1:18:01
- Come in, Mr. Chipping.
- Thank you.
1:18:02
- Sit down.
- Oh, thanks.
1:18:06
Have you ever thought
you would like to retire?
1:18:09
No, I've never thought about it.
1:18:11
The suggestion's there for you
to consider.
1:18:14
The governors would grant you
an adequate pension.
1:18:17
I don't want to retire.
I've no need to consider it.
1:18:21
In that case,
things will be a little difficult.
1:18:23
Why difficult?
1:18:26
- Do you want me to be quite blunt?
- Oh, yes, of course.
1:18:29
Look at that gown you're wearing.
It's a subject of amusement to the school.
1:18:33
I told you I wanted the new style
of Latin pronunciation taught...
1:18:37
...and you totally ignored it.
- Oh, that. Nonsense, in my opinion.
1:18:41
What's the good of teaching boys to say
"Kikero" when they'll still say Cicero?
1:18:46
Instead of vicissim,
you'd make them say "wekissem."
1:18:50
I'm trying to make Brookfield
an up-to-date school...
1:18:53
...and you insist on clinging to the past.
1:18:56
- The world's changing.
- I know the world's changing, Dr. Ralston.
1:19:01
I've seen the old traditions
dying one by one.
1:19:05
Grace, dignity, feeling for the past.
1:19:08
All that matters today
is a fat banking account.
1:19:11
You're trying to run the school
like a factory...
1:19:13
...for turning out moneymaking snobs!
1:19:16
You've raised the fees, and the boys
who really belong have been frozen out.
1:19:22
Modern methods, intensive training,
poppycock!
1:19:26
Give a boy a sense of humor and
proportion, and he'll stand up to anything.
1:19:30
I'm not going to retire.
You can do what you like about it.
1:19:39
He told Chips he's got to retire.
1:19:41
- Chips said he wouldn't.
- I should think not.
1:19:43
He's been here hundreds of years.
He used to cane my father.
1:19:46
If Chips went,
the school would fall down.
1:19:49
- I never heard such rot.
- What's the rumpus?
1:19:51
Ralston wants to kick Chips out.
Says he's got to retire.
1:19:55
What? Get rid of Chips?
He just better try.
1:19:58
If he says another word to Chips,
I'll kill him.
