1. Yes.Copy !req
2. Quite dead.Copy !req
3. As a doornail.Copy !req
4. Certificate ofdeath, sir.Copy !req
5. Stop!Copy !req
6. Back away, praddock.Copy !req
7. Tuppence is tuppence.Copy !req
8. - Beg your pardon!
- I say!Copy !req
9. Delinquents.Copy !req
10. Newspaper!Copy !req
11. [boy 1] We're hungry, sir!Copy !req
12. [boy 2] Please, sir, we're very hungry.Copy !req
13. [boy 3] Any morsel. We're hungry, sir.Copy !req
14. - [boy 1] Any scraps.
- [boy 2] We're starving,Copy !req
15. [boy 3] Please, sir. We're very hungry.Copy !req
16. Oh! Merry Christmas,
from his lordship, the mayor!Copy !req
17. - [boy 2] Please, sir.
- [boy 1] Oh, look. There it is.Copy !req
18. [boy 1] Oi! Come back here with that!
That's our meat!Copy !req
19. Give it back! That's ours!
Come back here!Copy !req
20. - There you are, sir.
- Thanks.Copy !req
21. Fresh hot chestnuts.Copy !req
22. - How would you like this one?
- That's perfect.Copy !req
23. That's a nice fresh eel.Copy !req
24. Here is the Father, the Son
and the Holy Ghost. Get lost.Copy !req
25. And under which one is the pea?
Boom, boom, boom, boom...Copy !req
26. - Boom! Get out of here.Copy !req
27. - There we are. Watch this now.Copy !req
28. Merry Christmas, Uncle!Copy !req
29. - God save you.
- Bah! Humbug!Copy !req
30. Christmas a humbug?
Uncle! You don't mean that.Copy !req
31. Merry Christmas.Copy !req
32. What reason have you to be merry?
You're poor enough.Copy !req
33. What right have you to be so dismal?
You're rich enough.Copy !req
34. - Humbug!
- Don't be cross, Uncle.Copy !req
35. What else can I be when I live
in such a world of fools as this?Copy !req
36. Merry Christmas.Copy !req
37. What's Christmastime to you but
a time for paying bills without money.Copy !req
38. A time for finding yourself a year older
and not a penny richer.Copy !req
39. If I could work my will,Copy !req
40. every idiot who goes about
with "Merry Christmas" on his lipsCopy !req
41. should be boiled in his own puddingCopy !req
42. and buried with a stake of holly
through his heart!Copy !req
43. - Uncle!
- Nephew!Copy !req
44. Keep Christmas in your own way
and let me keep it in mine.Copy !req
45. Keep it? But you don't keep it!Copy !req
46. Let me leave it alone then.Copy !req
47. Much good it has ever done you.Copy !req
48. There are many things from which I have
derived good and have not profited.Copy !req
49. Christmas being among them.Copy !req
50. But I have always thought of Christmas
as a kind, charitable time.Copy !req
51. The only time when men
open their shut-up heartsCopy !req
52. and think of all people
as fellow travelers to the graveCopy !req
53. and not some other race of creatures
bound on otherjourneys.Copy !req
54. And therefore, Uncle,Copy !req
55. although it has never put a scrap
of gold or silver in my pocket,Copy !req
56. I believe it has done me good,
and I say, God bless it!Copy !req
57. Let me hear another
sound out of you, Cratchit,Copy !req
58. and you'll keep Christmas
by losing your situation!Copy !req
59. You're quite a powerful speaker, sir.
A wonder you don't go into Parliament.Copy !req
60. Don't be cross, Uncle.
Come, dine with us tomorrow.Copy !req
61. I'll see you in hell first.Copy !req
62. But why?
Why so cold-hearted, Uncle? Why?Copy !req
63. Why did you get married?Copy !req
64. Because I fell in love.Copy !req
65. Because...Copy !req
66. you fell...Copy !req
67. in love?Copy !req
68. Good afternoon.Copy !req
69. I want nothing from you.
I ask nothing of you.Copy !req
70. - Why can't we be friends?
- Good afternoon.Copy !req
71. I'm sorry, with all my heart,
to find you so resolute.Copy !req
72. But I have made the trial
in homage to Christmas, and therefore,Copy !req
73. - merry Christmas, Uncle!
- Good afternoon!Copy !req
74. - And a happy New Year!
- Good afternoon!Copy !req
75. And a very merry Christmas
to you too, Mr. Cratchit.Copy !req
76. Merry Christmas to you, sir.Copy !req
77. - There's another one.Copy !req
78. - A clerk making 15 shillings a week...Copy !req
79. and with a wife and family,
talking about a merry Christmas.Copy !req
80. - I'll retire to Bedlam.Copy !req
81. Ah. Good afternoon.
Scrooge and Marley's, I believe?Copy !req
82. Ah...Copy !req
83. Have I the pleasure of addressing
Mr. Scrooge or Mr. Marley?Copy !req
84. Mr. Marley has been dead
these seven years.Copy !req
85. He died seven years ago...
this very night.Copy !req
86. Oh...Copy !req
87. Well, we have no doubt
that his generosityCopy !req
88. is well represented
by his surviving partner.Copy !req
89. At this festive season
of the year, Mr. Scrooge,Copy !req
90. it is more than usually desirable that
we should make some slight provisionCopy !req
91. for the poor and the destitute.Copy !req
92. Many thousands are in want
of common comfort, sir.Copy !req
93. Are there no prisons?Copy !req
94. Prisons? Yes, yes, plenty of prisons.Copy !req
95. And the union workhouses,
are they still in operation?Copy !req
96. They are. I wish
I could say they were not.Copy !req
97. The treadmill in full vigor?Copy !req
98. - Very busy, sir.
