A Christmas Carol is a 1935 British Christmas fantasy film directed by Henry Edwards and starring Seymour Hicks, Donald Calthrop and Robert Cochran. It was the first sound film of feature length to adapt the Charles Dickens novella A Christmas Carol, and it was the second cinematic adaptation of the story to use sound, following a now lost 1928 short subject adaptation of the story. Hicks had previously played the role of Scrooge on the stage regularly, starting in 1901, and in a 1913 British silent film version. The 1913 film, retitled Old Scrooge, was reissued in 1929 as a "sound film" by the low-budget Weiss Bros. studio, with a synchronized musical score added.
Critical reception to Scrooge has been generally positive over the years. Praise has focused on the film's atmosphere, which has been compared to works of German expressionism, and on the performance of Hicks in the title role. Some reviews have criticized the film for its technical limitations and for heavily abbreviating Scrooge's backstory.
Plot: Ebenezer Scrooge (Seymour Hicks) is a curmudgeonly businessman who hates the Christmas season because it interferes with making money. His meek employee, Bob Cratchit (Donald Calthrop), dutifully serves Scrooge despite his mistreatment because Bob needs to provide for his family. On the night of Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by a number of visions, including the Spirit of Christmas Present (Oscar Asche), which shows him things he cannot normally see, changing the miser's attitude forever.

00:02:43May I inquire, Mr. Cratchit, what you're doing with that shovelful of coal?
00:03:06Why, I beg your pardon, sir, but the outer office is intensely cold.
00:03:12My fire?
00:03:13Your fire.
00:03:14I should have said your fire, sir.
00:03:17Yes, sir.
00:03:18It shows symptoms of going out, and I thought I might venture to replenish it with a small quantity of coal.
00:03:24Yes.
00:03:25Well, of course, you know, it's very evident to me, you know, Mr. Cratchit, that you and I left apart.
00:03:29Oh, I see no help for it, sir.
00:03:31You don't pay for the coal, so you can afford to be reckless.
00:03:36Therefore, very evident to me, sir, you know, that my interest is not your interest.
00:03:41Nor my welfare, your welfare.
00:03:44Get on with your work, sir.
00:03:47That'll keep you warm enough.
00:03:49I'm not cold.
00:03:51Why should you be?
00:03:52And I'm your senior, sir, by a great many years, I fancy.
00:04:00And all about a small shovelful of coal.
00:04:03Well, none of you are mumbling, you know, none of you are mumbling.
00:04:14You... you have a wife and family to support, I understand.
00:04:18Yes, sir.
00:04:19Yes, sir.
00:04:20How many children have you got?
00:04:21Around half a dozen, sir.
00:04:23Three boys and three girls.
00:04:24That, that, that.
00:04:25Can I afford a wife?
00:04:26Yes, sir.
00:04:27Eh?
00:04:28Eh...
00:04:29I mean, no, sir.
00:04:30Have I any children?
00:04:32I don't know, sir.
00:04:33Eh?
00:04:34No.
00:04:35No, sir.
00:04:36How much am I constrained to pay you a week for your services?
00:04:40Fifteen shillings, sir.
00:04:42Eh.
00:04:43Be to your interest, sir, to see that you're worth it.
00:04:46Hm-hm.
00:05:02Mm-hm.
00:05:06A merry Christmas to you, uncle.
00:05:08And God save you.
00:05:10Bah, humbug.
00:05:12Christmas a humbug?
00:05:14You can't mean then, I'm sure.
00:05:16I do mean it, sir.
00:05:18What right have you to be married?
00:05:20What reason have you to be married?
00:05:22You're poor enough.
00:05:24Come then.
00:05:26What right have you to be dismal?
00:05:28What reason have you to be morose?
00:05:30You're rich enough.
00:05:32Bah, humbug.
00:05:34Oh, don't be cross, uncle.
00:05:36How can I help being cross, sir,
00:05:38when I live in such a world of fools as it is?
00:05:40A merry Christmas.
00:05:42What's Christmas time to you, sir?
00:05:44Time for paying bills without money?
00:05:46Time for finding yourself a year older?
