00:30:24,157 --> 00:30:27,995
PAST: Weep for the boy,
if the tears will come.
347
00:30:28,412 --> 00:30:31,123
SCROOGE:
He has his friends, even on this day.
348
00:30:31,748 --> 00:30:33,625
All his beloved books.
349
00:30:34,376 --> 00:30:36,211
His Ali Baba.
350
00:30:36,461 --> 00:30:39,464
Dear old honest Ali Baba.
351
00:30:39,631 --> 00:30:43,260
The Sultan's groom,
turned upside down for Genie.
352
00:30:43,468 --> 00:30:47,514
But not a real child to talk to.
Not a living person.
353
00:30:48,056 --> 00:30:50,517
Robinson Crusoe, not real?
354
00:30:51,184 --> 00:30:53,562
And Friday? And the parrot...
355
00:30:53,812 --> 00:30:56,565
...with green body and yellow tail?
Not real?
356
00:30:58,108 --> 00:31:00,027
He made do, this boy.
357
00:31:00,277 --> 00:31:02,988
Let us see another Christmas Day...
358
00:31:03,238 --> 00:31:04,740
...when you were a youth.
359
00:31:06,700 --> 00:31:08,243
SCROOGE:
Fan.
360
00:31:11,788 --> 00:31:16,168
Fan!
Dear, dear brother.
361
00:31:18,962 --> 00:31:21,423
I've come to bring you home,
dear brother.
362
00:31:21,590 --> 00:31:23,467
To bring you home.
363
00:31:23,633 --> 00:31:25,552
Home.
364
00:31:29,639 --> 00:31:31,391
Home, little Fan?
365
00:31:31,641 --> 00:31:33,185
Yes.
366
00:31:33,435 --> 00:31:35,896
Home for good and all.
367
00:31:36,229 --> 00:31:39,149
Father's much kinder
than he used to be.
368
00:31:39,399 --> 00:31:41,651
He spoke to me so gently
one night...
369
00:31:41,902 --> 00:31:45,280
...I was not afraid to ask once more
if you might come home.
370
00:31:45,489 --> 00:31:49,659
And he said yes, you should.
And sent me in a coach to bring you.
371
00:31:58,835 --> 00:32:01,546
You're quite a woman, little Fan.
372
00:32:01,797 --> 00:32:03,131
And you...
373
00:32:03,381 --> 00:32:05,509
...are to be a man now.
374
00:32:07,094 --> 00:32:09,679
And never come back here.
375
00:32:11,181 --> 00:32:13,308
Come. We mustn't keep Father waiting.
376
00:32:18,105 --> 00:32:19,481
Father!
377
00:32:19,856 --> 00:32:22,234
There, boy, down.
Stand still now.
378
00:32:22,442 --> 00:32:23,693
Let me look at you.
379
00:32:24,402 --> 00:32:27,364
They haven't been overfeeding you,
that's certain.
380
00:32:28,365 --> 00:32:30,575
I've grown. I think.
381
00:32:30,826 --> 00:32:33,120
Yes, most boys do.
382
00:32:33,370 --> 00:32:36,706
You know you won't move back here.
Yes, sir.
383
00:32:36,915 --> 00:32:40,335
It's time you made your way.
I've arranged an apprenticeship.
384
00:32:40,585 --> 00:32:43,713
You'll move into Mr. Fezziwig's
in three days.
385
00:32:43,964 --> 00:32:45,215
FAN:
Three days, Father?
386
00:32:45,423 --> 00:32:47,801
I'd hoped we'd have him home
for longer.
387
00:32:48,009 --> 00:32:49,302
Longer?
388
00:32:49,553 --> 00:32:52,889
Three days is quite long enough
for both of us.
389
00:32:53,140 --> 00:32:54,516
Don't you think, Ebenezer?
390
00:32:56,309 --> 00:32:57,853
Yes, sir.
391
00:32:58,895 --> 00:33:00,772
Quite long enough.
392
00:33:04,151 --> 00:33:07,195
Finished back there?
DRIVER: All safe and secure, sir.
393
00:33:07,404 --> 00:33:08,780
Into the carriage, Fan.
394
00:33:12,325 --> 00:33:13,910
Be on our way.
395
00:33:14,578 --> 00:33:16,830
Into the carriage, boy.
396
00:33:25,839 --> 00:33:27,257
DRIVER:
Giddyap!
397
00:33:30,177 --> 00:33:33,972
Fan pleaded for more time,
but my father was a very...
398
00:33:34,222 --> 00:33:36,433
...stern man.
399
00:33:37,392 --> 00:33:40,520
And Fan--
She died a young woman.
400
00:33:40,770 --> 00:33:43,857
She had such a generous nature.
Yes, too young.
401
00:33:44,065 --> 00:33:47,777
Old enough to bear a child.
One son.
402
00:33:48,028 --> 00:33:50,697
Fred, your nephew.
Fred Holywell, yes.
403
00:33:50,906 --> 00:33:53,742
Who bears a strong
resemblance to your sister.
404
00:33:53,950 --> 00:33:57,329
Does he? I never noticed.
405
00:33:57,579 --> 00:33:59,164
You never noticed?
406
00:33:59,581 --> 00:34:02,751
<i>I think you've gone through life
with your eyes closed.</i>
407
00:34:03,001 --> 00:34:05,545
