Get your Christmas turkey.Copy !req
12. Hey, get back in the box, Martin!Copy !req

15. Get 'em while they're fresh.Copy !req
16. - Christmas apples.
- We got Macintosh.Copy !req
17. - Christmas apples.

Drives the prices up.Copy !req
21. Rizzo...Copy !req
22. Hello. Welcome to
the Muppet Christmas Carol.Copy !req
23. I am here to tell the story.Copy !req
24. And I am here for the food.Copy !req
25. My name is Charles Dickens.Copy !req
26. And my name is Rizzo the Rat.Copy !req
27. Wait a second,
you're not Charles Dickens.Copy !req
28. I am, too.Copy !req
29. A blue furry Charles Dickens
who hangs out with a rat?Copy !req

32. A genius.Copy !req
33. You are too kind.Copy !req

35. Because I know the story of A Christmas
Carol like the back of my hand.Copy !req
36. - Prove it.
- All right.Copy !req
37. There's a little mole on my thumb.Copy !req
38. And a scar on my wrist
from when I fell off my bicycle...Copy !req
39. No, don't tell us your hand,
tell us the story.Copy !req
40. Oh, thank you. Yes.Copy !req
41. The Marleys were dead,
to begin with.Copy !req
42. The... Pardon me?Copy !req
43. That's how the story begins,Copy !req
44. "The Marleys were dead,
to begin with."Copy !req
45. As dead as a doornail.Copy !req
46. It's a good beginning.
It's creepy and kind of... spooky.Copy !req
47. - Thank you, Rizzo.
- You're welcome, Mr. Dickens.Copy !req
48. In life, the Marleys had been
business partnersCopy !req
49. with a shrewd moneylender
named Ebenezer Scrooge.Copy !req
50. You will meet him
as he comes around that corner.Copy !req
51. - Where?
- There.Copy !req
52. - When?
- Now.Copy !req
53. There he is,
Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge.Copy !req
54. Say, is it getting cold around here?Copy !req
55. When a cold wind blows,
it chills youCopy !req
56. Chills you to the boneCopy !req
57. But there's nothing in nature
that freezes your heartCopy !req
58. Like years of being aloneCopy !req
59. It paints you with indifferenceCopy !req
60. Like a lady paints with rougeCopy !req
61. And the worst of the worst,
the most hated and cursedCopy !req
62. Is the one that we call ScroogeCopy !req
63. - Unkind as any
- And the wrath of manyCopy !req
64. This is Ebenezer ScroogeCopy !req
65. There goes Mr. Humbug
There goes Mr. GrimCopy !req
66. If they gave a prize for being meanCopy !req
67. The winner would be himCopy !req
68. Old Scrooge, he loves his moneyCopy !req
69. 'Cause he thinks it gives him powerCopy !req
70. If he became a flavor
You can bet he would be sourCopy !req
71. Even the vegetables don't like him.Copy !req
72. There goes Mr. Skinflint
There goes Mr. GreedCopy !req
73. The undisputed master
of the underhanded deedCopy !req
74. He charges folks a fortuneCopy !req
75. For his dark and drafty housesCopy !req
76. Us poor folk live in miseryCopy !req
77. It's even worse for mousesCopy !req
78. Please, sir, I want some cheese.Copy !req
79. He must be so lonelyCopy !req
80. He must be so sadCopy !req
81. He goes to extremes
to convince us he's badCopy !req
82. He's really a victimCopy !req
83. Of fear and of prideCopy !req
84. Look close and there must be
a sweet man insideCopy !req
85. - Nah.
- Uh-uh.Copy !req
86. There goes Mr. OutrageCopy !req
87. There goes Mr. SneerCopy !req
88. He has no time for friends or funCopy !req
89. His anger makes that clearCopy !req
90. Don't ask him for a favor
'cause his nastiness increasesCopy !req
91. No crust of bread for those in needCopy !req
92. No cheeses for us "meeces"Copy !req
93. Scrooge liked the cold.Copy !req
94. He was hard and sharp as a flint.Copy !req
95. Secret and self-contained.Copy !req
96. As solitary as an oyster.Copy !req
97. There goes Mr. HeartlessCopy !req
98. There goes Mr. CruelCopy !req
99. He never gives
He only takesCopy !req
100. He lets his hunger ruleCopy !req
101. If being mean's a way of life
you practice and rehearseCopy !req
102. Then all that work is paying offCopy !req
103. 'Cause Scrooge is getting worseCopy !req
104. Every day, in every way
Scrooge is getting worseCopy !req
105. - Oh, boy.
- How the time flies.Copy !req
106. Look at this, I've got to move...Copy !req
107. Humbug.Copy !req
108. Phew! What an unpleasant fellow.Copy !req
109. He was a tightfisted hand
at the grindstone, Scroo...Copy !req
110. Boy, this really is a dirty city.Copy !req
111. Ha. You tellin' me.Copy !req
112. Thank you for making me
a part of this.Copy !req
113. He was a tightfisted hand
at the grindstone, Scrooge.Copy !req
114. A squeezing, wrenching,
grasping, clutching...Copy !req
115. covetous old sinner.Copy !req
116. Bob Cratchit?Copy !req
117. Yes, Mr. Scrooge?Copy !req
118. Who is this?Copy !req
119. Mr. Applegate, sir.Copy !req
120. He's here to speak to you
about his... mortgage.Copy !req
121. Mr. Scrooge,
I know you're very angry about this,Copy !req
122. and I didn't mean to
fall behind in the payment.Copy !req
123. Lord knows,
it being Christmas and all.Copy !req
124. Please don't shout at me, sir.Copy !req
125. That and, of course, little Gwen.
Her lungs aren't right.Copy !req
126. The doctor takes his share, don't he?Copy !req
127. You can yell and scream,
and you're right,Copy !req
128. but it won't do no good...Copy !req
129. because I'm the stone
you can't squeeze blood from.Copy !req
130. And that's the truth!Copy !req
131. Thank you for not shouting at me.Copy !req
132. 17... 42...Copy !req
133. Let us deal with the eviction notices
for tomorrow, Mr. Cratchit.Copy !req
134. Uh...Copy !req
135. Tomorrow's Christmas, sir.Copy !req
136. Very well, you may gift wrap them.Copy !req
137. Let us help you with that,
Mr. Cratchit.Copy !req
138. My, there are certainly a lot today.Copy !req
139. We'll get it.Copy !req
140. I'm okay, okay.Copy !req
141. - Here you go.
- Look out on that end...Copy !req
142. - Uh...
- Whoa!Copy !req
143. Christmas is a very busy time for us,
Mr. Cratchit.Copy !req
144. People preparing feasts, giving parties.Copy !req
145. Spending the mortgage money
on frivolities.Copy !req
146. One might say that December
is the foreclosure season.Copy !req
147. Harvest time for the moneylenders.Copy !req
148. - Boss, ask him.
- Tell him.Copy !req
149. - Come on. Come on.
- Do it now. Do it.Copy !req
150. If you please, Mr. Scrooge,
it's gotten colder.Copy !req
151. The bookkeeping staff would like to have
an extra shovel of coal for the fire.Copy !req
152. - We can't do the bookkeeping.
- Our pens are like ink-cicles.Copy !req
153. Our assets are frozen.Copy !req
154. How would the bookkeepers
like to be suddenly unemployed?Copy !req
155. Heat wave!Copy !req
156. This is my island in the sun!Copy !req
157. I, I believe you've convinced them
once again, Mr. Scrooge.Copy !req
158. At that moment,
who should arrive at the doorCopy !req
159. but Scrooge's nephew, Fred.
