Transcript
00:02:00Thank you, sir.
00:02:01Are you off home to keep Christmas?
00:02:02I am not in a habit of keeping Christmas, sir.
00:02:04Then why are you leaving so early?
00:02:05Because, sir, Christmas is a habit of keeping men from doing business.
00:02:08Come, it's the nature of things.
00:02:10It's an ant's toil and grasshoppers sing and play, Mr. Scrooge.
00:02:13An ant is what it is, and a grasshopper is what it is, and Christmas, sir, is a humbug.
00:02:17Good day.
00:02:18Mr. Scrooge, sir.
00:02:28Who are you?
00:02:29Samuel Wilkins, sir.
00:02:30Oh, yes.
00:02:31You owe me a little matter of 20-odd pounds, I believe.
00:02:35Well, if you want to pay it, come to my place of business.
00:02:38I don't conduct my affairs in the teeth of inclement weather.
00:02:41I can't pay you, sir.
00:02:42I'm not surprised.
00:02:43Not unless you give me more time.
00:02:45Did I ask you for more time to lend you the money?
00:02:47Oh, no, sir.
00:02:48Then why should you ask me for more time to pay it back?
00:02:50I can't take my wife to a debtor's prison.
00:02:52Then leave her behind.
00:02:53Why should she go to a debtor's prison anyway?
00:02:55She didn't borrow the 20 pounds.
00:02:56You did.
00:02:57Huh.
00:02:58What has your wife got to do with it?
00:02:59For that matter, what have I got to do with it?
00:03:01Good afternoon.
00:03:02Mr. Scrooge, it's Christmas.
00:03:03Christmas has even less to do with it, my dear sir, than your wife has or I have.
00:03:06You'd still owe me 20 pounds if you're not in the position to repay
00:03:09for it as a middle of a heat wave in August bank holiday.
00:03:11Good afternoon.
00:03:12We offer you.
00:03:42Well, have I the pleasure of addressing Mr. Scrooge or Mr. Marley?
00:03:50Mr. Marley has been dead these seven years.
00:03:53In fact, he died seven years ago this very day.
00:03:56Well, we have no doubt that his generosity is well represented by his surviving partner.
00:04:01At this festive season of the year, Mr. Scrooge, it is more than usually desirable
00:04:07that we should make some slight provision for the poor and destitute.
00:04:12Are there no prisons?
00:04:14Plenty of prisons.
00:04:15And the union workhouses, are they still in operation?
00:04:18They are.
00:04:19I wish I could say they were not.
00:04:21And the treadmill and the poor law, they're still in full vigor, I presume?
00:04:24Both very busy, sir.
00:04:26Oh, from what you said at first, I was afraid that something had happened
00:04:29to stop them in their useful course.
00:04:31I'm very glad to hear it.
00:04:32I don't think you quite understand us, sir.
00:04:35A few of us are endeavouring to raise a fund to buy the poor some meat and drink,
00:04:40and means of warmth.
00:04:41Why?
00:04:42Because it is at Christmas time that want is most keenly felt,
00:04:46and abundance rejoices.
00:04:48What can I put you down for?
00:04:50Nothing.
00:04:52You wish to be anonymous.
00:04:54I wish to be left alone.
00:04:56Since you ask me what I wish, sir, that is my answer.
00:04:59I help to support the establishments I have mentioned.
00:05:02Those who are badly off must go there.
00:05:04Many can't go there.
00:05:05And some would rather die.
00:05:07If they would rather die, they'd better do it and decrease the surplus population.
00:05:12Besides, it's not my business.
00:05:14Isn't it, sir?
00:05:15No.
00:05:16It is enough for a man to understand his own business without interfering with other people's.
00:05:21Mine occupies me constantly.
00:05:23Good afternoon, gentlemen.
00:05:25Who's that?
00:05:26Your nephew, uncle.
00:05:27It's not you, is it?
00:05:28Well, what do you want?
00:05:29Neither to borrow money or beg a mortgage, uncle.
00:05:30Only to wish you a merry Christmas.
00:05:31Keep Christmas in your own way and leave me to keep it in mine.
00:05:32But you don't keep it.
00:05:33Then let me leave it alone, then.
00:05:34Much good may do you to keep it.
00:05:35Much good it has ever done you.
00:05:36It certainly done me no harm.
00:05:37No, your wayward nature has done that.
00:05:38And your marriage?
00:05:39My marriage was the making of me.
00:05:40The ruin of you, you mean?
00:05:41Why don't you come and see for yourself if you won't take my word for it?
00:05:43Come and dine with us tomorrow.
00:05:44No, thank you.
00:05:45But why?
00:05:46Why?
00:05:47Why?
00:05:48Why?
00:05:49Why?
00:05:50Why?
00:05:51Why?
00:05:52Why?
00:05:53Why?
00:05:54Why?
00:05:55Why?
00:05:56Why?
00:05:57Why?
00:05:58Why?
00:05:59Why?
00:06:00Why?
00:06:01Why?
00:06:02Why?
00:06:03Why did you marry against my wishes?
00:06:04Because I fell in love.
00:06:05You fell in love?
00:06:06With a woman as penniless as yourself.
00:06:07Oh, good evening.
00:06:08We've never had any quarrel that I've ever been party to.
00:06:09I asked nothing of you.
00:06:10I came here in the spirit of right goodwill and I won't let you dampen it.
00:06:11So a merry Christmas to you anyway, uncle.
00:06:12Good evening.
00:06:13And a happy new year.
00:06:14Good evening.
00:06:15Humbert!
00:06:16Humbert!
00:06:17How is Mrs. Cratchit and all the small assorted Cratchit's?
00:06:22Very well, sir.
00:06:23thank you.
00:06:24All champing at the bit for Christmas to begin, eh?
00:06:25Oh, yes, all very eager.
00:06:26And a little little little little lady!
00:06:27A little little lady and a distant lady.
00:06:28Just a little little lady in the shock.
00:06:30And a little lady may not be wrong.
00:06:32We'd never have any quarrel that I've ever been party to.
00:06:33I asked nothing of you.
00:06:34I came here in the spirit of right goodwill and I won't let you dampen it.
00:06:35So a merry Christmas to you anyway, uncle!
00:06:36Good evening!
00:06:37And a happy new year.
00:06:38Good evening!
00:06:39Good evening!
00:06:40And a happy new year.
00:06:41Good evening!
00:06:42Humbert!
00:06:43Yes, sir. All very eager.
00:06:45And the little lame boy. Which one is he?
00:06:48Tim, sir.
00:06:49That's right. How is he?
00:06:51We're in high hopes. He's getting better, sir.