- Good!Copy !req
99. I was afraid something had occurred
to stop them in their useful course.Copy !req
100. Yes. At this festive season, a few
of us are endeavoring to raise a fundCopy !req
101. to buy the poor some meat
and drink and means ofwarmth.Copy !req
102. What shall we put you down for?Copy !req
103. - Nothing.
- Oh, you wish to remain anonymous?Copy !req
104. I wish to be left alone!
I don't make merry myself at Christmas,Copy !req
105. and I can't afford
to make idle people merry.Copy !req
106. I support the establishments
I have mentioned.Copy !req
107. And those who are badly off
must go there.Copy !req
108. Many cannot go there.Copy !req
109. And, well, frankly,
many would rather die.Copy !req
110. Then they had better do it
and decrease the surplus population.Copy !req
111. Good afternoon, gentlemen!Copy !req
112. Good afternoon.Copy !req
113. You'll want all day tomorrow, I suppose?Copy !req
114. Well, if quite convenient, sir.Copy !req
115. It's not convenient, and it's not fair.Copy !req
116. If I were to dock you a half a crown
for it, you'd think yourself ill-used.Copy !req
117. And yet you don't think me ill-used
when I pay a day's wages for no work.Copy !req
118. Well, it's only once a year, sir.Copy !req
119. Poor excuse for picking a man's pocket
every 25th of December.Copy !req
120. But I suppose you
must have the whole day.Copy !req
121. Be here all the earlier
the next morning.Copy !req
122. Sir.Copy !req
123. Whoa!Copy !req
124. In honor of Christmas Eve!Copy !req
125. Whoa!Copy !req
126. - Bugger it!Copy !req
127. Where are you? Here!Copy !req
128. Why does everything
seem to happen to me?Copy !req
129. - Ah!Copy !req
130. Get away! Get away!Copy !req
131. Ha! Balderdash!Copy !req
132. I have given myself the willies.Copy !req
133. That's what it is.Copy !req
134. It's all still a hum... Ah!Copy !req
135. Oh!Copy !req
136. How now!Copy !req
137. What do you want with me?Copy !req
138. Oh, much.Copy !req
139. - Who are you?
- Ask me who I was.Copy !req
140. Who were you then?Copy !req
141. In life, I was your partner,Copy !req
142. Jacob Marley.Copy !req
143. Can you sit down?Copy !req
144. - I can.
- Do it then.Copy !req
145. You do not believe in me.Copy !req
146. I don't.Copy !req
147. Why do you doubt your senses?Copy !req
148. Because the littlest thing
can affect them.Copy !req
149. A slight disorder of the stomach
can make them cheat.Copy !req
150. You may be an undigested bit of beef.
A blot of mustard.Copy !req
151. A crumb of cheese.
A fragment of underdone potato.Copy !req
152. There's more of gravy than of grave
about you, whatever you are.Copy !req
153. Mercy! Dreadful apparition,
why do you trouble me?Copy !req
154. Man ofworldly mind,
do you believe in me or not?Copy !req
155. I do! I must!Copy !req
156. Woe! Woe is me!Copy !req
157. You are fettered in chains. Why?Copy !req
158. I wear the chain I forged in life.Copy !req
159. I made it link by link and yard by yard.Copy !req
160. Do you recognize its pattern?Copy !req
161. Can you imagine the weight and length
of the chain you bear?Copy !req
162. It was as heavy and long
as this seven Christmas Eves ago.Copy !req
163. Oh, yours is a ponderous chain.Copy !req
164. Jacob, tell me no more.Copy !req
165. Speak comfort to me, Jacob.Copy !req
166. I have none to give.Copy !req
167. I cannot stay.
I cannot linger anywhere.Copy !req
168. Mark me, in life, my spirit never walked
beyond our countinghouse,Copy !req
169. never roved beyond the narrow limits
of our money-changing hole.Copy !req
170. Now endless journeys lie before me.Copy !req
171. Seven years dead
and traveling all the time?Copy !req
172. The whole time. No rest, no peace.Copy !req
173. You must've covered
a lot of ground in seven years.Copy !req
174. I was blind!
Blind! I could not see my own life!Copy !req
175. Squandered and misused.
Oh, woe... Oh, woe is me!Copy !req
176. But you were always
a good man of business!Copy !req
177. - Business!Copy !req
178. Mankind... was my business.Copy !req
179. The common welfare was my business.Copy !req
180. Charity, mercy, forbearance,
and benevolence were all my...Copy !req
181. Hear me! My time is nearly gone.Copy !req
182. I will. But don't be hard upon me,
Jacob. Pray.Copy !req
183. I am here to warn youCopy !req
184. that you have yet a chance
at a hope of escaping my fate.Copy !req
185. A chance of my procuring, Ebenezer.Copy !req
186. You were always a good friend
to me, Jacob. Thank 'ee.Copy !req
187. You will be haunted by three spirits.Copy !req
188. That's the chance and hope?Copy !req
189. - I'd rather not.