<i>Open them. Open them wide.</i>
408
00:34:12,135 --> 00:34:13,678
<i>You know this man.</i>
409
00:34:13,929 --> 00:34:16,473
SCROOGE:
<i>It's old Fezziwig.</i>
410
00:34:16,723 --> 00:34:18,350
Oh, yes, my dear.
411
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,854
Would you ask Mr. Peuring to refer
that matter to Mr. Scrooge?
412
00:34:23,104 --> 00:34:24,648
Thank you, my dear.
413
00:34:24,898 --> 00:34:26,733
<i>PAST".
And you know this place.</i>
414
00:34:26,983 --> 00:34:29,736
SCROOGE:
<i>Know it? Was I not apprenticed here?</i>
415
00:34:29,986 --> 00:34:31,947
<i>Yon-how.!</i>
416
00:34:32,197 --> 00:34:36,076
Pay attention, everybody!
Dick? Ebenezer? Pens down.
417
00:34:36,326 --> 00:34:40,038
No more work tonight, boys.
It is Christmas Eve.
418
00:34:40,288 --> 00:34:42,958
So close those ledgers down.
419
00:34:43,208 --> 00:34:46,002
Clear away in here, everybody.
We need the room.
420
00:34:47,545 --> 00:34:49,089
Here we go, lad.
421
00:34:49,339 --> 00:34:52,842
You'll enjoy yourself tonight,
Ebenezer. That is an order.
422
00:34:53,093 --> 00:34:55,679
Yes, sir. I'll try.
Put your heart in it.
423
00:34:55,887 --> 00:35:00,100
You put enough of yourself into your
work, and I have nothing but praise...
424
00:35:00,350 --> 00:35:01,977
...but you're young.
425
00:35:02,227 --> 00:35:06,856
There's more to life than
books of cloth and musty old ledgers.
426
00:35:07,357 --> 00:35:09,985
[CHATTERING]
427
00:35:10,735 --> 00:35:15,824
SCROOGE: It's Mrs. Fezziwig and
the three daughters and their suitors.
428
00:35:16,074 --> 00:35:19,244
WOMAN:
And a happy Christmas to you all!
429
00:35:19,494 --> 00:35:21,538
And Belle.
430
00:35:22,038 --> 00:35:23,707
I had forgotten...
431
00:35:23,957 --> 00:35:26,418
...how beautiful she was.
432
00:35:30,005 --> 00:35:31,631
Hello, Belle.
433
00:35:31,881 --> 00:35:33,133
Hello.
434
00:35:33,383 --> 00:35:35,719
Would you like to dance?
Yes.
435
00:36:10,754 --> 00:36:13,882
How long since you've danced,
Ebenezer?
436
00:36:15,216 --> 00:36:17,093
A waste of time, dancing.
437
00:36:17,344 --> 00:36:19,721
You didn't think so then.
438
00:36:19,929 --> 00:36:22,307
There was a reason then.
439
00:36:22,515 --> 00:36:26,686
You've changed since you've come
to Fezziwig's. You were so gloomy.
440
00:36:26,936 --> 00:36:31,524
I think I should warn you, Miss Belle.
I am of a serious bent of mind.
441
00:36:31,775 --> 00:36:34,986
I consider seriousness
an admirable trait of character.
442
00:36:35,236 --> 00:36:37,572
But it can be overdone.
443
00:36:37,822 --> 00:36:42,077
I shall take heed of your advice
and go through life with a grin.
444
00:36:59,302 --> 00:37:02,722
Come, you two! They're striking up
Sir Roger de Coverly.
445
00:37:02,972 --> 00:37:07,102
Time enough to sample the punch
when you're old and fat like me.
446
00:37:07,352 --> 00:37:11,731
I best partner my wife before that
young scamp goes dancing off with her.
447
00:37:11,981 --> 00:37:16,486
What a difference it makes, Ebenezer,
to travel the rough road of life...
448
00:37:16,736 --> 00:37:20,698
...with the right female
to help bear the burden.
449
00:37:20,949 --> 00:37:23,743
What a lucky man I am!
450
00:37:25,286 --> 00:37:27,705
Shall we join the others?
451
00:37:28,832 --> 00:37:31,042
My pleasure, Miss Belle.
452
00:37:51,896 --> 00:37:53,565
Old Fezziwig.
453
00:37:53,773 --> 00:37:56,276
A silly man.
454
00:37:56,985 --> 00:38:00,155
Silly? Why silly?
455
00:38:00,405 --> 00:38:04,284
What did he do to deserve
the praises of those apprentices?
456
00:38:04,659 --> 00:38:06,494
Spent a few pounds?
457
00:38:07,036 --> 00:38:08,496
Dance like a monkey?
458
00:38:08,663 --> 00:38:11,207
Beamed a great smile?
459
00:38:11,458 --> 00:38:16,004
Well, the happiness he gives-- Gave--
460
00:38:16,212 --> 00:38:20,049
Was quite as great as though
it had cost 1000 pounds.
461
00:38:21,009 --> 00:38:23,720
Just small things.
462
00:38:28,433 --> 00:38:31,936
Belle.
Are you in love, Ebenezer?
463
00:38:35,732 --> 00:38:38,610