00:06:53Good. A Merry Christmas to you.
00:06:55Thank you, sir, and a Merry Christmas to you, sir, I'm sure.
00:07:43Come along, Tim, my dear. I've got the goose.
00:08:04Did you have a lovely time looking at all the wonderful things?
00:08:08Yes, thank you, Mama. Did you get a big goose?
00:08:10It's the biggest goose you ever did see.
00:08:12As big as you and as fat as a beagle.
00:08:14Wait till your father sees it.
00:08:16His eyes will pop right out of his head.
00:08:18We'll get all about worried old Mr. Scrooge.
00:08:23You're not feeling too tired, are you, dear?
00:08:25Not a bit, Mama.
00:08:27Your father was here. He'd carry you home on his shoulder.
00:08:30Yes, I love having a ride on his shoulder.
00:08:32Well, Mr. Scrooge will keep him working in that cold little room just as late as he possibly can.
00:08:38Christmas Eve all over, Christmas Eve, they all over.
00:09:08You'll want the whole day off tomorrow, I suppose.
00:09:16If quite convenient, sir.
00:09:17Not convenient.
00:09:18And it's not fair.
00:09:21If I stopped your half a crown, fellow, you'd think yourself overused, wouldn't you?
00:09:25But you don't think me overused if I pay a day's wages for no work, do you?
00:09:29It is only once a year, sir.
00:09:31That's a poor excuse for picking a man's pocket every 25th of December.
00:09:34Yes, sir.
00:09:35I'm sure I'm very sorry, sir, to cause you such an inconvenience.
00:09:38It's the family more than me, sir.
00:09:40They've put their hearts into Christmas, as it were, sir.
00:09:42Yes, and put their hands into my pocket, as it were, sir.
00:09:45I suppose you'd better have the whole day.
00:09:47I'd be back all the earlier next morning.
00:09:49I will indeed, sir. Thank you, sir. It's more than generous of you, sir.
00:09:52Yes, I know it is. You don't have to tell me.
00:09:55A Merry Christmas, sir.
00:09:58A Merry Christmas, sir.
00:10:00You, a clerk, and 15 shillings a week with a wife and a family, talking about a Merry Christmas.
00:10:05I'll retire to Bedlam.
00:10:22Waiter.
00:10:39Yes.
00:10:41More bread.
00:10:42Take me extra, sir.
00:10:48No more bread.
00:10:50Yes.
00:10:52Screw.
00:11:14Screw.
00:11:16Jacob Marley.
00:11:46Jacob Marley.
00:12:16Jacob Marley.
00:12:46Jacob Marley.
00:13:15Jacob Marley.
00:13:45Jacob Marley.
00:14:15Jacob Marley.
00:14:45Jacob Marley.
00:15:15Jacob Marley.
00:15:45Jacob Marley.
00:16:15Jacob Marley.
00:16:45Jacob Marley.
00:17:15Jacob Marley.
00:17:45Jacob Marley.
00:18:15Jacob Marley.
00:18:17Jacob Marley.
00:18:45Jacob Marley.
00:19:15No, I think I'd rather not.
00:19:17Without their visits you cannot hope to shun the path I tread.
00:19:23Expect the first when the bell tolls one.
00:19:34Look to see me no more.
00:19:45But look here that you may remember for your own sake what has passed between us.
00:20:00Why do they lament?
00:20:03They seek to interfere for good in human manners
00:20:10and have lost their power forever.
00:20:15No, no...
00:20:19No...
00:20:21No...
00:20:32No...
00:20:36No...
00:20:39No...
00:20:41No, no, no!
00:21:11No, no, no, no!
00:21:41Are you the spirit whose coming was foretold to me?
00:22:02I am.
00:22:04Who and what are you?
00:22:08I am the ghost of Christmas past.
00:22:12Long past?
00:22:14No, your past.
00:22:19What is your business here with me?
00:22:22Your welfare.
00:22:25My welfare?
00:22:28Your reclamation, then.
00:22:31Take heed, rise, and walk with me.
00:22:37Through the window.
00:22:50Are you afraid?
00:22:52I am immortal and liable to fall.
00:22:59Bear but a touch of my hand, and you shall be upheld in more than this.
00:23:05Good heavens.
00:23:18You know this place.
00:23:20Do it.
00:23:21I was a boy here.
00:23:33They are but shades of the things that have been.
00:23:35They do not know we are here.
00:23:37Look.
00:23:38There's my old school.
00:23:40How lonely and deserted it looks.
00:23:43Not quite deserted.
00:23:44A solitary boy yourself, Ebenezer, forgotten by his friends, is left there still.
00:23:50I knew.
00:23:51I knew.
00:23:53I knew.
00:23:55I knew.
00:23:56I knew.
00:23:57I knew.
00:23:58I knew you.
00:24:12I knew.
00:24:13Ebeneezer.
00:24:31Fan!
00:24:39Fan.
00:24:41Oh, dear brother, I have come to bring you home.
00:24:45Home, home, home.
00:24:49Yes, home for good Lord.
00:24:51Home for ever and ever.
00:24:53Father is so much kinder than he used to be,
00:24:55that home is like heaven.
00:24:57For you, perhaps, but not for me.
00:25:01He doesn't know me, nor even what I look like.
00:25:04The same as I hardly know you now that you're quite a woman.
00:25:09Mama must have looked as you look now just before she died.
00:25:13Perhaps that is what has changed his mind towards you.
00:25:16He spoke to me so gently one night when I was going to bed
00:25:19that I wasn't afraid to ask him just once more if you might come home.
00:25:23And he said, yes, you should, and sent me in a carriage to bring you.
00:25:26And you're never to come back here anymore.
00:25:29And you're never to be lonely again.
00:25:31Never to be lonely again?
00:25:33Never as long as I live.
00:25:35Well, then you must live forever, Fan.
00:25:38Nobody else ever cared for me.
00:25:40Nobody else ever will.
00:25:42You must live forever, Fan.
00:25:44Oh, dear brother, what nonsense.
00:25:46Everyone loves you very much.
00:25:48You must forgive, Papa, and forget the past.
00:25:51For our dearest mother's sake.
00:25:54Oh, Fan.
00:25:56Let me bring down Master Scrooge's box.
00:26:01Our sister was always a delicate creature whom a breath might have withered,
00:26:09but she had a large heart.
00:26:11She had.
00:26:12She died a married woman and had, I think, children.
00:26:16One child.
00:26:17True, your nephew.
00:26:20She died giving him life.
00:26:23Your mother died giving you life for which your father never forgave you,
00:26:28as if you were to blame.
00:26:47You recall this, no doubt.
