00:03:22Every day.
00:03:26We offer you.
00:03:47Hello.
00:03:48Have I the pleasure of addressing Mr. Scrooge or Mr. Marley?
00:03:51Mr. 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,
00:04:05it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the poor and destitute.
00:04:12Are there no prisons?
00:04:14Plenty of prisons.
00:04:16And the union workhouses, are they still in operation?
00:04:18They are. I wish I could say they were not.
00:04:21And the treadmill and the poor law, they're still in full vigour, 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 course.
00:04:30I'm very glad to hear it.
00:04:32I don't think you quite understand us, sir.
00:04:34A few of us are endeavouring to raise a fund to buy the poor some meat and drink and means of warmth.
00:04:40Why?
00:04:41Because it is at Christmas time that want is most keenly felt.
00:04:45An abundance rejoices.
00:04:47What can I put you down for?
00:04:49Nothing.
00:04:51You wish to be anonymous.
00:04:53I wish to be left alone.
00:04:55Since 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?
00:05:15No.
00:05:16It is enough for a man to understand his own business without interfering with other people's.
00:05:21Mine occupies me constantly.
00:05:23Good afternoon, gentlemen.
00:05:24Who's that?
00:05:25Your nephew, Uncle.
00:05:26Not you, is it?
00:05:27Well, what do you want?
00:05:28Neither to borrow money or beg a mortgage, Uncle.
00:05:29Only to wish you a Merry Christmas.
00:05:30Keep Christmas in your own way and leave me to keep it in mine.
00:05:32But you don't keep it.
00:05:33Then let me leave it alone, then.
00:05:34Much good may do you to keep it.
00:05:35Much good it has ever done you.
00:05:36It's certainly done me no harm.
00:05:37Yes, sir.
00:05:38No, your wayward nature has done that.
00:05:39And your marriage?
00:05:40My marriage was the making of me.
00:05:41The ruin of you, you mean?
00:05:42Why don't you come and see for yourself if you won't take my word for it?
00:05:43Come and dine with us tomorrow.
00:05:44No, thank you.
00:05:45Why?
00:05:46Why?
00:05:47Why?
00:05:48Why?
00:05:49Why?
00:05:50Why?
00:05:51Why?
00:05:52Why?
00:05:53Why?
00:05:54Why?
00:05:55Why?
00:05:56Why?
00:05:57Why?
00:05:58Why?
00:05:59Why?
00:06:00Why?
00:06:01Why?
00:06:02Why?
00:06:03Why?
00:06:04Why?
00:06:05Why?
00:06:06Why?
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?
00:06:13With a woman as penniless as yourself?
00:06:15Oh, good evening, dine.
00:06:16We've never had any quarrel that I've ever been party to.
00:06:19I ask 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.
00:06:28Humbert!
00:06:31Humbert!
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.
00:06:43All very eager.
00:06:44And the little lame boy.
00:06:46Which one is he?
00:06:47Oh, Tim, sir.
00:06:48That's right.
00:06:49How is he?
00:06:50Oh, we'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.
00:07:24Happy Thanksgiving today.
00:07:25Oh, hey.
00:07:26Oh, a merry Christmas to you.
00:07:27And you want to get your light to like this world?
00:07:28Oh, I can't wait.
00:07:29Oh, my God.
00:07:30And make for you.
00:07:31What if he warmth and you come here?
00:07:33Oh, my God.
00:07:34Oh, good for you.
00:07:34Oh, and no.
00:07:35Oh, my God.
00:07:37Oh.
00:07:38This year, hum.
00:07:39This year, hum.
00:07:43I make for you, sir.
00:07:43Oh, the embracing theme is that you are no longer holding.
00:07:48And the sibling mythical one is doing.
00:07:52Come along, Tim, my dear. I've got the goose.
00:07:59Did you have a lovely time looking at all the wonderful things?
00:08:02Yes, thank you. Did you get a big goose?
00:08:05Yes, the biggest goose you ever did see.
00:08:07As big as you and as fat as a beanstalk.
00:08:09Wait till your father sees it.
00:08:11His eyes will pop right out of his head
00:08:13and he'll forget all about orange old Mr. Scrooge.
00:08:16You're not feeling too tired, are you, dear?
00:08:18Not a bit, Mama.
00:08:20Your father was here and he'd carry you home on his shoulder.
00:08:22Yes, I love having a ride on his shoulder.
00:08:24Oh, Mr. Scrooge will keep him working in that cold little room
00:08:26just as late as he possibly can.
00:08:28Christmas Eve or no Christmas Eve, they all know.
00:08:30Oh, Mr. Scrooge will keep him working in that cold little room
00:08:32just as late as he possibly can.

00:14:45Who are you?
00:14:53Ask me who I was.
00:14:56All right, all right.
00:14:57Who were you then?
00:15:02In life, I was your partner.
00:15:06What do you want with me?
00:15:07Jacob, mom.
00:15:09What do you want with me?
00:15:14What do you want with me?
00:15:18In that case, can you sit down?
00:15:28I can.
00:15:29Well, do it then.
00:15:30You don't believe in me?
00:15:44You don't believe in me.
00:15:46I don't.
00:15:47I don't believe in you.
00:15:48Why do you doubt your senses?
00:15:52Because a little thing affects them.
00:15:53A slight disorder of the stomach makes them cheat.
00:15:57You, you might be an undigested bit of beef, a piece of cheese.
00:16:05It's a fragment of an underdone potato.
00:16:10There's more of gravy than of grave in you, whatever you are.
00:16:14I don't believe in you.
00:16:15I don't believe in you.
00:16:16Do you see that tooth breaking?
00:16:17I do.
00:16:18You're not looking at it.
00:16:21But I see it.
00:16:22Not withstanding.
00:16:23Oh.
00:16:24Well then, I've just got to swallow this and I'll be tortured for the rest of my life by
00:16:41a legion of hobgoblins.
00:16:43All of my own creation.
00:16:45It's all humbug, I tell you.
00:16:48I see it.
00:16:49I see it.
00:16:50I see it.
00:16:51I see it.
00:16:52I see it.
00:16:53I see it.
