Short filmTranscript
00:02:00Are you off home to keep Christmas?
00:02:02I am not in a habit of keeping Christmas, sir.
00:02:03Then 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 a nature of things.
00:02:10That ants toil and grasshoppers sing and play, Mr. Scrooge.
00:02:13An ant is what it is and a grasshopper is what it is.
00:02:15And Christmas, sir, is a humbug.
00:02:17Good day.
00:02:17Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
00:02:28Mr. Scrooge, sir.
00:02:29Who are you?
00:02:29Samuel Wilkins, sir.
00:02:32Oh, yes.
00:02:33You owe me a little matter of 20-odd pounds, I believe.
00:02:36Well, 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.
00:02:43I'm not surprised.
00:02:44Not unless you give me more time.
00:02:45Did I ask you for more time to lend you the money?
00:02:47Oh, Nelson.
00:02:47Then 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, you did.
00:02:57What has your wife got to do with it?
00:02:59For that matter, what have I got to do with it?
00:03:00Good afternoon.
00:03:01Mr. Struge, it's Christmas.
00:03:03Christmas has even less to do with it, my dear son,
00:03:04than your wife has or I have.
00:03:06You'd still owe me 20 pounds
00:03:07if you're not in the position to repay
00:03:09for it as a middle of a heat wave
00:03:09and August bank holiday.
00:03:10Good afternoon.
00:03:13We offer you.
00:03:43Well, 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
00:03:59by his surviving partner.
00:04:02At this festive season of the year, Mr. Scrooge,
00:04:05it is more than usually desirable
00:04:07that we should make some slight provision
00:04:09for 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,
00:04:23they're still in full vigor, I presume.
00:04:24Both very busy, sir.
00:04:26Oh, from what you said at first,
00:04:28I 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 endeavoring to raise a fund
00:04:37to buy the poor some meat and drink
00:04:39and means of warmth.
00:04:41Why?
00:04:42Because it is at Christmas time
00:04:43that want is most keenly felt
00:04:45and abundance rejoices.
00:04:47What can I put you down for?
00:04:51Nothing.
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,
00:04:58that is my answer.
00:04:59I help to support the establishments I have mentioned,
00:05:01those 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,
00:05:09they'd better do it
00:05:10and decrease the surplus population.
00:05:13Besides, it's not my business.
00:05:14Isn't it, sir?
00:05:16No.
00:05:17It is enough for a man
00:05:18to understand his own business
00:05:19without interfering with other people's.
00:05:21Mine occupies me constantly.
00:05:23Good afternoon, gentlemen.
00:05:31Who's that?
00:05:33Your nephew, Uncle.
00:05:36It's you, is it?
00:05:37Well, what do you want?
00:05:38Neither to borrow money
00:05:39or beg a mortgage, Uncle.
00:05:40Only to wish you a Merry Christmas.
00:05:42Keep Christmas in your own way
00:05:43and leave me to keep it in mine.
00:05:45But you don't keep it.
00:05:46Then let me leave it alone, then.
00:05:47Much good may do you to keep it.
00:05:49Much good it has ever done you.
00:05:51It's certainly done me no harm.
00:05:52No, your wayward nature has done that.
00:05:55And your marriage?
00:05:56My marriage was the making of me.
00:05:58The ruin of you, you mean?
00:05:59Why don't you come and see for yourself
00:06:01if you won't take my word for it?
00:06:02Come and dine with us tomorrow.
00:06:05No, thank you.
00:06:06But why?
00:06:07Why?
00:06:08Why did you marry against my wishes?
00:06:10Because I fell in love.
00:06:11You fell in love
00:06:12with a woman as penniless as yourself.
00:06:15Oh, good evening, dear.
00:06:16We've never had any quarrel
00:06:17that I've ever been party to.
00:06:19I ask nothing of you.
00:06:20I came here in the spirit of right goodwill
00:06:22and I won't let you dampen it.
00:06:23So a Merry Christmas to you anyway, Uncle.
00:06:25Good evening.
00:06:26And a Happy New Year.
00:06:27Good evening.
00:06:30Humbert!
00:06:36How is Mrs. Cratchit
00:06:37and all the small assorted Cratchits?
00:06:39Very well, sir, thank you.
00:06:40All champing at the bit
00:06:41for Christmas to begin, eh?
00:06:42Oh, yes, sir.
00:06:43All very eager.
00:06:45And the little lame boy.
00:06:46Which one is he?
00:06:48Tim, sir.
00:06:48That's right.
00:06:49How is he?
00:06:50We're in high hopes.
00:06:51He's getting better, sir.
00:06:52Good.
00:06:53A Merry Christmas to you.
00:06:54Thank you, sir.
00:06:55And a Merry Christmas to you, sir, I'm sure.
00:07:40Come along, dear, my dear.
00:08:03I've got the goose.
00:08:05Did you have a lovely time with you all the one, do you think?
00:08:08Yes, thank you, ma'am.
00:08:09Did you get a big goose?
00:08:10Yes, the biggest goose you ever did see.
00:08:12As big as you and as fat as a beetle.
00:08:14Wait till your father sees him.
00:08:16His eyes will pop right out of his head.
00:08:17He'll forget all about worried old Mr. Scrooge.
00:08:23You're not feeling too tired, are you, dear?
00:08:25Not a bit, ma'am.
00:08:26Your father was here.
00:08:27He'd carry you home on his shoulder.
00:08:29Yes, I love having a ride on his shoulder.
00:08:32Yes, well, Mr. Scrooge will keep him working in that cold little room just as late as he possibly can.
00:08:37That was evil note, that was easy.
00:08:39They're all over.
00:08:40All over.