00:26:48Recall it?
00:26:49Why, bless my soul.
00:26:50It's old Fezzerwick's.
00:26:51I was apprenticed here.
00:26:52Look, there's old Fezzerwick and Mrs. Fezzerwick.
00:26:53Top couple.
00:26:54There's old Fezzerwick and Mrs. Fezzerwick.
00:26:55Top couple.
00:26:56Here.
00:26:57Hello.
00:26:58You're welcome.
00:26:59You're welcome.
00:27:00You're welcome.
00:27:01You're welcome.
00:27:02You're welcome.
00:27:03You're welcome.
00:27:04Hello, Miss Kearn.
00:27:05I was apprenticed here.
00:27:16Look, there's old Fezzerwick and Mrs. Fezzerwick.
00:27:17Top couple.
00:27:25Was there ever a kinder man?
00:27:28And yet, what has this party cost him in your mortal money?
00:27:32Three or four pounds at most.
00:27:33Is that so much that he deserves your praise?
00:27:36Oh, but it's not that.
00:27:37The happiness he gave to us, his clerks and apprentices and everybody who knew him
00:27:40was as great as if it had cost a fortune.
00:27:46What's the matter?
00:27:47Nothing.
00:27:48Something, I think.
00:27:49No, no, no.
00:27:50Just that I'd like to have a word with my own clerk, Bob Tratchett, just now.
00:27:55That's all.
00:27:58Turn and see yourself in love, Ebenezer Scrooge.
00:28:00It's only a shilling ring, Alice, but one day it'll be a gold one.
00:28:05Oh, when I'm rich enough.
00:28:07Oh, it's a beautiful ring.
00:28:10Oh, but I mustn't accept it.
00:28:11Why not?
00:28:12Because it's not good enough for you.
00:28:14Oh, no, no.
00:28:15Because I'm not rich enough for you.
00:28:17Oh, for yourself.
00:28:18Of course not.
00:28:21You're still so young.
00:28:22You may have a change of heart one day.
00:28:23Oh, dearest Alice, if ever I have a change of heart towards you, it'll be because my heart
00:28:29has ceased to beat.
00:28:31And it makes no difference that I'm poor.
00:28:34I love you because you're poor, not proud and foolish.
00:28:40Will you always feel like that?
00:28:42As long as I live.
00:28:44Longer.
00:28:45Forever and ever.
00:28:46Then, I accept your ring, Alice.
00:28:57Ebenezer.
00:28:59God bless you.
00:29:00God bless you.
00:29:07From now to eternity, we two are as one.
00:29:11I've seen enough.
00:29:13Yet more waiters.
00:29:14I won't look.
00:29:14You shall.
00:29:16Now see yourself in business, Ebenezer.
00:29:19Come, come, Mr. Fezziwig.
00:29:20We're good friends, I think.
00:29:21Besides good men of business, we're men of vision and progress.
00:29:25Why don't you sell out while they're going as good?
00:29:27You'll never get a better offer.
00:29:29This is the age of the machine and the factory and the vested interests.
00:29:33We small traders are all history, Mr. Fezziwig.
00:29:36Dodos.
00:29:37Yes, I dare say we are.
00:29:39And the offer is a very large one, I have to admit.
00:29:41But it's not just for money alone that one spends a lifetime building up a business, Mr. Jorky.
00:29:46Well, if it isn't, I'd like you to tell me what you do spend a lifetime building up a business for.
00:29:52It's to preserve a way of life that one knew and loved.
00:29:56No, I can't see my way to selling out to the new vested interests, Mr. Jorky.
00:30:01I'll have to be loyal to the old ways and die out with them if needs must.
00:30:06Well, you know what they say about time and tide, Mr. Fezziwig.
00:30:10They wait for no one.
00:30:12There's more in life than money, sir.
00:30:16Oh, excuse me, Mr. Fezziwig, sir.
00:30:18Yes, yes, my boy.
00:30:19The foreman would appreciate a word with you if you can spare the time, sir.
00:30:22Yes, yes, of course.
00:30:24Excuse me a moment.
00:30:25You can't teach an old dog new tricks, can you, Mr. Scrooge?
00:30:39Nor teach the lepers to change its spots.
00:30:42Well, I think I know what Mr. Fezziwig means, though, sir.
00:30:46Oh, so you hate progress and money, too, do you?
00:30:50No, I don't hate them, sir.
00:30:51But, well, perhaps the machines aren't such a good thing for mankind after all.
00:30:56Saging onions, my dear fellow.
00:30:57Ha! Gammon and spinach.
00:31:00Why, suppose I told you you could get twice the salary a old Fezziwig can afford to pay you.
00:31:04And advancement he can't afford to offer you.
00:31:07There's a clerk in a new company.
00:31:09What would you say to that, eh?
00:31:12I'd still say money wasn't everything, sir.
00:31:15Well, if it ain't, I don't know what is.
00:31:18Come and see me someday anyway, young fellow.
00:31:20You're smart and you're no fool.
00:31:23That's the kind of buck they're looking for these days.

00:31:38Yes, here.
00:31:39Fan, it's me, your brother.
00:31:49Do you know me?

00:32:00Promise me.
00:32:01Promise you what, Fan?
00:32:08I'll promise you anything, dearest.
00:32:10Only that there isn't going to be any need.
00:32:14You're going to get well again, Fan.
00:32:17No.
00:32:17You are.
00:32:19You are.
00:32:20Dear God, you must.
00:32:24Fan, you can't die.
00:32:28Fan, you mustn't die.
00:32:31You're going to get well again, Fan.
00:32:33Fan, you're going to get well again.
00:32:35Fan, you're going to get well again.
00:33:01How could you have brought me here?
00:33:12Have you no mercy, no pity?
00:33:14Ebenezer.
00:33:16Brother.
00:33:19Ebenezer.
00:33:22Promise me you'll take care of my boy.

00:34:27And you can work your way on up as high as the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral if you have
00:34:30a mind to do so.
00:34:31Control the cash box and you control the world.
00:34:34By the way, how did old Fezziwig take it when you said you were leaving him?
00:34:39You wish me luck, sir.
00:34:41No hard feelings, eh?
00:34:42Starting with a clean slate.
00:34:44Good.
00:34:45And now let me introduce you to your fellow clerk.
00:34:48Mr. Marley.
00:34:49Just a moment, please.
00:34:52Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge, the new clerk.
00:34:55Mr. Jacob Marley, our wizard of the accounts.
00:34:58Your servant, Mr. Marley.
00:34:59Your servant, Mr. Scrooge.
00:35:01I'm sure you two gentlemen will get along famously.
