Ebenezer Scrooge, a curmudgeonly, miserly businessman, has no time for sentimentality and largely views Christmas as a waste of time. However, this Christmas Eve, he will be visited by three spirits who will show him the error of his ways.

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.
00:02:42I'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, Nelson.
00:02:47Then why should you ask me for more time to pay it back?
00:02:49I can't take my wife to a debtor's prison.
00:02:52Then leave it 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.
00:02:57What 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. 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 for it as a middle of
00:03:09a heat wave in August bank holiday.
00:03:10Good afternoon.
00:03:25We offer you.
00:03:46Well, 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.
00:04:02At this festive season of the year, Mr. Scrooge, it is more than usually desirable that we should make some
00:04:08slight 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 to stop them in their useful
00:04:30course.
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 to buy the poor some meat and drink and means
00:04:40of warmth.
00:04:41Why?
00:04:42Because it is at Christmas time that want is most keenly felt and abundance rejoices.
00:04:47What 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.
00:04:58I help to support the establishments I have mentioned.
00:05:01Those who are badly off must go there.
00:05:03Many 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?
00:05:16No.
00:05:17It 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.
00:05:24Come here.
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 or beg a mortgage, Uncle.
00:05:40Only to wish you a Merry Christmas.
00:05:42Keep Christmas in your own way and leave me to keep it in mine.
00:05:44But 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 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, if you won't take my word for it?
00:06:02Come and dine with us tomorrow.
00:06:04No, thank you.
00:06:06But why? Why?
00:06:07Why did you marry against my wishes?
00:06:09Because I fell in love.
00:06:11You fell in love?
00:06:13With a woman as penniless as yourself? Oh, good evening.
00:06:16We've never had any quarrel that I've ever been party to.
00:06:19I asked nothing of you.
00:06:20I came here in the spirit of right goodwill and 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 and all the small assorted Cratchits?
00:06:39Very well, sir, thank you.
00:06:40All champing at the bit for Christmas to begin, eh?
00:06:42Oh, yes, sir. All very eager.
00:06:44And the little lame boy, which one is he?
00:06:47Tim, 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.
00:08:01Come along, Tim, my dear.
00:08:02I've got to go.
00:08:05Did you have a lovely time with me in all the wonderful things?
00:08:08Yes, thank you, Mama.
00:08:09Did you get a big goose?
00:08:09Yes, the biggest goose you ever did see.
00:08:12As big as you and as fat as a beetle.
00:08:14Wait till it was.
00:08:15His eyes would pop right out of his head, dear.
00:08:17We'll get all about worried old Mr. Scrooge.
00:08:22You're not feeling too tired, are you, dear?
00:08:25Not a bit, Mama.
00:08:26Oh, sure, he'll carry you home on his shoulder.
00:08:29Yes, I love having you all right on his shoulder.
00:08:32Mr. Scrooge will keep him working in that cold little room just as late as he possibly can.
00:08:37Mr. Scrooge will keep him working in that cold little room just as late as he possibly can.
00:08:40Mr. Scrooge will keep him working in that cold little room just as late as he possibly can.
00:08:48Mr. Scrooge will keep him working in that cold little room.
00:09:13You want the whole day off tomorrow, I suppose.
00:09:16If quite convenient, sir.
00:09:17Not convenient.
00:09:19And it's not fair.
00:09:21If I stopped you half a crown for it, 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.
00:09:39They've put their hearts into Christmas, as it were, sir.
00:09:42Yes, and put their hands in my pocket, as it were, sir.
00:09:45I suppose you better have the whole day.
00:09:47I'll be back all the earlier next morning.
00:09:49I will indeed, sir.
00:09:50Thank you, sir.
00:09:50It's more than generous of you, sir.
00:09:52Yes, I know it is.
00:09:53You don't have to tell me.
00:09:55Merry Christmas, sir.
00:09:59Merry Christmas, sir.
00:10:00You, a clerk, and 15 shillings a week with a wife and a family, talking about a Merry Christmas.
00:10:06I'll retire to Bedlam.
00:10:34I'll retire to Bedlam.
00:10:37Waiter.
00:10:39Yes.
00:10:40More bread.
00:10:42Take me extra, sir.
00:10:48No more bread.
00:10:49No, sir.
00:11:09No more bread.
00:11:13Scrooge.
00:11:27Jacob Marley.
00:11:43μμνΈμ§.
00:11:44No more bread.
00:11:46No more bread.
00:11:54No bread.
00:11:55No bread.
00:11:57No bread.
00:11:59No bread.
00:12:01No bread.
00:12:14Let's go.
00:12:32Come on!
00:12:35Come on!
00:12:37Come on!
00:12:39Come on!
00:12:41Come on!
00:12:44Love you.
00:13:13Scrooge.
00:13:14Scrooge.
00:13:40Scrooge.
00:13:41Scrooge.
00:13:43Scrooge.
00:14:05Let's go.
00:14:52Who are you?
00:14:53Ask me who I was.
00:14:55All right, all right, who were you then?
00:15:02In life, I was your partner, Jacob Marge.
00:15:13What do you want with me?