00:08:43Okay.

00:13:19Scrooge.
00:13:49Scrooge.
00:13:54Scrooge.
00:13:56Scrooge.
00:13:57Scrooge.
00:13:58Scrooge.
00:13:59Scrooge.
00:14:04Scrooge.
00:14:06Scrooge.
00:15:08Look up, ma'am.
00:15:13What do you want with me?
00:15:19Ma'am.
00:15:24In that case...
00:15:27Can you sit down?
00:15:28I can.
00:15:30Well, do it then.
00:15:30You don't believe in me.
00:15:46I don't.
00:15:47Why do you doubt your senses?
00:15:52Because a little thing affects them.
00:15:55A slight disorder of the stomach makes them cheat.
00:15:59You, you might be an undigested bit of beef.
00:16:03A piece of cheese.
00:16:06A fragment of an underdone potato.
00:16:08You, there's more of gravy than a grave in you.
00:16:13Whatever you are.
00:16:19Do you see that?
00:16:20I do.
00:16:22I'm not looking at it.
00:16:30But I see it, notwithstanding.
00:16:35Oh.
00:16:35Well then, I've just got to swallow this and I'll be tortured for the rest of my life by a legion of hobgoblins.
00:16:44All of my own creation.
00:16:47It's all humbug, I tell you.
00:16:48Man of the worldly mind, do you believe in me or not?
00:17:00Yes, I do, I do, I do, I do.
00:17:02I must.
00:17:04But why do you walk the earth?
00:17:06And why do you come to me?
00:17:08It is required of every man that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow men.
00:17:14If it goes not forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death.
00:17:18It is doomed to wander through the world.
00:17:21Oh, it will be.
00:17:25And witness what it cannot share but might have shared on earth and turn to happiness.
00:17:33Why, you're bitter.
00:17:34I wear the chain I forged in life.
00:17:37I made it link by link and yard by yard.
00:17:41I girded it on of my own free will and of my own free will.
00:17:48I wore it.
00:17:50You have my sympathy.
00:17:53Ah, you do not know the weight and length of strong chain you bear yourself.
00:18:00It was full as heavy and as long as this.
00:18:03Seven Christmas eves ago and you have labored on it since, sir.
00:18:08It is a ponderous chain.
00:18:12Mark me in life.
00:18:14My spirit never rode beyond the limits of our money-changing home.
00:18:18Now I am doomed to wander without rest or peace, incessant torture and remorse.
00:18:27But it was only that you were a good man of business, Jacob.
00:18:31Business?
00:18:32Yes, mankind was my business.
00:18:35Their common welfare was my business.
00:18:39And it is at this time of the rolling year I suffer most.
00:18:44Hear me.
00:18:45My time is nearly gone.
00:18:47I come tonight to warn you that you have yet a chance and hope of escaping my fate.
00:18:53A chance and hope of my procuring Ebenezer.
00:18:57Thank you, Jacob.
00:18:58You were always a good friend of mine.
00:19:02You will be visited by three spirits.
00:19:05What?
00:19:07Was that the chance of hope that you mentioned, Jacob?
00:19:12It was.
00:19:12Oh, well, in that case, never mind.
00:19:16I think I'd rather not.
00:19:18Without their visits, you cannot hope to shun the path I tread.
00:19:23Expects the first when the bell tolls one.
00:19:35Look to see me no more.
00:19:40But look here, that you may remember, for your own sake, what has passed between us.
00:19:53Why do they lament?
00:20:02They seek to interfere for good in human matters that have lost their power forever.
00:20:16They seek to interfere for good in human matters.
00:20:38They seek to interfere for good in human matters.
00:20:43Oh, my God.
00:21:13Oh, my God.
00:21:43Are you the spirit whose coming was foretold to me?
00:22:03I am.
00:22:04Who and what are you?
00:22:09I am the ghost of Christmas past.
00:22:13Long past?
00:22:15No, your past.
00:22:16What is your business here with me?
00:22:23Your welfare.
00:22:26My welfare.
00:22:29Your reclamation, then.
00:22:33Take heed, rise, and walk with me.
00:22:37Through the window.
00:22:51Are you afraid?
00:22:52I, I, I am immortal and liable to fall.
00:23:01Bear but a touch of my hand and you shall be upheld in more than this.
00:23:06Oh, my God heavens.
00:23:28You know this place.
00:23:29Do it.
00:23:31I was a boy here.
00:23:32They are but shades of the things that have been.
00:23:35They do not know we are here.
00:23:37Look.
00:23:39There's my old school.
00:23:41How lonely and deserted it looks.
00:23:44Not quite deserted.
00:23:45A solitary boy yourself, Ebenezer, forgotten by his friends, is left there still.
00:23:50I knew.
00:23:53I knew.
00:24:20Ebenezer.
00:24:32Oh, the fan.
00:24:41Oh, dear brother.
00:24:43I have come to bring you home.
00:24:45Home, home, home.
00:24:49Yes.
00:24:50Home for good and all.
00:24:51Home for ever and ever.
00:24:53Father is so much kinder than he used to be that home is like heaven.
00:24:58For you, perhaps, but not for me.
00:25:01He doesn't know me nor even what I look like.
00:25:05Same as I hardly know you now that you're quite a woman.
00:25:10Mama must have looked as you look now just before she died.
00:25:14Perhaps that is what has changed his mind towards you.
00:25:17He spoke to me so gently one night when I was going to bed.
00:25:20But 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.
00:25:27And you're never to come back here anymore.
00:25:29And you're never to be lonely again.
00:25:32Never to be lonely again.
00:25:34Never as long as I live.
00:25:37Well, then you must live forever, fan.
