Part
1: (The
film begins with a person reading a book who is introducing themselves:)
Pip: "My family’s name being
Pirrip, and my Christian name is Phillip. Because when I was a small child
I could not say my name, I called myself Pip, thus my name became Pip."
It is windy, and
Pip is walking to an old church where his mother and father are buried
together. Pip places flowers on their grave. Suddenly a frightening man
comes, and Pip screams in fright:
Pip: "Aaaaaaaghoww!"
Convict: "Keep still you little
devil or I’ll cut your throat!"
Pip: "No sir, no!"
Convict: "What’s your name?
Quick!"
Pip: "Pip, sir."
Part
1.1:
Convict: "Show me where you live,
point to the place."
Pip: "There sir, there."
(Pip points to his house.)
Convict: "And now, where is your
mother?"
Pip: " "There sir." (The
convict begins to go away, in fright:)
Pip: " "No sir, there sir.
Also Georgiana, that’s my mother."
Convict: "Uhuh, and is that your
father buried along with your mother?"
Pip: "Yes sir, him too."
Convict: "Now who do you live with?
Supposing you are kindly let to live. which I have not made up my mind
about yet."
Pip: "With my sister, sir. Mrs Joe
Gargery, wife of Joe Gargery the blacksmith."
Convict: "The blacksmith, egh?"
Part
1.2:
Convict: "Do you know what a file
is?"
Pip: "Yes, sir."
Convict: "And do you know what
grub is?"
Pip: "Yes sir, food sir."
Convict: "You get me a file, and
you get me grub or I’ll tear your heart and liver out!"
Pip: "If you will kindly put me
upright sir, perhaps I should not be sick and perhaps I could listen to
you more sir."
Convict: "Now you bring that file
and food to me in this churchyard tomorrow morning early."
Pip: "Yes, sir."
Convict: "And never dare to say
a word of having seen such a person as me!"
Pip: "No sir."
Convict: "If you do, you’re
heart and liver will be torn out and roasted and eaten. There is a young
man hiding here with me, and in comparison with him I am an angel. That
young man has a secret way of getting at a boy and at his liver! A boy
may lock his door and be warm in bed. A boy may pull the covers over his
head, but that young man will softly creep his way to him and tear him
open! Say, heaven strike you dead if you don’t!"
Pip: "Heaven strike me dead if I
don’t."
Convict: "Now you know what you
promised young man. Get off home."
Pip: "Good night sir."
Part
2: (Pip
runs home, he is terrified. He closes and carefully locks the door behind
himself:)
Pip: "Hello Joe."
Joe: "Mrs Joe has been out a dozen
times looking for you Pip. She is out again now, making it a baker’s
dozen."
Pip: "She…"
Joe: "What is worse is she has got
tickler with her too. She got up, she made a grab at tickler and she ran
out Pip, she ran out."
Mrs Joe: "Where is that boy? When
I get that boy he will get a beating!"
Joe: "Here she is coming. Get behind
the door old chap and get the towel between you and her!"
Mrs Joe: "You young… You…"
(Mrs Joe begins to beat Pip with a cane, on his bottom.
Joe watches, sadly:)
Pip: "Ouch! Oh! Oh!"
Part
2.1:
Mrs Joe: "Now then, where have you
been?"
Pip: "I have only been to the churchyard."
Mrs Joe: "Churchyard! You would
have been in the churchyard long ago if it hadn’t have been for me,
and stayed there! It is bad enough being a blacksmith’s wife, without
having to be a second mother to you! Churchyard, indeed!"
Mrs Joe: "You will have me in the
churchyard one of these days, keeping me on the rampage with my poor heart!
Get to the table, both of you."

cannon explodes outside:
Pip: "Listen?" (The
cannon explodes outside again:)

Joe: "Yes, there is another convict
out?"

Mrs Joe: "Oh, escaped, escaped!"
Joe: "There was one escaped last
night, they fired a warning about his escape. That must be a second one"
Part

Pip: "Where is the firing from?"
Mrs Joe: "Jack the boy, ask no questions,
you will be told no lies."
Pip: "Mrs Joe, I should like to
know, if you do not much mind, where is the firing from
Mrs Joe: "Bless the boy, from the
hulks, of course!"