The thought had occurred to me.
She's too good for you.
464
00:38:38,860 --> 00:38:42,197
One day,
when I've made my fortune...
465
00:38:42,447 --> 00:38:44,574
...then I'll deserve her.
466
00:38:44,824 --> 00:38:47,494
It was a night
never to be forgotten.
467
00:38:47,744 --> 00:38:49,454
Never.
468
00:38:51,206 --> 00:38:54,459
PAST: <i>But you did forget. Often.</i>
SCROOGE: <i>Huh?</i>
469
00:38:54,626 --> 00:38:57,879
<i>PAST".
Look. Another Christmas Eve...</i>
470
00:38:58,129 --> 00:39:01,549
<i>...delayed by the pressure
of business.</i>
471
00:39:01,799 --> 00:39:04,302
Do you remember?
SCROOGE: No.
472
00:39:09,390 --> 00:39:10,642
Hello, Belle.
473
00:39:10,892 --> 00:39:13,061
<i>PAST".
Now do you remember?</i>
474
00:39:13,311 --> 00:39:15,021
I'm sorry I'm late.
475
00:39:15,271 --> 00:39:19,317
I thought you might not come.
I know how busy you are.
476
00:39:19,567 --> 00:39:21,152
Well...
477
00:39:23,613 --> 00:39:27,200
...the time of year,
and the nature of my business.
478
00:39:27,450 --> 00:39:31,079
It's important now that I use my time
and opportunities wisely.
479
00:39:31,329 --> 00:39:34,082
Another idol has displaced me.
480
00:39:34,332 --> 00:39:38,586
What idol has displaced you?
A golden one.
481
00:39:38,795 --> 00:39:43,091
All your hopes have merged
into a master passion: profit.
482
00:39:43,341 --> 00:39:45,134
The thought of money engrosses you.
483
00:39:46,553 --> 00:39:49,222
Perhaps I've become wiser.
484
00:39:49,472 --> 00:39:51,683
But I've not changed towards you.
485
00:39:52,684 --> 00:39:54,852
BELLE:
Our contract is an old one.
486
00:39:55,103 --> 00:39:59,524
It was made when we were young
and our prospects limited.
487
00:40:00,108 --> 00:40:03,278
How often I've thought of those times.
488
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,656
If there had been
no understanding between us...
489
00:40:06,906 --> 00:40:09,617
...would you seek me out
and try to win me now?
490
00:40:10,201 --> 00:40:15,164
A dowerless girl with nothing but
myself to bring to a marriage?
491
00:40:17,166 --> 00:40:18,585
You have no answer?
492
00:40:21,754 --> 00:40:25,800
You think I would not'?
Oh, what a safe and terrible answer.
493
00:40:26,634 --> 00:40:29,429
So characteristic of the careful man.
494
00:40:32,557 --> 00:40:34,767
Ebenezer, I release you.
495
00:40:35,685 --> 00:40:38,354
You are a free man.
496
00:40:38,521 --> 00:40:41,441
I let you go with a full heart.
497
00:40:41,899 --> 00:40:44,402
May you be happy
in the life you have chosen.
498
00:40:57,457 --> 00:41:00,001
I almost went after her.
499
00:41:00,251 --> 00:41:02,629
"Almost" carries no weight.
500
00:41:03,212 --> 00:41:05,590
Especially in matters of the heart.
501
00:41:06,257 --> 00:41:08,843
And you did have a heart,
didn't you?
502
00:41:09,761 --> 00:41:12,722
Why didn't you follow her?
503
00:41:13,848 --> 00:41:15,767
Upon his death, my father...
504
00:41:16,017 --> 00:41:17,935
...left me a small inheritance.
505
00:41:18,186 --> 00:41:21,939
Belle wished to be married,
insisting we'd get by on very little.
506
00:41:22,190 --> 00:41:25,943
But I wanted something more
for both of us. Sol...
507
00:41:26,194 --> 00:41:27,654
...lent out that money.
508
00:41:27,904 --> 00:41:32,575
Laid the foundations for financial
success, which I have achieved.
509
00:41:32,992 --> 00:41:36,245
Congratulations.
And I'll thank you not to sneer.
510
00:41:36,913 --> 00:41:41,376
Show me no more. Conduct me home.
You have explained what you gained.
511
00:41:41,626 --> 00:41:45,254
Now I will show you
what you have lost.
512
00:41:48,591 --> 00:41:52,011
SCROOGE: <i>Belle.</i>
PAST: <i>Yes, Belle.</i>
513
00:41:52,303 --> 00:41:54,222
SCROOGE:
<i>And those are her children!</i>
514
00:41:54,430 --> 00:41:59,018
Oh, darling, he's wonderful!
Isn't he?
515
00:41:59,477 --> 00:42:02,146
<i>Oh, Lord, what a brood!</i>
516
00:42:12,865 --> 00:42:16,369
Hello, hello. Hello, my dear.
517
00:42:16,619 --> 00:42:20,289
Hello, Papa. Where's my present?

