NO. IT CAN'T BE.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT!

MORNING, MR. JINKINS.

BAILEY!
IS IT REALLY YOU?

NO, IT AIN'T ME.
IT'S ME ELDEST SON.

HE'S A CREDIT TO
HIS FATHER, AIN'T HE?

DO YOU KNOW THEM TOP BOOTS
WHEN YOU SEE 'EM?

DO YOU KNOW A SLAP-UP
SORT OF BUTTON
WHEN YOU SEE IT?

I GOT THE RIGHT SORT
OF GOV'NOR NOW.

Jinkins:
WHO IS HE?

THE SECRETARY'S SALARY,
DAVID,

THAT OFFICE
NOW BEING ESTABLISHED,

IS �800 PER ANNUM...

HOUSE RENT, COALS, AND
CANDLES FREE, OF COURSE.

YOUR 5 AND 20 SHARES
YOU CONTINUE TO HOLD.

IS THAT ENOUGH FOR YOU?

UH...WELL, UH...
QUITE ENOUGH.

THEN I SHALL PROPOSE IT
AT THE BOARD MEETING

IN MY CAPACITY...

AS CHAIRMAN.

BOARD MEETING?

YOU'RE A CAUTION, TIGG.

SAY MONTAGUE,
PLEASE, DAVID.

I SHOULD PREFER YOU
TO ADDRESS ME

AS MONTAGUE
EVEN IN PRIVATE.

AFTER ALL, I AM CHAIRMAN
OF THE ANGLO-BENGALEE

DISINTERESTED LOAN AND
LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY.

SHALL WE GO DOWN?

HOW'S EVERYBODY
AT TODGERS'?

VERY WELL, I THINK.
EXCEPT FOR POOR MODDLE.

THE SILLY FELLOW
HAS BEEN INCONSOLABLE
EVER SINCE

MISS PECKSNIFF'S
MARRIAGE TO
JONAS CHUZZLEWIT

WAS ANNOUNCED
IN THE NEWSPAPER.

MISS CHARITY MARRIED.

WHY, I PRACTICALLY MADE
THE MATCH MESELF.

NO, NOT MISS CHARITY.

THAT WAS WHY MODDLE
TOOK IT SO HARD--
MISS MERCY.

SO HE MARRIED
THE MERRY ONE
IN THE END, DID HE?

WELL, WELL, I DON'T THINK
THEY'LL BE SUITED.

BAILEY!
YES, SIR?

WE'RE GOING
TO HEAD OFFICE.
I'LL DRIVE.

YES, SIR. WHOA.

NOT BAD, EH?

GIVE ME REGARDS
TO ALL AT TODGERS'.

I WILL.

Crimple: WHAT A CHAP
YOU ARE, MONTAGUE.

SAY "GENIUS," CRIMPLE.
"GENIUS."

IT WAS A CAPITAL IDEA,
WASN'T IT--

THE ANGLO-BENGALEE?

MY IDEA, CRIMPLE,
MY IDEA.

BUT MY CAPITAL.
MOSTLY.

I DESERVE
A LITTLE CREDIT
IN THE BUSINESS.

AND YOU HAVE IT.
THE PLAIN WORK
OF THE COMPANY:

BOOKS, FIGURES...
CIRCULARS...

SEALING WAX
AND WAFERS...

IS ADMIRABLY
DONE BY YOU.

BUT THE ORNAMENTAL
DEPARTMENT, DAVID,

THE INVENTIVE AND
POETICAL DEPARTMENT...

IS ENTIRELY YOURS.
I DON'T DISPUTE IT.

THANK YOU, DAVID.
THANK YOU.

WHAT ARE
THE COMPANY'S
ASSETS,

ACCORDING TO
THE NEXT PROSPECTUS?

[CHUCKLES]
A FIGURE OF 2

AND AS MANY NAUGHTS
AFTER IT

AS THE PRINTER CAN GET
INTO THE SECOND LINE.

HA HA HA!
HA HA HA!

BY YOUR LEAVE.
BY YOUR LEAVE THERE.

MAKE WAY FOR THE CHAIRMAN.

MAKE WAY FOR THE CHAIRMAN,
I SAY...

THE CHAIRMAN OF
THE ANGLO-BENGALEE COMPANY.

MAKE WAY, I SAY!

BULLAMY.
YES, SIR?

TELL THE MEDICAL OFFICER
I SHOULD LIKE TO SPEAK
TO HIM.

YES, SIR.

HERE I AM, MR. MONTAGUE.

Montague:
AH. DR. JOBLING.

WAIT OUTSIDE,
PLEASE, BULLAMY.

UH, YES, SIR.

GOOD MORNING,
MR. CRIMPLE.
HOW ARE YOU?

A LITTLE WORN
WITH BUSINESS?

LET ME RECOMMEND
SOME LUNCH.

A VERY WHOLESOME THING
AT THIS TIME OF DAY

TO SETTLE
THE GASTRIC JUICES.

YOU, TOO, MR. MONTAGUE.

[BELL JINGLES]

Montague:
LUNCH, BULLAMY.

YES, SIR.

OH! NOT ON MY ACCOUNT,
I HOPE.

[CHUCKLES]
YOU'RE VERY GOOD.

SO...

THE BOARD...IS MET.

[CHUCKLING]

I AM NOT, OF COURSE,
STRICTLY SPEAKING,

A MEMBER OF THE BOARD,
GENTLEMEN.

MERELY A MEDICAL
CONSULTANT.

YOU'VE EARNED COMMISSION
ON 4 NEW POLICIES,
THOUGH, I SEE.

JOBLING, DEAR MAN,
WELL DONE.

NO. NO, NO, NONSENSE.

UPON MY WORD,
I HAVE NO RIGHT TO
DRAW THE COMMISSION.

MY PATIENTS ASK ME
WHAT I KNOW, AND
I TELL THEM WHAT I KNOW.

IF THEY PUT ANY QUESTION
TO ME ABOUT THE CAPITAL
OF THE COMPANY,

I TELL THEM I HAVE
NO HEAD FOR FIGURES.

IF THEY ASK ME
ABOUT MR. MONTAGUE,

I TELL THEM
I'M PROUD TO NAME HIM
AMONG MY FRIENDS.

HOUSE, EVERYTHING BELONGING
TO HIM IN LONDON, BEAUTIFUL.

COSTLY FURNITURE
ON A MOST ELEGANT
AND LAVISH SCALE.

AS TO THE OFFICES,
I TELL THEM TO GO
AND SEE FOR THEMSELVES.

AND THEY DO.
THEY DO.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Montague: COME.

AH, LUNCH.

GOOD MAN, BULLAMY.

Jobling:
IT'S A DAMN FINE
MADEIRA, SIR.

THE LAST TIME I TASTED
ANYTHING AS GOOD
WAS AT A FUNERAL.

OOH!

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING
OF THAT PARTY, I SUPPOSE.

IF HE'S DEAD,
I'VE NO WISH TO DO SO.

NO. NO, NO.
THE FUNERAL WAS
FOR HIS FATHER.

HE DIED OF AN APOPLEXY.

"JONAS CHUZZLEWIT,
ESQUIRE"?

MR. CHUZZLEWIT IS
THE SOLE INHERITOR
OF WHAT,

TO JUDGE BY THE STYLE
OF THE FUNERAL,

MUST BE A VERY
CONSIDERABLE ESTATE.

NATURALLY,
I TOLD HIM WHERE TO GO

IF HE EVER THOUGHT
OF INSURING HIS LIFE.

VERY CIVIL, JOBLING.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]
COME.

GENTLEMAN REQUESTS
THE FAVOR OF
AN INTERVIEW, SIR.

SPEAK...OF THE DEVIL.

MR. JONAS CHUZZLEWIT.

MY DEAR CHUZZLEWIT,
I'M DELIGHTED TO SEE YOU.

NOW, LET ME
INTRODUCE OUR CHAIRMAN,
MR. MONTAGUE.

MOST WELCOME,
MY DEAR SIR.

WHY DO I SAY
OUR CHAIRMAN?

HE'S NOT MY CHAIRMAN,
YOU KNOW.

SIMPLY BECAUSE
I HEAR THE PHRASE

CONSTANTLY REPEATED
ABOUT ME.

SUCH IS
THE INVOLUNTARY OPERATION
OF THE MENTAL FACULTY

IN THE IMITATIVE
BIPED--MAN. HA HA!

THIS IS OUR COMPANY
SECRETARY, MR. CRIMPLE.

VERY PLEASED
TO MAKE YOUR
ACQUAINTANCE.

NOW, YOU GENTLEMEN
HAVE BUSINESS TO DISCUSS,

I HAVE SEVERAL PATIENTS
TO VISIT.

SO I WILL BID YOU
GOOD DAY.

I MUST BE GOING, TOO.
IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME.

CERTAINLY, CRIMPLE.

MR. CHUZZLEWIT AND I
WILL HAVE A COZY
T�TE-�-T�TE.

PLEASE SIT DOWN,
MR. CHUZZLEWIT.

IF I COME HERE
TO ASK A QUESTION OR TWO

AND TO TAKE A DOCUMENT OR TWO
TO CONSIDER THEREOF,

IT DOESN'T BIND ME
TO ANYTHING, YOU KNOW.

LET THAT BE UNDERSTOOD.

MY DEAR FELLOW,
I APPLAUD YOUR CAUTION.

PLEASE.

WHY SHOULD I DISGUISE
WHAT YOU KNOW SO WELL

BUT WHAT THE CROWD
NEVER DREAM OF?

WE COMPANIES ARE ALL
BIRDS OF PREY.

THE ONLY QUESTION IS
WHETHER IN SERVING
OUR OWN TURN,

WE MAY ALSO SERVE YOURS.

YOU AIN'T A BAD
MAN OF BUSINESS,
MR. MONTAGUE.

THE TRUTH IS--

DON'T SAY "TRUTH."
IT'S HUMBUG.

THE LONG
AND THE SHORT THEN.

MUCH BETTER.

IS THAT I DON'T
CONSIDER MYSELF
VERY WELL USED

BY ONE OR TWO OF
THE OLDER COMPANIES

IN SOME NEGOTIATIONS
I HAD WITH THEM.

THEY STARTED
OBJECTIONS THEY HAD
NO RIGHT TO START

AND PUT QUESTIONS
THEY HAD NO RIGHT
TO PUT.

TUT, TUT.

AND NOW
I'VE MARRIED A WIFE.

SHE'S YOUNG
AND HEALTHY,

BUT YOU NEVER KNOW
WITH THESE WOMEN,

SO I'M THINKING OF
INSURING HER LIFE.

VERY PRUDENT.

PROVIDED I CAN DO IT
CHEAP AND EASY

AND WITHOUT
BOTHERING HER.

FOR IT IS IN
A WOMAN'S WAY TO
TAKE IT INTO HER HEAD

THAT IF YOU TALK TO HER
ABOUT THESE THINGS,

SHE'S GOING TO DIE
DIRECTLY.

SO IT IS.

SWEET, SILLY THINGS
THEY ARE.

JOBLING RECOMMENDED YOU
VERY WARMLY TO ME,
MR. MONTAGUE,

BUT HE COULDN'T
TELL ME ANYTHING
ABOUT COMPANY SECURITY.

THE PAID-UP CAPITAL,
MY DEAR SIR,
AT THE PRESENT MOMENT--

I KNOW ALL ABOUT
PAID-UP CAPITALS.

DO YOU?

I SHOULD HOPE SO.

DO YOU KNOW ME?

WELL, I HAVE BEEN
THINKING AS I SAT HERE,

THAT THERE'S SOMETHING
FAMILIAR ABOUT YOU,
BUT I CAN'T RECALL.

MR. PECKSNIFF'S PARLOR?

BY GAD!

YOU'RE THE FELLOW
THAT CAME TO WARN US

OLD MARTIN CHUZZLEWIT
HAD GIVEN US THE SLIP.

THE VERY SAME.

EGAD, YOU'VE PROSPERED
SINCE THEN.

I HAVE INDEED.
AND SO COULD YOU

IF YOU TOOK PREMIUMS
INSTEAD OF PAYING 'EM.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

JOIN US.

EH?

COME OVER HERE
A MINUTE.

THERE ARE PRINTED
CALCULATIONS

WHICH WILL TELL YOU
PRETTY NEARLY

HOW MANY PEOPLE
PASS UP AND DOWN

THAT THOROUGHFARE
IN A SINGLE DAY,

BUT I CAN TELL YOU
HOW MANY OF THEM

WILL COME
INTO THIS OFFICE
TO BUY ANNUITIES,

EFFECT INSURANCES,

BRING ME THEIR MONEY
IN A HUNDRED
SHAPES AND WAYS,

FORCE IT UPON US,

TRUST US WITH IT AS
IF WE WERE THE MINT,

AND YET KNOW NO MORE
ABOUT US THAN YOU DO

ABOUT THAT CROSSING
SWEEPER THERE.

WHY? SIMPLY BECAUSE
WE LOOK THE TICKET.

BULLAMY'S
RED WAISTCOAT

IS WORTH �100
TO US A WEEK.

BUT YOU KNEW THAT
ALREADY, YOU DOG.

DINE WITH ME TOMORROW
IN PALL MALL.

I WILL.

LOOK OVER THESE PAPERS
IN THE MEANTIME.

SEE: "B" WANTS A LOAN,

SAY 50 OR �100,
PERHAPS MORE.

IT'S NO MATTER.

"B" PROPOSES SELF
AND 2 SECURITIES.
"B" IS ACCEPTED.

THE 2 SECURITIES
GIVE A BOND.

"B" ASSURES HIS OWN LIFE
FOR DOUBLE THE AMOUNT

AND BRINGS
2 FRIENDS' LIVES
WITH HIM.

IS THAT NOT
A GOOD NOTION?

A CAPITAL NOTION.
WILL HE DO IT?

DO IT? "B" IS HARD UP
AND WILL DO ANYTHING.

"B" PAYS THE HIGHEST
LAWFUL INTEREST.

WHICH AIN'T MUCH.

TRUE. BUT WE HAVE
HIS POLICY

AND HIS 2 FRIENDS'
POLICIES,

AND WE CHARGE "B"
FOR THE BOND,

AND WE CHARGE HIM
FOR INQUIRIES

BY OUR MR. NADGETT
PRIOR TO THE LOAN,

AND WE CHARGE HIM
A TRIFLE

FOR THE SECRETARY'S
SERVICES.

AND, IN SHORT,
MY GOOD FELLOW,

WE STICK IT INTO "B"
UP HILL AND DOWN DALE

AND MAKE A DEVILISH COMFORTABLE
LITTLE PROPERTY OUT OF HIM.

YES, BUT WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN THEY BEGIN
TO FALL IN?

WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN YOUR POLICIES
BEGIN TO DIE?

GOOD QUESTION.

...BOLT.

WHY, YOU'RE AS BOLD
AS BRASS.

A MAN MAY WELL AFFORD
TO BE AS BOLD AS BRASS,
MY GOOD FELLOW,

WHEN HE GETS GOLD
IN EXCHANGE.

DINE WITH ME
TOMORROW NIGHT.

7:30, HMM?
HERE'S MY CARD.

I CAN SEE THAT YOU'RE
GOING TO JOIN US.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT THAT.

THERE'S A GOOD DEAL
TO BE LOOKED AT HERE.

AND LOOK YOU SHALL.

TAKE THESE DOCUMENTS.
BULLAMY!

UNTIL TOMORROW.

KINDLY SHOW
MR. CHUZZLEWIT
THE WAY OUT.

IS NADGETT THERE?

AH, NADGETT.

ANY INFORMATION
ABOUT THIS PERSON

I SHALL BE GLAD
TO HAVE MYSELF.

ANYTHING YOU CAN GLEAN,
BRING TO ME.

TO ME, MR. NADGETT.

MAY I TROUBLE YOU TO PASS
THE GOOSEBERRY PRESERVE,
MY DEAR?

CHERRY, WHAT IS AMISS
BETWEEN US?

WHY ARE WE DISUNITED?

DON'T TALK HUMBUG, PA.

HUMBUG?

THIS IS VERY HARD.

HARD?

FOR WHOM?

WILL YOU STATE
THE CAUSE, PA,
OR SHALL I?

WAS I NOT MADE
A CONVENIENCE OF?

WERE MY FEELINGS
NOT TRIFLED WITH?

I WONDER YOU DON'T
HAVE MORE SPIRIT.

IF MR. JONAS
DID NOT CARE FOR YOU,

WHY SHOULD YOU WISH
TO HAVE HIM?

"I WISH TO HAVE HIM"?

"I WISH TO HAVE HIM"...

MERCY IS WELCOME
TO THE WRETCH.

THEN WHY MAKE
ALL THIS FUSS?

BECAUSE I WAS DECEIVED!

BECAUSE MY OWN FATHER
AND MY OWN SISTER

CONSPIRED AGAINST ME!

SHH. BE QUIET.

I'VE BEEN
MORE SHAMEFULLY USED

THAN ANYBODY EVER WAS
IN THIS WORLD.

IN ANY CASE, THAT'S
NOT THE ONLY THING.

I'M NOT A TOTAL FOOL,
YOU KNOW, PA,

AND I'M NOT BLIND.

ALL I HAVE TO SAY
IS THAT I WON'T
SUBMIT TO IT.

YOU LABOR UNDER SOME
MISAPPREHENSION, MY DEAR,

BUT I WILL NOT ASK YOU
WHAT IT IS.

THEN I SHALL TELL YOU.

LET US AVOID THE SUBJECT,
WHATEVER IT MAY BE.

OH, I WISH TO BE ABLE TO
AVOID IT ALTOGETHER, PA,

BY REMOVING MYSELF.

REMOVING YOURSELF?

I MUST ASK YOU TO PLACE ME
ON AN INDEPENDENT FOOTING.

I WILL NOT SUFFER ANY
FURTHER...HUMILIATION
IN THIS HOUSE.

WELL, MY GOOD SIR,
AND HOW IS MY DEAR FRIEND?

OH!

IT'S YOU, PECKSNIFF.

I DIDN'T HEAR YOU
APPROACH.

I ASKED YOU HOW YOU WERE
THIS DELICIOUS MORNING.

SHE'S GONE FOR
A WALK IN THE WOODS.

SHE BROUGHT ME
HERE FIRST.

NO, NOT MISS GRAHAM.
YOU, MY DEAR SIR, YOU.
HOW ARE YOU?

EH? OH.

NOT TOO WELL,
PECKSNIFF.

I'M NOT THE MAN I WAS.

OH, WELL, I AM SORRY
TO HEAR IT.

BUT IT COMES TO US ALL
IN THE END.

CHANGE IS THE CONDITION
OF HUMAN LIFE.

NOW, FOR INSTANCE,
I MUST PART WITH
MY DEAR CHERRY.

IS SHE GETTING
MARRIED, TOO, THEN?

OH, NO, NO, NO,
MY DEAR SIR.

NO, SHE'S NOT BEEN IN
THE BEST OF SPIRITS OF LATE,

AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED.

SHE MISSES
HER DEAR SISTER.

I THINK OF GIVING HER
A RUN IN LONDON,

A GOOD LONG RUN
IF I FIND SHE LIKES IT.

I TRUST YOU
AND MISS GRAHAM

WILL CONTINUE
TO BEAR ME COMPANY
WHILE SHE'S AWAY.

I HAVE NO INTENTION
OF REMOVING YET AWHILE.

I'M DELIGHTED TO HEAR IT.

WHY, MY DEAR SIR...

DON'T YOU COME
AND STAY WITH ME?

NOW THAT CHERRY IS GOING,

MISS GRAHAM COULD HAVE
MY GIRLS' ROOM,

WHICH WOULD BE MORE, UM--
PARDON ME FOR SAYING--

MORE SUITABLE THAN HER
PRESENT ACCOMMODATION
AT THE DRAGON.

