David Copperfield

Although what gowans are, I'm not exactly aware; however, we'll take a pull at them just...

Mr. Micawber:
What is it? Come, little friend, open your heart. David Copperfield as a child:
It's only... that I shall miss you so very much; at Murdstone & Grinby I feel so alone and desperate, I do indeed. You've been so good to me, you and Mrs. Micawber, and as long as I had such friends, I couldn't despair. Mr. Micawber:
My little friend, you're like one of our own. David Copperfield as a child:
[tearfully]
But now that you are going and there will be nobody, why I don't know what I shall do, indeed I do not. Mr. Micawber:
My motto has always been "nil desperandum": in short, never despair. David Copperfield as a child:
I have an aunt in Dover, I thought perhaps I... Mr. Micawber:
The very thing, my dear Copperfield; your aunt will welcome you with open arms. David Copperfield as a child:
She may not want to see me. Mr. Micawber:
Is not blood thicker than water? David Copperfield as a child:
But Peggotty told me she's very cantankerous, and perhaps she'd shut me out, and Dover's a long way. Mr. Micawber:
True, too true; nevertheless, as the Bard says: "Nothing attempted, nothing gained." And should this formidable aunt repulse you, write me a letter. We are friends for life, young Copperfield. Mr. Micawber:
[sings]
We two have run around the braes, Mr. Micawber, David Copperfield as a child:
And pulled the gowans fine, David Copperfield as a child:
And... [David and Mr. Micawber stop singing] Mr. Micawber:
Although what gowans are, I'm not exactly aware; however, we'll take a pull at them just the same