00:05:48No, no, no, not a penny of it, sir.
00:05:50If I add my way, sir,
00:05:52every fool who goes about saying Merry Christmas
00:05:54shall be boiled with his own pudding
00:05:56and buried with a steak of olive through his heart.
00:05:58He should.
00:06:00Uncle!
00:06:02Nephew, you keep Christmas your way.
00:06:05Let me keep it in mind.
00:06:06Keep it?
00:06:07But you don't keep it.
00:06:08Well, let me leave it around, then.
00:06:10Much good is it done here.
00:06:12Much good will it ever do here.
00:06:14It's the only time I know of in the long calendar of the year
00:06:17when men and women seem by one consent
00:06:19to open their shut hearts freely.
00:06:22And therefore, though it's never put a scrap of gold or silver in me bucket,
00:06:25I believe it has done me good and will do me good.
00:06:28And I say God bless it.
00:06:30Yeah, yeah.
00:06:31Yeah, yeah.
00:06:33Mr. Cratchit,
00:06:35if I hear another word from you,
00:06:37you'll keep your Christmas by losing your situation.
00:06:40Dear, dear, dear, dear.
00:06:41Quite a powerful speaker, sir.
00:06:43No wonder you don't go into Parliament.
00:06:45Don't be angry, Uncle.
00:06:46Come, dine with us tomorrow.
00:06:48I'll see you.
00:06:49But why?
00:06:50Why?
00:06:51Why did you get married?
00:06:53Because I fell in love.
00:06:55Because I fell in...
00:06:56Good evening.
00:06:57But you never came to see us before that happened.
00:06:59Why give that as a reason for not coming now?
00:07:01Good evening, sir.
00:07:02But I want nothing from you.
00:07:03I ask nothing of you.
00:07:04Well, you won't get it, so you won't be disappointed, will you?
00:07:06We've never had a quarrel to which I've been party.
00:07:09So why not let us part friends?
00:07:11Good evening, sir.
00:07:12Well, I'm sorry with all my heart to find this irrelevant,
00:07:14but I've made the trial as homage to Christmas
00:07:17and I'll keep my Christmas humor to the last.
00:07:20So a merry Christmas, Uncle.
00:07:22Good evening, sir.
00:07:23And a happy New Year.
00:07:24You're a noisy devil.
00:07:25That's what you are, sir.
00:07:26Merry Christmas, Bob Bratchett.
00:07:28And the same to you, sir, and many of them,
00:07:30and not forgetting your good lady, Mrs. Bray.
00:07:32Thank you, Bratchett.
00:07:34A merry Christmas, behold.
00:07:35A merry Christmas.
00:07:37Yeah.
00:07:38Good evening, sir.
00:07:39It's a merry Christmas.
00:07:40If you like the generosity of the sadly
00:08:07Always ready and willing to quit your work, I notice.
00:08:23It's seven o'clock, sir.
00:08:24That clock's fast.
00:08:25By the way, I suppose you'll want all day off tomorrow, eh?
00:08:31Well, sir, if it's quite convenient.
00:08:33It isn't convenient.
00:08:35It isn't fair.
00:08:37If I was a stubborn to account for it, oh, you'd be mighty legal, you and I'd be bound, wouldn't you?
00:08:42Don't think I'm ill used, do you, when I have to pay a whole day's wages, no work?
00:08:49It only happens once a year, sir.
00:08:52That's a pretty excuse for picking a man's pocket every 25th of December.
00:08:56Well, I... I suppose you've got to have it.
00:09:01There.
00:09:02There's the key.
00:09:04You see, sir, that you're here all the earlier, next morning.
00:09:13Good night, sir.
00:09:14And a merry Christmas.
00:09:15Bah!
00:09:16It's a little bit weird.
00:09:17Umberg!
00:09:19You see?
00:09:20It's the only one that you'll get up with, sir.
00:09:23Under the hood.
00:09:24It's the only one you see!
00:09:25It's the only one that you'll get up with!
00:09:27I'll get on with it!
00:09:28Come on!
00:09:29Oh, boy!
00:09:29Oh!
00:09:29It's all ready to go.