00:15:20Marge.
00:15:24In that case, can you sit down?
00:15:28I can.
00:15:29Well, do it then.
00:15:44You don't believe in me.
00:15:46I don't.
00:15:49Why do you doubt your senses?
00:15:52Because a little thing affects them.
00:15:54A 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.
00:16:09There's more of gravy than of gravy than you.
00:16:13Whatever you are.
00:16:19Do you see that tooth break?
00:16:20I do.
00:16:27You're not looking at it.
00:16:29But I see it notwithstanding.
00:16:34Oh.
00:16:37Well then, I've just got to swallow this and I'll be tortured for the rest of my life by a
00:16:42legion of hobgoblins.
00:16:44All of my own creation.
00:16:46It's all humbug, I tell you.
00:16:53I see it notwithstanding man of the worldly mind.
00:16:58Do 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.
00:17:13If it goes not forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death.
00:17:18It is doomed to wander through the world.
00:17:24And witness what it cannot share but might have shared on earth.
00:17:30And turn to happiness.
00:17:33Why are you fitted?
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 heaven and as long as this.
00:18:03Seven Christmas eves ago and you have labored on it since.
00:18:07You are my bitter.
00:18:08It is a ponderous chain.
00:18:11Mark me.
00:18:13In life my spirit never rode beyond the limits of our money changing home.
00:18:18Now I am doomed to wander without rest or peace.
00:18:23Incessant torture and remorse.
00:18:26But it was only that you were a good man of business, Jacob.
00:18:30Business!
00:18:32Mankind 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 Ebenezes.
00:18:56Thank you, Jacob.
00:18:58You were always a good friend of mine.
00:19:01You will be visited by three spirits.
00:19:05What?
00:19:07Was that the chance of hope that you mentioned, Jacob?
00:19:11It was.
00:19:13In that case, never mind.
00:19:16I think I would rather not.
00:19:18Without their visits you cannot hope to shun the path I tread.
00:19:24Expect 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?
00:20:02They seek to interfere for good in human matters and have lost their power forever.
00:20:37Help...
00:20:39Help...
00:20:39Help...
00:20:39Help...
00:20:44Help...
00:21:01Come on.
00:21:17Come on.
00:21:49Come on.
00:21:59Are you the spirit whose coming was foretold to me?
00:22:03I am.
00:22:06Who and what are you?
00:22:09I am the ghost of Christmas past.
00:22:13Long past?
00:22:14No, your past.
00:22:20What is your business here with me?
00:22:23Your welfare.
00:22:26My welfare?
00:22:28Your reclamation then.
00:22:32Take heed.
00:22:34Rise and walk with me.
00:22:49Through the window.
00:22:51Are you afraid?
00:22:54I...
00:22:55But I...
00:22:56I am immortal and liable to fall.
00:23:00Bear but a touch of my hand and you shall be upheld in more than this.
00:23:27You know this place.
00:23:29You know this place.
00:23:35No, we are here.
00:23:37Look.
00:23:38There's my old school.
00:23:41How lonely and deserted it looks.
00:23:43Not quite deserted.
00:23:45A solitary boy yourself, Ebenezer, forgotten by his friends is left there still.
00:23:51I knew.
00:24:17I knew.
00:24:20What about you?
00:24:30Ebenezer?
00:24:31Oh a fan!
00:24:34A fan within you?
00:24:42Oh dear.
00:24:43I have come to bring you home, home, home, home.
00:24:49Yes, home for good Lord, home 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.
00:25:04You see, it was 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.
00:25:13Perhaps 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.
00:25:20I 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 the 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.
00:25:36Well, then you must live forever, Fan.
00:25:39Nobody else ever cared for me. Nobody else ever will.
00:25:43You must live forever, Fan.
00:25:45Oh, dear brother, what nonsense.
00:25:47Everyone 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.
00:25:58Will you bring down Master Scrooge's box?
00:26:06Yes.
00:26:06Our sister was always a delicate creature whom a breath might have withered.
00:26:10But she had a large heart.
00:26:12She had.
00:26:13She died a married woman and had, I think, children.
00:26:17One child.
00:26:18True, your nephew.
00:26:21She died giving him life.
00:26:24Your mother died giving you life for which your father never forgave you.
00:26:29As if you were to blame.
00:26:54You recall this, no doubt.
00:26:57Recall it?
00:26:57Why, bless my son.
00:26:59It's old physicals.
00:27:07I was apprenticed here.
00:27:15Look, there's old Fezzerwick and Mrs. Fezzerwick.
00:27:17Top couple.
00:27:25Oh, was there ever a kind of man?
00:27:28And yet, what has this party cost him in your mortal money?
00:27:31Three 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.
00:27:40It was 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.
00:27:57Turn and see yourself in love, Ebenezer Scrooge.
00:28:02It'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.
00:28:09Oh, 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 yourself.
00:28:18Of course not.
00:28:20You're still so young, you may have a change of heart one day.
00:28:23Dearest Alice, if ever I have a change of heart towards you, it'll be because my heart has ceased to
00:28:30beat.
00:28:31And it makes no difference that I'm poor.