00:25:40Nobody else ever cared for me.
00:25:41Nobody else ever will.
00:25:43You must live forever, fan.
00:25:45Oh, dear brother, what nonsense.
00:25:48Everyone loves you very much.
00:25:50You must forgive, papa, and forget the past.
00:25:52For our dearest mother's sake.
00:25:55Oh, fan.
00:25:57There.
00:25:59Bring down Master Scrooge's box.
00:26:06Our sister was always a delicate creature whom a breath might have withered.
00:26:10But she had a large heart.
00:26:13She had.
00:26:13She died a married woman and had, I think, children.
00:26:18One child.
00:26:19True.
00:26:19Your nephew.
00:26:21She died giving him life.
00:26:24As your mother died giving you life,
00:26:27for which your father never forgave you,
00:26:29as if you were to blame.
00:26:30You recall this, no doubt.
00:26:57Recall it?
00:26:58Why, bless my soul.
00:26:59It's old physicality.
00:27:00I was apprenticed here.
00:27:16Look, there's old Fezerwig and Mrs. Fezerwig.
00:27:17The top couple.
00:27:25Oh, was 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,
00:27:39and everybody who knew him,
00:27:41was as great as if it had cost a fortune.
00:27:43What's the matter?
00:27:45What's the matter?
00:27:47Nothing.
00:27:48Something, I think.
00:27:49No, no, no.
00:27:51Just that I'd like to have a word with my own clerk, Bob Tretchard, 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.
00:28:17Well, for you, sir, of course not.
00:28:19You're still so young, you may have a change of heart one day.
00:28:24Dearest Alice, if ever I have a change of heart towards you,
00:28:28it'll be because my heart has 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?
00:28:42Well, as long as I live.
00:28:44Longer.
00:28:45Forever and ever.
00:28:48Then,
00:28:48I accept your ring, Alice.
00:28:57Ebenezer.
00:28:59God bless you, Alice.
00:29:07From now to eternity, we two are as one.
00:29:11I've seen enough.
00:29:13Yet more wait.
00:29:14I won't look.
00:29:14You shall.
00:29:15Now 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.
00:29:29Which is the age of the machine and the factory and the vested interests.
00:29:32We small traders are all history, Mr. Fezziwig.
00:29:36Dodos.
00:29:37Yes, sir.
00:29:37I dare say we are.
00:29:39And the offer is a very large one, I have to admit.
00:29:42But it's not just for money alone that one spends a lifetime building up a business, Mr. Jorkin.
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. Jorkin.
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.
00:30:13There'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?
00:31:11Well, I'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.
00:31:35No, spirit, not here.
00:31:38Yes, here.
00:31:40Fan, it's me, your brother.
00:31:49Do you know me?
00:31:55Lebanese.
00:31:55They sent for you.
00:31:59You promised me.
00:32:06Promise 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.
00:32:35You're going to get well again.
00:32:35Fan.
00:32:59Fan.
00:32:59How could you have brought me here?
00:33:13Have you no mercy, no pity?
00:33:14Ebenezer.
00:33:16Brother.
00:33:19Ebenezer.
00:33:20You promised me you would take care of my boy.
00:33:29You promised me you would take care of my boy.

00:39:16very well but we have not done yet ebenezer scrooge
00:39:20we do but turn another page
00:39:32and as your business prospered ebenezer scrooge a golden idol took possession of your heart
00:39:38as alice said it would
00:39:42may we hear those figures mr snedgrid at your pleasure
00:39:45certainly mr grouper well gentlemen after 17 years of existence the amalgamated mercantile
00:39:51society's books show the startling figures of a liability of three thousand two hundred pounds
00:39:56eight shillings and tempence and a total asset of eleven pounds eight shillings and tempence
00:40:03but at least the tendencies cancel each other out how much of this is the company's capital all of
00:40:09it mr rosebud in short sir you're not only a bankrupt you're an embezzler of the company's funds
00:40:15i also beat my wife and skewer innocent babies when in my cups take a very cool attitude if i
00:40:22may say so sir so do mr scrooge and mr marley they're not facing prosecution for a capital
00:40:27offense oh but gentlemen it could have been any one of you we're all cutthroats under this fancy
00:40:32linen mr snedrig i must ask you to speak for yourself mr jorking what would you gain to prosecute
00:40:38me all you'll get out of it is about eleven pounds on and to pack me off to botany bay would
00:40:43be poor compensation for the panic that would arise among the shareholders panic sir yes panic would
00:40:50any of you gentlemen care to deny that if this juicy little scandal leaked out now the annual
00:40:55shareholders meeting would resemble an orchestra of scorched cats result bankruptcy all round strike
00:41:03that speech out of the minutes yes sir mr joking doesn't exaggerate the imprudence of allowing his
00:41:10misdemeanors to be made public are you in sympathy with mr jorkin by any chance mr scrooge
00:41:16not i confess with these methods but mr marley and i have a proposition to make to the
00:41:20representatives of the company which might solve some of the difficulties to our general advantage
00:41:25the devil you have you want to watch these two fellows you know they'd skin jack catch alive and
00:41:30he'd never know they've done it can we hear the proposition should i have a spokesman mr marley
00:41:39and myself are prepared to make good out of our own private resources sum of money appropriated by mr
00:41:47joking reprieved reprieved curfew shall not ring to light mr snedrig order order in return
00:41:55we wish to be allowed the option of buying up further shares in the company to a maximum of 51
00:42:02percent of the total in short gentlemen if you wish to save the fair name of the company by accepting
00:42:08their generous offer they become the company never never out of the question never never out of order mr
00:42:25so
00:42:27Pardon me, if you can find the grace, too.