THAT IS KIND OF YOU,
PECKSNIFF.

OH, MY DEAR SIR,
IF I COULD ONLY SAY

HOW DEEP AN INTEREST
I TAKE IN YOU

AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL
YOUNG COMPANION.

SHE NEED HAVE SOMEONE
INTERESTED IN HER.

I SOMETIMES
THINK I DID WRONG TO
TRAIN HER AS I DID.

WHEN I'M GONE, SHE'LL
HAVE NO PROTECTOR
BUT HERSELF.

PERHAPS HER POSITION
COULD BE ALTERED.

YOU THINK I SHOULD MAKE
A GOVERNESS OF HER

OR A SEAMSTRESS?

HEAVEN FORBID!
THERE ARE OTHER WAYS.

WHAT OTHER WAYS?

REALLY, I'M SO EXCITED
AT THE PROSPECT
OF YOUR EXTENDED VISIT

THAT I HARDLY KNOW
WHAT I MEAN.

PERMIT ME TO, UM,
RESUME THE SUBJECT
ON ANOTHER OCCASION.

AS YOU PLEASE.

I THINK I WILL TAKE A WALK
TO CALM MY THOUGHTS.

AND I'LL GO AND SIT
IN YOUR PARLOR
IF I MAY.

I TIRE EASILY
THESE DAYS.
EXCUSE ME.

OF COURSE.

YOU WOULD LEAVE
THE RECOMPENSE TO ME

IF WE ACCEPT
YOUR HOSPITALITY.

DO NOT SPEAK
OF RECOMPENSE.

THAT IS AN ABSOLUTE
CONDITION.

IF YOU INSIST,
MY DEAR SIR.

VERY WELL.

COMMUNING WITH NATURE,
MISS GRAHAM?

SO AM I.

I--I WAS JUST GOING HOME.

SO AM I.

TAKE MY ARM,
SWEET GIRL.

NO. THANK YOU.

WHY SO FAST?

YOU WOULD NOT SHUN ME,
WOULD YOU?

YES, I WOULD.

RELEASE ME,
MR. PECKSNIFF, PLEASE.

I AM GLAD WE MET.

I AM VERY GLAD
WE MET.

I AM NOW ABLE
TO EASE MY BOSOM
OF A TENDER SECRET.

CAN YOU GUESS
WHAT IT IS?

PLEASE LET ME GO!

HEAR ME OUT!
I LOVE YOU, MARY.

I LOVE YOU,
MY GENTLE DOVE,

WITH A PASSION
WHICH IS QUITE
SURPRISING,

EVEN TO MYSELF.

ALTHOUGH
I AM A WIDOWER,

I AM NOT ENCUMBERED
WITH DEPENDENTS.

I HAVE A CHARACTER,
I HOPE.

PEOPLE ARE PLEASED
TO SPEAK WELL OF ME.

MY MANNER AND PERSON
IS NOT ABSOLUTELY

THAT OF A MONSTER,
I TRUST, HMM?

I HAVE REASON
TO BELIEVE THAT OUR
VENERABLE FRIEND

WILL LOOK KINDLY
ON OUR UNION.

AND WHEN HE IS WAFTED
TO A HAVEN OF REST,

WE SHALL CONSOLE
EACH OTHER.

WHAT DO YOU SAY,
MY PRETTY PRIMROSE?

I CANNOT LISTEN
TO YOUR PROPOSAL,
MR. PECKSNIFF.

IF YOU HAVE
ANY SENSE OF HONOR,

YOU WILL RELEASE ME
AT ONCE!

OF COURSE, A CERTAIN
MAIDENLY RELUCTANCE
IS NATURAL

UNDER THESE
CIRCUMSTANCES

AND ONLY ADDS
TO YOUR CHARM,
MY DEAR.

GREAT HEAVENS!
WILL NOTHING MOVE YOU?

MUST I TELL YOU
THAT I LOATHE
AND DETEST YOU?

IT IS A CURIOUS FACT,

BUT IT IS DIFFICULT,
YOU KNOW,

FOR ANYONE TO RUFFLE ME.

MR. CHUZZLEWIT
SHALL KNOW OF THIS.

HOW?
I SHALL TELL HIM.

NO, YOU WILL NOT.

THERE ARE TWO
MARTIN CHUZZLEWITS,

AND YOUR CARRYING
YOUR ANGER TO ONE

MIGHT SERIOUSLY
AFFECT THE OTHER.

WHAT MORE CAN
MY MARTIN SUFFER?

YOUR MARTIN?

OH, YES. I DID HEAR
THERE WAS SOME

CHILDISH FONDNESS
BETWEEN YOU.

WHEN WE ARE MARRIED,
YOU SHALL HAVE

THE SATISFACTION OF
DOING HIM SOME GOOD.

I HAVE
SOME INFLUENCE

WITH MR. CHUZZLEWIT,
I THINK.

HEAVEN KNOWS WHY.

AND HE IS NOT THE MAN
HE USED TO BE.

I SEE IN HIM
THE SAME SYMPTOMS OF
IRREVERSIBLE DECLINE

THAT I OBSERVED
IN HIS BROTHER

JUST BEFORE HE DIED.

OH, DON'T SAY THAT.

I BELIEVE THAT
HE WILL LISTEN
FAVORABLY

TO ANY PROPOSAL
I MADE IN HIS
GRANDSON'S INTEREST.

AND, OF COURSE,
BY THE SAME TOKEN,

I COULD STRENGTHEN
HIS PREJUDICE
AGAINST THE YOUNG MAN.

YOU WILL CONSENT,
MY DEAR.

YOU WILL CONSENT,
I KNOW,

WHEN YOU HAVE HAD
TIME TO REFLECT.

IN THE MEANTIME,

LET US KEEP THIS
LITTLE SECRET
TO OURSELVES.

AH, YOU NAUGHTY HAND.
[CHUCKLES]

WHY DID YOU TAKE ME
PRISONER?

GO. GO.

BANDY OR NOT BANDY?
COME ON, PICK.

"BANDY, YOUR GRACE,
BY THE LORD HARRY,"
SAID I.

A TRUE MAN OF THE WORLD,
MY DEAR SIR.

FOR A PROFESSIONAL PERSON
LIKE MYSELF,

IT'S VERY REFRESHING
TO COME TO THIS KIND
OF SOCIETY.

MORE WINE?

OH, YES.
AS MUCH OF THAT
AS YOU LIKE.

I THOUGHT IT BEST
NOT TO HAVE A PARTY.

I HOPE YOU APPROVE.

WHY, WHAT DO
YOU CALL THIS, THEN?

OH, JUST A LITTLE
INFORMAL GATHERING
OF FRIENDS.

CRIMPLE SAID TO ME,
"YOU'LL HAVE A PARTY
FOR CHUZZLEWIT?"

"NO, I WON'T,"
I SAID,

"HE'LL TAKE US
AS WE ARE,
IN THE ROUGH."

WELL, IT SEEMS
PRETTY SMOOTH TO ME.

AND IT DIDN'T
COST YOU A TRIFLE,
I'LL WAGER.

IT'S THE WAY
I LIKE TO SPEND
MY MONEY.

YOU SHAN'T GET RID
OF YOUR PROFITS
IN THE SAME WAY,

I FANCY.

NO, YOU'RE RIGHT THERE.

NOT THAT I'VE DEFINITELY
AGREED TO JOIN, MIND.

OF COURSE NOT.

NO, YOU MUST
TAKE YOUR TIME.

BUT LET US NOT SPOIL
SUCH AN EXCELLENT WINE
WITH TALK OF BUSINESS.

YOUR GOOD HEALTH.

YOU'RE A GOOD MAN,
MONTAGUE.

Crimple:
IS HE, UH, HOOKED?

ALL WE HAVE TO DO
IS REEL HIM IN.

HE SIGNS TOMORROW.

MEANWHILE, BAILEY
CAN TAKE HIM HOME.

IN A HACKNEY CAB.

BAILEY?
IS IT YOU?

DON'T BE FRIGHTENED.

I BROUGHT HOME
MR. CHUZZLEWIT,

BUT HE AIN'T ILL.

ONLY A LITTLE SWIPEY,
YOU KNOW.

HAVE YOU COME
FROM MRS. TODGERS'?

LOR' BLESS YOU, NOW.

I'VE DONE WITH TODGERS'
LONG AGO.

YOUR HUSBAND'S BEEN
A-DINING WITH ME GOV'NOR
IN THE WEST END.

DIDN'T YOU KNOW?

NO.

DON'T YOU STAND
HERE A-CATCHIN'
YOUR DEATH OF COLD.

I'LL GET HIM.

Bailey:
COME NOW, SIR.

NEARLY THERE.

LOOK AT HER.

YOU'RE A NICE CLOG
FOR A MAN TO BE TIED TO

FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.

YOU MEWLING,
WHITE-FACED CAT.

I KNOW YOU DON'T
MEAN IT, JONAS.

BAILEY, MY GOOD BOY,
GO HOME NOW.

Jonas:
"MEAN IT"?

OH, OF COURSE I MEAN IT.

THINGS HAVE OPENED
TO ME NOW

WHERE I SEE
I COULD HAVE MARRIED
ANYONE I LIKED!

YOU WOULDN'T SAY SUCH THINGS
IF YOU WERE SOBER.

BAILEY, PLEASE TAKE THIS
FOR YOUR KINDNESS
AND BE GONE.

EGAD!

YOU MADE ME BEAR
YOUR HUMORS ONCE.

WELL, NOW I'LL MAKE YOU
BEAR MINE.

ARE YOU SURE
YOU'RE ALL RIGHT?

QUITE SURE.
THANK YOU.

TAKE THIS CANDLE
WITH YOU

AND PULL
THE FRONT DOOR
SHUT BEHIND YOU.

Mercy: IT'S LATE, JONAS.
WON'T YOU COME TO BED?

Jonas: FETCH ME SOME ALE.
I'VE A RAGING THIRST.

YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH
TO DRINK TONIGHT.
COME TO BED.

LEAVE ME ALONE!

NO, JONAS!
DON'T! NO!

STOP THAT MEWLING!

OR I'LL GIVE YOU
SOME MORE OF
THE SAME MEDICINE!

[MERCY SOBBING]

DOWN YOU GO.

MR. JINKINS,
WOULD YOU SEE TO
THE LUGGAGE, PLEASE?

OH, THANK YOU.

OH, COME ON.

[MUTTERING]

GOOD MORNING,
MRS. GAMP.

AH, MR. MOULD.
MRS. MOULD.

OH, FORGIVE ME
IF I DON'T CURTSY,

BUT I DON'T KNOW AS
I SHOULD BE ABLE TO
STRAIGHTEN UP AGAIN.

YOU DO SEEM TO BE
SOMEWHAT INCUMBENT.

GIRLS,
HELP MRS. GAMP
WITH HER BAGS.

OH, THANK YOU, DEARS.

OH, THAT'S
VERY KIND OF YOU, SIR.

OH! OH! I'M ONLY
GOING AWAY FOR 2 DAYS.

BUT YOU NEVER KNOW
WHAT YOU MIGHT NEED
IN THE COUNTRY.

THE COUNTRY?
THAT'S UNUSUAL
FOR YOU.

YES. IT'S ALL ON ACCOUNT OF
THAT GENTLEMAN AT THE BULL

WHAT I BEEN NURSING
FOR A MONTH OR MORE.

REALLY?
HOW IS HE?

OH, DEAR. OF ALL
THE TRYING INWALIEGES

IN THIS WALLEY
OF THE SHADOW.

HE BEATS YOU
BLACK AND BLUE.

A PERSON NEEDS
A CONSTITUTION MADE
OF BRICKS TO STAND IT.

BUT WHY
THE COUNTRY?

OH, MR. WESTLOCK,
THE GENTLEMAN WHAT'S
LOOKING AFTER HIM,

HE THINKS
HE'D BE BETTER OFF
IN HERTFORDSHIRE

WHICH IS HIS NATIVE AIR,

SO I'M GOING DOWN
IN A COACH WITH HIM
THIS MORNING

AND STAY TILL WE GET
A COUNTRY NURSE.

YEH. BUT NATIVE AIRS
WON'T BRING HIM ROUND.

NOR NATIVE GRACES NEITHER,
IF YOU ASK ME.

MY SERVICES MAY BE
REQUIRED YET, THEN,
MRS. GAMP?

WELL, AS TO THAT, SIR,
I DON'T RIGHTLY KNOW.

BUT THERE'S FEVERS OF THE MIND
AS WELL AS THE BODY.

YOU MAY TAKE
THE SLEEPIN' DRAFTS

TILL YOU FLY THROUGH THE AIR
WITH EFFERWESENCE,

BUT YOU WON'T CURE THAT.

THE THINGS
HE SAYS IN HIS SLEEP

AS WOULD MAKE
YOUR BLOOD CURL, MR. MOULD.

WHOO!

MRS. TODGERS?

OH, MR. MODDLE!
YOU MADE ME JUMP.

MRS. TODGERS,
DID I DREAM

OR DID I SEE
MISS CHARITY
ARRIVING EARLIER?

NO, MR. MODDLE,
YOU WEREN'T DREAMING.

MISS CHARITY
HAS COME TO STAY
WITH ME FOR A WHILE.

OH, MRS. TODGERS,
DO YOU THINK

SHE WOULD PERMIT ME
TO SIT WITH HER
SOMETIMES?

I DON'T SEE WHY NOT.

IT WOULD BE A COMFORT TO ME
TO CONTEMPLATE HER NOSE.

HER NOSE, SIR?

HER PROFILE
IN GENERAL.

BUT PARTICULARLY
HER NOSE.

IT'S SO LIKE...

OH! [SOBS]

IT'S SO LIKE HERS
WHO IS ANOTHER'S,
MRS. TODGERS.

NOW, MR. MODDLE...

IF YOU WANT MISS CHARITY
TO BE CIVIL TO YOU,

YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO STOP
ACTING LIKE A WATER PUMP

AND GOING ON ALL THE TIME
ABOUT ANOTHER'S.

IT IS VERY HARD...

AH-AH!

BUT I WILL TRY.

THAT'S THE SPIRIT,
MR. MODDLE.

HEAD UP!

THERE, YOU LOOKS CHARMING.

I FEEL AS IF I WAS IN
SOMEONE ELSE'S CLOTHES.

I'M ALL ON ONE SIDE,

AND YOU'VE MADE
ONE OF MY LEGS SHORTER
THAN THE OTHER.

OH, ALWAYS
COMPLAINING!

I SUPPOSE YOU DON'T
LIKE THAT, NEITHER!

WHY DO YOU MAKE ME
SIT UPON A BOTTLE?

AH! DEUCE
TAKE THE MAN

IF HE HADN'T BEEN AND
PUT MY NIGHT BOTTLE
IN HIS POCKET. HA HA!

MORNING, LADIES.
GOOD MORNING, LEWSOME.

ALL READY?

MY DEAR FELLOW, YOU LOOK
LIKE A GUY FAWKES EFFIGY.

MR. LEWSOME AIN'T
AN EASY GENT TO GET
INTO HIS CLOTHES, SIR.

OH, WESTLOCK.

HOW CAN I THANK YOU
FOR YOUR KINDNESS?

OH, SAY NO MORE
ABOUT IT.

I'M GLAD TO
HAVE THE MEANS
TO HELP YOU.

THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE
I HAVE TO SAY TO YOU.

SOMETHING WHICH HAS BEEN
A DREADFUL WEIGHT

ON MY MIND THROUGHOUT
THIS LONG ILLNESS.

IS IT THE MATTER
YOU WISHED TO
DISCUSS WITH ME

BEFORE
YOU BECAME ILL?

MAY I LEAVE IT
TILL I FEEL STRONGER?

MY DEAR FELLOW,
OF COURSE.

HERE. THE COUNTRY AIR
AND A CHANGE OF SCENERY

WILL MAKE
A NEW MAN OF YOU.

THE COACH IS READY.

LET'S SEE IF WE CAN
MANAGE THE STAIRS
TOGETHER, SHALL WE?

ALL RIGHT,
GIVE ME YOUR ARM.

PLEASE HOLD THIS.

OOH!

I THANKS YOU.

[SNIFFS]

YOUR DARLING SISTER
I'VE ONLY SEEN ONCE
SINCE HER MARRIAGE,

AND THEN I THOUGHT HER
LOOKING RATHER POORLY.

MY DEAR, I ALWAYS
THOUGHT YOU WERE
TO BE THE LADY.

OH, DEAR, NO.

NO, THANK YOU,
MRS. TODGERS.

THERE WAS NO SUCH INTENTION
ON MY SIDE, I ASSURE YOU.

[LAUGHS]

OH. I DARESAY
YOU WERE RIGHT.

BUT THE MISERY WE HAVE
HEARD FROM THAT MATCH

HERE IN THIS HOUSE,
MY DEAR MISS PECKSNIFF,
NOBODY WOULD BELIEVE.

HERE?

AWFUL. AWFUL.

YOU REMEMBER
MY YOUNGEST GENTLEMEN
MR. MODDLE?

OF COURSE.

AND HOW A KIND
OF STONY DULLNESS
CAME OVER HIM

WHENEVER HE WAS IN
YOUR SISTER'S COMPANY?

NO. NO, I DON'T
REMEMBER THAT.

OH, MY DEAR,
I HAVE SEEN HIM
AGAIN AND AGAIN

SITTING OVER HIS PIE
AT DINNER

WITH THE SPOON
A PERFECT FIXTURE
TO HIS MOUTH

GAZING AT
YOUR SISTER.

WELL,
I NEVER NOTICED IT.

BUT WHEN
THE MARRIAGE TOOK PLACE,

WHEN IT WAS
IN THE PAPER,

AND READ OUT
BY MR. JINKINS
AT BREAKFAST,

I THOUGHT HE HAD TAKEN
LEAVE OF HIS SENSES,
I DID INDEED.

THE EXTRAORDINARY
ACTIONS HE PERFORMED
WITH HIS TEA

AND THE CLENCHING WAY

IN WHICH HE BIT
HIS BREAD AND BUTTER,

THE VIOLENT ABUSE
HE HEAPED ON
MR. JINKINS--

I SHALL NEVER FORGET IT
AS LONG AS I LIVE.

IF HE HADN'T
BEEN HELD DOWN BY
3 OF MY GENTLEMEN,

I BELIEVE HE WOULD HAVE
HAD MR. JINKINS' LIFE
WITH A BOOT-JACK.

HOW ABSURD.

THEN HE WENT
INTO A DECLINE.

YOU COULD BRING
THE TEARS INTO HIS EYES

BY JUST
LOOKING AT HIM.

I HAD SUCH A TURN
YESTERDAY

WHEN THE HOUSEMAID
THREW HIS BEDROOM CARPET
OUT OF THE WINDOW.

I THOUGHT IT WAS HIM.
HE'D DONE IT AT LAST.

IT'S A PITY HE DIDN'T.

OH, FIE, MISS CHARITY.

HE SHOULD LIVE TO ENJOY
HIS PROSPECTS.

THERE'S NO HARM
IN THE POOR LAD.

HE HAS PROSPECTS,
DOES HE?

OHH, VERY PROMISING
YOUNG LAWYER,
I UNDERSTAND.

AND HOW IS
YOUR PRINCELY PA?

IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN...

HE HAS HIS EYE ON
A NEW PRINCESS.

OH.

I WOULDN'T HAVE
BELIEVED.

THAT IS WHY I AM HERE.
I WON'T BEAR IT.

QUITE RIGHT, MY DEAR.

WELL, IT ONLY
GOES TO SHOW...

