  Speaker 2: Late one gusty autumn afternoon, I visited the village churchyard

  Speaker 2: where my mother and father are buried. Suddenly, from behind
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: one of the tombstones.
• 2:05
  Speaker 9: Keep still, you little devil, or I'll cut your throat.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: He was looming over me, huge and horrible. His great
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: wrists shackled in a chain. An escaped convict.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: Tell us your name, quick.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Pip.
• 2:19
  Speaker 10: Pip, sir.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: You're lying. That's no name.
• 2:22
  Speaker 10: Oh, it is, sir.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: Pip, it really is.
• 2:24
  Speaker 10: But they call me Pip.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Show us where you live.
• 2:27
  Speaker 10: Three miles, sir. Across the marshes.
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: Where's your father? Here, sir.
• 2:31
  Speaker 10: This is his grave.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: Your mother? Here, too, sir. Oh, do you live where, then?
• 2:35
  Speaker 11: Supposing you're kindly let live, which I ain't made up
• 2:38
  Speaker 11: my mind about yet.
• 2:39
  Speaker 10: With my sister, sir.
• 2:40
  Speaker 12: Mrs.
• 2:40
  Speaker 10: Joe Gargrey, wife of Joe Gargrey, the blacksmith.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Blacksmith, eh?
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: You know what a file looks like?
• 2:47
  Speaker 9: A file?
• 2:48
  Speaker 10: Yes, sir.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: Do you know what whittles is? Yes, sir.
• 2:51
  Speaker 10: Food, sir.
• 2:51
  Speaker 11: Then you get me a file and you get me
• 2:53
  Speaker 11: whittles or I'll have your rot and liver out.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Try, sir.
• 2:57
  Speaker 11: And you'll bring them whittles and that file to me
• 2:59
  Speaker 11: in this churchyard tomorrow morning at daylight.
• 3:01
  Speaker 13: Yes, sir.
• 3:02
  Speaker 11: And never a word of having seen such a person
• 3:04
  Speaker 11: as me.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: No, sir. There's another man hid with me around here.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: He has a secret.
• 3:09
  Speaker 11: Way of getting at a boy and tearing him wide open. Now,
• 3:15
  Speaker 11: say I haven't struck you dead if you breathe a word.
• 3:18
  Speaker 10: Heaven strike me dead if I breathe a word.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: Now get your home.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: What sleep I had that night was plagued with the
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: dreadful vision of the convict waiting for me in the churchyard.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: I was up long before dawn. From the pantry I
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: stole a pork pie and some brandy and from Joe's
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: shop a file. I ran most of the way. It
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: gave me less time to think.
• 3:42
  Speaker 10: I'm here, sir.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: You brought no one with you?
• 3:46
  Speaker 10: No, sir. This is for you, sir.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: What?
• 3:48
  Speaker 10: Pork pie and Joe's brandy.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: Give it here.
• 3:51
  Speaker 10: I think you have the chills, sir.
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: I'm much of your opinion, boy. The food now. The food!
• 4:04
  Speaker 10: Are you starved, sir? I'm glad to see you enjoy it, sir.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Thank you, boy.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: Thank you, I do.
• 4:14
  Speaker 10: Aren't you going to leave any for him?
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: Him?
• 4:18
  Speaker 10: Your friend, the other man.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: I did not say he was a friend of mine. Anyway,
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: he's gone. Now give us the file, boy.
• 4:29
  Speaker 10: If there isn't anything else, sir, please go home now.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: Yes, go home. I'm beholden to you.
• 4:41
  Speaker 14: Thank you, boy.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: All day long, the mounted soldiers swarmed over the marshes,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: searching for the convicts. They were captured, both of them.
• 4:54
  Speaker 8: On the way back to the prison ship, the sergeant's
• 4:56
  Speaker 8: horse lost a shoe, so they stopped at Joe's blacksmith shop.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: With them was the convict I had helped.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: Oh, you caught them both.
• 5:05
  Speaker 15: What happened to the other one?
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: The corporals took him on ahead.
• 5:09
  Speaker 9: We'd not have got this one if it wasn't for
• 5:11
  Speaker 9: the help that somebody gave us.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: Any language? Any right now? That's right enough.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Ah?
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: What are you looking at the boy for? No reason.
• 5:21
  Speaker 11: Sergeant, I wish to say something respecting this here escape.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: Ah, you do, eh? Well, say it.
• 5:27
  Speaker 11: It might prevent some persons from suffering suspicions now that
• 5:31
  Speaker 11: I know it was my shipmate who turned me in.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 5:35
  Speaker 11: I stole some food from this blacksmith's house last night.
• 5:38
  Speaker 15: You were in my house last night?
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: I stole a dram of liquor and a pork pie.
• 5:43
  Speaker 10: A pork pie?
• 5:44
  Speaker 15: My Mrs. Fair tore the house down looking for that.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry to say I ate your pie.
• 5:49
  Speaker 16: Oh, you're welcome to it, as ever it were mine.
• 5:51
  Speaker 16: We wouldn't have you starved to death, would we, Pip?
• 5:54
  Speaker 10: No, Joe, no.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: Now, get back to your forge, blacksmith. It's getting late.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: It was a year later when an adventure of quite
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: another sort befell me. My great-uncle Pumblechook came to the
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: house on a very mysterious errand.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: That's all I know, Mrs. Jew.
• 6:12
  Speaker 17: Miss Havisham said to her that she wants the boy
• 6:14
  Speaker 17: to call on her.
• 6:15
  Speaker 13: You hear that, boy?
• 6:17
  Speaker 10: Yes, ma'am.
• 6:18
  Speaker 15: But, uncle, it don't make sense.
• 6:20
  Speaker 16: What she want him for in that great old house?
• 6:23
  Speaker 15: Do you know who Miss Havisham is?
• 6:25
  Speaker 10: The strange lady who nobody sees.
• 6:27
  Speaker 15: Aye, and she's mad. Ain't she, Mrs.
• 6:29
  Speaker 14: Joe?
• 6:29
  Speaker 10: She may be mad, but she's rich enough to make
• 6:31
  Speaker 10: the boy's fortune.
• 6:32
  Speaker 17: The message said she wants Pip to come to her
• 6:34
  Speaker 17: house and play.
• 6:36
  Speaker 10: Then he'd better go and play or I'll work him good.
• 6:38
  Speaker 10: Get to the pump, boy.
• 6:40
  Speaker 13: Get to the pump and scrub till you shine.
• 6:51
  Speaker 17: There's a fine big gate, Grand Nevy.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: So ring the bell. Ring it, boy.
• 6:58
  Speaker 10: What name?
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: Pumblechook.
• 7:01
  Speaker 10: Quite right. She's coming.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: It's a girl. First girl you've ever seen, is it?
• 7:06
  Speaker 15: No, sir.
• 7:07
  Speaker 9: Then restrain your observation, sir, till invited.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: This is Pip, young lady.
• 7:13
  Speaker 18: So this is Pip, is it?
• 7:14
  Speaker 10: Come in, Pip. Not you. Only him.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: Eh? Not me?
• 7:20
  Speaker 18: Go away.
• 7:21
  Speaker 10: Come along, boy.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Come along.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: The house was like nothing I had ever seen before
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: or since, with a musty smell.
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: And dust and cobwebs everywhere as if the house had died.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Not a ray of sunlight, only the glimmer of a
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: candle in the hand of the little girl and the
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: ring of our footsteps on the stone.
• 7:44
  Speaker 18: This door, boy. Over here.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: Do you miss?