His only living relative.Copy !req
160. - Nephew Fred? I don't see him.
- Trust me.Copy !req
161. Hello? Uncle?Copy !req
162. Rizzo?Copy !req
163. You're very good at that, Mr. Dickens.Copy !req
164. A merry Christmas, Uncle Scrooge.
God save you.Copy !req
165. Merry Christmas?Copy !req
166. Bah. Humbug!Copy !req
167. Quick, it'll be warmer in there.Copy !req
168. Christmas a humbug, Uncle?
You don't mean that, surely.Copy !req
169. Actually, I think it's colder in here.Copy !req
170. Merry Christmas, you say?
What right have you to be merry?Copy !req
171. You're poor enough.Copy !req
172. And you to be dismal?
You're rich enough.Copy !req
173. He's got him.
The old boy's speechless.Copy !req
174. If I could work my will,Copy !req
175. every idiot who goes about with
"Merry Christmas" on his lipsCopy !req
176. would be cooked with his own turkeyCopy !req
177. and buried with a stake of holly
through his heart.Copy !req
178. Well, not quite speechless.Copy !req
179. - Uncle...
- Nephew.Copy !req
180. You keep Christmas in your own way,
and let me keep it in mine.Copy !req
181. Christmas is a loving,
honest and charitable time.Copy !req
182. And though it's never put
a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket,Copy !req
183. I believe Christmas has done me good
and will do me good,Copy !req
184. and I say, God bless it.Copy !req
185. And how does one celebrate Christmas
on the unemployment line?Copy !req
186. Now, in these times,
it was customary on Christmas EveCopy !req
187. for well-meaning gentlemen
to call upon businesses,Copy !req
188. collecting donations
for the poor and homeless.Copy !req
189. Mr. Scrooge, I presume?Copy !req
190. Who are you?Copy !req
191. We're from the Order of Victoria
Charity Foundation.Copy !req
192. We'd like to speak to you
about a donation.Copy !req
193. Ah! Welcome!Copy !req
194. This jolly old gentleman here
is Mr. Scrooge.Copy !req
195. He's very generous to charities.Copy !req
196. My dear nephew!Copy !req
197. At this festive season of the year,
Mr. Scrooge,Copy !req
198. many of us feel we must
take care of our poor and homeless.Copy !req
199. Are there no prisons?
No poor houses?Copy !req
200. Oh, plenty of those, sir.Copy !req
201. Oh. Excellent.Copy !req
202. For a moment, I was worried.Copy !req
203. Some of us are endeavoring to raise
a fund for the poor and homeless.Copy !req
204. What might I put you down for?Copy !req
205. Nothing.Copy !req
206. - You wish to remain anonymous?
- I wish to be left alone.Copy !req
207. I do not make merry myself
for Christmas.Copy !req
208. That certainly is true.Copy !req
209. I cannot afford
to make idle people merry.Copy !req
210. That is certainly not true.Copy !req
211. Don't you have other things to do
this afternoon?Copy !req
212. Sadly, I do, Uncle.
So I shall make my donation.Copy !req
213. And leave you to make yours.Copy !req
214. Thank you so very much.Copy !req
215. Oh, Uncle, come and have Christmas
dinner with me and Clara tomorrow.Copy !req
216. Why ever did you get married?Copy !req
217. Why? Because I fell in love.Copy !req
218. That's the only thing in the world
sillier than a merry Christmas.Copy !req
219. It's no use, I shall keep
my Christmas humor to the last.Copy !req
220. A merry Christmas to you.
And a happy New Year.Copy !req
221. - Merry Christmas, Fred.
- Merry Christmas, Bob.Copy !req
222. Humbug!Copy !req
223. Ahem.Copy !req
224. Now, then, sir, about the...Copy !req
225. donation.Copy !req
226. Well, now.Copy !req
227. Let's see.Copy !req
228. I know how to treat the poor.Copy !req
229. My taxes go to pay for the prisons
and the poorhouses.Copy !req
230. - The homeless must go there.
- But some would rather die.Copy !req
231. If they'd rather die,
then they'd better do it,Copy !req
232. and decrease the surplus population.Copy !req
233. Oh, dear. Oh, dear.Copy !req
234. This is the door, you may use it.Copy !req
235. All right, Beaker, come along.Copy !req
236. I think we've taken enough
of Mr. Scrooge's time.Copy !req
237. Oh, dear. Dear, dear.Copy !req
238. 17... 24... 58.Copy !req
239. Good King Wencelas looked out
on the Feast of StephenCopy !req
240. Though the snow lay round about,
deep and crisp and evenCopy !req
241. Brightly shone the moon
that... night,Copy !req
242. Though... the...Copy !req
243. - What do you want?
- Uh... Penny for the song, guvnor?Copy !req
244. Wh... Ow!Copy !req
245. 17... 24...Copy !req
246. Excuse me, Mr. Scrooge,
but it appears to be closing time.Copy !req
247. Very well. I'll see you
at eight tomorrow morning.Copy !req
248. Ask him, ask him.Copy !req
249. Um... Tomorrow's Christmas.Copy !req
250. 8:30, then.Copy !req
251. If you please, sir,Copy !req
252. half an hour off hardly seems customary
for Christmas Day.Copy !req
253. - No.
- Hardly customary.Copy !req
254. How much time off is customary,
Mr. Cratchit?Copy !req
255. Um... Why, um, the, er, whole day.Copy !req
256. - Yeah, that's right.
- The whole day.Copy !req
257. The entire day?Copy !req
258. - No.
- That's the frog's idea.Copy !req
259. If you please,
why open the office tomorrow?Copy !req
260. Other businesses will be closed.
You'll have no one to do business with.Copy !req
261. It'll waste a lot of expensive coal
for the fire.Copy !req
262. - That's definitely a point.
- That's a point.Copy !req
263. It's a poor excuse for picking
a man's pocket every December the 25th.Copy !req
264. But as I seem to be
the only person around who knows that...Copy !req
265. take the day off.Copy !req
266. Will you stop that?Copy !req
267. Thank you, Mr. Scrooge.Copy !req
268. Be here all the earlier
the next morning.Copy !req
269. - Okay.
- You bet. First thing.Copy !req
270. With their employer gone at last,Copy !req
271. Bob Cratchit and the bookkeepers
immediately beganCopy !req
272. that most pleasant of activities,
the celebration of Christmas.Copy !req
273. He's gone!Copy !req
274. Gentlemen, let's close up for Christmas.Copy !req
275. There's magic in the air this eveningCopy !req
276. Magic in the airCopy !req
277. The world is at her best, you knowCopy !req
278. When people love and careCopy !req
279. The promise of excitement
is one the night will keepCopy !req
280. After all, there's only
one more sleep till ChristmasCopy !req
281. The world has got a smileCopy !req
282. Today, the world has got a glowCopy !req
283. There's no such thing as strangersCopy !req
284. When a stranger says helloCopy !req
285. And everyone is familyCopy !req
286. We're having so much funCopy !req
287. After all, there's only one
more sleep till ChristmasCopy !req
288. Okay, ready. Here we go.Copy !req
289. That's it. Ha! Ha!Copy !req
290. Mm-hm.Copy !req
291. Very good, gentlemen.Copy !req
292. 'Tis the season to be jolly and joyousCopy !req
293. With a burst of pleasure,
we feel it arriveCopy !req
294. It's a season
when the saints can employ usCopy !req
295. To spread the news about peace
and to keep love aliveCopy !req
296. What's that?Copy !req
297. Look, it's the penguins'
Christmas skating party.Copy !req
298. - Hmm. Ah.
