♪ ♪ SOPHIA: What is your name?

Tom Jones.

♪ ♪ Your mother did you a favor you can never repay when she left you in his care.

BLIFIL: Your birth condemns you.

You don’t want to be giving your heart to a bad boy.

He doesn’t seem at all bad to me.

AUNT WESTERN: She must be married without delay.

There must be someone who will take her.

Will you be the first to congratulate me on my marriage?

She doesn’t want you.

WESTERN: Send him over with a proposal and we’ll have a wedding by Michaelmas.

(chuckles) I’m sure my bosom’s never heaved in its life, Aunt.

I do most sincerely approve of your heart’s choice, by the way.

My… …heart’s choice… Mm-hmm?

…can never be Mr. Blifil.

Hm… AUNT WESTERN: I will never let you disgrace your poor dead father’s name by attaching yourself to a bastard.

WESTERN: Sophy?!

Where are you, love?

Don’t you want me to be happy?

I want you to be rich and safe.

SOPHIA: And so my aunt and my grandfather insist upon Mr. William Blifil.

What a waste of his time, and mine.

I don’t even think he loves me.

He just hates Tom Jones.

♪ ♪ (birds chirping) ♪ ♪ (sniffs) (exhales) (clears throat) A charming morning, Miss Western.

Charming.

Mm.

(breath trembles) (bird cawing) As, as, uh… (stammering): …charming as your own dear person.

A person that, that I shall be most… …gratified to get to know better when we are united in matrimony.

Which, uh, happy event cannot come too soon.

Will you excuse me?

Mm.

(door opens and closes) TOM: Yeah, I do know my place.

And I do know Miss Western is far above me in every way.

But, Father, I confess to you that I love her with all my heart.

Oh, she’s promised to a good young man, who all his life has treated you with the honor and, and tenderness of a brother.

Well, I believe she loves me.

You know, I believe she will not consent to marry Blifil.

Squire Western assures me she has consented already.

The decision is made.

She will be Mrs. Blifil, and, uh, you must learn to see her as a sister.

(wildlife chittering) (men talking in distance) ♪ ♪ WESTERN: Frightened, I know.

Your grandmother was the same.

Whimpering at the thought of her wedding night.

But when it was all over, she said it weren’t that bad.

Now, dry those eyes, Sophy, for you well know, your happiness is all I care for in the world.

Then show mercy, Grandfather, for I cannot live with Mr. Blifil.

But you’re in love with him!

Your own aunt told me so.

She is wrong!

Wrong?

How can she be wrong?

She is your elder and your better, miss!

Well, I do not consent to this match.

Enough!

You silly girl.

Come on, dogs.

Fanny, come on.

Your grandfather sent me.

(crying): Oh, no, I look awful.

No.

You look beautiful.

♪ ♪ (chuckles) The lace was white when I gave it to you.

It’s been in my pocket ever since.

I can’t bear to be parted from it.

Wait, did you say my grandfather sent you?

He thinks that I can persuade you to marry Blifil.

I owe my grandfather everything.

He knows I can never bear to make him unhappy.

There’s only ever been the two of us.

But now there’s the two of us.

You and me, and the world before us.

And I cannot live in it without you.

Nor I without you.

BLIFIL: Perhaps she is merely shy.

Ooh!

Possibly.

It’s, it’s only right and proper for a young bride to be nervous.

Tom’ll sort her out.

Tom?

Tom?

Seducer!

My fool of a granddaughter has fallen in love with your bastard of a bastard.

Good Lord, no.

I caught her kissing the thieving villain!

In my trophy room!

He should hang for it.

William, you told me Miss Western had accepted you.

(stammering): By little sighs and maidenly tokens, she did.

And I swear I will have no other son-in-law.

No, no, William must also choose freely.

He may no longer think her suitable.

(footsteps approaching) Can you go a single day without causing mayhem?

(sighs) It doesn’t look like it, does it?

Always your own worst enemy.

(birds chirping in distance) (sighs) (inhales) I will take pity… …on a misguided soul, and guide my wife to a full understanding of her sins.

Yes.

(stammering): No.

Hm?

So long as the wedding shall be sooner than Michaelmas.

Much sooner.