• 7:49
  Speaker 18: Don't be silly. I'm not going in.
• 7:52
  Speaker 19: Who is it?
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Who's there?
• 7:55
  Speaker 10: Pitman?
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: Mr.
• 7:56
  Speaker 10: Pumblechook's boy.
• 7:57
  Speaker 9: Come to play.
• 8:00
  Speaker 19: Let me look at you.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 8:04
  Speaker 12: You aren't afraid of a woman who has never seen
• 8:07
  Speaker 12: the sun since before you were born?
• 8:09
  Speaker 10: No, Miss Havisham.
• 8:11
  Speaker 12: Look at my hand. What do I touch when I
• 8:15
  Speaker 12: put my hand here?
• 8:17
  Speaker 10: Your heart.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Broken.
• 8:21
  Speaker 19: My broken heart.
• 8:24
  Speaker 12: Sometimes I have sick fancies, boy.
• 8:28
  Speaker 19: And I have had a fancy that I would like
• 8:30
  Speaker 19: to see someone play. Well, play.
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: Play.
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: Estella, come here.
• 8:35
  Speaker 19: Play with this boy.
• 8:36
  Speaker 10: With him? A common laboring boy?
• 8:38
  Speaker 18: Look at his boots.
• 8:39
  Speaker 19: You can break his heart, Estella. Boy, play cards with her.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: Here. Cards.
• 8:47
  Speaker 10: Deal the cards, boy. Yes, miss. What coarse hands. Sorry, miss.
• 8:52
  Speaker 18: Now look what you've done. You've dropped the cards. Excuse me,
• 8:55
  Speaker 18: I'll pick them up. You stupid, clumsy, laboring boy.
• 8:59
  Speaker 19: She has many hard things to say of you, Pip.
• 9:02
  Speaker 19: Have you nothing to say of her?
• 9:04
  Speaker 10: I think she is very insulting.
• 9:07
  Speaker 19: Anything else?
• 9:09
  Speaker 10: I think she is very pretty.
• 9:11
  Speaker 12: Anything else?
• 9:12
  Speaker 10: I think I should like to go home now.
• 9:16
  Speaker 19: And never see her again. Even though she is so pretty.
• 9:20
  Speaker 10: I'm not sure that I shouldn't like to see her again.
• 9:24
  Speaker 10: I think I should like to go home now.
• 9:26
  Speaker 19: You shall go home in time. Play the game out.
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: Thereafter, in accordance with Miss Havisham's wishes, I made innumerable
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: visits to the great house. Each time, with her cruel,
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: tormenting smile, Estella would meet me and take me to
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: Miss Havisham.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Well, boy?
• 9:49
  Speaker 10: Well, miss? Am I pretty today? Yes, I think you
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: are very pretty. Am I insulting? Not so much as Tuesday, miss.
• 9:57
  Speaker 10: Not so much so.
• 9:59
  Speaker 14: Take that, you!
• 10:00
  Speaker 18: Coarse little monster what do you think of me now
• 10:02
  Speaker 18: i won't tell you why don't you cry again you
• 10:06
  Speaker 18: little wretch cried the first day didn't you i saw
• 10:08
  Speaker 18: you went through the gate crying she'll never cry because
• 10:12
  Speaker 18: of you again open the door today she's in there.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: This was one of the many rooms I had never
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: before entered. In the candlelight, I saw an immense table
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: with chairs about and laden with dishes in fine silver.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Seated at the head of the table was Miss Havisham.
• 10:33
  Speaker 12: Do you know what that is in the center of
• 10:36
  Speaker 12: the table? No, ma'am.
• 10:39
  Speaker 19: A wedding cake.
• 10:42
  Speaker 12: My wedding cake.
• 10:45
  Speaker 19: Long before you were born, it was placed there. It
• 10:49
  Speaker 19: and I have worn away together.
• 10:53
  Speaker 12: The mice have gnawed at it, Pip. But sharper teeth
• 10:58
  Speaker 12: have gnawed at me.
• 11:00
  Speaker 19: There, there, boy. Run along now, run along.
• 11:04
  Speaker 12: You'll find Estella in the garden.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Estella was not in the garden.
• 11:12
  Speaker 8: A boy was there, a stranger, stripped to the waist
• 11:15
  Speaker 8: He said Estella had sent for him to fight me
• 11:17
  Speaker 8: and teach me manners. So I fought with him and
• 11:20
  Speaker 8: cut his.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Eye and sent his nose to bleeding. He was very
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: gracious about it.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: Well, you've won all right.
• 11:28
  Speaker 10: Fight's over.
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: Can't I help you?
• 11:30
  Speaker 10: I didn't mean to.
• 11:31
  Speaker 9: No, thanks.
• 11:32
  Speaker 10: I'm tip-top. Can't understand how you did it, though. You're leaving?
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: Oh, yes.
• 11:38
  Speaker 10: No point in staying now, is there?
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: Good afternoon, then.
• 11:41
  Speaker 10: Same to you. Boy, where are you? Over here and
• 11:46
  Speaker 10: don't ask. When I call, you come.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: Yes, miss.
• 11:50
  Speaker 10: You whipped the village boy. I had no wish to
• 11:53
  Speaker 10: fight at all. But you whipped him. So you may
• 11:56
  Speaker 10: kiss me. Thank you. Go home. It's no use. You'll
• 12:03
  Speaker 10: never become a gentleman.
• 12:08
  Speaker 8: I would never be a gentleman any more than I
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: could give up running to Miss Havisham's every time she
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: gave me leave to do so.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: And each time, Estella hovered about. But never again did
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: she tell me I might kiss her.
• 12:19
  Speaker 10: I hate you, boy. I hate you.
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: My admiration of her knew no bounds. And scarcely a
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: night went by without my falling asleep with the image
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: of her lovely face before my eyes. Then came a
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: day when I went to Havisham House with slow feet
• 12:34
  Speaker 8: and heavy heart.
• 12:35
  Speaker 10: Can't come to see you anymore, Miss Havisham.
• 12:38
  Speaker 19: I've heard the news, Pip. Your sister has died.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 12:41
  Speaker 19: She treated you miserably. You'll do better without her.
• 12:44
  Speaker 10: But I have to help Jonah, Miss Havisham, at the forge.
• 12:48
  Speaker 12: An apprentice blacksmith?
• 12:50
  Speaker 16: You?
• 12:51
  Speaker 10: Yes, Miss Havisham.
• 12:52
  Speaker 19: Since this is your last visit here, some golden sovereigns.
• 12:56
  Speaker 10: Thank you.
• 12:57
  Speaker 19: You've earned them well.
• 12:59
  Speaker 10: Thank you. Estella, show the boy out. Goodbye, Miss Havisham.
• 13:06
  Speaker 18: I heard what you told her. You'd better say goodbye
• 13:09
  Speaker 18: to me, too, because I'm going away.
• 13:12
  Speaker 10: Going away?
• 13:13
  Speaker 18: To France, to be educated.
• 13:15
  Speaker 10: France?
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 13:18
  Speaker 10: Aren't you sorry I'm going? Yes, Sister Stella. Very sorry.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: Well, who have we here? A boy, Mr.
• 13:25
  Speaker 10: Jaggers.
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: A boy? From the neighborhood, eh?
• 13:29
  Speaker 10: Yes, sir. Miss Havisham sent for me, sir.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: Well, behave yourself, then.
• 13:33
  Speaker 9: I have a pretty large experience of boys, and you're
• 13:35
  Speaker 9: a bad lot of fellows. Miss, I shall talk to
• 13:38
  Speaker 9: you about your passage to France.
