00:00Oh, what a merry Christmas day, hear the joyous music play.
00:24Bells are ringing, choirs singing, oh, what a merry Christmas day.
00:32Sharing the season of good cheer, with the ones we hold so dear.
00:40Friendly faces, warm embraces, oh, what a merry Christmas day.
00:48Snowflake-covered country lanes, jack-crossed-painted windowpains.
00:56Twinkling stars on Christmas trees, oh, what happy memories.
01:04Gathered round the fireplace, families filled with love and grace.
01:12From the peaceful embers glow, blessed Yuletide spirits grow, grow and grow, grow and grow.
01:24Joy to the children far and near, what a wondrous time of year.
01:32Isn't it just grand to say, Merry, merry Christmas, Merry, merry Christmas, Merry, merry Christmas.
01:45Oh, what a merry Christmas day.
01:50Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to one and all.
02:08Give a penny for the poor, governor.
02:10Penny for the poor.
02:12Ah!
02:13My partner, Jacob Marley, dead seven years today.
02:23Ah, he was a good'un.
02:24He robbed from the widows and swindled the poor.
02:29In his will, he left me enough money to pay for his tombstone.
02:33And I had him buried at sea.
02:35Good morning, Mr. Scrooge.
02:44Cratchit, what are you doing with that piece of coal?
02:47I was, uh, just trying to thaw out the ink.
02:52Bah, you used a piece last week?
02:56Now, get on with your work, Cratchit.
03:01Speaking of work, Mr. Scrooge,
03:03Tomorrow is Christmas, and I was wondering if I could have a half a day off.
03:09Christmas, eh?
03:11Well, I suppose so.
03:15But I'll dock you half a day's pay.
03:19Now, let's see.
03:20I pay you two shillings a day.
03:23Two shillings and a hay penny, sir.
03:25Oh, yes.
03:27I gave you that raise three years ago.
03:29Yes, sir, when I started doing your laundry.
03:32All right, Cratchit.
03:33Get busy while I go for my books.
03:36Oh, and here.
03:37Here's another bundle of shirts for you.
03:41Yes, sir.
03:45Let's see now.
03:46Fifty pounds, ten shillings from Macduff.
03:50Plus his 80% interest, compounded daily.
03:54Oh, money, money, money.
03:59Merry Christmas!
04:01And a Merry Christmas to you, Master Fred.
04:05Bah, humbug.
04:07Merry Christmas, aren't you strange?
04:10What's so merry about it?
04:12I'll tell you what Christmas is.
04:14It's just another workday,
04:16and any jack and apes who thinks else
04:18should be boiled in his own pudding.
04:20Oh.
04:22But, sir, Christmas is a time for giving.
04:25A time to be with one's family.
04:27I say bah, humbug.
04:30I don't care.
04:31I say Merry Christmas.
04:33Merry Christmas.
04:35Well said, Master Fred.
04:37Cratchit, what are you doing?
04:40Uh, uh, I was just trying to keep my hands warm, sir.
04:44And what are you doing here, Nephew?
04:49I've come to give you a wish
04:51and invite you to Christmas dinner.
04:54Well, I suppose you're going to have
04:57plump goose with chestnut dressing?
05:00Yep.
05:00And will you have plum pudding and lemon sauce?
05:03Yeah, but oh boy.
05:05And candied fruits with spice sugar cakes?
05:07Yeah.
05:08Now you, Tom.
05:09Are you daft man?
05:11You know I can't eat that stuff.
05:13Here's your wreath back.
05:15Now out, out, out.
05:18Bah.
05:19Humbug.
05:21Now we're a Christmas.
05:24And a bah, humbug to you.
05:26Ah, that Fred, always so full of kindness.
05:30Aye, he always was a little peculiar.
05:34And stubborn.
05:37Ooh.
05:37Ha, ha, ha, ha.
05:39Customers, I'll handle this, Cratchit.
05:42Hmm.
05:43Yes, what can I do for you two gentlemen?
05:46Sir, we're soliciting funds for the indigent and destitute.
05:50For the what?
05:52We're collecting for the poor.
