Scrooge (1951) Edit

A chance and hope of my procuring, Ebenezer.

A chance and hope of my procuring, Ebenezer.

A Christmas present?

A doctor? Certainly not! Nor the undertaker! Ha!

A face of a wrenching, grasping, scraping, covetous old sinner.

A few of us are endeavoring to raise a fund to buy the poor some meat and drink

A fig for the beetle.

A fragment of an underdone potato.

A guinea?

A Merry Christmas to you.

A Merry Christmas, Ebenezer!

A Merry Christmas, Sir?

A Merry Christmas.

A Merry Merry Christmas.

A place where miners live, who labor in the bowels of the earth.

A slight disorder of the stomach makes them cheat.

A solitary boy, yourself Ebenezer, forgotten by his friends

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand;

Aaaaaaaaah!

Aaaah! ! Aaaaah! Come back, come back, Mrs. Dilbur!

Aaaah! ! Aaaah, aah, ahahh! ! ! ! Come back, come back!

Aaaah! ! Aaaah, aah, ahahh! ! ! ! Shhh, please, please, Mrs. Dilbur.

Aaaah... Eh?

Aaah! ! Merry Christmas, Mrs. Dilbur!

Aaah! Likewise! ...

After you, l'm sure.

Ah, Mr. Scrooge.

Alas, as a bachelor, l'm a wretched outcast,

Alice

Alice!?

Alice?

Alice.

Alice...

All chomping at the bit for Christmas to begin, eh?

All in the merry month of May,

All of it, Mr. Rosebed.

All of my own creation.

All right, all right! Who were you then?!

All these years?

All you would get out of it is about eleven pounds odd.

Always a lady, dear.

An ant is what it is, and a grasshopper is what it is,

An enchanting boy.

And a crutch without an owner, carefully preserved.

And a Happy New Year! ... as if you deserved it!

And a Happy New Year. Good Evening!

And a Merry Christmas

And a total asset of eleven pounds, eight shillings, and 10 pence.

And abundance rejoices.

And advancement he can't afford to offer you...

And all knowledge,

And all she said when there she came:

And also out of order, Mr. Scrooge!

And as good a man as the good old city ever knew.

And as your business prospered, Ebenezer Scrooge,

And be tortured for the rest of my life by a legion of hob goblins,

And Christmas, Sir, is a humbug, good day.

And decrease the surplus population.

And every Christmas, it's

And have lost their powers...forever.

And have not charity, l am nothing.

And he said, Yes, you should, and sent me in the carriage to bring you,

And it is at this time of the rolling year that l suffer most.

And it makes no difference that l'm poor?

And it was always said that he knew how to keep Christmas well,

And it would been, if l could of laid me hands on anything else.

And it's not fair.

And l do repent, l do repent!

And l wish the pleasure had been indefinitely postponed.

And l wouldn't show your father weak eyes, when he comes home, for the world.

And let me leave it alone then.

And looking every inch the grand fellow he is, in one of my own collars,

And many, many of them ... Aaaaaah!

And Master Peter, in particular.

And means of warmth.

And now he benefits us when he's dead.

And now let me introduce you to your fellow clerk. Mr. Marley!

And Scrooge's name was good on the London Exchange

And seek him in the hearts of men of good will.

And slowly she came nigh him,

And so, as tiny Tim observed,

And that if Mr. Scrooge wants to take his leave of him,

And that we must cease to grieve for him, and try to be happy, too.

And the goose'll be the finest goose. And ours'll be the finest Christmas.

And the little lame boy. Which one is he?

And the offer is a very large one, l have to admit,

And the other two aren't strangers, heh...

And the shadows of things that would be, can still be dispelled,

And the Treadmill and the Poor Law, they're still in full vigor, l presume?

And the union work houses, are they still in operation?

And then l ran all the way so's to be here in time.

And there's the door where Jacob Marley's ghost came through.

And there's the window where l saw the wandering spirit.

And they will be. l know they will be, l know.

And thinks the strangest things you ever heard.

And though l have all faith so that l can remove mountains,

And though l have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries

And to pack me off to Botany Bay,

And to tiny Tim, who lived and got well again,

And took his money, his house, and his few lean sticks of furniture?

And turned to happiness.

And we'll tell him you've been held up and who knows when you'll be here.

And what is your business here with me?

And what would you gain to prosecute me?

And why do you come to me?

And witness what it cannot share, but might have shared on earth

And won't even come to dinner with us. And what's the consequence?

And yard by yard. l girded it on of my own free will and of my own free will...

And yet, what does this party cost him in your mortal money?

And you are going to show me shadows of things that have

And you can look through that 'til your eyes ache

And you can work your way up as high as the dome in St. Paul's Cathedral,

And you won't find a hole in it.

And you're never to be lonely again. Never to be lonely again.

And you're never to come back here anymore,

And your marriage.

And, l'll l'll change! l'm not the man l was.

And, l'm sure, there are no old bones here like mine.

Another idol has replaced me in your heart. ...A golden idol.

Anyway, it's just as becoming to the body.

Are prepared to make good out of our own private resources,

Are there no prisons?

Are there no prisons? ... Are there no workhouses?

Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?

Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?

Are these the shadows of things that must be?

Are you in sympathy with Mr. Jorkin by any chance, Mr. Scrooge?

Are you off home to keep Christmas?

Are you quite yourself, Sir? What?

Are you the spirit who's coming was foretold to me?

Aren't you?

As a clerk in a new company?

As big as you and as fat as a beagle.

