Short filmTranscript
00:00I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:30The Pickwick papers were first published in monthly installments beginning in April 1836.
00:59And by the famous artists, Seymour and Fizz, they were an overnight sensation, not because of the fine illustrations, but because of the genius of a virtually unknown young writer, Charles Dickens, who was then 24 years old.
01:16With each monthly installment, Dickens created a host of delightful characters, the Pickwickians and their friends.
01:24The Pickwickians travel about England, observing events and customs, as Mr. Pickwick put it, for the advancement of knowledge and the diffusion of learning.
01:35Many and curious were their adventures, but none more heartwarming than their Christmas holiday spent at Manor Farm, Dingley Dell, County of Kent.
01:47Mr. Pickwick, Mr. Pickwick, come in, come in.
01:52Good day, Mr. Pickwick.
01:57How do you do?
01:59Nice to see you again.
02:01A little late, I fear.
02:03Oh, well, it's very cold.
02:05As brisk as bees did the four Pickwickians assemble on the morning of the 24th day of December.
02:12Somewhat tardy, but in his customary good humor, was Mr. Samuel Pickwick himself, the amorous Mr. Tracy Tupman, the poetic Mr. Augustus Snodgrass, and the sportive Mr. Nathaniel Winkle.
02:30Ah, Mr. Pickwick's drink.
02:36Mr. Pickwick.
02:40This is yours, Winkle.
02:42Gentlemen, I give you Christmas.
02:45Christmas in all his bluff and hearty honesty.
02:49Christmas.
02:50To Christmas.
02:51Father Christmas.
02:52Gay and Merry is the time.
03:01And right, Gay and Merry are at least four of the numerous hearts that are gladdened by his coming.
03:07Hear, hear, Mr. Pickwick.
03:09Hear, hear.
03:10And numerous indeed are the hearts to which Christmas brings a brief season of happiness and enjoyment.
03:18Numerous indeed.
03:19Hear, hear, hear.
03:20How many families whose members have been dispersed and scattered far and wide in the restless struggle of life are then reunited, happy, happy Christmas,
03:34that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days, that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth,
03:42that can transport the sailor and the traveller thousands of miles away back to his own fireside and his quiet home.
03:58Now then, gentlemen, the Muggleton coach is about to depart, if you please.
04:03Have you seen my part?
04:09Yes, that's yours.
04:14Oh, I do hope it isn't too cold on us.
04:17Oh, I do hope it isn't too cold on us.
04:17Have you got everything, sir?
04:27Yes, I think.
04:28Oh, I beg you.
04:29Bye-bye, bye-bye, sir.
04:30Oh, come along with the pickwick, sir.
04:35While I'm going.
04:35Oh, up we get, sir.
04:37Right, sir.
04:37Now, put on there, Mr. Pickwick.
04:38Right, there you go, sir.
04:40Come along.
04:40Oh, very nice, sir.
04:42Up, Mr. Pickwick.
04:43Thank you very much, sir.
04:45Very nice.
04:46There you go.
04:47There's the way, sir.
04:48There.
04:49Hmm.
04:50All right, sir?
04:51Right-o.
04:53Cold, coach, but isn't it nice?
04:55Oh, good.
04:56It really is.
04:57Yeah.
04:58I'm glad we have that rum punch before we get out.
05:00Look, we can help you, dear.
05:01Thank you, my dear.
05:04Up there now.
05:06Is that all right?
05:07Mm-hmm.
05:08Good.
05:11Are we all right now?
05:12Very good, dear.
05:13All ready, coachman?
05:15Yes, we're all here.
05:16We're all here.
05:17Come on in.
05:18We're all here.
05:38Oh.
05:39Bye.
05:44Woo-hoo!
07:15Three o'clock that afternoon.
07:17The Pickwick Inns arrived, high and dry, safe and sound, hale and hearty, at the Blue
07:23Lion Inn, Muggleton.
07:26Thank you, Sam.
07:27Now then, see to the luggage.
07:29Yes, sir.
07:31Why, it's none other than Mr. Wardle's favorite servant.
07:48Did he send you to meet us?
07:49Yes, Mr. McQueen.
07:51Merry Christmas to you.
07:53And a Merry Christmas to you, my young friend.
07:56You look rosy enough.
07:58I've been asleep, right in front of the taproom fire.
08:02Master sent the shaker to carry your luggage up to the house.
08:06He'd have sent some saddle horses.
08:08But he thought you'd rather walk, being a cold day.
08:11Yes, yes, we would rather walk.
08:13Good for the circulation.
08:15Here, Sam.
08:17Yes, sir.
08:18Help Mr. Wardle's servant to put the luggage into the cart and then ride with him.
08:22Yes, sir.
08:23We shall walk on.
08:24Come, gentlemen.
08:26Forward to Dingley Dell.
08:31So, I'm to help you put the luggage in this here cart.
08:34That's right.
08:47Well, you're a nice specimen of a prize, boy. You are.
09:05You ain't got nothing on your mind as makes you fret yourself, have you?
09:15Not as I knows, hon.
09:17Hmm.
09:18I should rather have thought to look at you that you was labouring under an unrequited attachment for some young woman.
09:26No.
09:27Hmm. Well, I'm glad to hear it.
09:30Well, I've had the impression of that, sir, and it's not too late.
09:32Ah.
09:33Well, I've had no idea of finding the dynamic.
09:36Yes, sir, sir, sir.
09:37Yes, sir, here.
09:38Yes.
09:39Yes, sir.
09:40Well, you were a good friend.
09:41Yes, sir.
09:42Yes, sir, sir.
09:43Well, I've had nothing to do this.
09:44Oh, sir, sir.
