- Come here.
- Hmm?
:08:07
Thank you for making me
a part of this.
:08:10
He was a tightfisted hand
at the grindstone. Scrooge...
:08:14
a squeezing.
wrenching. Grasping...
:08:17
clutching. Covetous old sinner.
:08:22
- Bob Cratchit?
- Yes. Mr Scrooge?
:08:25
- Who is this?
- It's Mr Applegate. Sir.
:08:28
He's here to speak to you
about his mortgage.
:08:31
Please. Mr Scrooge.
I know you're very angry about this.
:08:33
And I didn't mean to fall behind
in the payments.
:08:35
Lord knows.
it being Christmas and all.
:08:38
Please don't shout at me. Sir.
:08:40
That and. Of course. Little Gwen.
Her lungs aren't right.
:08:43
The doctor takes his share. Don't he?
:08:45
I mean. You can yell and scream and
you're right. But it won't do no good...
:08:49
because I'm the stone
you can't squeeze blood from.
:08:52
And that's the truth!
:08:54
Thank you for not shouting at me.
:08:57
- Seventy-two...
- Seventy-four...
:08:59
Let us deal with the eviction notices
for tomorrow. Mr Cratchit.
:09:04
- Tomorrow is Christmas. Sir.
- Very well.
:09:07
You may gift-wrap them.
:09:10
- Let us help you with that. Mr Cratchit.
- Oh. My. There are certainly a lot today.
:09:14
- We'll get 'em.
- Okay. Okay.
- There you go. Boss.
:09:17
- Here you go.
- Look out on that end.
Look out. Iook out!
:09:19
Come on. Guys. Whoa!
:09:22
Whoa! Look out!
Look out! Look out!
:09:24
Christmas is a very busy time
for us. Mr Cratchit.
:09:27
People preparing feasts.
giving parties...
:09:31
spending the mortgage money
on frivolities.
:09:34
One might say that December
is the foreclosure season.
:09:39
Harvest time for the moneylenders.
:09:42
- Hey. Boss. Ask him.
- Tell him. Mr Cratchit.
:09:44
- Come on. Do it now. Boss.
- Uh. If you please. Mr Scrooge...
:09:48
it's gotten colder.
and the bookkeeping staff...
:09:51
would like to have an extra
shovelful of coal for the fire.
:09:53
- We can't do the bookkeeping.
- Yeah. All of our pens
have turned to ink-cicles.
:09:56
Our assets are frozen!
:09:58
How would the bookkeepers like
to be suddenly unemployed?
