00:00:00A Christmas Carol
00:00:30A Christmas Carol
00:00:38Tell me a tale about Christmas
00:00:40That's brimming with fun and good cheer
00:00:44Tell me a tale to bring laughter
00:00:46And maybe the hint of a tear
00:00:49Tell an old tale about Miser
00:00:52Who spoils every joy that he can
00:00:55Can we get older and wiser?
00:00:58Will he become a good man?
00:01:01Christmas stories
00:01:03What more memories they bring
00:01:06Christmas carols
00:01:09Make me want to sing
00:01:12Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:01:23Sing me a song full of wonder
00:01:25Like snow from the heavens above
00:01:29Sing me a song about Christmas
00:01:33Sing me a song of love
00:01:40Na-na-na-na-na-no
00:01:43Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-am-em-uh-ef-
00:01:45Na-na-na-na-na-n-na-am-em-o-m-n-a-a
00:01:56Also to be with switching
00:02:00The fossfrage
00:02:03You won't get me again.
00:02:13Oh, there he goes.
00:02:15Stop me.
00:02:18I'm going to get you again.
00:02:21No, no, you won't.
00:02:33Christmas.
00:02:52Christmas.
00:02:54Christmas.
00:02:56Christmas.
00:02:57That's it.
00:02:59Sorry, Mr. Scrooge.
00:03:02Dammit!
00:03:06Dammit!
00:03:32Excuse me, dog.
00:03:37Beat it, brat.
00:03:42Cratchit, go fetch that coal.
00:03:46Yes, Mr. Scrooge.
00:03:47Excuse me, sir.
00:03:48A merry Christmas, Uncle Ebenezer.
00:03:52Bah!
00:03:53Humbug!
00:03:54Christmas, a humbug?
00:03:55Well, you don't mean that.
00:03:56I do.
00:03:57I do.
00:03:58Merry Christmas.
00:03:59What right have you been doing?
00:04:00What right have you been doing?
00:04:01What right have you been doing?
00:04:02I'm going to fetch that coal.
00:04:03Yes, Mr. Scrooge.
00:04:04Excuse me, sir.
00:04:05A merry Christmas, Uncle Ebenezer.
00:04:07Bah!
00:04:08Humbug.
00:04:09Christmas, a humbug?
00:04:10You don't mean that.
00:04:11I do.
00:04:12Merry Christmas.
00:04:13What right have you to be merry?
00:04:14You're poor enough.
00:04:15What right have you to be grumpy?
00:04:16You're rich enough.
00:04:17Yes, rich enough to realize Christmas is a time for foods.
00:04:18finding themselves a year older and not an hour richer.
00:04:23If I had my way, every numbskull who goes about spouting Merry Christmas would be a
00:04:42If I had my way, every numbskull who goes about spouting Merry Christmas
00:04:47should be stuffed like a turkey buried with a stake of holly through his heart.
00:04:56Uncle? Nephew?
00:04:59Keep Christmas in your own way, and let me keep it in mine.
00:05:04Keep it? But you don't keep it.
00:05:06No, I keep busy, especially at this wasteful time of year.
00:05:12Wasteful? I've always thought of Christmas as a rewarding time.
00:05:17Even putting aside its sacred name and origin, Christmas is still a joyous, wonderful season.
00:05:24The only time in the whole year when folks seem to open their hearts and treat strangers as friends,
00:05:31and therefore, Uncle, though it's never put silver in my pocket, I say God bless Christmas.
00:05:42Give us a smile, Uncle. Tomorrow is Christmas.
00:06:09Good afternoon.
00:06:12Well, have dinner with my wife and me.
00:06:14Good afternoon.
00:06:17Very well. If you want to be miserable, fine.
00:06:20But I'll hang on to my holiday spirit to the last.
00:06:22So, Merry Christmas, Uncle.
00:06:26Good afternoon.
00:06:30And a Happy New Year.
00:06:32Good afternoon!
00:06:33Scrooge and Marley's, yes?
00:06:41Have I the pleasure of addressing Mr. Scrooge or Mr. Marley?
00:06:44Mr. Marley died seven years ago this very night.
00:06:50Oh, dear.
00:06:53However, we have no doubt your generosity matches that of your deceased partners.
00:06:58Hmm?
00:06:59Here you are, Mr. Scrooge.
00:07:03That's only five lumps.
00:07:05Where's the sixth?
00:07:07The snow, sir.
00:07:09Back to work.
00:07:11Gold's not cheap, you know.
00:07:12Uh, generosity, yes.
00:07:18Uh, at this festive season, it is compassionate to provide for the poor and destitute who suffer greatly at this time.
00:07:29What shall I put you down for?
00:07:36Nothing.
00:07:37Ah, you wish to be anonymous.
00:07:41I wish to be left alone.
00:07:44I don't make merry at Christmas, and I can't afford to make idle people merry.
00:07:50But surely, sir, I do my share.
00:07:54My taxes pay for the prisons and workhouses, and those who are badly off should go there.
00:08:00But many would rather die.
00:08:03Then they should do it.
00:08:04And decrease the surplus population.