00:42:56I just come from Mr. Marley's with a message for Mr. Scrooge.
00:43:00Oh, can I give it to him?
00:43:02Well, please, your great calm self, dear.
00:43:04I'm to say that Mr. Marley ain't expected to live through the night,
00:43:09and that if Mr. Scrooge wants to take his leave of him,
00:43:12he should nick along smartly,
00:43:14or there won't be no Mr. Marley to take leave of,
00:43:17as we know the use of the word.
00:43:20He's breathing very queer when he does breathe at all.
00:43:26Excuse me, Mr. Scrooge, sir.
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?
00:43:35If he's dying, he's dying.
00:43:36Well, the message was for you to go at once, sir.
00:43:39It is now quarter to five.
00:43:41The business of the office is not yet finished.
00:43:42I shall go when the office is closed, at seven o'clock.
00:43:45Yes, sir.
00:43:50He'll come at seven.
00:43:54I'll try and get Mr. Marley to hold out till then, I'm sure.
00:43:58Much obliged.
00:43:59Good night to you.
00:44:05And a merry Christmas,
00:44:07if it ain't how to keep him with the situation.
00:44:11The same to you.
00:44:40I hope you'll find Mr. Marley well, sir.
00:44:54I should think that's highly unlikely.
00:44:56Yes, I suppose so, sir.
00:44:58But it seems odd to think of the place without him, sir.
00:45:01Why should it be any more odd than it was with him, hmm?
00:45:04We've all got to die, Cratchit.
00:45:08I suppose you'll be wanting the whole day of 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.
00:45:20Good night.
00:45:21Good night.
00:45:31Good night.
00:45:53Who's that, Doctor?
00:45:55No, sir, the Undertaker.
00:45:56You don't believe in letting the grass grow under your feet, do you?
00:45:59Ours is a highly competitive profession, sir.
00:46:03Is it dead yet?
00:46:05I'll have another look if you like.
00:46:06No, don't bother.
00:46:08I'll see for myself.
00:46:29Oh, Jacob.
00:46:33Well, have they, have they seen to you properly?
00:46:36Last rites and all that, hmm?
00:46:42There's, there's nothing I can do, hmm?
00:46:50Oh?
00:46:52What, particularly?
00:46:59Well, there's still time.
00:47:05Time?
00:47:06Time?
00:47:07Time for what?
00:47:10We, we've been wrong.
00:47:13Huh?
00:47:15Wrong.
00:47:16Wrong?
00:47:18Oh.
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.
00:47:27All 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...
00:47:42yourself.
00:47:44What? Save myself?
00:47:47Save myself from what?
00:47:49Hmm?
00:47:52Speaker.
00:47:57you say date?
00:48:14Yes.
00:48:17Just now, you say it?
00:48:18Yes.
00:48:21Just knock your seat.
00:48:23I almost know.
00:48:42One shadow more.
00:48:43No.
00:48:44No more.
00:48:46I cannot bear it.
00:48:49Jacob Marley worked at your side for 18 years.
00:48:53He was the only friend you ever had.
00:48:56But what did you feel when you signed the register of his burial
00:49:00and took his money, his house, and his few mean sticks of furniture?
00:49:05Did you feel a little pity for him?
00:49:08Look at your face, Elisa.
00:49:11A face of a wrenching, grasping, scraping covetous old sinner.
00:49:18No, no, no, no, no.
00:49:29No, no, no.
00:49:31Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:49:54He, he, he, he, he, he.
00:50:01Come in, come in, Dermina Scrooge. I await you.
00:50:07Yes, I am. I'm coming.
00:50:10Come in. Come in. I'm coming.
00:50:31Come in. Come in, come in. And a minute, a man. I am the spirit of Christmas present. Look upon me. You've never seen the life of me before. Have you?
00:50:55Never. And I wish the pleasure had been indefinitely postponed.
00:51:00So? Is your heart still unmoved towards us then?
00:51:04I'm too old. I'm beyond hope. Go and redeem some younger, more promising creature. Leave me to keep Christmas in my own way.
00:51:15Mortal? We spirits of Christmas do not live only one day of our year. We live the whole 365.
00:51:24So is it true of the child born in Bethlehem. He does not live in men's hearts only one day of the year, but in all the days of the year.
00:51:31You have chosen not to seek him in your heart. Therefore you shall come with me and seek him in the hearts of men of good will.
00:51:40Come. Touch my robe.
00:51:43What place is this?
00:52:01A place where miners live, who labor in the bowels of the earth. But they know me. Come.
00:52:08And the spring is reconciled.
00:52:10Joy for all the nations rise.
00:52:14Joy for all the nations rise.
00:52:18Joy for all the giants rise.
00:52:22From the skies will dear these food predominate.
00:52:26Christ is born in Bethlehem.
00:52:28Oh, hero angels sing.
00:52:31Why, it's Cratchit.
00:52:46It's Bob Cratchit.
00:52:54He's coming, Mother.
00:52:55Father's here with Tiny Tim.
00:52:57Tim, you hide, and we'll tend to be held out
00:53:01and who knows when you'll be here.
00:53:02Yes, go and hide.
00:53:04Oh, it's where?
00:53:06Behind the scourge door, quickly, Mother.
00:53:21A merry Christmas.
00:53:23Why, where's our Martha?
00:53:32Oh, she's not coming.
00:53:34Not coming?
00:53:35Not coming on Christmas Day?
00:53:37Yes, I am, Father.
00:53:40I can't bear to let them tease you.
00:53:42Why, bless your heart.
00:53:44It never would have been Christmas if they'd kept you late.