• 13:40
  Speaker 10: I'll be right there, Mr.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Jaggers.
• 13:43
  Speaker 10: I wish I knew when you were coming back, Estella.
• 13:45
  Speaker 10: And I wish... Well, what do you wish? I wish
• 13:49
  Speaker 10: I could kiss you goodbye.
• 13:51
  Speaker 18: Well, try it and see what happens.
• 13:54
  Speaker 10: Thank you. Thank you, blacksmith.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: My boyhood had ended, and my life as a blacksmith began.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: I was happy enough.
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: Especially when Joe brought Biddy into our house, as the
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: new Mrs. Joe, a trusted friend of both of us
• 14:13
  Speaker 8: and a blessing on the household. In the sixth year
• 14:16
  Speaker 8: of my apprenticeship, I saw Mr.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: Jaggers again.
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: He came to the cottage asking to see Joe and
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: me alone.
• 14:22
  Speaker 9: So you are the blacksmith, eh? By name Joseph or
• 14:24
  Speaker 9: Joe Gargery?
• 14:26
  Speaker 15: Yes, sir.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: Have you an apprentice commonly known as Pip? I'm Pip, sir.
• 14:30
  Speaker 9: So you're Pip. My name is Jaggers. I'm a lawyer
• 14:33
  Speaker 9: in London. You'd better close that door.
• 14:35
  Speaker 11: Yes, sir.
• 14:36
  Speaker 9: Now, Joseph Gargery, I am the bearer of an offer
• 14:38
  Speaker 9: to relieve you of this young fellow. You would not
• 14:41
  Speaker 9: object to cancelling his apprenticeship for his own good?
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: You would want nothing for so doing?
• 14:46
  Speaker 16: Oh, heaven forbid that I should want anything for not
• 14:48
  Speaker 16: standing in Pip's way. Oh, he's a fine good lad, sir.
• 14:51
  Speaker 9: Very well, then. I come now to the young fellow himself.
• 14:55
  Speaker 9: To him I say that he has great expectations. I
• 14:58
  Speaker 9: am instructed to inform him that he will come into
• 15:01
  Speaker 9: a handsome property.
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: Wait, Joe, wait.
• 15:03
  Speaker 9: Further, it is the desire of the present possessor of
• 15:06
  Speaker 9: that property that he shall be immediately removed from his
• 15:10
  Speaker 9: present sphere and brought up as befits a young gentleman,
• 15:13
  Speaker 9: and that he always bear the name of Pip.
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: Do you have any objection? Mention it now.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: I have no objection.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: I should think not indeed. Further, Mr.
• 15:22
  Speaker 9: Pip, you are to understand that the name of the
• 15:25
  Speaker 9: person who is your benefactor is to remain a profound
• 15:29
  Speaker 9: secret until the person chooses to reveal it.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
• 15:31
  Speaker 9: If you have any suspicion as to whom that person
• 15:34
  Speaker 9: might be, keep that suspicion within.
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: Your own breasts, sir. Well, Mr. Pip?
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I have no objection.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: Now then, kindly consider me your guardian.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Thank you, sir.
• 15:46
  Speaker 9: Let me tell you, I am well paid for my services. Otherwise,
• 15:48
  Speaker 9: I should not render them. I shall arrange for you
• 15:50
  Speaker 9: to come to London in two weeks. You will need
• 15:54
  Speaker 9: some new clothes. Here, sir, 20 guineas. Well, Joseph Gargery,
• 15:58
  Speaker 9: you look dumbfounded.
• 15:59
  Speaker 15: Hey, sir, I am.
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: Then good night, Mr. Gargery. Good night, Mr. Pip. Good night.
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: Since I start for London tomorrow, Miss Havisham, I thought
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: you would kindly not mind my taking leave of you.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: Well, Pip.
• 16:20
  Speaker 19: Well, I must say your new clothes are quite handsome.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Miss Havisham, I have come into wonderful good fortune since.
• 16:27
  Speaker 14: I saw you.
• 16:28
  Speaker 10: I have seen Mr.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Jaggers, Pip.
• 16:30
  Speaker 19: I have heard all about it.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Have you had any news from Estella?
• 16:35
  Speaker 12: Oh, yes.
• 16:36
  Speaker 19: Prettier than ever, I dare say. And admired by all
• 16:39
  Speaker 19: who see her. You, too, have a promising career. Be
• 16:45
  Speaker 19: good and deserve it.
• 16:47
  Speaker 14: Yes, Miss Havisham.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Miss Havisham. Thank you for everything.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Goodbye, Joe.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: Goodbye, Biddy.
• 17:03
  Speaker 15: God bless you, dear old Pip. God bless you.
• 17:05
  Speaker 19: Take care, boy. Take good care.
• 17:08
  Speaker 15: One day I'll come and see you in London, Pip.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: What larks, eh?
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: Goodbye.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Joe, who's behind all this?
• 17:20
  Speaker 19: Who could it be, Joe?
• 17:22
  Speaker 15: You'd best not worry your head over that, Lois. Just
• 17:25
  Speaker 15: wave goodbye to a young gentleman.
• 17:28
  Speaker 20: A young gentleman of great expectations.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: You'll hear Act II of Great Expectations in a moment.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: You know, our servicemen overseas have a wonderful opportunity to
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: observe new customs and traditions. They find, too, that these
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: ideas of other people aren't so strange after all. Take,
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: for example, the foods that people eat or don't eat.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: Among many people, eating of beef or pork is absolutely taboo.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Among others, any flesh may be eaten except that from
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: animals with clothed hooves. Some groups will eat fish only
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: if they have scales. Everybody has his favorite food, too,
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: such delicacies as fish heads in Japan. Frog's legs in
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: France or pig's knuckles in Germany. All these things might
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: sound strange, but as our servicemen have observed, there are
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: reasons for them. The reasons may be religious, as in
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: the case of not eating pork, or they may be
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: based on dietary rules from the standpoint of health.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: We have the same thing in our own culture.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: You like a big stack of hotcakes for breakfast covered
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: with plenty of melted butter and maple syrup. But your
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: wife finds she can lose a couple of pounds where
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: it counts by eating a half a grapefruit and a
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: cup of black coffee. Then we have our food fattests,
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: the people who advise wheat germ or stone ground flour
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: or a big helping of blackstrap molasses. If it makes
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: them feel better, then that's the right diet for them.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: You can add to the list the thousands of vegetarians.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: They get along fine without T-bone steaks. And many of
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: our religious groups follow certain rules as regards food. The
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: Orthodox Jews refrain from eating pork products. Catholics abstain from
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: eating meat on Friday. Other orders have certain days for fasting.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: What is true about food habits around the world is
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: true also of other customs and traditions. The way of
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: doing things may be different, but the ideals are the same.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: And they're important to the people who follow them. Our
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: servicemen are helping to maintain goodwill by observing the customs
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: of other people in other lands.
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: Now our producer, Mr. Cummings.
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: Act Two of Great Expectations, starring Rock Hudson as Pip
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: and Barbara Rush as Estella.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: London. The glory and wonder of London. And I was
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: a part of it now. Or rather, soon would be.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Upon my arrival, I went at once to the offices
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: of Mr.
• 20:08
  Speaker 14: Jagger's.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: So you have arrived safely, Mr. Pip. Well, we shall
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: soon settle you. Wemmick, bring the file on, Mr. Pip.
• 20:16
  Speaker 15: Yes, sir.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: You are scrutinizing.
