[00:09.46]A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1)
[00:11.81](In Scrooge’s office)
[00:11.81]What are you doing there, Bob?
[00:13.58]I’m warming my hands, Mr Scrooge.
[00:15.52]It’s so cold in here.
[00:16.69]Am I paying you 15 shillings1 a week for warming your hands?
[00:20.90]I’m freezing, Mr Scrooge.
[00:22.33]Frost stands on the windows.
[00:23.46]My hands are too cold to write.
[00:24.79]I can’t even read my own handwriting.
[00:24.86]Too cold to write.
[00:26.06]Humbug2!
[00:27.32]If you were working harder, you wouldn’t be cold.
[00:30.11]Just put on you overcoat.
[00:31.68]If I hear another word from you, you will go where it is really cold.
[00:36.07](Bog tries to warm his hands over the candle.)
[00:39.20]Excuse me, Mr Scrooge, eh…tomorrow it’s Christmas
[00:42.83]So what?
[00:43.83]You’ll want all day off tomorrow, I suppose?
[00:47.04]If quite convenient, sir.
[00:48.53]If not convenient, and it’s not fair,
[00:52.06]I have to pay you a whole day’s wages for no work at all.
[00:56.81]It’s only Christmas once a year, Mr Scrooge.
[00:58.87]That’s a poor excuse for picking a man’s pocket every twenty-fifth of December!
[01:04.18]Anyway, I suppose I will have to let you have it.
[01:07.70]But make sure to be early in the office the day after!
[01:10.94]Now, who’s here? It’s my nephew Fred.
[01:14.81](A young man comes in.)
[01:16.38]A Merry Christmas, Uncle!
[01:17.84]God save you!
[01:18.83]Bah! Humbug!
[01:20.53]Christmas a humbug, Uncle? You don’t mean that, I’m sure!
[01:23.90]I do.
[01:25.10]Merry Christmas!
[01:26.69]What reason do you have to be merry?
[01:29.33]You are poor enough.
[01:31.55]Well. What reason have you not to be merry?
[01:33.90]You are rich enough.
[01:34.95]Bah! Humbug!
[01:36.67]Please, Uncle.
[01:37.87]That’s not kind.
[01:38.79]Nephew, you celebrate Christmas in you own way,
[01:42.63]and let me celebrate it in mine!
[01:44.93]Celebrate it, yes!
[01:46.57]But you don’t celebrate it.
[01:47.93]No. let leave it alone, then.
[01:50.62]Much good may it do you!
[01:52.66]But you must admit that it hasn’t, so far!
[01:55.74]Look how poor are!
[01:57.52]There are many things that do me good without bringing in profits.
[02:00.81]Christmas time is a good time
[02:02.51]It’s the only time of the year when one does not only think about oneself,
[02:05.88]but when men and women open their hearts freely3 and think of other people.
[02:09.04]So, although it has never put a piece of gold or silver in my pocket,
[02:12.51]I believe that it has done me good,
[02:14.16]and will do me good.
[02:15.13]I say, God bless it!
[02:16.90]Come Have dinner with us tomorrow.
[02:18.63](Bob applauds4.)
[02:20.06]Stop that foolish clapping!
[02:22.28]Let me hear another sound from you, and you’ll celebrate Christmas by losing your position!
[02:27.87](Fred leaves. A gentleman comes in.)
[02:30.62]Scrooge and Marley’s, I believe.
[02:32.91]Are you Mr Scrooge or Mr Marley?
[02:34.85]Scrooge is the name.
[02:36.78]My partner died seven years ago, this very night.
[02:40.36]AT this festive5 season of the year, Mr Scrooge,
[02:43.08]when many of us enjoy abundant6 comfort,
[02:45.24]we would like to ask you to open your heart to the poor,
[02:47.54]whose sufferings are great.
[02:48.98]Many thousands are in want of basic needs;
[02:51.33]hundred of thousands are in want of basic comforts, sir.
[02:50.33]Are there no prisons? And Union work houses?
[02:53.99]There are plenty of prisons, but they cannot provide warmth.
[02:56.91]We are raising money to buy the poor some meat and drink,and means of warmth.
[03:00.81]Do you wish to make a contribution?
[03:02.74]No. I can’t afford to make idle7 people merry.
[03:02.95]Prisons and places like that cost honest taxpayers8 like me enough;
[03:07.74]and those who are badly off must go there.
[03:10.66]Many can’t go there; and many would rather die.
[03:13.46]If they would rather die, they had better do it.
[03:16.72]Personally, I don’t care.
[03:19.12]It’s not my business.
[03:20.95]My business occupies me constantly
[03:23.51]Good afternoon, gentlemen!
[03:25.45](They all leave.)
[03:27.56]Good. They’re all gone.
[03:29.78](Scrooge falls asleep.)
[03:31.82]Ho, ho, ho!
[03:32.94]What humbug is this?
[03:34.93]Bob, is that you?
[03:36.89]Who’s there?
[03:38.01]Ho, ho, ho. Scrooge, my man.
[03:40.65]It’s just the two of us.
[03:41.85]Who are you and what is your business?
[03:44.49]And make it short, because it’s time to close up.
[03:48.07]Your welfare, my dear Scrooge!
[03:50.71]Don’t worry about the time.
[03:51.86]We have plenty of it.
[03:53.61]Ho, ho, ho.
[03:54.78]Humbug. I don’t believe in Santa Clause9.
[03:58.65]Leave me alone
[03:59.77]Alone is what you are, and what you have been.