00:35:04I'm sure we shall, Mr. Jorkinsert.
00:35:06Yes.
00:35:07Well, I'll leave you to it.
00:35:13Place, no doubt, seems new and strange to you.
00:35:15Somewhat.
00:35:16The world is on the verge of new and great changes, Mr. Scrooge.
00:35:19Some of them, if necessity, will be violent.
00:35:22Do you agree?
00:35:23Oh, I think the world's becoming a very hard and cruel place, Mr. Marley.
00:35:28One must steal oneself to survive it.
00:35:30Not be crushed under with the weak and the infirm.
00:35:33I think we have many things in common, Mr. Scrooge.
00:35:36I hope so, Mr. Marley.
00:35:38Coz.
00:36:03oh excuse me mr scooter yes pardon the liberty but do you know find him kept on here sir what's

00:37:03she is not changed by the harshness of the world but you are then you no longer love me
00:37:11you no longer love me when have I ever said that in words never well in what then in the way you
00:37:20have changed but how have I changed towards you by changing towards the world it is such a terrible
00:37:27thing for a man to struggle with something better than he is another idol has replaced me in your
00:37:32heart a golden idol it's singular the world that can be so brutally cruel to the poor professes to
00:37:38condemn the pursuit of wealth in the same breath you fear the world too much with reason but I
00:37:43am not changed towards you aren't you our promise is an old one it was made when we were both poor and
00:37:55content to be so if you had never made that promise tell me would you seek me out and try to win me now
00:38:04of course I would no if you were free today would you choose a dialess girl with with neither wealth
00:38:14nor social standing you who now weigh everything by gain bring you nothing but repentance and regret
00:38:22that is why I release you

00:39:12that they are what they are do not blame me
00:39:14give me away
00:39:15very well but we have not done yet Ebenezer Scrooge we do but turn another page
00:39:22and as your business prospered Ebenezer Scrooge a golden idol took possession of your heart
00:39:37as Alice said it would
00:39:42may we hear those figures Mr. Snedgrid at your pleasure certainly Mr. Groper well gentlemen
00:39:48after 17 years of existence the amalgamated mercantile society's books show the startling
00:39:52figures of a liability of three thousand two hundred pounds eight shillings and tempence
00:39:57and a total asset of eleven pounds eight shillings and tempence
00:40:00well at least the tempences cancel each other out
00:40:06how much of this is the company's capital
00:40:08all of it Mr. Rosebud
00:40:10in short sir you're not only a bankrupt you're an embezzler of the company's funds
00:40:15I will so beat my wife and skewer innocent babies when in my cups
00:40:21take a very cool attitude if I may say so sir
00:40:23so do Mr. Scrooge and Mr. Marley
00:40:25they're not facing prosecution for a capital offense
00:40:28oh but gentlemen it could have been any one of you
00:40:30we're all cutthroats under this fancy linen Mr. Snedrick
00:40:34I must ask you to speak for yourself Mr. Jorking
00:40:36and what would you gauge to prosecute me
00:40:38all you'd get out of it is about eleven pounds on
00:40:41and to pack me off to Botany Bay would be poor compensation for the panic that would arise among the shareholders
00:40:47panic sir?
00:40:48yes panic
00:40:49would any of you gentlemen care to deny that if this juicy little scandal leaked out now
00:40:54the annual shareholders meeting would resemble an orchestra of scorched cats
00:41:00result bankruptcy all round
00:41:03strike that speech out of the minutes
00:41:04yes sir
00:41:05Mr. Jorking doesn't exaggerate the imprudence of allowing his misdemeanors to be made public
00:41:12are you in sympathy with Mr. Jorking by any chance Mr. Scrooge?
00:41:16not I confess with his methods
00:41:17but Mr. Marley and I have a proposition to make to the representatives of the company
00:41:22which might solve some of the difficulties to our general advantage
00:41:25the devil you have
00:41:26you want to watch these two fellas you know
00:41:28they'd skin Jack catch alive and he'd never know they've done it
00:41:31can we hear the proposition?
00:41:35should I have a spoken?
00:41:38Mr. Marley and myself
00:41:39are prepared to make good
00:41:41out of our own private resources
00:41:43the sum of money appropriated by Mr. Jorking
00:41:47reprieved
00:41:49reprieved
00:41:50curfew shall not ring to light Mr. Snedrick
00:41:53order order
00:41:54in return
00:41:55we wish to be allowed the option of buying up further shares in the company
00:41:59to a maximum of 51% of the total
00:42:04in short gentlemen
00:42:05if you wish to save the fair name of the company
00:42:08by accepting their generous offer
00:42:09they become the company
00:42:11never, never, never, out of the question
00:42:14never, 50%
00:42:15out of the question
00:42:16and also out of order Mr. Scrooge
00:42:41pardon me
00:42:54if you can find the grace too
00:42:56I just come from Mr. Marley's
00:42:59with a message for Mr. Scrooge
00:43:00can I give it to him?
00:43:02well please your great kind self dear
00:43:04I'm to say
00:43:06that Mr. Marley
00:43:07ain't expected to live through the night
00:43:09and that if Mr. Scrooge wants to take his leave of him
00:43:13he should nip along smartly
00:43:15or there won't be no Mr. Marley to take leave of
00:43:17as we know the use of the word
00:43:19he's breathing very queer
00:43:23when he does breathe at all
00:43:25excuse me Mr. Scrooge
00:43:31I'm busy
00:43:32it's about Mr. Marley
00:43:33he's dying sir
00:43:34well what can I do about it
00:43:36if he's dying

00:44:11the same to you
00:44:31I hope you'll find Mr. Marley well sir
00:44:55I should think that's highly unlikely
00:44:57yes I suppose so sir
00:44:59it seems odd to think of the place without him sir
00:45:02why should it be any more odd than it was with him
00:45:04we've all got to die
00:45:06I suppose you'll be wanting the whole day off tomorrow as usual
00:45:11if quite convenient sir
00:45:13every Christmas you say the same thing
00:45:16and every Christmas it's just as inconvenient as it was the Christmas before

00:46:52Oh?
00:46:53Oh, what, particularly?

00:47:17Wrong?
00:47:19Oh.
00:47:20Well, we, we can't be right all the time.
00:47:23Nobody's perfect.
00:47:25We've been no worse than the next man.
00:47:28Oh, better if it comes to that.
00:47:31You mustn't reproach yourself, Jacob.
00:47:34We are wrong.
00:47:35What?
00:47:40Save yourself.
00:47:43Save myself.
00:47:47Save myself from what?
00:47:50Hmm?
00:47:53Speaker.

