Transcript
00:00:00Music
00:00:11Folks say life is a song.
00:00:14For some that means a ditty, for others a dirge.
00:00:18But at the holiday season we all sing a carol, a Christmas carol.
00:00:30Music
00:00:38Tell me a tale about Christmas that's brimming with fun and good cheer.
00:00:44Tell me a tale to bring laughter and maybe the hint of a tear.
00:00:49Tell an old tale about Miser who spoils every joy that he can.
00:00:54Can we get older and weiser? Will he become a good fan?
00:01:01Christmas stories, what more memories they bring.
00:01:06Christmas carols make me want to sing.
00:01:11Sing me a song full of wonder, like snow from the heavens above.
00:01:28Sing me a song about Christmas.
00:01:33Sing me a song of love.
00:01:36Sing me a song of love.
00:02:06Help me move.
00:02:07Miserable
00:02:07Stop me.
00:02:16I've got to get you again.
00:02:19No, no, you won't.
00:02:25Oh, my God.
00:02:55Christmas!
00:02:57That's it!
00:02:59Sorry, Mr. Scrooge.
00:03:05Damn it!
00:03:25Run! Run! Run!
00:03:32Excuse me, God.
00:03:37Run! Run! Run! Run! Run!
00:03:39Beat it, brat!
00:03:41Cratchit,
00:03:43go fetch that coal!
00:03:45Yes, Mr. Scrooge.
00:03:47Excuse me, sir.
00:03:49Excuse me, sir.
00:03:51A merry Christmas, Uncle Ebenezer.
00:03:55Bah! Humbug!
00:03:57Christmas, a humbug?
00:03:59Well, you don't mean that.
00:04:01I do.
00:04:03Merry Christmas.
00:04:05What right are you doing?
00:04:07What right are you doing?
00:04:09Go fetch that coal!
00:04:11You're poor enough.
00:04:12What right have you to be grumpy?
00:04:13You're rich enough.
00:04:14Yes, rich enough to realize Christmas is a time for fools.
00:04:17Finding themselves a year older and not an hour richer.
00:04:21If I had my way, every numbskull who goes about spouting Merry Christmas
00:04:23should be stuffed like a turkey buried with a
00:04:25little bit of an egg.
00:04:26You don't mean that.
00:04:27You don't mean that.
00:04:28I do.
00:04:29Merry Christmas.
00:04:30What right have you to be merry?
00:04:31You're poor enough.
00:04:32What right have you to be grumpy?
00:04:33You're rich enough.
00:04:34Yes, rich enough to realize Christmas is a time for fools.
00:04:38Finding themselves a year older and not an hour richer.
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 steak of holly through his heart.
00:04:55Uncle?
00:04:57Nephew?
00:04:59Keep Christmas in your own way and let me keep it in mine.
00:05:03Keep it?
00:05:04But you don't keep it.
00:05:06No.
00:05:07I keep busy, especially at this wasteful time of year.
00:05:12Wasteful?
00:05:13Well, I've always thought of Christmas as a rewarding time.
00:05:16Even putting aside its sacred name and origin, Christmas is still a
00:05:21joyous, wonderful season.
00:05:23The only time in the whole year when folks seem to open their hearts
00:05:28and treat strangers as friends, and therefore, Uncle, though it's never
00:05:32put silver in my pocket, I say God bless Christmas.
00:05:37Janice?
00:05:38He'll do it, too.
00:05:39It's not awesome!
00:05:40Come back.
00:05:41Come back.
00:05:42Come back.
00:05:43Oh.
00:05:44Oh.
00:05:45Oh, oh.
00:05:46Oh.
00:05:47Yes.
00:05:48Oh.
00:05:49Oh, oh.
00:05:50Humbug!
00:06:06Give us a smile, Uncle. Tomorrow is Christmas.
00:06:10Good afternoon.
00:06:12Have dinner with my wife and me.
00:06:14Good afternoon.
00:06:16Very well.
00:06:18If you want to be miserable, fine.
00:06:20But I'll hang on to my holiday spirit to the last.
00:06:24So Merry Christmas, Uncle.
00:06:26Good afternoon.
00:06:30And a Happy New Year.
00:06:32Good afternoon!
00:06:38Scrooge and Marley's, yes?