00:53:47Is the pudding still singing in the copper, Peter?
00:53:49Yes, come here.
00:53:50You come too, Mary and Belinda.
00:53:54You come along as well, Martha.
00:53:55Come and hear the pudding singing in the copper.
00:53:57I'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,
00:54:05but 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.
00:54:11How did little Tim behave in church?
00:54:13As good as gold and better.
00:54:14Somehow he gets thoughtful sitting by himself so much
00:54:18and thinks the strangest things you ever heard.
00:54:20He told me he wasn't going to feel shy
00:54:23if people looked at him because he was a cripple,
00:54:25as 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.
00:54:33He's growing strong and hearty, though, Martha, my dear.
00:54:36Isn't he, my love?
00:54:37I 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.
00:55:05Tiny spirit.
00:55:06Say that he will be spared.
00:55:09Why?
00:55:11If he'd be like to die,
00:55:12he'd better do it and decrease the surplus population.
00:55:21Well, my little cock sparrow,
00:55:23he has 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.
00:55:31And pudding.
00:55:32Oh, the pudding.
00:55:34I shan't be easy till it's eaten.
00:55:35I 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?
00:55:45Ain't it?
00:55:45It'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 you.
00:56:00Take your turn, one and all, if you please.
00:56:03There's enough for one toast now and another after that.
00:56:05Good there.
00:56:06Bravo.
00:56:07There'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.
00:56:15Now, has everybody got his drink?
00:56:17Yes.
00:56:17Good, but before I give the toast, I 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 do you think, Father?
00:56:29You are a teller.
00:56:30Master Peter, now grown to full estate and dignity, a son of the house,
00:56:34and looking every inch the grand fellow he is, in one of my own collars.
00:56:40I have waited for this great moment to advise him that I have my eye on a situation for him
00:56:45which will bring in, if obtained, full five and sixpence weekly.
00:56:49Right.
00:56:50Flammy, you'll be quite independent gentleman now, Peter.
00:56:53What next, I wonder?
00:56:55Then a toast, my love, my dearies, to our merry Christmas.
00:57:00God bless us.
00:57:01God bless us.
00:57:02God bless us.
00:57:04Everyone.
00:57:08I give you Mr. Spruce, the founder of the feast.
00:57:12Oh, look!
00:57:13I wish I had him here now.
00:57:16I'd give him a piece of my mind to feast himself upon.
00:57:19My dear children, Christmas Day.
00:57:21It could only be on Christmas Day that I would drink the health of such a hard, stingy, 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, not for his.
00:57:40Long life to him.
00:57:41Merry 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.
00:58:00Well, a merry Christmas and a happy new year to the poor old man.
00:58:03He wouldn't let me wish it to him personally, but here it is nevertheless.
00:58:06Uncle Scrooge.
00:58:07Oh.
00:58:09Well, I don't know that our drinking to him will do him much good.
00:58:12Nor do I.
00:58:12I hate it.
00:58:13Oh, I forbid it.
00:58:14I'm sorry for it.
00:58:15I couldn't feel angry with him if I tried.
00:58:17Who suffers worse from his humours?
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.
00:58:30It 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.
00:58:39Have 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.
00:58:48Have I?
00:58:49Dear, distant, unmovable, Miss Flora.
00:58:52Now, you really are quite incorrigible, Mr. Tupper.
00:58:57Quite beyond hope.
00:58:58I am become a salding brass or a tinkling cymbal.
00:59:21And though I have the gift of prophecy
00:59:23and understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
00:59:27and though I have all faith so that I could remove mountains
00:59:30and 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 heart.
00:59:41Alas.
00:59:42Do you know me, darling?
00:59:43I never thought there was anyone like you
00:59:46left in the whole wide world.
00:59:49Cut me throff, rip me liver if I'm telling a lie.
00:59:52This is the happiest Christmas I ever had.
01:00:03Alas.
01:00:06Alas.
01:00:06Alas.
01:00:06Alas.
01:00:12Spirit, are these people real or are they shadows?
01:00:15They're real.
01:00:16We're the shadows.
01:00:17Both, Mr.
01:00:18Did you not cut yourself off from your fellow beings
01:00:21when 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.
01:00:38Will you profit by what I have shown you
01:00:41of 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,
01:00:52then learn this lesson.
01:00:58Spirit, are these yours?
01:01:01They are man's.
01:01:02They cling to me for protection from their fetters.
01:01:05This boy is ignorance.
01:01:08This girl is want.
01:01:10Beware them both.
01:01:11But most of all, beware this boy.
01:01:15But 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?
01:01:24Are there no workhouses?
01:01:26Are there no prisons?
01:01:28Are there no workhouses?
01:01:29I am in the presence of the spirit of Christmas yet to come.
01:01:53And you're going to show me shadows of things
01:01:57that have not yet happened but will happen.
01:02:01Spirit of the future, I fear you more than any other specter I've seen.
01:02:05But even in my fear, I must tell you,
01:02:07I am too old.
01:02:09I cannot change.
01:02:12It is not that I am impenitent.
01:02:14It is just that I...
01:02:15Oh, wouldn't it be better if I just went home to bed?
01:02:21No.
01:02:27Lead me then.
01:02:46He shall cover thee with his feathers,
01:02:48and under his wings thou shalt trust.
01:02:51His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
01:02:54Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night,
01:02:57nor for the arrow that flyeth by day.
01:03:00A thousand shall fall at thy side,
01:03:02and ten thousand at thy right hand.
01:03:05But it shall not come nigh thee.
01:03:07For he shall give his angels charge over thee,
01:03:10to keep thee in all thy ways.
01:03:12Because he has set his love upon me,
01:03:15therefore will I deliver him.