00:09:30Come on!
00:09:31Come on!
00:09:32Come on!
00:09:33I'll get you for a long time!
00:09:34Come on!
00:09:36Get up!
00:09:37Oh!
00:09:38Come on!
00:09:39Come on!
00:09:39Come on!
00:09:40Come on!
00:09:41Come on!
00:09:42Come on!
00:09:42Come on!
00:09:43Come on!
00:09:44Merry Christmas, sir.
00:10:11Bad, I'm bad.
00:10:38Merry Christmas to you, my boy.
00:10:39Thank you, sir.
00:10:40Same to you, sir.
00:10:45Oh!
00:10:47Here you go.
00:10:57How'd you go?
00:11:01Good evening.
00:11:02Give us a penny.
00:11:03Get out of this.
00:11:04Okay.
00:11:08Good evening.
00:11:09Give us a penny.
00:11:10Get out of this.
00:11:14Okay.

00:11:19Give us a penny.

00:11:27Good evening.
00:11:34How are you?
00:11:36What a coin?
00:11:37Did you call this coin?
00:11:38The plane, you call this plane?
00:11:51Yeah.
00:11:52Well, it's this.
00:12:08Right, right.
00:12:13Don't stop that noise.
00:12:23My lord, will you make your speech now, or will you let the ladies and gentlemen continue
00:12:29to enjoy them?
00:12:31Call silence for the loyal toast.
00:12:38My lords, ladies, and gentlemen, pray silence for the Right Honourable, the Lord Mayor of
00:12:51London, my lord.
00:12:58My lords, ladies, and gentlemen, Her Most Gracious Majesty, the Queen.
00:13:08Amen.
00:13:09Amen.

00:13:23With all the victoria, happy and gloria,

00:21:33But you were always a good man of business, Jacob, business.

00:21:57You will be haunted by three spirits.
00:22:00Without their visits, you cannot hope to shun the path I tread.
00:22:04You shall behold the visions of a Christmas past,
00:22:08a Christmas present,
00:22:11and a Christmas yet to come.
00:22:15Expect the first when the clock strikes midnight tonight.

00:24:15I am the spirit of Christmas past.
00:24:24I am here to show you the things that have been.
00:24:30Look back beyond the gulf of vanished years.
00:24:34The money is due and must be paid.
00:24:41But, sir, that's impossible.
00:24:42Then I shall have no alternative for to take immediate steps to recover it.
00:24:47But, sir, you must see that if...
00:24:49That is the way I conduct my business.
00:24:53You don't mean...
00:24:55sell us up?
00:24:56That is precisely what I do mean.
00:24:59But, sir, I couldn't work in the hospital.
00:25:03Mr. Scrooge, I beg all you.
00:25:05Good day.
00:25:08You can't do this.
00:25:09You can't be so unjust.
00:25:11Give us a little more time.
00:25:13A week.
00:25:14Please!
00:25:14Please!
00:25:15Please!
00:25:15Please!
00:25:24Please!
00:25:24Oh, dear, I didn't hear you come in.
00:25:51So it is.
00:25:54What do you mean?
00:25:56Well, they say that you're a man without pity, without remorse,
00:26:00who weighs everything in the scale of profit and loss.
00:26:03Bill!
00:26:04I heard. I couldn't help you.
00:26:06What is this business?
00:26:08If I were to allow sentiment to enter this counting house,
00:26:11I should be in the bankruptcy court within a year.
00:26:14And as for that couple who've just gone out,
00:26:16well, set your mind at rest about them.
00:26:19Worthless, shiftless pair.
00:26:21I've had my good money.
00:26:23Now I want to avoid paying it back.
00:26:25Your money.
00:26:27Your good money.
00:26:30They asked you for a little breathing space,
00:26:33a little time in which to pay.
00:26:35That's all.
00:26:36Enough of this, Bill.
00:26:37I am ready to make allowances for your feelings as a woman.
00:26:40But I must ask you to leave my business affairs alone.
00:26:43When you marry me, I shall insist.
00:26:49You'll take leave of your senses.
00:26:51I've tried hard not to believe what they've said about you.