00:08:08But, sir, thousands are in need of simple comforts.
00:08:14It's not my business, gentlemen.
00:08:17Good afternoon.
00:08:20But, Mr. Scrooge...
00:08:21Damn it!
00:08:22Oh, my gosh!
00:08:41Hello?
00:08:59Beat it, beggar!
00:09:00No!
00:09:01No, sir. This is my son, Tim.
00:09:04Oh, you have a family?
00:09:07Hm. He's awfully, um, tiny.
00:09:12Yes. Yes, he is. He's our tiny Tim.
00:09:17Hm. You'll want all day off tomorrow, I suppose.
00:09:24If it's convenient, sir.
00:09:26It's not convenient. And it's not fair.
00:09:30If I docked you for it, you'd feel cheated, I imagine.
00:09:35And yet, you don't think me cheated when I pay a day's wages for no work?
00:09:41It is only once a year, sir.
00:09:43A poor excuse for picking my pocket every December the 25th.
00:09:48But I suppose I've got to give you the whole day.
00:09:52Just be here an hour earlier next morning.
00:09:55Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
00:09:57And a very merry...
00:09:59Um...
00:10:00Merry evening, sir.
00:10:02Come, son.
00:10:04He...
00:10:05He likes me, Baba!
00:10:07Ooh?
00:10:08Damn it!
00:10:14Get the light, you liability!
00:10:17I'm so happy!
00:10:19It's okay.
00:10:20I'm like...
00:10:21...immediatamente.
00:10:22I'm so happy!
00:10:23I'm so happy.
00:10:25Let's go!
00:10:26I'm so happy because I have to take it on my spot.
00:10:27I can't.
00:10:28I'm so happy!
00:10:29Oh, my God!
00:10:30Yeah.
00:10:31Oh, my God.
00:10:32Oh, my God.
00:10:33I'm so happy.
00:10:34Yeah, I'm so happy.
00:10:35I'm so happy to take a day.
00:10:36I can't make a day.
00:10:37I can't even go.
00:10:38I'm so happy.
00:10:39I'm so happy.
00:11:10Go, Horsley!
00:11:21Dammit!
00:11:34That old villain's cold as ice in me!
00:11:40Oh, look at the size of hell!
00:11:47Turkey!
00:11:48Doesn't it?
00:11:49Oh, damn it!
00:11:51What'll it be, ducky?
00:11:52Hash for me, scraps for my dog, and be quick about it!
00:12:06What'll it be, ducky?
00:12:07Hash for me, scraps for my dog, and be quick about it!
00:12:13Every day the same thing! Cheapest meal on a menu!
00:12:14When he could afford a feast every night, Bill skimpfed!
00:12:20Oh, well, can't let him ruin a holiday now, can we?
00:12:21Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:12:22Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:12:23It's Christmas time at last, revelers prepare!
00:12:25Can't you feel a blast of fresh excitement in the air?
00:12:26The reef is out of hock, hollies in the hall, but take some stock before you pin that stocking
00:12:33to the wall!
00:12:34Random acts of kindness!
00:12:35Random acts of kindness!
00:12:36Random acts of kindness!
00:12:37Random acts of kindness!
00:12:38Random acts of kindness!
00:12:39Have you spread your share of merry Christmas cheer?
00:12:40Perform an act of kindness?
00:12:41Random acts of kindness!
00:12:42Random acts of kindness!
00:12:43Random acts of kindness!
00:12:52Random acts of kindness!
00:12:53Random acts of kindness!
00:12:54Random acts of kindness!
00:12:55Have you spread your share of merry Christmas cheer?
00:12:58Perform an act of kindness?
00:13:00Random acts of kindness!
00:13:02More than once a year!
00:13:05For example, offering a spoon!
00:13:07Springin' for the nog!
00:13:09Throwing out the bone to throw a banquet for the dog
00:13:12Freshening a drink, sharing what you earned
00:13:16Giving without thinking that it's got to be returned
00:13:19Random acts of kindness, random acts of kindness
00:13:22Preferably performed with anonymity
00:13:25It's your yuletide duty
00:13:27Commit some senseless beauty
00:13:29Pogs, sell off on me
00:13:31Love makes David so pleasing
00:13:35Tis the seasonal why
00:13:38Still the biggest trick is getting into sick
00:13:41Of the Christmas day
00:13:44Oh!
00:13:46Ah!
00:13:47Bug, give up Bummer Bob, he'll go buy a pint of ale
00:13:51Then he'll borrow, beg and rob you and at best end up in jail
00:13:55When he's been released, who'll come breaking through your door?
00:13:58That's what good your beastly brand of charity is for
00:14:01Random acts of kindness, random acts
00:14:04You'll find no good deed goes unpunished and no crook goes straight
00:14:07Random sacrifices
00:14:09Falsely playing aces, man's most hateful trait
00:14:13See the Christmas snow falling
00:14:17Don't it target your heart
00:14:20While you're in this phase, better change your ways
00:14:24Now's the time to start
00:14:26Now's the time to start
00:14:27Now's the time to start
00:14:29Random acts of kindness, random acts of kindness
00:14:33Just in case it's you who wins up on the ground
00:14:36Time we went in fandom, kindly acts at random
00:14:39Make the world go go
00:14:43Waitress, here's the only tip you'll be getting from me
00:14:49Find a new chef, your hash isn't fit for a dog
00:14:53Please, sir
00:15:18Jacob?