THERE'S
NO TRUSTING A MAN.

WE'RE ALL PLAYTHINGS
OF THEIR PASSIONS.

[ORGAN PLAYING]

Tom: I'VE HAD
NO MORE LETTERS,

BUT DON'T BE UNEASY
ON THAT ACCOUNT.

Mary: I CAN'T
HELP WORRYING.

IT IS WEEKS SINCE
HE WROTE FROM NEW YORK.

HE WARNED
IT MIGHT BE SO.

BESIDES, IT'S
A TRUE SAYING

THAT NOTHING
TRAVELS SO FAST
AS ILL NEWS,

SO YOU MAY
DEPEND UPON IT
THAT HE'S ALL RIGHT.

YOU WERE A GREAT
COMFORT TO ME,
MR. PINCH.

I WISH I COULD'VE
SERVED YOU MORE
IN THAT WAY.

BUT...

BUT WHAT?

IT WILL SEEM
VERY FOOLISH...

VERY PRESUMPTUOUS...

AND RIDICULOUS OF ME,
BUT...

I FEARED YOU MIGHT
SUPPOSE IT POSSIBLE

THAT I SHOULD ADMIRE YOU
TOO MUCH FOR MY OWN PEACE.

MR. PINCH...

I CANNOT TELL YOU
HOW MUCH YOUR SILENT
CARE AND FRIENDSHIP

HAVE MEANT TO ME
THESE PAST WEEKS.

YOU HAVE BEEN
A GOOD ANGEL TO ME.

I'M GLAD OF IT.

IF I, TOO, HAVE SEEMED
SOMEWHAT RESERVED,

IT WAS BECAUSE I DIDN'T
WISH TO DO YOU AN INJURY
WITH YOUR EMPLOYER.

WITH MR. PECKSNIFF?

YOU'VE NO REASON
TO BE AFRAID OF HIM.

HE'S NOT A SPY.

I FEAR
YOU ARE MISTAKEN.

YOU ASTONISH ME,
MISS GRAHAM.

I KNOW WHAT IT IS.

MARTIN HAS PREJUDICED YOU
AGAINST HIM.

IT'S THE MOST
EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE,

BUT EVERY STUDENT
MR. PECKSNIFF HAS EVER HAD

HAS TAKEN A VIOLENT DISLIKE
TO HIM EXCEPT MYSELF.

BUT I KNOW HIM BETTER
THAN ALL OF THEM,

AND I CAN ASSURE YOU
HE IS THE BEST OF MEN.

MR. PINCH, I HOPE
I DON'T OFFEND YOU,

BUT I KNOW
YOU ARE MISTAKEN.

NO! IF IS YOU WHO ARE
MISTAKEN, MISS GRAHAM!

[MARY SOBS]

MISS GRAHAM!
WHAT'S THE MATTER?

HAVE I SAID ANYTHING
TO HURT YOU?

PRAY, TELL ME WHAT
IS DISTRESSING YOU.

THE PERSON WHOM YOU THINK
THE BEST OF MEN...

MR. PECKSNIFF, YES,
WHAT OF HIM?

HE'S BEEN...
MAKING ADVANCES.

TO YOU?

THE OTHER DAY,
HE WAYLAID ME IN THE WOODS

AND FORCED ME TO LISTEN
TO A PROPOSAL OF MARRIAGE.

WHAT?

HE CAUGHT HOLD OF ME
AND WOULDN'T LET ME GO,

FONDLED ME IN
THE MOST OFFENSIVE WAY.

CAN THIS BE TRUE?

MR. PECKSNIFF?

ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
I SWEAR IT.

AND HE SAYS
THAT IF I MARRY HIM,

HE WILL USE HIS INFLUENCE
WITH MR. CHUZZLEWIT

TO RESTORE MARTIN'S HOPES.
BUT IF I REFUSE HIM,

HE WILL MAKE SURE
THEY ARE NEVER RECONCILED.

DO YOU BELIEVE ME?

SO THEY WERE
RIGHT, THEN.

WHO WERE RIGHT?

JOHN WESTLOCK...

MARTIN...

AND THE OTHERS.

ONLY I WAS FOOL ENOUGH
TO BE TAKEN IN.

I KNOW IT IS
A SAD BLOW FOR YOU.

I WOULDN'T HAVE TOLD YOU
IF I COULD'VE HELPED IT.

YES, YES, OF COURSE.

I MUST GO NOW.

YES.

[HITS LOUD, DISCORDANT NOTE
ON ORGAN]

[OUTER DOOR OPENS]

PECKSNIFF,
WHAT'S THE MATTER?

I AM DECEIVED, SIR.

DECEIVED? BY WHOM?

BY SOMEONE IN WHOM
I PLACED UNBOUNDED TRUST.

BY THOMAS PINCH,
OF ALL PEOPLE.

[GASPS]
ARE YOU CERTAIN?

QUITE CERTAIN.

BUT THE WORST OF IT IS,

HIS TREACHERY HURTS YOU
ALSO, MY FRIEND.

HOW?

YOU ALARM ME, PECKSNIFF.

I'M NOT AS STRONG AS I WAS.

HAVE NO FEAR.

I THINK I KNOW MY DUTY
WHEN I SEE IT.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Pecksniff: COME IN.

JANE, HAS MR. PINCH
RETURNED FROM HIS...

ORGAN PRACTICE?

NOT YET, SIR.

WHEN HE DOES, TELL HIM
I WISH TO SEE HIM.

IMMEDIATELY!

YES, SIR.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

COME IN.

YOU WISHED TO SEE ME,
MR. PECKSNIFF?

PLEASE BE SEATED.

WHAT WAS THAT
PRETTY PIECE OF MUSIC

YOU WERE PLAYING
THIS AFTERNOON IN CHURCH,
MR. PINCH?

YOU WERE THERE?

YES, I WAS THERE,
SAYING MY PRAYERS.

LULLED BY THE MUSIC,
I FELL INTO A SLUMBER

FROM WHICH I WAS AWOKEN
BY THE SOUND OF VOICES.

YOUR VOICE
AND MISS GRAHAM'S.

FROM THE FRAGMENTS
I OVERHEARD,

I ASCERTAINED THAT YOU,
MR. PINCH,

FORGETFUL OF ALL TIES
OF HONOR AND DUTY

AND REGARDLESS
OF THE SACRED LAWS
OF HOSPITALITY

HAVE PRESUMED TO
ADDRESS MISS GRAHAM

IN UNRETURNED
PROFESSIONS OF ATTACHMENT

AND PROPOSALS OF LOVE.

I HEARD EVIDENCE
OF OTHER TREACHERY

WHICH I SPARE
TO MENTION NOW.

YOU DO NOT DENY IT,
I SEE.

NO, I DO NOT DENY IT.

OBLIGE ME BY
COUNTING THIS MONEY

AND PUTTING YOUR NAME
ON THIS RECEIPT.

IT IS YOUR
QUARTER'S WAGES.

A PERSON FROM THE DRAGON

WILL CARRY YOUR LUGGAGE
TO WHEREVER YOU PLEASE.

WE PART, MR. PINCH, AT ONCE

AND ARE STRANGERS
FROM THIS TIME ON.

I'M GLAD HE'S GONE.

MR. PINCH.

SO IT'S TRUE THAT
YOU'VE BEEN DISMISSED.

I WOULDN'T WISH
TO STAY HERE ANYWAY,
MISS GRAHAM,

EXCEPT
TO PROTECT YOU.

WHAT DID HE
ACCUSE YOU OF?

OF...

OF MAKING
PROFESSIONS
OF LOVE TO YOU.

WHAT? THE MAN IS
UTTERLY WICKED.

YOU DENIED IT,
OF COURSE.

NO.

BUT...

PECKSNIFF OVERHEARD
OUR CONVERSATION
IN THE CHURCH.

IF I DENIED IT,
HE MIGHT HAVE TOLD
MR. CHUZZLEWIT

THAT YOU WERE
CORRESPONDING
WITH MARTIN.

BUT IT'S SO UNJUST

THAT YOU SHOULD SUFFER
ON MY ACCOUNT.

WHERE WILL YOU GO?

WELL, THE DRAGON TONIGHT

AND TOMORROW TO LONDON.

I'LL TELL MRS. LUPIN

THAT IF ANY LETTER
ARRIVES FROM AMERICA
FOR ME,

IT SHOULD BE
HANDED TO YOU.

GOOD-BYE, MISS GRAHAM.

I HOPE TO SEE YOU
AGAIN UNDER HAPPIER
CIRCUMSTANCES.

GOOD-BYE, MR. PINCH.

AND GOD BLESS YOU.

WELL, I'M OFF, MRS. LUPIN.

AND SORRY I AM TO SEE
YOU GO, MR. PINCH.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S
A PERSON IN THE VILLAGE

I COULD MISS MORE--
OUTSIDE OF MARK TAPLEY.

YOU HAVEN'T ANY MORE
NEWS OF HIM

OR YOUNG MR. CHUZZLEWIT,
I SUPPOSE?

I'M AFRAID NOT.
I'M SURE THEY'RE ALL RIGHT.

I DO HOPE SO.

HERE. TAKE THIS
WITH YOU.

DO YOU WANT TO DELIVER IT
SOMEWHERE IN LONDON?

OH, LORD BLESS YOU,
SIR, NO.

IT'S
A LITTLE REFRESHMENT
FOR THE JOURNEY.

WELL, THIS IS ENOUGH
TO FEED THE WHOLE COACH.

NO MATTER. DANIEL WILL
TAKE YOU AND YOUR LUGGAGE
TO THE CROSSROADS.

YOU'RE VERY KIND,
MRS. LUPIN.

GOODNESS ME.
WHAT ARE ALL THESE
PEOPLE DOING HERE?

I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON
IN THE VILLAGE AS WILL
MISS YOU, MR. PINCH.

All: � FOR HE'S
A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW �

� FOR HE'S
A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW �

� FOR HE'S
A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW �

� AND SO SAY ALL OF US �

HEY!

� AND SO SAY ALL OF US �

� AND SO SAY ALL OF US �

� FOR HE'S
A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW �

� FOR HE'S
A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW �

� FOR HE'S
A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW �

� AND SO SAY ALL OF US! �

BYE, TOM!
BYE, TOM!

GOOD BLESS!

LOOK AFTER
YOURSELF!

GOOD BLESS!

WHY, MR. PINCH!

MISS PECKSNIFF.

WHATEVER ARE
YOU DOING HERE,
MR. PINCH?

I SEEM TO HAVE
RATHER LOST MY WAY.

I HOPE YOU
HAVE RUN AWAY.

IS MY...PARENT
MARRIED YET?

NO. AND TO TELL YOU
THE TRUTH, MISS PECKSNIFF,

I DON'T THINK
HE IS LIKELY TO BE

IF MISS GRAHAM IS
THE OBJECT OF HIS PASSION.

YOU ARE VERY
EASILY DECEIVED.

I WAS DECEIVED IN YOUR
FATHER, I MUST ADMIT.

BUT I HAVE PARTED
FROM HIM FOREVER.

BRAVO. OH, COME AND
TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT.

I RESIDE WITH
MRS. TODGERS
AT PRESENT.

LOOK, JUST
ON THE CORNER.

OH, PRAY, COME.
YOU'LL FIND
MERCY THERE.

I SHOULD LIKE TO,
BUT I MUST FIND
JOHN WESTLOCK'S CHAMBERS

BEFORE IT GETS TOO LATE.

FURNIVALL'S INN? I BELIEVE
IT'S ABOUT HERE SOMEWHERE.

YES. WELL, AUGUSTUS
SHALL ESCORT YOU.

AUGUSTUS?

MR. AUGUSTUS MODDLE,

MY INTENDED.

COME ON.

[DOOR OPENS]

Charity: OH, MARY,
WHO DO YOU THINK I
FOUND IN THE STREET

AND BROUGHT TO SEE YOU?

MR. PINCH!

HE HAS QUARRELED
WITH PAPA,

AND I HAVE PROMISED

THAT AUGUSTUS SHALL
SHOW HIM THE WAY
TO FURNIVALL'S INN.

AUGUSTUS!

AUGUSTUS!

MISS MERCY,
THIS IS AN
UNEXPECTED PLEASURE.

MY GRACIOUS ME.

I WONDER YOU FIND
ANY GRATIFICATION

IN SEEING ME,
MR. PINCH.

THERE WAS NO LOVE LOST
BETWEEN US AT ANY TIME,
I THINK.

I HOPED YOU WOULD BE
GLAD TO SHAKE HANDS
WITH AN OLD FRIEND.

IF I EVER OFFENDED YOU,
MISS MERCY, I AM SORRY.

MISS MERCY!

M-M-MRS. CHUZZLEWIT,
I SHOULD SAY--
WHAT'S THE MATTER?

PLEASE DON'T CRY.
HERE.

EXCUSE ME.

YOU MAKE ME ASHAMED
OF MY PAST CONDUCT
TOWARDS YOU, MR. PINCH.

ARE YOU GOING?

YES, I MUST.

HOW IS OLD MR. CHUZZLEWIT?

UM, SOMEWHAT FRAIL
THESE DAYS, I HAVE TO SAY.

NEXT TIME YOU SEE HIM,

TELL HIM I OFTEN
THINK OF OUR CONVERSATION
IN THE CHURCH YARD.

CERTAINLY.

I DON'T KNOW WHEN
I SHALL HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY, BUT--

I SHOULD LIKE HIM
TO KNOW HOW TRUE
HIS WORDS WERE.

I WISH I HAD HEEDED THEM.

TELL HIM IF EVER HE
SHOULD COUNSEL A VAIN,
FOOLISH YOUNG GIRL AGAIN,

TO PERSEVERE JUST
A LITTLE LONGER.

I DO NOT BLAME HIM,

BUT IT MIGHT SAVE HER
MUCH UNHAPPINESS.

GOOD-BYE, MR. PINCH.

GOOD-BYE, MRS. TODGERS.
I MUST GO HOME.

GOOD-BYE, MY DEAR.

COME AGAIN TOMORROW?

THANK YOU. I'LL
SEE MYSELF OUT.

MR. PINCH, I WISH YOU
GOOD FORTUNE IN YOUR
NEW LIFE.

AYE, SIR. YOU'RE
AN OLD FRIEND, I SEE.

YES.

BUT SHE TOLD YOU
WHAT HER TROUBLES ARE,
I'M CERTAIN.

NO, SHE HAS NOT.

BUT I KNOW.

I KNOW.

AND I SAY IT'S
A CRYING SHAME.

HERE WE ARE!

MR. THOMAS PINCH,
MR. AUGUSTUS MODDLE.

WHERE'S MY SISTER?

SHE HAD
TO GO HOME.

OH. HOW VEXING.

I WANTED TO SHOW
HER SOMETHING

I'VE JUST BOUGHT
FOR MY TROUSSEAU.

HOW DID YOU FIND HER,
MR. PINCH?

WELL...

NOT AS I
WOULD HAVE HOPED.

SHE'S GREATLY ALTERED
NO? SINCE SHE'S BEEN IN A--

SINCE SHE'S
BEEN MARRIED.

Charity: MY DEAR AUGUSTUS,
WHAT A PROSE YOU ARE.

YOU MUST HAVE SAID THAT
50,000 TIMES
IN MY PRESENCE.

NOW MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL

AND SHOW MR. PINCH
THE WAY TO FURNIVALL'S INN.

OH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
MR. MODDLE.

MAY I CONGRATULATE YOU
ON YOUR ENGAGEMENT?

I WISH YOU JOY.

JOY?

THE SCORNER HAS NOT SET
HIS SEAL UPON YOU, I SEE.

THE SCORNER?

YOU CARE
WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU?

WELL, YES, I MUST
ADMIT I DO.

I DON'T.

THE ELEMENTS MAY HAVE ME
WHEN THEY PLEASE!

GOOD DAY.

COME IN.

TOM?

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?

I'M DELIGHTED
TO SEE YOU.

COME IN, COME IN.
SIT DOWN.

I'LL GET YOU
A CHERRY BRANDY.

UH, BISCUIT?

GRAPES?

WHAT'S THE NEWS, EH?

HOW IS PECKSNIFF?

I DON'T KNOW,
AND I DON'T CARE.

I'VE LEFT HIM, JOHN.

VOLUNTARILY?

WELL, NO, HE--

DISMISSED ME.

I-I'LL TELL YOU
HOW IT HAPPENED
ANOTHER TIME

IF YOU DON'T MIND.

BUT YOU WERE RIGHT
IN YOUR ESTIMATE
OF HIS CHARACTER, JOHN.

UPON MY SOUL.

WHEN I SEE HOW
UPSET YOU ARE, TOM,

I DON'T KNOW WHETHER
TO BE GLAD OR SORRY

THAT YOU'VE MADE
THIS DISCOVERY
AT LAST.

IT'S VERY KIND OF YOU
NOT TO CRY, "I TOLD YOU SO."

MY DEAR FELLOW.

NOW, WHAT
ARE YOUR PLANS?

WHERE'S YOUR BOX?

YOU'LL STAY
WITH ME, OF COURSE.

OH, WELL, I DON'T
INTEND TO--

NEVER MIND
WHAT YOU INTENDED.

WELL...I MUST LOOK
FOR A NEW POSITION,
OF COURSE.

BUT FIRST OF ALL,
I MUST VISIT MY SISTER
IN CAMBERWELL.

DOES MISS PINCH
LIVE HERE?

MISS PINCH IS
THE GOVERNESS HERE.

IS SHE AT HOME?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW,
I'M SURE.

WELL, WOULD YOU
HAVE THE GOODNESS
TO FIND OUT?

I WISH TO SEE HER.

ANY NAME?

SAY HER BROTHER,
IF YOU PLEASE.

COME IN.

SIR.

TOM.

WHAT A LOVELY
SURPRISE.

RUTH.

OH! BLESS MY SOUL,

WHAT A LOVELY YOUNG WOMAN
YOU'VE BECOME.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE
RECOGNIZED YOU

IF I PASSED YOU
IN THE STREET.

DON'T BE SILLY.

IT'S TRUE.

BUT YOU'VE BEEN CRYING.

NO.

YES, YOU HAVE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?

[SHOUTING IN NEXT ROOM]

I CAN'T TELL YOU NOW.

AREN'T YOU HAPPY HERE?

NO.

NOT VERY HAPPY, TOM.

MR. JONES, MRS. JONES,
MISS JONES.

MY BROTHER TOM, SIR.

ARE YOU REALLY
MISS PINCH'S BROTHER?

I DON'T OBSERVE
ANY RESEMBLANCE,
I'M BOUND TO SAY.

MISS PINCH IS ALWAYS
TALKING ABOUT HER BROTHER

WHEN SHE SHOULD BE
TEACHING ME MY LESSONS.

HOLD YOUR TONGUE,
GEORGINA.

MR. PINCH,

YOU COME AT
AN OPPORTUNE MOMENT.

I'M SORRY
TO INFORM YOU

THAT WE ARE
NOT AT ALL SATISFIED

WITH YOUR SISTER.

MAY I ASK
ON WHAT GROUNDS?

MISS PINCH
IS PERFECTLY UNABLE

TO WIN MY
DAUGHTER'S RESPECT.

INDEED.

NATURALLY,
MRS. JONES AND I

DESIRE THAT OUR DAUGHTER

SHOULD BE GENTEEL
IN HER EXPRESSIONS

AND SUITABLY DISTANT
TO HER INFERIORS

THAT BECOMES HER STATION
IN SOCIETY.

IMAGINE MY FEELINGS
WHEN I HEARD HER
ONLY THIS MORNING

ADDRESSING MISS PINCH
AS A BEGGAR!

A BEGGARLY THING,
DEAR.

