And are only experts allowed to taste it?
:49:04
My dear. Glasses all. Glasses.
:49:07
Fill mine, Father. Thank you.
:49:09
- Three, four.
- Thank you.

:49:12
- Five.
- Thank you.

:49:14
- Six.
- Thank you.

:49:15
- Seven.
- Thank you.

:49:17
Well, this is the largest,
but a merry Christmas to us, my dears.

:49:22
And God bless us all.
:49:23
And here's to next Christmas,
may it bring us luck.

:49:27
And may Mr. Scrooge
give your father a raise.

:49:29
And a merry Christmas to Mr. Scrooge.
:49:32
I'll drink to that.
:49:38
- Delicious.
- How lovely.

:49:40
And now, Father, a story please.
:49:42
Yes. Please, a story, Father.
:49:44
Right you are. A story it is.
:49:46
Come along, kids. Sit here.
:49:48
Now let me see.
:49:51
It seems that once upon a time,
there was a little boy...

:49:54
about your size, Timmy...
:49:57
- Come, Scrooge, we must go.
- Must we?

:49:59
Just let me hear Bob's story.
:50:01
It's about Aladdin and the magic lamp.
:50:04
Please let me stay.
:50:07
No, Scrooge.
:50:19
And he said that Christmas was humbug.
As I live, he did.

:50:22
As if anything that gave excuse for this
could be humbug.

:50:25
- Your uncle should be ashamed.
- I'm sorry for him.

:50:28
I couldn't be angry with him if I tried.
After all, he punishes himself.

:50:32
And how does he do that, pray?
:50:33
- Well, he has money, hasn't he?
- Yes.

:50:35
And he makes no use of it, mark you,
no use of it whatsoever.

:50:38
Therefore, he's a far more pathetic
and unhappy case...

:50:40
than a man who has no money at all.
:50:42
QED, he punishes himself.
:50:47
Now, that's a wonderful idea.
:50:48
Tom here suggests that we play a game.
Now what shall it be?

:50:51
- Blindman's buff.
- Blindman's buff? Right.

:50:54
But first, I want you to drink a toast.
To my uncle Scrooge.

:50:56
It seems a shame to waste a toast
on a man like that.

:50:59
But, darling, think how happy
he makes everyone feel, by contrast.