• 20:19
  Speaker 14: My office, Mr.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: Pip.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, I beg your pardon, sir.
• 20:22
  Speaker 9: Those clay masks that you see on the wall, they
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: are death masks, Mr.
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: Pip. Deceased clients.
• 20:29
  Speaker 9: I have had the honor, sir, of defending some of
• 20:31
  Speaker 9: the most distinguished criminals of the generation.
• 20:34
  Speaker 14: Yes, sir. Mr.
• 20:35
  Speaker 15: Pip's file, sir.
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: Mr.
• 20:37
  Speaker 9: Pip Wemmick here will conduct you to Barnard's Inn. You
• 20:40
  Speaker 9: will share rooms there with Mr.
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: Herbert Pocket. Yes, sir. Mr.
• 20:43
  Speaker 9: Pocket will assist in your acquaintance and the manners of London.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: I take it this is agreeable? Indeed, sir. Next, money.
• 20:51
  Speaker 9: Your allowance will be 250 pounds per annum.
• 20:55
  Speaker 14: A very handsome sum of money.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: Too, I think. Undoubtedly, Mr. Jaggers.
• 20:59
  Speaker 14: Of course, you'll go.
• 21:00
  Speaker 9: Wrong somehow, but that being neither fault nor affair of mine,
• 21:03
  Speaker 9: why spend time talking about it, eh?
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: Goodbye then, Mr. Pip, and good luck.
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: My rooms in Barnard's Inn were most comfortable, and the
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: young man I shared them with, Herbert Pocket, most amiable.
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: After supper that night, we suddenly found ourselves staring at
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: each other.
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: Why, you're the boy.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: No, you're the boy.
• 21:22
  Speaker 21: The boy who knocked me down in Miss Havisham's garden.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: I knew I'd seen you someplace before.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: Well, then.
• 21:28
  Speaker 21: Instead of new friends, we're old friends. If Miss Havisham
• 21:31
  Speaker 21: had taken a liking to me instead of you, suppose
• 21:34
  Speaker 21: I should have been provided for. I might even be
• 21:37
  Speaker 21: engaged to Estella.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Herbert, who is Estella? Why, Miss Havisham's ward.
• 21:42
  Speaker 21: Brought up by Miss Havisham to wreck revenge on all
• 21:44
  Speaker 21: the male sex.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Wreck revenge? Good heavens, Pip, I thought you knew. Knew what? Oh,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: dear me.
• 21:51
  Speaker 21: Anyway, some 20 years ago, Miss Havisham fell passionately in
• 21:54
  Speaker 21: love with a stranger. The marriage was arranged, the wedding
• 21:56
  Speaker 21: date was set, and the day of the marriage arrived,
• 21:59
  Speaker 21: but not the bridegroom. Instead, he sent a note and
• 22:02
  Speaker 21: bade her farewell. Miss Havisham fell immediately ill. When she recovered,
• 22:06
  Speaker 21: if ever she did, she laid the whole place waste,
• 22:09
  Speaker 21: as you have seen it, and has ever since looked
• 22:12
  Speaker 21: upon the light of day.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: But when did she adopt Estella? I don't know. You
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: know as much about Estella as I do. If I
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: learned little from Herbert about Estella, I learned a great
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: deal of the art of being a useless young gentleman.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: On my 21st birthday, Mr. Jaggers, my guardian, sent for me.
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: Sit down, Mr. Pip.
• 22:36
  Speaker 9: Now then, what do you suppose you are living at
• 22:39
  Speaker 9: the rate of?
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: The rate of, Mr.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: Jaggers? The rate of.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid I'm not able to answer that.
• 22:46
  Speaker 9: I thought so. Well, I've asked you a question. Have
• 22:51
  Speaker 9: you a question to ask of me?
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: It would be a great relief to ask you several questions, Mr. Jaggers,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: if it were not forbidden.
• 22:58
  Speaker 14: Ask one.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Is my benefactor to be made known to me today?
• 23:04
  Speaker 14: No, ask me another.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Well, I was wondering if I had anything to receive.
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes, yes. I thought we should come to that. Webeck!
• 23:17
  Speaker 15: Oh, yes, sir.
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: Mr.
• 23:18
  Speaker 9: Pip, you have been spending pretty freely of late and
• 23:21
  Speaker 9: are in debt, of course.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid I must say yes, sir.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: You know you must say yes. Yes, sir. Wemmick, have Mr.
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: Pip that piece of paper.
• 23:29
  Speaker 14: Thank you.
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: Tell me what it is, Mr. Pip.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: It's a banknote. A banknote for 500 pounds!
• 23:38
  Speaker 9: And at the rate of that handsome sum per annum,
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: and at no higher rate, you are to live until
• 23:43
  Speaker 9: your benefactor appears.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Um... Will it still be years hence, Mr.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: Jaggers?
• 23:48
  Speaker 14: I cannot answer that.
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: Good afternoon, Mr.
• 23:51
  Speaker 14: Pip.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: It was soon after that Joe Gargery wrote me a letter.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: He was coming to London. Of a sudden, I realized
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: I was ashamed of Joe.
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: In trying to become a gentleman, I had succeeded only
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: in becoming a snob.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: Pip, I.
• 24:13
  Speaker 15: Look, Pip, I've been here all day, sir, and I.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Joe, how can you call me sir?
• 24:19
  Speaker 15: You treated me fine, sir, but, Pip, I don't belong here.
• 24:23
  Speaker 15: I wouldn't have come except Miss Havisham sent me.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Miss Havisham?
• 24:27
  Speaker 15: Would you tell Mr.
• 24:28
  Speaker 16: Pip, she says, that I wish to see him for
• 24:30
  Speaker 16: I've something to disclose to him.
• 24:32
  Speaker 15: Well, I've now concluded, sir, and Pip.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: You're going, Joe?
• 24:37
  Speaker 16: Pip, old chap, you and me's not two figures to
• 24:40
  Speaker 16: be seen together in London.
• 24:42
  Speaker 15: I'm wrong away from.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: It, Forge. You may stay the night if you wish.
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: No, no.
• 24:47
  Speaker 15: God bless you, dear old Pip, old chap. God bless you.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: The next day, I presented myself once again at Havisham House.
• 24:55
  Speaker 9: Pip, come in, Pip.
• 24:58
  Speaker 19: How good to see you.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: How do you do, Miss Havisham?
• 25:01
  Speaker 19: Well, have you no eyes but for me?
• 25:04
  Speaker 12: Look about you.
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: Miss Stella.
• 25:06
  Speaker 13: Good afternoon, Pip.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: What a wonderful surprise and pleasure.
• 25:10
  Speaker 12: You will both have a lot to say to each other.
• 25:13
  Speaker 12: Go out in the garden, both of you.
• 25:22
  Speaker 13: And this is where you had the fight that day
• 25:24
  Speaker 13: with Herbert Pocket. I enjoyed that battle very much.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: You rewarded me very much.
• 25:29
  Speaker 9: Did I?
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Don't you remember?
• 25:31
  Speaker 10: No.
• 25:31
  Speaker 13: No, I don't.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Do you remember the first time I came here? The
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: time you made me cry.
• 25:39
  Speaker 13: I made you cry?
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: You don't remember?
• 25:41
  Speaker 10: You meant nothing to me.
• 25:42
  Speaker 13: Why should I remember? Oh, you must realize, Pip, that
• 25:45
  Speaker 13: I have no heart. Perhaps that's why.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: I have no memory. No one looking at you could
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: believe that, Estella.