00:28:33I love you because you're poor, not proud and foolish.
00:28:39Will you always feel like that?
00:28:42As long as I live.
00:28:44Longer.
00:28:45Forever and ever.
00:28:49Then...
00:28:50I accept your ring, Alice.
00:28:56Beneath it.
00:28:59God bless you, Alice.
00:29:07From now to eternity, we two are as one.
00:29:11I've seen enough.
00:29:12Yet more awaits you.
00:29:14I won't look.
00:29:14You shall.
00:29:16Now see yourself in business, Ebenezer.
00:29:18Come, 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.
00:29:33We small traders are all history, Mr. Fezziwig.
00:29:36Dodos.
00:29:36Yes, sir, I dare say we are.
00:29:38And 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. Jorkin.
00:29:47Well, if it isn't, I'd like you to tell me what you do spend a lifetime building up a business
00:29:51for.
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.
00:30:12There's more in life than money, sir.
00:30:16Oh, excuse me, Mr. Fezziwig, sir.
00:30:17Yes, 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.
00:30:36They 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... 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, but...
00:30:51Well, perhaps the machines aren't such a good thing for mankind after all.
00:30:55Oh, saging onions, my dear fellow. Ha, gammon and spinach.
00:30:59Why, suppose I told you you could get twice the salary 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. What would you say to that, eh?
00:31:11Well, I... I'd still say money wasn't everything, sir.
00:31:15Oh, well, 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.
00:31:37Yes, here.
00:31:43Fan.
00:31:44It's me, your brother.
00:31:48Do you know me?
00:31:54Lebanese.
00:31:57They sent for you.
00:32:00You promised me.
00:32:01No.
00:32:06Promise you what, Fan?
00:32:07I'll promise you anything, dearest.
00:32:10Only there isn't going to be any need.
00:32:14You're going to get well again, Fan.
00:32:17No.
00:32:18You are. You are.
00:32:20Dear God, you must.
00:32:23Fan, you... you can't die.
00:32:27Fan, you mustn't die.
00:32:31You're going to get well again, Fan.
00:32:33Fan, you're going to get well again.
00:32:35I love you, Susan.
00:32:40That's it, me.
00:32:48I love you.
00:32:50I love you.
00:32:51It's a great day.
00:32:51I love you,μ, Natalie.
00:32:51You want to get away from me...
00:32:51... Ooo, Son, I love you.
00:33:05You make his son.
00:33:09Oh, how could you have brought me here?
00:33:13Have you no mercy, no pity?
00:33:14Ebenezer.
00:33:16Brother.
00:33:19Ebenezer.
00:33:22Promise me you'll take care of my boy.
00:33:30Promise me you'll take care of my boy.
00:33:51You heard her.
00:33:54Forgive me, Fenn.
00:33:56Forgive me.
00:33:58Forgive me, Fenn.
00:34:01Forgive me, Fenn.
00:34:23I can't get you hazΔ±r obligation for you.
00:34:24Well, there you are, my buck.
00:34:25That's where you start.
00:34:27You can work your way on up as high as the dome of St Paul's cathedral.
00:34:29if you have a mind to do so.
00:34:31Control the cash box and you control the world.
00:34:35By 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? Starting with a clean slate. Good.
00:34:45And now let me introduce you to your fellow clerk, Mr. Marley.
00:34:50Just a moment, please.
00:34:53Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge, the new clerk.
00:34:55Mr. Jacob Marley, our wizard of the accounts.
00:34:58Your servant, Mr. Marley. Your 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. Well, I'll leave you to it.
00:35:12Thank you. The place no doubt seems new and strange to you.
00:35:15Somewhat.
00:35:17The world is on the verge of new and great changes, Mr. Scrooge.
00:35:20Some of them, if necessity, will be violent.
00:35:22Do you agree?
00:35:24Oh, I think the world's becoming a very hard and cruel place, Mr. Marley.
00:35:28One must steal oneself to survive it.
00:35:31Not be crushed under with the weak and the infirm.
00:35:34I think we have many things in common, Mr. Scrooge.
00:35:37I hope so, Mr. Marley.
00:35:47You will find him, Mr. Spiney.
00:35:50Oh Michael, I will find him.
00:36:14Oh, excuse me, Mr. Scrooge, sir.
00:36:16Yes?
00:36:16Pardon the liberty, but do you know if I'm to have kept on here, sir?
00:36:19What's your present salary?
00:36:20Five shillings a week, sir.
00:36:22You can stay for four shillings a week.
00:36:24Yes, sir.
00:36:24Thank you, sir.
00:36:26Isn't that old fuzzy week?
00:36:56Alice, the same Alice you swore to love to all eternity, Ebenezer.
00:37:03She is not changed by the harshness of the world,
00:37:08but you are.
00:37:10Then you no longer love me.
00:37:13You no longer love me.
00:37:15When have I ever said that?
00:37:16In words, never.
00:37:18Well, in what then?
00:37:19In the way you have changed.
00:37:21But how have I changed towards you?
00:37:23By changing towards the world.
00:37:25But is it such a terrible thing for a man to struggle with something better than he is?