As good as gold and better.

As if calico ain't good enough for burying.

As it might be pleasant to them, being in church,

As long as l live, ...longer...forever and ever.

As we know the use of the word.

As your mother died, giving you life.

Ask me who l was.

At this festive season of the year, Mr. Scrooge,

Be off with you!

Because a little thing affects them.

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will l deliver him :

Because it is at Christmas time, that want is most keenly felt.

Because l fell in love.

Because l personally haven't very much faith in these newlywed housekeepers.

Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge,

Because, Sir, Christmas is in habit of keeping men from doing business.

Bed curtains? Uh huh, bed curtains.

Bed curtains.

Before l draw nearer to that stone, answer me one question.

Before we come here, l believe.

Behind the scullery door, quickly, Martha!

Believe me, l'm not the man l was!

Believe me! l'm not the man l was.

Believe me! l'm not the man l was.

Believe me. Believe me! l'm not the man l was!

Believe me. Believe me! l'm not the man l was!

Besides, it's not my business.

Beware of them both, but most of all, beware of this boy.

Bob's your uncle! Ha ha

Both of us?

Both very busy, Sir.

Bravo, Uncle Scrooge! Bravo!

Bring down, Master Scrooge's box.

Building up a business for?

Building up a business, Mr. Jorkin.

Business! ! ! Mankind was my business! Their common welfare was my business.

But be back all the earlier the next morning.

But even in my fear, l must tell you, l am too old!

But he seems to be walking a little slower than he used ...

But here it is, never the less, Uncle Scrooge!

But if the deeds be departed from, surely the ends will change!

But in all the days of the year.

But it shall not come nigh thee.

But it was only that you were a good man of business, Jacob.

But it's not just for money alone that one spends a lifetime

But l can't help it.

But l must be fed, ... or else l stay at home.

But l mustn't accept it.

But l see it not withstanding.

But l took it off of him, again.

But l'm not.... l'm not!

But look here...

But now l know that l don't know all the Christmas morning.

But now l know that l don't know anything!

But of course, they can do anything, can't they?

But she had a large heart. She had.

But then, he was very light to carry and his father loved him, so it was no trouble.

But they know me. Come.

But what did you feel when you signed the registrar at his burial

But why do you walk the earth?

But why? ... Why?

But you are.

But you don't keep it!

But you don't think me ill used, if l pay a day's wages for no work,

But you're still so young, you may have a change of heart one day.

But, l am not changed toward you!

But, Mr. Scrooge, it's Christmas!

By changing toward the world.

By his...surviving partner.

Can we hear the proposition?

Can you forgive a pig headed old fool

Can you sit down?

Can't take me wife to a debtors' prison.

Certainly, Mr. Groper.

Christ is born in Bethlehem!

Christ is born in Bethlehem.

Christmas Day, Christmas Day! Then l haven't missed it.

Christmas Eve or no Christmas Eve, the old Ogre.

Christmas has even less to do with it, my dear sir, than your wife has or l have.

Christmas.

Come along Tim, my dear, l've got to go.

Come and dine with us tomorrow.

Come and hear the pudding singing in the copper.

Come and see me one day anyway, young fellow.

Come back in less than five minutes and l'll give you half a crown!

Come back with the butcher and l'll give you a shilling.

Come in, come in, Ebenezer Scrooge.

Come in, come in! And know me better, man.

Come in! ... Come in!

Come into the parlor. Come into the parlor.

Come it's the nature of things that ants toil and grasshoppers

Come on everybody. Everybody!

Come on, what's in it?

Come, come Mr. Fezziwig,

Come. Touch my robe.

Control the cash box and you control the world.

Could boast two rounds of the best gin punch!

Could only be on Christmas day that l would drink the health

Cratchit! You're late.

Curfew shall not ring tonight, Mr. Snedrig.

Cut me throat, rip me liver, if l'm tellin' a lie.

Dear Mrs. Dilbur, oh... how much do l pay you?

Dennis, ... polka.

Did l ask you for more time to lend you the money?

Did you feel a little pity for him?

Did you have a lovely time looking at all the wonderful things?

Did you not cut yourself off from your fellow beings,

Do not blame me. Take me away!

Do you feel more rested now, my dear?

Do you know the butcher's in the next street but one?

Do you know, me darlin',

Do you see that toothpick?

Do you? Hmph!?

Don't be violent, Mr. Scrooge, Sir.

Ebenezer

Ebenezer, come in!

Ebenezer! Fan!

Ebenezer?

Ebenezer.

Ebenezer. Brother?

Eh, ...what does your wife got to do with it?

Eight shillings and 10 pence.

Even if l do this. Aaah! !

Even the most High, thy habitation;

Every Christmas you say the same thing.

Everyone's got a right to take care of themselves, he always did.

Excuse me, Mr. Scrooge. l'm busy!

Expect the first when the bell tolls One.

Fan you you you can't die. Fan, you mustn't die!

Fan, it's Ebenezer, your brother. Do you know me?

Fan...

Father is so much kinder than he used to be that home is like heaven.

Fifty one percent!? Never, never! Out of question!

For anything he chose to put his hand to.

For having no eyes to see with, no ears to hear with,

For He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

For love of Barb'ra Allen.

For me?

For our dearest mother's sake.

For sake of such a man as he was, l promise you Joe.

For that matter, what have l got to do with it? Good afternoon.

For the poor and destitute.

For which your father never forgave you, as if you were to blame.

For you, perhaps, but not for me.

Forgive me, Fan! Forgive me, Fan.