00:48:19Just now, do you see it?
00:48:23I almost know.
00:48:24I almost know.
00:48:42One shadow more.
00:48:43No.
00:48:45No more.
00:48:46I, I cannot bear it.
00:48:49Jacob Marley worked at your side for 18 years.
00:48:54He was the only friend you ever had.
00:48:57But what did you feel when you signed the register of his burial
00:49:00and took his money, his house, and his fueled mean sticks of furniture?
00:49:05Did you feel a little pity for him?
00:49:09Look at your face, Elisa.
00:49:12A face of a wrenching, grasping, scraping covetous old sinner.
00:49:18No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:49:48Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:50:02Come in. Come in, Minas Rooch. I await you.
00:50:06Yes, I am. I'm coming.
00:50:09Come in. Come in. I'm coming.
00:50:18I want you to see them.
00:50:23Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:50:26Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:50:28Come in. Come in. Come in.
00:50:31And now, Minas Rooch.
00:50:34Come in. Come in.
00:50:40Come in. And then, Minas, a man.
00:50:43Come in, come in, and obey that a man.
00:50:48I am the spirit of Christmas present.
00:50:51Look upon me.
00:50:52You've never seen the life of me before, have you?
00:50:55Never.
00:50:57And I wish the pleasure had been indefinitely postponed.
00:51:01So?
00:51:02Is your heart still unmoved towards us then?
00:51:05I'm too old and beyond hope.
00:51:08Go and redeem some younger, more promising creature
00:51:11and leave me to keep Christmas in my own way.
00:51:16Mortal, we spirits of Christmas do not live only one day of our year.
00:51:21We live the whole 365.
00:51:25So is it true of the child born in Bethlehem.
00:51:28He does not live in men's hearts only one day of the year,
00:51:30but in all the days of the year.
00:51:32You have chosen not to seek him in your heart.
00:51:35Therefore you shall come with me
00:51:37and seek him in the hearts of men of good will.
00:51:39Come, touch my robe.
00:52:00What place is this?
00:52:02A place where miners live,
00:52:04who labor in the bowels of the earth.
00:52:06But they know me.
00:52:07God and sinners reconciled.
00:52:11Join for all the nations rise.
00:52:16Join the triumph of the skies.
00:52:20Where the jellyfuls proclaim.
00:52:24Christ is born in Bethlehem.
00:52:28All the herald angels sing.
00:52:31Glory to the Lord until born in Bethlehem.
00:52:33Glory to the Lord until born in Bethlehem.
00:52:34Glory to the Lord until born in Bethlehem.
00:52:44Why, it's Cratchit.
00:52:46It's Bob Cratchit.
00:52:54He's coming, Mother.
00:52:55Father's here with Tiny Tim.
00:52:57You hide and we'll tell if you've been held up
00:53:00and who knows when you'll be here to hide.
00:53:02Yes, go and hide.
00:53:03Oh, goodness.
00:53:04Where?
00:53:05Behind this gallery door.
00:53:06Quickly, Mother.
00:53:19A merry Christmas.
00:53:20Why?
00:53:21Where's our Martha?
00:53:22Oh, she's not coming.
00:53:24Not coming?
00:53:25Not coming on Christmas Day?
00:53:26Yes, I am, Father.
00:53:28I can't bear to let them tease you.
00:53:30Why, bless your heart.
00:53:31It never would have been Christmas
00:53:32if they'd kept you late.
00:53:34Is the pudding still singing in the copper, Peter?
00:53:36Yes, come and hear it.
00:53:37Yes, come and hear it.
00:53:39Come and hear it.
00:53:40Come and hear it.
00:53:41Come and hear it.
00:53:42Come and hear it.
00:53:43Come and hear it.
00:53:44Come and hear it.
00:53:45Come and hear it.
00:53:46Come and hear it.
00:53:47Come and hear it.
00:53:48You come along as well, Martha.
00:53:49Come and hear the pudding singing in the copper, Peter.
00:53:50Yes, come and hear it.
00:53:51You come too, Mary and Belinda.
00:53:54You come along as well, Martha.
00:53:55Come and hear the pudding singing in the copper.
00:53:56I'll come in a minute.
00:53:57All right.
00:53:58Sit you down before the fire
00:54:00and have a nice warm.
00:54:01The Lord bless you.
00:54:02We had such a deal of work to finish up last night,
00:54:04but I never did think I'd get away.
00:54:06We had to clear away this morning,
00:54:08and then I ran all the way so as to be here in time.
00:54:10How did little Tim behave in church?
00:54:12As good as gold and better.
00:54:14Somehow he gets thoughtful sitting by himself so much
00:54:17and thinks the strangest things you ever heard.
00:54:20He told me he wasn't going to feel shy
00:54:22if people looked at him because he was a cripple,
00:54:24as it might be pleasant to them being in church
00:54:27to remember upon Christmas Day
00:54:29who made lame beggars walk and blind men see.
00:54:32He's growing strong and hearty though, Martha, my dear.
00:54:35Isn't he, my love?
00:54:45Spirit, tell me will...
00:54:48will tiny Tim live?
00:54:50I see a vacant seat in the poor chimney corner
00:54:53and a crutch without an owner carefully preserved.
00:54:56If these shadows remain unaltered by the future,
00:54:59none other of my race shall find him now.
00:55:02Oh, no.
00:55:03No.
00:55:05The kind spirit...
00:55:07say that he will be spared.
00:55:09Why?
00:55:10If he'd be like to die, he'd better do it
00:55:12and decrease the surplus population.
00:55:14Congratulations.
00:55:21Well, my little cock sparrow,
00:55:23here's your own stool by the fire all ready for you.
00:55:27There's such a goose, Martha.
00:55:29I'm sure of it.
00:55:30And a pudding.
00:55:32Oh, the pudding.
00:55:34I shan't be easy till it's eaten.
00:55:36I confess I have my doubts about the quantity of flour.
00:55:39It'll be a perfect pudding, my love.
00:55:41A perfect pudding.
00:55:43Won't it, Martha, my dear?
00:55:45Hey, Tim?
00:55:46It'll be the finest pudding in the whole of London this Christmas
00:55:49and the goose will be the finest goose.
00:55:51And ours will be the finest Christmas.
00:55:56Here's the punch, all steaming hot.
00:55:58There we are.
00:55:59Now, now, don't goosie.
00:56:00Take your turn, one and all, if you please.
00:56:02There's enough for one toast now and another after that.
00:56:05There, bravo.
00:56:06There's bounty for you.
00:56:08I declare I'd like to know how many families of our acquaintance
00:56:11could boast two rounds of the best gin punch.
