GREAT EXPECTATIONS

Chapter 12

Scene 1 (Estellas house)

Pip: Estella, why do you encourage someone like Drummle? You know he is a bad man.

Estella: Dont be stupid, Pip.

Pip: But he isnt worth it! (He said angrily)

Estella: If I smile at him it is because it means nothing to me. You should be glad that I

always honest with you.

Scene 2 (Pips hose)

Pip: (reading, cierra el libro) Oh! If I miss my friend Herbert. Oh! What is that noise (con su

lampara sale a mirar). Who is there?

(Magwitch brazos abiertos)

Pip: Can I help you? (dudoso, frio y educadamente)

Magwitch: Ah yes (drapping his hands). I will explain.

(Caminar hasta la pieza de Pip)

Magwitch: (trata de abrazar a Pip)

(Pip no acepta)

Magwitch: Is there anybody near who can hear us?

Pip: Why do you ask that question? Oh! (sorprendido). You are my convict! (dar mano y le

da un beso)

Magwitch: You help me all those years, Pip, never forgotten it. (dar abrazo)

Pip: (no lo deja). If youre grateful to me it wasnt necessary to come here to thank me...

Magwitch: I thought youd like to be my friend.

Pip: But now our lives are separate.

Pip: Will you have a drink before you live? (dando vaso)

Pip: Good luck in the future. Who have you live recently?

Magwitch: I was sent to Australia because I escaped from the prison-ship. After several

years I finished my punishment and so I was allowed to work for myself. It was a hard life

but I made a lot of money.

Pip: Im glad to hear it.

Magwitch: How you have done so well since you and I met on those lonely marshes?

Pip: (nervioso). I have been chosen to inherit a fortune.

Magwitch: Perhaps I can guess how much. Could it be well 5 hundreds a year?

Pip: (nervioso). The agent who arrange it all, was perhaps a lawyer named of Jaggers.

Pip: (sorprendido). I cant believe it.

Magwitch: Yes Pip dear boy, I have made a gentleman of you. All the money that I earned

in Australia should go to you. Im your second father.

Didnt you ever think it could be me who was sending the money?

Pip: Oh, no no no no, never never. Wasnt anyone else involved at all?

Magwitch: No, just me and Jaggers. I promise myself Id come back to England and see my

boy (mano en el hombro). You have to protect me because if they discover me Id be

hang.

(Magwitch se va)

Pip: (sorprendido). I believe something that it wasnt true.

Estella: It is all true. (sorprendida).

Estella: Im going to marry him.

Pip: (cubre cara triste). Dont marry him. He is a bad boy.

Herbert: First we mus get him out of England where he risks death every moment. Ill help

you all the way, trust me. (se dan la mano).

(Pip agradecido)

Scene 5

Pip and Herbert: Magwitch, tell us your past life.

Magwitch: I met Compeyson 20 years ago. Hes the man I was fighting when the soldiers

found me on the marshes. He was handsome and educated; I was a partner in his

business, and a dirty business it was too. We persuaded rich people to invest their money

with us. He always got the profits but never blame.

His former partner Arthur lived in Compeysons house and was very ill. In fact he was

dying.

He and Compeysons got a lot of money out of a rich lady, some years before.

(After Arthur die, he said that the woman wants revenge)

In the end we both were arrested for several crimes. And the trial he lied and lied, so they

only give give Compeysons 7 years in the prison-ship and they give me 14 years in the

prison-ship.

I promise myself Id smack his handsome face when I saw him on the prison-ship.

Pip: Is Compeyson dead?

Magwitch: Heard me more of him.

Magwitch: Im going to the bathroom.

Herbert: Miss Havishams half-brother was Arthur. Compeyson is the man who pretended

to be in love with her.

(Pip was is shock)