A BEGGARLY THING,
WHICH IS WORSE.

A LOW, COARSE,
DESPICABLE EXPRESSION.

I QUITE AGREE.
MOST DESPICABLE.

IF I HADN'T KNOWN
MISS PINCH WAS AN ORPHAN
WITHOUT FRIENDS,

I WOULD HAVE
SEVERED OUR CONNECTION
ON THE SPOT.

BLESS MY SOUL, SIR,

DON'T ALLOW
SUCH CONSIDERATIONS
TO INFLUENCE YOU.

SHE IS NOT
WITHOUT FRIENDS.

SHE IS READY TO
DEPART THIS INSTANT.

RUTH, MY DEAR,
GET YOUR BONNET ON.

NICE FAMILY.
HE'S HER BROTHER,

THERE'S NO DOUBT
ABOUT THAT.

AS LITTLE DOUBT,
MADAM,

AS THAT
THIS YOUNG LADY

IS THE PRODUCT
OF YOUR EXAMPLE
AND NOT MY SISTER'S.

YOU ARE A VERY
IMPERTINENT YOUNG MAN.

ON THE CONTRARY.
I STATE
THE SIMPLE TRUTH.

HOW CAN MY SISTER
COMMAND YOUR
DAUGHTER'S RESPECT

WHEN SHE CANNOT
COMMAND YOUR OWN
OR YOUR WIFE'S

OR YOUR FOOTMAN'S?

THIS IS PRETTY WELL,
UPON MY WORD!

IT IS VERY ILL, SIR.

IT IS VERY MEAN
AND WRONG AND CRUEL.

MISS PINCH'S MONEY,
MY DEAR.

HOW MUCH DO WE OWE HER?

DON'T
TROUBLE YOURSELF
WITH THAT NOW, SIR.

YOU MAY SEND IT
AFTER US ALONG WITH
MY SISTER'S BOX.

RUTH, GO AND
GET YOUR BONNET.

YES, TOM.

IF YOU IMAGINE, SIR,

THAT THE PAYMENT OF
AN ANNUAL SUM OF MONEY

GIVES YOU THE RIGHT
TO TREAT ITS RECIPIENT
WITH CONTEMPT,

THEN YOU VERY MUCH
EXAGGERATE ITS POWER
AND VALUE.

YOUR MONEY IS THE LEAST
PART OF YOUR BARGAIN
IN SUCH A CASE.

AND...

AND THAT'S ALL
I HAVE TO SAY.

EXCEPT TO CRAVE PERMISSION
TO WAIT IN YOUR GARDEN

UNTIL MY SISTER
IS READY TO DEPART.

TOM.
YES?

WHERE ARE WE GOING?

BLESS MY SOUL,
I DON'T KNOW.

DON'T YOU LIVE
ANYWHERE, DEAR?

NOT EXACTLY.

I ONLY ARRIVED
IN LONDON YESTERDAY.

I'VE LEFT PECKSNIFF
FOR GOOD, YOU KNOW.

I STAYED LAST NIGHT
WITH A BACHELOR FRIEND,
BUT I CAN HARDLY--

WE MUST FIND
SOME LODGINGS.

WHERE SHALL WE GO
LOOK FOR THEM?

I HAVE NO IDEA.

IT OUGHT TO BE
A CHEAP NEIGHBORHOOD,

NOT TOO FAR FROM LONDON.

SHOULD YOU THINK
ISLINGTON A GOOD PLACE?

IT USED TO BE KNOWN
AS MARY ISLINGTON
ONCE UPON A TIME.

I SHOULD THINK IT WAS
AN EXCELLENT PLACE.

DEAR TOM, ANYWHERE WITH
YOU WOULD BE A PALACE

COMPARED TO THAT
OVER-FURNISHED
PRISON HOUSE.

THEN LET US GO
TO ISLINGTON.

[PLAYING HARPSICHORD]

[WHISTLING]

Martin: MY DEAREST LOVE,

IT IS MANY MONTHS
SINCE I LAST WROTE TO YOU,

AND I KNOW THAT THE LONG
INTERVAL WILL HAVE CAUSED
YOU GREAT ANXIETY,

BUT THERE WERE REASONS.

OUR JOURNEY WEST
WAS LONG AND SLOW,

BY STAGECOACH, WAGON,
AND FINALLY, RIVERBOAT.

THE FURTHER WE TRAVELED,
THE BLEAKER AND EMPTIER
THE PROSPECT BECAME,

YET I CLUNG TO MY BELIEF THAT
THERE WAS A GLEAMING WHITE CITY
OF STREETS, SPIRES, AND DOMES

AROUND THE NEXT BEND
OF THE RIVER.

AT LAST, EARLY ONE MORNING,
WE ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION.

THE WATER WAS TOO SHALLOW
FOR THE PADDLE BOAT TO TIE UP,
SO WE WERE ROWED ASHORE.

OH, MY GOD.

KEEP A GOOD HEART, SIR.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
IS OFTEN MISLEADING.

THERE'S AN EDENER.
HE'LL GIVE US DIRECTIONS.

NEWCOMERS.

THE VERY SAME.

THIS IS MR. CHUZZLEWIT,
AND I'M COLE.

HOW ARE YOU, SIR?

I'VE HAD THE FEVER,
VERY BAD.

THESE ARE
YOUR NOTIONS, I SEE.

YOU COULDN'T
RECOMMEND SOMEONE
AS COULD LEND A HAND

TO HELP CARRY THEM UP
TO THE TOWN, COULD YOU, SIR?

WHAT TOWN?

WHY, EDEN.

THIS IS EDEN.

[SOBS]

Mark: BEAR UP, SIR.
DON'T GIVE WAY.

YOU'VE GOT THE PLAN
TO OUR PROPERTY?

Old Man: MY ELDEST SON
WOULD HELP YOU IF HE COULD,

BUT HE HAS THE CHILL
UPON HIM.

MY YOUNGEST DIED...

LAST WEEK.

I'M SORRY TO HEAR IT,
GOVERNOR, WITH ALL MY HEART.

WE'LL CARRY THE BOXES
OURSELVES, SIR,

ONE BY ONE.

THERE AIN'T MANY
PEOPLE ABOUT THAT TAKE
WHAT DON'T BELONG TO THEM.

THAT'S A COMFORT.

NO. YOU MUST LOOK
FOR SUCH FOLK HERE.

WE BURIED MOST OF THEM.

THE REST HAVE GONE AWAY.

THE AIR AIN'T QUITE
WHOLESOME, I SUPPOSE.

IT'S DEADLY POISON.

DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW
WHERE PLOT 37 IS?

LAST CABIN UPRIVER.

SAUL POTTER HAD IT.

HE'S DEAD, TOO.

Martin: OUR PROPERTY
TURNED OUT TO BE AN ACRE
OF WATERLOGGED LAND

AND A MISERABLE HUT
WITHOUT EVEN A DOOR TO IT.

WHEN I SAW THAT HOVEL,
THE UTTER FOLLY OF MY CONDUCT

AND THE VANITY OF MY DREAMS
SMOTE ME TO MY HEART,

AND I LAY MYSELF
UPON THE GROUND AND WEPT.

I TRULY BELIEVE THAT
IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR MARK,

I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN OUT
MY RAZOR AND CUT MY THROAT.

INSTEAD OF REPROACHING ME
FOR SQUANDERING HIS SAVINGS
ON THIS USELESS PATCH OF SWAMP,

HE SET ABOUT MAKING
THE PLACE HABITABLE,

AND SAID THAT NO DOUBT
IT WOULD LOOK JOLLIER
IN THE MORNING,

BUT BY THEN I WAS ALREADY
IN THE GRIP OF FEVER.

I WAS ILL FOR WEEKS,
HOVERING ON THE EDGE OF DEATH.

THEN, WHEN I RECOVERED,
MARK SUCCUMBED,

AND IT WAS MY TURN
TO PLAY THE PART OF NURSE.

I HAD AMPLE TIME FOR
REFLECTION AS I WATCHED
BESIDE HIS BED.

I REALIZED THAT NOT ONLY
MY RECENT CONDUCT,

BUT THE WHOLE OF MY LIFE
HAD BEEN CHARACTERIZED
BY SELFISHNESS.

AND I SILENTLY RESOLVED
THAT, IF EVER I ESCAPED
FROM THIS SLOUGH OF DESPOND,

I WOULD BE MORE RESPONSIVE
TO THE NEEDS OF OTHERS.

WE BOTH KNEW THAT,
ONCE MARK WAS RECOVERED,

WE MUST GET OUT OF EDEN
OR DIE THERE,

BUT WE HAD NO MONEY TO PAY
FOR THE JOURNEY HOME.

ALL WE HAD WAS YOUR RING.

I HAD VOWED NEVER
TO PART WITH IT,

BUT MARK TOLD ME THAT
HE KNEW YOU HAD BOUGHT IT
WITH YOUR OWN MONEY

FOR JUST SUCH
AN EXTREMITY AS THIS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
AFFECTED ME MOST, MY DARLING;

GRATITUDE
FOR YOUR GENEROSITY

OR SHAME THAT I HAD NOT
RECOGNIZED IT BEFORE.

THE CAPTAIN OF THE PADDLE BOAT
TOOK THE RING

AS SURETY FOR OUR PASSAGE
BACK TO CINCINNATI,

WHERE WE WERE ABLE
TO SELL IT FOR ENOUGH
MONEY TO GET TO NEW YORK.

MARK IS HOPEFUL OF OBTAINING
THE POSITION OF COOK

ON SOME SHIP
BOUND FOR ENGLAND,

AND HIS WAGES WILL PAY FOR
MY PASSAGE AS WELL AS HIS.

IF WE ARE LUCKY--

"IF WE ARE LUCKY,
WE MAY BE HOME BEFORE
THIS LETTER REACHES YOU."

WHAT WOULD YOU
LIKE FOR DINNER, TOM?

I DON'T KNOW, DEAR.
WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST?

I THOUGHT PERHAPS
SOME CHOPS.

WELL, WE'VE HAD CHOPS
EVERY DAY SINCE WE
CAME TO ISLINGTON.

I DON'T KNOW, TOM.

I THINK I COULD MAKE
A BEEFSTEAK PUDDING

IF I TRIED.

IN THE WHOLE
CATALOG OF COOKERY,

THERE IS NOTHING
I SHOULD LIKE SO MUCH
AS A BEEFSTEAK PUDDING.

ONLY IF IT SHOULD NOT
TURN OUT QUITE RIGHT
THE FIRST TIME,

IF IT SHOULD NOT BE
A PUDDING, EXACTLY,

BUT A STEW OR A SOUP
OR SOMETHING
OF THAT SORT,

YOU'LL NOT BE VEXED,
WILL YOU?

NO. I PROMISE.

THEN I'LL GO
AND BUY THE MEAT.

WHAT ARE YOU
WRITING, DEAR?

WELL, JOHN WESTLOCK
HAS VERY KINDLY OFFERED

TO LOOK OUT FOR
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ME,

SO I THOUGHT I'D PREPARE
A BRIEF DESCRIPTION

OF MYSELF
AND MY QUALIFICATIONS

SUCH AS HE COULD
SHOW HIS FRIENDS.

BUT BLESS ME IF I
CAN GET ANY FURTHER

THAN "A RESPECTABLE
YOUNG MAN AGED 35."

YOU NEED NOT TROUBLE
YOURSELF WITH THAT
ANY FURTHER, TOM.

JOHN.

GOOD HEAVENS,
COME IN, COME IN.

I BEG YOUR PARDON,

YOUR SISTER'S
PARDON ESPECIALLY,

BUT I COULDN'T HELP
BUT OVERHEAR AS I
WAS COMING UP THE PATH.

RUTH, MY DEAR,
THIS IS JOHN WESTLOCK,

OF WHOM I'VE SPOKEN
TO YOU SO OFTEN.

HOW DO YOU DO?

I'M DELIGHTED TO
MAKE YOUR ACQUAINTANCE,
MISS PINCH.

JOHN, MY DEAR FELLOW,

SIT DOWN. SIT DOWN.

I WAS GOING TO
CALL UPON YOU TODAY.

I, UH...

I BRING YOU
EXCELLENT NEWS.

IT SEEMS YOU HAVE FRIENDS
IN LONDON AFTER ALL.

I? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

AS I WAS HAVING BREAKFAST
THIS MORNING,

A GENTLEMAN CALLED ON ME,

A VERY SOBER-LOOKING
LAWYER NAMED MR. FIPS.

YOU DON'T KNOW HIM,
DO YOU?

NEVER HEARD OF HIM
BEFORE IN MY LIFE.

NEITHER HAD I.

HE BEGAN BY SAYING,
"I BELIEVE
YOU ARE ACQUAINTED

WITH MR.
THOMAS PINCH,"

AND I SAID I WAS.

"I UNDERSTAND MR. PINCH

HAS RECENTLY
LEFT THE EMPLOY
OF A MR. PECKSNIFF

AND HE'S LIVING
IN LONDON," HE SAID.

"VERY NEAR LONDON,"
I SAID.

"IS HE, BY ANY CHANCE,
IN SEARCH OF ANOTHER
SITUATION?" HE SAID.

"WELL, INDEED HE IS,"
I SAID.

THEN HE SAID,
"I THINK I CAN
ACCOMMODATE HIM."

TOM!

GOOD GRACIOUS, ME.

HE SAID HE HAD A CLIENT

WHO WAS IN WANT
OF A KIND OF SECRETARY
AND LIBRARIAN,

THAT, UH, THOUGH
THE SALARY WAS SMALL,

BEING BUT �100 A YEAR--

UH...�100 A YEAR?

STILL, THE DUTIES
WERE NOT HEAVY,
AND THERE THE POST WAS,

VACANT AND READY
FOR YOUR ACCEPTANCE.

DO YOU HEAR, RUTH, �100?

IT'S LIKE A FAIRY TALE.

I CAN TELL YOU,
MISS PINCH...

I HALF SUSPECTED HIM
OF BEING A SUPERNATURAL
AGENT MYSELF,

UNTIL HE TOOK OUT
HIS POCKETBOOK AND...

HANDED ME THIS CARD.

"MR. OSWALD FIPS,
SOLICITOR, AUSTIN FRIARS."

John: WHERE HE HAS
HIS OFFICES AND
AWAITS YOUR CALL.

LET US GO THERE AT ONCE.
RUTH, MY DEAR,
YOU WILL EXCUSE US?

OF COURSE.
I'LL GO AND GET YOUR HAT.

WAIT A MINUTE.

WHO IS THIS CLIENT
OF MR. FIPS?

I HAVE NO IDEA, TOM.
FIPS WOULDN'T TELL ME.

OH, WELL. DOUBTLESS
I SHALL FIND OUT.

JOHN, YOU WILL DINE
WITH US THIS EVENING.

RUTH IS MAKING
A STEAK PUDDING.

I SHOULD LIKE
NOTHING BETTER
IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.

TOM?
YES, DEAR?

YOU WOULDN'T
RATHER HAVE CHOPS?

I WOULDN'T.

WHAT ABOUT YOU,
JOHN?

STEAK PUDDING IS ONE
OF MY FAVORITE DISHES.

VERY WELL, THEN.

THIS IS MY PLACE
OF WORK?

IT HAS BEEN
RATHER NEGLECTED
OF LATE,

AS YOU CAN SEE.

WHAT AN AMAZING
NUMBER OF BOOKS.

BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE
CAN BE DONE,

WE MUST HAVE THEM
PUT IN ORDER,

CATALOGUED,

AND ARRANGED UPON
THE BOOKSHELVES, MR. PINCH.

THAT WILL DO
TO BEGIN WITH, I THINK.

THAT WILL BE A TASK
FULL OF INTEREST FOR ME.

UNTIL MR...

UNTIL MR...

I DON'T BELIEVE
YOU MENTIONED
THE GENTLEMAN'S NAME.

DIDN'T I?

NO, I DON'T THINK I DID.

WELL, I DARESAY
HE'LL BE HERE
ONE OF THESE DAYS

TO INTRODUCE HIMSELF.

YOU'LL GET ON
VERY WELL TOGETHER,
I'M SURE.

YOU HAVE A KEY.

HALF PAST 9:00,
YOU KNOW.

LET US SAY

FROM HALF PAST 9:00
TO 4:00.

OR THEREABOUTS.

A LITTLE EARLIER
OR A LITTLE LATER,

ACCORDING TO AS YOU
FEEL DISPOSED.

YOU WON'T FORGET

TO LOCK THE DOOR BEHIND YOU
WHEN YOU LEAVE?

GOOD DAY TO YOU.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

COME IN.

MR. NADGETT, SIR.

SHOW HIM IN, BAILEY.

AH.

WELL, MR. NADGETT.

I THINK I HAVE
SOME INFORMATION

THAT WOULD BE
OF INTEREST TO YOU, SIR.

GOOD.

I WAS BEGINNING TO FEAR
YOU WERE OFF THE SCENT.

WE HAVE TO BE PATIENT
IN THIS LINE OF WORK,
SIR.

WILL YOU
PERUSE MY NOTES?

I WISH YOU WOULD
GIVE ME THEIR DRIFT

BY WORD OF MOUTH,
MY GOOD FRIEND.

WE DON'T LIKE
WORD OF MOUTH, SIR.

WE NEVER KNOW
WHO MAY BE LISTENING.

AH.

READ THROUGH
TO THE END, SIR.

THERE IS MORE INTEREST
AS IT GOES ON.

YOU ARE
A REMARKABLE MAN,
MR. NADGETT.

I THINK IT IS
A PRETTY GOOD CASE, SIR.

IT COST SOME TROUBLE.

THE TROUBLE SHALL BE
WELL REWARDED.

THERE IS
A DEEPER IMPRESSION

OF SOMEBODY'S HOOF HERE
THAN I HAD EXPECTED.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

AND I HAVE REASON TO THINK

THAT THAT IS
THE MAN HIMSELF.

HE SAID HE WOULD
CALL ON ME THIS MORNING.

I'D BETTER GO.

DON'T LEAVE US ALONE
TOGETHER, MR. NADGETT.

SEAT YOURSELF OVER THERE
IN THE CORNER.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

MR. CHUZZLEWIT
TO SEE YOU, SIR.

SHOW HIM IN, BAILEY.

OH, MY DEAR CHUZZLEWIT,
YOU'RE UP WITH THE LARK.

ECOD, I'D RATHER BE UP
THAN LYING AWAKE IN BED,

COUNTING DISMAL
CHURCH CLOCKS.

YOU DON'T SLEEP WELL?

WELL ENOUGH.

I SEE OLD
WHAT'S-HIS-NAME IS HERE,

LOOKING AS IF HE MIGHT
SKULK UP AND DOWN
THE CHIMNEYS AS USUAL.

HE MAY GO, MAYN'T HE?

OH, LET NADGETT STAY.

HE'S COPYING OUT
A REPORT FOR ME.

HE UNDERSTANDS
HIS BUSINESS.

WELL, TALKING
OF BUSINESS,

I'D LIKE TO HAVE
A WORD WITH YOU

BEFORE THE BOARD
MEETS TODAY.

I'M NOT SATISFIED
WITH THE STATE
OF AFFAIRS.

NOT SATISFIED?

WELL, THE MONEY COMES IN
WELL ENOUGH, DOES IT NOT?

YES, IT COMES IN
WELL ENOUGH,

BUT IT CAN'T BE
GOT AT WELL ENOUGH.

I MAY BE CALLED
A DIRECTOR,

BUT I DON'T HAVE
ANY POWER. YOU HAVE
ALL THE MONEY.

I GIVE YOU MY HONOR.

HONOR?

YOU MAY KEEP
YOUR HONOR.