09:45Still, sir.
09:46Do you have a drink?
09:51Do you ever drink anything?
09:56I likes eating better.
09:59Ah, I should have supposed that.
10:03But what I mean is,
10:05should you like a drop of something as it warm you?
10:09But then, I suppose you never was cold, was you?
10:12Sometimes.
10:14And I likes a little something when it's good.
10:17Oh, you do, do you?
10:21Come this way, then.
10:35Meanwhile, Mr. Pickwick and his friends proceeded cheerfully on.
10:46The paths were hard.
10:48There was snow on the ground.
10:49The air had a fine, dry, bracing coldness.
10:54But if they were social and happy outside the house,
10:58what was the warmth and cordiality of their reception
11:01when they reached the farm?
11:05Very, very good.
11:07Well, he had a great day.
11:09Good morning.
11:09I'm a good one.
11:09So then, I can tell you, Mr. Pickwick.
11:10Oh, we're all in the room for three weeks.
11:20Oh, oh.
11:22Oh, oh...
11:23If you could come here, let me know,
11:24there's a nice chest.
11:25Oh, oh.
11:26Oh, oh.
11:27Oh, oh.
11:27Oh.
11:28Oh, oh.
11:28Oh, oh.
11:29Oh, oh.
11:30Welcome to Malibar.
11:32Take off your coat, Jack.
11:34You have a cold, dearly?
11:35Cold and exciting.
11:36It's amazing, sir.
11:38I trust you shall find the Christmas spirit here, Mr. Pickwick.
11:42Oh, I'm quite sure we shall.
11:44Christmas is always our favorite season here in Dingleydale.
11:47Oh, I know, I know.
11:49Now, come and see my mother.
11:51She's eagerly awaiting you, as you know.
11:53Now, that indeed will be a great pleasure.
11:56Sometimes mother is something less than pleasant,
11:59but, uh, come along.
12:02Now tell me, did Joe fetch your luggage?
12:04Oh, yes, yes, he's been most helpful.
12:06And he's bringing my servant, Sam,
12:08back with him in the shake-off.
12:10Reliable boys both.
12:11Now we'll surprise, mother.
12:13Oh, yes.
12:14Mother?
12:18Look who's here.
12:20Mr. Pickwick.
12:26You recollect him?
12:27Never mind.
12:28Don't trouble Mr. Pickwick about an old critter like me.
12:37Nobody cares about me now.
12:40It's very natural that they shouldn't.
12:43Oh, come, come, ma'am.
12:46I can't let you cut an old friend like this the day before Christmas.
12:50I have come down here expressly to have a long talk with you.
12:57And, uh, we'll show those boys and girls how to dance a minuet before they're age and forty hours older.
13:04Ah?
13:05I can't hear him.
13:08Nonsense, mother.
13:09Now come, come.
13:10Don't be cross.
13:11There's a good soul.
13:12Ah, Mr. Pickwick.
13:13Young people were very different when I was a girl.
13:14No doubt of that, ma'am.
13:15No doubt of that.
13:16And so whether the old lady was touched by Mr. Pickwick's affectionate good nature,
13:19or whatever was the cause, she was fairly melted, and all her little ill humor evaporated.
13:44A happy party they were that Christmas Eve.
14:00The carpet was up, the candles burned bright, the fire blazed and crackled on the hearth.
14:07And for the first time within the memory of his oldest friends, Mr. Pickwick's appearance was most remarkable.
14:13Well, Pickwick, enjoying yourself?
14:26A delightful evening, delightful.
14:28You mean to dance, I dig it?
14:30Of course I do.
14:31Don't you see?
14:32I am dressed for the purpose.
14:34You in silk stockings?
14:37And why not, sir?
14:39Why not?
14:40I suppose there's no reason why you shouldn't wear them, sir.
14:46I imagine not, sir.
14:48I imagine not.
14:49You see, nothing extraordinary in the stockings.
14:52As stockings I trust, sir.
14:58Certainly not, certainly not.
15:01We are all ready for the dancing, I believe.
15:06We are.
15:07Gentlemen, choose your partners.
15:11Are we all ready?
15:26Yes, we are, sir.
15:27Then begin at once.
15:28Now.
15:29Now.
15:30Stop, stop.
15:31What's the matter?
15:32What's happened?
15:33Winkle's missing.
15:34And Arabella?
15:35Yes, where are we?
15:36Winkle, where are you?
15:37Winkle, where are you?
15:38Winkle.
15:39Arabella.
15:40Winkle.
15:41I say, Winkle.
15:42I think, yes, here we are.
15:56What an extraordinary thing it is that you couldn't have been in your place before.
16:01It's not at all extraordinary.
16:04Well, I don't know that it was so extraordinary either.
16:11After all.
16:34Wow Poby, whoλie.

19:45Oh, Mr. Big Big.
19:46I'm not a gentleman enough.
19:48Supper is ready.
20:06The screaming had subsided and faces were in a glow and curls in a tangle.
20:11And they all sat down by the huge fire of blazing logs to a very substantial supper.
20:22Here we are, Mr. Pickwick.
20:26This is indeed comfort.
20:32Our invariable customer at Christmas time.
20:35Everybody sits down with us on Christmas Eve.
20:39As you see now, servants and all.
20:41And here we wait till the clock strikes twelve to usher Christmas in.
20:48Winkle me, boy.
20:49Rake up the fire.
20:53Up flew the bright sparks and myriads as the logs were stirred.
20:57The deep red blaze sent forth a rich glow and cast its cheerful tint on every face.
21:11Ladies and gentlemen, let's drink to Christmas.
21:14To Christmas.
21:15To Christmas.