00:15:41Go
00:15:47Ah
00:15:47Ah
00:15:49Ah
00:15:51Red ship, animal
00:15:53Ah
00:15:54Ah
00:15:55Ah
00:15:56Ah
00:15:58Ah
00:15:59Ah
00:16:01Ah
00:16:03Ah
00:16:04Ah
00:16:05Ah
00:16:05Ah
00:16:06Ah
00:16:08Ah
00:16:10Stupid dog.
00:16:18Let's go.
00:16:48Let's go.
00:17:18Scrooge.
00:17:32Scrooge.
00:17:33Scrooge.
00:17:41Scrooge.
00:17:43Scrooge.
00:17:45Go away.
00:17:47I won't believe it.
00:17:51Shut up.
00:17:53It's nothing.
00:17:59Oh, fool.
00:18:13You're acting like a dunderhead.
00:18:15No such thing as spirits.
00:18:19What is it, Debbie?
00:18:31What is it, Debbie?
00:18:33Oh.
00:18:37Oh.
00:18:41Ebeneezer Scrooge.
00:18:43Oh.
00:18:53Ebeneezer Scrooge.
00:18:57Sick him.
00:18:59Look at me, Ebeneezer.
00:19:13In life, I was your partner.
00:19:17Jacob Marley.
00:19:21I heard you had no heart, Jacob.
00:19:25Now I see it's true.
00:19:27So you believe in me, then?
00:19:31I don't.
00:19:33You're probably just some undigested food.
00:19:37Some bad beef or a blob of mustard.
00:19:41There's more of gravy than of grave about you.
00:19:45Oh.
00:20:01Mercy.
00:20:03Why do you haunt me?
00:20:05I've come to warn you.
00:20:08To spare you my fate.
00:20:11All this...
00:20:13...cardware?
00:20:15I wear the chain I forged in life.
00:20:19I made it link by link.
00:20:23This link was when I evicted those orphans.
00:20:27And here's when I cheated old Mrs. Avery.
00:20:31And your chain was this long and heavy seven years ago.
00:20:37You should see it now, Ebeneezer.
00:20:43I can't see a chain.
00:20:45I can.
00:20:47And it is a monstrous one.
00:20:51It is our human duty to walk among our neighbors and do good.
00:20:57If we fail to do this while we're alive, then we're doomed to do it after death.
00:21:09Look.
00:21:11See that poor woman?
00:21:13It's not my business.
00:21:15Mankind is our business.
00:21:19Please, take this for the babe.
00:21:29By the time we realize we must help one another, it is usually too late.
00:21:37When we're dead, we can no longer do any earthly good.
00:21:44But I have good news.
00:21:46Tonight, on the anniversary of my death, I've been given the opportunity to warn you, Scrooge.
00:21:56Perhaps you can escape my fate.
00:22:01Really? You simply visit me and then everything's alright?
00:22:06Almost.
00:22:08You'll also be haunted by three spirits.
00:22:14No deal.
00:22:16Without their visits, you cannot hope to break your chains.
00:22:22I don't care, Jacob. I like chains. No ghosts, you hear me?
00:22:27Expect the first, when the bell tolls one.
00:22:42No ghosts!
00:22:49Bah! Humbug!
00:22:57The
00:23:21Good morning, Ebenezer Scrooge.
00:23:27Boo!
00:23:40Are you the first spirit Jacob talked about?
00:23:44Spot on, Governor. I'm the ghost of Christmas past.
00:23:48Long past?
00:23:50No. Your past. Follow me.
00:23:55It's for your own good.
00:23:59A night of unbroken sleep would be better for my good than this.
00:24:05Shovel your stump, Scrooge.
00:24:14I'm not made of mist and moonlight like you.
00:24:18I'll fall.
00:24:20No.
00:24:21Run, run, run, run.
00:24:23David, run.
00:24:24Run, run, run, run.
00:24:25Run, run, run.
00:24:27Run, run, run.
00:24:32Stop fussing.
00:24:34You're no help, dammit. Let go.
00:24:37Run, run, run.
00:24:39Run, run, run.
00:24:40Run, run, run, run.
00:24:41Run, run, run, run.
00:24:52I was a boy here.
00:24:54I was a boy here.
00:24:57Aye, Governor, this year was your boarding school.
00:25:01Do you recollect the way?
00:25:03Recollect it? I could walk it blindfold.
00:25:24Ah, chalk dust and wood smoke.
00:25:54What you see are but shadows of the things that have been.
00:26:09They can't see of us.
00:26:11Oh, of course.
00:26:13Well, why didn't you think of that, you twit?
00:26:16A small boy, all alone.
00:26:24Neglected by his friends.
00:26:26Rejected by the father, what Levimir.
