:44:02
What's got into your father and Tim?
:44:04
And Martha wasn't this late last Christmas
by half an hour.
:44:07
Here's Martha, Mother.
:44:09
Here she is, Mother. Here's Martha.
:44:10
There's a goose for Christmas, Martha.
:44:13
Bless your heart.
I was afraid you weren't coming.
:44:15
We'd a deal of sewing to finish
up last night, and this morning...
:44:18
we had to clear up the shop.
:44:20
Just so long as you've come.
:44:22
- You're cold, child.
- Not very.
:44:23
Sit down by the fire and have a warm.
:44:25
Father's here, Mama.
:44:26
- Hide.
- Hide in here.
:44:30
Here we come.
:44:34
Whoa it is. Hello.
:44:37
There we are.
:44:38
Belinda.
:44:40
- Where's our Martha?
- Not coming.
:44:42
Not coming?
Not coming on Christmas day?
:44:45
Martha girl.
:44:48
Come, Tim, into the back.
Smell the pudding.
:44:52
- Was it a good service, Bob?
- Beautiful. That's what it was.
:44:55
I wish you'd been there.
:44:56
So long as you and Tim were there,
I feel it did us all good.
:44:59
- Here, I'll give that gravy what for.
- Thank you, dear.
:45:02
Belinda, you sweeten up the applesauce.
:45:04
- I have, Mommy. It's on the table.
- Good girl.
:45:06
- Peter, take this chair inside.
- Yes, Mother.
:45:08
Now, I'm going to take one last look
at the table.
:45:11
What a Christmas!
There never was such a Christmas.
:45:13
Here, Martha, taste this.
:45:18
Sweet enough?
:45:19
- Well, it's still a wee bit sour.
- So.
:45:22
- Been working hard, Father?
- Yes.
:45:25
How's old Scrooge?
:45:28
- Same as ever.
- What's the matter?
:45:31
Not a thing. Not a single blessed thing.
:45:34
Something at the office?
:45:35
No. Why, it was only yesterday
Mr. Scrooge came to me...
:45:38
shook my hand and, "Cratchit,"
he says, "Cratchit, my lad"...
:45:40
he calls me "my lad"...
:45:42
"You're one in 1,000. You're..."
:45:45
Something is wrong. What is it?
:45:56
- I've been sacked, Martha.
- Father!
:45:59
- When was it?
- Last night.