00:06:40Have I the pleasure of addressing Mr. Scrooge or Mr. Marley?
00:06:44Mr. Marley died.
00:06:46Seven years ago this very night.
00:06:50Oh dear.
00:06:52However, we have no doubt your generosity matches that of your deceased partners.
00:06:58Here you are, Mr. Scrooge.
00:07:02That's only five lumps.
00:07:04Where's the sixth?
00:07:06The snow, sir.
00:07:08Back to work.
00:07:10Coal's not cheap, you know.
00:07:16Generosity, yes.
00:07:18At this festive season it is compassionate to provide for the poor and destitute who suffer greatly at this time.
00:07:26What shall I put you down for?
00:07:36Nothing.
00:07:38Ah, you wish to be anonymous.
00:07:40I wish to be left alone.
00:07:42I don't make merry at Christmas and I can't afford to make idle people merry.
00:07:50But surely, sir...
00:07:52I do my share.
00:07:54Taxis pay for the prisons and workhouses.
00:07:56And those who are badly off should go there.
00:08:00But many would rather die.
00:08:02Then they should do it.
00:08:04And decrease the surplus population.
00:08:08But sir, thousands are in need of simple comforts.
00:08:12It's not my business, gentlemen.
00:08:16Good afternoon.
00:08:18But Mr. Scrooge...
00:08:20Damn it!
00:08:42Hello?
00:08:56Beat it, beggar!
00:09:00No!
00:09:02No, sir.
00:09:03This is my son, Tim.
00:09:05Oh.
00:09:06You have a family?
00:09:08He's awfully...
00:09:10Um...
00:09:11Tiny.
00:09:12Yes.
00:09:13Yes, he is.
00:09:15He's our tiny Tim.
00:09:19You'll want all day off tomorrow, I suppose.
00:09:24If it's convenient, sir.
00:09:26It's not convenient.
00:09:28And 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.
00:09:51Just be here an hour earlier next morning.
00:09:55Yes, sir.
00:09:56Thank 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...
00:10:06He likes me, father.
00:10:07Ooh.
00:10:08Dammit!
00:10:09Ooh.
00:10:14Get the light, you liability.
00:10:16Ooh.
00:10:17Ooh.
00:10:18Ooh.
00:10:19Ooh.
00:10:20Ooh.
00:10:21Ooh.
00:10:22Ooh.
00:10:23Ooh.
00:10:24Ooh.
00:10:25Ooh.
00:10:26Ooh.
00:10:27Ooh.
00:10:28Ooh.
00:10:29Ooh.
00:10:30Ooh.
00:10:31Ooh.
00:10:32Ooh.
00:10:33Ooh.
00:10:34Ooh.
00:10:35Ooh.
00:10:36Ooh.
00:10:37Ooh.
00:10:38Ooh.
00:10:39Ooh.
00:10:40Ooh.
00:10:41Ooh.
00:10:42Ooh.
00:10:43Ooh.
00:10:44Ooh.
00:10:45Ooh.
00:10:46Ooh.
00:10:47Ooh.
00:10:48Ooh.
00:10:49Ooh.
00:10:50Ooh.
00:10:51Ooh.
00:10:52Ooh.
00:10:53Ooh.
00:10:54Ooh.
00:10:55Ooh.
00:10:56Ooh.
00:10:57Ooh.
00:10:58Ooh.
00:10:59Ooh.
00:11:00Go, horsey!
00:11:20Damn it!
00:11:30That old villain's cold as ice in me.
00:11:46Oh, look at the size of that turkey, doesn't it?
00:11:50Damn it!
00:12:00What'll it be, ducky?
00:12:12Hash for me, scraps for my dog, and be quick about it.
00:12:22Every day the same thing. Cheapest meal on a menu!
00:12:26When he could afford a feast every night, Bill skimpfed.
00:12:31Oh well, can't let him ruin a holiday now, can we?
00:12:40It's Christmas time at last, revelers prepare.
00:12:43Can't you feel a blast of fresh excitement in the air?
00:12:46The wreath is out of hock, hollies in the hall.
00:12:49But take some stock before you pin that stocking to the wall.
00:12:53Random acts of kindness, random acts of kindness.
00:12:56Have you spread your share of Merry Christmas cheer?