00:16:54I see it.
00:16:55Man of the worldly mind, do you believe in me or not?
00:16:59Yes, I do.
00:17:00I do.
00:17:01I do.
00:17:02I do.
00:17:03I 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
00:17:13men.
00:17:14If it goes not forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death.
00:17:17It is doomed to wander through the world and witness what it cannot share but might have
00:17:28shared on earth and turn to happiness.
00:17:32I wear the chain I forged in life.
00:17:33I made it, link by link and yard by yard.
00:17:34I girded it on of my own free will and of my own free will.
00:17:47I wore it.
00:17:48I wore it.
00:17:49You have my sympathy.
00:17:50Ah, you do not know the weight and length of strong chain you bear yourself.
00:17:59It was full as heavy and as long as this.
00:18:02Seven Christmas eves ago and you have labored on it since, sir.
00:18:07It is a wondrous chain.
00:18:10Mark me.
00:18:11Mark me.
00:18:12In life my spirit never rode beyond the limits of our money changing home.
00:18:17Now I am doomed to wander without rest or peace.
00:18:21Incessant torture and remorse.
00:18:22But it was only that you were a good man of business, Jacob.
00:18:31Business?
00:18:32Mankind was my business.
00:18:35Their common welfare was my business.
00:18:38And it is at this time of the rolling year I suffer most.
00:18:43Hear me.
00:18:44My time is nearly gone.
00:18:46I come tonight to warn you that you have yet a chance and hope of escaping my fate.
00:18:52A 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.
00:19:04What?
00:19:06Was that the chance of hope that you mentioned, Jacob?
00:19:10It was.
00:19:12Well, in that case, never mind.
00:19:15I think I'd rather not.
00:19:17Without their visits you cannot hope to shun the path I tread.
00:19:22Expect the first when the bell tolls one.
00:19:31Look to see me no more.
00:19:44But look here that you may remember for your own sake what has passed between us.
00:19:52Why do they lament?
00:20:02They seek to interfere for good in human matters that have lost their power forever.
00:20:15them out therefore.
00:20:16too.
00:20:17Oh.
00:20:18Oh.
00:20:19I fear I beg you.
00:20:20Help! Help!
00:20:50Help!
00:21:20Help!
00:21:50Help!
00:21:59Are you the spirit whose coming was foretold to me?
00:22:02I am.
00:22:06Who and what are you?
00:22:08I am the ghost of Christmas past.
00:22:12Long past?
00:22:14No, your past.
00:22:20What is your business here with me?
00:22:22Your welfare.
00:22:26My welfare.
00:22:28Your reclamation, then.
00:22:32Take heed, rise, and walk with me.
00:22:36Through the window.
00:22:50Are you afraid?
00:22:52That I am immortal and liable to fall.
00:22:58Bear but a touch of my hand, and you shall be upheld in more than this.
00:23:22Good heavens.
00:23:26You know this place.
00:23:28Know it.
00:23:30I was a boy here.
00:23:32They are but shades of the things that have been.
00:23:34They do not know who we are here.
00:23:36Look.
00:23:38There's my old school.
00:23:40How lonely and deserted it looks.
00:23:42Not quite deserted.
00:23:44A solitary boy yourself, Ebenezer, forgotten by his friends, is left there still.
00:23:52I know.
00:24:12I know.
00:24:30Ebenezer.
00:24:32That fan!
00:24:40That fan.
00:24:42Oh, dear brother.
00:24:43I have come to bring you home.
00:24:44Home.
00:24:45Home.
00:24:46Home.
00:24:47Home.
00:24:48Home.
00:24:49Yes.
00:24:50Home for good and all.
00:24:51Home for ever and ever.
00:24:52Father is so much kinder than he used to be.
00:24:54That home is like heaven.
00:24:57For you, perhaps.
00:24:58But not for me.
00:25:01He doesn't know me, nor even what I look like.
00:25:04The same as I hardly know you now that you're quite a woman.
00:25:07Mama must have looked as you look now just before she died.
00:25:08Perhaps that is what has changed his mind towards you.
00:25:09He spoke to me so gently one night when I was going to bed.
00:25:10That I wasn't afraid to ask him just once more if you might come home.
00:25:11And he said, yes, you should.
00:25:12And sent me in a carriage to bring you.
00:25:13And you're never to come back here anymore.
00:25:14And you're never to be lonely again.
00:25:15Never to be lonely again.
00:25:20Never to be lonely again.
00:25:21Never as long as I live.
00:25:23Then you must live forever, Fan.
00:25:25Nobody else ever cared for me and nobody else ever will.
00:25:28You must live forever, fan.
00:25:29For me and nobody else ever will.
00:25:31You must live forever, Fan.
00:25:34for 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.
00:25:49You must forgive, Papa, and forget the past.
00:25:52For our dearest mother's sake.
00:25:54Oh, Fan.
00:25:59Bring down Master Scrooge's box.
00:26:04Our sister was always a delicate creature,
00:26:08whom 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.
00:26:20She died giving him life.
00:26:23Your mother died giving you life
00:26:26for which your father never forgave you,
00:26:28as if you were to blame.
00:26:34You recall this, no doubt.
00:26:35You recall it?
00:26:36Why, bless my son.
00:26:37It's all physical.
00:26:38You recall this, no doubt.
00:26:39You recall it?
00:26:40Why, bless my son.
00:26:41It's all physical.
00:26:42It's all physical.
00:26:43It's all physical.
00:26:44I was apprenticed here.
00:26:45I was apprenticed here.
00:26:50There's one physical evidence.
00:26:51There's a face oniche.
00:26:52I was apprenticed here.
00:26:53I was apprenticed here.
00:27:00Look, there's old Fezzewick and Mrs. Fezzewick.
00:27:04I was apprenticed here.
00:27:16Look, there's old Fezziwig and Mrs. Fezziwig.
00:27:17Top couple.
00:27:25Was there ever a kinder man?
00:27:28And yet, what does this party cost him in your mortal money?
00:27:32Three or four pounds at most.
00:27:33Is that so much that he deserves your praise?
00:27:36Oh, but it's not that.