00:37:30Another idol has replaced me in your heart.
00:37:33A golden idol.
00:37:34It's singular.
00:37:35The world that can be so brutally cruel to the poor professes to condemn the pursuit of wealth in the
00:37:39same breath.
00:37:40You fear the world too much.
00:37:41With reason.
00:37:43But I am not changed towards you.
00:37:46Aren't you?
00:37:51Our promise is an old one.
00:37:53It was made when we were both poor and content to be so.
00:37:58If you had never made that promise, tell me, would you seek me out and try to win me now?
00:38:06Of course I would.
00:38:08No.
00:38:10If you were free today, would you choose a direless girl with neither wealth nor social standing?
00:38:15You, who now weigh everything by gain, would bring you nothing but repentance and regret.
00:38:24That is why I release you.
00:38:31You know I'm right, then.
00:38:32I must bow to your conviction that you are.
00:38:38May you be happy in the life you have chosen.
00:38:41I shall be it.
00:38:46Goodbye.
00:39:06Show me no more.
00:39:08But I told you, these were but shadows of the things that have been.
00:39:12That they are what they are, do not blame me.
00:39:14Take me away.
00:39:15Very well.
00:39:16But we have not done yet, Ebenezer Scrooge.
00:39:19We do but turn another page.
00:39:31And as your business prospered, Ebenezer Scrooge, a golden idol took possession of your heart, as Alice said it would.
00:39:42May we hear those figures, Mr. Snedgrid, at your pleasure?
00:39:45Certainly, Mr. Groeper.
00:39:47Well, gentlemen, after 17 years of existence, the Amalgamated Mercantile Society's books show the startling figures of a liability of
00:39:543,200 pounds, eight shillings and tempence, and a total asset of 11 pounds, eight shillings and tempence.
00:40:03Well, 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.
00:40:16I will so beat my wife and skewer innocent babies when in my cups.
00:40:20Take 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 11 pounds on.
00:40:41And to pack me off to Botany Bay would be poor compensation for the panic that would arise among the
00:40:46shareholders.
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?
00:41:02Bankruptcy 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.
00:41:13Are 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
00:41:21which 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 skinned Jack catch alive and he'd never know they'd done it.
00:41:32Can we hear the proposition?
00:41:35Should I have a spokesman?
00:41:38Mr. Marley and myself are prepared to make good out of our own private resources.
00:41:44A sum of money appropriated by Mr. Jorking.
00:41:48Reprieved.
00:41:50Reprieved.
00:41:50Curfew shall not bring to light, Mr. Snedrick.
00:41:53Order, order.
00:41:53In return, we 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, if you wish to save the fair name of the company
00:42:07by accepting their generous offer, they become the company.
00:42:11Never, never, out of the question.
00:42:16And also, out of order, Mr. Scrooge.
00:42:41And also, out of order, Mr. Scrooge.
00:42:53Pardon me, if you can find the grace, too.
00:42:56I've just come from Mr. Marley's with a message for Mr. Scrooge.
00:43:00Can I give it to him?
00:43:02Well, please, your great kind self, dear.
00:43:05I'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,
00:43:13he should nip 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.
00:43:21He's breathing very queer when he does breathe at all.
00:43:30Excuse me, Mr. Scrooge, sir.
00:43:31I'm so 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.
00:43:37Well, the message was for you to go at once, sir.
00:43:40It is now quarter to five.
00:43:41The business of the office is not yet finished.
00:43:43I shall go when the office is closed.
00:43:44At seven o'clock.
00:43:45Yes.
00:43:51He'll come at seven.
00:43:54Try and get Mr. Marley to hold out till then, I'm sure.
00:43:59Much obliged.
00:44:00Good night to you.
00:44:06And a merry Christmas,
00:44:08if it ain't how to keep him with the situation.
00:44:11The same to you.
00:44:52I 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 a place without him, sir.
00:45:02Why, should it be any more odd than it was with him?
00:45:05We've all got to die, Cratchit.
00:45:08I suppose you'll be wanting the whole day off tomorrow, as usual.
00:45:11If quite convenient, sir.
00:45:14Every Christmas you say the same thing.
00:45:17And every Christmas it's just as inconvenient as it was the Christmas before.
00:45:20Good night.
00:45:21Good night, sir.
00:45:40Good night.
00:45:51Who's that, the doctor?
00:45:53No, sir. The undertaker.
00:45:57You don't believe in letting the grass grow under your feet, do you?
00:46:00Ours is a highly competitive profession, sir.
00:46:04Is it dead yet?
00:46:05I'll have another look if you like.
00:46:07No, don't bother.
00:46:09I'll see for myself.
00:46:35I'll see for you, sir.
00:46:35Jacob, well, have they, have they sinned to you properly?
00:46:40Last rites and all that, hmm?
00:46:45There's, uh, there's nothing I can do, hmm?
00:46:52Oh?
00:46:54What, particularly?
00:47:00Well, there's still time.
00:47:05Time?
00:47:07Time for what?
00:47:12We, we've been wrong.
00:47:14Huh?
00:47:16Wrong.
00:47:17Wrong?