occurred to me.

00:42:34,137 --> 00:42:37,265
I saw an old friend of yours
in the city this afternoon.

00:42:37,515 --> 00:42:39,475
Who was it?
Guess.

I can't.

Mr. Scrooge it was.

00:42:48,735 --> 00:42:51,362
I passed his office window
and it was not shuttered.

He had a single candle
lit upon his desk.

lies on the point of death.

And there he sat.
Ebenezer Scrooge, alone.

Quite alone in the world,
I do believe.

Yes. So perhaps in the future
you will hold your tongue...

...and where it is.
693
00:54:50,664 --> 00:54:52,958
It may be
that in the sight of heaven...
694
00:54:53,208 --> 00:54:56,670
...you are more worthless
and less fit to live...
695
00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:01,133
...than millions
like this poor man's child.
696

[CHEERING]
697
00:55:39,588 --> 00:55:42,341
A triumph, my dear. Another triumph!
698
00:55:45,052 --> 00:55:46,553
I told you so, Mother.
699
00:55:46,887 --> 00:55:48,931
It's a success.
700
00:55:49,181 --> 00:55:51,433
What a relief for Mrs. Cratchit.
701
00:55:52,100 --> 00:55:53,435
Now their feast is over.
702
00:55:53,602 --> 00:55:55,062
Not quite.
703
00:55:55,312 --> 00:55:58,815
Just one more
ceremonious moment.
704
00:55:59,066 --> 00:56:00,484
Look.
705
00:56:09,701 --> 00:56:13,664
Now I would like to propose a toast
to Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge...
706
00:56:13,914 --> 00:56:15,791
...the founder of our feast.
707
00:56:16,041 --> 00:56:17,584
Mr. Scrooge.
708
00:56:23,549 --> 00:56:26,760
Huh. The "founder of our feast" indeed.
709
00:56:26,927 --> 00:56:28,804
I wish I had him here.
710
00:56:28,971 --> 00:56:33,433
I'd give him a piece of my mind
and hope he had a good appetite for it.
711
00:56:33,725 --> 00:56:36,103
My dear, the children.
It's Christmas Day.
712
00:56:36,436 --> 00:56:40,315
It should be Christmas Day when one
drinks to the health of such...
713
00:56:40,524 --> 00:56:43,443
...a stingy, odious, mean...
714
00:56:43,694 --> 00:56:46,905
...hard, unfeeling man
as Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge.
715
00:56:47,155 --> 00:56:48,865
My dear, have some charity.
716
00:56:54,788 --> 00:56:56,164
Well, well.
717
00:56:59,167 --> 00:57:03,880
I'll drink his health for your
sake, and the day's sake...
718
00:57:04,089 --> 00:57:05,966
...but not for his.
719
00:57:07,509 --> 00:57:10,762
Long life, Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge.
720
00:57:11,013 --> 00:57:14,099
A merry Christmas
and a happy New Year.
721
00:57:14,308 --> 00:57:18,854
I have no doubt his Christmas will be
very merry, and he'll be very happy.
722
00:57:19,062 --> 00:57:20,439
Mr. Scrooge.
723
00:57:21,064 --> 00:57:22,441
Mr. Scrooge.
724
00:57:22,608 --> 00:57:23,942
Mr. Scrooge.
725
00:57:24,109 --> 00:57:25,694
Mr. Scrooge.
726
00:57:25,861 --> 00:57:27,321
Mr. Scrooge.
727
00:57:27,487 --> 00:57:30,073
Mr. Scrooge.
728
00:57:34,411 --> 00:57:37,289
He's made a point,
Bob Cratchit has.
729
00:57:37,539 --> 00:57:41,043
Without me, there would be
no feast. No goose at all.
730
00:57:41,293 --> 00:57:44,421
My head for business
has furnished him employment.
731
00:57:44,671 --> 00:57:48,800
Is that all you've learned by
observing this family on Christmas Day?
732
00:57:48,967 --> 00:57:50,510
Well, no. Not all.
733
00:57:50,761 --> 00:57:54,473
But one must speak up
for one's self, for one's life.
734