05:53Oh, ha, ha.
05:57Well, um, you realize if you give money to the poor, they won't be poor anymore, will they?
06:03Well, uh.
06:04And if they're not poor anymore, then you won't have to raise money for them anymore.
06:09Well, I suppose...
06:10And if you don't have to raise money for them anymore, then you would be out of a job.
06:16Oh, please, gentlemen, don't ask me to put you out of a job, not on Christmas Eve.
06:21Oh, we wouldn't do that, Mr. Scrooge.
06:24Well, then, I suggest you give this to the poor and be gone.
06:31Oh.
06:33What's this world coming to, Cratchit?
06:37You work all your life to get money.
06:40And people want you to give it away.
06:42Hmm, two minutes fast.
07:05Well, never mind those two minutes.
07:11You may go now.
07:13Ha!
07:13Oh, thank you, sir.
07:15You're so kind.
07:17Never mind the mushy stuff.
07:18Just go.
07:19But be here all the earlier the next day.
07:22I will.
07:22I will, sir.
07:23And a bah humbug.
07:24I mean, a Merry Christmas to you, sir.
07:32Bah!
07:33Ah!
07:42Ah!
07:43Ah!
07:44Ah!
07:45Ah!
07:46Ah!
07:47Ah!
07:48Ah!
07:49Ah!
07:50Ah!
07:51Ah!
07:52Ah!
07:53Ah!
07:54Scrooge
08:24Jacob Marley?
08:26No, that can't be!
08:31Ow!
08:32No!
08:33Whoa!
08:34Oh, God!
08:37Oh!
08:41Bah!
08:54Oh!
09:11Oh!
09:15Ah!
09:25Ebeneezer Scrooge
09:31Go away!
09:34Ebeneezer Scrooge
09:38Oh, gosh, kinda slippery
09:45Scrooge, don't you recognize me?
09:51I was your partner, Jacob Marley
09:55Marley, it is you
10:00Ebeneezer, remember when I was alive I robbed the widows and swindled the poor?
10:06Yes, and all in the same day
10:09Oh, you had class, Jacob
10:11Yep
10:12Oh, no!
10:13No!
10:14I was wrong!
10:16And so as punishment, I'm forced to carry these heavy chains through eternity
10:23Maybe even longer
10:25There's no hope
10:27I'm doomed
10:28I'm doomed
10:29I'm doomed
10:30I'm doomed
10:31And the same thing will happen to you, Ebeneezer Scrooge
10:36No
10:37No, it can't
10:38It mustn't
10:39Help me, Jacob
10:41Tonight, you will be visited by three spirits
10:45Listen to them
10:47Do what they say
10:48Or your chains will be heavier than mine
10:51Farewell, Ebeneezer
10:53Farewell, Ebeneezer
10:54Farewell
10:58Farewell
11:04Marley!
11:05Watch out for that fuss
11:07Whoa
11:12Step
11:13Step
11:30Spirits
11:31Hey
11:32Humbuck
11:38What?
11:39What?
11:40What?
11:41What?
11:42What?
11:43What?
11:44What?
11:45What?
12:00What?
12:01What?
12:02Ahem!
12:04What?
12:05Well, it's about time
12:12Haven't got all night, you know.
12:14Who are you?
12:16Why, I'm the ghost of Christmas past.
12:22Oh, I thought you'd be taller.
12:25Listen, Scrooge, if men were measured by kindness,
12:28you'd be no bigger than a speck of dust.
12:34Kindness is of little use in this world.
12:37You didn't always think so.
12:39Come on, Scrooge, it's time to go.
12:41Then go.
12:47Spirit, what are you doing?
12:51We're going to visit your past.
12:53I'm not going out there.
12:55I'll fall.
12:57Just hold on.
12:59Not too tight now.
13:08Spirit, look out.
13:11What's wrong, Scrooge?
13:19I thought you enjoyed looking down on the world.
13:31Spirit, I believe I know this place.
13:34Yes, it's old Fezziwig's.
13:39I couldn't have worked for a kinder man.
13:41Why, it's old Fezziwig himself.