• 25:51
  Speaker 13: No sympathy, no feelings. And if we are to be
• 25:53
  Speaker 13: thrown together, you had better believe that at once.
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: I cannot believe it.
• 25:58
  Speaker 13: At any rate, it's said, so don't expect too much
• 26:00
  Speaker 13: of me.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: Come, Pip.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: We'll walk once more around the garden.
• 26:12
  Speaker 19: Is she beautiful, Pip? Graceful?
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: Well-grown?
• 26:15
  Speaker 12: Do you admire Estella, Pip?
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Everyone must who sees her, Miss Havisham.
• 26:21
  Speaker 12: She is going to London soon.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Then I shall be the happiest man there.
• 26:26
  Speaker 12: Love her.
• 26:28
  Speaker 19: If she favors you, love her. If she tears your
• 26:32
  Speaker 19: heart to pieces, love her. I made her to be loved, Pip.
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: I called briefly upon Joe and Biddy and returned to London.
• 26:48
  Speaker 8: A week later, it was my unbounded.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Pleasure to extend my arm to Estella as she stepped
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: off the coach from Surrey. We sat and talked in
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: a nearby coffee house. But what do you mean, Estella?
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: You are not staying in London?
• 27:00
  Speaker 13: I mean that I shall be staying in Richmond.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, praise heaven, only ten miles from here. But why Richmond?
• 27:05
  Speaker 13: Well, I'm going to live at a great expense with
• 27:08
  Speaker 13: a lady there who has the power of showing me
• 27:10
  Speaker 13: to people and people to me.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: You will have a gay time, Estella.
• 27:14
  Speaker 13: Well, it is a part of Miss Havisham's plan for me. Oh,
• 27:17
  Speaker 13: but I cannot take great pleasure, Pip, in events I
• 27:19
  Speaker 13: do not shape. But I will try to be beautiful
• 27:22
  Speaker 13: and gay and obedient.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Will you always be a part of Miss Havisham's plan?
• 27:27
  Speaker 13: And do you thrive with Mr. Pocket, Pip?
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Stella, I asked if you will always be a part.
• 27:30
  Speaker 13: And I asked, do you thrive with Mr.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: Pocket?
• 27:33
  Speaker 14: Well, it's pleasant enough.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: At least it's... Yes? As pleasant as anywhere away from you.
• 27:38
  Speaker 10: Oh!
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: With Estella so near London, I was able to see
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: her often in the months that followed. But I was
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: only one of the many admirers. One winter's night, Estella's
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: patroness gave a ball. You dance beautifully, Pip. I'm sorry
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: now I've promised the poker to Mr.
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: Drummle.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Drummle, he never takes his eyes off you. Look at him.
• 28:06
  Speaker 13: Is there anything about Drummle that I need.
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: To look at?
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: That's a question I've wanted to ask you for weeks,
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: ever since he started hovering over you.
• 28:13
  Speaker 13: All sorts of ugly creatures hover about a lighted candle.
• 28:17
  Speaker 13: Can the candle help him?
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: That makes me wretched, Estella. You give him looks and
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: smiles such as you never give me.
• 28:23
  Speaker 13: Do you want me then to deceive and entrap you?
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Do you deceive and entrap him, Estella? Yes, and many others, Pip.
• 28:30
  Speaker 13: All of them but you.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Late that same night, I went back to London. Herbert
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: had not yet come home. I thought it was his
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: knock that I heard on my door. But when I
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: opened the door, an old man stood before me. His
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: long white hair and his black cloak dripping with rain.
• 28:59
  Speaker 14: Mr.
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: Pip? Hi, Mr.
• 29:01
  Speaker 14: Pip.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: What's your business here?
• 29:03
  Speaker 11: I'd like to sit down first. It's disappointing to a
• 29:07
  Speaker 11: man after having come so far.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you mean, sir.
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: Wait.
• 29:11
  Speaker 14: Is there anyone else about?
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Why do you ask that?
• 29:14
  Speaker 11: Huh?
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: You're a gaiman, Pip.
• 29:16
  Speaker 14: I'm glad you growed up to be a gaiman.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: There's no one here.
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: Look at me. Who am I?
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Well, how do I know who you.
• 29:25
  Speaker 14: The churchyard.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: The convict I gave food to.
• 29:31
  Speaker 14: You acted noble, Pip, and I never forgot it.
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: Never.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: There was no need for you to come here to
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: thank me.
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: I wanted to see you again.
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: If I spoke harshly to you just now, I'm sorry.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: How have you been living?
• 29:47
  Speaker 11: I've been a sheep farmer far away in New South Wales.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: I hope you've done well.
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: I've done wonderful well.
• 29:57
  Speaker 14: Me and a Skype convict. I.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: I'm very glad.
• 30:03
  Speaker 14: I hope to hear you say so, dear boy.
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: You've done well, too, huh? Quite well.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: I've been chosen to succeed as in property.
• 30:14
  Speaker 14: May I ask what property?
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: May I ask whose property?
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know that either.
• 30:21
  Speaker 11: Could I make a guess, I wonder, at your income.
• 30:23
  Speaker 14: Since you've come of age, huh?
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: Psy, 500 pounds? Yes.
• 30:27
  Speaker 11: And your guardian, could it be he's a lawyer, Pip?
• 30:30
  Speaker 11: As to the first letter of that lawyer's name now.
• 30:32
  Speaker 14: Would it be J?
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: How do you know this?
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: As to the employer of that lawyer whose.
• 30:38
  Speaker 14: Name begins with J and might be Jaggers.
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: You!
• 30:42
  Speaker 9: It's you!
• 30:42
  Speaker 11: Aye, dear boy, yes, Pip. It's me what's done it.
• 30:45
  Speaker 11: You give me your hand, Pip. Let me hold it.
• 30:51
  Speaker 11: I swore that time sure as I'd ever escape again
• 30:54
  Speaker 11: and own a guinea, that guinea should go to you.
• 30:58
  Speaker 11: That there-unted dog which you Kept life and got his
• 31:02
  Speaker 11: head so high that he could make a gentleman.
• 31:07
  Speaker 14: And, Pip, you're him. Didn't you ever think it might
• 31:10
  Speaker 14: be me?
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: No, never. No one else.
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: Oh, Miss Havisham, perhaps.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: No one else, dear boy.
• 31:17
  Speaker 14: Single-handed.
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: Your second father, Pip. Me.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: Me.
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: Mr. Pip, is it so early in the day?
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: I must talk to you, Mr.
• 31:34
  Speaker 14: Jaggers. Alone.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: Molly.
• 31:37
  Speaker 16: Yes, sir.
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: Get out. I said get out. Clean up later on.
• 31:41
  Speaker 15: I'll get up.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Who was that woman? I've never seen her here before.
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: She's been here before. For years, Mr. Pip.
• 31:50
  Speaker 14: I once saved her from the hangman. Now she cleans
• 31:52
  Speaker 14: my office.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: Well, Mr.
• 31:55
  Speaker 14: Jaggers.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Last night, I had a caller. I want to assure
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: myself that what I've been told is true.
• 32:04
  Speaker 9: Did you say told or informed? Told would imply verbal communication.
• 32:11
  Speaker 9: You can't have verbal communication with a man, for example,
• 32:14
  Speaker 9: in New South Wales.
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: I will say informed, then. I have been informed by
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: a person named Abel Magwitch... That he is the benefactor
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: so long unknown to me.
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: That is the man in New South Wales.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Well, wherever he is. I've always supposed it was Miss Havisham.
