:03:00
- Well, sir?
- I am sorry, governor.
:03:01
I didn't mean to hit you, sir.
:03:03
Please don't be angry with him, sir.
He's my brother.
:03:05
In that case,
I've only one reason to be angry.
:03:07
He broke my record.
:03:09
- What's your name?
- Cratchit, sir. Peter Cratchit.
:03:12
He's my brother, Tim Cratchit.
:03:13
- Not Bob Cratchit's sons?
- Why, yes, sir.
:03:16
I know your father well.
:03:17
In truth, I was on my way
to his place of work when we met.
:03:20
Maybe he'll take the message for us, Pete.
:03:22
As you'll be seeing him, sir,
you might do me the favor...
:03:24
of giving him this list of things
my mother wants him to fetch.
:03:27
- Certainly.
- It's very nice of you to do that, sir.
:03:29
Not a bit of it, Peter.
I'm more than willing.
:03:30
Well, that is jolly.
:03:31
Don't you two lads want to see
your father? And on Christmas Eve, too?
:03:35
It ain't that we don't want to see
our own father, sir.
:03:37
It's the man our father works for
we don't want to see. Mr. Scrooge.
:03:41
I don't think he's very fond
of small boys, sir.
:03:43
Yes. I understand.
You see, I knew Mr. Scrooge...
:03:46
when I was a small boy. He's my uncle.
:04:16
Come on now, Bob.
:04:17
Aren't you going to wish me
a merry Christmas?
:04:19
Mr. Fred, I am sorry. When you came in
and stood there like that...
:04:21
I thought it was your uncle.
A merry Christmas, sir.
:04:23
A merry Christmas to you, Bob,
and to your family.
:04:27
I've already paid my respects
to part of your brood.
:04:30
Peter and Tim, their names were.
:04:32
They asked me to give you this list
from their mother.
:04:34
Thank you. They shouldn't have made it
an errand for you.
:04:36
I was pleased to do it.
:04:38
It's cold in here.
:04:39
You think we could have some coal
on the fire?
:04:42
Oh, yes.
It's against the regulations, isn't it?
:04:44
Mr. Scrooge doesn't like to waste coal, sir.
:04:46
I foresaw that and provided for it.
:04:48
This'll make the place less bleak.
:04:50
- What might that be?
- It's a wine bottle.
:04:54
A cheering, warming, goodly wine.
A wine that'll race through your veins...
:04:57
with little torches. It's port, Bob.
The fifth essence of the Christmas spirit.
