00:18Hello ladies and gentlemen, well I've been assigned one of the most pleasant tasks I've
00:25ever known. I'm going to introduce to you a character I've loved for many years.
00:33Strangely enough, when you first meet him, you're going to loathe the very sight of him.
00:38He's mean and grasping. He's hard-hearted and tight-fisted. As miserable an old windbag
00:45as ever faked to sneeze when the collection plate goes by. He'll probably remind many
00:52of you of your landlord. But you, as I did, and millions before us are going to grow to
00:59love him. Hesitantly, at first I was Ned, but finally he'll overwhelm your heart and be off
01:06with it. His name is Scrooge. The famous Dickens character, Ebenezer Scrooge, of A Christmas
01:13Carol. Old Scrooge is played on the screen by Reginald Owen. And Reginald is Old Scrooge,
01:22just exactly as Dickens conceived him. And as you and your children know him and love him.
01:46I'm broke.
01:48I'm broke.
02:20THE END
02:43THE END