Forgive me, Fan. Forgive me.

Fred, is it too late to accept your invitation to dinner?

From now on,

From now to eternity, we, two, are as one.

Glory to the new born king!

Glory to the new born king!

Glory to the newborn King!

Glory to the newborn King! What place is this?

Go and redeem some younger, more promising creature, and

God and sinners reconciled.

God bless us, ... every one.

God bless us, ... every one.

God bless us. God bless us!

God Bless you, Alice,

Good evening.

Good heavens!

Good morning, Sir.

Good.

Good.

Good. But before l give the toast,

Goodbye.

Goodnight, Sir.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Can you, Mr. Scrooge?

Ha, well if it ain't, l don't know what is.

Ha! ... nothing.

Hark the Herald Angels Sing

Hark the herald angels sing,

Hark! The herald angels sing,

Hark! The herald angels sing,

Have l the pleasure of addressing Mr. Scrooge or Mr. Marley?

Have l, ... dear, distant, unmovable, Miss Flora?

Have you, Tupper?

Haven't all met here at the same time without meaning it!

He ain't likely to take cold without 'em, l daresay.

He became a second father. Uncle Scrooge!

He became as good a friend, as good a master,

He couldn't have looked uglier than what he did in this one.

He didn't die of anything catching, did he?

He didn't leave it to me, ... that's all l know.

He does not live in men's hearts only one day of the year,

He doesn't know me, nor even what l look like.

He frightened near everybody away from him when he was alive.

He said that Christmas was humbug, and he believed it, too.

He shall call upon me, and l will answer him :

He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings thou shalt trust:

He should nip along smartly or there won't be no Mr. Marley to take leave of

He spoke to me so gently one night when l was going to bed,

He told me,

He was telling me, you see, in his own little way, that he's happy.

He was the only friend you ever had.

He wasn't going to feel shy if people looked at him because he was a cripple,

He wished me luck, Sir.

He wouldn't let me wish it to him personally,

He'll be very happy and very merry, no doubt.

He'll come at Seven.

He's breathing very queer

He's coming mother! Father's here with tiny Tim!

He's growing strong and hearty though, Martha, my dear.

He's only cheated himself out of a highly indigestible dinner.

Hear me, Spirit, l'm not the man l was.

Hear me! My time is nearly gone.

Hello there! Hello you! You boy! You!

Hello, Joe. Huh.

Help me to sponge away the writing on the stone if l repent.

Her name was Barbara Allen.

Here, Martha. You hide,

Here's the punch, all steaming hot. Oh, good!

Here's your own stool by the fire all ready for you.

Hi, Joe. Hey.

Hi.

His eyes will pop right out of his head and he'll forget all about

His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Holy infant so tender and mild,

Home for good and all! Home forever and ever.

Home, home, home!

Home? Yes!

Horrid old Mr. Scrooge.

How could you have brought me here? Have you no mercy, no pity?

How did little Tim behave in church?

How foolish of you, of course not!

How is Mrs. Cratchit and all the small assorted Cratchits?

How lonely and deserted it looks.

How much of this is the company's capital?

Hu hu humbug!

Huh, Doh Doh's. Yes, l dare say we are.

Huh, huh, huh!

Huh, Huh!

Huh! ...a piece of cheese...

Hum...

Humbug!

I don't know what day of the month it is ...

If any man alive possessed the knowledge.

If ever l have a change of heart towards you,

If it ain't out of keepin' with the situation.

If it was in the middle of a heat wave on August bank holiday. Good afternoon.

If it's too hard a lesson for you to learn

If the chow lady, the laundress, and the undertaker

If you can find the grace to,

If you have a mind to do so.

If you wish to save the fair name of the company by accepting their generous offer,

Incessant torture and remorse.

Is left there still.

Is your heart still unmoved towards us, then?

It is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision

It'll be because my heart has ceased to beat.

Jacob Marley worked at your side for eighteen years.

Jacob Marley.

Join the triumph of the skies;

Join the triumphs of the skies,

Joyful all ye nations rise,

Joyful, all ye nations, rise,

Just a moment please.

Just as inconvenient as it was the Christmas before. Goodnight.

Just as late as he possibly can.

Just like you said.

Just shut the door of the shop. Oh! How it screeks!

Just that l'd like to have a word with my own clerk, Bob Cratchit, just now.

Keep Christmas in your own way and leave me to keep it in mine.

Kind Spirit, ...

Knock off half a crown.

L l can't pay you, Sir.

L accept your ring.

L also beat my wife and skewer innocent babies when in my cups.

L always give too much to a lady, it's a weakness of mine.

L always know.

L am in the presence of the Spirit of Christmas yet to come.

L am not in the habit of keeping Christmas, Sir.

L am not mad.

L am the Ghost of Christmas Past.

L am the Spirit of Christmas Present. Look upon me.

L am.

L ask nothing of you.

L await you.

L bring you nothing but repentance and regret.

L but l l am a mortal and... l'm liable to fall.

L came here in the spirit of bright good will and l won't let you dampen it.

L can.

L can't bear to let them tease you.

L cannot change. l can't.

L certainly won't hold back my hand when l can get something in it

L come tonight to warn you that you have yet a chance and hope of escaping my fate.

L confess, l've had my doubts about the quantity of flour.

L couldn't feel angry with him, if l tried.

L declare l'd like to know how many families of our acquaintance

L do, bless your dear gentle heart.

L do.

L don't conduct my affairs in the teeth of inclement weather.

L don't know anything. l never did know anything.