- Expect the firstCopy !req
190. tomorrow when the bell tolls one.Copy !req
191. Couldn't I take them all at once,
and have it over with, Jacob?Copy !req
192. Expect the second the next night
at the same hour.Copy !req
193. And the third upon the next night,Copy !req
194. when the last stroke of 12Copy !req
195. has ceased to vibrate.Copy !req
196. Look to see me no more.Copy !req
197. Ah!Copy !req
198. Ah!Copy !req
199. I'm sorry.Copy !req
200. I wish I could help you.Copy !req
201. - Ah!Copy !req
202. Oh!Copy !req
203. Ah!Copy !req
204. Ah!Copy !req
205. Are you the spirit whose coming
was foretold to me?Copy !req
206. I am.Copy !req
207. Is it possible that
you might put your cap on?Copy !req
208. Would you so soon put out,
with your worldly hands,Copy !req
209. the light I give?Copy !req
210. No, no! No, no! I'm so sorry.Copy !req
211. I meant nothing by it.
I meant no offense.Copy !req
212. I just thought I...Copy !req
213. Who and what are you?Copy !req
214. I am the Ghost of Christmas Past.Copy !req
215. Long past?Copy !req
216. Your past.Copy !req
217. Rise.Copy !req
218. And walk with me.Copy !req
219. But I am mortal and liable to fall.Copy !req
220. Bear but a touch of my hand there...Copy !req
221. and you shall be upheld
in more than this.Copy !req
222. Whoa!Copy !req
223. Good heavens.Copy !req
224. I was bred in this place.Copy !req
225. I was a boy here.Copy !req
226. Your lip... is trembling.Copy !req
227. And what's that?Copy !req
228. - On your cheek?
- Nothing.Copy !req
229. Something in my eye.Copy !req
230. Do you remember the way?Copy !req
231. Remember it?Copy !req
232. I could walk it blindfolded.Copy !req
233. Giddyup! Giddyup!Copy !req
234. - Oh! Whoa!Copy !req
235. These are but shadows of things
that have been.Copy !req
236. They have no consciousness... of us.Copy !req
237. I knew them.Copy !req
238. I know every one of them.Copy !req
239. They were schoolmates of mine.Copy !req
240. Let's go on.Copy !req
241. This...Copy !req
242. This was my school.Copy !req
243. This school is not quite deserted.Copy !req
244. A solitary child...Copy !req
245. neglected by his friends...Copy !req
246. is left here still.Copy !req
247. I know.Copy !req
248. Poor boy.Copy !req
249. Poor, poor boy.Copy !req
250. Let's... see another Christmas.Copy !req
251. Ebenezer!Copy !req
252. Ebenezer!Copy !req
253. Dear, dear brother!
I've come to bring you home!Copy !req
254. - Home, little Fan?
- Yes, home!Copy !req
255. Father is so much kinder
than he used to be.Copy !req
256. He spoke so gently to me one night.Copy !req
257. I was not afraid to ask him
if you might come home.Copy !req
258. And he said yes!Copy !req
259. And he sent me in a coach to fetch you.Copy !req
260. And we're to be together
all the Christmas long.Copy !req
261. And to have the merriest time
in all the world!Copy !req
262. You're quite a woman, little Fan.Copy !req
263. - She had a large heart.
- She died a woman.Copy !req
264. And had, as I think...Copy !req
265. children.Copy !req
266. Yes, one child.Copy !req
267. True.Copy !req
268. - Your nephew.
- Yes.Copy !req
269. - Do you know this place?Copy !req
270. Know it? I was an apprentice here!Copy !req
271. Why, it's old Fezziwig.Copy !req
272. Bless his heart!
It's Fezziwig alive again!Copy !req
273. Yo-ho! Ebenezer, come on!Copy !req
274. Come on! Dick! Come on! It's 6:00.Copy !req
275. They're going to be here soon.Copy !req
276. Dick Wilkins. Bless me, yes.
There he is, Dick Wilkins.Copy !req
277. He was very attached to me, was Dick.Copy !req
278. Yo-ho, me lads! No more work tonight.
It's Christmas Eve!Copy !req
279. Hooray!Copy !req
280. Dick, Ebenezer,
let's get cleared away.Copy !req
281. We want lots of space.
Lots and lots of space.Copy !req
282. Hee-hi!Copy !req
283. Whoa!Copy !req
284. Maestro!Copy !req
285. May I present...?Copy !req
286. Whoo!Copy !req
287. Whoo!Copy !req
288. Well done! Well done!Copy !req
289. And now, kind fiddler, if you please.Copy !req
290. It is time for Sir Roger de Coverley!Copy !req
291. - Hey!Copy !req
292. Might I have this dance with you?Copy !req
293. - Whoo!Copy !req
294. Ebenezer, it's your pass.Copy !req
295. Another idol has replaced me.Copy !req
296. Another idol?
What idol?Copy !req
297. A golden one.Copy !req
298. There is nothing on this earth
more terrifying to meCopy !req
299. than a life doomed to poverty.Copy !req
300. May I ask, why do you condemn,
with such severity,Copy !req
301. the honest pursuit of substance?Copy !req
302. You fear the world too much, Ebenezer.Copy !req
303. - You've changed.