WHAT IF YOU TAKE IT
INTO YOUR HONORABLE HEAD

TO DISAPPEAR ABROAD
WITH ALL THE FIRM'S CAPITAL?

WELL, THERE'S NOTHING
I CAN DO TO PREVENT IT.

WELL, THAT WON'T DO.

WON'T DO?

I'M SORRY TO FIND YOU
IN THIS HUMOR TODAY,
NO, IT WCHUZZLEWIT.

I WAS ABOUT TO PROPOSE

THAT YOU SHOULD VENTURE
A LITTLE MORE WITH US.

OH, YOU WERE,
WERE YOU?

YES, AND TO SUGGEST
THAT YOU MAY PERSUADE
SOME OF YOUR FRIENDS

TO JOIN YOU.

VERY KIND OF YOU.
AND ALL TO MY
ADVANTAGE, I SUPPOSE?

OH, VERY MUCH SO.

AND YOU'LL SHOW ME HOW,
OF COURSE.

OF COURSE.

BUT SINCE
WE ARE NOT ALONE,

I HAD BETTER WHISPER.

[INAUDIBLE]

HMM.

YOU'LL NOT OBJECT,
I THINK,

TO VENTURE A LITTLE FURTHER
WITH THIS, MY FRIEND.

NO.

WELL SAID.

I WAS THINKING
YESTERDAY

THAT NO DOUBT
YOUR FATHER-IN-LAW,
PECKSNIFF,

RELYING ON YOUR
GREAT SAGACITY
IN BUSINESS MATTERS

WOULD JOIN US, TOO,

IF THE THING WERE
WELL-PRESENTED TO HIM.

HE HAS MONEY.

YES, HE HAS MONEY.
YES.

SHALL I LEAVE
MR. PECKSNIFF TO YOU?

I'LL TRY.

A THOUSAND THANKS.

SHALL WE WALK DOWNSTAIRS?

FOLLOW US, NADGETT,
IF YOU PLEASE.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[FOOTSTEPS,
DOOR CLOSES]

[CHURCH BELL RINGING]

JOHN.

THIS IS A PLEASANT
SURPRISE.

UH, MR. WESTLOCK
HAPPENED TO PASS BY

AS I WAS WAITING
FOR YOU, TOM.

WELL, WHAT A PIECE
OF LUCK.

RUTH OFTEN
MEETS ME HERE
AFTER WORK, JOHN.

YES, I KNOW.

I KNOW NOW.

UH, LISTEN. I HAVE
A PROPOSAL TO MAKE.

WOULD YOU BOTH
DINE WITH ME?

WHAT, THIS VERY
EVENING?

YES. NOTHING
ELABORATE, MIND.

YOU MUST
TAKE ME VERY MUCH
AS YOU FIND ME.

SHOULD YOU
LIKE THAT, RUTH?

I SHOULD LIKE IT
VERY MUCH, TOM,
IF YOU WOULD.

THEN WE ACCEPT
WITH PLEASURE.

EXCELLENT. IF YOU WOULD
CARE TO STROLL AROUND
FOR HALF AN HOUR OR SO,

UH, I SHALL BE READY
TO RECEIVE YOU
AT HALF PAST 5.

IN THE MEANTIME,
WE'LL GO DOWN
TO THE RIVER.

THERE'S ALWAYS
SOMETHING TO SEE
THERE.

[SHIP'S HORN BLOWS]

Tom: SHE MUST BE
LEAVING SOON.

WHERE'S
THE BOAT GOING?

ANTWERP.

EXCUSE ME.

EXCUSE ME.
IS THIS THE--

IS THIS
THE ANTWERP BOAT?

SO I UNDERSTAND.

I DO BEG YOUR PARDON.

I--I AM RATHER INFIRM,
AND MY EYES ARE NOT
WHAT THEY WERE.

YOU DON'T SEE
A GENTLEMAN
IN A LARGE CLOAK

AND A LADY WITH HIM
IN A SHAWL BOARDING
THE BOAT BY ANY CHANCE?

Tom: NO,
I'M AFRAID NOT.

PERHAPS THEY'RE
ALREADY ON BOARD.

I HAVEN'T SEEN THEM.

UH, FORWARD, THERE,
ON THE GANGPLANK.

Ruth: THERE
THEY ARE, TOM.

Tom: YES. GENTLEMAN
IN A LONG BLACK COAT
DOWN TO HIS ANKLES

AND A LADY WITH HIM.
IS THAT WHO YOU MEAN?

YEAH. WOULD YOU DO ME
A KINDNESS, SIR?

A VERY GREAT KINDNESS.

WOULD YOU PLACE
THIS LETTER IN HIS HAND
BEFORE THE SHIP SAILS?

I'M CHARGED
BY MY EMPLOYERS
TO DELIVER IT,

BUT, WELL, I SHOULD
NEVER BE ABLE TO GET
ON BOARD IN TIME.

OF COURSE.

TOM.

WAIT HERE TILL
I GET BACK, RUTH.
EXCUSE ME.

EXCUSE ME, PLEASE.

[SHIP'S HORN BLOWS]

SIR.

SIR.

MR. JONAS.

WHAT THE DEVIL
ARE YOU DOING HERE?

MR. PINCH.

MISS MERCY.

I MEAN
MRS. CHUZZLEWIT.

I WAS ASKED A MOMENT
AGO TO GIVE YOU
THIS LETTER.

YOU WERE POINTED OUT
TO ME AS A MAN
IN A CLOAK.

I HAD NO IDEA
IT WAS YOU.

WHO GAVE YOU THIS?

THE MAN UP THERE.

Sailor: ANYONE FOR SHORE?

OH, HE'S GONE.

YES, WE'RE COMING!

TAKE YOUR BAG, WOMAN.

GIVE US TIME!

WHERE ARE WE GOING?

I THOUGHT YOU HAD TO GO
TO ANTWERP ON BUSINESS.

I'VE CHANGED MY MIND.
WE MUST GO BACK.

STOP THERE!
WE'RE FOR THE SHORE!

KEEP YOUR NOSE
OUT OF MY AFFAIRS,
PINCH.

I'VE WARNED YOU
ONCE BEFORE.

[SHIP'S HORN BLOWS]

Tom: HE DRAGGED OFF
THE BOAT LIKE A MAN
POSSESSED--

AND SO VIOLENTLY,
I'M SURE HE HURT HER.

THEN HE BUNDLED HER
INTO A CAB,

SAID SOMETHING
TO THE DRIVER,

AND GOT INTO ANOTHER
CAB HIMSELF.

I JUST DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO MAKE OF IT.

I'M AFRAID THERE IS
SOMETHING DARK AT WORK
HERE, TOM.

AND I DON'T LIKE TO
THINK THAT MISS MERCY
SUSPECTS ME

OF BEING PART OF A PLOT
AGAINST HER HUSBAND.

I THINK YOU SHOULD
TRY TO SEE HER

AND DISASSOCIATE
YOURSELF FROM THIS BUSINESS.

[CLOCK CHIMING]

OH, TOM, YOU'RE
NEGLECTING YOUR DINNER

AND KEEPING YOUR SISTER
FROM HER DESSERT.

DIDN'T I TELL YOU HE WAS
A MOST TREMENDOUS FELLOW
AT HIS HOUSEKEEPING.

OH, MISS PINCH, THIS IS
THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE

WE BACHELORS LEAD
IN A PLACE LIKE THIS.

WE'RE A SAD SET
FOR THE MOST PART.

MMM, WELL, I DON'T SEE
HOW YOU COULD BE
MORE COMFORTABLE.

DO YOU, RUTH?

I THINK MR. WESTLOCK
IS PERFECTLY HAPPY HERE.

NO, NO. PERFECTLY
MISERABLE, I ASSURE YOU.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

John: UH, EXCUSE ME.

OH, LEWSOME,
THIS IS A SURPRISE.

I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

BUT YOU HAVE GUESTS.

YES. WILL YOU STEP IN
AND MEET THEM?

NO. NO. I MUST
SEE YOU ALONE.

I'LL COME
BACK TOMORROW.

I'M SORRY,
MY DEAR FELLOW--

NO, I'VE PUT THIS
THING OFF FOR MONTHS.

ANOTHER NIGHT
DOESN'T SIGNIFY.

UNTIL TOMORROW, THEN.

NOT HANDSOME,
CHUZZLEWIT?

NOT HANDSOME,
UPON MY SOUL.

WHY?
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?

SOME CONSIDERATION.

HA.

TRUST, AS BEFITS
BUSINESS PARTNERS,
AND WHAT DO I GET?

ATTEMPTED FLIGHT.

WHO SAYS
I MEANT TO FLY?

OH, COME.
SUDDEN DEPARTURE
FROM HOME WITH WIFE,

PASSAGE TO ANTWERP,

WRAPPED UP IN CLOAKS
LIKE FUGITIVES.

IF YOU DID NOT MEAN
TO RUN AWAY,

WHY DID YOU COME
BACK UPON RECEIPT
OF MY LETTER?

YOU KNOW WHY.

WHY, BECAUSE OF THAT
LITTLE SECRET

I WHISPERED
IN YOUR EAR
THE OTHER DAY?

BECAUSE YOU--

SHUT YOUR MOUTH!

WELL, WELL,

I AM NOT
IN THE LEAST AFFECTED

BY ANY LITTLE
INDISCRETION

YOU MAY HAVE COMMITTED,
YOU KNOW,

AS LONG AS YOU
COOPERATE,

FOR THE GOOD
OF THE COMPANY.

YOU HAVE TAKEN ALL MY MONEY,
AND YOU WANT ME TO BRING IN
PECKSNIFF. IS THAT IT?

PRECISELY.

BETWEEN YOU AND ME,
MY GOOD FELLOW,

WE'RE IN DESPERATE NEED
OF FRESH CAPITAL.

A NUMBER OF POLICIES
HAVE FALLEN IN, MOST
UNLUCKILY, AT ONCE.

ECOD, THERE'D BE
SOME FUN IN CATCHING
THAT OLD HYPOCRITE.

SHALL I GO TONIGHT?

NOW THIS
IS LIKE BUSINESS.

YOU MUST
COME WITH ME NOW.

NO, MY--MY GOOD FELLOW.

I TRUST YOU ALONE.

IF HE CAN'T SEE YOUR OFFICES
OR YOUR DINNER SERVICES,
THEN HE MUST SEE YOU.

BUT SUPPOSING
HE RECOGNIZES ME.

ECOD, YOUR OWN MOTHER
COULDN'T RECOGNIZE YOU
THESE DAYS.

YOU'LL COME?

I WILL.

I SHALL HIRE
A CHARIOT AND PAIR,

AND BAILEY
SHALL ACCOMPANY US.

OH, DON'T BOTHER
WITH THAT MONKEY.

NO, NO. BAILEY
WILL COME WITH US.

I DON'T LIKE
TO GO ANYWHERE
WITHOUT HIM.

[THUNDER]

WHAT'S THAT?

THUNDER.

IT'S NOTHING.
IT'LL PASS.

[THUNDER]

WHAT ON EARTH
ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT
BOTTLE, CHUZZLEWIT?

JUST TAKING A SWIG.

WHY? WHAT ELSE WOULD I
BE DOING WITH IT?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU WERE DREAMING.

DREAMING?
HOW CAN ANYONE SLEEP
ON A JOURNEY LIKE THIS?

THIS IS NO NIGHT
FOR TRAVELING.

HAVE A DRAM.

NO, THANK YOU.

I'M AFRAID BAILEY
WILL BE DRENCHED.

PERHAPS WE'D BETTER
TAKE HIM INSIDE.

NO, THANK YE.

THERE'S NO ROOM
FOR DAMP BOYS IN HERE.

COME, HAVE A DRINK
WITH ME.

LET'S HAVE A SONG.

� IT MAY LIGHTNING
AND STORM �

� TILL IT HUNT
THE RED WORM �

� FROM THE GRASS WHERE
THE GIBBET IS DRIVEN �

JOIN IN, JOIN IN!

WHAT DEVIL HAS GOTTEN
INTO YOU TONIGHT, CHUZZLEWIT?

JUMP, BOY, JUMP!

AAH!

AAH!

[HORSE WHINNIES]

WHOA.

[HORSE WHINNYING]

Jonas:
YA! COME ON!

COME ON! COME ON!

FOR GOD'S SAKE,
LOOK OUT!

IS HE STRUCK?

HE'S LUCKY TO BE ALIVE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

IS ANYONE HURT?

IT DON'T LOOK
LIKE IT.

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE
IF I HADN'T COME UP
WHEN I DID, SIR.

NEVER PULL AT THE BRIDLE
OF A HORSE WHEN THERE'S
A MAN DOWN.

I WAS ONLY TRYING
TO MOVE THE BEAST
OUT OF HIS WAY.

WELL, I WOULDN'T HAVE
GIVEN SIXPENCE FOR
THE GENTLEMAN'S HEAD

IN A FEW SECONDS MORE.

WHERE'S THE BOY?

ECOD, I'D FORGOTTEN
THE MONKEY.

BAILEY!

BAILEY!

BA--

BAILEY.

BAILEY.

HELP!

HELP ME!

OH, GOD.

WE MUST GET HIM
TO A SURGEON.

THIS WAS
AN ILL-FATED JOURNEY.

WILL YOU LOOK
AT THIS BOY?

WHY, WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU?

YOU'RE NOT HIS FATHER,
ARE YOU?

I MAY AS WELL BE.

HE HAS NO OTHER.

[THUNDER]

[COWS MOO]

[DOOR LATCH RATTLING]

SERVICE HERE.

Woman: YES, SIR.

A PINT OF THE BEST
OLD BEER YOU HAVE.

YOU COME FAR, SIR?

FAR ENOUGH.

WILL THERE BE
ANYTHING ELSE, SIR?

YES, THERE WILL.

THERE'LL BE THIS.

AND THIS.

AND THIS.

MARK TAPLEY.

LAST ONE A FAIR ONE,
IT MUST BE DONE OVER AGAIN.

LORD, WHAT A TREAT
IT IS TO SEE YOU.

ONE MORE FOR LUCK?

OH, MARK.

IS IT REALLY YOU?

OH, WELL, IF IT AIN'T
SOME STRANGER HAS TAKEN
A POWERFUL LOOK AT YOU,

AND I'LL HAVE THE PLEASURE
OF KNOCKING HIM DOWN

WHEN I FINALLY
CATCHES UP WITH HIM.

NOW, WHAT WOULD YOU THINK
OF CHANGING YOUR NAME
TO COLD?

COLD?

OH, MR. CHUZZLEWIT.

ARE YOU BACK SAFE
AND SOUND. TOO?

YES. THANK YOU, MRS. LUPIN.
DO I MERIT A KISS?

I'M SORRY, MARK, I
COULDN'T KEEP MY EARS
OUTSIDE ANY LONGER.

I'M IMPATIENT FOR NEWS.

ARE MISS GRAHAM AND
MY GRANDFATHER STILL
AT PECKSNIFF'S?

Mrs. Lupin: THEY ARE.

AH.

BUT MR. PINCH IS GONE.

PINCH GONE?

DISMISSED.

OH, I'M AFRAID, SIR,
I WAS SADLY MISTAKEN
IN MR. PECKSNIFF.

IT WAS A SCANDAL
THE WAY HE TREATED
POOR MR. PINCH.

BUT THERE IT IS.

HE'S A POWER IN THIS
VILLAGE. HE CAN DO
WHAT HE LIKES.

AND EVER SINCE HE WON
THE ARCHITECTURAL
COMPETITION,

THERE'S BEEN
NO HOLDING HIM.

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

PECKSNIFF HAS WON
A COMPETITION?

YES, SIR, FOR
THE NEW HOSPITAL
IN SALISBURY.

WELL, THERE WAS A REPORT
ALL ABOUT IT IN THE PAPERS
A WEEK OR TWO AGO.

WELL, I WONDER IF
I'VE STILL GOT IT.

HERE IT IS.

BUT THAT'S
MY GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

PECKSNIFF HAS
STOLEN MY DESIGN.

ALL HE'S DONE
IS ADD A FEW WINDOWS

AND THE PRETENTIOUS
PORTICOS

SO THAT HE CAN
CLAIM IT AS HIS OWN.

COLDINGHAM, IS THERE
NO LIMIT TO THIS MAN'S
KNAVERY?

WHAT WAS THAT YOU SAID
ABOUT HIS TREATMENT
OF MR. PINCH?

YES, WELL,
IT ALL CAME ABOUT

BECAUSE MR. PECKSNIFF
WAS PESTERING MISS GRAHAM.

WHAT?!

YES, PAYING HER
ATTENTIONS--

I'LL HORSEWHIP THE VILLAIN.
I'LL DO IT NOW.

EASY. YOU'RE JUST PLAYING
INTO HIS HANDS THAT WAY.

LET ME GO.

PECKSNIFF WOULD LIKE
NOTHING MORE

THAN TO HAVE YOU
LOCKED UP.

WHAT SHALL I DO?

GO TO THE HOUSE.
TRY AND RECONCILE
WITH YOUR GRANDFATHER.

BUT DON'T GET INTO
A FIGHT WITH PECKSNIFF.

Pecksniff: NO, YOUNG MAN,
NONE OF THAT. NO, SIR!

Martin: LET ME PASS.

I WILL NOT!

GRANDFATHER.

STRIKE ME, SIR.
LAUNCH YOUR ARROWS
AT ME, NOT AT HIM.

GRANDFATHER,
PLEASE LISTEN TO ME.

ASSAIL ME. COME ON, SIR.
DO YOUR WORST.

PECKSNIFF,
CALM YOURSELF.

LET ME SEE
WHAT I USED TO LOVE.

YES, YES. IT IS RIGHT
THAT YOU SHOULD SEE IT,
MY NOBLE SIR,

IN IT'S TRUE
PROPORTIONS.
BEHOLD IT.

THERE IT IS, SIR.
THERE IT IS.

SAY WHAT YOU WISH TO SAY,
BUT COME NO NEARER.

MARY, COME HERE.

OH, HIS SENSE OF JUSTICE
IS SO FINE THAT HE WILL
HEAR EVEN HIM,

THOUGH HE KNOWS BEFOREHAND
NOTHING CAN COME OF IT.

GRANDFATHER, I HAVE
RETURNED FROM A LONG
AND PERILOUS JOURNEY,

FROM THE GRAVE,
I MIGHT SAY,

A SADDER AND WISER MAN.

ON THE SUBJECT THAT
OCCASIONED OUR QUARREL,

I HAVE NOT--CANNOT
CHANGE MY MIND

OR MY HEART.

IT WOULD BE DISHONEST
TO PRETEND OTHERWISE,

BUT FOR MY ANGER
AND ARROGANCE,
I AM SINCERELY SORRY.

DO NOT BE TAKEN IN
BY THIS, SIR.

I KNOW IT MUST SEEM
THAT I AM ONLY MOTIVATED
BY SELF-INTEREST,

BUT THAT IS NOT SO.

TRY ME. HELP ME
TO GET HONEST WORK,
AND I WILL DO IT.

LET ME BACK
INTO YOUR SOCIETY,

AND LET US REBUILD
OUR OLD RELATIONSHIP,
BUT DON'T REJECT ME.

Pecksniff: SHALL I
GIVE EXPRESSION TO YOUR
THOUGHTS, MR. CHUZZLEWIT?

YES.

YES, PECKSNIFF,
SPEAK FOR ME. THANK YOU.

DO NOT SUPPOSE FOR A MOMENT
THAT ANYONE HERE IS DECEIVED
BY YOUR PROTESTATIONS.

THE LEOPARD DOES NOT
CHANGE HIS SPOTS.

