JAGGERS:
I have need of information to extract
For I have unusual business to transact
First let me say I do not answer questions
Not unless they are posed with the utmost of discretion
And let it be known this is none of my idea
If my advice had been heeded I would surely not be here
I act for another
And confidentially so
I've no need to discover
More than I need to know
I've made exacting statements heretofore
We ask no less, no more
Wemmick!
WEMMICK:
We ask no less, no more
(spoken)
To reiterate... Mr. Jaggers acts as a confidential agent. No more and no less.
JAGGERS:
I'm instructed to communicate that he (gestures to pip)
Will come into a most handsome property
Let it be known he'll have great expectations
Such a sum that is suited to advancing education
Apprenticed to a man by the name of Gargery and we will pay
For his release and from now I’ll oversee
I act for another
And confidentially so
I've no need to discover
More than I need to know
An endowment too substantial to ignore
We ask no less, no more.
Wemmick!
WEMMICK:
We ask no less, no more.
ENSEMBLE:
We ask no less, no more.
WEMMICK: (spoken)
To reiterate...provisions have been made for this young fellow to become a gentleman.
JAGGERS:
Now your benefactor's made it crystal clear
There's to be strict anonymity from here
Let it be known there's one more stipulation
You must always be known as “Pip”
To claim your station
A queer convolution but one you must endure,
*If there is even one small objection
There must be forfeiture
I act for another
And confidentially so
I've no need to discover
More than I need to know
At his or her discretion i implore
We ask no less, no more.
Wemmick!
WEMMICK:
We ask no less, no more.
CHORUS:
We ask no less, no more.
WEMMICK: (spoken)
To reiterate...your benefactor wishes to remain anonymous and you are always to be called “Mr. Pip”.
JAGGERS:
I act for another
And confidentially so
I've no need to discover
More than I need to know
I'm well paid for the service I perform
We ask no less, no more.
Wemmick!!
WEMMICK:
We ask no less, no more!
CHORUS:
We ask no less, no more!
WEMMICK
To reiterate, you'll be a man of great expect...
JAGGERS
Wemmick!!!!
WEMMICK: (spoken)
Coming, Sir.
CHORUS:
We ask no less, no more!!!