- Look at that!Copy !req
299. You did good, boss.Copy !req
300. Oh, thank you.
Thank you very much.Copy !req
301. Wow!Copy !req
302. - No way.
- Come on, Rizzo.Copy !req
303. Boy.Copy !req
304. Fun, huh?Copy !req
305. Merry Christmas, penguins.Copy !req
306. There's something in the wind todayCopy !req
307. That's good for everyoneCopy !req
308. Yes, faith is in our hearts todayCopy !req
309. We're shining like the sunCopy !req
310. And everyone can feel itCopy !req
311. The feeling's running deepCopy !req
312. After all, there's only
one more sleep till ChristmasCopy !req
313. After all, there's only one more sleepCopy !req
314. Till Christmas DayCopy !req
315. Merry Christmas!Copy !req
316. Scrooge lived in chambers
which had once belongedCopy !req
317. to his old business partners,
Jacob and Robert Marley.Copy !req
318. - Have some bread?
- Not while I'm working.Copy !req
319. Suit yourself.Copy !req
320. The building was a dismal heap of brick
on a dark street.Copy !req
321. Once again, you must remember
that the Marleys were deadCopy !req
322. - and decaying in their graves.
- Yeuch!Copy !req
323. That one thing
you must remember,Copy !req
324. or nothing that follows
will seem wondrous.Copy !req
325. Why are you whispering?Copy !req
326. - It's for dramatic emphasis.
- Oh.Copy !req
327. Shh.Copy !req
328. Jacob Marley?Copy !req
329. You okay?Copy !req
330. Humbug.Copy !req
331. Oh. Gonzo, speak to me.Copy !req
332. I mean, Mr. Dickens.
Charlie! Are you hurt?Copy !req
333. To say that Scrooge
was not startled would be untrue.Copy !req
334. Still, the moment had passed,
and the world was as it should be.Copy !req
335. He ain't hurt.
Didn't even break his concentration.Copy !req
336. - Hmm?
- Nothing.Copy !req
337. Come on, Rizzo.
We'll follow him in.Copy !req
338. In a minute.
I had a bag of jelly beans over here.Copy !req
339. Will you just get over here?Copy !req
340. - All right.
- Sheesh.Copy !req
341. Oh-oh.Copy !req
342. Steady, steady.Copy !req
343. Scrooge made his way up the stairs,Copy !req
344. caring not a button for the darkness.Copy !req
345. Darkness was cheap,
and Scrooge liked it.Copy !req
346. But the incident at the door
had made Scrooge wary.Copy !req
347. Before he shut himself in for the night,
he searched his rooms.Copy !req
348. - Okay, that does it.
- Pardon?Copy !req
349. How do you know
what Scrooge is doing?Copy !req
350. We're down here and he's up there.Copy !req
351. I keep telling you, storytellers
are omniscient. I know everything.Copy !req
352. Hoity-toity, Mr. Godlike Smarty-Pants.Copy !req
353. To conduct a proper search,
Scrooge was forced to light the lamps.Copy !req
354. How does he do that?Copy !req
355. Agh!Copy !req
356. Oh.Copy !req
357. It's my best dressing gown.Copy !req
358. No harm done.Copy !req
359. Look, it's Ebenezer Scrooge.Copy !req
360. Looking older and more wicked
than ever.Copy !req
361. I knew he wouldn't disappoint us.Copy !req
362. Who are you?Copy !req
363. In life, we were your partners,Copy !req
364. - Jacob...
- And Robert Marley.Copy !req
365. It looks like you.Copy !req
366. - But I don't believe it.
- Why do you doubt your senses?Copy !req
367. Because a little thing
can affect them.Copy !req
368. A slight disorder of the stomach
can make them cheat.Copy !req
369. You may be a bit of undigested beef.
A blob of mustard.Copy !req
370. A crumb of cheese.Copy !req
371. Yes, there's more of gravy
than of grave about you.Copy !req
372. More of gravy than of grave?Copy !req
373. What a terrible pun.
Where do you get those jokes?Copy !req
374. Leave comedy to the bears, Ebenezer.Copy !req
375. Please, Jacob, Robert,
don't criticize me.Copy !req
376. You always criticized me.Copy !req
377. We were always heckling you.Copy !req
378. It's good to be heckling again.Copy !req
379. It's good to be doing anything again.Copy !req
380. Why do you come to me?Copy !req
381. We're Marley and Marley
Avarice and greedCopy !req
382. We took advantage of the poor,
just ignored the need-yCopy !req
383. We specialized in causing pain,
spreading fear and doubtCopy !req
384. And if you could not pay the rent,
we simply threw you outCopy !req
385. There was the year
we evicted the entire orphanage.Copy !req
386. I remember the little tykes
all standing in the snowbank.Copy !req
387. With their little
frostbitten teddy bears.Copy !req
388. We're Marley and Marley
Our hearts were painted blackCopy !req
389. We should have known our evil deedsCopy !req
390. Would put us both in shack-lesCopy !req
391. Captive, bound, we're double-ironed,
exhausted by the weightCopy !req
392. As freedom comes from giving loveCopy !req
393. So prison comes with hateCopy !req
394. We're Marley and MarleyCopy !req
395. We're Marley and MarleyCopy !req
396. But my friends, you were not unfeeling
towards your fellow men.Copy !req
397. True, there was something
about mankind we loved.Copy !req
398. I think it was their money.Copy !req
399. Doomed, Scrooge
You're doomed for all timeCopy !req
400. Your future is a horror story
Written by your crimeCopy !req
401. Your chains are forged
by what you say and doCopy !req
402. So have your fun
When life is doneCopy !req
403. A nightmare waits for youCopy !req
404. Why these terrible chains?Copy !req
405. The chains.Copy !req
406. We forged these chains in life
by our acts of greed.Copy !req
407. You wear such a chain yourself.Copy !req
408. Humbug. Speak comfort to me, friends.Copy !req
409. Comfort!Copy !req
410. You will be haunted by three spirits.Copy !req
411. Haunted?
I've already had enough of that.Copy !req
412. Without these visits, you cannot hope
to avoid the path we tread.Copy !req
413. Expect the first ghost tonight,
when the bell tolls one.Copy !req
414. Can't I meet them all at once
and get it over with?Copy !req
415. When the bell tolls one!Copy !req
416. We're Marley and MarleyCopy !req
417. We're Marley and MarleyCopy !req
418. We're Marley and MarleyCopy !req
419. Change!Copy !req
420. And with that, the spirits of Scrooge's
partners vanished into the darkness,Copy !req
421. leaving him once again
alone in his room.Copy !req
422. That's scary stuff. Should we be worried
about the kids in the audience?Copy !req
423. No, it's all right. This is culture.Copy !req
424. Jelly bean? I had them
in my pocket all along.Copy !req
425. What?Copy !req
426. Humbug.Copy !req
427. Come on.Copy !req
428. But I really hate this.Copy !req
429. You wanted to know
what was happening.Copy !req
430. Scrooge's bedchamber
is on this side of the house. Jump.Copy !req
431. There's only two things
in this life I hate.Copy !req
432. Heights, and jumping from them.Copy !req
433. Too late now.
Come on, I'll catch you.Copy !req
434. God save my little broken body.Copy !req
435. Missed.Copy !req
436. Wait a second.
I forgot my jelly beans.Copy !req
437. Um...Copy !req
438. What?Copy !req
439. You can fit through those bars?Copy !req
440. Yeah.Copy !req
441. You are such an idiot.Copy !req
442. What, what? Hey, what?Copy !req
443. What?Copy !req
444. What?Copy !req
445. Oh, dear.Copy !req
446. Scrooge slipped into the empty silence
of a dreamless sleep.Copy !req
447. You know, a guy could break his tail
falling out of this tree.Copy !req
448. Want to see what's going on, don't you?Copy !req
449. - Yes.