[04:02.28]Do you remember you dream, Scrooge?
[04:04.63]Think about your future.
[04:05.91](frightened) What do you know about my dreams?
[04:10.14]Ho, ho, ho. I know all about people’s dreams, Scrooge.
[04:13.80]Come with me, and I’ll show you.

[04:19.05]A CHRISTMAS CAROL (2)
[04:21.48]Where are we?
[04:23.20]Ho, ho, ho. Don’t you recognize it, Scrooge?
[04:26.34]You grew up here.
[04:27.51]Have a look though this window.
[04:29.42](They watch a young man and a young woman.)
[04:31.82]It is over between us, don’t you see?
[04:35.04]It’s Lisa and I.
[04:36.76]It can’t be true!
[04:38.48]How can I be looking at myself?
[04:40.78]You aren’t, Scrooge.
[04:42.77]These are but shadows of the past.
[04:44.70]Watch and listen.
[04:46.24]You don’t care about me may more.
[04:47.81]Another idol10 has taken my place.
[04:49.85]What are you talking about?
[04:51.57]What idol has taken your place?
[04:53.30]: A golden one.
[04:54.50]What do you mean?
[04:55.78]All you think about is how to become wealthy.
[04:58.13]Poverty is a terrible fate11, so there is nothing wrong in making money.
[05:02.31]That’s not what life is about!
[05:03.80]You only have an eye for money.
[05:02.80]All your other hopes and dreams have flown into one single ambition.
[05:06.32]I’ve seen your nobler aspirations12 disappear one by one, until one, gain, was left.
[05:11.50]So what?
[05:12.70]I’ve not changed towards you.
[05:14.58]Our bond13 dates back to the time when we were both and content to be so.
[05:18.03]You have changed.
[05:19.03]You were another man, then.
[05:20.67]Hummbug! You’ve got it all wrong.
[05:22.76]I wish I had!
[05:23.94]It’s better for us to separate.
[05:25.69]Let’s go. I don’t want to see this.
[05:29.76]I’m not like that.
[05:31.17]Aren’t you, Scrooge?
[05:32.58]Let’s observe another little scene, as you might have in your life to come.
[05:36.45](They watch a family celebration.)
[05:38.80]Father is late.
[05:39.45]I think it’s because he walks slower than the used to, as of late.
[05:40.42]I’ve known him walk with-I’ve known walk with Tiny Tim upon his shoulder, very fast indeed.
[05:47.03]True.
[05:48.36]But he was very light to carry, and his father loved him so.
[05:51.71]That was no trouble, no trouble at all.
[05:54.21]Here he is!
[05:55.29]My dears, what a beautiful goose you’ve got there.
[05:58.52]I’m sure never such a goose was cooked.
[06:00.35]And oh, what a wonderful pudding!
[06:02.08]A Merry Christmas to us all, my dears.God bless us!
[06:02.33]Merry Christmas!
[06:03.61]And we should not forget Mr Scrooge.
[06:06.40]To Mr Scrooge, and thank him for this feast14.
[06:09.20]No. Not to scrooge, that mean, hard, selfish old man.
[06:10.92]You know he is, Bob.
[06:12.57]Nobody knows it better than you do, poor fellow.
[06:15.13]He makes his clerks work so many hours and pays you so little.
[06:19.26]We never had money to buy medicines for Tiny Tim.
[06:22.44]God bless him.
[06:23.44]My dears, it’s Christmas: we should not forget Mr Scrooge.
[06:27.15]Long life to him!
[06:28.40]Santa, where’s Tiny Tim
[06:31.38]What happened? Tell me Tiny Tim will live.
[06:34.96]Have mercy!
[06:36.52]Ho, ho, ho. Scrooge, these are shadows of what may happen in the future.
[06:40.83]It many happen, but it doesn’t have to, does it?
[06:44.70]Heaven, be praised for this!
[06:47.05]Santa! Hear me! I’m not the man I was
[06:51.15]I’ll change my life believe me.
[06:53.66]Ho, ho ho.
[06:55.38]Good old Ebenezer Scrooge.
[06:56.87]It’s Christmas Eve.
[06:58.23]Shouldn’t you go somewhere?
[06:59.83]Oh yes, indeed.
[07:01.94]I shall go to Fred.
[07:03.69]No let’s go to Bob first.
[07:06.41]No time to lose. Haha. I don’t know what to do!
[07:10.64]A Merry Christmas to all the world!
[07:12.68]Boy, do you know the butcher shop around the corner?
[07:15.84]Yes.
[07:16.80]Good boy! Haha!
[07:18.42]Take this money and tell them to deliver their biggest turkey to Bob Cratchit.
[07:22.55]Haha. It’s twice the size of Tiny Tim.
[07:25.48](Christmas Day: Scrooge goes to Bob Cratchit’s house.)
[07:29.08]Good morning, Bob.
[07:30.70]Good morning, Mr Scrooge.
[07:32.71]A huge turkey was delivered here just now, I beg your pardon a thousand times, Mr Scrooge.
[07:37.31]There must be some terrible mistakes. I, I …
[07:39.82]Not at all, Bob, on the contrary.
[07:42.12]There is a turkey large enough for all of your family to enjoy,
[07:45.36]and when you come to the office tomorrow,
[07:47.26]we’ll toast to the New Year with a glass of bishop15 wine.
[07:50.03]I’m here to wish you all a Merry Christmas.
[07:52.88]But Mr Scrooge, how generous of you!
[07:55.47]Thank you. And Merry Christmas to you!s of
[07:57.01]Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
