Mr. Pip:
[spontaneously appearing behind Rocky]
Yes, Mr. Valentine, what can I do for you? Henry Francis 'Rocky' Valentine: [in a fit] Will you stop creeping around? Mr. Pip: Anything you say, sir. Henry Francis 'Rocky' Valentine: "Anything I say, anything I say." Knock it off, will you! Mr. Pip: Why? Is something wrong? Henry Francis 'Rocky' Valentine: No, no, nothing's wrong; everything is just peachy! Look, I've been in this dump for a month and I can't stand it anymore! Mr. Pip: But I don't understand. Henry Francis 'Rocky' Valentine: Alright, I'll spell it out for you, Fats. I'm bored! *Bored*! I mean, there's no excitement around here, no kicks! Mr. Pip: Yeah, but the gambling, I thought you enjoyed that! Henry Francis 'Rocky' Valentine: I do! But when you win *every* time, that ain't gambling, that's charity! See more » |