00:26:29It is...
00:26:32me.
00:26:34Poor forgotten boy.
00:26:37He, I, was never invited home for the holidays.
00:26:43Alone.
00:26:45Stranded.
00:26:48I wish.
00:26:50What's the matter, eh?
00:26:52There was a boy at my door last night.
00:26:55Perhaps I should have given him something.
00:26:58That's all.
00:26:59You did, Guff.
00:27:01A feast full of coal!
00:27:03It's Robinson Crusoe.
00:27:13Yes.
00:27:14I remember this day.
00:27:17He was my favourite storybook character.
00:27:20Blimey.
00:27:21You've been visited by spirits before.
00:27:24Don't mock me, Shade.
00:27:27Everyone's gone but the cat.
00:27:44Once again I'm all alone.
00:27:48But all I need are my shadows.
00:27:53To show them I'm fine on my own.
00:27:59I'll slay the beast.
00:28:11I'll bring the feast.
00:28:14I'll throw a carnival with forty clowns at least.
00:28:21I'll ride a whale.
00:28:25I'll find the grail.
00:28:28I'll be a matador.
00:28:31What's more I'll live to tell the tale.
00:28:35Like Arthur on his throne.
00:28:39I won't be alone.
00:28:42Once I pull the sword out of the stone.
00:28:51Not sad at all.
00:28:54Up on the wall.
00:28:58See all my friends when shadows fall.
00:29:05But then as the firelight dies,
00:29:09I can see with my own eyes.
00:29:13No friends at all.
00:29:16When shadows fall.
00:29:30Let's see another Christmas.
00:29:35Bah humbug!
00:29:39So many lonely Christmases.
00:29:52Right.
00:29:53But not this one.
00:29:56Ebby!
00:29:58Van!
00:29:59Van!
00:30:00My little sister.
00:30:05I've come to bring you home dear brother.
00:30:07Home?
00:30:08But father.
00:30:09Oh go on father.
00:30:11I'm inviting you.
00:30:12We're family.
00:30:13And I told father I want you at home.
00:30:16Good old Fan.
00:30:18Lovely Fan.
00:30:20Such a large heart for such a tiny creature.
00:30:24She died a woman.
00:30:26Mad as I recall.
00:30:27A child.
00:30:28Yes.
00:30:29My nephew Fred.
00:30:31Goodbye you wretched old school.
00:30:33Fan was right.
00:30:35Fan was right.
00:30:36We had a happy Christmas in spite of father.
00:30:40Oh I wish she were alive to invite me home again.
00:30:45But she has.
00:30:46Through her son Fred.
00:30:48Don't you see?
00:30:49Her goodness lives in him.
00:30:52In him.
00:30:53Yes.
00:30:54Oh I wish.
00:30:55Ooh.
00:30:56Bah.
00:30:57Never mind.
00:30:59Let us visit another kind soon.
00:31:02Why it's old Fezziwig my boss.
00:31:17Bust my buttons.
00:31:18He hasn't changed the bet.
00:31:21Ho ho there.
00:31:24Ebenezer.
00:31:25Ditch.
00:31:26No more work tonight.
00:31:28No no.
00:31:29It's Christmas Eve my boys.
00:31:31Clear away and let's have lots of room here.
00:31:35I was an apprentice here.
00:31:41A good one too.
00:31:42Old Fezziwig treated me like his own son.
00:31:45Ooh.
00:31:46Ooh.
00:31:47Ooh.
00:31:48Ooh.
00:31:49Ooh.
00:31:50Ooh.
00:31:51Ooh.
00:31:52Ooh.
00:31:53Ooh.
00:31:54Ooh.
00:31:55Ooh.
00:31:56Ooh.
00:31:57Ooh.
00:31:58Ooh.
00:31:59Ooh.
00:32:00Ooh.
00:32:01Ooh.
00:32:02Ooh.
00:32:03Ooh.
00:32:04Ooh.
00:32:05Ooh.
00:32:06Ooh.
00:32:07Ooh.
00:32:08Ooh.
00:32:09Ooh.
00:32:10Ooh.
00:32:11Ooh.
00:32:12Ooh.
00:32:13Ooh.
00:32:14Ooh.
00:32:15Ooh.
00:32:16Ooh.
00:32:17Ooh.
00:32:18Ooh.
00:32:19Ooh.
00:32:20Ooh.
00:32:21Ooh.
00:32:22Ooh.
00:32:23Ooh.
00:32:24Ooh.
00:32:25Ooh.
00:32:26Ooh.
00:32:27Ooh.
00:32:28Ooh.
00:32:29Ooh.
00:32:30Ooh.
00:32:31Ooh.
00:32:32Ooh.
00:32:33Good old Fezziwig.
00:33:01Show me a better boss than that, eh?
00:33:05So he spent a bit of cash on some song and dance.
00:33:08We're surprising that, eh?
00:33:10Bit of coin?
00:33:12You couldn't buy that much happiness with a fortune.
00:33:15He had the power to render us happy or sad,
00:33:18to make our jobs a pleasure or a drudgery.