00:27:37The happiness he gave to us, his clerks and apprentices and everybody who knew him
00:27:40was as great as if it had cost a fortune.
00:27:46What's the matter?
00:27:47Nothing.
00:27:48Something, I think.
00:27:49No, no, no.
00:27:51Just that I'd like to have a word with my own clerk, Bob Gretchen, 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.
00:28:15Well, because I'm not rich enough for you.
00:28:17Well, for you, darling.
00:28:18Of course not.
00:28:21You're still so young.
00:28:22You may have a change of heart one day.
00:28:24Dearest Alice, if ever I have a change of heart towards you, it'll be because my heart has ceased to beat.
00:28:30And 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 I accept your ring.
00:28:52Alice.
00:28:53From 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.
00:29:16Now see yourself in business, Ebenezer.
00:29:19Come, come, Mr. Fizzy.
00:29:20We're good friends, I think, besides good men of business.
00:29:23We'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, which is the age of the machine and the factory and the vested interests.
00:29:33We small traders are all history, Mr. Fizzy.
00:29:36Dodos.
00:29:37Yes, sir, I 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. Jorky.
00:29:47Well, if it isn't, I'd like you to tell me what you do spend a lifetime building up a business for.
00:29:52It's to preserve a way of life that one knew and loved.
00:29:56No, I can't see my way to selling out to the new vested interests, Mr. Jorky.
00:30:01I'll have to be loyal to the old ways and die out with them if needs must.
00:30:06Well, you know what they say about time and tide, Mr. Fizzywig.
00:30:10They wait for no one.
00:30:13There's more in life than money, sir.
00:30:16Oh, excuse me, Mr. Fizzywig, 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.
00:30:25Excuse me.
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, I think I know what Mr. Fizzywig 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, 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 old Fizzywig can afford to pay you.
00:31:04And advancement he can't afford to offer you.
00:31:06Well, there's a clerk in a new company.
00:31:09What would you say to that, eh?
00:31:11Well, I, 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.
00:31:26No, spirit, not here.
00:31:38Yes, here.
00:31:43Fan, it's me, your brother.
00:31:49Do you know me?
00:31:55Lebanese.
00:31:56They sent for you.
00:32:00Promise 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.
00:32:18You are.
00:32:19You are.
00:32:20Dear God, you must.
00:32:24Fan, you, you, you can't.
00:32:26You can't die.
00:32:27Fan, you, 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.
00:32:36You're going to get well again.
00:32:37Fan.
00:32:38Fan, you, you, you, you're going to get well again.
00:32:39Amen.
00:32:48Fum, you want to get larvae, you won't see it.
00:32:49Go, go.
00:32:52Oh, how could you have brought me here?
00:33:13Have you no mercy, no pity?
00:33:14Ebenezer.
00:33:17Brother.
00:33:19Ebenezer.
00:33:22Promise me you'll take care of my boy.
00:33:30Promise me you'll take care of my...
00:33:36You heard her.
00:33:52Forgive me, Fenn.
00:33:55Forgive me.
00:33:57Forgive me, Fenn.
00:34:00Forgive me, Fenn.
00:34:08Well, there you are, me Buck.
00:34:11That's where you start.
00:34:13And you can work your way on up as high as the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral if you have a mind to do so.
00:34:19Control the cash box and you control the world.
00:34:21By the way, how did old Fezziwig take it when you said you were leaving him?
00:34:31You wish me luck, sir.
00:34:32No hard feelings, eh?
00:34:33Starting with a clean slate.
00:34:34Good.
00:34:35And now let me introduce you to your fellow clerk.
00:34:36Mr. Marley.
00:34:37Just a moment, please.
00:34:39Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge, the new clerk.
00:34:40Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge, the new clerk.
00:34:41Mr. Jacob Marley, our wizard of the accounts.
00:34:43Your servant, Mr. Marley.
00:34:44Your servant, Mr. Scrooge.
00:34:45I'm sure you two gentlemen will get along famously.
00:34:46I'm sure we shall, Mr. Jorkins, sir.
00:34:47Yes.
00:34:48Well, I'll leave you to it.
00:34:52The place no doubt seems new and strange to you.
00:34:55Somewhat.
00:34:56Well, let me introduce you to your fellow clerk.
00:34:57Mr. Marley.
00:34:58Mr. Marley.
00:34:59Mr. Marley.
00:35:00Just a moment, please.
00:35:01Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge, the new clerk.
00:35:03Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge, the new clerk.
00:35:05Mr. Jacob Marley, our wizard of the accounts.
00:35:07Your servant, Mr. Marley.
00:35:08Your servant, Mr. Scrooge.
00:35:09I'm sure you two gentlemen will get along famously.
00:35:11I'm sure we shall, Mr. Jorkins, sir.
00:35:12Yes.
00:35:13Well, I'll leave you to it.
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.
00:35:45Mr Marley.
00:35:48Oh, excuse me, Mr. Scrooter.
00:36:16Yes? Pardon the liberty, but do you know if I'm to be kept on here, sir?
00:36:19What's your present salary? Five shillings a week, sir.
00:36:22You can stay for four shillings a week.
00:36:24Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Isn't that old Fezziwig?
00:36:40In the way you have changed.
00:36:41But how have I changed towards you?
00:36:43By changing towards the world.
00:36:45Is it such a terrible thing for a man to struggle with something better than he is?
00:37:06Show me no more.
00:37:08But I told you these were but shadows of the things that have been.
00:37:12That they are what they are. Do not blame me.
00:37:14Take me away.
00:37:15Very well.
00:37:16But we have not done yet, Ebenezer Scrooge.
00:37:20We do but turn another page.
00:37:22And as your business prospered, Ebenezer Scrooge, a golden idol took possession of your heart, as Alice said it would.
00:37:42May we hear those figures, Mr. Snedgrid, at your pleasure?
00:37:45Certainly, Mr. Groeper.
00:37:46Well, gentlemen, after 17 years of existence, the Amalgamated Mercantile Society's books show the startling figures of a liability of 3,200 pounds, eight shillings and tenpence.
00:37:57And a total asset of 11 pounds, eight shillings and tenpence.
