Part 1

 * [Young Pip walks in Miss Havisham's room]
 * Miss Havisham: Look closer if you wish.
 * [Young Pip goes near the butterfly collection]
 * Miss Havisham: My brother's collection. He went to the furthest reaches of the earth in his quest for the purest specimen of beauty. And when he found it, he stuck a pin through its heart. He's dead now. Cholera. In the tropics. Struck down in his relentless pursuit of beauty. Perhaps it was beauty's revenge, to stop his heart when he had stopped so many others.


 * Miss Havisham: Do you think beauty is a destroyer of men, Pip?
 * Young Pip: I can't be sure, Miss.
 * Miss Havisham: We must hope so.
