They call me Mr. Chips.


Katherine: It must be tremendously interesting to be a schoolmaster, to watch boys grow up and help them along; to see their characters develop and what they become when they leave school and the world gets hold of them. I don't see how you could ever get old in a world that's always young.

Mr.Chipping(Mr. Chips) Actually I am going on strike because I refuse to contribute anything to my pension or medical insurance costs. The little buggers will have to fend for themselves.

Katerine: Surely you can not mean that?

Mr. Chipping(Mr. Chips) Of course I do. My main concern is my self interest. I need more time off, a higher pension, better benefits and everything I ever wanted without reference to the fiscal reality of our times. I want. I need. I will get what I want. Oh and one more thing.

Katherine: Yes?

Mr. Chipping(Mr. Chips) Don't call me Shirley.

Katherine: Well what should I call you?

Mr. Chipping(Mr. Chips) They call me Mr. Chips.

    Mr. Chips would never deprive himself the pleasures of the cane for mere material advantage.

    Perhaps I should have written "Who are you calling, boy?"

    Nah, that doesn't help.

    I am superannuated, my maturity level only occasionally keeps up with my vale of years.