L don't know anything. l never did know anything.

L don't know how long l've been amongst the spirits, l ...

L don't know what to do!

L don't know, l just think it.

L don't know. How can l promise?

L don't know. No, l don't think so.

L don't mind going,... if the lunch were provided.

L don't think you quite understand us, Sir.

L don't.

L felt his hand slip in mine, as if he was standing beside me and comforting me.

L felt very peaceful, my dear.

L give you Mr. Scrooge,

L have a piece of momentous information for all,

L have to be loyal to the old ways and die out with them, if needs must.

L have waited for this great moment,

L helped to support the establishments l have mentioned.

L hope not! What!?

L hope you'll find Mr. Marley well, Sir. l should think that's highly unlikely.

L just can't help it.

L know that men's deeds foreshadow certain ends,

L know those men.

L know.

L love you because you're poor, not proud and foolish.

L must ask you to speak for yourself, Mr. Jorkin!

L must bow to your conviction that you are.

L must stand on my head. l must stand on my head!

L never thought there was anyone like you

L only know he's dead. When did he die?

L ought to be there this time of day.

L see a vacant seat in the poor chimney corner,

L shall go when the office is closed. At seven o'clock.

L shall have to insist you all stop and watch mine,

L should hope so.

L suppose you better have the whole day.

L suppose you will want the whole day off tomorrow, as usual.

L suspect ol' Mr. Scooge will keep him working in that cold little room

L think l know who sent it. Who??

L think we have many things in common, Mr. Scrooge.

L told you so.

L want to try to help you to raise that family of yours.

L was a boy here.

L was afraid that something had happened to stop them in their useful course.

L was apprenticed here.

L was making rather merry yesterday, Sir.

L wasn't too fond of his company

L wear the chain l forged in life, l made it link by link

L went to see the place where he will rest.

L will be with him in trouble; l will deliver him, and honor him.

L will indeed, Sir! Thank you, Sir! lt's more than generous of you, Sir.

L will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

L wish it was a little heavier one.

L wish l could say they were not.

L wish l had him here now, l'd give him a piece of my mind to feast himself upon.

L wish to be left alone.

L won't look! You shall.

L wore it.

L'd loiter about him for such things, if he did.

L'll come in a minute. All right.

L'll drink his health for your sake and the days, ... not for his.

L'll give you one guess.

L'll have another look, if you'd like? No, don't bother.

L'll make good, the wrongs l've done my fellow man.

L'll retire to bedlam.

L'll see for myself.

L'll send it to Bob Cratchit!

L'll try and get Mr. Marley to hold out 'til then, l'm sure.

L'm a little late, my dear. Please forgive me.

L'm as ... merry as a school boy!

L'm as giddy... as a drunken man, l never...

L'm as happy as a ... l'm as happy as an angel!

L'm as light as a feather! Ha ha ha...

L'm coming.

L'm here!

L'm in earnest.

L'm not surprised.

L'm not the man l was!

L'm not the man l was!

L'm sure of it. And the pudding! Oh, the pudding!

L'm sure we shall Mr. Jorkin, Sir.

L'm sure you two gentlemen will get along famously.

L'm sure you were.

L'm to say ...

L'm too old! l'm beyond hope!

L'm very glad to hear it.

L'm very sorry, Sir.

L've come to them.

L've just come from Mr. Marley's with a message for Mr. Scrooge.

L've seen enough! Yet more awaits you.

Label, label, label, label, label. Label, label!

Label.

Last night, l believe.

Last rights and all that, hmm?

Lead me, then.

Leave me to keep Christmas in my own way.

Left in the whole wide world.

Left it to his company, where else?

Let's go in the parlor.

Lf he be like to die, he better do it and decrease the surplus population.

Lf he had been, he'd have had somebody with him when he was struck with death.

Lf he wanted to keep 'em after he was dead,

Lf it goes not forth in life it is condemned to do so after death.

Lf l stopped you half a crown for it, you'd think yourself ill used,

Lf quite convenient, Sir?

Lf quite convenient, Sir? lt's not convenient!

Lf these shadows remain unaltered by the Future,

Lf they would rather die, they'd better do it

Lf you ask for another penny

Lf you had never made that promise, tell me...

Lf you were free today, would you choose a direless girl with

Lf you'll let me.

Lf your father was here, he'd carry you home on his shoulder.

Ln fact, he died seven years ago this very day.

Ln life, l was your partner,

Ln life, my spirit never roved beyond the limits of our money changing hole.

Ln return,

Ln Scarlet Town where l was born,

Ln short gentleman,

Ln short, Sir, you're not only a bankrupt,

Ln that case, ...

Ln that case, never mind. l think l'd rather not.

Ln the way you have changed. But how have l changed towards you?

Ln words? ... Never. Well, in what then?

Lnstead of lying, gasping out his last air alone be himself.

Lntelligent boy, remarkable boy.

Long life to him. A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Long past? No, your past.

Look at the way he's taken it in his head to disown us without a shilling,

Look at your face, Ebenezer.

Look there's Old Fezziwig and Mrs. Fezziwig, top couple!

Look to see me... no more.

Look, Mrs. Dilbur!

Look! There's my old school.

Ls he dead yet?

Ls he dead?

Ls it such a terrible thing for a man to struggle for something better than he is?

Ls it?! Very well then, go and buy it.

Ls that so much that he deserves your praise?

Ls the pudding still singing in the copper, Peter?

Lsn't he, my love?

Lsn't it, Sir?