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: Well, have you now? Why?
• 32:37
  Speaker 9: Not a particle of evidence, Pip? Take nothing on supposition.
• 32:41
  Speaker 9: Take everything on evidence.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Well, you have nothing more to say.
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: I will say this.
• 32:46
  Speaker 9: I think you should know that I communicated with Mr.
• 32:48
  Speaker 9: Abel Magwitch in New South Wales. reminding him that if
• 32:52
  Speaker 9: he should ever set foot again in this country, he
• 32:54
  Speaker 9: would be liable to immediate execution. Take a look out
• 32:59
  Speaker 9: that window, Pip. Yonder you'll see the prison yard. What
• 33:04
  Speaker 9: is occurring in the prison yard?
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: Horrible.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: They're preparing to hang.
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: Surely not all those people.
• 33:13
  Speaker 14: Eight, I believe, this morning. Happens every day.
• 33:19
  Speaker 9: Magwitch has enemies here who would not hesitate to inform
• 33:22
  Speaker 9: on an escaped convict. There is a reward for such
• 33:25
  Speaker 9: as want it.
• 33:27
  Speaker 14: I see.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: But no doubt he has guided.
• 33:30
  Speaker 9: Himself by my caution and has remained in New South Wales.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: But if Mr. Magwitch were in this country, he would
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: have to be got out of this country at.
• 33:41
  Speaker 14: Once, would he not? If he were here and anyone
• 33:45
  Speaker 14: cared about him.
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: Yes, at once.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Then what has to be done must be done. Good day, Mr.
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: Jaggers.
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: You'll probably remember when the waves of the North Sea
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: burst through Holland's dikes and turned the little country into
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: a land of terror. It was Western Europe's worst flood disaster.
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: More than 1,400 people were killed and over 60,000 were
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: made homeless. The property loss was greater than that suffered
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: during World War II.
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: But America answered the call from the Dutch people.
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: Within just a few hours, United States Army helicopters were
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: evacuating hundreds from the danger areas. Mercy planes filled with blankets, coats, shoes,
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: and food brought quick relief in the emergency. Among the
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: many who contributed was the 82nd Airborne Division. They remembered
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: the courage and the help displayed by the Dutch people
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: when they parachuted into Holland in 1944. This one unit
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: collected nearly 20,000 pounds of clothing and over $ 12, 000 in
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: cash for relief in the flooded country. Now, there was
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: no official drive behind this operation. It emerged right from
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: the heart, a spontaneous, genuine reaction to a country struck
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: by disaster. It proved once more that in the hour
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: of need, people will reach across borders and oceans to
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: help their fellow men. Such acts by you and your
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: friends today are shaping our world of tomorrow.
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: We pause now for station identification.
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: Music The curtain rises on Act Three of Great Expectations,
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: starring Rock Hudson as Pip and Barbara Rush as Estella.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: At last I had the truth. I knew my benefactor
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: and I knew he was now risking his life only
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: that he might see me. I had but one course
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: to follow. Somehow I must get Abel Magwitch out of
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: England and remain at his side as long as he lived.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: With one man only did I share the secret, Herbert Pocket.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Leaving him to share, Mr. Magwitch, I sought Estella. I
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: found her at Havisham House.
• 36:25
  Speaker 13: We have company, Miss Havisham.
• 36:27
  Speaker 9: Look, Pip.
• 36:29
  Speaker 19: And what brings you here, Mr.
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: Pip?
• 36:32
  Speaker 19: So glumly.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: I have found out who my benefactor is, Miss Havisham.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: I am as unhappy as ever. You could have wished
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: me to be.
• 36:41
  Speaker 19: Well, who is he?
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: That is not for me to say.
• 36:45
  Speaker 15: Well, then.
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: When Mr. Jaggers.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Mr.
• 36:47
  Speaker 19: Jaggers had nothing to do with it.
• 36:49
  Speaker 12: His being my lawyer and the lawyer of your patron
• 36:51
  Speaker 12: is coincidence.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Yet for all this time, you've led me on.
• 36:55
  Speaker 12: Yes, I led you on.
• 36:58
  Speaker 14: Was that kind?
• 36:59
  Speaker 19: Who am I, for heaven's sake, that I should be kind?
• 37:03
  Speaker 8: What little more I have to say is for Estella.
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: I would have spoken sooner, Estella. But I believe that
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: Miss Havisham meant us for one another. I felt I
• 37:12
  Speaker 8: could not tell you my real feelings while you were
• 37:15
  Speaker 8: not free to choose for yourself. But now that I
• 37:18
  Speaker 8: am going away, I can speak. I have loved you, Estella,
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: since I first came into this house.
• 37:26
  Speaker 13: And I have warned you not to love me.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: But you would not be warned. Is it true that
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Bentley Drummle is here in Surrey pursuing you?
• 37:33
  Speaker 19: Quite true.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: And that you encourage him to do so? Quite true.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: You cannot fling yourself at.
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: Such a man.
• 37:38
  Speaker 13: Should I fling myself at you, Pip? Who would sense
• 37:40
  Speaker 13: at once that I can bring nothing to you?
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: But you can't love him, Estella.
• 37:44
  Speaker 13: Well, I am going to marry him. Oh, Pip, don't
• 37:47
  Speaker 13: be afraid of my being a blessing to him. I
• 37:49
  Speaker 13: shall not be that. Here. Here is my hand that
• 37:53
  Speaker 13: has part on that. You'll get me out of your
• 37:56
  Speaker 13: thoughts in a week.
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: Goodbye, Pip.
• 38:00
  Speaker 19: Let her go, Pip. What have I done? What have
• 38:05
  Speaker 19: I done?
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: I had not reached the gate of Havisham House when
• 38:13
  Speaker 8: a frightful scream set me rushing back. I heard a
• 38:15
  Speaker 8: window shatter and saw a sheet of angry flame and
• 38:17
  Speaker 8: the terrified face of Miss Havisham as the fire enveloped her.
• 38:20
  Speaker 8: I dashed to the room and carried her out and
• 38:22
  Speaker 8: went back a second time to smother the flames. A
• 38:24
  Speaker 8: falling candle must have started the fire. But Miss Havisham
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: could not say.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Miss Havisham was dead. When I returned to London, I
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: was summoned immediately by Mr.
• 38:34
  Speaker 14: Jaggers.
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: I had you come to my house for good reason, Mr. Pip.
• 38:38
  Speaker 14: How do things fare at Barnard's Inn?
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Why do you ask?
• 38:41
  Speaker 9: Because I have just got word that an old enemy
• 38:43
  Speaker 9: of a certain convict knows of his presence here in London.
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: I have been watched.
• 38:49
  Speaker 9: I also heard that you are being watched. I? And
• 38:51
  Speaker 9: might be watched again. So I advised a certain Mr.
• 38:55
  Speaker 9: Herbert Pocket to get a certain individual out of the.
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: Way while you were out of the way.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Where are they?
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: I shall take you there tonight.
• 39:06
  Speaker 8: That night I joined them, Mr. Magwitch and our faithful
• 39:09
  Speaker 8: friend Herbert Pocket. They were near Gravesend, hiding away in
• 39:12
  Speaker 8: an obscure lodging house on the Thames River. It was
• 39:15
  Speaker 8: here that we planned our escape.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: Twice a week, a packet boat left Gravesend Pier and
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: crossed the Channel into France. If someone was watching this,
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: he'd be at that pier. We had to find some
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: other way of boarding the packet boat. Far down the
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: river was a boy. Here we had a boat could
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: always stop to drop the river pilot and on occasion
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: to take on more passengers. That was where we would
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: have to go aboard.