00:33:23He must have set quite an example for you.
00:33:28Now what?
00:33:29Oh, nothing particular.
00:33:31I'd like to be able to say something to Bob Cratchit just now.
00:33:36That's all.
00:33:38Cut. My time grows short.
00:33:41It's Belle.
00:33:53Good news, my darling.
00:33:55Guess what I've got.
00:33:57Give me a hint, Ebenezer.
00:34:00It's small and round and gold.
00:34:03And it holds the future.
00:34:05A ring?
00:34:07No, the profits were my first business venture.
00:34:10Isn't it wonderful, Belle?
00:34:12Now I'm sure to be a success.
00:34:14Stop talking, you mindless pup.
00:34:19Belle?
00:34:21No, we've reached this bridge together.
00:34:31That I hope will soon be crossed.
00:34:36So don't put a price on the paradise, or our paradise is lost.
00:34:46Any bridge leads to disaster
00:34:49If its moorings aren't secure
00:34:54Heaven won't provide
00:34:58On the bridge's dark side
00:35:00It's our wealth which will endure
00:35:04I'll cross this bridge with you
00:35:09I'll cross this bridge with you
00:35:15Show me the man that I once knew
00:35:20And I'll cross this bridge with you
00:35:24No one lives on hopes and wishes
00:35:29Love alone grows dry and cold
00:35:34But the sun will shine
00:35:37On these bright dreams of mine
00:35:40As upon this coin of gold
00:35:44Can I cross this bridge with you?
00:35:48I'm who I am
00:35:49Your words leave me split in two
00:35:53What else can I do?
00:35:55Has love begun or is it through?
00:35:59Should I cross this bridge with you?
00:36:03Life so rocky and an uncertain course to chart
00:36:10Speak of love so love can start
00:36:12Why not be safe and smart
00:36:15Where's your passion?
00:36:17Where's your heart?
00:36:17Now it's time to say goodbye to
00:36:22Frivolous dreams we know
00:36:25Frivolous dreams we know
00:36:27Can't we cross this bridge together?
00:36:32I'll cross this bridge
00:36:37Go after her you fool
00:36:51Stop
00:36:56Don't show me anymore
00:36:58I told you
00:37:00These are the shadows of the things that have passed
00:37:03Don't go blaming me for your choices
00:37:06Why are you torturing me like this spirit?
00:37:09Leave me alone
00:37:11Please
00:37:12Take me back home
00:37:14Haunt me no more
00:37:17Spirit
00:37:20A bad dream, was it?
00:37:29Crying in your sleep
00:37:31Thick-headed old ninny
00:37:33I'm not gonna take it anymore
00:37:38You hear me, spirits?
00:37:41No more
00:37:43No more
00:38:13It's a different dog.
00:38:43What in blazes?
00:39:00Come out, Demedys of Scrooge!
00:39:11Come out, come out and know me better!
00:39:26Observe me Scrooge, I am the ghost of Christmas present!
00:39:30No, go away!
00:39:37I bet you've never had a guest like me before!
00:39:45I bet you've never had a guest like me before!
00:39:53I'm sure I haven't, madam!
00:40:00You bet your prayers bed!
00:40:04Nor have you entertained any of my earlier family members!
00:40:08I'm afraid not!
00:40:11Do you have many sisters, Spirit?
00:40:14Nearly 1900!
00:40:16Come, touch my robe!
00:40:18After that last spirit, I'd rather not!
00:40:23Oh!
00:40:24Oh no!
00:40:25This is not a multiple choice, Mr. Grumpyface!
00:40:28Come!
00:40:29But my dog gets lonely!
00:40:31He needs me to stay with you!
00:40:33See?
00:40:34Oh!
00:40:35Oh!
00:40:36He seems contented enough to me!
00:40:38Come along!
00:40:40I've got to get a lock for that window!
00:40:42Happy Christmas!
00:40:43Happy me!
00:40:44Happy everyone!
00:40:45Woo-ha-ha!
00:40:46Happy humbug!
00:40:47What?
00:40:48Backsliding already?
00:40:49Well, it's just that why should I be accused of being selfish when...
00:40:51Yes?
00:40:52When Christmas is a selfish holiday!
00:41:09What?
00:41:12So, tell me, Scrooge!
00:41:16So, tell me, Scrooge, was that selfish?
00:41:24Yes. You only saved me so you can annoy me further.
00:41:30What a tough old walnut you are.
00:41:32All right, then. Let's see if I can convince you otherwise.
00:41:46I'll never forget it. Oh, I'm so happy. What a wonderful Christmas day.
00:41:54This is the best Christmas ever.
00:41:56Martha, my dear, what's keeping your father and brother?
00:42:06Here they are now.
00:42:08Spirit, who are these people? What do they have to do with me?
00:42:13Just hold your horses.
00:42:16Good evening, Mrs. Cratchit, and all you little Cratchits.
00:42:23Hello, Father.
00:42:25The Cratchits? I had no idea Bob lived so humbly.
00:42:31Well, what did you think with the wage you pay him?
00:42:36How was he in charge?
