0:08:30 > 0:08:33What reason have you to be merry? You're poor enough.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35What right have you to be so dismal? You're rich enough.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- Humbug!- Don't be cross, Uncle.

0:08:44 > 0:08:45Merry Christmas(!)
0:08:45 > 0:08:50What's Christmastime to you but a time for paying bills without money.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53A time for finding yourself a year older and not a penny richer.

0:09:04 > 0:09:09Keep Christmas in your own way and let me keep it in mine.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Keep it? But you don't keep it!
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Let me leave it alone then.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Much good it has ever done you.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22There are many things from which I have derived good and have not profited.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Christmas being among them.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28But I have always thought of Christmas as a kind, charitable time.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30The only time when men open their shut-up hearts
0:09:30 > 0:09:33and think of all people as fellow travellers to the grave
0:09:33 > 0:09:36and not some other race of creatures bound on other journeys.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38And therefore, Uncle,
0:09:38 > 0:09:43although it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket,
0:09:43 > 0:09:47I believe it has done me good, and I say, God bless it!

0:10:00 > 0:10:04You're quite a powerful speaker, sir. A wonder you don't go into Parliament.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Don't be cross, Uncle. Come, dine with us tomorrow.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11I'll see you in hell first.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15But why? Why so coldhearted, Uncle? Why?
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Why did you get married?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Because I fell in love.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Because...
0:10:26 > 0:10:28..you fell...

0:10:39 > 0:10:42I want nothing from you. I ask nothing of you.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Why can't we be friends? - Good afternoon.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I'm sorry, with all my heart, to find you so resolute.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52But I have made the trial in homage to Christmas, and therefore,
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- Merry Christmas, Uncle! - Good afternoon!
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- And a happy New Year! - Good afternoon!
0:10:57 > 0:11:00And a very merry Christmas to you too, Mr Cratchit.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19Ah...
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Have I the pleasure of addressing Mr Scrooge or Mr Marley?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Mr Marley has been dead these seven years.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32He died seven years ago... this very night.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Oh... Well, we have no doubt that his generosity
0:11:36 > 0:11:39is well represented by his surviving partner.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44At this festive season of the year, Mr Scrooge,
0:11:44 > 0:11:48it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision
0:11:48 > 0:11:51for the poor and the destitute.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Many thousands are in want of common comfort, sir.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02Are there no prisons?
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Prisons? Yes, yes, plenty of prisons.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15And the union workhouses, are they still in operation?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19They are. I wish I could say they were not.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21The treadmill in full vigour?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- Very busy, sir.- Good!
0:12:25 > 0:12:29I was afraid something had occurred to stop them in their useful course.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36Yes. At this festive season, a few of us are endeavouring to raise a fund
0:12:36 > 0:12:41to buy the poor some meat and drink and means of warmth.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43What shall we put you down for?
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- Nothing. - Oh, you wish to remain anonymous?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51I wish to be left alone! I don't make merry myself at Christmas,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54and I can't afford to make idle people merry.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I support the establishments I have mentioned.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01And those who are badly off must go there.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Many cannot go there.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10And, well, frankly, many would rather die.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Then they had better do it and decrease the surplus population.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Good afternoon, gentlemen!

0:51:43 > 0:51:46Somehow he gets thoughtful sitting by himself so much
0:51:46 > 0:51:49and he thinks the strangest things you ever heard.
0:51:49 > 0:51:54He told me, coming home, that he hoped the people sawed him in church, because he was a cripple...
0:51:55 > 0:51:59...and it might make pleasant for them to remember upon Christmas Day
0:51:59 > 0:52:01who made lame beggars walk and blind men see.

0:53:08 > 0:53:10the children might taste a turkey.
0:53:10 > 0:53:13Perhaps one day, my dear. Perhaps one day.
0:53:14 > 0:53:16A toast.

0:53:23 > 0:53:27Ha! Founder of the feast, indeed. I wish I had him here.
0:53:27 > 0:53:30I'd give him a piece of my mind to feast upon,
0:53:30 > 0:53:32and I'd hope he'd have a good appetite for it.
0:53:32 > 0:53:36My dear, the children... It's Christmas Day.
0:53:36 > 0:53:38Christmas Day, I'm sure. How can one drink the health
0:53:38 > 0:53:42of such an odious, stingy, hard, unfeeling man as Mr Scrooge?
0:53:42 > 0:53:46As you know he is, Robert. Nobody knows it better than you.
0:53:46 > 0:53:49My dear, Christmas Day.
0:53:50 > 0:53:53I'll drink his health for your sake and the day's, not for his.
0:53:55 > 0:53:58A merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
0:53:59 > 0:54:01He'll be very merry and very happy, I have no doubt.

