:08:04
Uncle, I ask nothing from you.
I want nothing from you.
:08:06
There's no reason
why we should be enemies.
:08:09
Good afternoon.
:08:10
Uncle, I made this visit
in homage to Christmas, and I'll keep...
:08:13
my Christmas spirit to the last.
And so, Uncle, a merry Christmas.
:08:17
- Good afternoon.
- And a happy new year.
:08:19
Good afternoon!
:08:24
A merry Christmas to you, Bob.
:08:26
Thank you, sir. A merry Christmas to you
and to your wife-to-be.
:08:29
Thank you.
:08:35
- A merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
:08:37
- And the same to you, sirs.
- Thank you.
:08:39
- Scrooge and Marley's, I believe.
- Yes, sir.
:08:41
I have the pleasure
of addressing Mr. Marley?
:08:42
- No, sir.
- Then you're Mr. Scrooge.
:08:44
- No.
- My name is Scrooge.
:08:47
- And my name is Twill.
- And mine is Rummidge.
:08:51
And Mr. Marley?
:08:52
Mr. Marley's been dead these seven years.
:08:54
- He died seven years ago this very night.
- On Christmas Eve?
:08:59
As good a time as any.
:09:00
We have no doubt that Mr. Marley's
liberality is well represented...
:09:04
by his surviving partner.
:09:05
At this festive season of the year,
Mr. Scrooge...
:09:08
it is more than usually desirable
that some slight provision be made...
:09:11
for the poor and destitute.
:09:12
Many thousands are in want, sir,
in need of common necessaries.
:09:16
Hundreds of thousands are in want
of common comforts, sir.
:09:20
- Are there no prisons?
- Plenty of prisons.
:09:23
And the workhouses,
are they still in operation?
:09:26
They are. Though I wish with all my heart
they were not.
:09:29
I was afraid from what you said at first
that something had occurred...
:09:32
to stop them in their useful course.
:09:33
Under the impression these places
can scarcely furnish Christmas cheer...
:09:36
for the mind and body of the multitude...
:09:38
a few of us have endeavored to form
a fund for the poor, to buy them food...
:09:43
and drink, and means of warmth.
:09:45
What can I put you down for, sir?
:09:47
Nothing.
:09:49
You wish to be anonymous?
:09:51
I wish to be left alone.
:09:53
Since you asked me what I wish,
gentlemen, that is my answer.
:09:55
I help to support the institutions
I mentioned. They cost enough...
:09:59
and those who are badly off
must go there.