[CRATCHITS LAUGHING]
735
00:57:56,058 --> 00:57:59,853
<i>[SINGING] Here we come a-wassailing
Among the leaves so green</i>
736
00:58:00,103 --> 00:58:03,523
<i>Here we come a-wandering
So fair to be seen</i>
737
00:58:03,732 --> 00:58:07,694

<i>And God bless you and send you

739
00:58:11,948 --> 00:58:14,159
We have some time left.
740
00:58:14,785 --> 00:58:16,036
Take my robe.
741
00:58:16,244 --> 00:58:20,207
<i>Love and joy come to you

<i>And God bless you and send you

743
00:58:35,222 --> 00:58:37,933
Where are we now?
Just a street.
744
00:58:38,141 --> 00:58:40,310
Any street.
745
00:58:40,727 --> 00:58:43,772
This house. We're going here.
746
00:58:44,940 --> 00:58:48,777
I think it might amuse you.
I am in no mood to be amused.
747
00:59:06,253 --> 00:59:10,090
JANET: ls my playing so amusing?
I'm sorry, my love.
748
00:59:10,298 --> 00:59:14,010
I was thinking of his face yesterday.
Humbug, he said. Humbug.
749
00:59:14,261 --> 00:59:18,014
He said Christmas was a humbug.
He believed it too.
750
00:59:19,766 --> 00:59:24,062
I'd like to meet your uncle. The way
you portray him tickles my heart.
751
00:59:24,271 --> 00:59:25,313
He is comical.
752
00:59:25,564 --> 00:59:28,900
But not pleasant.
His offenses are their own punishment.
753
00:59:29,151 --> 00:59:31,611
Brother-in-law,
it's said he's very rich.
754
00:59:31,862 --> 00:59:34,656
That's true.
But his wealth is of no use to him.
755
00:59:34,865 --> 00:59:37,909
He does no good and
doesn't even make himself comfortable.
756
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,537
I don't squander it,
if that's what you mean.
757
00:59:40,787 --> 00:59:44,666
You mustn't argue with those we visit.
It's useless and tactless.
758
00:59:44,916 --> 00:59:47,419
Tact is a quality I despise.
I can see.
759
00:59:47,627 --> 00:59:50,881
I have no patience with him.
I feel sorry for him.
760
00:59:51,089 --> 00:59:53,842
Sor--? Sorry for me'?
761
00:59:54,092 --> 00:59:57,262
Who suffers from his ill whims?
Himself. Always.
762
00:59:57,512 --> 01:00:01,767
He takes it in his heart to dislike us
and not come and dine with us.
763
01:00:02,017 --> 01:00:04,060
And loses a very good dinner.
764
01:00:04,519 --> 01:00:06,646
FRED:
The reason I talk about him so...
765
01:00:07,147 --> 01:00:10,525
...is that my mother,
God rest her saintly soul...
766
01:00:10,776 --> 01:00:13,695
...was very fond of him.
She loved him.
767
01:00:15,155 --> 01:00:16,615
It's true.
768
01:00:17,365 --> 01:00:19,701
Fan loved me and I her.
769
01:00:20,243 --> 01:00:23,747
Dear Fan.
I wish she were alive today.
770
01:00:23,997 --> 01:00:26,166
Fred looks very like her.
771
01:00:27,250 --> 01:00:28,543
Yes.
772
01:00:31,004 --> 01:00:33,882
I've been reminded of that
just recently.
773
01:00:34,716 --> 01:00:37,844
The consequences
of his taking a dislike to us...
774
01:00:38,053 --> 01:00:42,724
...and not making merry with us is
that he loses some pleasant moments...
775
01:00:42,974 --> 01:00:45,143
...which could do him no harm.
776
01:00:46,061 --> 01:00:49,731
I'll give him the chance every year
whether he likes it or not.
777
01:00:49,940 --> 01:00:53,109
And every year he'll say,
"Christmas!
778
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:56,196
ALL:
Bah, humbug!"
779
01:00:58,532 --> 01:01:00,784
Come, we must see to our guests.
780
01:01:01,868 --> 01:01:03,119
Nougats?
781
01:01:03,787 --> 01:01:05,622
So much noise.
782
01:01:05,872 --> 01:01:08,959
I can't hear myself think.
They seem to be happy.
783
01:01:09,209 --> 01:01:11,670
SCROOGE:
I suppose free food and drink...
784
01:01:11,837 --> 01:01:14,130
...would be an occasion
for pleasure to most people.
785
01:01:14,548 --> 01:01:17,259
Happy in each other's company, I mean.
786
01:01:17,425 --> 01:01:21,930
Everyone, hush. We shall have
a word game. What shall it be?
787
01:01:22,973 --> 01:01:26,226
JANET: Simile.
FRED: Does everyone know the rules?
788
01:01:26,434 --> 01:01:30,188
You each have five seconds to answer.
I'll ask the question.
789
01:01:30,397 --> 01:01:34,150
Mr. Topper, you'll keep count.
I shall do my best.
790
01:01:34,401 --> 01:01:39,197
You have five seconds. If you fail
to give an acceptable answer...
791
01:01:39,447 --> 01:01:41,700
...then you must
stand behind your chair.
792
01:01:41,950 --> 01:01:46,246
Last one seated wins the prize.
Fred, don't go on. Just begin.
793
01:01:46,454 --> 01:01:49,291
I'm sorry, my love. Yes, I shall.
794
01:01:49,499 --> 01:01:51,793