00:38:00Well, at least the tenpences cancel each other out.
00:38:06How much of this is the company's capital?
00:38:08All of it, Mr. Rosebud.
00:38:10In short, sir, you're not only a bankrupt, you're an embezzler of the company's funds.
00:38:15I will so beat my wife and skewer innocent babies when in my cups.
00:38:20Take a very cool attitude, if I may say so, sir.
00:38:22Well, so do Mr. Scrooge and Mr. Marley.
00:38:25They're not facing prosecution for a capital offence.
00:38:27Oh, but gentlemen, it could have been any one of you.
00:38:30We're all cutthroats under this fancy linen, Mr. Snedrick.
00:38:33I must ask you to speak for yourself, Mr. Jorking.
00:38:36What would you gauge to prosecute me?
00:38:38All you'd get out of it is about 11 pounds on.
00:38:41And to pack me off to Botany Bay would be poor compensation for the panic that would arise among the shareholders.
00:38:47Panic, sir?
00:38:48Yes, panic.
00:38:49It seems odd to think of the place without him, sir.
00:38:52Why should it be any more odd than it was with him, hmm?
00:38:55We've all got to die, Cratchit.
00:38:58I suppose you'll be wanting the whole day off tomorrow, as usual.
00:39:01If quite convenient, sir.
00:39:03Every Christmas you say the same thing.
00:39:06And every Christmas it's just as inconvenient as it was the Christmas before.
00:39:10Good night.
00:39:11Good night.
00:39:12Good night, sir.
00:39:13Good night.
00:39:42Who's that?
00:39:43The Doctor?
00:39:44No, sir.
00:39:45The Undertaker.
00:39:46You don't believe in letting the grass grow under your feet, do you?
00:39:50Ours is a highly competitive profession, sir.
00:39:53Is it dead yet?
00:39:55I'll have another look if you like.
00:39:57No, don't bother.
00:39:59I'll see for myself.
00:40:01Oh, Jacob.
00:40:09Oh, Jacob, well, have they, have they seen to you properly, last rites and all that, hmm?
00:40:36There's, uh, there's nothing I can do, hmm?
00:40:39Oh, what, particularly?
00:40:50Well, there's still time.
00:40:56Time? Time? Time for what?
00:41:01Please, please, please, wrong.
00:41:04Huh? Wrong.
00:41:07Wrong?
00:41:09Oh.
00:41:10Well, we, we can't be right all the time.
00:41:13Nobody's perfect.
00:41:16We've been no worse than the next man.
00:41:19Oh, better if it comes to that.
00:41:21You mustn't reproach yourself, Jacob.
00:41:24We are wrong.
00:41:25What?
00:41:30Save yourself.
00:41:34What? Save myself?
00:41:37Save myself from what?
00:41:40Hmm?
00:41:43Speak up.
00:41:44Just now, do you see it?
00:42:03I always do.
00:42:04One shadow more.
00:42:23No.
00:42:25No more.
00:42:27I, I cannot bear it.
00:42:28You'll be the finest goose.
00:42:31And ours will be the finest Christmas.
00:42:36Here's the punch, all steaming hot.
00:42:38No, no.
00:42:40Well, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to the poor old man.
00:42:43You wouldn't let me wish it to him personally, but here it is nevertheless.
00:42:46Uncle Scrooge.
00:42:47Oh.
00:42:49Well, I don't know that our drinking to him will do him much good.
00:42:52Nor do I.
00:42:52I hate him.
00:42:53Oh, I forbid it.
00:42:54I'm sorry for him.
00:42:55I couldn't feel angry with him if I tried.
00:42:57Who suffers worse from his humors?
00:42:59Himself, always.
00:43:00Look at the way he's taken it into his head to disown us without a shilling.
00:43:03And won't even come to dinner with us.
00:43:05And what's the consequence?
00:43:06He's only cheated himself out of a highly indigestible dinner.
00:43:10It was a wonderful dinner.
00:43:11Yes, it was a wonderful dinner.
00:43:13Well, I'm very glad you think so, Miss,
00:43:15because I personally haven't very much faith in these newlywed housekeepers.
00:43:19Have you, Tupper?
00:43:20Alas, as a bachelor,
00:43:21I'm a wretched outcast
00:43:23with no right to express an opinion
00:43:25on such a tender and delicate subject.
00:43:28Ever.
00:43:29Dear, distant, unmovable, Miss Flora.
00:43:33Now, you really are quite incorrigible, Mr. Tupper.
00:43:37Quite beyond hope.
00:43:51I am become a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.
00:44:02And though I have the gift of prophecy
00:44:03and understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
00:44:07and though I have all faith so that I could remove mountains
00:44:10and have not charity,
00:44:12I am nothing.
00:44:13Do you feel more rested now, my dear?
00:44:16I do.
00:44:17Bless your dear, gentle heart.
00:44:21Alice.
00:44:23Do you know me, darling?
00:44:24I never thought there was anyone like you
00:44:26left in the whole wide world.
00:44:29Cut me throff, rip me liver from telling a lie.
00:44:32This is the happiest Christmas I ever had.
00:44:35Alice.
00:44:44Alice.
00:44:46Alice.
00:44:52Spirit, are these people real, or are they shadows?
00:44:55They're real.
00:44:56We're the shadows.
00:44:57Both of us.
00:44:58Did you not cut yourself off from your fellow beings
00:45:01when you lost love of that gentle creature?
00:45:05Alice.
00:45:15Where are you taking me now?
00:45:16My time with you, Ebenezer, is almost done.
00:45:20Will you profit by what I have shown you
00:45:21of the good in most men's hearts?
00:45:25I don't know.
00:45:26How can I promise?
00:45:28If it's too hard a lesson for you to learn,
00:45:32then learn this lesson.
00:45:35Spirit, are these yours?
00:45:41They are man's.
00:45:42They cling to me for protection from their fetters.
00:45:46This boy is ignorance.
00:45:48This girl is want.
00:45:50Beware them both.
00:45:51But most of all, beware this boy.
00:45:54But have they no refuge?
00:45:56No resource?
00:45:58Are there no prisons?
00:45:59Are there no workhouses?