- Changed?Copy !req
304. Perhaps grown wiser,
but I have not changed toward you.Copy !req
305. Our contract is an old one.Copy !req
306. It was made when we were
both poor and content to be so.Copy !req
307. When it was made...Copy !req
308. - You were another man.
- I was a boy!Copy !req
309. I release you, Ebenezer.Copy !req
310. Have I ever sought release?Copy !req
311. - In words, no.
- In what, then?Copy !req
312. In an altered spirit.Copy !req
313. In another atmosphere of life.Copy !req
314. In everything that made my love
of any worth in your sight.Copy !req
315. Tell me, Ebenezer, if this contract
had never been between us,Copy !req
316. would you seek me out now?Copy !req
317. No.Copy !req
318. You think not?Copy !req
319. I would gladly think otherwise
if I could.Copy !req
320. But if you were free today,
would you choose a dowerless girl?Copy !req
321. A girl left penniless
by the death of her parents?Copy !req
322. You, who weighs everything by gain?Copy !req
323. I release you, Ebenezer.Copy !req
324. May you be happy in the life
you've chosen.Copy !req
325. Spirit, remove me from this place.Copy !req
326. I told you, these were shadows
of things that have been.Copy !req
327. They are what they are.
Do not blame me.Copy !req
328. Remove me. I cannot bear it.Copy !req
329. Leave me! Take me back!Copy !req
330. Haunt me no longer!Copy !req
331. Ah! Oh!Copy !req
332. Ah! Ah!Copy !req
333. Oh, blast!Copy !req
334. Enter, Scrooge!Copy !req
335. Come in! Come in
and know me better, man!Copy !req
336. I am the Ghost of Christmas Present.Copy !req
337. Look upon me!Copy !req
338. You have never seen
the likes of me before?Copy !req
339. Never.Copy !req
340. Have never walked forth
with my elder brothers?Copy !req
341. I don't think that I have.Copy !req
342. You have many brothers?Copy !req
343. More than 1,800.Copy !req
344. 1,842, to be exact.Copy !req
345. Oh.Copy !req
346. I see you wear a scabbard, but no sword.Copy !req
347. Indeed.Copy !req
348. Peace on Earth. Goodwill toward men.Copy !req
349. Spirit, conduct me where you will.Copy !req
350. Oh...Copy !req
351. Touch my robe.Copy !req
352. Oh! What's happening?
What are you doing?Copy !req
353. - Ah!Copy !req
354. Oh!Copy !req
355. Very strange.Copy !req
356. Indeed. Not many mortals are grantedCopy !req
357. - a heavenly perspective of man's world.
- Yes.Copy !req
358. It's quite beautiful.Copy !req
359. Spirit, these poor people
have no means to cook their food.Copy !req
360. And yet you seek
to close the only placesCopy !req
361. in which they can warm
their meager meals every seventh day.Copy !req
362. - Oh!Copy !req
363. Hear me, Scrooge.Copy !req
364. There are some upon this earth of yoursCopy !req
365. who claim to know me and my brothers,Copy !req
366. and do their deeds of ill will
and selfishness in our name.Copy !req
367. These so-called "men of the cloth"Copy !req
368. are as strange to me and my kin
as if they never lived.Copy !req
369. Charge their doings to them, not us.Copy !req
370. Aye. I will.Copy !req
371. Smell that?Copy !req
372. Cooking goose!Copy !req
373. Come on!Copy !req
374. I take it this bleak paupers'
dwelling is of some significance.Copy !req
375. It is all your loyal clerk can affordCopy !req
376. for his meager 15 bob a week.Copy !req
377. - Mother!
- Papa!Copy !req
378. We just came by the baker shop.Copy !req
379. And smelled our goose,
cooking delicious.Copy !req
380. Shut the door, please. What
happened to your precious father?Copy !req
381. And your brother. And Martha,
she wasn't as late last Christmas Day.Copy !req
382. Mother, here she is, Mother.
Here's Martha.Copy !req
383. Martha! Wait till you see
our goose. 'Tis a wonderful one.Copy !req
384. Peter, offwith you
to the baker's and collect the bird.Copy !req
385. And take the children with you.
And pray, no dallying.Copy !req
386. Why, bless your heart alive!
Dear, how late you are!Copy !req
387. We had a deal ofwork to finish up last
night and clear away this morning.Copy !req
388. Never mind. Long as you're here. Sit ye
down before the fire and have a warm.Copy !req
389. No. No, no, no. There's Father coming.Copy !req
390. Hide, Martha.
You must hide. Hide, Martha.Copy !req
391. - It's cold out there.