00:26:54I'd give you anything not to believe it now.
00:26:56The evidence of my own mind is near, and I must believe.
00:27:00You are not always so.
00:27:02But I can see now that one passion and one passion only engrosses you.
00:27:06gain.
00:27:07What then?
00:27:08Even if it were so, I'm not changed towards you.
00:27:10You are changed.
00:27:12Changed in every way.
00:27:14You're not the man.
00:27:15Our contract's an old one.
00:27:17Made when we were poor and content to be so.
00:27:21May you be happy and loved in the life you've chosen.
00:27:28Father.
00:27:44Now look and see the happiness you have missed.
00:27:49There we go, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy
00:28:19Look! It's Daddy!
00:28:21Daddy!
00:28:37Oh, by the way, Belle.
00:28:39I saw an old friend of yours this afternoon.
00:28:41Oh? Who was it?
00:28:43You guess.
00:28:45How can I? I don't know.
00:28:48It wasn't Mr. Scrooge.
00:28:50Mr. Scrooge, it was.
00:28:52I passed his office window.
00:28:54And as it was not shut up and there was a candle inside,
00:28:56I could fiercely help see him.
00:28:58His partner's on the point of death, I hear.
00:29:02And there he sat, alone.
00:29:04Quite alone in the world, I do believe.
00:29:12Spirit, I cannot bear it.
00:29:14Halt me no more.
00:29:16I told you these were the shadows of the things that have been.
00:29:20That they are what they are.
00:29:22Do not blame me.
00:29:24Take me back!
00:29:26Yes!
00:29:40It's one o'clock. I know it is.
00:29:56It's one o'clock.
00:29:58Come in, and know me, better man.
00:30:21I am the ghost of Christmas present.
00:30:30Look upon me.
00:30:35You have never seen the like of me before.
00:30:41Never?
00:30:43I have never walked forth with the younger members of my family,
00:30:48meaning I am very young,
00:30:51my elder brothers born in those later years.
00:30:55I don't think I have.
00:30:58I'm afraid I have not.
00:31:00Have you many brothers, Spirit?
00:31:05More than 1,800.
00:31:10A tremendous family to provide for.
00:31:14Spirit, conduct me where you will.
00:31:17Already I have been forth under compulsion
00:31:21and learned a lesson which is working now.
00:31:24If you have aught to teach me, let me profit by it.
00:31:30Touch my robe.
00:31:35And you shall see how you are poor Clark,
00:31:38with his ordinary fifteen shillings a week,
00:31:41which you so grudgingly dole out to him,
00:31:44keeps Christmas.
00:31:46Touch my robe.
00:31:50Touch my robe.
00:31:53Up!
00:31:54You get tiny, Tim.
00:32:08Don't you get tiny, Tim!
00:32:09That's back!
00:32:10Who can throw these people!
00:32:11Make her follow the next turning I try to?
00:32:13I'll be the best all the next steps,
00:32:15a toy.
00:32:16And you all never get filled with the new человек,
00:32:17with one more!
00:32:18Jim!
00:32:19Too late for that long...
00:32:20dasseliet понять anytime was him,
00:32:21in the day after he fired...
00:32:22прис bewusstτιmusik,
00:32:23and the questioning...
00:32:24it's not the same.
00:32:25Arunas and a fury!
00:32:26I love you!
00:32:27What?
00:32:29It's not what?
00:32:30The � doubly.
00:32:31A boat!
00:32:33Ooh.
00:32:35Get one!
00:32:37Ooh, thank you, Charles.
00:32:43Mother, mother, mother!
00:32:45We've been outside the beaker,
00:32:47and we've been outside the beaker,
00:32:49and we've found a lovely goose cookie.
00:32:51Yes, and we've sure it's fine.
00:32:53Yes, and we're sure it's fine.
00:32:55Yes, and we're looking at the beaker.
00:32:57Yes, and we're looking at the beaker,
00:32:59Yes, sure, it's ours.
00:33:01Yes, the lovely ghost, the lovely ghost, the lovely ghost.
00:33:04Oh, what has ever got your precious father, then?