00:56:13No, no, no, no.
00:56:15Now, has everybody got his drink?
00:56:17Yes.
00:56:18Good.
00:56:19But before I give the toast,
00:56:20I have a piece of momentous information for all,
00:56:23and Master Peter in particular.
00:56:25Master Peter?
00:56:26Why, that's you, Peter.
00:56:28What is it, Father?
00:56:29You're a teller.
00:56:30Master Peter, now grown to full estate and dignity,
00:56:33a son of the house,
00:56:34and looking every inch the grand fellow he is
00:56:36in one of my own collars.
00:56:40I have waited for this great moment
00:56:42to advise him that I have my eye on a situation for him
00:56:45which will bring in, if obtained,
00:56:47full five and sixpence weekly.
00:56:49Yay!
00:56:50Fluffy!
00:56:51You'll be quite independent gentleman now, Peter.
00:56:53What next, I wonder?
00:56:55Then a toast, my love, my dearies,
00:56:57to our merry Christmas.
00:56:59God bless us.
00:57:00God bless us.
00:57:01God bless us.
00:57:02God bless us.
00:57:03Everyone.
00:57:08I give you Mr. Scrooge,
00:57:10the founder of the feast.
00:57:12Oh, look!
00:57:13He's the founder of the feast indeed.
00:57:15I wish I had him here now.
00:57:16I'd give him a piece of my mind to feast himself upon.
00:57:18My dear children, Christmas Day.
00:57:20It could only be on Christmas Day
00:57:22that I would drink the health of such a hard,
00:57:24stingy, unfeeling man as Mr. Scrooge.
00:57:27You know he is, Robert.
00:57:28Nobody knows it better than you do, poor fellow.
00:57:30My dear, Christmas Day.
00:57:35I'll drink his health for your sake and the day's,
00:57:38not for his.
00:57:39Long life to him,
00:57:41a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
00:57:43He'll be very happy and very merry, no doubt.
00:57:45He said that Christmas was humbug and he believed it too.
00:57:58I told him so.
00:57:59Well, a merry Christmas and a happy new year to the poor old man.
00:58:02He wouldn't let me wish it to him personally,
00:58:04but here it is nevertheless.
00:58:05Uncle Scrooge.
00:58:06Oh!
00:58:07Well, I don't know that our drinking to him will do him much good.
00:58:11Nor do I. I hate it.
00:58:12Oh, I forbid it. I'm sorry for it.
00:58:15I couldn't feel angry with him if I tried.
00:58:17Who suffers worst for Miss Humus?
00:58:19Himself, always.
00:58:20Look at the way he's taken it into his head to disown us without a shilling
00:58:23and won't even come to dinner with us.
00:58:25And what's the consequence?
00:58:26He's only cheated himself out of a highly indigestible dinner.
00:58:29It was a wonderful dinner.
00:58:31Yes, it was a wonderful dinner.
00:58:33Well, I'm very glad you think so, Miss,
00:58:35because I personally haven't very much faith in these newlywed housekeepers.
00:58:38Have you, Tupper?
00:58:40Alas, as a bachelor, I'm a wretched outcast
00:58:43with no right to express an opinion on such a tender and delicate subject.
00:58:47Have I.
00:58:48Dear, distant, unmovable Miss Flora.
00:58:52Now, you really are quite incorrigible, Mr. Tupper.
00:58:56Quite beyond hope.
00:59:08And have not charity.
00:59:09I am become a salding brass or a tinkling cymbal.
00:59:22And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
00:59:27and though I have all faith so that I could remove mountains and have not charity,
00:59:32I am nothing.
00:59:33Do you feel more rested now, my dear?
00:59:36I do.
00:59:37Bless your dear, gentle hand.
00:59:41Alas.
00:59:42Do you know me, darling?
00:59:44I never thought there was anyone like you left in the whole wide world.
00:59:49Cut me throat, ripped me liver from telling a lie.
00:59:52This is the happiest Christmas I ever had.
01:00:03Alice.
01:00:04Alice.
01:00:06Alice.
01:00:12Spirit, are these people real or are they shadows?
01:00:14They're real.
01:00:15We're the shadows.
01:00:16Both of us.
01:00:17Did you not cut yourself off from your fellow beings when you lost the love of that gentle creature?
01:00:34Where are you taking me now?
01:00:36My time with you, Ebenezer, is almost done.
01:00:39Will you profit by what I have shown you of the good in most men's hearts?
01:00:44I don't know.
01:00:46How can I promise?
01:00:48If it's too hard a lesson for you to learn, then learn this lesson.
01:00:58Spirit, are these yours?
01:01:01They are men's.
01:01:02They cling to me for protection from their fetters.
01:01:06This boy is ignorance.
01:01:07This girl is want.
01:01:10Beware them both.
01:01:11But most of all, beware this boy.
01:01:14But have they no refuge?
01:01:16No resource?
01:01:18Are there no prisons?
01:01:19Are there no workhouses?
01:01:22Are there no prisons?
01:01:23Are there no workhouses?
01:01:26Are there no prisons?
01:01:28Are there no workhouses?
01:01:30I am in the presence of the spirit of Christmas yet to come.
01:01:31Are you going to show me shadows of things that have not yet happened but will happen?
01:01:35Spirit of the future, I fear you more than any other specter I have seen.
01:01:36But even in the future, I fear you more than any other specter I have seen.
01:01:37I fear you more than any other specter I have seen.
01:01:38But even in my fear, I must tell you, I am...
01:01:39I fear you more than any other specter I have seen.
01:01:40But even in my fear, I must tell you, I am...
01:01:44I am too old.
01:01:45I cannot change.
01:01:46It is not that I am impenitent.
01:01:47It is not that I am impenitent.
01:01:48It is not that I am impenitent.
01:01:49It is not that I am impenitent.
01:01:54It is just that I...
01:01:55Oh, wouldn't it be better if I just went home to bed?
01:01:57No.
01:01:58No.
01:01:59Warum.
01:02:00aled when you had繋ky blooming.
01:02:01No.
01:02:02You...
01:02:03Loves you...
01:02:04...toí blood and explain, I am she knew, but my fear would never change.
01:02:07This is not that I have anything...
01:02:08Look, what are you saying?
01:02:09You are you,ÄŸlok.
01:02:10It will never happen, and it won't happen.
01:02:12No.
01:02:13That will not happen but will happen.
01:02:17Spirit of the future, I fear you more than any other specter I have seen.
01:02:23Even in my fear, I must tell you, I am too old.
01:02:24I cannot change.
01:02:25It is not that I am impenitent.
01:02:26Lead me, then.
01:02:46He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings thou shalt trust.