ON THE LAST OCCASION,
WHEN I ORDERED YOU
FROM MY HOUSE,

STUNG BEYOND ENDURANCE
BY YOUR UNNATURAL CONDUCT

TOWARDS THIS
NOBLE-MINDED INDIVIDUAL,
I BADE YOU NEVER TO RETURN.

NOW THAT IT HAS BECOME
HIS SANCTUARY,

I SAY TO YOU AGAIN WITH
EVEN GREATER VEHEMENCE,

BEGONE, AT ONCE,
AND FOREVER.

WILL YOU GIVE ME
NO ANSWER?

YOU HEARD
WHAT HAS BEEN SAID.

I HAVE NOT HEARD
YOUR OWN VOICE.

YOU HAVE HEARD HIM.

GO AWAY.

IT'S ALL OVER.

WHOA.

JONAS, THERE IS NOTHING
WRONG, I HOPE.

MY CHILD, MY MERRY,
SHE IS WELL?

SHE'S WELL ENOUGH.

AH, GOOD.

COME IN, JONAS,
COME IN.

WILL YOU STAY TONIGHT?

NO, NO, NO. I'M
STAYING IN SALISBURY
WITH A FRIEND.

WE HAD A BIT
OF AN ACCIDENT
ON THE ROAD LAST NIGHT.

BRING YOUR FRIEND
WITH YOU?

NO. HE'S A LITTLE TOO
NEAR THE TOP OF THE TREE
FOR THAT, PECKSNIFF.

OH, SOME YOUNG NOBLEMAN
WHO'S BEEN BORROWING
MONEY OFF YOU, EH?

WHAT?

MR. MONTAGUE, BORROW?

THAT'S A GOOD ONE.

WHY, WE'D BE LUCKY
IF THE PAIR OF US

COULD BUY JUST HIS
PLATE AND FURNITURE
BY CLUBBING TOGETHER.

INDEED.

I DON'T MIND TELLING YOU
I'VE MADE A PRETTY PENNY

SINCE I'VE BEEN
IN WITH HIM.

ECOD, PECKSNIFF.

IF I KNEW HOW YOU MEANT
TO LEAVE YOUR MONEY,

I COULD PUT YOU IN
THE WAY OF MULTIPLYING
IT IN NO TIME.

WELL, UH, JONAS, BY FAR
THE GREATER PART

OF THE INCONSIDERABLE SAVINGS
I HAVE ACCUMULATED

DURING THE COURSE OF
A NOT--I HOPE NOT--
DISHONORABLE CAREER

IS BEQUEATHED
TO A FAVORITE CHILD,

WHO I CANNOT, WILL NOT,
NEED NOT NAME...

WHO IS THIS INTERESTING
FRIEND OF YOURS?

DINE WITH US
TONIGHT IN SALISBURY,
AND YOU'LL FIND OUT.

Pecksniff: VERY GOOD
HEALTH, MY DEAR SIR.

YOU KNOW, IT IS VERY STRANGE,
BUT I SEEM TO KNOW YOU.

THAT TOWERING FOREHEAD,
MY DEAR JONAS,

AND THE CLUSTERING MASSES
OF RICH HAIR.

I MAY HAVE SEEN YOU
IN SOME SPARKLING THRONG

ON ONE OF MY RARE VISITS
TO THE METROPOLIS.

VERY LIKELY.
COULD YOU MOVE
THE CANDLE, CHUZZLEWIT?

IT DAZZLES ME.

I WISH I HAD HAD THE HONOR
OF INTRODUCING YOU TO AN
ELDERLY INMATE OF MY HOME

AND A RELATIVE OF OURS,
MR. MARTIN CHUZZLEWIT.

YOU SAID NOTHING
OF THAT, CHUZZLEWIT.

YOU WOULDN'T
WANT TO KNOW HIM,
I ASSURE YOU.

OH, COME, COME,
JONAS.

IT'S ALL RIGHT
FOR YOU, PECKSNIFF.

YOU'LL GET
A FORTUNE BY HIM.

OH, IS THE WIND
IN THAT QUARTER?

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

YOU--YOU MUSTN'T BELIEVE
EVERYTHING MY YOUNG RELATIVE
SAYS, MR. MONTAGUE.

ON MY LIFE,
MR. PECKSNIFF,
I HOPE HE SPEAKS TRUE.

MONEY CAN'T BE TURNED
AND TURNED AGAIN
QUICKLY ENOUGH

IN THE ORDINARY
COURSE OF EVENTS.

THERE'S NOTHING LIKE
BUILDING A FORTUNE

ON THE WEAKNESSES
OF MANKIND.

OH, FIE, MR. MONTAGUE.
FOR SHAME.

WE DO IT,
ALL THE TIME.

DON'T WE,
CHUZZLEWIT?

WE DO VERY WELL
OUT OF IT, TOO.

OH, FIE.

I--I'M SURE YOU DON'T...

BUT, UM, TO BE SERIOUS
WITH YOU,

IT IS A GREAT COMFORT
TO ME TO KNOW

THAT MY SON-IN-LAW
IS ASSOCIATED
WITH AN ENTERPRISE,

MR. MONTAGUE, WHICH, UM,

AS MUCH AS I UNDERSTAND
ITS OPERATIONS,

IS CALCULATED
TO DO GOOD.

INDEED,

AND AM I CORRECT
IN THINKING

THAT YOU WOULD LIKE
TO BE A PART OF IT?

YOU ARE, SIR.

WELL, I'M BOUND TO SAY
THAT THERE NEVER WAS
A BETTER MOMENT

TO INVEST
A CONSIDERABLE SUM,

AND PROBABLY
NEVER WILL BE AGAIN.

I COULD ALLOW YOU IN
FOR 10,000.

10,000?

WELL, T-T-THAT'S
VERY NEARLY, UM...

PERHAPS 5.

5?

WELL, 5 IS A GOOD
ROUND FIGURE.

5,000 SHOULD YIELD YOU
50 IN A YEAR OR 2.

OH, REALLY?

THEN 10,000
WOULD YIELD...

100,000.

THE BUSINESS IS SAFE?

AS SAFE AS LLOYD'S.

PUT ME DOWN FOR 10.

GOOD MAN.

I SHALL NEED YOUR NOTE
IN HAND TONIGHT,

AND WE CAN SETTLE
THE FORMALITIES
TOMORROW.

THE--THE--THE DAY
AFTER TOMORROW WOULD BE
MORE CONVENIENT.

UH. MY GUESTS
ARE LEAVING TOMORROW.

A TEMPORARY ABSENCE,
I BELIEVE. MR. CHUZZLEWIT
HAS BUSINESS IN LONDON.

WOULD YOU DO ME
THE HONOR OF DINING WITH ME
THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW?

YOU--YOU COULD STAY
OVERNIGHT IF YOU LIKED.

I'LL DINE WITH YOU
WITH PLEASURE, BUT I
MUST RETURN HERE.

I HAVE
A RETAINER, SICK
IN THE INFIRMARY.

BAILEY IS STILL
UNCONSCIOUS.

THE SURGEON
IS NOT HOPEFUL.

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU BOTHER
WITH THAT MONKEY.

THERE'S PLENTY MORE
WHERE HE CAME FROM.

I'VE GROWN
STRANGELY ATTACHED
TO THAT BOY.

I'D RATHER
LOSE �1,000.

�10,000.

YOUR HUMANE COMPASSION
DOES YOU CREDIT, SIR.

OH.

WELL, THE--TO THE DAY
AFTER TOMORROW, THEN.

WILL YOU JOIN US, JONAS?

NO. I SHALL RETURN TO LONDON
BY THE EARLY MORNING COACH.

OH.

YES. I HAVE
SOMETHING TO DO.

[CONVERSATION INAUDIBLE]

Tom: RUTH, MY DEAR,
THERE IS MISS PECKSNIFF

AND THE YOUNG GENTLEMAN
TO WHOM SHE IS ABOUT
TO BE MARRIED.

Ruth: WHY DOES HE LOOK
AS THOUGH HE'S GOING
TO BE BURIED?

HE IS OF A NATURALLY
MELANCHOLY TEMPERAMENT,
I BELIEVE.

GOOD AFTERNOON,
MISS PECKSNIFF.

OH, GOOD GRACIOUS!
MR. PINCH.

OH, HOW VERY, UH...

YOU REMEMBER MY SISTER?

MR. MODDLE,
THIS IS MY SISTER RUTH.

REALLY, THERE NEVER WAS
SUCH A--OF ALL THE PLACES...

I'VE NEVER BEEN SO ASHAMED
IN ALL MY LIFE, MISS PINCH.
I--

I'M SURE THERE'S
NO NEED TO BE.

WE WERE ON OUR WAY
TO MRS. TODGERS, HOPING
TO SEE MERCY THERE.

THEN YOU MUST COME
WITH US INSTEAD,

FOR WE ARE GOING
TO MERCY'S HOUSE FOR TEA!

OH, YOU NEEDN'T
WORRY ABOUT JONAS.

HE'S IN THE COUNTRY.

AUGUSTUS, MY SWEET,
LEAD THE WAY.

UPON MY WORD,
TOO EMBARRASSING.

I WONDER
IN THESE CROWDED STREETS

THAT FOOT PASSENGERS
ARE NOT RUN OVER
MORE OFTEN.

THE DRIVERS WON'T DO IT!

I BEG YOUR PARDON?

THERE ARE SOME MEN
WHO CAN'T GET RUN OVER.

THEY LIVE A CHARMED LIFE.

COAL WAGONS
RECOIL FROM THEM.

AND EVEN CABS REFUSE
TO RUN THEM DOWN.

BLESS MY SOUL.

NOW, AIN'T WE RICH
IN BEAUTY HERE

THIS JOYFUL AFTERNOON,
I'M SURE.

AND I KNOWS A LADY,

WHAT HER NAME IS HARRIS,

WHO WOULD BE THE LAST
TO BLAME ME FOR SAYING SO.

MANY A TIME AND OFTEN
I HAVE SAID TO HER,

"OH, MA'AM, YOUR COUNTENANCE
IS QUITE AN ANGEL'S."

WHICH, BUT FOR PIMPLES,
IT WOULD BE.

BUT IF EVER A WOMAN LIVED
AS COULD ADMIRE THEM,

BETTER LOOKIN' THAN HERSELF,

MRS. HARRIS IS
THAT HEAVENLY DISPOSITION.

HEH HEH HEH.

ROUSE YOURSELF, MR. CHUFFEY!

LOOK UP! HERE'S COMPANY.

I--I KNOW
I'M IN THE WAY,
AND I'M SORRY FOR IT.

WHERE IS SHE?

HERE I AM!

AHH. HERE SHE IS.

NEVER MIND HIM.

IT'S HARD TO BEAR,

BUT HE'LL DIE ONE DAY.

THERE ARE 365 DAYS
IN A YEAR,

AND ONE MORE
IN LEAP YEAR--

HUSH.

YOU'RE A WEARING
OLD CREATURE,

THAT'S THE SACRED TRUTH.

IT'S A PITY YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU SAY.

YOU'D WEAR YOUR OWN PATIENCE
OUT IF YOU DID

AND FRET YOURSELF
INTO A HAPPY RELEASE

FOR ALL AS KNOWS YOU.

WOULD YOU MAKE TEA
FOR US, MRS. GAMP?

OH...OH, WHAT HAPPINESS
TO BE ASKED.

MY GOOD YOUNG WOMAN,

PERHAPS SOMEBODY
MIGHT LIKE A NEW-LAID
EGG OR 2,

NOT BOILED TOO HARD.

AND LIKEWISE...

A FEW ROUNDS
OF BUTTERED TOAST,

FIRST CUTTING OFF
THE CRUSTS

IN CONSEQUENCE
OF TENDER TEETH,

AND NOT TOO MANY
OF THEM,

WHICH GAMP HISSELF,
MRS. CHUZZLEWIT,

AT ONE BLOW
STRUCK OUT 4,

BEIN' IN LIQUOR,
2 SINGLE AND 2 DOUBLE,

AS WAS TAKEN BY MRS. HARRIS
FOR A KEEPSAKE

AND IS CARRIED IN HER POCKET
TO THIS PRESENT HOUR.

WHO'S LYING DEAD UPSTAIRS?!

Mercy: NO ONE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

THERE'S SOMEONE DEAD...
OR DYING.

WHERE'S JONAS?

IN THE COUNTRY.

BE QUIET NOW
AND HAVE SOME TEA.

I'M GOING TO SEE.

HIS OWN SON!

[CHARITY SIGHS]

AH, MR. PINCH.

IF MY SISTER HAD NOT BEEN
SO PRECIPITATE

AND UNITED HERSELF
TO A WRETCH,

SHE WOULD NOT NOW BE BURDENED
WITH THAT PATHETIC CREATURE.

SHH. SHE MAY HEAR YOU.

OH, I HOPE NOT.

IT IS FAR FROM MY NATURE
TO ADD TO HER TROUBLES

BY GLOATING OVER THEM.

OH, WHEN I THINK
OF THE BLESSINGS
I NOW ENJOY

AND THOSE...
IN STORE FOR ME,

I CAN ONLY FEEL
HUMBLE AND CONTENTED.

JONAS!

I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU'D GOT A PARTY.

OH, DEAR.

DON'T LET US INTRUDE
ON YOUR DOMESTIC HAPPINESS.

AUGUSTUS, MY LOVE,
WE WILL GO.

WE HAVE TAKEN TEA
HERE, SIR,
IN YOUR ABSENCE,

BUT IF YOU WILL BE
GOOD ENOUGH TO SEND US

A NOTE OF THE EXPENSE,
RECEIPTED, WE WILL BE
HAPPY TO PAY IT.

MERCY, MY DEAR,
I'M MUCH OBLIGED TO YOU
FOR YOUR ADVICE, PLEASE!

BUT I AM NOT HIS SLAVE.

HAH. NOT FOR WANT
OF TRYING.

WE KNOW ALL ABOUT THAT.

AUGUSTUS, I FORBID YOU
TO RETALIATE!

LET US GO
BEFORE THE PROVOCATION
IS TOO MUCH

FOR YOUR MANLY PRIDE.

Jonas: AND GOOD RIDDANCE!

WHAT?! YOU HERE, TOO?

BY GOD, I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU
MEDDLING IN MY AFFAIRS!

Mercy: JONAS!

GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!

I ONLY CAME HERE TO SAY

THAT I WAS NO PARTY
TO THE CONTENTS
OF THAT LETTER.

BY GOD, I'LL KNOCK
YOUR BRAINS OUT IF
YOU SAY ANOTHER WORD!

FOR THE LOVE OF HEAVEN,
LEAVE US!

TOM, LET US GO!

Mrs. Gamp: YES!
COME ON, MA'AM! OH!

SO...THESE ARE
YOUR FRIENDS, ARE THEY,
WHILE I'M AWAY?

YOU PLOT AND TAMPER
WITH THIS SORT
OF PEOPLE, DO YOU?

I'VE ONLY SEEN TOM PINCH
ONCE SINCE I LEFT HOME
BEFORE TODAY!

WELL,
YOU EVER MEET HIM AGAIN,
AND YOU WILL REPENT IT.

NOW LISTEN TO ME.

I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING
DAY AND NIGHT...

AND I'M TIRED OUT.

PUT MY SUPPER
IN THE SPARE ROOM BELOW

AND HAVE THE TRUCKLE-BED
MADE UP THERE.

I AM GOING TO TAKE
A SLEEPING DRAFT

AND TRY AND SLEEP
ALL THROUGH TOMORROW,
IF I CAN.

YOU KEEP
THE HOUSE QUIET.

DON'T CALL ME--DON'T LET
ANYBODY CALL ME.

UNDERSTAND?

YES, JONAS.

IS THAT ALL?

ALL WHAT? MUST
YOU ALWAYS BE PRYING
AND QUESTIONING ME?!

WHAT MORE DO YOU
WANT TO KNOW?!

NOTHING...EXCEPT WHAT
YOU WISH TO TELL ME.

YOU HAVE BROKEN
MY SPIRIT, JONAS.

DON'T BREAK MY HEART,
AS WELL.

SEE TO THE BED BELOW.

EGOD, IS THE WHOLE WORLD
CAMPED IN MY HOUSE?

WHAT BRINGS YOU
BACK HERE?

WHY, JUST INQUIRING AFTER
MRS. CHUZZLEWIT'S HEALTH,
SIR.

AND MR. CHUFFEY'S.

CHUFFEY...

WHERE IS HE?

HE'S UPSTAIRS, SIR.

HE CRIED OUT
IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE TEA PARTY,

"WHO'S DEAD UPSTAIRS?!"

WHO'S DEAD UPSTAIRS?
HE SAID THAT?

YES, SIR.

SOMEBODY'S DEAD OR DYING,
HE SAYS.

AND NOTHING COULD STOP HIM
GOING TO SEE FOR HISSELF.

WHY,
THE OLD FOOL IS MAD.

THAT'S MY OPINION, SIR,
AND I WILL NOT DECEIVE YOU.

I BELIEVE AS MR. CHUFFEY
REQUIRES ATTENTION,
CONTINUOUS,

IF I MAY MAKE SO BOLD.

COULD YOU LOOK AFTER
SUCH AN IDIOT NOW

IN SOME SPARE ROOM
UPSTAIRS?

OH, ME AND MY FRIEND
COULD DO IT, SIR,

ONE ON, ONE OFF.

BETSY PRIG HAS NURSED
MANY LUNACIES,

AND WELL SHE KNOWS
THEIR WAYS,

WHICH PUTTIN' 'EM
RIGHT CLOSE AFORE A FIRE
WHEN FRACTIOUS

IS THE CERTAINEST...

AND MOST COMPOSING.

BRING YOUR FRIEND
TO SEE ME--LET ME SEE...

THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW
SO WE CAN MAKE
A BARGAIN.

BRING HER
IN THE EVENING.

OH, YES. Y-YES, SIR.

[THUNDER]

[DOG BARKING]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

WHO CAN THAT BE
THIS EARLY?

JOHN, I SUPPOSE.

I DON'T THINK IT'S
HIS KNOCK, TOM.

HOW CAN YOU TELL?

YOU GOOSE.

IT'S NOT MY
MYSTERIOUS EMPLOYER,
I'LL BE BOUND.

THAT WOULD BE
TOO MUCH TO HOPE FOR.

GOOD GRACIOUS HEAVEN.

Young Martin: TOM?

COME IN.

COME IN.

MY DEAR MARTIN!

HOW GOOD IT IS TO SEE YOU!

AND YOU, MY FRIEND.

MARTIN, THIS IS
MY SISTER RUTH.

IT'S MR. CHUZZLEWIT,
MY LOVE!

HOW DO YOU DO?

AND MARK TAPLEY
FROM THE BLUE DRAGON.

HOW ARE YOU, MARK?

UNCOMMON JOLLY,
THANK YOU, SIR.

UPON MY WORD,
THIS IS WONDERFUL!

SIT DOWN! SIT DOWN!
BOTH OF YOU!

HAVE SOME BREAKFAST.

WHEN DID YOU GET BACK
FROM AMERICA?

A WEEK AGO.

TOM...I HAVE HEARD
ALL YOU HAVE DONE

AND SUFFERED
ON MY ACCOUNT.

HOW CAN I EVER THANK YOU?

THERE'S NO NEED.

I'M THE GAINER
BY LEAVING PECKSNIFF.

I HAVE A SITUATION,
MARTIN, AT A SALARY
OF �100 A YEAR.

IMAGINE?

I AM DELIGHTED
TO HEAR IT.

MARY TOLD ME.
I HAVE SEEN HER,
ALL TOO BRIEFLY.

BUT SHE TOLD ME
HOW INFAMOUSLY
PECKSNIFF TREATED YOU

AND HOW NOBLY
YOU BEHAVED.

DID SHE...DID SHE?