And now. Um...
795
01:01:53,211 --> 01:01:54,296
Proud as...?
796
01:01:54,754 --> 01:01:56,506
Proud as a peacock.
797
01:01:58,592 --> 01:02:00,218
Peter? Dry as...?
798
01:02:00,468 --> 01:02:02,721
As a bone.
Good.
799
01:02:03,513 --> 01:02:05,891
Plump as...?
My wife.
800
01:02:07,225 --> 01:02:09,144
Sorry, my dear. Just a little joke.
801
01:02:09,311 --> 01:02:11,104
Uh, plump as...
802
01:02:11,354 --> 01:02:12,814
One, two--
Two seconds!
803
01:02:13,064 --> 01:02:15,025
A partridge.
804
01:02:16,568 --> 01:02:18,361
Quick as...?
805
01:02:20,405 --> 01:02:22,532
Wind?
No!
806
01:02:22,741 --> 01:02:24,409
One, two...
807
01:02:24,618 --> 01:02:26,494
...three, four...
808
01:02:26,703 --> 01:02:28,371
...five!
809
01:02:28,622 --> 01:02:30,957
A wink, you idiot.
Ebenezer, shh.
810
01:02:31,166 --> 01:02:34,753
You said they couldn't see or hear us.
That's quite true.
811
01:02:34,961 --> 01:02:36,963
Oh, yes. Sorry.
812
01:02:37,213 --> 01:02:42,344
Even I forget regulations sometimes.
After all, I do not come back often.
813
01:02:42,552 --> 01:02:44,804
Shh. I'm trying
to listen to the game.
814
01:02:45,847 --> 01:02:47,599
Modest as...?
815
01:02:47,849 --> 01:02:49,684
A maiden.
No.
816
01:02:49,893 --> 01:02:54,230
I'm sure it's a well-known simile.
I was thinking of modest as a violet.
817
01:02:55,190 --> 01:02:56,942
Fred.
818
01:02:57,317 --> 01:02:59,653
However, I will accept your answer.
819
01:03:00,236 --> 01:03:01,947
Janet?
820
01:03:02,822 --> 01:03:05,533
Attend. Tight as...?
821
01:03:06,117 --> 01:03:07,702
Tight as...
822
01:03:07,953 --> 01:03:10,705
A drum. Anyone knows that.
823
01:03:11,581 --> 01:03:12,582
Tight as...?
824
01:03:13,208 --> 01:03:15,627
Not very bright, my nephew's wife.
825
01:03:15,877 --> 01:03:18,838
Tight as your Uncle Scrooge's
purse strings!
826
01:03:20,340 --> 01:03:23,259
That's quite wrong.
And your time is up.
827
01:03:23,510 --> 01:03:26,137
You've lost and must stand
behind your chair.
828
01:03:27,222 --> 01:03:29,683
Tight as a drum
is what I was thinking of.
829
01:03:29,975 --> 01:03:33,269
Good for you, Fred.
Boy's got a head on his shoulders.
830
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:35,522
As for the laughter at my expense...
831
01:03:35,772 --> 01:03:38,692
...I'll overlook it
in view of the general gaiety.
832
01:03:38,942 --> 01:03:41,611
It's time to leave
this pleasant scene.
833
01:03:41,861 --> 01:03:45,240
We have one more visit to make
before my time is done.
834
01:03:45,490 --> 01:03:47,200
Take hold of my robe.
835
01:03:47,409 --> 01:03:49,577
FRED: Sly as...?
MAN 1: A fox!
836
01:03:49,828 --> 01:03:52,205
FRED: Red as...?
WOMAN: Red as a rose.
837
01:03:52,455 --> 01:03:54,290
Silent as...?
MAN 2: The night.
838
01:03:54,499 --> 01:03:55,542
No!
MAN 2: A mouse!
839
01:03:55,750 --> 01:03:57,544
FRED: Not at all.
MAN 2: I know. The grave.
840
01:04:00,463 --> 01:04:02,215
Where are we now?
841
01:04:03,091 --> 01:04:04,634
I'm sure I don't know this place.
842
01:04:06,011 --> 01:04:09,764
The name would mean nothing to you.
It's a place...
843
01:04:09,973 --> 01:04:12,642
...like many
in this world.
844
01:04:17,313 --> 01:04:20,567
Do we have enough wood for the night?
It'll last.
845
01:04:20,817 --> 01:04:23,903
At least there's one thing
still free in this country.
846
01:04:27,032 --> 01:04:29,784
Mary, a piece of that cooked.
847
01:04:30,035 --> 01:04:33,079
They're too hot.
It'll be cold soon enough.
848
01:04:33,288 --> 01:04:36,666
Where did you get these, Father?
I didn't steal them.
849
01:04:36,916 --> 01:04:38,293
She didn't say you did.
850
01:04:38,501 --> 01:04:41,838
She should have some respect.
MEG: Don't berate the girl.
851
01:04:43,048 --> 01:04:45,258
They fell from a cart into the road.
852
01:04:45,508 --> 01:04:48,094
Your father's not a thief, girl.
853
01:04:48,845 --> 01:04:50,513
Not yet.
854
01:04:58,730 --> 01:05:01,024
Why are these people out here?
855
01:05:02,734 --> 01:05:05,612
Men and women in rags.
Children eating scraps!
856
01:05:05,820 --> 01:05:08,323
There are institutions.
857
01:05:08,531 --> 01:05:12,077
Have you visited any of them,
these institutions you speak of?
858
01:05:12,285 --> 01:05:15,497
No. I'm taxed for them.
Isn't that enough?
859
01:05:15,705 --> 01:05:16,998
Is it?
860
01:05:22,128 --> 01:05:25,840
Ben, come back to the fire.
Look at these hands.
861
01:05:26,049 --> 01:05:28,802
They're hard hands.
They've done hard work.
862
01:05:29,052 --> 01:05:30,428