Lsn't that Old Fezziwig?

Lt is a ponderous chain. Mark me!

Lt is doomed to wander through the world! Aaaaaah! Woe is me! ! !

Lt is enough for a man to understand his own business

Lt is not that l am impenitent; it's just that l

Lt is now a quarter to five.

Lt is required of every man

Lt makes them weak, by candlelight.

Lt must be near his time. Past it, rather.

Lt never would have been Christmas, if they'd kept you late.

Lt shant be easy 'til it's eaten.

Lt was a wonderful dinner! Yes, it was a wonderful dinner.

Lt was as great as if it had... as if it had cost a fortune.

Lt was full, as heavy and as long as this,

Lt was made when we were both poor and content to be so.

Lt was. Oh, well...

Lt'll be a perfect pudding my love. A perfect pudding.

Lt'll be the finest pudding in the whole of London this Christmas,

Lt's about Mr. Marley, he's dying, Sir.

Lt's all humbug, l tell you!

Lt's certainly done me no harm.

Lt's Fan!

Lt's forthwith raised to 10!

Lt's no sin. Open the bundle, Joe.

Lt's Old Fezziwig's!

Lt's only a shilling ring, Alice, but one day, it'll be a gold one.

Lt's only once a year, Sir. lt won't be repeated.

Lt's poetic justice.

Lt's right! lt's true! lt all happened! Oh l ...

Lt's singular.

Lt's the best one he had, and a fine one, too.

Lt's the biggest goose you ever did see.

Lt's the family more than me, Sir.

Lt's to preserve a way of life that one knew and loved.

Lt's twice the size of tiny Tim!

Lt's very polite of you, l do grant, l'm sure.

Lt's you, is it?

Ma ma must have looked just as you look now, just before she died.

Made every youth cry Well a day,

Man of the worldly mind, do you believe in me or not?

Many can't go there.

Master Peter, now grown to full estate and dignity as son of the house,

Master Peter?

May that be truly said of us, and all of us.

May we hear those figures, Mr. Snedrig? At your pleasure.

May you be happy in the life you have chosen.

Meanwhile, you just go and put some coal on that fire.

Mercy! ...mercy, mercy!

Merry Christmas, Mr. Scrooge! ln keeping with the situation!

Merry Christmas, Sir!

Might leave an open question, l'd regret me liberality.

Mine occupies me constantly. Good afternoon, gentlemen.

Misdemeanors to be made public.

More bread.

Mortal!

Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge, the new clerk.

Mr. Jacob Marley, our wizard of the accounts.

Mr. Jorkin doesn't exaggerate the imprudence of allowing his ...

Mr. Marley and l have a proposition to make to the representatives

Mr. Marley and myself

Mr. Marley has been dead these seven years.

Mr. Robert Cratchit, 2 Porter Street, Camden Town.

Mr. Scrooge, Sir. Who are you?

Mr. Scrooge.

Much good it has ever done you.

Much good may it do you to keep it.

Much obliged. Good night to ya.

Much.

My dear, Christmas day.

My dear, the children ... Christmas Day!

My marriage was the making of me.

My time with you, Ebenezer, is almost done.

My usual place is over there, under the clock.

My welfare? Your reclamation then.

Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Neither to borrow money or beg a mortgage, Uncle.

Never, as long as l live!

Never.

No hard feelings, eh? Starting with a clean slate?

No more bread. no, Sir.

No more. l cannot bear it.

No Spirit, no, no, no!

No trouble.

No, indeed! No, we hope not!

No, l can't see my way to selling out to the new vested interest, Mr. Jorkin.

No, l don't know much about it either way.

No, l think the world is becoming a very hard and cruel place, Mr. Marley.

No, let the laundress go first. No, no, dear, you was here first.

No, no ... it's only the color. lt hurts my eyes.

No, no, l'll go first. Just to show we all got trust in one another.

No, no, no, Mrs. Dilbur. lt's for a Christmas present.

No, no, no, take your turn, one and all, if you please.

No, no, no, wait a minute! Wait a minute!

No, Spirit, not here. Yes, ...here.

No, your wayward nature has done that.

No,... no,... no, no, no,... no.

No?

No.

No.

No... thank you.

Nobody else ever cared for me. Nobody else ever will.

Nobody's perfect.

None other of my way shall find him there.

None! No one!

Nor teach the leopard to change its spots.

Not a bit, Ma ma!

Not a dead man, l suppose. No indeed.

Not be crushed under with the weak and the infirm.

Not coming? Not coming on Christmas day?

Not if l was boiled for life for not doing it.

Not quite deserted.

Not the little turkey, the big one?

Not unless you give me more time.

Not yet happened, but will happen?

Not, l confess, with his methods.

Now l am doomed to wander without rest or peace...

Now let me see, l must have a label.

Now off you go and enjoy yourself. Like a good girl.

Now open my bundle, Joe.

Now see yourself in business, Ebenezer.

Now that we're all so open and above with each other.

Now, has everybody got his drink? Yes! Yes!

Now, you really are quite incorrigible, Mr. Tupper.

Of a liability of three thousand two hundred pounds,

Of course, for you!

Of course, l would.

Of course, they can!

Of such a hard, stingy, unfeeling man as Mr. Scrooge.

Of the company which might solve some of the difficulties

Oh ...

Oh dear, oh dear, whatever made you think it might be him?

Oh look, Old Joe, it's a chance, ...

Oh no, Father! He doesn't deserve it!

Oh Tim, ... my Tiny Tim.

Oh yes, Sir, all very eager.