00:46:01Are there no prisons?
00:46:03Are there no workhouses?
00:46:04Are there no prisons?
00:46:05Are there no workhouses?
00:46:06Are there no prisons?
00:46:07Are there no workhouses?
00:46:08Are there no prisons?
00:46:09Are there no workhouses?
00:46:10Are there no prisons?
00:46:11Are there no workhouses?
00:46:12Are there no workhouses?
00:46:13Are there no workhouses?
00:46:14I am in the presence of the spirit of Christmas yet to come.
00:46:35And you're going to show me shadows of things that have not yet happened but will happen.
00:46:39Spirit of the future, I fear you more than any other specter I've seen.
00:46:45But even in my fear, I must tell you, I am too old.
00:46:49I cannot change.
00:46:51It is not that I am impenitent.
00:46:53It is just that I, oh, wouldn't it be better if I just went home to bed?
00:47:03No.
00:47:07Lead me then.
00:47:09We, we've been wrong.
00:47:14Huh?
00:47:15Wrong.
00:47:16Wrong.
00:47:17Oh.
00:47:19Well, we, we can't be right all the time.
00:47:23Nobody's perfect.
00:47:25We've been no worse than the next man.
00:47:28Oh, better if it comes to that.
00:47:31You mustn't reproach yourself, Jacob.
00:47:33We are wrong.
00:47:35What?
00:47:36Save yourself.
00:47:40What?
00:47:41Save myself?
00:47:42Save myself from what?
00:47:44Hmm?
00:47:45Speaker.
00:47:46Speaker.
00:47:52You say, Jade?
00:47:56Yes.
00:48:06Just now, do you see it?
00:48:08I always do.
00:48:10You say, Jade?
00:48:12Yes.
00:48:14Just now, do you see it?
00:48:16I always do.
00:48:18You say, Jade?
00:48:20Yes.
00:48:21Just now, do you see it?
00:48:22I always do.
00:48:24One shadow more.
00:48:38No.
00:48:39No more.
00:48:40I, I cannot bear it.
00:48:42Jacob Marley worked at your side for 18 years.
00:48:46He was the only friend you ever had at your side for 18 years.
00:48:50He was the only friend you ever had at your side for 18 years.
00:48:54He was the only friend of his burial and took his money, his house,
00:48:58and his few mean sticks of furniture.
00:49:00Did you feel a little pity for him?
00:49:02Look at her face, Elisa.
00:49:04A face of a wrenching, grasping, scraping covetous old sinner.
00:49:08No.
00:49:09No.
00:49:10No.
00:49:11No.
00:49:12No.
00:49:13No.
00:49:14No.
00:49:15No.
00:49:16No.
00:49:17No.
00:49:18No.
00:49:19No.
00:49:20No.
00:49:21No.
00:49:22No.
00:49:23No.
00:49:24No.
00:49:25No.
00:49:26No.
00:49:27No.
00:49:28No.
00:49:29No.
00:49:30No.
00:49:31No.
00:49:32No.
00:49:33No.
00:49:34No.
00:49:35No.
00:49:36No.
00:49:37No.
00:49:38No.
00:49:39No.
00:49:40No.
00:49:41No.
00:49:42No.
00:49:43No.
00:49:44No.
00:49:45No.
00:49:46Come in, come in,
00:49:48Mr. Luz.
00:49:50I await you.
00:49:52Yes, I am.
00:49:54I'm coming.
00:49:56Come in.
00:49:58Come in.
00:50:00I'm coming.
00:50:02I'm coming.
00:50:04I'm coming.
00:50:06I'm coming.
00:50:08I'm coming.
00:50:10Come in.
00:50:12Come in.
00:50:14I'm coming.
00:50:40Come in.
00:50:42Come in, come in, and don't be that a man.
00:50:47I am the spirit of Christmas present.
00:50:50Look upon me.
00:50:51You've never seen the like of me before, have you?
00:50:55Never.
00:50:56And I wish the pleasure had been indefinitely postponed.
00:51:00So?
00:51:01Is your heart still unmoved towards us then?
00:51:04I'm too old. I'm beyond hope.
00:51:07Go and redeem some younger, more promising creature
00:51:11and leave me to keep Christmas in my own way.
00:51:16Mortal, we spirits of Christmas do not live only one day of our year.
00:51:21We live the whole 365.
00:51:24So is it true of the child born in Bethlehem.
00:51:27He does not live in men's hearts only one day of the year,
00:51:30but in all the days of the year.
00:51:32You have chosen not to seek him in your heart.
00:51:35Therefore you shall come with me and seek him in the hearts of men of good will.
00:51:40Come. Touch my robe.
00:52:01What place is this?
00:52:02A place where miners live who labor in the bowels of the earth.
00:52:06But they know me.
00:52:07Come.
00:52:08Come.
00:52:09Come.
00:52:10Yeah.
00:52:11Come.
00:52:12Come.
00:52:13Come.
00:52:14Come.
00:52:15Come.
00:52:16Come.
00:52:17Triumph of the skies
00:52:20With the jellyful crossings
00:52:24Christ is born in Bethlehem
00:52:28For herald angels sing
00:52:32Glory to the newborn King
00:52:44Why, it's Tretches.
00:52:45It's Bob, Tretches.
00:52:54He's coming, Mother.
00:52:55Father's here with Tiny Tim.
00:52:57Tim, Martha.
00:52:59You hide and we'll tell you've been held up
00:53:01and who knows when you'll be here.
00:53:03He's going to hide.
00:53:04Oh, it's where?
00:53:06Behind the scowlery door, quickly, Mother.
00:53:15A merry Christmas.
00:53:29Why?
00:53:29Where's our Martha?
00:53:31Oh, she's not coming.
00:53:33Not 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
00:53:45if 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.
00:53:54You come along as well, Martha.
00:53:55Come and hear the pudding singing in the copper.
00:53:56I'll come in a minute.
00:53:57All right.
00:53:58Sit you down before the fire
00:54:00and have a nice warm.
00:54:01The Lord bless you.
00:54:02We had such a deal of work to finish up last night,
00:54:05but 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
00:54:09so as to be here in time.