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.
00:47:28Oh, better if it comes to that.
00:47:30You mustn't reproach yourself, Jacob.
00:47:34We are wrong.
00:47:35What?
00:47:41Save yourself.
00:47:44What?
00:47:45Save myself?
00:47:47Save myself from what?
00:47:50Hmm?
00:47:52Speaker.
00:47:54Speaker.
00:48:13You say date?
00:48:18Yes, sir.
00:48:21Just like you say it.
00:48:22I almost know.
00:48:41One shadow more.
00:48:43No. No 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 fueled mean sticks of furniture?
00:49:06Did you feel a little pity for him?
00:49:09Look at her face, Elisa.
00:49:11A face of a wrenching, grasping, scraping covetous old sinner.
00:49:19No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
00:49:31Oh, my God.
00:50:02Come in. Come in there, Mr. Lutz. I await you.
00:50:07Yes, I know. I'm coming.
00:50:10Come in. Come in. I'm coming.
00:50:41Come in. Come in. Come in. I know me that a man. I am the spirit of Christmas present. Look
00:50:51upon me. You've never seen the like 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?
00:51:05I'm too old. I'm beyond hope. Go and redeem some younger, more promising creature and leave me to keep Christmas
00:51:14in my own way.
00:51:16Mortal, 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
00:51:30of the year, but in all the days of the year.
00:51:32You have chosen not to seek him in your heart. Therefore you shall come with me and seek him in
00:51:37the hearts of men of good will.
00:51:40Come. Touch my robe.
00:52:00What place is this?
00:52:02A place where miners live who labor in the bowels of the earth. But they know me. Come.
00:52:10Come.
00:52:20Come.
00:52:43Why?
00:52:44Why, it's Cratchit. It's Bob Cratchit.
00:52:54He's coming, Mother. Father's here with Tiny Tim.
00:52:57Oh, dear Martha, you hide and we'll tell if you've been held up and who knows when you'll be here
00:53:02to hide.
00:53:02Yes, go and hide.
00:53:03Oh, but it's where?
00:53:05Behind this gallery door, quickly, Martha.
00:53:21A merry Christmas.
00:53:28Why?
00:53:30Where's our Martha?
00:53:31Oh, 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.
00:53:46Is the pudding still singing in the copper, Peter?
00:53:49Yes, come here.
00:53:50You come too, Mary and Belinda.
00:53:53You 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 and have a nice warm.
00:54:01The Lord bless you.
00:54:02We had such a deal of work to finish up last night, but 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 and thinks the strangest things you ever heard.
00:54:20He told me he wasn't going to feel shy if people looked at him because he was a cripple.
00:54:25As it might be pleasant to them, being in church, to remember upon Christmas Day who made lame beggars walk
00:54:31and blind men see.
00:54:32He's growing strong and hearty, though, Martha, my dear.
00:54:36Isn't he, my love?
00:54:45Spirit, tell me will... will tiny Tim live?
00:54:49I see a vacant seat in the door chimney corner and a crutch without an owner, carefully preserved.
00:54:56If these shadows remain unaltered by the future, none other of my race shall find him now.
00:55:02Oh, no.
00:55:03No.
00:55:05The dying spirit, say that he will be spared.
00:55:09Why?
00:55:10If he'd be like to die, he'd better do it and decrease the surplus population.
00:55:20Well, my little cock sparrow, he has your own stool by the fire all ready for you.
00:55:26There's such a goose, Martha.
00:55:29I'm sure of it.
00:55:30And a pudding.
00:55:32Oh, the pudding.
00:55:33I shan't be easy till it's eaten.
00:55:35I confess I have my doubts about the quantity of flour.
00:55:38It'll be a perfect pudding, my love.
00:55:41A perfect pudding.
00:55:43Won't it, Martha, my dear?
00:55:45Hey, Tim?
00:55:45It'll be the finest pudding in the whole of London this Christmas.
00:55:48And 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, thank 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.
00:56:05There, bravo.
00:56:07There's bounty for you.
00:56:08I declare I'd like to know how many families of our acquaintance could boast two rounds of the best gin
00:56:13punch.
00:56:13Now, everybody got his drink?
00:56:16Yes.
00:56:17Good.
00:56:18But before I give the toast, I have a piece of momentous information for all.
00:56:22And Master Peter in particular.
00:56:25Master Peter?
00:56:26Why, that's you, Peter.
00:56:27What is it, Father?
00:56:28I'm your tenant.
00:56:30Master Peter, now grown to full estate and dignity, a son of the house, and looking every inch the grand
00:56:36fellow 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.
00:56:50You'll be quite independent gentlemen 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.
00:57:03God bless us.
00:57:04Everyone.
00:57:08I give you Mr. Scrooge, the 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.
00:57:19My 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
00:57:26as Mr. Scrooge.
00:57:27But you know he is Robert.
00:57:28Nobody knows it better than you do, poor fellow.
00:57:30My dear, Christmas day.
00:57:35Now drink his health for your sake and the day's, not 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.
00:57:55He 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, 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.
00:58:11Nor do I.
00:58:12I hate him.
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 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.