- There's Scrooge's window.Copy !req
450. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
451. Expect the first ghost
when the bell tolls one!Copy !req
452. Wow! Ouch.Copy !req
453. Are you the spirit
whose coming was foretold to me?Copy !req
454. I am.Copy !req
455. But... you're just a child.Copy !req
456. I can remember nearly 1,900 years.Copy !req
457. I am the Ghost of Christmas Past.Copy !req
458. What business has brought you here?Copy !req
459. - Your welfare.
- Huh.Copy !req
460. A night's unbroken rest
might aid my welfare.Copy !req
461. Your salvation, then.Copy !req
462. Take heed. Come.Copy !req
463. I beg you, spirit, I am mortal.
I'm liable to fall.Copy !req
464. A touch of my hand, and you shall fly.Copy !req
465. - What are we doing?
- Nothing.Copy !req
466. - What?
- Just hold on.Copy !req
467. - Watch out, Rizzo.
- What? Oh!Copy !req
468. Whee!Copy !req
469. Hello, London!Copy !req
470. Goodbye, lunch!Copy !req
471. Spirit?Copy !req
472. Yes?Copy !req
473. Nothing.Copy !req
474. - Look, Rizzo.
- I don't want to look.Copy !req
475. Spirit? What is that light?Copy !req
476. It cannot be dawn.Copy !req
477. It is the past.Copy !req
478. Look, it's beautiful, Rizzo.Copy !req
479. Mommy!Copy !req
480. Hey, we're going down.Copy !req
481. Hang on, Rizzo.Copy !req
482. Sorry, madam.Copy !req
483. Pardon me, sir.Copy !req
484. Look out, Rizzo.Copy !req
485. Rizzo, this is Louise.Copy !req
486. Yeah, we've met.Copy !req
487. And so they arrived
in Ebenezer Scrooge's childhood.Copy !req
488. That was the worst trip of my life.Copy !req
489. It's over now.Copy !req
490. Yeah, safe at last.Copy !req
491. No.Copy !req
492. No. No! Oh, no!Copy !req
493. Nice kitty, nice kitty.Copy !req
494. Ow! I'm from New Jersey.Copy !req
495. It was the afternoon of Christmas Eve,Copy !req
496. and Scrooge was conscious
of a thousand odors.Copy !req
497. Each one connected with a thousand
thoughts, hopes, joys and cares,Copy !req
498. long, long forgotten.Copy !req
499. It's my old school.Copy !req
500. I was a boy here.Copy !req
501. That's Henry.Copy !req
502. And Edmund, my best friend.Copy !req
503. Hello, boys. Hello.Copy !req
504. These are but shadows
of your past, Ebenezer.Copy !req
505. They can neither see nor hear you.Copy !req
506. Come, let us go inside.Copy !req
507. Rizzo, stop playing with the cat.Copy !req
508. Save me, save me!Copy !req
509. And what a flood of memories
came back to him,Copy !req
510. as Scrooge beheld his old classroom.Copy !req
511. I know it all so well, spirit.Copy !req
512. The desks.Copy !req
513. The smell of the chalk.Copy !req
514. I chose my profession in this room.Copy !req
515. And is he, too, familiar?Copy !req
516. Scrooge beheld a small boy,
a boy he knew,Copy !req
517. oh, very well indeed.Copy !req
518. Good heavens.Copy !req
519. It's me.Copy !req
520. Come Ebenezer,
the last coach is leaving.Copy !req
521. Come on,
he never goes home for Christmas.Copy !req
522. Who cares about stupid old Christmas?Copy !req
523. I was often alone.Copy !req
524. More time for reading... and study.Copy !req
525. The Christmas holiday was a chance
to get some extra work done.Copy !req
526. A time for... solitude.Copy !req
527. Rats don't understand these things.Copy !req
528. You were never a lonely child?Copy !req
529. I had 1,274 brothers and sisters.Copy !req
530. Sheesh.
Rats don't understand these things.Copy !req
531. Let us see another Christmas
in this place.Copy !req
532. They were all very much the same.Copy !req
533. Nothing ever changed.Copy !req
534. You changed.Copy !req
535. The years performed
their terrible dance.Copy !req
536. And in a moment, Scrooge had seen
his entire childhood pass.Copy !req
537. He saw his old school room
age and decay.Copy !req
538. What the... Hey!Copy !req
539. Agh!Copy !req
540. So, Master Scrooge, graduation day!Copy !req
541. That's my old headmaster.Copy !req
542. This man taught me my greatest lesson.Copy !req
543. Stand up. Build your life
as this school was built.Copy !req
544. Push!Copy !req
545. My ear, my ear, my ear.Copy !req
546. Yes, work hard, work long,
and be constructive.Copy !req
547. Ebenezer, life is a golden opportunity.Copy !req
548. Today you go forth into the real world.Copy !req
549. You must keep your nose
to the grindstone.Copy !req
550. Work hard, lad. And one day,Copy !req
551. your life will be as solid
as this very building.Copy !req
552. Hmm. I've been meaning
to fix that shelf.Copy !req
553. Yes, headmaster.Copy !req
554. Young man, you have been apprenticed
to a fine company in London.Copy !req
555. Today, you become a man of business.Copy !req
556. I'm looking forward to it, headmaster.Copy !req
557. You will love business.Copy !req
558. It is the American way.Copy !req
559. Sam?Copy !req
560. Mmm?Copy !req
561. Oh. It is the British way.Copy !req
562. Good.Copy !req
563. Yes, headmaster.Copy !req
564. Oh, here is your coach, Ebenezer.Copy !req
565. Come, Scrooge, there is much to see.Copy !req
566. Remember, don't tip the driver.Copy !req
567. A moment later, Scrooge found himself
standing on a city street,Copy !req
568. looking at a building
he had not seen in years.Copy !req
569. Tell me, Ebenezer Scrooge,
do you know this place?Copy !req
570. Know it? My first job was here.Copy !req
571. This is Fozziwig's
old rubber chicken factory.Copy !req
572. Once again, it was Christmas Eve,Copy !req
573. night was falling, and the lamplighters
were plying their trade.Copy !req
574. Hey, light the lamp, not the rat.
Light the lamp, not the rat!Copy !req
575. - My apologies.
- What are you doing?Copy !req
576. Put me out, put me out!Copy !req
577. - Rizzo!