00:54:11How did little Tim behave in church?
00:54:13As good as gold and better.
00:54:15Somehow 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?
00:54:45Spirit, tell me where.
00:54:48Will tiny Tim live?
00:54:50I see a vacant seat in the poor chimney corner
00:54:53and a crutch without an owner carefully preserved.
00:54:56If these shadows remain unaltered by the future,
00:54:59none other of my race shall find him now.
00:55:02Oh, no.
00:55:04No.
00:55:05But I, in spirit, say that he will be spared.
00:55:10Why?
00:55:11If he'd be like to die, he'd better do it
00:55:13and decrease the surplus population.
00:55:14Well, my little cock sparrow, he 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 the pudding.
00:55:32Oh, the pudding.
00:55:34Well, it shan't be easy till it's eaten.
00:55:36I confess I have my doubts about the quantity of flour.
00:55:39It'll be a perfect pudding, my love.
00:55:41A perfect pudding.
00:55:43Won't you, Martha, my dear?
00:55:45Hey, Tim?
00:55:46It'll be the finest pudding in the whole of London this Christmas.
00:55:49And the goose will be the finest goose.
00:55:51And ours will be the finest Christmas.
00:55:54Here's the punch, all steaming hot.
00:55:58There we are.
00:55:59Now, now, don't gooshin.
00:56:01Take 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 punch.
00:56:13Now, has everybody got his drink?
00:56:17Yes.
00:56:18Good.
00:56:19But before I give the toast, I have a piece of momentous information for all, and Master Peter in particular.
00:56:25Master Peter?
00:56:26Why, that's you, Peter.
00:56:28What is it, Father?
00:56:29I'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 fellow he is, in one of my own collars.
00:56:38I have waited for this great moment to advise him that I have my eye on a situation for him which will bring in, if obtained, full five-and-sixpence weekly.
00:56:49Right!
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, everyone.
00:57:08I give you Mr. Scrooge, 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.
00:57:33I'll drink his health for your sake in the days, not for his.
00:57:38Long life to him, a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
00:57:42He'll be very happy and very merry, no doubt.
00:57:54He said that Christmas was humbug and he believed it too.
00:57:57I told you so.
00:57:58I told you 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.
00:58:05Uncle Scrooge.
00:58:06Oh!
00:58:07Well, I don't know that our drinking to him will do him much good.
00:58:11Nor do I.
00:58:12I hate it.
00:58:13Oh, I forbid it.
00:58:14I'm sorry for him.
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 and won't even come to dinner with us.
00:58:24And what's the consequence?
00:58:25He's only cheated himself out of a highly indigestible dinner.
00:58:28It was a wonderful dinner.
00:58:30Yes, it was a wonderful dinner.
00:58:32Well, I'm very glad you think so, Miss, because I personally haven't very much faith in these newlywed housekeepers.
00:58:37Have you, Tupper?
00:58:39Alas, as a bachelor, I'm a wretched outcast with no right to express an opinion on such a tender and delicate subject.
00:58:46Have I, dear, distant, unmovable, Miss Flora?
00:58:52Now, you really are quite incorrigible, Mr. Tupper.
00:58:56Quite beyond hope.
00:59:16Have not charity.
00:59:17I 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, I am nothing.
00:59:33Do you feel more rested now, my dear?
00:59:35I do.
00:59:36I do.
00:59:37Bless your dear, gentle heart.
00:59:40Alice.
00:59:41Do you know me, darling?
00:59:43I never thought there was anyone like you left in the whole wide world.
00:59:48Cut me throff, rip me liver from telling a lie.
00:59:51This is the happiest Christmas I ever had.
01:00:03Alice.
01:00:05Alice.
01:00:11Spirit, are these people real or are they shadows?
01:00:14They're real.
01:00:15We're the shadows.
01:00:16Both of us.
01:00:17Did you not cut yourself off from your fellow beings when you lost love of that gentle creature?
01:00:34Where are you taking me now?
01:00:35My time with you, Ebenezer, is almost done.
01:00:38Will you profit by what I have shown you of the good in most men's hearts?
01:00:44I don't know.
01:00:45How can I promise?
01:00:47If it's too hard a lesson for you to learn, then learn this lesson.
01:00:58Spirit, are these yours?
01:01:00They are man's.
01:01:01They cling to me for protection from their fetters.
01:01:03This boy is ignorance.
01:01:04This girl is want.
01:01:05Beware them both.
01:01:06But most of all, beware this boy.
01:01:08But have they no refuge?
01:01:09No resource?
01:01:10Are there no prisons?
01:01:11Are there no workhouses?
01:01:12Are there no prisons?
01:01:13Are there no workhouses?
01:01:14Are there no prisons?
01:01:15Are there no workhouses?
01:01:16Are there no prisons?
01:01:17Are there no workhouses?
01:01:18Are there no prisons?
01:01:19Are there no workhouses?
01:01:20Are there no prisons?
01:01:21Are there no workhouses?
01:01:22Are there no prisons?
01:01:23Are there no workhouses?
01:01:24Are there no prisons?
01:01:25Are there no workhouses?
01:01:26Are there no prisons?
01:01:27Are there no workhouses?
01:01:29Are there no prisons?
01:01:30Are there no workhouses?
01:01:31Are there no prisons?
01:01:32Are there no workhouses?
01:01:42I 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.
01:02:02Spirit of the future, I fear you more than any other specter I've seen.
01:02:06But 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, it is just that I...
01:02:17Oh, wouldn't it be better if I just went home to bed?
01:02:23No.
01:02:27Lead me then.
01:02:41He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings thou shalt trust.
01:02:51His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
01:02:54Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flyeth by day.
01:02:59A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand.
01:03:04But it shall not come nigh thee.
01:03:05For 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.
01:03:16I 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.
01:03:35I 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. It's only the colour. It hurts my eyes.
01:03:49They're better now.
01:03:52It makes them weak by candlelight.
01:03:54And I wouldn't show your father weak eyes when he comes home for the world.
01:03:58It must be near his time.
01:03:59Past it, rather.
01:04:02But he seems to be walking a little slower than he used these last few evenings.