- Hello, Father. Hello, Timmy.Copy !req
392. - Why, where's our Martha?
- Uh... Not coming.Copy !req
393. Not coming?
Not coming upon Christmas Day?Copy !req
394. - Here I am, Father!Copy !req
395. We got you, Father.Copy !req
396. I couldn't bear to see you in a state
of disappointment. If only for a giggle.Copy !req
397. It's so lovely to see you, my Martha.Copy !req
398. Come on, Timmy. I hear
the pudding singing in the copper.Copy !req
399. Shall we have a look, then?Copy !req
400. - How did little Timmy behave?
- As good as gold. And better.Copy !req
401. Somehow he gets thoughtful
sitting by himself so much,Copy !req
402. and he thinks the strangest things
you ever heard.Copy !req
403. He told me, coming home, that he hoped
the people sawed him in church,Copy !req
404. because he was a cripple...Copy !req
405. and it might make pleasant for them
to remember it upon Christmas DayCopy !req
406. who made lame beggars walk
and blind men see.Copy !req
407. I believe he grows more hearty
and stronger every day, my dear.Copy !req
408. The pudding looks delicious!Copy !req
409. The whole wash house smells
like a pastry cook's shop.Copy !req
410. Spirit, tell me, will Tiny Tim...?Copy !req
411. I see a vacant seat
in the poor chimney corner...Copy !req
412. and a crutch without an owner.Copy !req
413. Carefully preserved.Copy !req
414. - Hurrah!
- The Christmas goose!Copy !req
415. Make space.
Let's get that cover off.Copy !req
416. - Oh!
- Lovely! Well done, Peter.Copy !req
417. I don't believe I've ever seen
a more magnificent goose cooked.Copy !req
418. It is a beautiful bird, that's for sure.Copy !req
419. But I'll pray that
one Christmas, perhaps,Copy !req
420. the children might taste a turkey.Copy !req
421. Perhaps one day, my dear.
Perhaps one day.Copy !req
422. A toast.Copy !req
423. To Mr. Scrooge.Copy !req
424. - The founder of our feast.
- Ha!Copy !req
425. Founder of the feast, indeed.
I wish I had him here.Copy !req
426. I'd give him a piece of
my mind to feast upon,Copy !req
427. and I'd hope he'd have
a good appetite for it.Copy !req
428. My dear, the children...
It's Christmas Day.Copy !req
429. Christmas Day, I'm sure.
How can one drink the healthCopy !req
430. of such an odious, stingy, hard,
unfeeling man as Mr. Scrooge?Copy !req
431. As you know he is, Robert.
Nobody knows it better than you.Copy !req
432. My dear, Christmas Day.Copy !req
433. I'll drink his health for your sake
and the day's, not for his.Copy !req
434. A merry Christmas
and a happy New Year.Copy !req
435. He'll be very merry and very happy,
I have no doubt.Copy !req
436. A merry Christmas to us all,
my dears. God bless us.Copy !req
437. God bless us.Copy !req
438. - God bless us, everyone.Copy !req
439. - Merry Christmas and happy New Year.
- God bless.Copy !req
440. Kind spirit,
say Tiny Tim will be spared.Copy !req
441. If these shadows remain unalteredCopy !req
442. by the future... the child will die.Copy !req
443. Die! No, spirit. No.Copy !req
444. What then?
If he is to die, he had better do it.Copy !req
445. And decrease
the surplus population.Copy !req
446. - So you're thinking of an animal?
- [man 2] Yes.Copy !req
447. - A live animal?
- [man 2] Yes.Copy !req
448. - A rather disagreeable animal?
- Yes.Copy !req
449. - A savage animal?
- Yes.Copy !req
450. Wait, wait! Is it an animal
that grunts and growls?Copy !req
451. Yes!Copy !req
452. - And lives in London?
- Yes.Copy !req
453. - A horse?
- No.Copy !req
454. - A cow?
- No.Copy !req
455. - A dog?
- A pig?Copy !req
456. - No.
- An ass?Copy !req
457. - Yes and no.
- Oh!Copy !req
458. I know who it is, Fred!
I know! It's your Uncle Scrooge!Copy !req
459. - Yes!Copy !req
460. Christmas a humbug?
Now, he actually said that?Copy !req
461. As I live. And he believes it.Copy !req
462. I have no patience
with him, Fred.Copy !req
463. I have. I'm sorry for him.Copy !req
464. Who suffers from his ill whims?
Only himself.Copy !req
465. He decides to dislike us,
won't come and dine with us,Copy !req
466. and what's the consequence?
He loses a dinner.Copy !req
467. - Indeed, he loses a very good dinner.
- Hear, hear.Copy !req
468. - A magnificent dinner.
- Great.Copy !req
469. He's certainly given us
plenty of merriment, that's for sure,Copy !req
470. and I think it would be ungrateful
not to drink to his health.Copy !req
471. He wouldn't take it from me,
but he may have it nevertheless.Copy !req
472. A merry Christmas to the old man,
whatever he is. Uncle Scrooge.Copy !req
473. - To Uncle Scrooge.Copy !req
474. Are spirits' lives so short?Copy !req
475. My life upon this globe is very brief.Copy !req
476. It ends tonight.Copy !req
477. - Tonight?