1:09:11 > 1:09:15I understand. And I would if I could, but I have not the power.
1:09:27 > 1:09:32Spirit, if there is any person who feels emotion caused by this man's death,
1:09:32 > 1:09:35show that person to me, I beg you.
1:09:46 > 1:09:51- Are we ruined?- There is hope yet.
1:09:51 > 1:09:54Hope? Only if he relents.
1:09:55 > 1:09:57He is past relenting.
1:09:59 > 1:10:01He is dead.

1:10:16 > 1:10:18We shall sleep tonight with light hearts, my dear.

1:10:50 > 1:10:54..with Tiny Tim on his shoulders... fast, indeed.
1:10:56 > 1:10:58But he was very light...

1:11:25 > 1:11:27Would have done you good to see how green a place it is.
1:11:29 > 1:11:30You'll see it often.

1:13:53 > 1:13:56Are these the shadows of things that will be
1:13:56 > 1:13:59or shadows of things that may be?
1:13:59 > 1:14:02Men's courses in life foreshadow certain ends.
1:14:02 > 1:14:06But if these courses are departed from, these ends will change. Isn't that so?

1:22:44 > 1:22:47I've...come to dinner...
1:22:49 > 1:22:51..if you'll have me.
1:22:56 > 1:22:58Of course, Uncle! Welcome! Welcome!
1:22:58 > 1:23:01Merry Christmas! Everybody, this is my uncle, Ebenezer.
1:23:08 > 1:23:10Be good and pass this.
1:23:10 > 1:23:13- Here you go.- Enjoy.
1:23:13 > 1:23:16Next year we must have this dinner at my house.
1:23:16 > 1:23:18I insist.
1:23:19 > 1:23:22I'll spare no expense. After all, you can't take it with you, can you?
1:23:22 > 1:23:25No, you can't!
1:23:44 > 1:23:46BELL TOLLING, CLOCK TICKING
1:23:52 > 1:23:56Ha-ha! A full 16 minutes late.
1:24:00 > 1:24:03What do you mean by coming here at this time of day?
1:24:03 > 1:24:07I'm very sorry, sir! I am a bit behind in my time.
1:24:07 > 1:24:09You are, indeed.
1:24:11 > 1:24:12Step in here.
1:24:16 > 1:24:17Well, it's only once a year, sir.
1:24:17 > 1:24:21It shall not be repeated. I was making rather merry yesterday.
1:24:21 > 1:24:24Now, I'll tell you what, Mr Cratchit.
1:24:24 > 1:24:27I'm not going to stand for this sort of thing any longer.
1:24:27 > 1:24:28And therefore...
1:24:30 > 1:24:32And therefore...
1:24:32 > 1:24:35I am about to raise your salary!
1:24:40 > 1:24:42Ha-ha!
1:24:42 > 1:24:44A merry Christmas to you, Bob.
1:24:46 > 1:24:50A merrier Christmas, Bob, my good fellow,
1:24:50 > 1:24:52than I've given you in many a year.
1:24:52 > 1:24:57I'll raise your salary, and do whatever I can to help your struggling family.
1:24:57 > 1:24:58And we'll discuss your affairs
1:24:58 > 1:25:01this very afternoon over a bowl of Christmas punch.
1:25:01 > 1:25:04But first, let's make up the fires.
1:25:04 > 1:25:05I want you to go out...
1:25:06 > 1:25:09..and buy another scuttle of coal
1:25:09 > 1:25:11before you dot another "i," Bob Cratchit.
1:25:12 > 1:25:14Off with you, Bob.
1:25:14 > 1:25:16We've wassailing to do.
1:25:16 > 1:25:18Hillyho, Bob!
1:25:18 > 1:25:21Yeah. Yes, sir. Right away, sir.
1:25:21 > 1:25:24MUSIC: The Wassail Song
1:25:24 > 1:25:26# Love and joy come to you
1:25:26 > 1:25:27# And to you your wassail too
1:25:27 > 1:25:31# And God bless you and send you a happy new year
1:25:31 > 1:25:34# A happy new year, happy new year
1:25:34 > 1:25:39# And God send you a happy new year... #
1:25:42 > 1:25:44And Scrooge was better than his word.
1:25:44 > 1:25:48He did all that he said he would and more.
1:25:48 > 1:25:53And to our Tiny Tim, who got well, Scrooge was like a second father.
1:25:53 > 1:25:56He became as good a friend, as good a master
1:25:56 > 1:25:59and as good a man as the good old city ever knew.
1:25:59 > 1:26:03And it was always said of him that he knew how to keep Christmas well.
1:26:04 > 1:26:08And so, as Tiny Tim observed...
1:26:08 > 1:26:11God bless us, every one.
1:26:11 > 1:26:14# Hark the herald angels sing
1:26:14 > 1:26:25# Glory to the newborn ki-ing! #
