"I noticed that Mr. Pumblechook in his hospitality appeared to forget that he had made a present of the wine, but took the bottle from Mrs. Joe and had all the credit of handling about in a gush of joviality. Even I got some." (33)
"The sergeant took a polite leave of the ladies, and parted from Mr. Pumblechook as from comrade; though I doubt if he were quite as fully sensible of that gentleman's merits under arid conditions, as when something moist was going." (33-34)
"But Mr. Publechook said, sharply, "Give him win, Mum. I'll engage there's no Tar in that:" (32)
Mr. Pumblechook is a free-spirited, debauchery loving kind of guy. He's always throwing around the bottle of liquor and won't hesitate to bring out his best drinks to impress everyone, even Pip gets some wine when Mr. Pumblechook starts to hand it out. For this party-animal spirit, I believe Robert Downey Jr. would be perfect as Mr. Pumblechook.