- Tonight at midnight.Copy !req
478. Hark.
The time is drawing near.Copy !req
479. Forgive me... but I see something
strange protruding from your skirt.Copy !req
480. Is it a foot or a claw?Copy !req
481. It might be a claw, for the scant amount
of flesh there is upon it.Copy !req
482. - Look here.
- Naff off!Copy !req
483. Oh, man. Look here.Copy !req
484. You daft old geezer.Copy !req
485. - Look! Look!Copy !req
486. - Down here!Copy !req
487. - Go away!
- Are they yours?Copy !req
488. They are man's.Copy !req
489. - This boy is Ignorance.Copy !req
490. - This girl is Want.Copy !req
491. Beware them both.Copy !req
492. - Oh!Copy !req
493. Ah!Copy !req
494. - Ah!Copy !req
495. Have they no refuge? No resource?Copy !req
496. Are there no prisons?Copy !req
497. Are there no workhouses?Copy !req
498. Am I in the presence of
the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come?Copy !req
499. You're about to show me shadowsCopy !req
500. of the things that have not happened
but will happen. Is that so, spirit?Copy !req
501. Ghost of the Future, I fear you
more than any specter I have seen.Copy !req
502. But I know your purpose
is to do me good.Copy !req
503. I am prepared to bear you company.Copy !req
504. Lead on.Copy !req
505. The night is waning fast.
It's precious time to me.Copy !req
506. Lead on, spirit.Copy !req
507. - [man 1] When did he die?
- Last night, I believe.Copy !req
508. - Or sometime Christmas Day.
- [man 3] I thought he'd never die.Copy !req
509. - What's he done with his money?
- Hasn't left it to me.Copy !req
510. - That's all I know.Copy !req
511. It is likely to be a cheap funeral.Copy !req
512. For the life of me, I can't think
of anyone who'd want to attend it.Copy !req
513. I don't mind going...
if lunch is provided.Copy !req
514. - There, yes.Copy !req
515. [man 1] What a frightful fellow.Copy !req
516. - All right.
- Good day, gentlemen.Copy !req
517. Get ahold of yourself, Ebenezer.
You're having a wobbly.Copy !req
518. Whoo!Copy !req
519. Oh! Oh!Copy !req
520. You won't get me in here.Copy !req
521. Christmas pudding, no doubt.Copy !req
522. I'm... I'm on Lime Street.Copy !req
523. Oh, come now.Copy !req
524. Oh!Copy !req
525. Ah!Copy !req
526. Whoa!Copy !req
527. - Merry Christmas, Joe.Copy !req
528. And happy New Year,
to be sure. Come in.Copy !req
529. Sit down in me parlor
and let's have a look.Copy !req
530. Here.Copy !req
531. Whoa!Copy !req
532. What do you call these,
Mrs. Dilber, huh?Copy !req
533. Mrs. Dilber?Copy !req
534. Bed curtains.Copy !req
535. You mean to say you took them down
while he was lying there?Copy !req
536. I do.Copy !req
537. - And why not?Copy !req
538. You was born to make your fortune,
and you certainly will do it.Copy !req
539. Well,
I shan't hold back my handCopy !req
540. when I can get something by it...Copy !req
541. Don't you go getting grease
on them blankets now.Copy !req
542. - His blankets?
- Whose else do you think?Copy !req
543. He won't be feeling the cold
without them now, I dare say.Copy !req
544. I hope he didn't die
of anything catching.Copy !req
545. Don't you
be afeard of that.Copy !req
546. I ain't so fond of his company
that I'd loiter about.Copy !req
547. You can look through that shirt
till your eyes ache,Copy !req
548. and you won't find one hole in it.Copy !req
549. - It was the best he had.
- Mrs. Dilber!Copy !req
550. Would have been wasted,
only for me.Copy !req
551. - You're fired! Fired!
- How did you mean "wasted"?Copy !req
552. Somebody was fool enough
to put it on him to be buried in.Copy !req
553. - But I took it off him.Copy !req
554. This is the end of it, you see.Copy !req
555. He frightened everyone away
while he was alive.Copy !req
556. Only to profit us now that he's dead.Copy !req
557. If he'd had somebody to look after him
when he was struck with death,Copy !req
558. instead of lying there, all alone,
gasping out his last breath...Copy !req
559. well, we wouldn't have
these things to sell now, would we?Copy !req
560. - Hey!Copy !req
561. Whoa!Copy !req
562. Spirit! I see! I see!Copy !req
563. The case of this unhappy
man who dies a solitary, lonesome deathCopy !req
564. might be my own.Copy !req
565. My life
tends that way now.Copy !req
566. Merciful heavens! What's this?Copy !req
567. Spirit, this is a fearful place.Copy !req
568. When I leave it, I shall not leave
its lesson. Trust me. Let's go!Copy !req
569. I understand. And I would, if I could,
but I have not the power.Copy !req
570. Spirit, if there is any person who feels
emotion caused by this man's death,Copy !req
571. show that person to me, I beg you.Copy !req
572. - Are we ruined?