- What?Copy !req
578. Oh, oh, Th-th-th-thank you.Copy !req
579. You're welcome.Copy !req
580. There he is, old Fozziwig himself.Copy !req
581. Look my lads, dusk has fallen,
and the lamplighters are at work.Copy !req
582. It's Christmas Eve for certain.Copy !req
583. What an employer he was.Copy !req
584. As hard and as ruthless
as a rose petal.Copy !req
585. It's time for the party to begin.Copy !req
586. It's the Fozziwig Christmas party.Copy !req
587. Rizzo, come on.Copy !req
588. Rizzo, just grab hold of the stick.Copy !req
589. Merry Christmas.Copy !req
590. Thank you, thank you.Copy !req
591. Excuse me, everyone.
Can we have some quiet, please?Copy !req
592. Whoa!Copy !req
593. I suppose I should be grateful for that.Copy !req
594. You're welcome.Copy !req
595. Everyone, please,
can I have your attention for a moment?Copy !req
596. Look, it's the Marley brothers.Copy !req
597. My old partners, as they were as lads.Copy !req
598. Can I have your attention, please?Copy !req
599. Quiet!Copy !req
600. Thank you.Copy !req
601. That's better.Copy !req
602. Welcome to Fozziwig and Mom's
annual Christmas party.Copy !req
603. At this time in the proceedings,Copy !req
604. it is a tradition
for me to make a little speech.Copy !req
605. And it's a tradition for us
to take a little nap.Copy !req
606. Uh, pay no attention to them.Copy !req
607. My speech,
here is my Christmas speech.Copy !req
608. "Thank you all
and merry Christmas."Copy !req
609. - That was the speech?
- That was dumb.Copy !req
610. - It was obvious.
- It was pointless.Copy !req
611. It was short.Copy !req
612. I'm bored with speeches.
Let's dance, Son!Copy !req
613. Here's Mrs. Fozziwig to start the party.Copy !req
614. - Way to go, Ma!
- Hit it, boys!Copy !req
615. Hello.Copy !req
616. Look, there's a buffet over here.
I'm kind of hungry.Copy !req
617. Fa-la la-la la
La-la la laCopy !req
618. Forget it. Mother always taught me,
never eat singing food.Copy !req
619. A pleasure having you here.Copy !req
620. I'm very pleased,
and please enjoy yourself.Copy !req
621. Excuse me, Mr. Fozziwig?Copy !req
622. Sir, I've been going over the accounts.Copy !req
623. Do you know how much the firm
is spending for this party?Copy !req
624. Master Scrooge, this is Christmas.Copy !req
625. It's a time for generosity.Copy !req
626. Stop working, enjoy yourself.
Go meet some people, go ahead.Copy !req
627. Hello.Copy !req
628. You dancing fool!Copy !req
629. I love these annual Christmas parties.Copy !req
630. I love them so much,
I think we'll do it twice a year.Copy !req
631. Excuse me.Copy !req
632. - Master Scrooge.
- Excuse me.Copy !req
633. Belle, I'd like to introduce you
to Ebenezer Scrooge,Copy !req
634. the finest young financial mind
in the city.Copy !req
635. Ebenezer, this is Belle,Copy !req
636. a friend of the Fozziwig family.Copy !req
637. I'm pleased to meet you.Copy !req
638. Well, I'm glad you two finally met.Copy !req
639. Do you remember this meeting?Copy !req
640. Remember?Copy !req
641. Yes.Copy !req
642. I remember.Copy !req
643. There was, of course, another
Christmas Eve with this young woman,Copy !req
644. some years later.Copy !req
645. Oh, please,
do not show me that Christmas.Copy !req
646. Another year
before our wedding, Ebenezer.Copy !req
647. It can't be helped, Belle.Copy !req
648. How could we marry now? There's
not even enough for a decent home.Copy !req
649. The investments haven't grown
as they should.Copy !req
650. So you said last year.Copy !req
651. Business continues to be poor.Copy !req
652. You're a partner in your own firm now.Copy !req
653. Barely clearing expenses.Copy !req
654. - You said the partnership was the goal.
- This is for you.Copy !req
655. I love you, Belle.Copy !req
656. You did, once.Copy !req
657. Oh, Rizzo.Copy !req
658. Spirit, show me no more.Copy !req
659. Why do you delight in torturing me?Copy !req
660. I told you, these are the shadows
of the things that have been.Copy !req
661. That they are what they are,
do not blame me.Copy !req
662. Leave me.Copy !req
663. Scrooge was left alone and exhausted
in his bedchamber.Copy !req
664. And thus he remained, until the
nearby clock began to strike the hour.Copy !req
665. Oh.Copy !req
666. - Oh. Oh, what was that?
- Two o'clock.Copy !req
667. - Is it too early for breakfast?
- Yes.Copy !req
668. Oh, good, supper time.Copy !req
669. Scrooge knew
the second of the ghosts was due.Copy !req
670. Yet now,
as the clock finished striking...Copy !req
671. Nothing.Copy !req
672. Come in, and know me better, man.Copy !req
673. Come in, and know me better, man.Copy !req
674. - Did I already say that?
- You did.Copy !req
675. I am the Ghost of Christmas Present.Copy !req
676. This is the night before the dawn
before the day of Christmas.Copy !req
677. Did I tell you that I am
the Ghost of Christmas Present?Copy !req
678. - You did.
- Come in, know me better, man.Copy !req
679. You're a little absent-minded, spirit.Copy !req
680. No, I'm a large
absent-minded spirit.Copy !req
681. My mind is filled
with the here and now.Copy !req
682. And the now is Christmas.Copy !req
683. I don't believe I've
ever met anybody like you before, sir.Copy !req
684. Really? Over 1,800 of my brothers
have come before me.Copy !req
685. 1,800? Lmagine the grocery bills.Copy !req
686. Have you ever noticed that everything
seems wonderful at Christmas?Copy !req
687. Uh, in all honesty, spirit, no.Copy !req
688. Perhaps I've never understood
about Christmas.Copy !req
689. Before this day is done,
you will understand.Copy !req
690. Oh.Copy !req
691. Oh, no! Oh, no!Copy !req
692. We shall go out into the world.Copy !req
693. I suppose you enjoyed that?Copy !req
694. Of course.Copy !req
695. May I welcome you
to Christmas morning?Copy !req
696. It's in the singing
of a street corner choirCopy !req
697. It's going home
and getting warm by the fireCopy !req
698. It's true wherever you find loveCopy !req
699. It feels like ChristmasCopy !req
700. A cup of kindness
that we share with anotherCopy !req
701. A sweet reunion
with a friend or a brotherCopy !req
702. In all the places you find loveCopy !req
703. It feels like ChristmasCopy !req
704. It is the season of the heartCopy !req
705. A special time of caringCopy !req
706. The ways of love made clearCopy !req
707. And it is the season of the spiritCopy !req
708. The message if we hear itCopy !req
709. Is make it last all yearCopy !req
710. It's in the giving of a gift
to anotherCopy !req
711. A pair of mittens
that were made by your motherCopy !req
712. It's all the ways that we show loveCopy !req
713. That feel like ChristmasCopy !req
714. A part of childhood
we'll always rememberCopy !req
715. It is the summer
of the soul in DecemberCopy !req
716. Yes, when you do your best for loveCopy !req
717. It feels like ChristmasCopy !req
718. It is the season of the heartCopy !req
719. A special time of caringCopy !req
720. The ways of love made clearCopy !req
721. It is the season of the spiritCopy !req
722. The message, if we hear itCopy !req
723. Is make it last all yearCopy !req
724. It's in the singing
of a street corner choirCopy !req
725. It's going home
and getting warm by the fireCopy !req
726. It's true wherever you find loveCopy !req
727. It feels like ChristmasCopy !req
728. It's true wherever you find loveCopy !req
729. It feels like ChristmasCopy !req
730. It feels like ChristmasCopy !req
731. It feels like Christmas!Copy !req
732. It feels like ChristmasCopy !req
733. Spirit, I had no idea.Copy !req
734. I wish to see friends, kin.
Show me family.Copy !req
735. It's Fred. My dear nephew Fred
and his wife, Clara.Copy !req
736. Having Christmas with friends.Copy !req
737. Hey, look. Fruit.Copy !req
738. Well, now, we've had the plum pudding
and sung the carols.Copy !req
739. - What now, my lovelies?
