:20:15
What is this?
:20:17
What is happening?
:20:19
Mr. Chipping?!
:20:24
I'm... I'm sorry, sir. I'm afraid l...
:20:30
It is just 18 years ago this term...
:20:33
...since I had occasion to cane
the entire lower school.
:20:38
The young gentlemen of that day
came honestly by their punishment.
:20:42
I think I can say the same for you.
:20:44
You will present yourselves
at my study tomorrow...
:20:47
...in alphabetical order at intervals
of three minutes starting at 3:00.
:20:51
I believe I can promise you
that I have lost none of my vigor.
:20:58
- I think you better see me after prayers.
- Yes, sir.
:21:05
Our profession is not
an easy one, Mr. Chipping.
:21:07
It calls for something more
than a university degree.
:21:10
Our business is to mold men.
It demands character and courage.
:21:15
Above all, it demands the ability
to exercise authority.
:21:19
Without that, I think any young man
should ask himself seriously...
:21:23
...if he has not perhaps
mistaken his vocation.
:21:27
- No, sir...
- When a man is young, Mr. Chipping...
:21:29
...there are many
walks of life open to him.
:21:32
I hope you don't mean
that I should resign.
:21:34
I should be very reluctant
to do that, sir.
:21:37
It means everything to me to come
to Brookfield. I'll get on.
:21:41
- Please give me the chance to prove it, sir.
- I am willing to forget the incident...
:21:45
...but will those boys forget it?
You're going to have to face them again.
:21:49
That'll take courage. Moral courage.
:21:53
- However, if you care to make the trial...
- Thank you, sir.
:21:57
- I shall watch your progress with interest.
- Thank you, sir. I'm deeply grateful to you.