• 39:37
  Speaker 8: Daily, Herbert and I went rowing in the river, becoming
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: familiar figures to any who might.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Otherwise suspect us. At last came the day we had
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: waited for. But with it, stormy winds and heavy rain....
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: Six o'clock. Still have time if the storm let up.
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: How does it look from the window, Pip?
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: Black as ever. The river's too rough. That seed swamped
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: us before we could.
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: What is it, boy? On the beach.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Two men on horseback. They're looking at this house. They're
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: taking notes. No, no, stay where you are.
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: Police?
• 40:08
  Speaker 14: I can't say.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: I think so.
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: Wait!
• 40:10
  Speaker 14: They're going now.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: They're walking their horses.
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: This way?
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: No, toward town. They can't be too sure of themselves
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: if they'd go at a gallop. Storm or no storm,
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: get ready, sir. We're rowing out this morning.
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: Hurry the storm, stop, Pip.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Our luck's with us. Once we locate the buoy, we'll
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: be all right.
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: Row, Pip. Right oar, man, right oar.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Tell me something, Mr.
• 40:38
  Speaker 14: Magwitch.
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: What, dear boy?
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: What I did for you as a child was such
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: a small matter. Why have you done so much for me?
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: I had a child of my own once, Pip.
• 40:48
  Speaker 14: A little girl. Who I loved and lost.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: What happened to her?
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: I don't know. But when on those lone shivering.
• 40:56
  Speaker 11: Marshes a boy was going to a half-starved convict, that
• 41:00
  Speaker 11: boy took the.
• 41:01
  Speaker 14: Place of a child he'd lost.
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: There's the boy, Pip.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: Straight ahead.
• 41:05
  Speaker 14: We've made it.
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: There's another boat already there. A dory.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: Hold your oars, Herbert.
• 41:11
  Speaker 10: Who could it be?
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: We'll not wait to find out. Swing around.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: Don't answer. Who is that in the name of the king?
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: Chip, they're coming after us.
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: You have an escape from me, sir.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: I call upon him to surrender and you to assist.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: We'll head for the fog bank, Herbert. We can still
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: lose them.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: Stop in the name of the king. Stop.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: There were four men at the oars of the dory.
• 41:43
  Speaker 8: It was just a matter of time before they'd be
• 41:44
  Speaker 8: upon us. Then, through the fog, we heard the engines
• 41:47
  Speaker 8: of the packet boat. It was bearing straight down upon us.
• 41:50
  Speaker 8: There was one desperate.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: Chance to take.
• 41:51
  Speaker 8: It rose straight for the steamer in the Hope Harbor sewers,
• 41:54
  Speaker 8: fearful of being run down with rust their oars. But
• 41:56
  Speaker 8: if they too heard the ship, it deterred.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: Them not one instant.
• 41:59
  Speaker 8: They were not ten feet from it when the packet
• 42:01
  Speaker 8: boat leaped from the mist and crushed us both to splitters.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: The next I knew, we were aboard the steamer.
• 42:15
  Speaker 14: Mr.
• 42:15
  Speaker 8: Magwitch was lying on the deck, his wrists once again
• 42:18
  Speaker 8: bound by chains.
• 42:21
  Speaker 11: They're taking us back, Pip.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: I'll never forgive myself for this.
• 42:27
  Speaker 14: I'm all right.
• 42:29
  Speaker 11: I'm content to have seen my boy and took my chance.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: Jaggers will help you, sir.
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: Don't worry.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: Jaggers will get you off all right.
• 42:46
  Speaker 9: The prisoner at the bar will stand and come forward.
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: Mr. Jaggers.
• 42:52
  Speaker 14: The law is the law, Mr.
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: Pip.
• 42:55
  Speaker 14: We have been defeated.
• 42:57
  Speaker 17: Abel Magwitch, the sentence of the court is that you
• 43:01
  Speaker 17: shall be taken hence to the place of execution, and
• 43:04
  Speaker 17: there hanged by the neck until you are dead.
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: No!
• 43:17
  Speaker 14: I've just come from the warden, Pip. He'll be hanged
• 43:21
  Speaker 14: day after tomorrow.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: There's nothing we can do?
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: Nothing.
• 43:26
  Speaker 14: But he may cheat the hangman yet. The old man
• 43:30
  Speaker 14: is quite ill, Pip.
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 43:32
  Speaker 9: You realize, of course, that you will no longer inherit
• 43:37
  Speaker 9: his fortune. That becomes the claim.
• 43:39
  Speaker 14: Of the crown.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: The money is no interest to me.
• 43:42
  Speaker 14: If you had been a blood relation, it might have
• 43:44
  Speaker 14: been different.
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: But It is not different.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: You mean, if he had a child, the money might
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: go to the child?
• 43:51
  Speaker 14: The money might go to the child.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: There was a child, Mr.
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: Jaggers.
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: I know there was. And what is more, you know
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: it too.
• 44:01
  Speaker 5: Pip, sit down.
• 44:05
  Speaker 9: I'm going to put a case to you. Put the
• 44:08
  Speaker 9: case that a woman is charged with a murder. Put
• 44:12
  Speaker 9: the case that this woman has a child whose father
• 44:14
  Speaker 9: is a convict.
• 44:15
  Speaker 14: Go on.
• 44:16
  Speaker 9: Now put the case that this woman's legal advisor knows
• 44:19
  Speaker 9: an eccentric and very rich lady who is about to
• 44:22
  Speaker 9: adopt a little girl.
• 44:24
  Speaker 14: You understand, Mr.
• 44:25
  Speaker 5: Pip? No admissions, but.
• 44:27
  Speaker 14: Do you understand?
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: I understand, but I can hardly believe it.
• 44:32
  Speaker 14: Ring that bell. Observe who comes in.
• 44:37
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
• 44:38
  Speaker 9: Some fresh water in the basin, Molly. I shall wash
• 44:41
  Speaker 9: before dining.
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir. Well, Pip?
• 44:46
  Speaker 14: Would you hazard a statement?
• 44:48
  Speaker 8: If I am in my right mind, if that woman
• 44:51
  Speaker 8: you call Molly is Estella's mother, then this legal advisor
• 44:55
  Speaker 8: you mention will have a lot to answer for.
• 44:57
  Speaker 9: Now, put the case of this legal advisor, who has
• 45:03
  Speaker 9: often seen children tried at the criminal bar. Put the
• 45:07
  Speaker 9: case that he's known them to be habitually imprisoned, whipped
• 45:10
  Speaker 9: and cast out, qualified in all.
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: Ways for the hangman and growing up to be hanged.
• 45:16
  Speaker 9: Put the case that here was one pretty little child
• 45:20
  Speaker 9: out of all that miserable heap that could be saved.
• 45:25
  Speaker 14: Put that last case to yourself very carefully.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: I do, Mr.
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: Jaggers.
• 45:30
  Speaker 14: Did the legal advisor do right?
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: He did right.
• 45:35
  Speaker 14: Does Estella know? You mean, does the little girl know? No,
• 45:40
  Speaker 14: she does not know.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: She must never be told.
• 45:44
  Speaker 9: As to her claim to her father's property, the legal
• 45:46
  Speaker 9: advisor must use his own judgment, which he is in
• 45:49
  Speaker 9: the process of arriving at and will, in due course
• 45:52
  Speaker 9: of time, use.