- A game, Fred.Copy !req
740. Yeah, we must have a game at Christmas.Copy !req
741. - Do people play games at Christmas?
- I love games.Copy !req
742. Say, do you know that fruit is wax?Copy !req
743. Oh, yeah,
I wondered about the texture. Yeuch!Copy !req
744. - Let's play "Yes and No."
- Oh, wonderful game.Copy !req
745. Yah! That's a great game. I'll be it.Copy !req
746. Yes, let Fred be it.
He always thinks of good things.Copy !req
747. I do have a good one, Clara. Guess.Copy !req
748. Is it vegetable?Copy !req
749. - No.
- Mineral?Copy !req
750. - No.
- Animal, then?Copy !req
751. - What else?
- What else, indeed.Copy !req
752. - Is it found on a farm?
- Never.Copy !req
753. - In the city?
- Usually.Copy !req
754. Does it pull a hansom cab?Copy !req
755. Certainly not.Copy !req
756. How about a dog?Copy !req
757. No.Copy !req
758. - A cat?
- A cat?Copy !req
759. - I said it first.
- No.Copy !req
760. Wait, is this an unwanted creature?Copy !req
761. - Often.
- A mouse?Copy !req
762. - No.
- A rat?Copy !req
763. - You called?
- A cockroach.Copy !req
764. No.Copy !req
765. - A leech?
- It's too wonderful.Copy !req
766. Wait, I know.
An unwanted creature,Copy !req
767. but not a rat, a leech,
or a cockroach?Copy !req
768. Then what?Copy !req
769. - What?
- It's Ebenezer Scrooge.Copy !req
770. Yes.Copy !req
771. Wonderful.Copy !req
772. That's a killer.Copy !req
773. Come, there is much to see.Copy !req
774. No more. I wish to see no more.Copy !req
775. Here.Copy !req
776. Why have we come
to this odd corner of the town?Copy !req
777. It's Christmas here, too, you know.Copy !req
778. That's Bob Cratchit's house.Copy !req
779. Perhaps it was the spirit's
own generous nature,Copy !req
780. and his sympathy for all poor men,Copy !req
781. that led them straight to the home
of Scrooge's faithful clerk.Copy !req
782. Goose. They're cooking goose down there.Copy !req
783. Rizzo, get out of the way.Copy !req
784. Hey, don't be sweeping
the chimney now.Copy !req
785. You're blocking the smell.Copy !req
786. - This is Bob Cratchit's house?
- How do you know that?Copy !req
787. You just told me.Copy !req
788. Hmm. Well, I'm usually trustworthy.Copy !req
789. - Who's that?
- Mrs. Cratchit, of course.Copy !req
790. Ahh!Copy !req
791. Peter, do not stop turning that spit.Copy !req
792. That is the whole secret
of a properly roasted goose.Copy !req
793. - It smells so good, Mother.
- It does, doesn't it?Copy !req
794. Oh. That smells wonderful.Copy !req
795. Oh, good grief.Copy !req
796. Hey, I'm stuck, get me out of here.Copy !req
797. I knew you weren't suited
for literature.Copy !req
798. Oh, at least I landed
on something soft.Copy !req
799. And hot! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!Copy !req
800. Hot, hot, hot!Copy !req
801. Mother, Mother, Mother!Copy !req
802. You said we couldn't eat the chestnuts
until Father and Tiny Tim get home.Copy !req
803. I wasn't eating them,Copy !req
804. I was merely checking them
to see if they were not burnt.Copy !req
805. It's a chef's thing, dear.
And do not shout, Betina.Copy !req
806. - I'm Belinda.
- I'm Betina.Copy !req
807. Of course you are, Betina.Copy !req
808. Belinda.Copy !req
809. Whatever.Copy !req
810. Huh?Copy !req
811. 'Tis the season
to be jolly and joyous, fa la laCopy !req
812. With a burst of pleasure
we feel it arrive, fa la laCopy !req
813. It's a season when the saints
can employ us, fa la laCopy !req
814. To spread the news about
peace and to keep love aliveCopy !req
815. Come on, son.Copy !req
816. Let's go see if Christmas dinner
is ready yet.Copy !req
817. - Oh, yeah.
- Yes.Copy !req
818. Merry Christmas, everyone.Copy !req
819. Daddy!Copy !req
820. Merry Christmas, girls.Copy !req
821. - Merry Christmas, Peter.
- Merry Christmas.Copy !req
822. Children, children,
it's time to set the table.Copy !req
823. - Go ahead.
- Wait for me.Copy !req
824. - Merry Christmas, Emily.
- Merry Christmas...Copy !req
825. Crachy.Copy !req
826. Emmy.Copy !req
827. I fell down the chimney
and landed on a flaming hot goose.Copy !req
828. You have all the fun.Copy !req
829. What?Copy !req
830. Peter, the Christmas dinner.Copy !req
831. The goose, the goose.Copy !req
832. Oh, no, now, son,
you've gotten too excited.Copy !req
833. You go sit in your chair a moment.
Rest a moment.Copy !req
834. - How was he at church?
- As good as gold and better.Copy !req
835. He said he hoped the people
saw him in churchCopy !req
836. because it might be pleasant for them
to remember upon Christmas DayCopy !req
837. who made lame beggars walk
and blind men see.Copy !req
838. A remarkable child.Copy !req
839. With that,
the Cratchits came to what was surelyCopy !req
840. the happiest single moment
in all the livelong year.Copy !req
841. - Such a meager feast.
- But very much appreciated.Copy !req
842. I pay Bob such a small amount.Copy !req
843. - Mr. Scrooge.
- Bob.Copy !req
844. Bob Cratchit?Copy !req
845. It only seems right that
I should lift a glass to my employer.Copy !req
846. I give you Mr. Scrooge,
the founder of the feast.Copy !req
847. The founder of the feast, indeed. Huh!Copy !req
848. If I had him here, I would give him
a piece of my mind to feast upon.Copy !req
849. And I bet he would choke on it.Copy !req
850. - Choke!
- My dear, the children.Copy !req
851. Christmas Day.Copy !req
852. Well, I suppose that
on the blessed day of Christmas,Copy !req
853. one must drink to the health
of Mr. Scrooge,Copy !req
854. even though he is odious,
stingy, wicked,Copy !req
855. and unfeeling, and badly dressed...Copy !req
856. To the founder of the feast,
Mr. Scrooge.Copy !req
857. To Mr. Scrooge, he'll be very merry
and happy this day, I have no doubt.Copy !req
858. No doubt.Copy !req
859. Mm. Cheers.Copy !req
860. God bless us, every one.Copy !req
861. Life is full of sweet surprisesCopy !req
862. Every day's a giftCopy !req
863. The sun comes up
And I can feel itCopy !req
864. Lift my spiritCopy !req
865. Fills me up with laughter
Fills me up with songCopy !req
866. I look into the eyes of loveCopy !req
867. And know that I belongCopy !req
868. Bless us allCopy !req
869. Who gather hereCopy !req
870. The loving family I hold dearCopy !req
871. No place on EarthCopy !req
872. Compares with homeCopy !req
873. And every path will bring me
back from where I roamCopy !req
874. Bless us allCopy !req
875. That as we liveCopy !req
876. We always comfort and forgiveCopy !req
877. We have so muchCopy !req
878. That we can shareCopy !req
879. With those in need

880. Let us always love each otherCopy !req
881. Lead us to the lightCopy !req
882. Let us hear the voice of reasonCopy !req
883. Singing in the nightCopy !req
884. Let us run from angerCopy !req
885. And catch us when we fallCopy !req