00:12:59Perform an act of kindness?
00:13:01Random acts of kindness, more than once a year.
00:13:05For example, offering a scoop.
00:13:07Springing for the nog.
00:13:09Throwing out the bone to throw a banquet for the dog.
00:13:12Creshing a drink, sharing what you've earned.
00:13:15Giving without thinking that it's got to be returned.
00:13:18Random 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.
00:13:29Pog some off on me.
00:13:31Love makes giving so pleasing.
00:13:35Tis the seasonal why.
00:13:38Still the biggest trick is getting it to stick.
00:13:41Of the Christmas day.
00:13:45Oh!
00:13:46Bah!
00:13:47Bug.
00:13:48Give up Bummer Bob.
00:13:49He'll go buy a pint of ale.
00:13:51Then he'll borrow, beg and rob you.
00:13:52And at last, end up in jail.
00:13:54When he's been released, who'll come breaking through your door?
00:13:57That's what good your beastly brand of charity is for.
00:14:01Random acts of kindness, random acts.
00:14:03You'll find no good deed goes unpunished and no crook goes straight.
00:14:07Random sacrifices.
00:14:09Falsely playing aces.
00:14:11Man'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.
00:14:23Now's the time to start.
00:14:26Bah!
00:14:27Come on!
00:14:28Random acts of kindness, random acts of kindness.
00:14:32Just in case it's you who ends up on the ground.
00:14:35Time we went in random.
00:14:37Find the acts of random.
00:14:38Make the world go bold.
00:14:45Waitress, here's the only tip you'll be getting from me.
00:14:49Find a new chef.
00:14:51Your hash isn't fit for a dog.
00:14:53Ha, ha, ha.
00:15:15Lisa...
00:15:18No!
00:15:19No!
00:15:20No!
00:15:40Jacob?
00:15:48No!
00:15:51Runship!
00:15:52Animal!
00:15:53Stupid dog!
00:16:17Stupid dog!
00:16:23Stupid dog!
00:16:26The dog!
00:16:27The dog!
00:16:29The dog!
00:16:34The dog!
00:16:35Heptani's a scru.
00:16:38Heptani's a scru.
00:16:39Oh!
00:16:44Humbug.
00:17:14Scrooge.
00:17:33Scrooge.
00:17:46Go away.
00:17:47I won't believe it.
00:17:52Shut up.
00:17:53It's nothing.
00:18:03Ah, old fool, you're acting like a dunderhead.
00:18:16No such thing as spirits.
00:18:20What is it, Demmit?
00:18:32Ebeneezer Scrooge.
00:19:00Sick him.
00:19:07Look at me, Ebeneezer.
00:19:13In life, I was your partner, Jacob Marley.
00:19:20I heard you had no heart, Jacob.
00:19:27Now I see it's true.
00:19:29So you believe in me, then?
00:19:34I don't.
00:19:36You're probably just some undigested food, some bad beef or a blob of mustard.
00:19:42There's more of gravy than of grave about you.
00:19:49No.
00:19:50No.
00:19:51No.
00:19:52No.
00:19:53No.
00:19:54No.
00:19:55No.
00:19:56No.
00:19:57No.
00:19:58No.
00:19:59No.
00:20:00No.
00:20:01No.
00:20:02No.
00:20:03No.
00:20:04No.
00:20:05No.
00:20:06No.
00:20:07No.
00:20:09No.
00:20:10No.
00:20:11No.
00:20:12No.
00:20:13No.
00:20:14No.
00:20:15No.
00:20:16No.
00:20:17No.
00:20:18No.

00:20:45No.
00:20:46No.
00:20:47No.
00:20:48No.
00:20:49No.
00:20:50No.
00:20:51Swan, it is our human duty to walk among our neighbors and do good.
00:20:59If we fail to do this while we are alive, then we're doomed to do it after death.
00:21:09Look, see that poor woman?
00:21:14It's not my business.
00:21:16Mankind is our business.
00:21:21Please, take this for the baby.
00:21:30By the time we realize we must help one another, it is usually too late.
00:21:38When 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.
00:21:57Perhaps you can escape my fate.
00:22:02Really?
00:22:03You simply visit me and then everything's all right?
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.