in the street today?

Mr. Scrooge's nephew, Fred.
1047
01:20:26,490 --> 01:20:30,285
And he greeted me
in his usual cheerful way.
1048
01:20:30,536 --> 01:20:33,497
And he saw that I was a little sad.
1049

He asked me what was distressing me.
And when I told him...
1050
01:20:38,585 --> 01:20:43,632
...he said that he was
heartily sorry for it, and...
1051
01:20:45,634 --> 01:20:47,136
Robert.
1052
01:20:49,596 --> 01:20:51,765
Timmy's part of all of us.
1053
01:20:52,641 --> 01:20:55,686
But for his sake,
we must go on living.
1054
01:20:55,894 --> 01:21:00,899
So long as we love one another,
he will always be alive.
1055
01:21:01,859 --> 01:21:03,444
Yes, of course, my dear.
1056
01:21:03,652 --> 01:21:07,197
But however and whenever...
1057
01:21:07,656 --> 01:21:10,701
...we're parted from one another...
1058
01:21:10,909 --> 01:21:14,455
...I'm sure that none of us
will forget poor Tiny Tim.
1059
01:21:14,663 --> 01:21:16,540
No, never. Never.
1060
01:21:16,749 --> 01:21:21,045
And when we recollect how patient
he was, and how mild...
1061
01:21:21,295 --> 01:21:23,630
...although he was
but a little child...
1062
01:21:23,881 --> 01:21:27,426
...I'm sure that we will not easily
quarrel among ourselves.

and depth of feeling.