01:02:51His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
01:02:53Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flyeth by day.
01:03:00A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not
01:03:05come nigh thee, for he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
01:03:13Because he has set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him.
01:03:17I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
01:03:20Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most high thy habitation.
01:03:27There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
01:03:32He shall call upon me, and I will answer him.
01:03:35I will be with him in trouble.
01:03:37I will deliver him and honour him.
01:03:38Shall I stop reading?
01:03:43No, no.
01:03:44It's only the colour.
01:03:45It hurts my eyes.
01:03:49They're better now.
01:03:51It makes them weak by candlelight.
01:03:54And I wouldn't show your father weak eyes when he comes home for the world.
01:03:58He must be near his time.
01:04:00Plastic, rather.
01:04:01But he seems to be walking a little slower than he used to these last few evenings.
01:04:06Oh, I've known him walk with tiny Tim on his shoulder very fast indeed.
01:04:11So have I.
01:04:12Often.
01:04:13But so have I.
01:04:14So have I.
01:04:15But then he was very light to carry, and his father loved him, so there was no trouble.
01:04:20No trouble.
01:04:21I'm a little late, my dear.
01:04:35Please forgive me.
01:04:36You must be cold and tired.
01:04:38Sit near the fire.
01:04:40No, no.
01:04:40I'm very content, my dear.
01:04:43Very content.
01:04:46I went to see the place where he will rest.
01:04:48It's sheltered by green trees, my dear, and very quiet and still.
01:04:54It was strange, but as I stood there, I felt his hand slip in mine as if he was standing beside me and comforting me.
01:05:01I felt very peaceful, my dear.
01:05:04He was telling me, you see, in his own little way, that he's happy.
01:05:10Truly happy now, and that we must cease to grieve for him and try to be happy too.
01:05:18Oh, dear.
01:05:22My tiny dear.
01:05:25Poor Robert.

01:11:56or are the only shadows of things that might be
01:12:00i know that men's deeds foreshadow certain ends
01:12:12but if the deeds be departed from
01:12:14surely the ends will change
01:12:15tell me to sew with what you show me now
01:12:19oh who are they

01:12:57Tell me I'm not already dead.
01:12:59Tell me I'm not already dead.
01:13:04Believe me, Spirit, I'm not the man I was.
01:13:06Believe me, I'm not the man I was.
01:13:08Why show me all this if I'm beyond all hope?
01:13:11Oh, pity me, Spirit, pity me, and help me.
01:13:14Help me to sponge away the right ear on the stone if I repent.
01:13:17And I do repent, I do repent.
01:13:19I'll make good wrongs I've done my fellow men, and I'll change.
01:13:23I'm not the man I was.
01:13:24I'm not the man I was.
01:13:26Believe me, believe me.
01:13:28I'm not the man I was.
01:13:35I'm not the man I was.
01:13:38I'm not the man I was.
01:13:41I'm not.
01:13:41Oh, my God.
01:14:11Good morning, sir.
01:14:19Tell me, what day is it?
01:14:22What day?
01:14:23What's Christmas day, Paul, sir?
01:14:25Christmas day.
01:14:26Christmas day.
01:14:27Then I haven't missed it.
01:14:30The spirits must have done everything in one night.
01:14:33Of course, they can do anything, can't they?
01:14:35Of course they can.
01:14:41Are you quiet yourself, sir?
01:14:48What?
01:14:49I don't know.
01:14:51No, I don't think so.
01:14:55I hope not.
01:14:56What?
01:14:57The curtains are still here.
01:14:59They're still here.
01:15:00You didn't, you didn't tear them down and sew them.
01:15:02They're here now.
01:15:04Everything's here.
01:15:07I'm here.
01:15:11And the shadows of things that would be can still be dispelled.
01:15:14And they will be.
01:15:15I know they will be.
01:15:17I know.
01:15:19I don't know what to do.
01:15:20I'm as light as a feather.
01:15:24I'm as happy as a, I'm as happy as an angel.
01:15:27I'm as merry as a schoolboy.
01:15:29I'm as giddy, I'm as giddy as a drunken man.
01:15:33I never, oh.
01:15:35A merry Christmas, Ebenezer.
01:15:38You old humbug.
01:15:42And a happy new year.
01:15:43As if you deserved it.
01:15:45A merry Christmas, Mrs. Dilber.
01:15:48Thank you, sir.
01:15:49Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you.
01:15:50And many, many of them.
01:15:52Look what!
01:15:54Look what!
01:15:57Look, Mrs. Dilber.
01:16:00There's the corner where the spirit of Christmas presents sat.
01:16:02And there's the door where Jacob Marley's ghost came through.
01:16:05And there's the window where I saw the wandering spirit.
01:16:07It's right, it's true, it all happened.
01:16:09I don't know what day of the month it is.
01:16:11I don't know how long I've been amongst the spirit.
01:16:13I don't know anything.
01:16:14I never did know anything.
01:16:16But now I know that I don't know anything.
01:16:19I must stand in my head.
01:16:28I must stand in my head.
01:16:29Come back!
01:16:34Come back!
01:16:35Come back!
01:16:36Come back!
01:16:38Come back!
01:16:39Help!
01:16:39Help!
01:16:40Help!
01:16:40Help!
01:16:41Help!
01:16:41Please, please, Mrs. Dilber.
01:16:42I am not mad.
01:16:43Even if I look...
01:16:44Don't be followed, Mr. Scrooge, sir!
01:16:46You force me to scream for the beetle!
01:16:47The beetle, madam!
01:16:48I think for the beetle!
01:16:49A guinea?
01:16:50Here, what for?
01:16:52I'll give you one guess.
01:16:53To keep me mouth shut.
01:16:54Hmm?
01:16:55To keep me mouth shut.
01:16:56No, no, no, no, no, Mrs. Dilber.
01:16:59It's for a Christmas present.
01:17:01A Christmas present?
01:17:02For me?
01:17:03Of course, for you.
01:17:04I'll give you one guess.
01:17:05To keep me mouth shut.
01:17:06A guinea?
01:17:07Here, what for?
01:17:08I'll give you one guess.
01:17:09To keep me mouth shut.
01:17:10Oh, no, no, no, no, Mrs. Dilber.
01:17:17It's for a Christmas present.
01:17:22A Christmas present?
01:17:26For me?
01:17:29Of course, for you.
01:17:32A merry, merry Christmas.
01:17:35Dear Mrs. Dilber, how much do I pay you?
01:17:39Two shillings a week.
01:17:41What?
01:17:42Two shillings?
01:17:43It's forthwith raised to ten.
01:17:45Ten shillings a week, dear.