Tomorrow.

Oh, dear, uh, uh, perhaps the day after tomorrow?

(dishes rattle) (mumbling) (horse snorts) (chortles) You’ve been right about him, William, all along.

Tom Jones has proved himself unworthy of the trust I put in him.

(birds cawing) ALLWORTHY: Your pursuit of that young lady against my express commands has been criminal, Tom.

I was acting in defense of Miss Western.

Predatory– it’s ugly.

Aunt Bridget, I love her.

Our lives go wrong when we put our own selfish desires before everyone and everything.

She has accepted William.

She is to be married.

Can you now finally accept she cannot be yours?

I have disappointed you.

I beg your forgiveness.

But I cannot promise ever to accept the loss of her.

May we not give the boy another chance?

Oh, we have forgiven you often enough, Tom Jones.

If you have one ounce of the honor I used to think I saw in you, you will never bother poor Miss Western again.

Without a word to me?

TOM: Dearest Sophia…

I wish I had the words… (gun fires, Tom yelps) (laughs, wings flapping, animal calling) (panting) Black George.

An unhappy poet sits under a tree.

Trying to write a letter.

Oh, and losing his appetite.

Shame to waste it.

Don’t mind me, then.

The lady’ll be waiting.

I’m happy to be postman.

I shan’t send it.

It wouldn’t be right.

If she always longs to make her grandfather happy… …well, I must hope she will be happy herself.

For there’s no future for us.

I know that now.

Well, good luck to you, Black George.

Oh, aye?

Watch over Sophia.

London.

Where else?

I am that sad fellow.

Then you are the worst enemy I ever made in my life.

Landlord?

(snaps fingers) No, no, no.

Really, no more.

(clears throat) I wasn’t always a barber.

No, I was once a teacher and a householder.

Until I took into my house a flighty maid called Jenny Jones.

My mother!

The same.

Then you are Benjamin Partridge.

I am!

And on account of you, innocent babe as you were, I lost my wife, my home, and my situation.

(laughing) I am heartily sorry.

And, and heartily pleased to meet you.

Look, I… (mugs clink) I’ve always wondered… Mr. Partridge, do I have the honor to address my father?

I am not that sinner.

Hand on heart, I was never unfaithful to my wife!

Whoever your real father was, he’s never shown any interest in you, has he?

Never.

Then leave him be, lad, and let’s drink to an open road.

And a new day.

(chuckles) BOB: Very touching.

Now, in the absence of Mr. Fitzpatrick, which of you two fine gentlemen will be paying the bill for this evening’s entertainment?

I, sir.

(clears throat) It will be my pleasure to pay.

(sniffs) The money.

My father’s money, it’s, it’s gone.

Oh, Partridge, I’ve lost his farewell gift.

On me.

No, I can’t let you do that when I can never pay you back.

(coins jingling) I’ll just pay for my own, then.

You, out!

(softly): Honour, where are you?

(horse snorts, owl hoots) (footsteps approach) Who’s there?

(horse nickers) Oh, Black George– don’t creep up on people.

I beg your pardon, miss.

Tom’s heading for London.

I’d make a bit more effort with the decorations.

Miss Western, I presume.

HONOUR: It’s ruddy obvious what happened.

He boasted about you.

In a pub!

I’m sure he didn’t mean to.

He scarpered without paying.

Well, he’s wasting his time.

I plan to surround our niece with a tonier class of person.

Show her some better options than that beggarly bastard.

Mr. Jones is awfully handsome.

For a beggarly bastard.

Really?

(knocks) HARRIET: Alas, she has left me, Mr. Jones, and gone to another aunt.

A very grand lady, indeed.

May I know that lady’s address, madam?

Or at least her name?

I am very sure Miss Western will be sorry that she does not already know I am in London.

(knock at front door) If you can help me, madam, I will be forever in your debt.

(front door opens) Charming.

Sadly, I must respect her confidence.

But now, Mr. Jones, I have a visitor.

My dear cousin.

My dear Lady Bellaston.

HARRIET: This city, this life, it’s not for you.

All I have ever had to offer you is my love.

LADY BELLASTON: She will never be yours.

Never.

Sophia is found among the fleshpots.

She must be saved!