We ask you, bless us allCopy !req
894. We reach for youCopy !req
895. And we stand tallCopy !req
896. And in our prayers and dreams,
we ask youCopy !req
897. Bless us allCopy !req
898. Let's all take our seats now.
Let's have dinner.Copy !req
899. Spirit, tell me if Tiny Tim will live.Copy !req
900. That is the future.Copy !req
901. My realm is the present.Copy !req
902. However, I see a vacant seat
by the chimney corner.Copy !req
903. And a crutch without an owner.Copy !req
904. If these shadows remain unaltered,
I believe the child will die.Copy !req
905. But then, if he's going to die,
he'd better do it,Copy !req
906. and decrease the surplus population.Copy !req
907. Oh, spirit.Copy !req
908. As the Cratchit family
vanished into the darkness,Copy !req
909. Scrooge kept his eyes upon Tiny Tim,
until the last.Copy !req
910. Come. My time grows short.Copy !req
911. Spirit, do you grow old?Copy !req
912. I do.Copy !req
913. Are spirits' lives so short?Copy !req
914. My time upon this globe is very brief.Copy !req
915. I believe it will end
upon the stroke of 12.Copy !req
916. One.Copy !req
917. Now? But spirit,
I have learned so much from you.Copy !req
918. Nothing Scrooge could do or say
could stopCopy !req
919. the relentless march
of those terrible bells.Copy !req
920. Five!Copy !req
921. Oh, spirit, do not leave me.Copy !req
922. I think I must, in fact.Copy !req
923. You have meant so much to me.
You have changed me.Copy !req
924. And now I leave you with
the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come.Copy !req
925. - You mean, the future?
- Mm.Copy !req
926. Must I?Copy !req
927. Go forth, and know him better, man.Copy !req
928. Am I in the presence of the
Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come?Copy !req
929. Spirit, I fear you more
than any specter I have yet met.Copy !req
930. This is too scary.
I don't think I want to see any more.Copy !req
931. When you're right, you're right.
You're on your own, folks.Copy !req
932. - We'll meet you at the finale.
- Yeah.Copy !req
933. I am prepared to follow and to learn,
with a thankful heart.Copy !req
934. Will you not speak to me?Copy !req
935. Oh, yes, the night is waning fast.Copy !req
936. Lead on, spirit.Copy !req
937. No, I don't know much about it,
either way.Copy !req
938. I only know he's dead.Copy !req
939. - When?
- Last night, I believe.Copy !req
940. Wonder what he died of.
I thought he'd never go.Copy !req
941. I don't know or care why he's gone.Copy !req
942. I'd just like to know
what he's done with his money.Copy !req
943. Wouldn't we all?Copy !req
944. He didn't give it to me.Copy !req
945. It's likely to be a cheap funeral.Copy !req
946. I don't know a single soul
who would go to it.Copy !req
947. - I wouldn't mind going.
- Eh?Copy !req
948. If lunch is provided.Copy !req
949. - Speaking of lunch...
- Oh, yes.Copy !req
950. I know some of those gentlemen, spirit.Copy !req
951. Of what poor wretch do they speak?Copy !req
952. So, back from the house of sadness,
I see.Copy !req
953. Sad that he didn't die years ago,
the old skinflint.Copy !req
954. - Hear, hear.
- Let me see.Copy !req
955. What have you got for old Joe?Copy !req
956. What have you got for me
to remember him by?Copy !req
957. Joe, get off.Copy !req
958. Well, I got these collar buttons
from his dresser.Copy !req
959. Mother of pearl.Copy !req
960. No, I got his bed curtains.Copy !req
961. Very fine damask.Copy !req
962. Very cheap damask.
But worth a few coins.Copy !req
963. I've got his blankets.Copy !req
964. His blankets?
Why, Mrs. Dilber, they're still warm.Copy !req
965. I don't pay extra for the warmth,
you know.Copy !req
966. You should.
It's the only warmth he ever had.Copy !req
967. I understand, spirit.Copy !req
968. The case of this unhappy man
might be my own.Copy !req
969. My life turns that way now.Copy !req
970. Merciful heavens.Copy !req
971. Let me see some tenderness
connected with this world,Copy !req
972. or I'll be haunted
by that terrible conversation forever.Copy !req
973. It's Bob Cratchit's house.Copy !req
974. Oh, yes, spirit.Copy !req
975. A place of joy and laughter.Copy !req
976. Thank you for bringing me here.Copy !req
977. It's so quiet.Copy !req
978. Why is it so quiet, spirit?Copy !req
979. Mother, you're crying again.Copy !req
980. It's just the lamplight,
that hurts my eyes.Copy !req
981. Not Tiny Tim?Copy !req
982. There, now.
My eyes get weak in the dim light.Copy !req
983. I would not want to show
weak eyes to your father,Copy !req
984. when he gets home,
for anything in the world.Copy !req
985. He should be back now.Copy !req
986. I think he's walked a little slower
these past two evenings.Copy !req
987. Hello, my dears.Copy !req
988. Daddy.Copy !req
989. Hello, girls.Copy !req
990. Hello, Peter.Copy !req
991. Children, please go set the table.Copy !req
992. Thank you.Copy !req
993. How was the churchyard?Copy !req
994. It will be lovely, Emily.Copy !req
995. It would have done you good
to see how green the place is.Copy !req
996. I picked a spot for Tim
where he can see...Copy !req
997. It's, it's a spot on the hill.Copy !req
998. You can see the ducks on the river.Copy !req
999. Tiny Tim...Copy !req
1000. Tiny Tim always loved
watching the ducks on the river.Copy !req
1001. Spirit, must there be a Christmas
that brings this awful scene?Copy !req
1002. How can we endure it?Copy !req
1003. It's all right, children.Copy !req
1004. Life is made up
of meetings and partings.Copy !req
1005. That is the way of it.Copy !req
1006. I am sure we shall never forget
Tiny Tim.Copy !req
1007. Or this first parting
that there was among us.Copy !req
1008. Must we return to this place?Copy !req
1009. There is something else
that I must know?Copy !req
1010. Is that not true?Copy !req
1011. Spirit, I know what I must ask.Copy !req
1012. I fear to, but I must.Copy !req
1013. Who was the wretched manCopy !req
1014. whose death brought
so much glee and happiness to others?Copy !req
1015. Answer me one more question.Copy !req
1016. Are these the shadows
of things that will be?Copy !req
1017. Or are they the shadows
of things that may be, only?Copy !req
1018. These events can be changed.Copy !req
1019. A life can be made right.Copy !req
1020. Ebenezer Scrooge.Copy !req
1021. Oh, please, spirit, no.Copy !req
1022. Hear me, I'm not the man I was.Copy !req
1023. Why would you show me this
if I was past all hope?Copy !req
1024. I will honor Christmas,
and try to keep it all the year.Copy !req
1025. I will live my life in the past,
the present, and the future.Copy !req
1026. I will not shut out the lessons
the spirits have taught me.Copy !req
1027. Tell me that I may sponge out
the writing on this stone.Copy !req
1028. Spirit, please speak to me.Copy !req
1029. I'm home.Copy !req
1030. Yes, the bedposts were his own.Copy !req
1031. The bed was his own.
The room was his own.Copy !req
1032. Hi, guys, we're back.Copy !req
1033. We promised we would be.Copy !req
1034. But the thing that made Scrooge
happiest of allCopy !req
1035. was that his life lay before him.Copy !req
1036. And it could be changed.Copy !req
1037. I will live my life in the past,
the present, and the future.Copy !req
1038. Oh, Jacob and Robert Marley.Copy !req
1039. Heaven in the Christmas time
be praised for this day.Copy !req
1040. I say it on my knees,
Jacob and Robert.Copy !req
1041. On my knees.Copy !req
1042. Oh, they're not torn down.
They're here.Copy !req
1043. And I'm here. It's a miracle.Copy !req
1044. I don't know what to do.
I'm as light as a feather.Copy !req
1045. I'm as happy as an angel,
I'm as merry as a schoolboy.Copy !req
1046. Do you think it's safe
for us to be up here?Copy !req
1047. Scrooge is saved,
what can happen now?Copy !req
1048. Yeah.Copy !req
1049. You there, boy.Copy !req
1050. What, me?Copy !req
1051. Uh, that is, "What, me, sir?"Copy !req
1052. - What's today?