00:42:39As good as gold. No, better.
00:42:42What? There's something better than gold?
00:42:44Oh, my goodness. That looks delicious.
00:42:47That looks delicious.
00:42:47Oh, I'm so hungry.
00:42:50Everyone's in company.
00:42:52So, do you want to talk or eat?
00:42:54Eat.
00:42:55Eat.
00:42:55I give you the delighter of our stomachs, Mrs. Cratchit.
00:43:06Here, here.
00:43:07That was delicious.
00:43:08That was lovely.
00:43:10And I give you the founder of our feast, Mr. Scrooge.
00:43:16Founder of the feast, indeed.
00:43:18I wish I had him here.
00:43:20I'd give him a piece of my mind to feast upon.
00:43:28Please, dear, it's Christmas time at last.
00:43:31Grievances or not, it's been Mr. Scrooge who's kept the chicken in our pot.
00:43:35Yes, it's Christmas Day, but Scrooge has done us ill.
00:43:38We must find a way somehow to exercise goodwill.
00:43:42How?
00:43:42Random acts of kindness.
00:43:43Look on him with kindness.
00:43:45Can't you see a Scrooge who simply starved for love?
00:43:48Your kindness is poetic.
00:43:50Kind and sympathetic.
00:43:52We got plenty of.
00:43:55Mr. Scrooge is a poor man.
00:43:58He's a good way to live.
00:44:01Greedy folks believe it's better to receive.
00:44:04We're just rather gay.
00:44:10Random acts of kindness.
00:44:12He could use some kindness.
00:44:13I've got you to love and all he's got's his wealth.
00:44:16Your goodness takes the cake.
00:44:18Bob, still for goodness sake, we'll drink.
00:44:20These minds as hell.
00:44:24To Scrooge!
00:44:28I provide them with an income.
00:44:31And this is how they treat me.
00:44:33Oh, you're too good for Scrooge, Bob.
00:44:35But I'll drink his elf for your sake.
00:44:38A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
00:44:40Though with all his money, he's merry enough, I'll bet.
00:44:45Oh, very good.
00:44:47Now clear away.
00:44:50Let me, Tim.
00:44:51You go warm up.
00:44:52Look familiar?
00:45:14Chalk dust and wood smoke.
00:45:25He told me, coming home, that he hoped the people saw him in the church because he was sick.
00:45:31And it might be nice for them to be thankful for their health and good fortune.
00:45:35I am.
00:45:37You am what?
00:45:39Oh, nothing.
00:45:40Nothing.
00:45:51Robinson Crusoe.
00:45:53Oh, you see here?
00:45:54This is just before the pirates attack.
00:45:56Oh, dear.
00:45:58Forget I said that.
00:45:59I don't want to ruin it for you.
00:46:01Oh, but it's so exciting.
00:46:04Yes.
00:46:04Read on.
00:46:05Read.
00:46:07A remarkable boy.
00:46:10But so frail.
00:46:12Spirit, tell me if Tiny Tim will live.
00:46:15I see an empty seat in the chimney corner and a crutch without an owner.
00:46:23If these shadows remain unaltered by the future, the child will die.
00:46:28No.
00:46:29Oh, no, Spirit.
00:46:31Say he'll be spared.
00:46:32Well, if he's going to die, he should do it and decrease the surplus population, right?
00:46:40I...
00:46:41I didn't mean...
00:46:42Next time, find out who the surplus is.
00:46:46Remember, Scrooge, no one is worthless or unfit to live.
00:46:51A Merry Christmas to us all, my dears.
00:46:55Ooh, that looks nice.
00:46:56God bless us.
00:47:04Yes.
00:47:05God bless us, everyone.
00:47:08Hear, hear.
00:47:09I'm so thankful to be in the bosom of my wonderful family at Christmas time.
00:47:15I wish I had a family to be with.
00:47:19Ah, but you do, you silly man.
00:47:21What place is this?
00:47:24The house of your only living relative.
00:47:29Nephew friend.
00:47:31And then the old fellow said,
00:47:33What's Christmas?
00:47:34What a time for finding yourself a year older and not an hour richer.
00:47:41He may not, but it's true.
00:47:43Oh, Scrooge.
00:47:46Just listen to you.
00:47:48Oh, you're just so funny now, aren't you?
00:47:51Oh, I love you.
00:47:53Did your Uncle Scrooge really say that?
00:47:56Yes, and that Christmas was a humbug.
00:48:00He's the humbug, Fred.
00:48:04I want to go now.
00:48:07Stay put.
00:48:09You like this.
00:48:11He's a comical old fellow, but I have nothing bad to say about him.
00:48:15What? Not even his stinginess?
00:48:18No, his wealth does him no good, so I am sorry for him, really.
00:48:23And so I'll invite him to celebrate Christmas every year for my sweet mother's sake.
00:48:27I know it's hard to believe, but she loved him dearly.
00:48:31I never realized how...
00:48:32Yes?
00:48:33...how much he looks like Fan.
00:48:36And with such a big heart.
00:48:38Now, in honor of my mother, I want to teach you all a song that she and her brother Ebenezer used to perform when their father wasn't around.