01:04:06Oh, I've known him walk with Tiny Tim on his shoulder very fast indeed.
01:04:11So have I, often.
01:04:13But so have I. So have I.
01:04:15But then he was very light to carry, and his father loved him so that there was no trouble.
01:04:20No trouble.
01:04:29I'm a little late, my dear. Please forgive me.
01:04:30You must be cold and tired. Sit near the fire.
01:04:32No, no. I'm very content, my dear. Very content.
01:04:45I went to see the place where he will rest.
01:04:49It's sheltered by green trees, my dear, and very quiet and still.
01:04:53It was strange, but as I stood there, I felt his hand slip in mine as if he was standing beside me and comforting me.
01:05:00I felt very peaceful, my dear. He was telling me, you see, in his own little way, that he's happy.
01:05:07Truly happy now, and that we must cease to grieve for him and try to be happy too.
01:05:14Oh, Tim. My tiny Tim.
01:05:25Oh, Robert. Oh, poor Robert.
01:05:44Hello, Joe.
01:06:01Huh?
01:06:02Oh, Joe.
01:06:04Well, come on.
01:06:05No, let the laundress go first.
01:06:07No, no, dear. You was here first.
01:06:09After you, I'm sure.
01:06:11Oh, look how Joe is a chance.
01:06:15If the child lady and the laundress and the undertaker have all met here at the same time without meaning it.
01:06:20Well, you couldn't have met in a better place.
01:06:22Let's go into the parlor.
01:06:24You were made free a bit long ago, eh?
01:06:27And the other two old strangers, eh?
01:06:30Wait 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 squeaks. There'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.
01:06:46We're all suitable to our call, eh?
01:06:49We're all well met.
01:06:51Come into the parlor, eh?
01:06:53Come into the parlor.
01:06:54Who goes first?
01:06:58What odds, now? We're all met at the once.
01:07:02Everyone's got a right to take care of themselves. He always did.
01:07:05Oh, that's true enough. No one more so.
01:07:08Why, then, don'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.
01:07:15No, indeed.
01:07:16Oh, 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.
01:07:24If he wanted to keep him after he was dead, why wasn't he amiable in his lifetime?
01:07:28If he had been, he'd have had somebody with him when he was struck with death.
01:07:32Still lying, gasping out his last there alone by himself.
01:07:35There never was a tour word spoke. It 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 before we come here, I believe.
01:07:47It's no sin. Open the bundle, Jo.
01:07:50No, 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 shillings, this lot, and I wouldn't give you another sixpence.
01:08:14Not if I was born for life for not doing it.
01:08:19Who's next?
01:08:22Always the lady, dear.
01:08:23I shall have to insist you all stop and watch mine, now that we're so open and above with each other.
01:08:29Two sheets.
01:08:30Two towels.
01:08:31Shirt.
01:08:32Teaspoons.
01:08:33Two silver.
01:08:34Sugar tongs.
01:08:35Flutes assorted.
01:08:36Power.
01:08:37Here.
01:08:38Seventeen and six.
01:08:39I always give too much to a lady, it's a weakness of mine.
01:08:42That's how I come to ruin meself.
01:08:43Here.
01:08:44If you ask for another penny, made it an open question, I'd regret me liberality.
01:08:49Knock on half a crown.
01:08:50Now open my bundle, Jo.
01:08:52Come on, what's in it?
01:08:53Ah.
01:08:54Eh?
01:08:55You wait and see.
01:08:56Yeah.
01:08:57Bed curtains.
01:08:58Bed curtains?
01:08:59Ah, bed curtains.
01:09:00But do you, don't you say you took these down, rings and all, and, oh, him lying there?
01:09:05No.
01:09:06No.
01:09:07No.
01:09:08No.
01:09:09No.
01:09:10No.
01:09:11No.
01:09:12No.
01:09:13No.
01:09:14No.
01:09:15No.
01:09:16No.
01:09:17No.
01:09:18No.
01:09:19No.
01:09:20Oh, him lying there?
01:09:21Yes, I do.
01:09:22Why not?
01:09:23You was born to make a fortune, ma'am, and you certainly will.
01:09:28I 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'd go.
01:09:35At least his blankets, too.
01:09:36Whose else do you think?
01:09:37He ain't likely to take cold without him, I dare say.
01:09:41He didn't dive anything catching, did he?
01:09:43Oh, don't you be afraid of that.
01:09:45I wasn't too fond of his company, I'd loiter about him for such things if he did.
01:09:49And you can look through that till your eyes open, you won't find a hole in it.
01:09:54It's the best one he had, and a fine one, too.
01:09:57They'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, as if Calico ain't good enough for burying.
01:10:09Anyway, 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,
01:10:20and 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.
01:10:33When did he die?
01:10:34Last night, I believe.
01:10:35What was the matter with him?
01:10:36I thought he'd never die.
01:10:37So did he, I dare say.
01:10:38What's he done with all his money?
01:10:39Left it to his company.
01:10:40Where else?
01:10:41He didn't leave it to me.
01:10:42That's all I know.
01:10:43Well, the funeral won't cost much, that's certain.
01:10:45Upon my soul, I can't think of anyone who'll go to it.
01:10:47I don't mind going, if there's a luncheon provided.
01:10:49But I must be fed, or else I stay at home.
01:10:52I know those men.
01:11:07They're men of business, very wealthy, very important.
01:11:10Whose funeral were they talking about?
01:11:13Strange.
01:11:17My usual place is over there, under the clock.
01:11:21I ought to be there this time of day.
01:11:24But I'm not.
01:11:26I'm not.
01:11:28I'm not.
01:11:29I'm not.
01:11:30I'm not.
01:11:31I'm not.
01:11:32I'm not.
01:11:33I'm not.
01:11:34I'm not.
01:11:35I'm not.
01:11:36I'm not.
01:11:37I'm not.
01:11:38I'm not.
01:11:39I'm not.
01:11:40I'm not.
01:11:41I'm not.
01:11:42I'm not.
01:11:43I'm not.
01:11:44I'm not.
01:11:45I'm not.
01:11:46I'm not.
01:11:47I'm not.
01:11:48I'm not.