00:22:24I like chains.
00:22:25No ghost.
00:22:26You hear me?
00:22:27Expect the first when the bell tolls won.
00:22:34No ghosts.
00:22:35No ghosts.
00:22:36No ghosts.
00:22:41Bah.
00:22:42Humbug.
00:22:43Humbug.
00:22:53Good morning, Ebony Scrooge.
00:23:23Boo!
00:23:27Are 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. It's for your own good.
00:23:59A night of unbroken sleep would be better for my good than this.
00:24:05Shuffle your stump, Scrooge.
00:24:15I'm not made of Mr. Moonlight like you. I'll fall.
00:24:20No!
00:24:22Run, run, run, run, run.
00:24:24Devon, run, run.
00:24:25Run, run, run, run.
00:24:27Grrrr, grrrr.
00:24:30Grrrr.
00:24:31Grrrr.
00:24:32Oh, stop bussing.
00:24:34You're no help, debit. Let go.
00:24:37Grrrr.
00:24:39Grrrr.
00:24:40Grrrr.
00:24:41Grrrr.
00:24:44Grrrr.
00:24:45Grrrr.
00:24:47Grrrr.
00:24:48Grrrr.
00:24:52Grrrr.
00:24:53Grrrr.
00:24:55Grrrr.
00:24:56I-I was a boy here.
00:24:57Aigerna.
00:24:58This year was your boarding school.
00:25:01Do you recollect the way?
00:25:04Recollect it? I could walk it blindfold.
00:25:31Ah! Chalk, dust and wood smoke.
00:26:01What you see are but shadows of the things that have been.
00:26:09They can't see of us.
00:26:11Oh, of course.
00:26:14Why didn't you think of that, you twit?
00:26:20A small boy, all alone, neglected by his friends.
00:26:26Rejected by the father, what Levimir.
00:26:29It is... me.
00:26:35Poor, forgotten boy.
00:26:37He... I... was never invited home for the holidays.
00:26:43Alone. Stranded.
00:26:48I wish...
00:26:50What's the matter, eh?
00:26:53There was a boy at my door last night.
00:26:56Perhaps I should have given him something.
00:26:59That's all.
00:27:00You did, Gov.
00:27:02A fistful of coal!
00:27:11It's Robinson Crusoe!
00:27:14Yes!
00:27:15I remember this day.
00:27:18He was my favourite storybook character.
00:27:21Blimey!
00:27:22You've been visited by spirits before.
00:27:26Don't mock me, Shade.
00:27:28Everyone's gone but the cat.
00:27:39Everyone's gone but the cat.
00:27:43Once again, I'm all alone.
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.
00:28:00I'll slay the beast.
00:28:10I'll bring the feast.
00:28:14I'll throw a carnival with forty clowns at least.
00:28:22I'll ride a whale.
00:28:25I'll find the grail.
00:28:27I'll be a matador.
00:28:32What's more, I'll live to tell the tale.
00:28:36Like Arthur on his throne.
00:28:39I won't be alone.
00:28:43Once I pull the sword out of the stone.
00:28:49Not sad at all, Up on the wall, See all my friends when shadows fall.
00:29:05But then as the firelight dies, I can see with my own eyes.
00:29:12No friends at all, When shadows fall.
00:29:30Let's see another Christmas.
00:29:35Bah humbug!
00:29:42So many lonely Christmases.
00:29:52Right.
00:29:53But not this one.
00:29:56Ebby!
00:29:57Fan!
00:29:58Fan.
00:29:59My little sister.
00:30:00I've come to bring you home dear brother.
00:30:03Home?
00:30:04But father.
00:30:05Oh, go on father.
00:30:06I've come to bring you home dear brother.
00:30:08Home?
00:30:09But father.
00:30:10Oh, go on father.
00:30:11I've come to bring you home dear brother.
00:30:12Father.
00:30:13I'm inviting you.
00:30:14We're family.
00:30:15And I told father, I want you at home.
00:30:17Good old Fan.
00:30:20Lovely Fan.
00:30:22Such a large heart for such a tiny creature.
00:30:26She died a woman.
00:30:27And had, as I recall, a child.
00:30:29Yes.
00:30:31My nephew, Fred.
00:30:33Goodbye, you wretched old school.