- There is hope yet.Copy !req
573. Hope? Only if he relents.Copy !req
574. He is past relenting.Copy !req
575. He is dead.Copy !req
576. Dead?Copy !req
577. To whom will our debts be transferred?Copy !req
578. I don't know, but by then
we'll have the money.Copy !req
579. And even if we don't, it's unlikely any
new creditor will ever be so merciless.Copy !req
580. We shall sleep tonight
with light hearts, my dear.Copy !req
581. Let me see some tenderness
connected to death,Copy !req
582. or this chamber will forever haunt me!Copy !req
583. It's late.Copy !req
584. Past your father's time.Copy !req
585. He's walked slow
these last few evenings.Copy !req
586. Oh, he has walked...Copy !req
587. with Tiny Tim on his shoulders...
fast, indeed.Copy !req
588. But he was very light...Copy !req
589. to carry, and...Copy !req
590. your father loved him so.Copy !req
591. - Father.
- You went today, then?Copy !req
592. Yes, my dear.Copy !req
593. I wish you could have gone.Copy !req
594. Would have done you good
to see how green a place it is.Copy !req
595. You'll see it often.Copy !req
596. And I promised him I would walk there
every... every Sunday.Copy !req
597. My little child!Copy !req
598. My little child.Copy !req
599. Father, please don't be grieved.
Please, Father.Copy !req
600. I'm all right, love.
I'm quite at peace.Copy !req
601. I'm sure none of us will
ever forget our poor Tiny Tim.Copy !req
602. - Oh, no, Father.
- Never ever.Copy !req
603. Thank you.Copy !req
604. Thank you, my dears.Copy !req
605. Bob.Copy !req
606. Specter... something tells me
our parting moment is at hand.Copy !req
607. Tell me...Copy !req
608. who... was that man
we saw lying dead?Copy !req
609. Spirit...Copy !req
610. before I draw nearer
to that stone to which you point,Copy !req
611. answer me one question!Copy !req
612. Are these the shadows
of things that will beCopy !req
613. or shadows of things that may be?Copy !req
614. Men's courses in life
foreshadow certain ends.Copy !req
615. But if these courses are departed from,
these ends will change. Isn't that so?Copy !req
616. - No. No!Copy !req
617. Am I that man who lay upon the bed?Copy !req
618. - No. Spirit, hear me!Copy !req
619. I'm not the man I was!Copy !req
620. Why show me this if I'm past all hope?Copy !req
621. Spirit!Copy !req
622. Spirit, assure me that I may change
these shadows you've shown me!Copy !req
623. Change them by an altered life!Copy !req
624. No, spirit! No! No, spirit!Copy !req
625. Good spirit... help me!Copy !req
626. Spirit!Copy !req
627. Help me, spirit!Copy !req
628. - Ah!Copy !req
629. Help, spirit!Copy !req
630. Spirit, I will honor Christmas in my
heart and try to keep it all the year.Copy !req
631. I will not shut out the lessons
of the past, nor present, nor future.Copy !req
632. Oh, please, spirit,Copy !req
633. tell me I may sponge away
the writing on that stone!Copy !req
634. Still here?Copy !req
635. They're still here.Copy !req
636. I'm still here.Copy !req
637. I'm still here.Copy !req
638. I'm still here!Copy !req
639. I don't know what to do.Copy !req
640. I'm light as a feather,
merry as a schoolboy.Copy !req
641. I've heard that laugh before.Copy !req
642. Ah!Copy !req
643. - I say, what's today?
- Eh?Copy !req
644. - What's today, my fine fellow?
- Today? Why, Christmas Day.Copy !req
645. It's Christmas Day?
I haven't missed it.Copy !req
646. The spirits have
done it all in one night.Copy !req
647. They can do anything they like.
Of course they can. Of course they can.Copy !req
648. Hello, my fine fellow. Do you know
the poulterer's on the corner?Copy !req
649. - I should hope I did.
- What an intelligent boy.Copy !req
650. Do you know whether they've sold
the prize turkey that was hanging there?Copy !req
651. Not the little prize turkey,
the big one.Copy !req
652. - The one as big as me?
- What a delightful child.Copy !req
653. - Yes, my buck.
- It's hanging there now.Copy !req
654. Is it? Go and buy it, then!Copy !req
655. - Walker!
- No, no, I'm in earnest.Copy !req
656. Go and buy it, bring it back here,
and I'll give you a shilling.Copy !req
657. Come back in less than five minutes,
and I'll give you a half a crown.Copy !req
658. I'll send it to Bob Cratchit's.
He shan't know who sent it.Copy !req
659. It's twice the size of Tiny Tim.Copy !req
660. Mrs. Dilber.Copy !req
661. Merry Christmas!Copy !req
662. Oh, my God!Copy !req
663. He's gone mad!Copy !req
664. Yay!Copy !req
665. My dear Mrs. Dilber,Copy !req
666. you're the loveliest creature
I have ever laid eyes upon.Copy !req
667. Dance with me, Mrs. Dilber.
Dance with me!Copy !req
668. You're barmy, Mr. Scrooge!
Unhand me!Copy !req
669. He's completely deranged! Help!Copy !req
670. - What a charming woman.
