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