THAT WAS KIND.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
IN THE KITCHEN, MARK?

I'M MAKING THE EXTRA
BREAKFAST, SIR.

OH, I WILL SEE TO THAT,
MR. TAPLEY.

LEAVE HIM, MISS PINCH.
HE'S INCORRIGIBLE. DOWN.

THE BEST OF MARK TAPLEY
IS KNOWN ONLY TO ONE MAN,

WHO BUT FOR HIM WOULD NOT
BE ALIVE TO TELL IT.

MARK, SIT DOWN AT ONCE,
OR I'LL SWEAR AT YOU.

THERE'S NO CREDIT
IN BEING JOLLY WITH YOU,
MR. PINCH.

THERE'S NOTHING SHORT OF
GOING TO THE UNITED STATES
FOR A SECOND TRIP

AS WOULD MAKE IT AT ALL
CREDITABLE TO BE JOLLY
AFTER SEEING YOU AGAIN, SIR.

YOUR VENTURE WAS NOT
SUCCESSFUL, THEN.

IT WAS A TOTAL CATASTROPHE.

I DON'T HAVE ANY PLANS,
EXCEPT TO TRY TO EARN
MY LIVING.T ARE YOUR PLANS?

AND, TOM...

WITH MY FIRST WAGE
TO REPAY THE HALF SOVEREIGN
YOU GAVE ME

WHEN I LEFT PECKSNIFF'S.

I DON'T NEED IT, MARTIN.
�100 A YEAR.

NEVERTHELESS,
YOU SHALL HAVE IT BACK.

AND IF YOU HAVE
ANY ADVICE TO GIVE ME
ABOUT GETTING A SITUATION,

I WOULD BE MOST GRATEFUL.

ADVICE? GOODNESS ME,
I DON'T--WAIT! I KNOW.

TOM, MY DEAR FELLOW.

AND MR. CHUZZLEWIT.

WE CAME TO ASK YOUR ADVICE,
BUT I SEE YOU HAVE A VISITOR.

YES.

YOU COME VERY
OPPORTUNELY.

I NEED SOME
ADVICE MYSELF,

AND THE MATTER CONCERNS
RELATIVES OF YOURS,
MR. CHUZZLEWIT.

OF MINE?

LEWSOME AND I WERE
SCHOOLFELLOWS TOGETHER.

HE'S BEEN
VERY ILL RECENTLY,

AND I'VE KEPT HIM
HERE WITH ME
THESE LAST FEW DAYS.

LEWSOME, TELL THESE
GENTLEMEN YOUR STORY

AS IF YOU WERE
IN A COURT OF LAW.

IT MAY WELL
COME TO THAT.

I AM AN APOTHECARY...

ASSISTANT TO A SURGEON
IN THE CITY.

I NEVER PROSPERED.

I WASTED MY TIME
AND MY MONEY IN TAVERNS.

ONE OF MY DRINKING COMPANIONS
WAS JONAS CHUZZLEWIT.

HE...GAINED A HOLD ON ME
THROUGH SOME GAMBLING DEBTS.

HE ASKED ME ONE DAY...

IF I COULD SUPPLY HIM
WITH SOME DRUGS.

I ASKED HIM
WHAT KIND OF DRUGS.

HE SAID...

HE SAID...HIS FATHER
WAS SUFFERING

FROM A PAINFUL
AND FATAL ILLNESS

AND THAT
IT WOULD BE A KINDNESS

TO MIX SOMETHING
WITH HIS COUGH SYRUP
THAT WOULD EASE HIS DEATH.

YOU SAID "SPEED
HIS DEATH" BEFORE.

GOD FORGIVE ME.

I PROCURED HIM THE DRUGS.

THE POISON, I SHOULD SAY.

WELL DONE, LEWSOME.

WE'LL LEAVE YOU ALONE
TO RECOVER YOURSELF.

I NEVER HEARD
THAT MY GREAT-UNCLE
WAS SUFFERING

FROM ANY PAINFUL,
FATAL ILLNESS.

NOR I. IT WAS SAID
HE DIED OF A STROKE.

QUITE SO.

HIS OWN FATHER.

IS IT POSSIBLE?

HIS OWN SON.

John: WHAT?

I JUST REMEMBERED
SOMETHING OLD MR. CHUFFEY
SAID YESTERDAY.

IF SOMEONE ELSE
HAS THIS INFORMATION,

THAT WOULD ACCOUNT
FOR JONAS' CONDUCT
ON THE STEAMBOAT THAT DAY.

THE SAME THOUGHT HAD
OCCURRED TO ME, TOM,

BUT I AM AT A LOSS
TO KNOW HOW TO PROCEED.

YOUR GRANDFATHER
MUST BE INFORMED.

HE'S THE DEAD MAN'S BROTHER.
HE SHOULD DECIDE WHAT TO DO.

WILL YOU LAY THIS MATTER
BEFORE HIM?

NO, I CAN'T.

HE IS STILL
UNDER THE SPELL

OF THAT VILLAIN
PECKSNIFF.

EVEN IF I COULD
MANAGE TO SEE HIM,

I SHOULD BE SUSPECTED
OF TRYING TO WORM MY WAY
BACK INTO HIS FAVOR

BY BLACKENING
THE CHARACTER OF JONAS.

I COULD WRITE TO HIM.

HE MIGHT BELIEVE ME.

DO.

MARK,
WOULD YOU BE PREPARED

TO TAKE A LETTER
DOWN TO THE COUNTRY
FOR US IMMEDIATELY?

LEAVE IT WITH ME,
SIR.

COME WITH ME
TO THE TEMPLE, MARK.
I'LL WRITE IT THERE.

I'M LATE FOR WORK
AS IT IS.

STRANGE...

OH, IT'S NOT LOCK--

I THINK THERE MAY BE
AN INTRUDER.

GOOD MORNING, MR. PINCH.

WHAT KIND OF TIMEKEEPING
DO YOU CALL THIS?

MR. CHUZZLEWIT!

ARE YOU--ARE YOU
MY EMPLOYER?

I INTENDED TO BE
WITH YOU SOONER,

BUT YOU'VE OCCUPIED
THE TIME WELL.

IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE
I'VE LIVED IN THIS PLACE.

I NEVER KNEW IT LOOKED
SO INVITING.

WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT,
MR. PINCH?

YOU, SIR.

YOU LOOK SO DIFFERENT.

I HOPE I DO.

I WAS NOT WHAT I SEEMED...
IN THE COUNTRY.

AH. WHO IS THIS?

MARK TAPLEY, SIR, FORMERLY
OF THE BLUE DRAGON.

I HAVE A FAVORABLE
RECOLLECTION OF YOU,
MR. TAPLEY.

YOU CAN BE OF SERVICE
TO ME, PERHAPS.

MR. PINCH, I SHALL
WANT YOUR ASSISTANCE

IN SUMMONING
A FAMILY CONCLAVE.

GLADLY, SIR, BUT--

DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW
WHERE MY GRANDSON IS?

WELL, I--

I DO, SIR.

YOU DO?

EXCELLENT. HE WILL BE
THE FIRST TO BE INVITED.

BUT ON NO ACCOUNT
TELL HIM THE REASON.

WELL, THAT WON'T BE DIFFICULT,
FOR I DON'T KNOW IT MYSELF.

QUITE.

LET'S GET TO WORK, THEN.

SIR, I'M SORRY
TO DELAY YOUR PURPOSE,

BUT I HAVE SOME
VERY SERIOUS AND URGENT
INTELLIGENCE

TO CONVEY TO YOU.

BETSY...

I WILL PROPOSE A TOAST.

TO MY FREQUENT PARTNER,
BETSY PRIG!

WHICH, ALTERING THE NAME
TO SAIRAH GAMP...

I DRINK.

[COUGHS]

[COUGHING]

NOW...

WHERE IS THIS CASE
IN WHICH YOU WANT ME?

IT AIN'T MRS. HARRIS,
IS IT?

NO, BETSY PRIG,
IT AIN'T.

WELL, I'M GLAD OF THAT!
[LAUGHING]

I DON'T KNOW WHY
YOU'RE GLAD, BETSY.

I'VE KNOWN
THAT SWEETEST OF WOMEN

EVER SINCE
AFORE HER FIRST,

WHICH MR. HARRIS,
WHO WAS DREADFUL TIMID,

WENT AND STOPPED
HIS EARS IN AN EMPTY
DOG KENNEL

AND NEVER CAME OUT
TILL HE WAS SHOWED
THE BABY.

BUT I NEVER KNOWED
AS YOU HAD OCCASION
TO BE GLAD, BETSY,

ON ACCOUNT
OF MRS. HARRIS
NOT REQUIRING YOU.

REQUIRING YOU
SHE NEVER WILL,
NEITHER,

BECAUSE HER CONSTANT
WORDS IN SICKNESS IS,
"SEND FOR SAIREY."

WELL, IF IT AIN'T HER,
WHO IS IT, THEN?

IT'S MR. CHUFFEY.

THAT OLD LOONY
YOU TOLD ME OF?

MR. CHUFFEY'S FRIENDS
IS PROPOSING

THAT HE IS
TAKEN CARE OF,
DAY AND NIGHT,

AND THEY ASKED ME,
WOULD I UNDERTAKE IT
BY MY OWN SELF?

"NO," I SAYS,

"BUT I AM ACQUAINTED
WITH A FRIEND.

"HER NAME IS
BETSY PRIG [LAUGHS]

AND SHE IS ALWAYS
TO BE TRUSTED UNDER ME."

AH! EH, BETSY...

DRINK FAIR, NOW.

MRS. HARRIS
ONCE SAID TO ME--

BOTHER MRS. HARRIS!

I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S
NO SUCH PERSON!

WHAT?

HAVE--HAVE
I KNOWED MRS. HARRIS
FOR 5 AND 30 YEARS

TO BE TOLD AT LAST
THAT THERE'S
NO SUCH PERSON?

HAVE I STOOD HER FRIEND
IN ALL HER TROUBLES,
GREAT AND SMALL,

TO COME AT LAST
TO SUCH AN END AS THIS?

GO ALONG WITH YOU!

I WAS ALREADY A-GOIN'!

YOU WAS OFFERIN' TO TAKE ME
"UNDER YOU," WAS YOU?

HOW VERY KIND!

WELL, DEUCE TAKE
YOUR IMPERTINENCE!

I WILL NOT DEBASE MYSELF
BY BARGAINING WORDS
WITH YOU! BE OFF!

YOU CAN KEEP
YOUR MAD CHUFFEYS
TO YOURSELF!

I WON'T HAVE NOTHING
TO DO WITH HIM!

YOU NEVER SAID A TRUER WORD!
GO ALONG WITH YOU!

[SOBBING]

[COUGHING]

[SOBBING]

WELL, MY DEAR SIR.

GOOD NIGHT, PECKSNIFF.

THANKS FOR DINNER.

YOU MUST ALLOW ME
TO RETURN THE HOSPITALITY
IN PALL MALL.

I LOOK FORWARD TO IT.

WHEN YOU COME TO TOWN
TO COUNT YOUR PROFITS.

AH HA HA HA HA HA!

WELL, GOOD NIGHT.

DRIVE CAREFULLY.

COME ON, MOVE.

[HUMMING AND CHUCKLING
TO HIMSELF]

HERE YOU ARE,
MR. CHUFFEY.

Mercy: JONAS. YOU'RE
AWAKE AT LAST.

WHAT TIME IS IT?

9:00 IN THE MORNING.

YOU'VE SLEPT FOR
A DAY AND 2 NIGHTS,

YET YOU DON'T
LOOK RESTED.

I'M FINE.

DID NO ONE KNOCK
ON MY DOOR THEN
YESTERDAY?

NO. YOU SAID YOU WERE
NOT BE BE DISTURBED.

QUITE RIGHT.

[KNOCKS ON TABLE]

BUTTER.

OH,
A MR. NADGETT CALLED.

NADGETT?

WHAT THE DEVIL
DOES HE WANT?

SOME TROUBLE
AT THE OFFICE,
HE SAID.

I TOLD HIM YOU'D
GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS
NOT TO BE DISTURBED,

SO HE WENT AWAY.

WELL, I MUST CALL
AT THE OFFICE.

I HAVE TO GO OUT ANYWAY.

THERE'S NOBODY HERE!
WILL YOU PLEASE GO HOME?!

[CROWD YELLING]

WHAT'S GOING ON?

HAVEN'T YA HEARD?
THE COMPANY'S SMASHED.

WHAT?!

IT'S A COMPLETE SWINDLE.

DID YOU HAVE
A POLICY WITH THEM?

MORE THAN A POLICY.
MY GOD!

YOU CAN SAY
GOOD-BYE TO IT.

CRIMPLE THE SECRETARY
RUN OFF WITH THE MONEY
THAT WAS LEFT.

WHAT'S MORE,
MONTAGUE HIMSELF
CRIMPLE?IS REPORTED MURDERED.

ALREADY?

I MEAN, COULDN'T CRIMPLE
DISGUISE HIS CRIME
BETTER THAN THAT?

IT'S OBVIOUS CRIMPLE
KILLED MONTAGUE.

YOU MAY BE RIGHT.

[GATES CLANGING]

[GLASS SHATTERING]

Jonas: NEL!

[FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS]

WHERE'S MY WIFE?

GONE TO MRS. TODGERS,
SIR.

SHE IS ALWAYS STEALING OFF
TO THAT WOMAN.

GO AND TELL HER
TO COME HOME.

TELL HER
I WANT HER HERE NOW.

YES, SIR.

WHAT HAVE YOU
DONE WITH HER?

NOTHING, YOU OLD FOOL!

IF YOU HURT
A HAIR OF HER HEAD,

YOU SHALL ANSWER FOR IT!

I'LL NOT KEEP SILENT
AGAIN!

WHY? WHAT BEDLAM FIT
IS UPON YOU NOW?

I'M STRONG ENOUGH
TO CALL OUT
FOR THE NEIGHBORS.

GIVE HER UP!

GIVE HER UP TO ME,
OR I'LL CALL OUT!

CALL OUT, WILL YOU?

THEN YOU MUST BE LOCKED UP
WHERE NOBODY WILL HEAR YOU!

[CREAKING]

WHO'S THAT?

OH, GOOD EVENING, SIR!

OH, IT'S YOU, MRS. GAMP.

YOUR MAID LET ME IN
ON HER WAY OUT.

OH, IT'S A PLEASANT EVENING,
THOUGH WARM,

WHICH WE MUST EXPECT
WHEN COWCUMBERS
IS 3 FOR TUPPENCE.

HA HA.

NOW...MR. CHUFFEY...

HOW DO YOU FIND YOURSELF
THIS EVENING?

IS SHE COME HOME?

OH, SHE'LL BE HOME
DIRECTLY.

OH, HE'S ALL
OF A-TREMBLE,
POOR OLD THING.

WELL, HE MAY BE,
AFTER ALL THE MAD THINGS
HE'S BEEN SAYING.

OH, DEAR.

TSK, TSK, TSK.
MR. CHUFFEY.

HE'S NOT FIT TO BE LEFT
ON HIS OWN ANY LONGER.

LET'S GET
THIS BUSINESS DONE.

I'VE FORGOTTEN
THE OTHER WOMAN'S NAME.

I MENTIONED
BETSY PRIG, SIR.

SHE'S TO BE TRUSTED, IS SHE?

NO, SIR,
THAT SHE AIN'T,

NOR HAVE
I BOUGHT HER.

BUT I HAVE GOT
ANOTHER FRIEND

WHAT ENGAGES TO GIVE
SATISFACTION.

WHAT...IS HER NAME?

WHAT'S HER NAME?

HER NAME, SIR, IS...

MRS. HARRIS.

AND YOU HAVE
AGREED WITH HER

TO TAKE CARE OF HIM
BETWEEN YOU?

YES, SIR.

GOOD.
WELL, BRING HER IN.

T'OTHER PERSON, SIR?

YES, YES, THIS...
MRS. HARRIS.

WELL, GO ON, WOMAN.

IT'S MR. CHUZZLEWIT'S WISHES
TO SEE MRS. HARRIS, IS IT?

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

WELL, AS A MATTER
OF FACT, SIR, I--

LOR', WHAT'S THE MATTER,
SIR?

WHO THE DEVIL
D'YOU MEAN

CREEPING ABOUT
INTO MY HOUSE
LIKE THIS, UNCLE?

HMM?

EGOD, I THOUGHT I'D
SEEN MY FATHER'S GHOST.

AS WELL YOU MIGHT.

HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?
HOWEVER IT WAS, YOU CAN
LEAVE THE SAME WAY.

I BORROWED A KEY
FROM YOUR WIFE,

WHO IS NOW
UNDER MY PROTECTION.

PROTECTION?

PROTECTION FROM WHAT?

FROM YOU.

WHY, I'VE A GOOD MIND
TO THROW YOU
DOWN THE STAIRS.

I WOULDN'T DO THAT
IF I WERE YOU,

MUCH AS I'D RELISH
KICKING YOU DOWN
AFTER HIM.

ARE THERE ANY MORE OF YOU,
THEN?

THERE ARE.

BRING HIM IN.

IS THAT THE MAN?

IT IS.

WHY, I KNOW THAT MAN.

HE'S THE WORLD'S
GREATEST LIAR.

WHAT'S HIS LATEST TALE?

HIS SIGNED DEPOSITION,
WRETCHED MAN,

IS THAT YOU OBTAINED
FROM HIM LETHAL DRUGS

WITH WHICH
YOU POISONED MY BROTHER

AND BROUGHT ABOUT
HIS DEATH.

IS THAT CORRECT?

Lewsome: YOU CAN
SEE IT WRITTEN
IN HIS FACE.

NO! NO!

IT'S TRUE. HE CAUSED
HIS FATHER'S DEATH,

BUT NOT
AS YOU THINK.

HE MIXED THE POWDER WITH
MY MASTER'S MEDICINE,

BUT MY MASTER
SAW HIM DOING IT.

HE TOLD ME OF IT.

AND WE THREW
THE POISONED MEDICINE
AWAY AND REPLACED IT,

BUT JONAS THOUGHT
HE WAS STILL TAKING IT.

HE KNOWS HE DID!

IT BROKE
MY MASTER'S HEART

TO THINK THAT
HIS OWN SON

WANTED HIM DEAD SO BAD
HE WOULD MAKE AWAY
WITH HIM.

THAT'S WHAT KILLED HIM.

"I HAVE SOWN...
AND I MUST REAP,"
HE SAID.

"SAY NOTHING, CHUFF,
NOT NOW OR AFTER
I HAVE GONE."

AND I HAVEN'T
UNTIL THIS MOMENT.

NO.

YOU SATISFIED NOW?

THIS STORY IS NO MORE
CREDITABLE TO YOU
THAN THE OTHER.

YOU STILL WISHED
TO KILL YOUR FATHER.

[SNICKERS]

YOU CARRY IT WITH
A HIGH HAND, UNCLE.

[CHUCKLES] IT'S NOT A
HANGING OFFENSE, I THINK,

FOR A MAN TO KEEP
A PENN'ORTH OF POISON
ABOUT HIS PERSON

AND THEN
HAVE IT TAKEN FROM HIM
BY 2 CRAZY OLD JOLTER-HEADS

WHO THEN GO AND ACT
A PLAY ABOUT IT.
HMM? HMM?

DO YOU SEE THE DOOR?

THIS IS NO PLACE
FOR YOU TO REMAIN,
OLD FRIEND.

COME WITH ME.

JUST LIKE
MY MASTER'S VOICE.

I COULD ALMOST BELIEVE
HE'S ALIVE AGAIN,

BUT I CAN'T
COME WITH YOU.

I MUST STAY,
FOR HER SAKE.

FOR WHOSE SAKE?