01:17:47You're sure you don't want to see a doctor?
01:17:49A doctor, certainly not.
01:17:50Nor the undertaker.
01:17:51Now off you go and enjoy yourself.
01:17:53Like a good girl.
01:17:54Boop your uncle!
01:17:57Merry Christmas, Mr. Scrooge.
01:18:00And keep him with the situation.
01:18:09Oh, the bells.
01:18:11Oh, the very, very bells.
01:18:21What a beautiful morning.
01:18:26Hello there.
01:18:27Hello.
01:18:28You, you boy.
01:18:29You.
01:18:30Who, me?
01:18:31Yes, you.
01:18:32Do you know who the butcher is in the next street with one?
01:18:34I should hope so.
01:18:36An intelligent boy.
01:18:38What a remarkable boy.
01:18:39Tell me.
01:18:40They sold the price turkey that was hanging there.
01:18:42Not the little turkey, the big one.
01:18:43The one as big as me?
01:18:45Yes.
01:18:46A delightful boy.
01:18:48Yes, my buck.
01:18:49The one as big as you.
01:18:50It's hanging there still.
01:18:51Is it?
01:18:52Very well then.
01:18:53Go and buy it.
01:18:54What?
01:18:55Claire?
01:18:56No, no, no.
01:18:57Wait a minute.
01:18:58Wait a minute.
01:18:59I'm in earnest.
01:19:00Tell the butcher to bring it here and I'll give him the name of the party he has to send
01:19:02it to.
01:19:03Come back with the butcher and I'll give you a shilling.
01:19:07Come back with him in less than five minutes and I'll give you half a crown.
01:19:11What an enchanting boy.
01:19:17I'll send it to Bob Cratchit.
01:19:19That's what I'll do.
01:19:20He'll never dream where it came from.
01:19:21Now I'll see.
01:19:22I must have a label.
01:19:23Label, label, label, label, label, label.
01:19:26Ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:19:29It's twice the size of Tiny Ten.
01:19:35Mr. Robert Cratchit, 2 Porter Street, Camden Town.
01:19:39That's you, Robert.
01:19:40These ways there's no one else I know of.
01:19:43I think I know who sent it.
01:19:45Who?
01:19:46Who?
01:19:47Mr. Scrooge.
01:19:48Oh, dear, oh, dear.
01:19:50Whatever made you think it might be him.
01:19:52I don't know.
01:19:53I just think it.
01:19:55What would make Mr. Scrooge take such leave of his senses suddenly?
01:20:01Christmas.
01:20:02In Scrooge town where I was born, there was a fair maid dwelling, made of free youth.
01:20:12cry well a day.
01:20:13Her name was Barbara Allen.
01:20:26There was a fair maid dwelling
01:20:29Made every youth cry well a day
01:20:34Her name was Barbara Allen
01:20:38All in the merry month of May
01:20:43When green bulbs they were swelling
01:20:46Young Jeremy Blue on his dead bed lay
01:20:52For love of Barbara Allen
01:20:57So slowly, slowly she came up
01:21:02And slowly she came by him
01:21:06And all she said when there she came
01:21:12Young man, I think
01:21:16Uncle Ebenezer
01:21:21Fred, is it too late to accept your invitation to dinner?
01:21:26Too late? I'm delighted, delighted
01:21:28My dear, look who it is
01:21:30Can you forgive a pig-headed old fool
01:21:45For having no eyes to see with, no ears to hear with
01:21:49All these years
01:21:51Bless you, dear Uncle
01:21:58You've made Fred so happy
01:22:01Oh, bless you
01:22:07Dennis, poker
01:22:09Bravo, Akutu! Bravo!
01:22:22Come on, everybody!
01:22:24Everybody!

01:22:26And I'll show you
01:22:31I'll show you
01:22:32Bravo, Akutu!
01:22:33Bravo!
01:22:34Come on everybody!
01:22:36Give me money!

01:23:44Hatchet!
01:23:45You're late.
01:23:46Sir...
01:23:47What do you mean by coming in here this time of day, hmm?
01:23:50I'm very sorry, sir.
01:23:52I...
01:23:53I am behind my time, sir.
01:23:56You are indeed.
01:23:58Step this way, Mr. Gretchen, please.
01:24:01It's only once a year, sir.
01:24:03It won't be repeated.
01:24:05I was making rather merry yesterday, sir.
01:24:09Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
01:24:10I'm sure you were.
01:24:12Well, we won't beat about the bush, my friend.
01:24:15I'm not going to stand this sort of thing any longer.
01:24:18Which leaves me no alternative...
01:24:20but to raise your salary.
01:24:22I haven't taken leave of my senses, Bob.
01:24:28I've come to them.
01:24:30From now on...
01:24:31I want to try to help you to raise that family of yours.
01:24:35If you'll let me.
01:24:37Hmm.
01:24:38Hmm.
01:24:39Well...
01:24:40We'll...
01:24:41We'll talk it over later, Bob.
01:24:42Over a...
01:24:43Over a bowl of hot punch.
01:24:44Hmm?
01:24:45Hmm.
01:24:46Meanwhile, you...
01:24:47You just go and put some more coal in that fire.
01:24:50And you go straight out and buy a new coal scuttle.
01:24:53Yes, and you do that before you dot another I, Bob Crackett.
01:24:56Hmm.
01:24:57Huh.
01:24:58Huh.
01:24:59Huh.
01:25:00Huh.
01:25:01Huh.
01:25:02Huh.
01:25:03Huh.
01:25:04Huh.
01:25:05Huh.
01:25:06Huh.
01:25:07Huh.
01:25:08Huh.
01:25:09Huh.
01:25:10Huh.
01:25:12Huh.
01:25:13Huh.
01:25:14Huh.
01:25:15Huh.
01:25:16Huh.
01:25:17Oh, I don't deserve
01:25:24to be so happy.
01:25:27Huh.
01:25:30I can't help it.
01:25:31Huh.
01:25:32I...
01:25:33I...
01:25:34Just can't help it.
01:25:37Scrooge was better than his word.
01:25:39He became as good a friend, as good a master,
01:25:42and as good a man as the good old city ever knew,
01:25:45or any other good old city, town, or borough in the good old world.
01:25:50And to Tiny Tim, who lived and got well again,
01:25:53he became a second father.
01:25:55Uncle Scrooge!
01:25:59And it was always said that he knew how to keep Christmas well
01:26:02if any man alive possessed the knowledge.
01:26:05May that be truly said of us and all of us.
01:26:08And so, as Tiny Tim observed,
01:26:11God bless us, everyone.
01:26:15God bless you, God bless you.