00:30:36Fan was right.
00:30:37We had a happy Christmas in spite of father.
00:30:42Oh, I wish she were alive to invite me home again.
00:30:46But she has, through her son, Fred.
00:30:49Don't you see?
00:30:51Her goodness lives in him.
00:30:54Yes.
00:30:55Oh, I wish-
00:30:56Hmm.
00:30:57Ah!
00:30:58Never mind.
00:30:59Let us visit another kind soon.
00:31:01Let's see.
00:31:02Let us visit another kind soon.
00:31:03Let us visit another kind soon.
00:31:07Oh, my God.
00:31:08Let us visit the nurse.
00:31:10Why, it's old Fezziwig, my boss.
00:31:18Bust my buttons, he hasn't changed the bet.
00:31:23Ho, ho there, Ebenezer, Dick.
00:31:27No more work tonight, no, no, it's Christmas Eve, my boys.
00:31:32Clear away and let's have lots of room here.
00:31:40I was an apprentice here. A good one too. Old Fezziwig treated me like his own son.
00:32:10Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:32:13Ha, ha, ha!
00:32:30A ha, ha, ha...
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.
00:33:19To make our jobs a pleasure or a drudgery.
00:33:22He must have set quite an example for you.
00:33:27Now what?
00:33:29Oh, nothing particular.
00:33:32I'd like to be able to say something to Bob Cratchit just now.
00:33:36That's all.
00:33:38Come.
00:33:39My 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 and it holds the future.
00:34:06A ring?
00:34:07No.
00:34:08The profits were my first business venture.
00:34:10Isn't it wonderful, Belle?
00:34:12Now I'm sure to be a success.
00:34:15Stop talking, you mindless pup.
00:34:19Belle?
00:34:21The first minute.
00:34:22I have, good morning.
00:34:23Come home.
00:34:24Now we've reached this bridge together.
00:34:28And I hope we'll soon be crossed.
00:34:33So don't put a prize on paradise.
00:34:39On paradise, or our paradise is lost
00:34:46Any bridge leads to disaster
00:34:51If its moorings aren't secure
00:34:56Heaven won't provide, on the bridge's dark side
00:35:01It's our wealth which will endure
00:35:06I'll cross this bridge with you
00:35:11I'll cross this bridge with you
00:35:16Show me the man that I once knew
00:35:20And I'll cross this bridge with you
00:35:25No one lives on hopes and wishes
00:35:30Love alone grows dry and cold
00:35:35But the sun will shine on these bright dreams of mine
00:35:40As upon this coin of gold
00:35:45Can I cross this bridge with you?
00:35:48I'm who I am
00:35:50Your 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?
00:36:05Life 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? Where's your heart?
00:36:17Now it's time to say goodbye to
00:36:22Frivolous dreams we've known
00:36:28Can't we cross this bridge together?
00:36:33I'll cross this bridge
00:36:34I'll cross this bridge
00:36:38...
00:36:39trivia
00:36:43Go after her you fool
00:36:46Go after her, you fool!
00:36:55Stop.
00:36:57Don't show me anymore.
00:36:59I told you, these are the shadows of the things that have passed.
00:37:04Don't go blaming me for your choices.
00:37:07Why are you torturing me like this, Spirit?
00:37:10Leave me alone, please!
00:37:13Take me back home!
00:37:14Haunt me no more!
00:37:19Spirit?
00:37:24A bad dream, was it?
00:37:29Crying in your sleep, thick-headed old ninny.
00:37:36I'm not going to take it anymore!
00:37:39You hear me, spirits?
00:37:41No more!
00:37:44Sure deal.
00:37:47Do you see something in your home, you were around the castle?
00:37:54Here, are you sure?
00:37:55No more with them.
00:37:58Here are some setup.
00:37:59brincade
00:37:59Oh, my God.
00:38:29Oh, my God.
00:38:59What in blazes?
00:39:01Come out, Ebeneezer Scrooge.
00:39:11Don't worry. Leave me be.
00:39:13Come out, come out, and know me better.
00:39:25Observe me, Scrooge.
00:39:27I am the ghost of Christmas present.
00:39:30No. Go away.
00:39:45I bet you've never had a guest like me before.
00:39:53I'm sure I haven't, madam.