- Help!Copy !req
671. I shall love it as long as I live.Copy !req
672. What an honest face it has.Copy !req
673. Ooh!Copy !req
674. Hello. Here's the bird.Copy !req
675. Hello! Whoop!Copy !req
676. How are you? Merry Christmas.Copy !req
677. Why, it's impossible to carry that
to Camden Town. You must have a cab.Copy !req
678. Drive on, my good man!Copy !req
679. Hilly-ho! Chirrup!Copy !req
680. Yahoo!Copy !req
681. Hip, hip! Chirry-up!Copy !req
682. Bob's your uncle! Fanny's your aunt!Copy !req
683. Here's your aunt's fanny.Copy !req
684. Live it up, folks!
You'll be a long time dead!Copy !req
685. Don't let the worms have all the fun.Copy !req
686. Merry Christmas.Copy !req
687. Good morning, sir.
A merry Christmas to you.Copy !req
688. - And to you, sir.
- Happy holiday!Copy !req
689. And a merry Christmas to you.Copy !req
690. - "God bless you, sir."
- Thank you, sir.Copy !req
691. Glad tidings.Copy !req
692. Sir.Copy !req
693. My dear sir, how do you do?
I hope you succeeded yesterday.Copy !req
694. A merry Christmas to you, sir.Copy !req
695. Mr. Scrooge?Copy !req
696. Yes. That is my name, and I fear
it may not be pleasant to you.Copy !req
697. But allow me to ask your pardon.Copy !req
698. And will you have the goodness...Copy !req
699. Lord bless me!Copy !req
700. - My dear Mr. Scrooge, are you serious?
- And not a farthing less.Copy !req
701. A great many back payments
are included in it, I assure you.Copy !req
702. My dear sir, I don't know
what to say to such...Copy !req
703. Do not say anything.
I'm much obliged to you.Copy !req
704. Many thanks to you. And bless you.Copy !req
705. - Is your master at home?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
706. I'm... his uncle.Copy !req
707. Is it an animal
that grunts and growls?Copy !req
708. Yes.Copy !req
709. - [man 2] And lives in London?
- Yes.Copy !req
710. - [man 3] A horse?
- No.Copy !req
711. - A cow?
- No.Copy !req
712. A dog.Copy !req
713. - A pig.
- No.Copy !req
714. An ass.Copy !req
715. Yes and no.Copy !req
716. - I know what it is, Fred! I know!
- What?Copy !req
717. - It's your...Copy !req
718. Uncle Scrooge?Copy !req
719. Well, bless my soul.Copy !req
720. I've... come to dinner...Copy !req
721. if you'll have me.Copy !req
722. Of course, Uncle! Welcome! Welcome!Copy !req
723. Merry Christmas!
Everybody, this is my uncle, Ebenezer.Copy !req
724. Be good and pass this.Copy !req
725. Here you go. Enjoy.Copy !req
726. Next year we must have
this dinner at my house.Copy !req
727. I insist.Copy !req
728. I'll spare no expense. After all,
you can't take it with you, can you?Copy !req
729. - No, you can't.Copy !req
730. A full 16 minutes late.Copy !req
731. What do you mean by
coming here at this time of day?Copy !req
732. I'm very sorry, sir.
I am a bit behind in my time.Copy !req
733. You are, indeed.Copy !req
734. Step in here.Copy !req
735. Well, it's only once a year, sir.Copy !req
736. It shall not be repeated.
I was making rather merry yesterday.Copy !req
737. Now, I'll tell you what, Mr. Cratchit.Copy !req
738. I'm not going to stand
for this sort of thing any longer.Copy !req
739. And therefore...Copy !req
740. And therefore...Copy !req
741. I am about to raise your salary!Copy !req
742. A merry Christmas to you, Bob.Copy !req
743. A merrier Christmas, Bob,
my good fellow,Copy !req
744. than I've given you in many a year.Copy !req
745. I'll raise your salary, and do whatever
I can to help your struggling family.Copy !req
746. And we'll discuss your affairsCopy !req
747. this very afternoon
over a bowl of Christmas punch.Copy !req
748. But first, let's make up the fires.Copy !req
749. I want you to go out...Copy !req
750. and buy another scuttle of coalCopy !req
751. before you dot another "I,"
Bob Cratchit.Copy !req
752. Offwith you, Bob.Copy !req
753. We've wassailing to do.Copy !req
754. Hilly-ho, Bob!Copy !req
755. Yeah. Yes, sir. Right away, sir.Copy !req
756. And Scrooge was better than his word.Copy !req
757. He did all that he said he would
and more.Copy !req
758. And to our Tiny Tim, who got well,
Scrooge was like a second father.Copy !req
759. He became as good a friend,
as good a masterCopy !req
760. and as good a man
as the good old city ever knew.Copy !req
761. And it was always said of him
that he knew how to keep Christmas well.Copy !req
762. And so, as Tiny Tim observed...Copy !req
763. God bless us, everyone.Copy !req
