agnes, may you so be near
me when I close my life, when realities

2002
02:52:36,460 --> 02:52:38,880
are melting from me like the shadows of
this story.

2003
02:52:40,020 --> 02:52:42,320
May I find you near me still.