• 45:53
  Speaker 14: Meanwhile, you will find the child's father in the prison infirmary.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: What?
• 46:08
  Speaker 14: Oh, dear boy. I thought you wasn't coming.
• 46:11
  Speaker 11: Yet somehow I knew that you would.
• 46:17
  Speaker 8: I've been waiting permission from the warden.
• 46:19
  Speaker 14: Oh, God bless you, Peter. You've never deserted me.
• 46:25
  Speaker 11: What's best of all, you've been more comfort to me
• 46:28
  Speaker 11: since I was under this dark cloud and when the
• 46:31
  Speaker 11: sun shone.
• 46:34
  Speaker 14: That's best of all.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: Are you in pain, sir?
• 46:40
  Speaker 14: I don't complain of none, dear boy.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: I have something to say to you. Can you understand me? I.
• 46:51
  Speaker 14: I.
• 46:53
  Speaker 8: You had a child once whom you loved and lost.
• 46:58
  Speaker 14: She lived, sir. What?
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: She is a lady now and very beautiful. And I
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: love her. Mr.
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: Magwitch.
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: Magwitch. Be merciful to him, O Lord.
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: Be merciful.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: Be merciful. Abel Magwitch died in my arms. I remember
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: walking back to Mr.
• 47:40
  Speaker 8: Jagger's office and suddenly finding the room spinning before my
• 47:44
  Speaker 8: eyes and my legs turning to water. When my senses returned,
• 47:49
  Speaker 8: I was in my boyhood room and Joe Gargery was
• 47:51
  Speaker 8: smiling over me.
• 47:53
  Speaker 15: You're better, Pip. Your fever's gone, old chap.
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: Joe.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: It is Joe.
• 48:00
  Speaker 15: Which it are, old chap?
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: I'm in your house, Joe.
• 48:05
  Speaker 15: Three weeks and more, Pip, and almost dead.
• 48:07
  Speaker 16: We brought you home, dear old Pip, old chap Biddy
• 48:10
  Speaker 16: and me.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: After the way I turned from you. You break my heart, Joe.
• 48:16
  Speaker 15: Ever the best of friends, Pip. Come what may. Soon
• 48:19
  Speaker 15: you'll be well again, and then coo what larks, eh?
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: Biddy.
• 48:24
  Speaker 9: Right here, Pip, dear.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: You have the best husband in the world, Biddy. And Joe,
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: the best wife.
• 48:33
  Speaker 15: Which I know, Pip, old chap, which I know.
• 48:36
  Speaker 13: One day you'll marry too, Pip.
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: No, Biddy.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 48:41
  Speaker 12: You still fret for her, Estella?
• 48:45
  Speaker 14: I think of her.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: But that poor dream has all gone by. Has all
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: gone by. I knew as I said these words.
• 49:01
  Speaker 8: that I intended to visit the great old house, the
• 49:03
  Speaker 8: first day I could get on my feet.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: And that day came, and I walked through the dark corridors.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: They were filled with echoes of years gone by.
• 49:13
  Speaker 12: What name?
• 49:14
  Speaker 15: Prumblechook.
• 49:16
  Speaker 10: Quite right.
• 49:17
  Speaker 12: Sometimes I have sick fancies.
• 49:20
  Speaker 19: I would like to see someone play.
• 49:21
  Speaker 10: Don't, loiter boy.
• 49:23
  Speaker 19: You can break his heart.
• 49:25
  Speaker 10: Of course, common laboring boy. I hate you. I hate you.
• 49:35
  Speaker 8: I opened the door of Miss Havisham's room. For one
• 49:38
  Speaker 8: frantic moment, I thought I saw her there. Miss Havisham
• 49:41
  Speaker 8: sitting in her chair.
• 49:42
  Speaker 15: Come in, Pip.
• 49:43
  Speaker 5: Stella.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: Stella. I thought you were in Paris with your husband.
• 49:49
  Speaker 19: I have no husband, Pip.
• 49:51
  Speaker 13: Haven't you heard?
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: I've been ill, Stella. I've heard nothing.
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: When Mr.
• 49:55
  Speaker 13: Jaggers disclosed to Bentley Dremel who my parents were, he
• 49:59
  Speaker 13: no longer wished to have me for a wife. Well, Pip,
• 50:04
  Speaker 13: why don't you laugh? You have every right.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: I have no wish to laugh, Estella.
• 50:08
  Speaker 13: Oh, you've no need to pity me. This house is
• 50:10
  Speaker 13: mine now. And I shall live here, away from the
• 50:14
  Speaker 13: world and all its complications.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: Estella, how long have you been here? I.
• 50:21
  Speaker 13: I don't know.
• 50:22
  Speaker 14: You must leave this house.
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: It's a dead house. Nothing can live here, Estella.
• 50:28
  Speaker 13: This is the house where I grew up.
• 50:30
  Speaker 10: It's part of me.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: It's my home. It was Miss Havisham's home. But she's gone.
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: Gone from both of us.
• 50:35
  Speaker 13: No, she is not gone.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: She is still here, in this very room. Then I
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: defy her.
• 50:41
  Speaker 5: I have come back, Miss Havisham.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: I have come back to let the sunlight in.
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: Oh, Pip.
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: I shall open the drapes, Miss Havisham.
• 50:48
  Speaker 9: I shall rip down the drapes. There is sunshine in
• 50:59
  Speaker 9: your house again, Miss Havisham.
• 51:01
  Speaker 8: The sunlight is streaming through.
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, Pip.
• 51:06
  Speaker 12: Oh, Estella.
• 51:08
  Speaker 14: Oh, my darling.
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, Ben. I'm afraid.
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: Look at me.
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: We will start again, Estella.
• 51:20
  Speaker 14: Together.
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: Come with me, Estella. Out into the sunlight.
• 51:48
  Speaker 5: In a moment, our stars will return.
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: There's a thought for you to keep in mind, as
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: many another American has. There's hardly a home in Western Germany,
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: for instance, which doesn't reflect the influence of Ellen McCloy,
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: wife of our former High Commissioner to Germany.
• 52:04
  Speaker 5: When Mrs.
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: McCloy arrived in Germany in 1949, she decided to be
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: more than just the wife of the High Commissioner. There
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: were nearly 10 million outcasts in the western area, refugees
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: from the occupied countries, bewildered people who needed.
• 52:18
  Speaker 5: Guidance and encouragement. Mrs.
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: McCloy knew that big problems can be solved from small beginnings,
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: so she bought a few sewing machines and opened a
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: sewing room where the women could make warm winter clothing
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: for their families. Well, the sewing room was an immediate success.
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: As they sewed, the women discussed common interests, found new friends.
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: Within a year, 30 more sewing rooms were begun in
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: the United States zone. Early in 1950, Mrs. McCloy began
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: a series of visits which took her into every town
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: in the U.S.
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: Zone, as well as the French and British areas. She
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: spoke to the women, told.
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: Them how American women lived and how they became good citizens.
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: She spoke honestly with German housewives and pulled them out
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: of the depths of self-pity by.
• 53:02
  Speaker 5: Showing them the meaning of neighborliness.
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: Well, these are but a few examples of what she
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: did to help those who needed help. During her three-year
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: stay in Germany, Mrs. McCloy did much to assure the
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: future of German democracy. As one German housewife put it,
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: for us Germans, Frau McCloy is better even than the
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: Marshall Plan. Yes, Ellen McCloy had proved that by helping others,
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: you help your country.
• 53:28
  Speaker 5: Now, here's Mr. Cummings with our stars.
• 53:30