00:33:06And your brother, a tiny Tim.
00:33:08And your sister Martha wanted to make last Christmas by half an hour.
00:33:11Mother!
00:33:12Oh, bless your heart, my dear.
00:33:15My Christmas, Martha.
00:33:17Oh, bless you.
00:33:18Oh, bless you.
00:33:19May Christmas.
00:33:20Why, Peter.
00:33:21May Christmas.
00:33:22No, no.
00:33:23We had a deal upon it to finish up last night and had to clear away this morning.
00:33:26Well, never mind, as long as you are.
00:33:27Come.
00:33:28Come and sit before the fire, my dear, and get it warm.
00:33:30No, no.
00:33:31Here's Martha.
00:33:32Quick, Martha.
00:33:33Hurry.
00:33:34Quick, hurry.
00:33:35Quick, hurry.
00:33:38Here we are.
00:33:39Father.
00:33:40Father.
00:33:41That's not you.
00:33:42And where's our mother?
00:33:44She's, um, not coming.
00:33:48Not coming?
00:33:52Not coming upon Christmas Day?
00:33:55Please.
00:33:56Yes, Father, there, here I am.
00:33:59Oh, come on.
00:34:03Oh, dear.
00:34:04Oh, dear.
00:34:05Oh, dear.
00:34:09Oh, dear.
00:34:10That would be the goose.
00:34:12I'll pet you next.
00:34:14I'll catch it!
00:34:16Hand wash.
00:34:17Hand wash, hand wash.
00:34:19Hand wash.
00:34:20Hand wash.
00:34:22Hand wash.
00:34:25Come and sit down and warm a bit.
00:34:33And how did Tiny Tim behave?
00:34:36As good as gold.
00:34:38And better.
00:34:40Somehow he gets thoughtful, sitting by himself so much,
00:34:43and thinks the strangest things you ever heard.
00:34:47He told me, coming home,
00:34:49that he hoped that the people in the church saw him,
00:34:52because he was a cripple,
00:34:55and that it might look pleasant for them to remember,
00:34:58upon a Christmas day,
00:35:01who made lame beggars walk and blind men see?
00:35:10But he's growing stronger.
00:35:14Yes, growing strong and hearty.
00:35:18I wish I could believe you, Bob,
00:35:21but I'm afraid.
00:35:25Hooray!
00:35:35There never was, Mr. Roo!
00:35:37There never will be, Mr. Roo!
00:35:39There never will be, Mr. Roo!
00:35:41Thank you, Mr. Roo!
00:35:43For what we are about to receive,
00:35:45may the Lord make us truly thankful.
00:35:47Hooray!
00:35:48Hooray!
00:35:49It's tenderly I can already vouch for.
00:35:52Yes!
00:35:53And its waver will, I know,
00:35:56surpass my utmost expectations.
00:35:58Yes!
00:35:59With the mashed potatoes,
00:36:01and the apple sauce,
00:36:03it will, I am sure,
00:36:05present a delightful combination
00:36:07that we shall remember until our dying day.
00:36:09Yes!
00:36:14Delicious!
00:36:15Delicious!
00:36:16That's the best goose we ever had, Mother.
00:36:19Yes, indeed.
00:36:20Oh, yes.
00:36:21Oh, I've eaten too much.
00:36:23And even now,
00:36:25we haven't eaten at all.
00:36:26Yes!
00:36:27Yes!
00:36:28Yes!
00:36:29Yes!
00:36:30You laugh!
00:36:31Laugh!
00:36:32I envy them!
00:36:34Spirit!
00:36:35Tell me the tiny Tim will live!
00:36:36I see a vacant seat
00:36:37in the poor chimney corner,
00:36:38a crutch without an owner,
00:36:52carefully preserved,
00:36:53If these shadows remain unhaught in the future,
00:36:55a child will die.
00:36:56Oh, tell me that he'll be spared.
00:36:59Oh, if these shadows remain unhaught in the future,
00:37:01the child will die.
00:37:03Oh, tell me that he'll be spared.
00:37:06If he is like to die, had he not better do it
00:37:11and decrease the surplus population?
00:37:15You would.