00:58:39Have you, Tupper?
00:58:40Alas, as a bachelor, I'm a wretched outcast with no right to express an opinion on such a tender and
00:58:46delicate subject.
00:58:47Have I?
00:58:48Dear, distant, unmovable, Miss Flora.
00:58:52Now, you really are quite incorrigible, Mr. Tupper.
00:58:57Quite beyond hope.
00:59:15I have not charity. I am become a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.
00:59:21And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
00:59:26and though I have all faith so that I could remove mountains and have not charity,
00:59:31I am nothing.
00:59:33Do you feel more rested now, my dear?
00:59:36I do. Bless your dear, gentle heart.
00:59:41Alas.
00:59:42Do you know me, darling?
00:59:43I never thought there was anyone like you left in the whole wide world.
00:59:49Cut me throff, ripped me liver from telling a lie.
00:59:51This is the happiest Christmas I ever had.
01:00:03Alas.
01:00:06Alas.
01:00:11Spirit, are these people real or are the shadows?
01:00:14They're real. We're the shadows.
01:00:17Both of us.
01:00:18Did 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?
01:00:48It is too hard a lesson for you to learn.
01:00:51Then learn this lesson.
01:00:59Spirit, 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.
01:01:07This girl is want.
01:01:10Beware them both.
01:01:11But most of all, beware this boy.
01:01:14But are there no refuge?
01:01:16No resource?
01:01:17Are there no prisons?
01:01:19Are there no workhouses?
01:01:21Are there no prisons?
01:01:23Are there no workhouses?
01:01:26Are there no prisons?
01:01:28Are there no workers?
01:01:30Are there no prisons?
01:01:32Are there no workers?
01:01:35Are there no prisons?
01:01:36Are there no workers?
01:01:50I am in the presence of the spirit of Christmas yet to come.
01:01:55And you're going to show me shadows of things that have not yet happened but will happen.
01:02:01Spirit of the future, I fear you more than any other spectre I've seen.
01:02:05But even in my fear, I must tell you, I am too old.
01:02:09I cannot change.
01:02:11It is not that I am impenitent.
01:02:14It is not that I...
01:02:18Wouldn't it be better if I just went home to bed?
01:02:22No.
01:02:26Lead me then.
01:02:46He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings thou shalt trust.
01:02:50His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
01:02:54Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrows at night.
01:02:58Flyeth by day.
01:03:00A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand.
01:03:04But it shall not come nigh thee.
01:03:07For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
01:03:12Because 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.
01:03:21Because 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.
01:03:31He shall call upon me, and I will answer him.
01:03:34I will be with him in trouble.
01:03:37I will deliver him and honour him.
01:03:41Shall I stop reading?
01:03:43No, no.
01:03:44It's only the colour.
01:03:45It hurts my eyes.
01:03:48They'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.
01:03:57He must be near his time.
01:04:00Faster, rather.
01:04:01But he seems to be walking a little slower than he used these last few evenings.
01:04:06I've known him walk with Tiny Tim on his shoulder very fast indeed.
01:04:10So have I.
01:04:12Often.
01:04:12But so have I.
01:04:14So have I.
01:04:15But then he was very light to carry, and his father loved him, so it was no trouble.
01:04:20No trouble.
01:04:33No trouble.
01:04:33Well, let's go.
01:04:34I'm a little late, my dear.
01:04:35Please forgive me.
01:04:36You must be cold and tired, sitting near the fire.
01:04:39No, 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, and very quiet and still.
01:04:54It was strange, but as I stood there, I felt his hand open.
01:04:57and 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.
01:05:09Truly happy now,
01:05:11and that we will cease to grieve for him and try to be happy too.
01:05:20Oh dear, my darling dear.
01:05:25Oh, Robert. Oh, Robert.
01:05:58Hello, Joe.
01:06:00Huh?
01:06:01Oh, Joe.
01:06:02Well, come on.
01:06:04No, let the laundress go first.
01:06:06No, no, dear. You was here first.
01:06:08After you, I'm sure.
01:06:12Oh, look, old Joe, he's a chance.
01:06:14If a child lady and the laundress and the undertaker
01:06:17haven't all met here at the same time without meaning, ain't it?
01:06:20Well, we 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, just till I shut the door of the shop, eh?
01:06:34Just shut the door of the shop.
01:06:36Oh, it's creaks.
01:06:39There's not a rusted piece of metal in the face like its own hinges.
01:06:42And I'm sure there are no old bones here like mine.
01:06:45We're all suitable to our call, eh?
01:06:49We're all well-matched.
01:06:51Come into the parlor, eh?
01:06:52Come into the parlor.
01:06:57Who goes first?
01:06:58What odds, now?
01:06:59We're all met at the once.
01:07:01Everyone'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.
01:07:07Why, 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,
01:07:25why 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,
01:07:31instead of lying gasping out his last there alone be himself.
01:07:34There never was a tour word spoke.
01:07:36There was a judgment on him.
01:07:38I wish it was a little heavier one,
01:07:39and it would have been
01:07:40if 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, Jo.
01:07:49No, no, I'll go first.