01:03:17I will set him on high,
01:03:19because he hath known my name.
01:03:21Because thou hast made the Lord which is my refuge,
01:03:24even the Most High thy habitation.
01:03:27There shall no evil befall thee,
01:03:30neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
01:03:32He shall call upon me,
01:03:33and I will answer him.
01:03:34I will be with him in trouble.
01:03:37I will deliver him and honour him.
01:03:42Shall I stop reading?
01:03:44No, no.
01:03:44It's only the colour.
01:03:45It hurts my eyes.
01:03:49They're better now.
01:03:50It makes them weak by candlelight.
01:03:54And I wouldn't show your father weak eyes
01:03:56when he comes home for the world.
01:03:58He must be near his time.
01:04:00Fast it, rather.
01:04:02But he seems to be walking a little slower than he used
01:04:04these last few evenings.
01:04:06Oh, I've known him walk with tiny Tim on his shoulder
01:04:09very 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,
01:04:17and his father loved him so that there was no trouble.
01:04:20No trouble.
01:04:33I'm a little late, my dear.
01:04:35Please forgive me.
01:04:37You 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.
01:04:49It's sheltered by green trees, my dear,
01:04:51and very quiet and still.
01:04:54It was strange, but as I stood there,
01:04:57I felt his hand slip in mine
01:04:58as 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
01:05:06that he's happy.
01:05:10Truly happy now,
01:05:11and that we must cease to grieve for him
01:05:14and try to be happy, too.
01:05:21Oh, dear.
01:05:22My tiny dear.
01:05:25Poor Robert.
01:05:26Poor Robert.
01:05:27Poor Robert.
01:05:28Poor Robert.
01:05:28Yes.
01:05:28Yes.
01:05:30Hello, Joe.
01:06:00Well, come on.
01:06:04Now, let the laundress go first.
01:06:06Now, now, dear.
01:06:07You was here first.
01:06:08After you, I'm sure.
01:06:12Oh, look, old Joe, he's a chance.
01:06:15If a child lady and the laundress and the undertaker
01:06:17haven't all met here at the same time
01:06:19without meaning it.
01:06:20Well, he couldn't have met in a better place.
01:06:22Let's go into the parlor.
01:06:23You were made free a bit long ago, eh?
01:06:26And the other two aren't strangers, eh?
01:06:29Wait a minute.
01:06:30Just like, shut the door of the shop, eh?
01:06:34Just shut the door of the shop.
01:06:37Oh, it's creaks.
01:06:39There's not a rusted piece of metal in the face
01:06:41like its own hinges.
01:06:42And I'm sure there are no old bones here like mine.
01:06:45Well, we're all suitable to our call, isn't they?
01:06:49We're all well matched.
01:06:51Coming to the parlor, eh?
01:06:53Coming to the parlor.
01:06:57Who goes first?
01:06:58What odds, now?
01:06:59We're all met at the once.
01:07:02Everyone's got a right to take care of themselves.
01:07:04He always did.
01:07:05Oh, that's true enough.
01:07:06No one more so.
01:07:08Why, then?
01:07:08Don't stand staring as if you was afraid, woman.
01:07:11Who's the wiser?
01:07:12We're not going to pick holes in each other's coats, I suppose.
01:07:14No, indeed.
01:07:15Oh, we hope not.
01:07:17Very well, then.
01:07:18Who's the worst for the loss of a few things like these?
01:07:20Not a dead man, I suppose.
01:07:22No, indeed.
01:07:23If he wanted to keep them after he was dead,
01:07:26why wasn't he amiable in his lifetime?
01:07:28If he had been, he'd have had somebody with him
01:07:30when he was struck with death,
01:07:32instead of lying gasping out his last there alone by himself.
01:07:35There never was a tour word spoke.
01:07:37There was a judgment on him.
01:07:38I wish it was a little heavier one.
01:07:40And it would have been if I could have laid my hands on anything else.
01:07:43We knew pretty well we was helping ourselves
01:07:45before we come here, I believe.
01:07:47It's no sin.
01:07:48Open the bundle, Joe.
01:07:49No, no.
01:07:50I'll go first.
01:07:51Just to show we all got trust in one another.
01:07:54It's very polite of you.
01:07:56I do grant, I'm sure.
01:08:02Watch.
01:08:03Fob.
01:08:04See you.
01:08:05Pencil case.
01:08:06Sleeve buttons.
01:08:07Brooch.
01:08:08Yes.
01:08:10Eight shillings, this lot,
01:08:11and I wouldn't give you another sixpence.
01:08:14Not if I was boiled for life for not doing it.
01:08:19Who's next?
01:08:21Always the lady, dear.
01:08:23I shall have to insist you all stop and watch mine,
01:08:27now that we're so open and above with each other.
01:08:29Two sheets, two towels, shirt, teaspoons, two silver,
01:08:35sugar tongs, flutes assorted, power.
01:08:39Here, seventeen and six.
01:08:43I always give too much to a lady, it's a weakness of mine.
01:08:46That's how I come to ruin meself.
01:08:48Here, if you ask for another penny,
01:08:52made it an open question,
01:08:53I'd regret me liberality.
01:08:55Knock on half a crown.
01:08:56Now open my bundle, Joe.
01:09:00Come on, watch it, it.
01:09:01Ah, you wait and see.
01:09:04Yeah.
01:09:09Bed curtains.
01:09:10Bed curtains?
01:09:12Ah, bed curtains.
01:09:14But do you,
01:09:15don't you say you took these down,
01:09:18rings and all,
01:09:19and, oh, him lying there?
01:09:21Yes, I do, why not?