Oh yes, You owe me a little matter of twenty odd pounds, l believe.

Oh, because l'm not rich enough for you?

Oh, but gentlemen it could have been any one of you.

Oh, but it's not that!

Oh, dear brother, l have come to bring you home.

Oh, dear brother, what nonsense! Everyone loves you very much.

Oh, dearest Alice,

Oh, don't you be afraid of it!

Oh, excuse me, Mr. Fezziwig, Sir?

Oh, excuse me, Mr. Scrooge, Sir. Yes?

Oh, Fan... There, there.

Oh, from what you said at first

Oh, l don't deserve to be so happy.

Oh, l haven't taken leave of my senses, Bob.

Oh, no, no.

Oh, no, Sir!

Oh, no!... No!

Oh, oh Jacob.

Oh, pity me, Spirit, pity me! And help me!

Oh, she's not coming.

Oh, so you hate progress and money too, do you?

Oh, that's true enough, no one more so.

Oh, the bells, the merry merry bells!

Oh, was there ever a kinder man?

Oh, what a beautiful morning.

Oh, wouldn't it be better if l just went home to bed?

Oh!

Oh?

Oh.

Oh...

Old Fezziwig can afford to pay you?

Old Marley was as dead as a doornail.

One child. True, your nephew.

One must steel oneself to survive it.

One shadow more. No!

Only there, there isn't going to be any need.

Only to wish you a Merry Christmas!

Or are they only shadows of things that might be?

Or better, if it comes to that.

Or do l. l hate him! Oh, l forbid it! l'm sorry for him.

Order, order!

Our promise is an old one.

Ours is a highly competitive profession, Sir.

Over a bowl of hot punch, hmm?

Panic, Sir? Yes, panic.

Pardon me...

Pardon the liberty, but do you know if l'm to be kept on here, Sir?

Pawn my soul, l can't think of anyone who'll go to it.

Peace on earth and mercy mild,

Perhaps that is what has changed his mind towards you.

Poor Robert, Oh Robert, ... poor Robert.

Professes to condemn the pursuit of wealth in the same breath.

Promise me you'll take care my...

Promise me...

Promise me... you'll take care of my boy.

Promise you what, Fan? l'll promise you anything, dearest.

Quite beyond hope.

Recall it! Why bless my soul!

Reprieved, reprieved!

Result... bankruptcy all around.

Rings and all, and, ... him lying there?

Sage and onions, my dear fellow! Ha! Gammon and spinach.

Same as l hardly know you now that you're quite a woman.

Same to you, Sir. Well thank you, thank you, thank you.

Samuel Wilkins, Sir.

Save ... yourself.

Save myself from what? Hmm?

Say that he will be spared. Why?

Scrooge was better than his word.

Scrooge.

Scrooge.

Scrooge.

Seems odd to think of the place without him, Sir.

Seven Christmas Eve's ago and you have labored on it since.

Shall l be Spokesman?

Shall l stop reading?

She didn't borrow the twenty pounds, you did.

She died ... giving him life.

She died a married woman and had, l think, children.

She is not changed by the harshness of the world.

Show me no more. But l told you.

Since you ask me what l wish, Sir, that is my answer.

Sing and play, Mr. Scrooge.

Sir.

Sit you down before the fire,

Sleep in heavenly peace.

So a Merry Christmas to you any way, Uncle.

So did he, l daresay.

So do Mr. Scrooge and Mr. Marley.

So have l ... Often.

So have l. So have l.

So is it true of the child born in Bethlehem.

So slowly, slowly she came up,

So, ...

Some of them, of necessity, will be violent. Do you agree?

Something, l think. No, no, no, no...

Sometimes he gets thoughtful sitting by himself so much

Sometimes he gets thoughtful sitting by himself so much

Somewhat.

Spirit of the Future, l fear you more than any other specter that l've seen.

Spirit, ... tell me... will tiny Tim live?

Spirit, are these people real or are they shadows?

Spirit, are these yours?

Step this way, Mr. Cratchit, please.

Strange.

Strike that speech out of the minutes! Yes, Sir.

Sugar tongs, boots assorted, four.

Take a very cool attitude, if l may say so, Sir.

Take heed, rise, and walk with me.

Take me extra, Sir.

Talking about a Merry Christmas. Ha ha.

Tell me it is so with what you show me now.

Tell me l'm not already dead.

Tell me l'm not already dead. Tell me l'm not already dead!

Tell me, ... what day is it?

Tell me, have they sold the prize turkey that was hanging there?

Tell the butcher to bring it here, and l'll give him the name of

Thank you, Jacob.

Thank you, Sir, and a Merry Christmas to you, Sir, l'm sure.

Thank you, the same to you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. l shall be.

That if this juicy little scandal leaked out now

That is why ... l released you.

That l never did think l'd get away.

That l wasn't afraid to ask him, just once more, that you might come home.

That Mr. Marley ain't expected to live through the night,

That the spirit within him should walk abroad with his fellow men.

That they are what they are.

That you may remember for your own sake, What has passed between us.

That's a poor excuse for picking a man's pocket every 25th of December.

That's all.

That's how l come to ruin myself.

That's right. How is he?

That's the kind of buck they're looking for these days.

That's what l'll do. He'll never dream where it came from!

That's you Robert, least ways there's no one else l know of.

The Amalgamated Mercantile Society's books show the startling figures

The annual shareholders meeting

The annual shareholders meeting

The beetle, madam, ha!

The curtains are still here. They're still here!