01:07:51Just to show we all got trust in one another.
01:07:54It's very polite of you, I do grant, I'm sure.
01:08:01Watch, fob, see you, pencil case, sleeve buttons, broach.
01:08:08Yes.
01:08:10Eight cillings, this lot,
01:08:11and I wouldn't give you another sixpence.
01:08:13Not if I was boil for life for not doing it.
01:08:18Who's next?
01:08:21Always the lady, dear.
01:08:23I shall have to insist you all stop and watch mine,
01:08:26now that we're so open and above with each other.
01:08:29Two sheets.
01:08:30Two towels.
01:08:32Shirt.
01:08:33Teaspoons.
01:08:34Two silver.
01:08:35Sugar tongs.
01:08:37Flutes assorted.
01:08:38Power.
01:08:40Here.
01:08:41Seventeen and six.
01:08:42I 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.
01:08:49If you asked for another penny,
01:08:51made it an open question,
01:08:53I'd regret me liberality.
01:08:55Knock off half a crown.
01:08:57Now open my bundle, Jo.
01:09:00Come on, watch it eat.
01:09:01Ah.
01:09:02Eh?
01:09:02You wait and see.
01:09:04Yeah.
01:09:08Bed curtains.
01:09:10Bed curtains?
01:09:11Ah.
01:09:12Bed curtains.
01:09:14Don't you say you took these down, rings and all,
01:09:18and, oh, him lying there?
01:09:21Yes, I do.
01:09:22Why not?
01:09:24You was born to make a fortune, ma'am,
01:09:27and you certainly will.
01:09:29I certainly won't hold back my hand when I can get something in it.
01:09:32For the sake of such a man as he was, I promise you, Jo.
01:09:35At least his blankets, too.
01:09:36Who's else, do you think?
01:09:37He ain't likely to take cold without him, I dare say.
01:09:41He didn't have anything catching, did he?
01:09:43Oh, don't you be afraid of that.
01:09:45Yeah.
01:09:45I wasn't too fond of his company,
01:09:46I'd loiter about him for such things if he did.
01:09:50And you can look through that till your eyes open,
01:09:52you won't find a hole in it.
01:09:54It's the best one he had, and a fine one, too.
01:09:56They'd have wasted it if 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 than what he did in this one.
01:10:14It's poetic justice.
01:10:16He frightened everybody away from him when he was alive,
01:10:19and 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.
01:10:33When 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.
01:10:38So did he, I dare say.
01:10:40What's he done with all his money?
01:10:42Left it to his company.
01:10:43Where else?
01:10:44He didn't leave it to me.
01:10:46That's all I know.
01:10:47Well, the funeral won't cost much that certain.
01:10:50Upon my soul, I can't think of anyone who'll go to it.
01:10:52I don't mind going, if there's a luncheon provided.
01:10:55But I must be fed.
01:10:57Or else I stay at home.
01:11:05I know those men.
01:11:07They're men of business, very wealthy, very important.
01:11:11Whose funeral were they talking about?
01:11:17Strange.
01:11:19My usual place is over there, under the clock.
01:11:22I ought to be there this time of day.
01:11:25But I'm not.
01:11:27I'm not.
01:11:47I'm not.
01:11:50Before I draw nearer to that stone, answer me one question.
01:11:53Are these the shadows of things that must be?
01:11:57Or are the only shadows of things that might be?
01:12:08I know that men's deeds foreshadow certain ends.
01:12:12But if the deed's been departed from, surely the ends will change.
01:12:16Tell me to serve as what to show me now.
01:12:18Tell me to serve as what you show me now.
01:12:34But you are waiting for you now.
01:12:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:12:54no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:12:54no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:12:54no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:12:54no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:12:55no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
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 hand in 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.
01:13:22I'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.
01:13:40I'm not the man...
01:14:16Good morning, sir.
01:14:19Tell me, what day is it?
01:14:22What day?
01:14:23What's Christmas Day, of course, sir?
01:14:25Christmas Day, Christmas Day, Christmas Day.
01:14:27Then 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?
01:14:35Of course, they 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 now.
01:15:04Everything's here.
01:15:07I'm here.
01:15:10And the shadows of things that would be can still be dispelled.
01:15:14And they will be.
01:15:15I know they will be.
01:15:16I know.
01:15:19I don't know what to do.
01:15:21I'm as light as a feather.
01:15:24I'm as happy as an angel.
01:15:26I'm as merry as a schoolboy.
01:15:29I'm as giddy.
01:15:30I'm as giddy as a drunken man.
01:15:32I never...
01:15:35Merry Christmas, Ebenezer.
01:15:38You old humbug.
01:15:42And Happy New Year.
01:15:43As if you deserved it.
01:15:45Merry Christmas, Mrs. Dilber.
01:15:49Thank you, thank you, thank you.
01:15:50And many, many of them...
01:15:54Mark was!
01:15:56Yes.
01:15:58Look, 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.
01:16:04And there's the window where I saw the wandering spirit.
01:16:07It's right.
01:16:07It's true.
01:16:08It all happened.
01:16:08There, no, no, I 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.
01:16:20I don't know anything.