00:48:50And you must all join in.
00:48:54Yes, I remembered this Santa's sooty suit.
00:48:57T'was last Christmas Eve.
00:49:00I had a cause to hide beneath the stairs.
00:49:04I stayed awake for Santa Claus and caught him unawares.
00:49:10He was coming through the fireplace from the chimney's smoky chute.
00:49:16And I never quite saw such a sight as Santa's sooty suit.
00:49:23Oh, he never quite saw such a sight as Santa's sooty suit.
00:49:27Scrub-a-dub-a-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub.
00:49:29Scrub-a-dub-a-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub.
00:49:30T'was a red-red velvet jacket you could tell was once a beaut
00:49:33Of a torn and tousled trouser-street with slushy stains to boot
00:49:37With the blackened, beaten bridges of a big and burly brute
00:49:40Never dreamed I might see such a fright as Santa's sooty suit.
00:49:44Never dreamed I might see such a fright as Santa's sooty suit.
00:49:47Scrub-a-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub.
00:49:49Scrub-a-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub.
00:49:51Come then, it's time for the missus.
00:49:53It had flotty brownish buckles and a belt of licorice root
00:49:57With scruffy-fluffy ruffles fallen into disrepute.
00:50:00It was smudgy, soiled and sullied if somehow sort of cute.
00:50:04Wish I had a quid for each stain that's hid on Santa's sooty suit.
00:50:07Wish I had a quid for each stain that's hid on Santa's sooty suit.
00:50:10Scrub-a-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub.
00:50:16Now Santa talks to him.
00:50:18Then old Santa did address me, and his tone was resolute.
00:50:23He said, son, don't second-guess me.
00:50:27Come and be my new recruit.
00:50:31His appeal did so impress me, I was near about to scoot.
00:50:37Then I looked up heaven, bless me at old Santa's sooty suit
00:50:43Then I looked up heaven, bless me at old Santa's sooty suit
00:50:47Come on everybody, let's put it all together
00:50:49T'was a ripped red velvet jacket, you could tell was once a beaut
00:50:53Overtorn and tussled trousers, streaked with slushy stains to boot
00:50:56With the black and beaten breeches of a big and burly boot
00:50:59All in there were dots more need of subs than Santa's feet
00:51:01Had blotchy brownish buckles and a belt of liquish root
00:51:04With scruffy fluffy ruffles falling into disrepute
00:51:07It was smudgy, soiled, sully, it's somehow sorta cute
00:51:10Never dreamed I might see such a fright
00:51:11Then make that night when I look bright
00:51:13At Santa's stinky, gray and inky, messy, mucky, icky, yucky
00:51:16Grungy, grubby, needs a scrubby scrubbing up a sooty suit
00:51:19Hey!
00:51:27Did you see me, spirit?
00:51:32Yes, Scrooge, very merry, however we must go now
00:51:37But I was just enjoying myself
00:51:39Scrooge, my stay upon this earth is very brief
00:51:44It ends this very night
00:51:46Are spirits' lives so short?
00:51:55Farewell, farewell Ebeneezer, Scrooge
00:51:59Spirit?
00:52:04Spirit?
00:52:10Spirit?
00:52:12Spirit?
00:52:19Speak to me, spirit
00:52:22Am I correct that you are the ghost of Christmas yet to come?
00:52:43Will you not speak to me?
00:52:46Is it you who will show me shadows of the things that have not yet happened?
00:52:52Oh, ghost of the future, I fear you most of all.
00:53:00But if your goal is to do me good, then I hope to be a better person than before.
00:53:09Lead on.
00:53:17This is the business exchange. I come here often.
00:53:22But where am I today?
00:53:27No, I don't know much about it either way. I only know he died last night.
00:53:32Well, the devil has got his own at last, eh?
00:53:36What's he done with his money?
00:53:38Well, he hasn't left it to me. That's all I know.
00:53:42Gentlemen, tell me, which of our colleagues has died?
00:53:45It'll probably be a cheap funeral, because nobody will go to it.
00:53:50Oh, I don't mind going, if a lunch is provided.
00:53:55Well, good day.
00:53:59Spirit, I don't understand the meaning of this.
00:54:02Who has died?
00:54:03I don't understand the meaning of this.
00:54:04I don't understand the meaning of this.
00:54:05I don't understand the meaning of this.
00:54:06I don't understand the meaning of this.
00:54:07I don't understand the meaning of this.
00:54:08I don't understand the meaning of this.
00:54:09I don't understand the meaning of this.
00:54:10I don't understand the meaning of this.
00:54:11I don't understand the meaning of this.
00:54:12I don't understand the meaning of this.
00:54:13I don't understand the meaning of this.
00:54:14I don't understand the meaning of this.
00:54:15I don't understand the meaning of this.
00:54:16I don't understand the meaning of this.
00:54:17I don't understand the meaning of this.
00:54:18I don't understand the meaning of this.
00:54:19I don't understand the meaning of this.
00:54:20I don't understand the meaning of this.