THEY USED TO CALL HER
MERRY.

SHE'S SAFE WITH ME.

YOU'D BETTER SEND HER HOME
STRAIGHT, OR I'LL HAVE
THE LAW ON YOU.

THE LAW IS HERE
ALREADY.

THAT'S THE MAN.

SECURE HIM.

Old Martin:
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Nadgett: MURDER,
THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS.

WHO ARE YOU?

MY NAME IS NADGETT.

HE'S NOTHING.
HE'S NOBODY.

MY CALLING
IS TO WATCH PEOPLE,

TO WATCH THEM,
FOLLOW THEM,

AND TO, UH,
REPORT ON THEM,

SOMETIMES TO MAKE SURE
THEY DON'T LEAVE
THE COUNTRY.

YOU. HA HA HA.

YOU SENT PINCH
ON BOARD THE BOAT
WITH A LETTER.

REMINDING YOU THAT
THE SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES
OF YOUR FATHER'S DEATH,

INVOLVING THIS MAN HERE,

WERE, IF COMMUNICATED
TO THE POLICE,

ENOUGH TO WARRANT
YOUR ARREST
UPON THE RIVER.

YES, I...I HAVE BEEN
WATCHING THIS MAN
FOR A LONG TIME.

HE HAS NO IDEA HOW LONG.

I'M ONLY SORRY
I WASN'T WATCHING

WHEN HE SLIPPED AWAY
FROM THIS HOUSE

THE NIGHT BEFORE LAST.

IF I HAD BEEN,
I MIGHT HAVE SAVED A LIFE.

BUT I WAS WATCHING WHEN
HE RETURNED IN DISGUISE
EARLY THIS MORNING.

AND I WAS WATCHING LATER
WHEN HE TRIED TO SINK A BAG
UNDER LONDON BRIDGE--

DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU!

WHICH WAS
SUBSEQUENTLY RECOVERED

AND FOUND TO CONTAIN...

A COUNTRYMAN'S CLOTHES
STAINED WITH BLOOD

AND ANSWERING
TO A DESCRIPTION OF A MAN

SEEN ALIGHTING FROM A COACH
ON SALISBURY PLAIN

EARLY YESTERDAY MORNING,

NOT 15 MILES FROM
THE SCENE OF THE CRIME.

WHAT CRIME?

THE MURDER
OF MR. TIGG MONTAGUE.

FORMERLY...
MONTAGUE TIGG.

I THOUGHT OUR PATHS
WOULD CROSS AGAIN ONE DAY,

BUT I LITTLE THOUGHT

I SHOULD BE ARRESTING
A KINSMAN OF MINE
FOR HIS MURDER.

WHY DO YOU
CALL HIM KINSMAN?

FOR THE SAME REASON
THAT I MIGHT CALL YOU.

ME?

MY NAME'S CHEVY SLYME.

IF IT BE SOME DISGRACE
TO SEE YOUR OWN BLOOD
EMPLOYED THIS WAY,

I'M READY TO BE BOUGHT OUT.

NO.

NO, DO YOUR DUTY.

ROBERTS, DALTON,
BRING ROUND THE COACH,

AND WE'LL TAKE HIM
TO THE GAOL.

GOD HAVE MERCY
ON YOUR SOUL.

MERCY? IS SHE
COME HOME YET?

COME WITH ME, OLD FRIEND.

I'LL BRING YOU TO HER.

COME HERE.

WHAT IS IT?

PUT YOUR HAND
IN MY POCKET,

MY INSIDE
BREAST POCKET.

THERE'S 100 POUNDS
IN THERE.

NO. I CAN'T. I DAREN'T.

NOT TO LET ME
ESCAPE.

I KNOW
THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

JUST FOR
5 MINUTES ALONE
IN THE NEXT ROOM.

100 POUNDS
FOR 5 MINUTES...
ALONE.

TO DO WHAT?

ARE YOU GUILTY?

IT MUST END SO
AT LAST...THEN.

LESS DISGRACE
ON THE FAMILY.

[HANDCUFFS CLANGING]

[ANKLE RESTRAINTS CLANGING]

STOP.

WILL YOU ENGAGE
TO SAY A...

A PRAYER NOW OR
SOMETHING OF THAT SORT?

[DOOR OPENS]

YOU'RE TOO SOON.

ONE MINUTE MORE.

Officer: HERE...

TAKE YOUR MONEY
BACK.

NO.

[CONVULSING]

[JONAS GASPS AND GAGS]

ROBERTS! DALTON!
HELP HERE.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[DOOR CLOSES]

MORNING, SIR.

WHY ARE ALL
THESE PEOPLE HERE?

'CAUSE YOUR GRANDFATHER
INVITED 'EM.

[CLOCK CHIMING SOFTLY]

[CLOCK TOLLING]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[DOOR CLOSES]

MR. CHUZZLEWIT,
MY VENERABLE FRIEND,

IS THIS WHAT HAPPENS

AS SOON AS YOU
LEAVE THE PROTECTION
OF MY HUMBLE ABODE?

THESE BLOODSUCKERS,

THESE VERMIN BEGIN TO
SWARM AROUND YOU AGAIN.

IT IS TOO BAD,
REALLY IT IS.

IT SHAKES ONE'S FAITH
IN HUMAN NATURE.

FOR SHAME!

LEAVE HIM ALONE!

LEAVE HIM, I SAY.

FEAR NOT, MY DEAR SIR.

YOU HAVE NOT
SUMMONED ME IN VAIN.

I WILL DEFEND YOU
FROM THESE SWARMERS.

PECKSNIFF,
IS THAT A SOVEREIGN
ON THE FLOOR BEHIND YOU?

A SOVEREIGN?

I THINK NOT.

JUST THERE,
IN FRONT OF YOU.

AAH!

[GASPS]

DRAG HIM AWAY!

TAKE HIM
OUT OF MY REACH!
VILLAIN!

[PECKSNIFF SCREAMS]

HYPOCRITE!

I AM NOT--I AM NOT ANGRY.

I AM HURT.

I AM INJURED IN MY FEELINGS,

B-BUT I AM NOT ANGRY.

I AM ANGRY, SIR.

I AM ANGRY...

BUT MY ANGER IS NOT
ONLY DIRECTED AT YOU.

THE CURSE OF THIS FAMILY
IS THE LOVE OF SELF.

IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

I SEE IT STILL
IN SOME OF YOUR FACES.

BUT, GOD FORGIVE ME,
I DID NOT RECOGNIZE IT
IN MYSELF.

THERE IS
A KIND OF SELFISHNESS

WHICH IS
CONSTANTLY ON THE WATCH

FOR SELFISHNESS IN OTHERS...

AND, HOLDING OTHERS
AT A DISTANCE

BY SUSPICIONS
AND DISTRUSTS,

WONDERS WHY
THEY DON'T APPROACH...

AND DON'T CONFIDE.

THUS...I ONCE DOUBTED
THOSE DEAREST TO ME.

MARTIN, COME HERE.

MARY, MY DEAR...

THIS IS MY GRANDSON,

WHOM I HAVE BROUGHT UP
TO BE MY HEIR.

THIS IS THE ORPHAN GIRL
WHOM I BROUGHT UP TO BE
MY COMPANION,

BUT WHO BECAME MORE LIKE
A DAUGHTER TO ME.

HOW DID I THINK MARTIN

COULD BE EXPOSED
TO THE SUNSHINE
OF HER SWEET NATURE

WITHOUT FALLING IN LOVE
WITH HER?

WELL, PERHAPS I DID
ANTICIPATE SUCH A UNION,

BUT I WANTED IT
TO BE OF MY MAKING...

MY GIFT.

WHEN MARTIN MADE HIS CHOICE
WITHOUT CONSULTING ME,

WE QUARRELED BITTERLY,
AND I DISINHERITED HIM.

I REPENTED MY ACTION...
ALMOST AT ONCE.

I EVEN REDRAFTED MY WILL
IN HIS FAVOR.

BUT THEN THIS SNAKE PECKSNIFF
CAME ON THE SCENE...

PRETENDING TO BE HIS FRIEND.

THIS MADE ME SO SUSPICIOUS
I DESTROYED THE NEW WILL.

I DECIDED TO TEST
PECKSNIFF'S SINCERITY.

IN FRONT
OF HIS OWN CHILDREN,

I ASKED HIM
TO DISMISS MARTIN

INSTANTLY
FROM HIS HOUSEHOLD.

HE AGREED WITHOUT
A SECOND'S HESITATION.

I RESOLVED TO TEST
HIS DUPLICITY TO THE LIMIT.

I PUT MYSELF
ENTIRELY IN HIS HANDS,

BUT EVERY TIME I THOUGHT
I GOT TO THE BOTTOM
OF HIS EVILDOING,

NEW DEPTHS
REVEALED THEMSELVES.

IT BECAME
A FASCINATION TO ME

TO SEE HOW FAR
HE WOULD GO.

BUT WHEN
MY GRANDSON RETURNED
FROM A PERILOUS VOYAGE

SEEKING
RECONCILIATION WITH ME

AND THIS VILE HYPOCRITE

PRESUMED TO SEND HIM
PACKING IN MY NAME,

THEN I THOUGHT
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

PECKSNIFF...

I HAVE
BROUGHT YOU HERE TODAY

NOT MERELY TO DENOUNCE YOU,

BUT MAKE YOU
WITNESS THE HAPPINESS

OF THOSE
YOU SOUGHT TO INJURE.

I HAVE MADE A NEW WILL.

[MURMURING]

EVERYONE HERE PRESENT,
EXCEPT PECKSNIFF,

WILL BE NAMED
AS A BENEFICIARY

FOR A MINIMUM OF 50 POUNDS.

ANYONE WHO ADDRESSES
A SINGLE WORD

TO ME
ON THE SUBJECT OF MONEY

FROM THIS TIME ON,
IMMEDIATELY FORFEITS

HIS OR HER RIGHT
TO A LEGACY.

SOME WHO HAVE BEEN STALWART
AND SELFLESS FRIENDS

TO MARTIN AND MARY

WILL RECEIVE MUCH MORE
GENEROUS BEQUESTS--

MR. TAPLEY...

AND MRS. LUPIN--

WHO IS, I UNDERSTAND,
SHORTLY TO CHANGE HER NAME

TO TAPLEY.

MR. PINCH--

TOM PINCH--

WHOM I MISJUDGED AT FIRST,

BUT WHOSE GOODNESS
ACTED LIKE SUMMER RAIN
UPON MY HEART

IN MY LONG CONFINEMENT
AT PECKSNIFF'S.

MRS. TODGERS
HAS BEEN REWARDED

FOR HER KINDNESS
TO MRS. CHUZZLEWIT.

MERCY HERSELF,
I PROPOSE TO TAKE
UNDER MY OWN PROTECTION.

THE BULK OF MY ESTATE...

I HAVE BEQUEATHED...
TO MY GRANDSON MARTIN,

ON CONDITION THAT HE MARRY
MY WARD MARY GRAHAM.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU BOTH.

YOU MAY PLIGHT YOUR TROTH
IN THE USUAL FASHION.

[KISS]

NOW LEAVE THIS PLACE,
PECKSNIFF,

AND POISON MY SIGHT
NO LONGER.

YOU HAVE PARTAKEN
OF MY HOSPITALITY,
MR. CHUZZLEWIT.

AND PAID FOR IT.

YES, THANK YOU.

THAT SAVORS OF YOUR OLD
FAMILIAR FRANKNESS.

I WAS ABOUT TO MAKE
THE SAME REMARK MYSELF.

BUT YOU...

HAVE DECEIVED ME.

TO BE DECEIVED IMPLIES
A TRUSTING NATURE.

I WOULD RATHER HAVE
A TRUSTING NATURE

THAN A DOUBTING ONE.

I CAME HERE TODAY...

ALREADY WEIGHED DOWN
BY MISFORTUNE.

BECAUSE OF
AN UNFORTUNATE SPECULATION,
COMBINED WITH TREACHERY,

I FIND MYSELF BANKRUPTED.

THE CHILD OF MY BOSOM

IS A WIDOW IN CIRCUMSTANCES
OF DEEP DISGRACE.

I HAVE BEEN UNJUSTLY STRIPPED
OF AN ARCHITECTURAL PRIZE.

I WAS RECEIVED HERE
WITH BLOWS,
BLOWS TO MY FRAME,

BUT MUCH MORE HURTFUL,
PAINFUL BLOWS TO MY HEART.

AND YET...

I FORGIVE YOU.

GOOD MORNING TO YOU, SIR.

OW!

OH, DRAT THE BOY.

BAILEY! WHAT ARE
YOU DOING HERE?

THERE'S NO PERSUADIN' HIM
TO WALK IN A STRAIGHT LINE

LIKE AN ORDINARY CHRISTIAN.

HE ARRIVED ON YOUR DOORSTEP,
MA'AM, HALF AN HOUR AGO,

SAYIN' HE'D LOST HIS MEMORY
ON ACCOUNT OF AN ACCIDENT,

AND THE ONLY THING
HE COULD REMEMBER

WAS THE NAME OF TODGERS--

TODGERS.

WHICH AN HONEST CABBY
KNEW WHERE IT WAS

AND DELIVERED HIM
LIKE A PARCEL.

BAILEY,
DO YOU KNOW ME?

I KNOWS YOUR VOICE.

IT REMINDS ME
OF THE SMELL
OF BOOT POLISH.

WAS YOU EVER MARRIED
TO A MAN CALLED
JINKINS?

[TITTERS]
OH, GRACIOUS, BAILEY,

HAVE YOU
ACQUIRED SECOND SIGHT
IN PLACE OF A MEMORY?

SIT DOWN HERE.
BE QUIET.

MRS. GAMP, WASN'T
MRS. CHUZZLEWIT

LEFT IN YOUR CHARGE?

YES, SIR,
BUT SHE TOLD ME

TO BRING THE LETTER
TO HER SISTER AT ONCE,

IN CASE IT WAS IMPORTANT.

A LETTER FOR ME?

YES, MA'AM.
IT'S FROM A MR. MODDLE.

IT SAYS SO
ON THE OUTSIDE--
FROM TILBURY.

BUT AUGUSTUS
IS AT HIS OFFICE
IN CHEAPSIDE.

HE SPECIFICALLY TOLD ME
THAT HE WOULD BE THERE
ALL DAY.

OHH...

OHH!

AAH.

"EVER-INJURED
MISS PECKSNIFF:

"BEFORE THIS
REACHES YOU,

"THE UNDERSIGNED
WILL BE--
IF NOT A CORPSE--

"AT SEA,
BOUND FOR TASMANIA.

"SEND NOT
IN PURSUIT.

"I WILL NOT
BE TAKEN ALIVE.

"I LOVE ANOTHER.
SHE IS ANOTHER'S.

"EVERYTHING
APPEARS TO BE
SOMEBODY ELSE'S.

"OH, MISS PECKSNIFF,
WHY DIDN'T YOU
LEAVE ME ALONE?

"BUT I WILL NOT
REPROACH,

"FOR I HAVE
WRONGED YOU.

MAY THE FURNITURE
MAKE SOME AMENDS."

FURNITURE?
DOES HE MEAN FUTURE?

NO. I BELIEVE
THE ALLUSION

IS TO A
FOUR-POSTER BED,
SIR.

"FAREWELL.

"BE THE BRIDE
OF A DUCAL CORONET
AND FORGET ME.

"UNALTERABLY,
NEVER YOURS...

AUGUSTUS."

POOR MISS PECKSNIFF.
I WOULDN'T HAVE
BELIEVED IT.

OH, UH, TRY THESE
SMELLING SALTS, MA'AM,

FAILING WHICH,
BURNING BROWN PAPER
UNDER THE NOSE

IS A SOVEREIGN
REMEDY.

AH, OH,
SHE'S COMING ROUND.

[SIGHING]

HER SISTER IS
WIDOWED, SIR.

MRS. HARRIS, WAS
KNOWED ME MANY YEARS,

WILL TELL YOU
SHE CAN'T DO BETTER,

AND SHE MAY DO WORSE.

THEN LET ME WAIT
UPON HER...PERMANENT.

MR. TAPLEY.
YES, SIR?

HAS THIS GOOD PERSON
BEEN PAID FOR THE TROUBLE
WE GAVE HER?

I PAID HER IN ADVANCE,
SIR. LIBERAL.

THEN HERE WE WILL
CLOSE OUR ACQUAINTANCE,
MRS. GAMP.

I WOULD NOT ADVISE YOU
TO COME TO ME FOR
A TESTIMONIAL.

ALLOW ME MERELY
TO RECOMMEND
THAT IN FUTURE

YOU TAKE A LITTLE
LESS LIQUOR...

AND A LITTLE MORE CARE
OF YOUR PATIENTS.

GOOD DAY TO YOU.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

WELL, MY DEARS,

ALL'S WELL
THAT ENDS WELL, EH?

IF I HAD LESS REASON
TO REPROACH MYSELF,
GRANDFATHER,

I MIGHT REPROACH YOU
FOR ALL POOR MARY

HAS SUFFERED
BY YOUR DECEPTION.

IT WAS NOT MUCH,
MARTIN.

IN MY HEART,
I NEVER DOUBTED
THAT YOUR GRANDFATHER

WOULD COME TO
HIS SENSES ONE DAY.

NO, HE'S RIGHT,
MY DEAR.

IT WAS CRUEL OF ME
TO KEEP YOU IN THE DARK
FOR SO LONG.

SELFISHNESS AGAIN.

CAN YOU FORGIVE ME?

I NEVER ENTIRELY
REJECTED YOU, MARTIN,
IN MY HEART.

DO YOU
REMEMBER RECEIVING
A 20-POUND BANK NOTE?

YOU SENT IT?
HOW DID YOU KNOW
WHERE I WAS?

I SAW YOUR ADVERTISEMENT
IN THE NEWSPAPER--

"CARE OF CHUZZLEWIT"
DID NOT DECEIVE ME.

IF I HAD KNOWN
IT CAME FROM YOU,

I WOULD NEVER HAVE
GONE TO AMERICA.

I HOPED TO BRING YOU
BACK TO ME PENITENT...

AND HUMBLED,

BUT I WAS TOO PROUD
TO REVEAL MY OWN HAND.

HUMPH.

WELL, THAT'S ALL PAST,
YES...

MY BOY?

GRANDFATHER.

TOM?

OH, RUTH.

WHAT A MORNING
FOR REVELATIONS, EH?

INCLUDING ONE
THAT WAS NEVER UTTERED.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU LOVE HER,
DON'T YOU?

OH, TOM...

I FEEL SO FOR YOU.

COME, COME.

THIS IS
NO CRYING MATTER.

BY HER OWN CHOICE,
SHE IS BETROTHED
TO MARTIN

AND WAS LONG BEFORE
EITHER OF THEM

KNEW OF
MY EXISTENCE.

AND DO YOU THINK,
EVEN IF SHE'D
NEVER SEEN HIM,

SHE WOULD'VE
FALLEN IN LOVE
WITH ME?

YES, SHE WOULD'VE.
OF COURSE SHE WOULD'VE.

IT'S SO UNFAIR.

YOU THINK OF ME,
RUTH--

AND IT IS VERY NATURAL
THAT YOU SHOULD--

AS IF I WERE
A CHARACTER IN A BOOK,

AND YOU
MAKE IT A KIND OF
A POETICAL JUSTICE

THAT I SHOULD,
BY SOME IMPOSSIBLE MEANS
OR OTHER,

COME AT LAST
TO MARRY THE PERSON
THAT I LOVE.

BUT THERE IS
A HIGHER JUSTICE

THAN THE POETICAL KIND,
MY DEAR.

I DON'T GRIEVE
FOR THE IMPOSSIBLE.