13:52And all of my very dearest friends.
13:55And that shy lad in the corner, that's me.
14:06Yes, that was before you became a miserable miser, consumed by greed.
14:11Well, nobody's perfect.
14:12And there, there's lovely Isabelle.
14:20Ebenezer?
14:21Ebenezer?
14:23Yes, Isabelle?
14:24My eyes are closed, my lips are puckered, and I'm standing under the mistletoe.
14:30Oh, you're also standing on my foot.
14:33Oh, I remember how much I was in love with her.
15:02In ten years' time, you'll learn to love something else.
15:08Why, why, it's my counting house.
15:11Nine thousand, nine hundred and seventy-two.
15:14Nine thousand...
15:15Ebenezer?
15:16Yes, what is it?
15:19For years I've had this honeymoon cottage, Ebenezer.
15:22I've been waiting for you to keep your promise to marry me.
15:27Now I must know.
15:28Have you made your decision?
15:30I have.
15:31Your last payment on the cottage was an hour late.
15:34I'm foreclosing the mortgage.
15:38Oh!
15:39You loved your gold more than that precious creature, and you lost her forever.
15:48Nine thousand, nine hundred and seventy...
15:51Three.
15:56Please, spirit, I can no longer bear these memories.
15:59Take me home.
16:00Remember, Scrooge, you fashioned these memories yourself.
16:04Yourself.
16:08Why was that so foolish?
16:14Why?
16:15Why?
16:17What's this?
16:20Three.
16:21Five.
16:22Four.
16:23Four.
16:24I smell.
16:25I mean, I smell a stingy little Englishman.
16:34I think I do.
16:37Yeah, I do.
16:39Please, let me go.
16:42Don't eat me.
16:43Why would the ghost of Christmas present, that's me, want to eat a distasteful little miser like you?
16:51Especially when there are so many good things to enjoy in life.
16:54See?
16:56Oh.
16:57Mince pies.
16:59Turkeys.
17:01Suckling pig.
17:03And don't forget the chocolate pat roast with the smash you.
17:07With smash you.
17:09With smash you.
17:10With yogurt.
17:13But where did all this come from?
17:15From the hot, Scrooge.
17:19It's the food of generosity, which you have long denied your fellow man.
17:24Generosity.
17:25Generosity.
17:25Ha!
17:27Nobody has ever shown me generosity.
17:31You've never given them reason to.
17:35Oh.
17:35And yet, there are some who still find enough warmth in their hearts, even for the likes of you.
17:43No acquaintance of mine.
17:46I assure you.
17:48Uh, you'll see.
17:49And you'll see.
17:52I'll see.
17:52Have a great job.
17:53I'll see.
17:54What?
17:54I'll see.
17:55I'll see.
17:55I'll see.
17:55I'll see.
17:56Uh, here we are.
18:21Why did you bring me to this old shack?
18:28This is the home of your overworked, underpaid employee, Bob Cratchit.
18:36What's she cooking, a canary?
18:38Surely they have more food than that.
18:41Look on the fire.
18:44That's your laundry.
18:48Not yet, children. We must wait for Tiny Tim.
18:52Coming, Father. I'm coming.
19:01Oh, my. Look at all the wonderful things to eat.
19:07We must take Mr. Scrooge.
19:11Tell me, Spirit, what's wrong with that kind lad?
19:15Much, I'm afraid.
19:17If these shadows remain unchanged,
19:20I see an empty chair where Tiny Tim once sat.
19:28Then that means Tim will...
19:32Where did they go?
19:34Spirit, where are you?
19:36Where are you?
19:37Don't go.
19:38You must tell me about Tim.
19:41Don't go.
19:48Where did...
19:55Who are you?
19:57Are you the ghost of Christmas future?
20:04Please, speak to me.
20:06Tell me.
20:08What will happen to Tiny Tim?
20:27Oh, no.
20:38Spirit, I didn't want this to happen.
20:41Tell me these events can yet be changed.
20:49I've never seen a funeral like this one.
20:52Aye, no mourners, no friends to bid him farewell.