00:40:01You bet your prayers bed, nor have you entertained any of my earlier family members.
00:40:09I'm afraid not.
00:40:11Do you have many sisters, Spirit?
00:40:15Nearly 1900.
00:40:17Come, touch my robe.
00:40:20After that last spirit, I'd rather not.
00:40:24Oh, no.
00:40:25This is not a multiple choice, Mr. Crumpyface.
00:40:28Come.
00:40:29But my dog gets lonely.
00:40:32He needs me to stay with him.
00:40:36See?
00:40:39Oh, he seems contented enough to me.
00:40:42Come along.
00:40:43I've got to get a lock for that window.
00:40:49Happy Christmas.
00:40:51Happy me.
00:40:52Happy everyone.
00:40:54Woo-ha-ha.
00:40:56Happy humpback.
00:40:58What?
00:40:59Backsliding already?
00:41:01Well, it's just that...
00:41:03Why should I be accused of being selfish when...
00:41:06Yes?
00:41:07When Christmas is a selfish holiday.
00:41:11What?
00:41:11So, tell me, Scrooge, was that selfish?
00:41:24Yes.
00:41:25You only saved me so you can annoy me further.
00:41:30What a tough old walnut you are.
00:41:32All right, then.
00:41:33Let's see if I can convince you otherwise.
00:41:41Oh, I'm so happy.
00:41:53What a wonderful Christmas day.
00:41:54This is the best Christmas ever.
00:41:56Martha, my dear.
00:41:57What's keeping your father and brother?
00:41:58Here they are now.
00:42:08Spirit, who are these people?
00:42:11What do they have to do with me?
00:42:13Just hold your horses.
00:42:19Good evening, Mrs. Cratchit and all you little Cratchits.
00:42:22Hello, Father.
00:42:23Hello, Papa.
00:42:24Hello, Father.
00:42:25The Cratchits?
00:42:27I 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 church?
00:42:39As good as gold.
00:42:40No, better.
00:42:42What?
00:42:42There's something better than gold?
00:42:44Oh, my goodness.
00:42:46That looks delicious.
00:42:47That looks delicious.
00:42:48Oh, I'm so hungry.
00:42:50Everyone's in company.
00:42:52So, do you want to talk or eat?
00:42:54Eat.
00:43:01I give you the delighter of our stomachs, Mrs. Cratchit.
00:43:06Hear, hear.
00:43:07That was delicious.
00:43:08That was so lovely.
00:43:09And 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.
00:43:42Yeah.
00:43:42Random acts of kindness.
00:43:43Look on him with kindness.
00:43:45Can't you see a Scrooge who simply starred 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.
00:43:58We use 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.
00:44:18Or still for goodness sake, we'll drink.
00:44:20This might as hell.
00:44:24To Scrooge!
00:44:25I provide them with an income, and this is how they treat me.
00:44:33Oh, you're too good for Scrooge, Bob.
00:44:36But 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.
00:44:43Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:44:45Oh, very good.
00:44:47Now clear away.
00:44:50Let me, Tim.
00:44:50You go warm up.
00:45:13Look 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?
00:45:39Nothing, nothing.
00:45:44Robinson Crusoe.
00:45:53Oh, you see here?
00:45:54This is just before the pirates attack.
00:45:57Oh, 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, read on.
00:46:05Read.
00:46:07A remarkable boy.
00:46:09I 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.
00:46:56A Merry Christmas to us all, my dears.
00:47:00God bless us.
00:47:04Yes, God bless us, everyone.
00:47:08Hear, hear.
00:47:09I am so thankful to be in the bosom of my wonderful family at Christmas time.
00:47:15I'll never forget.
00:47:16I wish I had a family to be with.
00:47:19Ah, but you do, you silly man.
00:47:23What 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.
00:47:44Oh, Scrooge, just listen to you.
00:47:48You're just so funny now, aren't you?
00:47:51Oh, I love you.
00:47:52Did 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?
00:48:16Not even his stinginess?
00:48:17No, 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.
00:48:30I never realized how...
00:48:32Yes?
00:48:33...how much he looks like Fan.
00:48:36And with such a big heart.
00:48:39Now, 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.
00:48:47And you must all join in.
00:48:54Yes, I remembered this Santa's sooty suit.