The foreman would appreciate a word with you, if you could spare the time, Sir.

The founder of the feast.

The one as big as me?!

The party he's to send it to.

The place, no doubt, seems new and strange to you.

The registry of burial was signed by Scrooge

The ruin of you, you mean.

The same Alice you swore to love for all eternity, Ebenezer.

The spirits must have done everything in one night.

The sum of money appropriated by Mr. Jorkin.

The world is on the verge of new and great changes, Mr. Scrooge.

The world, that can be so brutally cruel to the poor,

The world, that can be so brutally cruel to the poor,

Then a toast my love, my dearies.

Then learn this lesson.

Then leave her behind.

Then why are you leaving so early?

Then why should you ask me for more time to pay it back?

Then you no longer love me?

Then, ...

Then, you must live forever, Fan.

There but a touch of my hand and you shall be upheld in more than this.

There in the corner is where the Spirit of Christmas Present sat.

There never was a truer word spoken. T'was a judgment on him.

There shall no evil befall thee,

There was a fair maid dwelling;

There's enough for one toast now and another after that.

There's more in life than money, Sir.

There's not a rusted piece of metal in the place like its own hinges.

There's such a goose, Martha!

There's uh... there's nothing l can do, hmm?

Therefore, you shall come with me

These are but shadows of the things that have been.

These his blankets, too? Who's else do ya think?

These last few evenings.

They are but shades of the things that have been.

They are man's.

They are.

They become the company.

They cling to me for protection from their fetters.

They do not know we are here.

They put their hearts into Christmas as it were, Sir.

They seek to interfere for good in human measures.

They wait for no one.

They'd have wasted it, if it hadn't been for me.

They'd skin Jack Ketch alive and he'd never know they'd done it.

They're better now.

They're here. Everything's here!

They're men of business, very wealthy, very important.

They're not facing prosecution for the capital offense.

They're real, we are the shadows.

This boy is lgnorance. This girl is Want.

This is the age of the machine and the factory and the vested interest.

This is the happiest Christmas l ever had!

This must be distinctly understood or nothing wonderful can come of

Those who are badly off must go there.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

Three or four pounds, at most.

Through the window. Are you afraid?

Tim, Sir.

Time? ... Time for what?

To a maximum of fifty one percent of the total.

To a Merry Christmas!

To advise him that l have my eye on a situation for him

To keep me mouth shut? Hmm?

To keep your mouth shut. Oh no,!

To our general advantage. The devil you have!

To remember upon Christmas day,

Too late? l'm delighted, delighted! My dear, look who it is!

Truly happy now,...

Turn and see yourself in love, Ebenezer Scrooge.

Uh yes, yes, my boy?

Uh, what can l put you down for?

Uh, yes, yes, of course. Excuse me a moment.

Uh,...wait a minute just 'til l shut the door to the shop, eh?

Uncle Ebenezer!

Very well then, who's the worse for the loss of a few things like these?

Very well, Sir. Thank you.

Very well. But we have not done yet, Ebenezer Scrooge.

Wahahahahaohoh! ! ! !

Wait 'til your father sees it.

Waiter.

Was that the chance of hope that you mentioned, Jacob?

Watch, fob, seal, pencil case, sleeve buttons, broach.

We are good friends, l think, besides good men of business.

We are wrong. What?

We do, but turn, another page.

We had such a deal of work to finish up last night,

We had to clear away this morning,

We knew pretty well we was helping ourselves,

We live the whole 365.

We small traders are all history, Mr. Fezziwig.

We spirits of Christmas do not live only one day of our year.

We were wrong. Huh?

We wish to be allowed the option of buying up further shares in the company.

We...

We're all cut throats under this fancy linen, Mr. Snedrig.

We're all suitable to our callin's, eh?

We're all well matched.

We're in high hopes he's getting better, Sir.

We're men of vision and progress.

We've all got to die, Cratchit.

We've been no worse than the next man.

We've never had any quarrel that l've ever been party to.

Well at least the 10 pences cancel each other out.

Well do it then!

Well have they...have they seen to you properly?

Well if you want to pay it, come to my place of business.

Well l l think l know what Mr. Fezziwig means though, Sir.

Well l l'd still say money wasn't everything, Sir.

Well l'm really glad you think so, Miss,

Well no, l don't hate them, Sir, but ...

Well then, l've... l've just got to swallow this and...

Well they'd have buried him in this, of course.

Well we we can't be right all the time.

Well we won't beat about the bush, my friend.

Well what can l do about it? lf he's dying, he's dying.

Well, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to the poor old man.

Well, can l give it to him?

Well, come on.

Well, funeral won't cost much, that's certain.

Well, gentlemen, after seventeen years of existence,

Well, ha ha ha. You know what they say about time and tide, Mr. Fezziwig.

Well, if it isn't, l'd like you to tell me what you do spend a lifetime

Well, l don't know that our drinking to him will do him much good.

Well, my little cock sparrow,

Well, perhaps the machines aren't such a good thing for mankind, after all.

Well, the message was for you to go at once, Sir.

Well, there you are, me buck. That's where you'll start.

Well, we have no doubt that his generosity is well represented

Well, we'll talk it over later, Bob,

Well, what do you want?

Well, you couldn't have met in a better place.

Well.

What day?

What do you mean by coming in here this time of day, hmm?

What do you want with me?!

What for?

What next? l wonder.

What odds, now, that all met at the once.

What was the matter with him? l thought he'd never die.

What would you say to that, eh?

What you mean, wasted it?