01:09:24You was born to make a fortune, ma'am,
01:09:27and you, you certainly will.
01:09:29I certainly won't hold back my hand
01:09:31when I can get something in it.
01:09:33For the sake of such a man as he was,
01:09:34I promise you, Joe.
01:09:35This is blankets, too.
01:09:36Whose else do you think?
01:09:38He ain't likely to take cold without him,
01:09:40I dare say.
01:09:41He didn't buy anything catchy, did he?
01:09:43Oh, don't you be afraid of that.
01:09:45I wasn't too fond of his company,
01:09:47I'd loiter about him for such things if he did.
01:09:49And you can look through that
01:09:52till your eyes open,
01:09:52you won't find a hole in it.
01:09:54It's the best one he had,
01:09:55and a fine one, too.
01:09:57They'd have wasted it
01:09:58if it hadn't been for me.
01:10:00What do you mean, wasted it?
01:10:02Well, they'd have buried him in it, of course.
01:10:04But I took it off of him again,
01:10:06as if Calico ain't good enough for burying.
01:10:08Anyway, it's just as becoming to the body.
01:10:11He couldn't have looked uglier
01:10:12than what he did in this one.
01:10:14It's poetic justice.
01:10:17He frightened everybody away from him
01:10:19when he was alive,
01:10:20and now he benefits us when he's dead.
01:10:30No, I don't know much about it either way.
01:10:32I only know he's dead.
01:10:34When did he die?
01:10:35Last night, I believe.
01:10:36What was the matter with him?
01:10:37I thought he'd never die.
01:10:39So did he, I dare say.
01:10:41What's he done with all his money?
01:10:43Left it with company.
01:10:44Where else?
01:10:45He didn't leave it to me.
01:10:46That's all I know.
01:10:47Well, the funeral won't cost much, that's certain.
01:10:50Upon my soul,
01:10:51I can't think of anyone who'll go to it.
01:10:53I don't mind going,
01:10:54if there's a luncheon provided.
01:10:56But I must be fed,
01:10:57or else I stay at home.
01:10:59I know those men.
01:11:08They're men of business,
01:11:08very wealthy, very important.
01:11:11Whose funeral were they talking about?
01:11:17Strange.
01:11:20My usual place is over there,
01:11:21under the clock.
01:11:21I ought to be there this time of day.
01:11:25But I'm not.
01:11:28I'm not.
01:11:28I'm not.
01:11:28I'm not.
01:11:28Before I draw nearer to that stone,
01:11:52answer me one question.
01:11:54Are these the shadows of things that must be?
01:11:56Or are the only shadows of things that might be?
01:12:09I know that men's deeds foreshadow certain ends,
01:12:12but if the deeds have been departed from,
01:12:14surely the ends will change.
01:12:17Tell me to sew with what you show me now.
01:12:19I know that men's deeds foreshadow certain ends,
01:12:22but if the deeds have been departed from.
01:12:23I am not.
01:12:23I am not.
01:12:24I am not.
01:12:24I am not.
01:12:25I am not.
01:12:25I am not.
01:12:26Don't mess with that.
01:12:27I am not.
01:12:28I am not.
01:12:29I am not.
01:12:29I am not.
01:12:30I am not.
01:12:32I am not.
01:12:32No.
01:12:33I am not.
01:12:34I am not.
01:12:43My man.
01:12:43I am.
01:12:44No, no, no, no, Spirit, no, no, no, no.
01:12:54Tell me I'm not already dead.
01:12:56Tell me I'm not already dead.
01:12:58Tell me I'm not already dead.
01:13:02Thank you, Spirit.
01:13:04I'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 am beyond all hope?
01:13:11Oh, pity me, Spirit, pity me.
01:13:13And 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.
01:13:22And I'll change.
01:13:23I'm not the man I was.
01:13:25I'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 the man I was.
01:13:44I'm not the man I was.
01:14:14Oh.
01:14:16Good morning, sir.
01:14:19Tell me, what day is it?
01:14:22What day?
01:14:23What's Christmas day, Polster?
01:14:25Christmas day, Christmas day.
01:14:26Christmas day.
01:14:28Then I haven't missed it.
01:14:29The spirits must have done everything in one night.
01:14:33Of course, they can do anything, can't they?
01:14:36Of course I can.
01:14:45Are you quiet yourself, sir?
01:14:48What?
01:14:49I don't know.
01:14:52No, 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 tear them down and sell them.
01:15:03They're here.
01:15:04Everything's here.
01:15:05Oh, I'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.
01:15:18I don't know what to do.
01:15:21I'm as light as a feather.
01:15:24I'm as happy as an angel.
01:15:27I'm as merry as a schoolboy.
01:15:29I'm as giddy.
01:15:31I'm as giddy as a drunken man.
01:15:32I never...
01:15:33Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:15:35And merry Christmas, Ebenezer.
01:15:38You old humbug.
01:15:40Good.
01:15:41And a happy new year.
01:15:44As if you deserved it.
01:15:45Merry 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, Mr. Dilber, there'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 his spirits.
01:16:13I don't know anything.
01:16:15I never did know anything.
01:16:17But now I know that I don't know anything.
01:16:20I don't know anything.
01:16:21I never did know anything.
01:16:24But now I know that I don't know all of the Christmas morn.
01:16:27I must stand in my head.
01:16:29I must stand in my head.
01:16:34Come back.
01:16:35Come back.
01:16:37Come back.
01:16:39Mr. Dilber.
01:16:44Please, please, Mr. Dilber.
01:16:46I am not mad.
01:16:50Even if I look...
01:16:51Don't be followed, Mr. Scrooge, sir.
01:16:54You'll force me to scream for the beetle.