- Pardon?Copy !req
1053. What's today, my fine fellow?Copy !req
1054. Today? Today is Christmas Day.Copy !req
1055. It's Christmas Day?Copy !req
1056. I haven't missed it.
The spirits did it all in one night.Copy !req
1057. They can do anything they like.
Of course they can.Copy !req
1058. - Of course they can.
- Of course they can.Copy !req
1059. Know the poultry shop nearby?Copy !req
1060. - Yes, sir, I do.
- An intelligent lad.Copy !req
1061. A remarkable lad.Copy !req
1062. Do you know whether the prize turkey
has been sold in the window?Copy !req
1063. The one twice as big as me?
It's still there.Copy !req
1064. It's a pleasure talking with you, lad.Copy !req
1065. - Go and buy it.
- Be serious.Copy !req
1066. I am serious. Buy it for me
and I'll give you a shilling.Copy !req
1067. No, I'll give you five shillings.Copy !req
1068. Wow!Copy !req
1069. And so the boy was off like a shot.
So even...Copy !req
1070. Um... Sorry.Copy !req
1071. I'll bring it to Bob Cratchit's house.Copy !req
1072. What a surprise it'll be.
It's twice the size of Tiny Tim.Copy !req
1073. And a few moments later,
dressed in his finest,Copy !req
1074. Scrooge appeared
on the streets of the cityCopy !req
1075. to wish Merry Christmas
to all the world.Copy !req
1076. - Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.Copy !req
1077. - Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.Copy !req
1078. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.Copy !req
1079. Gee, thanks.Copy !req
1080. Everyone was out and about
this fine morning.Copy !req
1081. And soon he encountered
two familiar faces.Copy !req
1082. Mr. Scrooge.Copy !req
1083. Pardon me, gentlemen,
but about the charity donationCopy !req
1084. you asked me for yesterday?Copy !req
1085. Put me down for...Copy !req
1086. That much?Copy !req
1087. Not a penny less.Copy !req
1088. A great many back payments
are included in it, I assure you.Copy !req
1089. My goodness,
I don't know what to say.Copy !req
1090. I just wish there was something
we could give you.Copy !req
1091. A gift?Copy !req
1092. A gift for me?Copy !req
1093. Thank you.Copy !req
1094. Thank you.Copy !req
1095. - 50 times! And a Merry Christmas.
- Here's your turkey, Mr. Scrooge.Copy !req
1096. Follow me, lad.Copy !req
1097. With a thankful heart,
with an endless joyCopy !req
1098. With a growing family

1100. Nephew and niece to meCopy !req
1101. Will bring love, hope,
and peace to meCopy !req
1102. Love, hope, and peace to meCopy !req
1103. Yes, and every night will endCopy !req
1104. And every day will startCopy !req
1105. With a grateful prayer
and a thankful heartCopy !req
1106. With an open smile
and with open doorsCopy !req
1107. I will bid you welcome
What is mine is yoursCopy !req
1108. With a glass raised
to toast your healthCopy !req
1109. With a glass raised
to toast your healthCopy !req
1110. And a promise to share the wealthCopy !req
1111. A promise to share the wealthCopy !req
1112. I will sail a friendly courseCopy !req
1113. Follow a friendly chartCopy !req
1114. On a sea of love
and a thankful heartCopy !req
1115. Life is like a journeyCopy !req
1116. Who knows when it ends?Copy !req
1117. Yes, and if you need to knowCopy !req
1118. The measure of a manCopy !req
1119. You simply count his friendsCopy !req
1120. Stop and look around youCopy !req
1121. The glory that you seeCopy !req
1122. Is born again each day

1123. How precious life can beCopy !req
1124. With a thankful heart
that is wide awakeCopy !req
1125. I do make this promise,

in a thankful heartCopy !req
1134. Bob Cratchit?Copy !req
1135. So, here you are.Copy !req
1136. M-M-M-Mr. Scrooge.Copy !req
1137. You, sir, were not at work this morning
as we had discussed.Copy !req
1138. But, Mr. Scrooge, sir,
we did discuss it.Copy !req
1139. It's Christmas Day.
You gave me the day off.Copy !req
1140. I?Copy !req
1141. I, Ebenezer Scrooge?Copy !req
1142. - Would I do a thing like that?
- No.Copy !req
1143. I mean, yes, but you did.Copy !req
1144. Bob Cratchit, I've had my fill of this.Copy !req
1145. And I have had my fill of you,
Mr. Scrooge.Copy !req
1146. And therefore, Bob Cratchit...Copy !req
1147. And therefore,
you can leave this house at once.Copy !req
1148. And therefore,
I'm about to raise your salary.Copy !req
1149. And I am about to raise you
right off the pavement...Copy !req
1150. - Pardon?
- Pardon?Copy !req
1151. Yes, Bob.Copy !req
1152. Raise your salary.Copy !req
1153. And pay your mortgage
on this house.Copy !req
1154. Please, sir, come inside.Copy !req
1155. Yes, yes.Copy !req
1156. Bob Cratchit, would you and your family
care to join usCopy !req
1157. for a little turkey dinner
on this fine Christmas Day?Copy !req
1158. Merry Christmas.Copy !req
1159. And Scrooge
was better than his word.Copy !req
1160. He did it all, and infinitely more.Copy !req
1161. And, er, Tiny Tim?Copy !req
1162. And Tiny Tim,Copy !req
1163. who did not die...Copy !req
1164. Isn't that swell?Copy !req
1165. To Tiny Tim,
Scrooge became a second father.Copy !req
1166. He became as good a friend,
as good a master,Copy !req
1167. and as good a man
as the good old city ever had.Copy !req
1168. It was always said of him that
he knew how to keep Christmas well,Copy !req
1169. if any man alive
possessed the knowledge.Copy !req
1170. May that truly be said of us
and all of us.Copy !req
1171. And so, as Tiny Tim observed...Copy !req
1172. - God bless us.
- God bless us.Copy !req
1173. Every one.Copy !req
1174. The love we foundCopy !req
1175. The love we foundCopy !req
1176. We carry with usCopy !req
1177. So we're never quite aloneCopy !req
1178. The love we foundCopy !req
1179. The love we foundCopy !req
1180. The sweetest dreamCopy !req
1181. That we have ever knownCopy !req
1182. Hey, say goodbye!Copy !req
1183. The love we foundCopy !req
1184. Goodbye, goodbye.Copy !req
1185. So we're never quite aloneCopy !req
1186. Nice story, Mr. Dickens.Copy !req