00:54:21I don't understand the meaning of this.
00:54:22I don't understand the meaning of this.
00:54:23Look what I found under here.
00:54:39Silver they are.
00:54:41Think you'll miss them?
00:54:42Nah.
00:54:44His tea-starring days are over.
00:54:48If he wanted someone to look after his belongings after he was dead,
00:54:52he should have made friends when he was still breathing.
00:54:57I loved Fro where words was never spoke.
00:55:02You don't mean to take him with him lying there.
00:55:05Why not?
00:55:07It's not like he's going to catch cold without him.
00:55:10Or without his bed curtains either.
00:55:16Spirit, this is a fearful place.
00:55:21But I see the lesson.
00:55:23The fate of this unhappy man might happen to me someday.
00:55:29Right?
00:55:33Oh, this is too harsh to bear.
00:55:36Let me see some tenderness connected with the death I beseech you.
00:55:41The lamp is so bright it hurts my eyes.
00:55:57I mustn't show weak eyes to your father when he comes home.
00:56:00It must be near his time.
00:56:02Past it?
00:56:02I think he walks a little slower than he used to, Mother.
00:56:06Oh, I have known him to walk with tiny Tim up on his shoulder very fast indeed.
00:56:13But he was very light to carry and no trouble.
00:56:17No trouble.
00:56:19Sorry I'm late.
00:56:21You went there to die, Robert?
00:56:23Yes, dear.
00:56:24I wish you all could have gone.
00:56:26You would have enjoyed seeing how great the place it is.
00:56:29I promised him that I would walk there on Sunday.
00:56:33My little boy.
00:56:35My little boy.
00:56:42No, Spectre.
00:56:43No.
00:56:44Not tiny Tim.
00:56:51Spirit, tell me.
00:56:54Can this cruel future be changed?
00:56:58Is this, then, where that wretched dead man now lies underground?
00:57:13No.
00:57:14Before I look closer, answer me one question.
00:57:32Are these the shadows of the things that will be, or only the things that might be?
00:57:38All lives lead to certain ends, but if our lives change, then the ends must also change, right?
00:57:48They must.
00:57:50No.
00:57:50That lonely corpse was me.
00:58:11Oh, no.
00:58:13No.
00:58:15Don't let me die unmourned.
00:58:18Spirit, listen.
00:58:20I am not the man I was.
00:58:23I've changed.
00:58:25I will honour Christmas in my heart and keep it all the year.
00:58:30I will learn from the past.
00:58:33I will live in the present, and I will hope for the future.
00:58:38I will keep the three spirits in my soul and remember their lessons always.
00:58:44Good spirit, I'm not that man anymore.
00:58:55Why show me these shadows if I am past all hope?
00:58:59Please tell me that I can make a brighter future than this.
00:59:04All alone.
00:59:19Stranded.
00:59:20I'm home.
00:59:35I'm home.
00:59:37I'm home.
00:59:42I'm home.
00:59:44I've been given another chance, Deppet, and so have you.
00:59:57Oh, heaven and Christmas time be praised.
01:00:01I say it on my knees, old Jacob.
01:00:04On my knees.
01:00:07My spoons, they're still here.
01:00:23The dark shadows of things that would have been are gone.
01:00:28I know they are.
01:00:30I heard a tale about Christmas, whose truth caused my spirit to burn.
01:00:39My present, my past, and my future taught me I'd so much to learn.
01:00:46I've lived a tale of a miser who spoiled every joy that he could.
01:00:53Then he got older and wiser, and only yearned to be good.
01:01:00Once my memories brought me nothing but pain.
01:01:06Now it's Christmas with new precious memories to gain.
01:01:12I'll sing a song full of wonder, like snow from the heavens above.
01:01:16I'll sing a song full of wonder, like snow from the heavens above.
01:01:47Yes.
01:01:48You, lad.
01:01:51Wait.
01:01:52Don't run.
01:01:54Please.
01:01:55But what is it, then?
01:01:57Do you know the poultry shop down the street?
01:02:00Ha!
01:02:01Snow White?
01:02:02An intelligent boy.
01:02:04A remarkable boy.
01:02:06Do you know whether they've sold the prized turkey that was hanging there?
01:02:11What, the one as big as me?
01:02:13Yes, my lad.
01:02:15That very one.
01:02:17Tell him to bring it here, and I'll give you a silver coin.
01:02:22Do you mean it?
01:02:23Aye, lad.
01:02:25Come back in less than five minutes, and I'll give you two.
01:02:29Ha!

01:03:38For my selfishness.
01:03:41Well, certainly.
01:03:43So, you'll come see me tomorrow at my office?
01:03:47Most certainly.
01:03:49But, Mr Scrooge, why now?
01:03:51Because it's too late to do it when we're dead.
01:03:57Yes, yes, of course.
01:03:59Thank you, thank you, Mr Scrooge.
01:04:01Thank you, gentlemen.
01:04:06You had debit.
01:04:08I like this feeling.
01:04:11Though I'm not used to all this smiling yet.
01:04:15Well, my dears, we may truly count our blessings.