01:16:56The beetle, madam.
01:16:58I think for the beetle.
01:17:02A guinea?
01:17:05Here, what for?
01:17:06I'll give you one guess.
01:17:08To keep me mouth shut.
01:17:10Hmm?
01:17:11Oh, oh, oh.
01:17:12Oh, to keep me mouth shut.
01:17:14Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, Mrs. Dilber.
01:17:17It's for a Christmas present.
01:17:22A Christmas present?
01:17:26For me?
01:17:30Of course, for you.
01:17:33A merry, merry Christmas.
01:17:34Dear Mrs. Dilber.
01:17:37Oh, how much do I pay you?
01:17:41Two shillings a week.
01:17:42What?
01:17:42Two shillings?
01:17:44It's forthwith raised to ten.
01:17:46Ten shillings a week, dear.
01:17:48You're sure you don't want to see a doctor?
01:17:50A doctor, certainly not.
01:17:51Nor the undertaker.
01:17:52Now, off you go and enjoy yourself.
01:17:54Like a good girl.
01:17:57Boop you, aren't you?
01:18:00Merry Christmas, Mr. Scrooge.
01:18:03And keep me with the situation.
01:18:10Oh, bells.
01:18:12Oh, merry, merry bells.
01:18:14What a beautiful morning.
01:18:27Hello there.
01:18:28Hello, you.
01:18:28You, boy, you.
01:18:30Who, me?
01:18:31Yes, you.
01:18:32Do you know the butchers in the next street would want?
01:18:35I should hope so.
01:18:38An intelligent boy.
01:18:39A remarkable boy.
01:18:40Tell me, they sold the price turkey that was hanging there,
01:18:43not the little turkey, the big one.
01:18:44The one as big as me?
01:18:46Yes.
01:18:48Delightful boy.
01:18:49Yes, my buck, the one as big as you.
01:18:51It's hanging there still.
01:18:52Is it?
01:18:53Very well, then, go and buy it.
01:18:55What, Claire?
01:18:56No, no, no, wait a minute, wait a minute.
01:18:58I'm in earnest.
01:19:00Tell the butcher to bring it here,
01:19:01and I'll give him the name of the party he has to send it 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,
01:19:09and I'll give you half a crown.
01:19:12An enchanting boy.
01:19:13I'll send it to Bob Cratchit.
01:19:19That's what I'll do.
01:19:20He'll never dream where it came from.
01:19:22Now that I was here, I must have a label.
01:19:23Label, label, label, label, label, label.
01:19:26Label.
01:19:26It's twice the size of Tiny Ten.
01:19:32Mr. Robert Cratchit, 2 Porter Street, Camden Town.
01:19:38That's you, Robert.
01:19:40These traces 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.
01:19:49Oh, dear, oh, dear.
01:19:50Whatever made you think it might be him?
01:19:52I don't know.
01:19:54I 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 a free year of love.
01:20:16In Scrooge town, where I was born, there was a fair maid dwelling, made a free year of cry well a day.
01:20:34Her name was Barbara Allen.
01:20:38All in the merry month of May, when green fuzz, they were swelling, young Jenny Groove on his deathbed lay, for love of Barbara Allen.
01:20:57So slowly, slowly she came up, and slowly she came by him.
01:21:07And all she said, well, there she came, young man, I think.
01:21:17Oh.
01:21:20Uncle Ebenezer.
01:21:23Fred.
01:21:25Is it too late to accept your invitation to dinner?
01:21:27Too late?
01:21:28I'm delighted.
01:21:29Delighted.
01:21:30My dear, look who it is.
01:21:37Can you forgive a pig-headed old fool for having no eyes to see with, no ears to hear with, all these years?
01:21:57Bless you, dear uncle.
01:21:59You've made Fred so happy.
01:22:01Bless you.
01:22:06Bless you.
01:22:08Dennis, poker.
01:22:09Bravo, Alex!
01:22:33Bravo!
01:22:35Come on, everybody!
01:22:37Everybody!
01:22:39Come on!
01:22:44Come on.
01:22:49Come on.
01:23:00Come on.
01:23:34Mr. Gretchen, you're late.
01:23:47Sir, what do you mean by coming in here at this time of day, hmm?
01:23:51I'm very sorry, sir.
01:23:54I am behind my time, sir.
01:23:56You are indeed.
01:23:59Step this way, Mr. Gretchen, please.
01:24:00It's only once a year, sir.
01:24:04It won't be repeated.
01:24:06I was making rather merry yesterday, sir.
01:24:11I'm sure you were.
01:24:13Well, 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 but to raise your salary.
01:24:22I haven't taken leave of my senses, Bob.
01:24:42I've come to them.
01:24:44From now on, I want to try to help you to raise that family of yours.
01:24:50If you'll let me.
01:24:53Well, we'll talk it over later, Bob.
01:24:56Over a bowl of hot punch.
01:25:03Meanwhile, you just go and put some more coal in that fire.
01:25:07And you go straight out and buy a new coal scuttle.
01:25:11And you do that before you dot another I, Bob Crackett.
01:25:23I don't deserve to be so happy.
01:25:29I can't help it.
01:25:33I just can't help it.
01:25:35Scrooge was better than his word.
01:25:40He became as good a friend, as good a master,
01:25:43and as good a man as the good old city ever knew.
01:25:46Or 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.
01:25:56Uncle 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.
01:26:09And so, as tiny Tim observed,
01:26:11God bless us,
01:26:13everyone.
01:26:13God bless you, Mark.
01:26:22Yes, he was Allah.
01:26:23I'm sorry.
01:26:26Look at the world.
01:26:27I'm sorry.
