:12:01
- He's very generous to charities.
- My dear nephew!
:12:04
At this festive season
of the year. Mr Scrooge...
:12:08
many of us feel that we must take care
of our poor and homeless.
:12:12
And are there no prisons?
No poorhouses?
:12:15
Oh. Plenty of those. Sir.
:12:17
Oh! Excellent!
For a moment. I was worried.
:12:20
Some of us are endeavouring to raise
a fund for the poor and the homeless.
:12:25
What might I put you down for?
:12:27
- Nothing.
- You wish to remain anonymous?
:12:29
I wish to be left alone.
:12:32
I do not make merry
myself at Christmas.
:12:34
- That certainly is true.
- And I cannot afford
to make idle people merry.
:12:37
That is certainly not true.
:12:39
Don't you have other things to do
this afternoon. My dear nephew?
:12:41
Sadly. I do. Uncle.
So I shall make my donation...
:12:45
and leave you to make yours.
:12:47
Thank you so very much.
:12:49
Oh. Uncle. Come and have Christmas
dinner with me and Clara tomorrow.
:12:53
- Why ever did you get married?
- Why? Because I fell in love.
:12:59
That's the only thing in the world
sillier than a merry Christmas.
:13:02
It's no use. Uncle. I shall keep
my Christmas humour to the last.
:13:05
A merry Christmas to you
and a happy New Year.
:13:08
- Merry Christmas. Fred.
- Merry Christmas. Bob.
:13:11
Humbug!
:13:23
Now. Then. Sir.
about the donation?
:13:28
Well. Now. Let's see.
:13:33
I know how to treat the poor.
:13:36
My taxes go to pay
for the prisons and the poorhouses.
:13:39
- The homeless must go there.
- But some would rather die.
:13:42
If they'd rather die.
then they'd better do it...
:13:44
and decrease the surplus population!
:13:47
Oh. Dear. Oh. Dear.
:13:49
- Oh. Dear. Oh. Dear.
- This is the door. You may use it.
:13:53
All right. Beaker. Come along.
:13:54
I think we've taken enough
of Mr Scrooge's time.
:13:59
Oh. Dear. Dear. Dear.