00:48:57Twas last Christmas Eve, I had a cause to hide beneath the stairs.
00:49:03I stayed awake for Santa Claus and caught him unawares.
00:49:10He was coming from the fireplace from the chimney's smoky chute.
00:49:18And 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-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub, scrub-a-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub.
00:49:30Twas a red-red velvet jacket, you could tell was once a beaut.
00:49:34Of a torn and tousled trouser streaked with slushy stains to boot.
00:49:37With the blackened, beaten bridges of a big and burly brute.
00:49:41I never dreamed I might see such a fright as Santa's sooty suit.
00:49:44Never dreamed he might see such a fright as Santa's sooty suit.
00:49:47Scrub-a-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub, scrub-a-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub.
00:49:51Come then, it's time for the missus.
00:49:53It had blotty 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 so acute.
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.
00:50:11Scrub-a-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub, scrub-a-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub.
00:50:15Now Santa talks to him.
00:50:18Then old Santa did address me, and his tone was resolute.
00:50:23He said,
00:50:24Son, don't second-guess me.
00:50:27Come and be my new recruit.
00:50:31His appeal did so impress me,
00:50:34I was near about to scoot.
00:50:39Then 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.
00:50:53Overtone and tussled trousers, feet with slushy stains to boot.
00:50:56With the black and beaten breeches of a big and burly brute.
00:50:59All in there were dots more neat of socks than Santa's feet.
00:51:01Had blotchy brownish buckles and a belt of liquished root.
00:51:04With scruffy fluffy ruffles falling into disrepute.
00:51:07It was smudgy soiled and sullied, if somehow sort of cute.
00:51:10Never dreamed I might see such a fight,
00:51:11Then make that night for him I looked right.
00:51:13That's Santa's stinky, great and inky, messy, mucky,
00:51:15Icky, yucky, grungy, grubby, needs a scrubby,
00:51:18scrubbing up a sooty suit.
00:51:19Hey!
00:51:27Did you see me, spirit?
00:51:32Yes, Scrooge, very merry.
00:51:35However, we must go now.
00:51:37But I was just enjoying myself.
00:51:40Scrooge, my stay upon this earth is very brief.
00:51:45It ends this very night.
00:51:46Are spirits' lives so short?
00:51:54Farewell.
00:51:56Farewell, Ebeneezer Scrooge.
00:52:02Spirit!
00:52:04Spirit!
00:52:10Spirit!
00:52:14Spirit!
00:52:20Speak to me, spirit.
00:52:22Spirit!
00:52:22Am I correct that you are the ghost of Christmas yet to come?
00:52:43Will you not speak to me?
00:52:45Is it you who will show me the shadows of the things that have not yet happened?
00:52:54Oh, ghost of the future.
00:52:57I fear you most of all.
00:53:00But if your goal is to do me good,
00:53:04then I hope to be a better person than before.
00:53:07Lead on.
00:53:10This is the business exchange.
00:53:20I come here often.
00:53:23But where am I today?
00:53:24No, I don't know much about it either way.
00:53:29I 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?
00:53:38Oh, he hasn't left it to me.
00:53:40That's all I know.
00:53:42Gentlemen, tell me, which of our colleagues has died?
00:53:45It'll probably be a cheap funeral,
00:53:48because nobody will go to it.
00:53:51I don't mind going,
00:53:53if 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.
00:54:33Look what I found under here.
00:54:39Silver they are.
00:54:41Think you'll miss them?
00:54:42Nah.
00:54:44His tea-stirring days are over.
00:54:48If he wanted someone to look after his belongings after he was dead,
00:54:53he should have made friends when he was still breathing.
00:54:56I loved through where words was never spoke.
00:55:00You 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.
00:55:12Spirit, this is a fearful place,
00:55:20but I see the lesson.
00:55:23The fate of this unhappy man
00:55:26might happen to me someday.
00:55:29Right?
00:55:30Oh, 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?
00:56:03I think he walks a little slower than he used to, Mother.
00:56:06Oh, I have known him to walk with...
00:56:09with 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, no.
00:56:44Not... not tiny Tim.
00:56:51Spirit, tell me.
00:56:54Can this cruel future be changed?
