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?

(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 you re grateful to me it wasn t necessary to come here to thank me... Magwitch: I thought you d like to be my friend.

2 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: I m 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 can t 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. I m your second father. Didn t you ever think it could be me who was sending the money? Pip: Oh, no no no no, never never. Wasn t anyone else involved at all? Magwitch: No, just me and Jaggers. I promise myself I d come back to England and see my boy (mano en el hombro). You have to protect me because if they discover me I d be hang. (Magwitch se va) Pip: (sorprendido). I believe something that it wasn t true.

Herbert: You mean you can t accept of his money? Pip: He is a criminal; I can t accept this money, because I don t know where the money came from. Chapter 14 Pip: I ve discovered who has been paying for my education. Miss Havisham: Go on. (interesada). Pip: I thought it was you Miss Havisham.

4 Miss Havisham: Why should I be kind to anybody after all I have suffered? (angry). Pip: Yes, you are right. Miss Havisham: Why shouldn t I? Pip: But, Mathew Pocket and his son are different. They are good people. Miss Havisham: Why do you want for them? Pip: I m asking for money I d like you to help my friend Herbert become a partner in his company. I help him in secret with money but now I find I can t continue the payment. (Pip to Estella) Pip: You know I love you Estella. I know I have no hope of ever marrying you. Estella: What you say doesn t touch my heart, I can t love you as you do and I have warned you of this. Haven t I? Pip: Yes, but I couldn t believed it. Estella: It s the way I have been brought up. Pip: Estella, Bently Drummle is in the town here. You go riding with him don t go? Is he having with you tonight? Estella: It is all true. (sorprendida). Estella: I m going to marry him. Pip: (cubre cara triste). Don t marry him. He is a bad boy. Estella: I can t marry a man who expects me to love him so Drummle is the one I chose. Pip: Never Estella, you are part of me. Bless you, and good forgive you. (Casa Pip) Herbert: If you want to pay back what you owe him, you could always join my company clarrikers. Another thing: He come with a fixed idea, if you destroy it, his life would be worthless. Pip: But if they arrest Magwitch and hang him I would feel guilty for ever.

5 Herbert: First we mus get him out of England where he risks death every moment. I ll 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. He s 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 Compeyson s house and was very ill. In fact he was dying. He and Compeyson s 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 Compeyson s 7 years in the prison-ship and they give me 14 years in the prison-ship. I promise myself I d smack his handsome face when I saw him on the prison-ship. Pip: Is Compeyson dead? Magwitch: Heard me more of him. Magwitch: I m going to the bathroom. Herbert: Miss Havisham s half-brother was Arthur. Compeyson is the man who pretended to be in love with her. (Pip was is shock)