20:56Oh, well.
20:57Let's rest a minute before we fill it in, eh?
20:59But he ain't going nowhere.
21:11Spirit, whose lonely grave is this?
21:16Why yours, Ebeneezer?
21:17The richest man in the cemetery.
21:18Please!
21:19Oh!
21:20Oh!
21:21Oh!
21:22Oh!
21:23Oh!
21:24Oh!
21:25Oh!
21:26Oh!
21:27Oh!
21:28Oh!
21:29Oh!
21:30Oh!
21:31Oh!
21:32Oh!
21:33Oh!
21:34Oh!
21:35Oh!
21:36Oh!
21:37Oh!
21:38Oh!
21:39Oh!
21:40Oh!
21:41Oh!
21:42Oh!
21:43Oh!
21:44Oh!
21:45Oh!
21:46Oh!
21:47Oh!
21:48Archie!
21:49Archie!
21:51Spirit!
21:52Let me out!
21:53Let me out!
21:54I'll...
21:55Huh?
21:56What?
21:57I'm back in my own room.
22:05It's Christmas morning. I haven't missed it.
22:08The spirits have given me another chance.
22:11Oh, I know just what I'll do.
22:14They'll be so surprised.
22:18Oh, what a wonderful day.
22:21Oh, there's so much to do.
22:23Oh, so much to do.
22:27I can't go out like this.
22:33There, that, that.
22:39Merry Christmas to one and all.
22:45Well, bless me.
22:47Good morning, gentlemen.
22:49I've something for you.
22:53Twenty gold sovereigns. Oh, no.
22:56No.
22:57Not enough?
22:58Well, all right.
22:59Fifty gold sovereigns.
23:02Really, Mr. Scrooge, it's still not enough.
23:06You drive a hard bargain.
23:08Here you are.
23:09One hundred gold pieces.
23:11And not a penny more.
23:13Not a penny more.
23:14Oh, thank you, Mr. Scrooge.
23:17And a merry Christmas to you.
23:22Merry Christmas.
23:23Merry Christmas.
23:24Merry Christmas.
23:25Merry Christmas.
23:26Merry Christmas.
23:27Merry Christmas.
23:28Merry Christmas.
23:29Merry Christmas.
23:30Merry Christmas.
23:31A merry Christmas.
23:32Yay.
23:33Aw, nephew.
23:34Uncle Scrooge!
23:36I'm looking forward to that wonderful meal of yours.
23:38What am I doing doing?
23:40Give me a new comfort.
23:41Of course I am!
23:43You know how much I like candied fruits with spice sugar cakes.
23:46I'll be over probably too. Keep it piping hot.
23:51The religious words are real.
23:54And a very Merry Christmas to you.
23:58Merry Christmas and keep the change.
24:02Wonderful, lads.
24:05And now for Crotchet.
24:16Why, Mr. Scrooge, Merry Christmas.
24:20Won't you come in?
24:22Merry Christmas. I have another bundle for you.
24:29But, sir, it's Christmas Day.
24:31Christmas Day, indeed.
24:33Just another excuse for being lazy.
24:36And another thing, Crotchet.
24:39I've had enough of this half-day-off stuff.
24:42You leave me no alternative.
24:45But to give you...
24:47Toys!
24:48Yes, toys.
24:49No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
24:51I'm giving you a raise.
24:53And making you my partner.
24:55A partner?
24:57Oh, thank you, Mr. Scrooge.
25:01Merry Christmas, Bob.
25:03And God blesses everyone.
25:07Joy to the children far and near.
25:11What a wondrous time of year.
25:15Presented just grand to say.
25:19Merry, Merry Christmas.
25:23Merry, Merry Christmas.
25:27For what a merry Christmas day.
25:37Merry Christmas.
25:39Merry Christmas.
25:40Merry Christmas.
25:41Merry Christmas.
25:46Merry Christmas.
25:47Christmas night.
25:48Ollie.
25:49Try and!
25:54Oh my goodness.
25:56Bye.
25:57AllαΊΏques.
25:58Hello, everyone.
25:59Hot?