00:37:17Come now.
00:37:19I give you a toast.
00:37:21I give you Mr. Scrooge, the founder of the feast.
00:37:24The founder of the feast, indeed.
00:37:26I wish I had him here.
00:37:28I'd give him a piece of my mind to feast upon.
00:37:30I hope he'd have a good appetite for it.
00:37:32But, my dear, the children, Christmas Day.
00:37:35It should be Christmas Day, I'm sure,
00:37:36on which one drinks the health of such an odious, stingy,
00:37:39hard, unfeeling man as Mr. Scrooge.
00:37:42You know he is, Robert.
00:37:43Nobody knows he'd better than you do, poor fellow.
00:37:45My dear, Christmas Day.
00:37:48Well, I'll drink his health for your sake and the day's, not his.
00:37:52He'll be very merry and very happy, I've no doubt.
00:37:57Here's Mr. Scrooge's health.
00:37:59Now, children, all together, Mr. Scrooge's health.
00:38:02Mr. Scrooge's health.
00:38:04Mr. Scrooge's health.
00:38:05Mr. Scrooge's health.
00:38:14And now, Tiny Tim will sing to us.
00:38:16Yes, I do sing.
00:38:18What shall I sing?
00:38:20Hark the herald in.
00:38:21Yes, Hark the herald in.
00:38:22Yes, Hark the herald in.
00:38:23Hark the herald angels sing.
00:38:27Glory to the newborn King.
00:38:32Peace on earth and mercy nigh.
00:38:37Come now and see how others keep Christmas.
00:38:46Christmas song.
00:38:47By the fire of the old sky,
00:38:51When the heaven is not yet to end,
00:38:56I will fall to the end,
00:39:00To the heaven of the sea,
00:39:05To the heaven of the sea,
00:39:07To the heaven of the sea,
00:39:09Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
00:39:39Ghost of the future, I fear you more than any specter I have seen.
00:39:51You are about to show me the shadows of the things that have not been,
00:39:58but will be, in the time to come.
00:40:02And as I hope to live to be another man from what I was,
00:40:09I am prepared to bear you company.
00:40:28I don't know much about it either way. I only know he's dead.
00:40:31When did he die? Last night, I believe.
00:40:34Why, what was the matter with him? I thought he'd never die.
00:40:37Heaven knows. What's he done with his money?
00:40:41Left it to his company, perhaps. He hasn't left it to me. That's all I know.
00:40:48How are you? Very well. How are you?
00:40:50So old Nick has got his own at last.
00:40:52I'm told. Cold, isn't it? Seasonable for Christmas time.
00:40:55Oh, yes. You're not a skater, I suppose.
00:40:57Oh, no, no. I've got something else to think about.
00:40:59I do not see myself in my accustomed place.
00:41:05Where am I? Why am I not there?
00:41:10Don't stand there staring as if you were afraid, woman.
00:41:26Who's the worse for the loss of a few things like this?
00:41:29Not a dead man, I suppose.
00:41:32Open this bundle, old Joe, and let me know the value of it.
00:41:37I ain't afraid to be the first, nor afraid for them to see it.
00:41:42Oh, yes.
00:41:44I won't go with him.
00:42:11There's your workload.
00:42:12I wouldn't give another sixpence.
00:42:14Now mine, Joe.
00:42:26Eight shillings.
00:42:28I always give too much to ladies.
00:42:31It's a weakness of mine.
00:42:34And now unto my bundle, Joe.
00:42:42Bed curtains.
00:42:49Ah, bed curtains.
00:42:52You don't mean to say you took them down rings and all with him lying there?
00:42:57Why not?
00:42:58You was born to make your fortune.
00:43:01And you will certainly do it.
00:43:03Here, don't drop the oil on the blankets.
00:43:06His blankets.
00:43:07Who's Elton?
00:43:09He isn't likely to take cold without them, I dare say.
00:43:14Rufy didn't die of anything catching.
00:43:16Oh, don't you be afraid of that.
00:43:19Now, you can look through that shirt until your eyes ache and you won't find a hole in it.
00:43:25It's the best he had.