00:56:59Is this, then, where that wretched dead man now lies underground?
00:57:13Oh...
00:57:14Before I look closer, answer me one question.
00:57:32Are these the shadows of the things that will be?
00:57:36Or only the things that might be?
00:57:38All lives lead to certain ends,
00:57:42but if our lives change,
00:57:45then the ends must also change, right?
00:57:48They must!
00:57:52Oh...
00:57:52Oh...
00:57:53No!
00:58:06That lonely corpse was me.
00:58:12Oh, no.
00:58:13No.
00:58:15Don't let me die unmourned.
00:58:19Spirit, listen.
00:58:20I am not the man I was.
00:58:23I've changed.
00:58:24I will honour Christmas in my heart
00:58:28and keep it all the year.
00:58:30I will learn from the past.
00:58:33I will live in the present
00:58:35and I will hope for the future.
00:58:38I will keep the three spirits in my soul
00:58:41and remember their lessons always.
00:58:44Good spirit, I'm not that man anymore.
00:58:55Why show me these shadows
00:58:56if I am past all hope?
00:58:59Please tell me that I can make a brighter future than this.
00:59:04All alone.
00:59:17Stranded.
00:59:20I'm home.
00:59:36I'm home.
00:59:37I'm home.
00:59:38I've been given another chance, Deppet,
00:59:48and so have you.
00:59:50Oh, heaven and Christmas time be praised.
01:00:01I say it on my knees, old Jacob.
01:00:04On my knees.
01:00:13My spoons.
01:00:17They're still here.
01:00:23The dark shadows of things that would have been
01:00:27are gone.
01:00:28I know they are.
01:00:31I heard a tale about Christmas
01:00:34whose truth caused my spirit to burn.
01:00:39My present, my past, and my future
01:00:42taught me I'd so much to learn.
01:00:46I've lived a tale of a miser
01:00:49who spoiled every joy that he could.
01:00:53Then he got older and wiser
01:00:57and only yearned to be good.
01:00:59Once my memories
01:01:03brought me nothing but pain.
01:01:05Now it's Christmas
01:01:08with new precious memories to gain.
01:01:12I'll sing a song full of wonder
01:01:14like snow from the heavens above.
01:01:17I'll share my new song of Christmas.
01:01:19I've a new song of love.
01:01:25I've a new song of love.
01:01:27A merry Christmas to everybody.
01:01:39Happy New Year to the world.
01:01:42Hello, my fine fellow.
01:01:46Yes.
01:01:47Yes.
01:01:48You, lad.
01:01:51Wait.
01:01:52Don't run.
01:01:54Please.
01:01:55What 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
01:02:10that was hanging there?
01:02:11What?
01:02:12The one as big as me?
01:02:13Ha!
01:02:13Ha!
01:02:13Ha!
01:02:14Yes, my lad.
01:02:15That very one.
01:02:17Tell him to bring it here
01:02:19and 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
01:02:27and I'll give you two.
01:02:28Come, my faithful friend.
01:02:35We have much to do.
01:02:48Merry Christmas, gentlemen,
01:02:51and a happy new year.
01:02:52Oh, dear.
01:03:05No!
01:03:06Wait!
01:03:07Come back!
01:03:15We won't pester you for money ever again.
01:03:17We promise.
01:03:18No, no, please.
01:03:20I must apologise to you both
01:03:22for the terrible way
01:03:23I treated you yesterday.
01:03:26You are Mr Scrooge, aren't you?
01:03:29Well, not that old Scrooge, at any rate.
01:03:33Please, let me donate something
01:03:35to...
01:03:37to make up for my selfishness.
01:03:41Well, certainly.
01:03:43So, you'll come see me tomorrow
01:03:45at my office?
01:03:46Most certainly.
01:03:49But, Mr Scrooge,
01:03:51why now?
01:03:52Because it's too late
01:03:53to do it
01:03:54when we're dead.
01:03:57Yes!
01:03:58Yes, of course!
01:03:59Thank you!
01:04:00Thank 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
01:04:12to all this smiling yet.
01:04:14Well, my dears,
01:04:16we may truly count
01:04:18our blessings.
01:04:19I have no idea
01:04:20where this magnificent bird

01:04:22but let's eat!
01:04:25Here!