01:11:49I'm not.
01:11:50I'm not.
01:11:51I'm not.
01:11:52I'm not.
01:11:53I'm not.
01:11:54I'm not.
01:11:55I'm not.
01:11:56I'm not.
01:11:57I'm not.
01:11:58I'm not.
01:11:59But you are the only shadows of things that might be.
01:12:08I know that men's deeds foreshadow some ends.
01:12:12But if the deeds be parted from, surely the ends will change.
01:12:16Tell me to sew with what you show me now.
01:12:46No, no, no, no, no, no, no, 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.
01:13:00Tell me I'm not already dead.
01:13:02Dear, Spirit, I'm not the man I was.
01:13:06Believe me, I'm not the man I was.
01:13:08Why show me all this if I'm beyond all hope?
01:13:11Oh, pity me, Spirit, pity me and help me.
01:13:14Help me to sponge away the right ear on the stone if I repent.
01:13:17And I do repent, I do repent.
01:13:19I'll make good wrongs I've done my fellow men.
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, I'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 I was.
01:13:44I'm not the man I was.
01:13:50Love you.
01:13:52Love you.
01:13:55Love you.
01:14:00Love you.
01:14:04Love you.
01:14:09Love you.
01:14:12Good morning, sir.
01:14:19Tell me, what day is it?
01:14:22What day?
01:14:23What's Christmas day, Paul, sir?
01:14:25Christmas day.
01:14:26Christmas day.
01:14:27Then I haven't missed it.
01:14:30The spirits must have done everything in one night.
01:14:33Of course, they can do anything, can't they?
01:14:36Of course they can.
01:14:36Are 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?
01:14:58The 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.
01:15:11And the shadows of things that would be can still be dispelled.
01:15:14And they will be.
01:15:15I know they will be.
01:15:17I know.
01:15:18I don't know what to do.
01:15:22I'm as light as a feather.
01:15:24I'm as happy as an angel.
01:15:27I'm as merry as a schoolboy.
01:15:30I'm as giddy.
01:15:31I'm as giddy as a drunken man.
01:15:32I've never...
01:15:33I've never...
01:15:34Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
01:15:36A merry Christmas, Ebenezer.
01:15:38You old humbug.
01:15:42And a happy new year.
01:15:44As if you deserved it.
01:15:45A merry Christmas, Mrs. Dilber.
01:15:48Thank you, sir.
01:15:49Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you.
01:15:50And many, many of them...
01:15:52Look, Mrs. Dilber.
01:16:00There's the corner where the spirit of Christmas presents sat.
01:16:02And there's the door where Jacob Marley's ghost came through.
01:16:05And there's the window where I saw the wandering spirit.
01:16:07It's right.
01:16:08It's true.
01:16:08It all happened.
01:16:09I don't know what day of the month it is.
01:16:11I don't know how long I've been amongst the 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.
01:16:22I never did know anything.
01:16:24But now I know that I don't know.
01:16:26All of the Christmas morn.
01:16:27I must stand on my head.
01:16:29I must stand on my head.
01:16:34Come back.
01:16:35Come back.
01:16:35Please, please, Mr. Dilber. I am not mad.
01:16:50Even...
01:16:51Don't be far away, Mr. Scrooge, sir. You forced me to scream for the beetle.
01:16:56The beetle, madam.
01:16:58I think the beetle.
01:17:01A guinea?
01:17:02Here, 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, oh, oh.
01:17:13To keep me mouth shut.
01:17:15No, no, no, no, Mr. Dilber.
01:17:17It's for a Christmas present.
01:17:22A Christmas present?
01:17:27For me?
01:17:30Of course, for you.
01:17:32A merry, merry Christmas.
01:17:36Dear Mrs. Dilber.
01:17:37Oh.
01:17:39How much do I pay you?
01:17:41Two shillings a week.
01:17:42What? Two shillings?
01:17:44It's forthwith raised to ten.
01:17:46Ten shillings a week, dear?
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.
01:17:55Oh.
01:17:57Boop's your uncle.
01:17:58Oh, ho, ho, ho.
01:18:01Merry Christmas, Mr. Scrooge.
01:18:04And keep him with the situation.
01:18:12Bells.
01:18:12Oh, very, very bells.
01:18:14Oh, what a beautiful morning.
01:18:27Hello there, hello, you, you boy, you.
01:18:30Who, me?
01:18:31Yes, you.
01:18:33Do you know the butchers in the next street, little one?
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, let's see.
01:19:22I must have a label.
01:19:23Label, label, label, label, label, label, label.
01:19:26Label.
01:19:30It's twice the size of Tiny Ten.
01:19:35Mr. Robert Cratchit, 2 Porter Street, Camden Town.
01:19:38That's you, Robert.
01:19:40These ways, there's no one else I know of.
01:19:43I think I know who sent it.
01:19:45Who?
01:19:46Who?
01:19:46Who?
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.
01:19:56What would make Mr. Scrooge take such leave of his senses suddenly?
01:19:59Christmas?
01:20:00Christmas?
01:20:01Christmas?
01:20:02In Scrooge town, where I was born, there was a fair maid dwelling, made every year.
01:20:32To a проект that she called hollow, cry well a day, her name was Robin Allen.
01:20:38All in the merry month of May
01:20:43When green bulbs they were swelling
01:20:47Young Jenny proved what 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, well, there she came
01:21:13Young man, I think
01:21:16Uncle Ebenezer!
01:21:23Fred, is it too late to accept your invitation to dinner?
01:21:27Too late? I'm delighted, delighted!
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?
01:21:51Bless you, dear uncle!
01:21:58You've made Fred so happy!
01:22:01Oh, bless you!
01:22:07Dennis, polka!
01:22:09Come on, everybody!
01:22:24Come on, everybody!
01:22:28Everybody!
01:22:36Come on, everybody!
01:22:38Everybody!
01:22:42You've loosened leather
01:22:45You've made my schon

01:25:36Scrooge was better than his word.
01:25:39He became as good a friend, as good a master, and 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, he became a second father.
01:25:55Uncle Scrooge!
01:25:59And it was always said that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if 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, God bless us, everyone.