01:16:21I never did know anything.
01:16:23But now I know that I don't know.
01:16:25All of my Christmas morn, I must stand in my head.
01:16:28I must stand in my head.
01:16:30Ha ha ha!
01:16:34Come back.
01:16:34Come back.
01:16:44Please, please, Mr. Dilber. I am not mad.
01:16:52Don't be followed, Mr. Scrooge, sir. You force me to scream for the beetle.
01:16:56The beetle, madam. I think for the beetle.
01:17:01A guinea?
01:17:04Here, what for?
01:17:06I'll give you one guess.
01:17:08To keep me mouth shut.
01:17:10Hmm?
01:17:12To keep me mouth shut.
01:17:15No, no, no, no, Mr. Dilber. It's for a Christmas present.
01:17:21A Christmas present?
01:17:26For me?
01:17:29Of course, for you.
01:17:32A merry, merry Christmas.
01:17:35Dear Mrs. Dilber.
01:17:38How much do I pay you?
01:17:40Two shillings a week.
01:17:42What? Two shillings?
01:17:44It's forthwith raised to ten.
01:17:46Ten shillings a week here?
01:17:48You sure you don't want to see a doctor?
01:17:50A doctor, certainly not, nor the undertaker.
01:17:52Now off you go and enjoy yourself.
01:17:54Like a good girl.
01:17:56Boop your uncle.
01:17:58Boop your uncle.
01:18:00Merry Christmas, Mr. Scrooge.
01:18:03And keep him with the situation.
01:18:10Oh, the bells.
01:18:12Oh, very, very bells.
01:18:21What a beautiful morning.
01:18:27Hello there, hello.
01:18:28You, you boy, you.
01:18:29Who, me?
01:18:31Yes, you.
01:18:32Do you know who the butcher is in the next treatment one?
01:18:35I should hope so.
01:18:37An intelligent boy.
01:18:39What a remarkable boy.
01:18:40Tell me, they sold the price turkey that was hanging there, not the little turkey, the big one.
01:18:44The one as big as me?
01:18:46Yes.
01:18:51It's hanging there still.
01:18:52Is it?
01:18:53Very well then, go and buy it.
01:18:55Whoa, Claire.
01:18:56No, no, no.
01:18:57Wait a minute, wait a minute.
01:18:58I'm in earnest.
01:18:59Tell 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.
01:19:11An 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, let me see.
01:19:22I must have a label.
01:19:23Label, label, label, label, label, label.
01:19:25Label.
01:19:29It's twice the size of tiny tail.
01:19:34Mr. Robert Cratchit, 2 Porter Street, Camden Town.
01:19:39That's you, Robert.
01:19:40These places 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.
01:19:49Oh, 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.
01:20:16Oh, dear.
01:20:18Oh, dear.
01:20:19Oh, dear.
01:20:22In Scarlett's town where I was born, there was a fair maid dwelling.
01:20:30May 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 dreamers they were swelling
01:20:46Young Jenny broke on his deathbed lay
01:20:52For love of Barbara Allen
01:20:57So slowly, slowly she came up
01:21:03And slowly she came by him
01:21:07And all she said, whether she came
01:21:12Young man, I think
01:21:17Oh!
01:21:20Uncle Ebenezer!
01:21:23Fred, is it too late to accept your invitation to dinner?
01:21:27Too late? I'm delighted, delighted!
01:21:29My dear, look who it is!
01:21:43Can you forgive a pig-headed old fool
01:21:46For having no eyes to see with, no ears to hear with
01:21:49All these years
01:21:56Yes, dear uncle
01:21:58You've made Fred so happy
01:22:05Oh, bless you
01:22:08Dennis, poker
01:22:31Bravo!
01:22:33Bravo!
01:22:35Come on, everybody!
01:22:36Everybody!
01:22:37Everybody!
01:22:39Ooh, ooh!
01:22:46Ooh!
01:22:46Ooh!
01:22:49Ooh!
01:22:50Ooh!
01:23:00Listen!
01:23:02Um, no.
01:23:03All these ones
01:23:05Oh, buddy!
01:23:06Two people
01:23:07You're looking
01:23:44Mr. Cratchit, 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. Cratchit, please.
01:24:02It'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.
01:24:12Well, 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 but to raise your salary.
01:24:39I 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.
01:24:49If you'll let me.
01:24:54Well, we'll talk it over later, Bob.
01:24:56Over a bowl of hot punch.
01:25:03Meanwhile, you, you just go and put some more coal in that fire.
01:25:07You go straight out and buy a new coal scuttle.
01:25:10Isn't you do that before you dot another I, Bob Cratchit?
01:25:23Oh, I don't deserve to be so happy.
01:25:29I can't help it.
01:25:33I just can't help it.
01:25:37Scrooge 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.
01:25:45Or any other good old city, town or borough in the good old world.
01:25:49And to tiny Tim, who lived and got well again,
01:25:53he became a second father.
01:25:55Uncle Scrooge!
01:25:58And it was always said that he knew how to keep Christmas well
01:26:02if any man alive possessed the knowledge.
01:26:04May 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 us, everyone.
