Quotes
-
Matthew Pocket : I owe you an apology, Compeyson.
Meriwether Compeyson : For what?
Matthew Pocket : Miss Havisham. She's very dear to me. She's also an extremely wealthy young woman and there are certain men who'd take advantage of that fact.
Meriwether Compeyson : You think I'm such a man?
Matthew Pocket : I had to be certain of your motives. That's why I came to see you.
[Arthur Havisham looks nervous]
Meriwether Compeyson : And do you trust me now?
Matthew Pocket : I'm relieved to say... yes, I do.
Meriwether Compeyson : Then you're a fool, Pocket.
Matthew Pocket : Sorry?
Meriwether Compeyson : Of course I intend to seduce Miss Havisham and steal her entire fortune. Every last penny of it.
[Pocket stares at him incredulously before gradually breaking into laughter, joined by Compeyson]
Matthew Pocket : [chuckling] You had me there, Compeyson!
Meriwether Compeyson : Hook, line and sinker!
[he laughs]
