- Maybe she did - maybe she didn't.
We'd oughta do somethin' about it.
- You're dead right, we'd oughta!
But we gotta get the proper advice.
- Chee, I wisht I knew Alderman Moiphy.
I know Alderman Moiphy.
Ya do? - Yeah, come along,
let's go right now!
Them earls! They've always had a spite
against us Americans ever since the revolution!
What a place! What a hole!
I'm sick to death of it!
Cooped up here week in and week out
with nobody to talk to!
You're complimentary!
- I wasn't meaning to be! - I'm grateful.
You're getting your money, aren't you?
- Business is business, you know.
Business! I'm sick of business! I want
some fun! - Why don't you go to London?
London? Not on your tintype!
Nothing would please that old devil at
the castle better than to see me clear out.
Well, I'll stay here... here in this
rotten country pub if I...
You've lived in worse places, I've no
doubt! - That's none of your business!
You keep a civil tongue or I'll hand you
your walking papers! - I wouldn't.
What do you mean? - Just what I said.
I wouldn't try anything like that, Minna.
I'm Lady Fauntleroy, to you!
- Ha, ha.
Come in!
Why, it's Lord Dorincourt!
Why, this is a pleasure, a real
pleasure, I'm sure. Won't you take a...
Hello, Minna.
Why, hello, Dick.
Why, Ben. What are you doing here?
Where have you been all this time?
You knew her? - Funny, if he didn't...
seein' how he was my second husband.
Where is the child? - What child?
- You know, our boy, Tom.
Oh, Ben, but you know...
You must have heard...
Someone must have told you.
- Told me what?
It was pneumonia. Only three days
and he was gone. It broke my heart.
I meant to write.
I didn't know where you were.
If that's true, who is this
boy you've got with you?
That's none of your business, Ben Tipton!
Can I see him? - You can't! - Tell us why
Mr. Tipton should not see your boy?
Oh, hello, Uncle Dick.
Well, I'll be jiggered!
Mom, honest, I'm sorry...
- Shut up!
You're a dirty pair, comin' to spy on me!
Tryin' to do me hurt!
I'll have the law on ya
for houndin' me, you... you... you...
Silence!
Come here, Tom.
I knew nothing, my lord, I assure you!
There's a little matter of a forged birth
certificate. - But I swear to you!
Never mind, Havisham.
I've had enough of this - too much!
The sooner you are out
of this country, the better!
Come on, Havisham. - You'll be sorry - you will!
It's prosecution, that's what it is - it's robbery!
The Earl of Dorincourt and Ceddie requests
the pleasure of Mr. Silas Hobbs company
on the eleventh of May at
8 p.m. at Dorincourt Castle
of the occasion of the tenth birthday
of his grandson Lord Fauntleroy.
This will be somewhat in the manner
of a museum, my lord?
Not exactly a museum, Mr. Hobbs.
They are portraits of my ancestors.
Your aunt's sisters!["ancestors"] All of them?
Well, I'll be jiggered! Your great-uncle,
he must have had a family!
Did he raise 'em all?
Ah, you mean that they were early
distinguished members of the family.
Do you know, earl, I used to have a very
poor opinion of your aristocracy,
but I've changed. Take you, for instance,
you're a good sort, even if you are an earl!
I'm very gratified.
A bit gay, wasn't he? - Yes, that's why
I have the gout, Mr. Hobbs.
Oh!
And they was all earls! And Ceddie's
goin' to be one and own all this!
And he'll be worthy of it, Mr. Hobbs.
- Sure he will.
All these earls!
Do you know, I wouldn't have
minded bein' one myself! - Hmm!
Speech! Speech! Speech!
Speech! Speech!
Thank you very much.
It's such a lovely day. I always like having
birthdays, but never one so much as this,
because you're all so kind to me.
My grandfather wants everybody to be
happy and comfortable
and I'll want it too when I'm grown up.
I think that's all, because I'm not very
good of making speeches.
But I must say that I'm very much obliged
to you for liking my birthday.
Ripping little nipper!
- Ain't he a daisy?
I'll bet you boids elect him king some day!
I didn't know the little feller
could talk so good.
Alderman Murphy - by Jove.
Ugh, well, I'll be jiggered!
And I've another birthday present for you.
Another one, besides all the things this
morning? - Yes, the best of them all.
Oh, Dearest!
Oh, Dearest!
Oh, Dearest, I was wanting you here!
I was wanting you here so terribly much!
Were you, darling?
Fauntleroy, your mother has
come to live in the castle.
To live with us, to live with us for always?
- Are you sure you really want me?
We always wanted you, but we
weren't exactly aware of it.
Well, Mr. Hobbs, it's so nice
having you here with us.
going back to America.
Not to live there!
America's a good enough country for
them that's young and stirrin',
but there's faults in it! There's not an
aunt's sister among 'em, nor an earl!