What? Save myself?

What'd you? You would say you took these down,

What's he done with all his money?

What's the matter? Nothing.

What's your present salary? Five shillings a week, Sir.

Whatever you are.

When green buds they were swelling;

When he does breathe at all.

When you lost the love of that gentle creature?

Where are you taking me now.

Which leaves me no alternative but to raise your salary.

Which will bring him, if obtained, full 5 and 6 pence weekly!

While... Huh??

Who and what are you?

Who are you?!

Who goes first?

Who made lame beggars walk and blind men see.

Who me? Yes, you!

Who's funeral were they talking about?

Who's next?

Who's the wiser?

Why are you fettered?

Why do they lament?

Why do you doubt your senses?

Why do you marry against my wishes?

Why don't you come and see for yourself, if you won't take my word for it.

Why don't you sell out while the going's good?

Why it's Christmas Day, of course, Sir.

Why l've known him walk, with tiny Tim on his shoulder, very fast, indeed.

Why not? Because it's not good enough for you?

Why should it be anymore odd than it was with him, hmm?

Why should she go to a debtors' prison anyway?

Why show me all this if l'm beyond all hope?

Why wasn't he amiable in his lifetime?

Why, ... Where's our Martha?

Why, bless your heart.

Why, it's Cratchit! lt's Bob Cratchit!

Why, suppose l told you, you could get twice the salary

Why, that's you, Peter! What is it, Father? Yeah, what is it?

Why?

Will you profit by what l have shown you of the good in most men's hearts?

Will you profit by what l have shown you of the good in most men's hearts?

Will you... always feel like that?

With a woman as penniless as yourself. Oh, good evening, Nick.

With angelic hosts proclaim,

With angelic hosts, proclaim,

With neither wealth nor social standing? You, who now weigh everything by gain!

With no right to express an opinion on such a tender and delicate subject.

Without interfering with other peoples',

Without their visits you can not hope to shun the path l tread.

Won't it, Martha, my dear? Eh, Tim?

Won't occur!

Would any of you gentlemen care to deny

Would be poor compensation for the panic that would arise among the share holders.

Would resemble an orchestra of scorched cats.

Would you seek me out and try to win me now.

Wouldn't you? Hmm!?

Wrong. Wrong?

YA! ! You'll be quite the independent gentleman now, Peter!

Yeah, 17 and 6.

Yes l am, Father!

Yes l do, why not?

Yes, and put their hands into my pockets as it were, Sir.

Yes, come and hear it. You come, too, Mary and Belinda!

Yes, heh heh, well l'll leave you to it.

Yes, I love having a ride on his shoulder!

Yes, l do, l do, l do, ... l must.

Yes, l know it is. You don't have to tell me.

Yes, l suppose so, Sir, but ..

Yes, l'm l'm coming.

Yes, my buck, the one as big as you. lt's hanging there still.

Yes, Sir.

Yes, Sir. l'm sure. l'm very sorry, Sir, to cause you such an inconvenience.

Yes, thank you, Ma ma. Did you get the big goose?

Yes, to Scrooge! Uncle Scrooge!

Yes, you dear Uncle.

Yes, you do that before you dot another 'i', Bob Cratchit!

Yes! What a delightful boy.

Yes.

Yes.

You are indeed!

You are! you are. Dear God, you must!

You can stay for four shillings a week. Well yes, Sir. Thank you, Sir.

You certainly will.

You come along as well, Martha.

You didn't,... you didn't tear them down and sell them.

You do not know the weight and length of strong chain you bear yourself.

You don't believe in me.

You fear the world too much. Ha! ... with reason!

You fell in love.

You go straight out and buy a new coal scuttle.

You have chosen not to seek him in your heart.

You have my sympathy. Ahhhh...

You heard her.

You know he is, Robert, nobody knows it better than you do, poor fellow.

You know l'm right then?

You know this place? Know it?!

You must be cold and tired. Sit near the fire.

You must forgive Pa pa and forget the past.

You must live forever, Fan!

You mustn't reproach yourself, Jacob.

You no longer love me. When have l ever said that.

You old humbug!

You recall this, no doubt.

You still owe me twenty pounds and you are not in the position to repay

You wait and see. ya.

You want the whole day off tomorrow, l suppose?

You want to watch these two fellows, you know.

You was born to make a fortune, ma'am, and you, ...

You were always a good friend of mine.

You were made free of it long ago, eh?

You will be visited by three spirits. What?

You wish to be anonymous?

You, a clerk on fifteen shillings a week, with a wife and a family,

You...you ... might be an undigested bit of beef.

You'll force me to scream for the beetle!

You'll never get a better offer.

You're an embezzler of the company's funds.

You're going to get well again, Fan.

You're going to get well again, Fan. Fan, you're going to get well again!

You're not feeling too tired are you, dear?

You're not looking at it!

You're smart and you're no fool.

You're sure, you don't want to see a doctor?

You've made Fred so happy.

You've never seen the like of me before. ... Have you?

Young Jimmy Grove on his deathbed lay,

Young man, l think...

Your nephew, Uncle.

Your servant, Mr. Marley. Your servant, Mr. Scrooge.

Your sister was always a delicate creature whom a breath might have withered.

Your welfare.

2 sheets, 2 towels, shirt, teaspoons, 2 silver,

2 shillings a week. What? 2 shillings?

10 shillings a week, here!

bug.

...and have not charity, l am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

...there's still time...

...when l'm rich enough. Oh, it's a beautiful ring!

'Tis only once a year, Sir.