00:43:27It'd have been wasted if it hadn't been for me.
00:43:30What do you call wasting of it?
00:43:33Putting it on him to be buried in, to be sure.
00:43:37I took it off him.
00:43:39Calico's justice for coming to the body.
00:43:44He couldn't have looked uglier than he did in that one.
00:43:49This is the end of it, you see.
00:44:05He frightened everyone away from him when he was alive, to plop his heart when he was dead.
00:44:14I see.
00:44:15I see.
00:44:16I see.
00:44:17The case of this unhappy man might be my own.
00:44:21My life tends that way now.
00:44:25Merciful heavens!
00:44:30What is that?
00:44:33Is this the man they spoke of?
00:44:43Neglected.
00:44:46Robbed.
00:44:49Hated.
00:44:52Can you not show me some tenderness connected with death?
00:45:03Mrs.
00:45:04Yes, sir.
00:45:05I see.
00:45:06You indeed.
00:45:07Mr.
00:45:07No, you're not.
00:45:08Mr.
00:45:09You must go.
00:45:12Mr.
00:45:13No.
00:45:14Let's go.
00:45:16Mr.
00:45:17No.
00:45:19Mr.
00:45:21Mr.
00:45:22No.
00:45:23No.
00:45:24Mr.
00:45:26No.
00:45:27Mr.
00:45:28No.
00:45:29Mr.
00:45:30Mr.
00:45:31Yes.
00:46:02My little child.
00:46:32Tiny Tim.
00:46:54Thy childish essence was from God.
00:47:04I met Mr. Scrooge's nephew today, and he said to me, I'm heartily sorry for you, Mr. Cratchit, and heartily sorry for your good wife.
00:47:21Oh, how he knew that, I don't know.
00:47:24Knew what, my dear?
00:47:25Why, that you were a good wife.
00:47:27Everybody knows that.
00:47:28Well observed, my boy.
00:47:31And he said, if there's any service that I can do for you, pray come to me.
00:47:42It almost seemed as though he had known our tiny Tim and felt with us.
00:47:53And I'm sure we shall none of us forget him, nor this first parting there has been among us.
00:48:01Never, Father.
00:48:03And I know that when we recollect how patient and how mild he was, although he was but a little child, we shall not quarrel easily among ourselves and forget poor tiny Tim in doing it.
00:48:21No, Father.
00:48:28I'm very happy.
00:48:31Very happy.
00:48:34Now, Spirit, tell me what man that was whom we saw lying dead.
00:48:51Before I draw nearer to the stone at which you point, tell me, are these the shadows of the things that will be?
00:49:20Or are they the shadows of the things that may be only?
00:49:25Ebeneezer Scrooge!
00:49:30Am I the man who lay upon the bed?
00:49:41No, Spirit, no.
00:49:43I'll not be the man I was.
00:49:46I'll not be the man I must have been but for this intercourse.
00:49:51Why show me this if it is all too late?
00:49:55Tell me I may sponge away the writing on this stone.
00:49:59I will honor Christmas in my heart and try to keep it all the year.
00:50:03I will live in the past, the present, and the future.
00:50:10The spirits of all three shall strive within me.
00:50:13I will not shut out the lessons that they did.
00:50:18No, no!
00:50:35I will live in the past, the present, and the future.
00:50:59Oh, Jacob Marley, even in Christmas time be praised for this.
00:51:06I thank you.
00:51:09On my knees, I thank you, Jacob.
00:51:13On my knees.
00:51:20They're not torn down.
00:51:23They're not torn down.
00:51:29The things that would have been, may have been as well.
00:51:34They will.
00:51:36They will.
00:51:39They will.
00:51:42They will.
00:51:54Merry Christmas.
00:51:56God bless you.
00:51:59Oh, I don't know what to do.
00:52:01I'm as happy as a sad boy.
00:52:03I'm as merry as an angel.
00:52:05I'm as giddy as a drunken man.
00:52:08Oh, Merry Christmas to everyone.
00:52:11Happy New Year to all the world.
00:52:13Oh, hello!
00:52:14Oh, there, yes.
00:52:18Yes, the thought that the girl was in.