1076

No.
1077
01:22:43,085 --> 01:22:46,672
Before I draw near to that stone,
answer me this:
1078
01:22:46,922 --> 01:22:51,218
Are the things you have shown me
the shadows of the things that will be?
1079
01:22:52,302 --> 01:22:55,848
Or are they the shadows
of the things that may be only?
1080

Men's courses will foreshadow
certain ends. I accept that.
1081

But if those courses
be departed from...
1082

...the ends must change.
1083

Tell me that is so
by what you show me.
1084
01:24:00,704 --> 01:24:03,582
Dear me, I am not the man I was.
1085
01:24:04,291 --> 01:24:07,044
I will not be the man I was
before this visitation.
1086
01:24:07,294 --> 01:24:10,297
Why show me this if I'm past all hope?

wouldn't you say?

Well, that is quite true.
1236

Quite honestly,
it is a surprise.
1237
01:32:42,809 --> 01:32:45,770
When we spoke yesterday,
you made it quite clear...
1238
01:32:45,937 --> 01:32:48,648
...that you wouldn't accept
my invitation.
1239
01:32:48,815 --> 01:32:52,152
I made other things clear too,
didn't I, Fred?
1240
01:32:52,402 --> 01:32:56,322
That Christmas was a humbug,
a waste of time and money.
1241
01:32:56,573 --> 01:32:58,575
A false and commercial festival...
1242
01:32:58,742 --> 01:33:00,994
...devoutly to be ignored.
1243
01:33:01,161 --> 01:33:02,704
Yes, basically that was it.
1244
01:33:03,747 --> 01:33:05,707
I've come for three reasons.
1245
01:33:05,957 --> 01:33:09,127
First, to beg your pardon.
1246
01:33:09,377 --> 01:33:11,379
For what I said about Christmas.
1247
01:33:13,923 --> 01:33:16,509
That was a humbug, Fred.
1248
01:33:17,969 --> 01:33:20,930
Was it?
Mm-hm. I didn't know it then, but I do now.
1249
01:33:21,681 --> 01:33:24,559
Secondly, I've come to meet your wife.
1250
01:33:24,809 --> 01:33:26,686
Well, here she is.
Yes.
1251
01:33:26,936 --> 01:33:29,856
And a very beautiful woman
she is too.
1252
01:33:30,523 --> 01:33:32,275
Thank you.
1253
01:33:34,319 --> 01:33:35,320
I, uh...
1254
01:33:37,238 --> 01:33:38,782
I was in love once.
1255
01:33:39,532 --> 01:33:40,825
Would you believe that?
1256
01:33:41,034 --> 01:33:42,035
Yes.
1257
01:33:42,202 --> 01:33:45,330
But I possessed neither the courage
nor the optimism...
1258
01:33:45,580 --> 01:33:50,210
...perhaps the depth of feeling
that you two have.
1259
01:33:50,418 --> 01:33:53,922
Thirdly, if the invitation
to dine is still in force...
1260
01:33:54,088 --> 01:33:55,381
...I accept.
1261
01:33:55,548 --> 01:33:57,300
Of course it's still in force.
1262
01:33:57,467 --> 01:33:59,052
Hurrah!
1263
01:33:59,219 --> 01:34:00,970
I was sure that one day...
1264
01:34:01,554 --> 01:34:04,390
You were sure?
Well, apparently you were right.
1265
01:34:04,599 --> 01:34:06,893
Yes, I should like to dine with you.
1266
01:34:07,602 --> 01:34:09,354

01:34:17,237 --> 01:34:19,614

1270
01:34:19,823 --> 01:34:21,366

And should the phrase
"tight as..." be thrown out...
1274
01:34:29,666 --> 01:34:32,335
...the answer is, a drum.
1275
01:34:32,585 --> 01:34:34,420
Why, yes. So it is.

I forgot just how much I loved her.

Well, now.
1282
01:34:58,820 --> 01:35:02,407
I should like to sample
some of that famous punch.

was better than his word.</i>

<i>He became as good a friend,
as good a master...</i>

as the old city knew.</i>

he was a second father.</i>
