00:00:50.927 --> 00:00:53.888
<i>Oh, hurry up,
Mr. Dickens!</i>

00:00:55.932 --> 00:00:57.225
<i>Come on, Dickens!</i>

00:00:57.308 --> 00:00:58.727
<i>Come on, Charlie!</i>

00:01:00.228 --> 00:01:02.021
<i>We want Charles!</i>

00:01:03.189 --> 00:01:04.983
<i>I want to see Charles!</i>

00:01:30.133 --> 00:01:31.176
<i>My Dear Forster,</i>

00:01:31.259 --> 00:01:33.303
<i>how can I give you
the faintest notion</i>

00:01:33.386 --> 00:01:35.638
<i>of my reception here
in America?</i>

00:01:35.722 --> 00:01:37.474
Five minutes.

00:01:37.557 --> 00:01:38.558
Five minutes.

00:01:38.641 --> 00:01:42.020
<i>Of the crowds that
pour in and out the whole day,</i>

00:01:42.103 --> 00:01:44.689
<i>of the people that line
the streets when I go out.</i>

00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:54.783
Places, please. Places!

00:01:54.866 --> 00:01:56.075
Hello, Charlie.

00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.621
<i>Of the balls, dinners,
speeches,</i>

00:01:59.704 --> 00:02:02.207
<i>parties,
assemblies without end.</i>

00:02:03.041 --> 00:02:04.667
<i>There never was a king
or emperor</i>

00:02:04.751 --> 00:02:06.252
<i>upon the Earth so cheered.</i>

00:02:08.880 --> 00:02:10.632
Tonight,

00:02:10.715 --> 00:02:12.634
live on stage...
Ready?

00:02:12.717 --> 00:02:15.678
The great magician
of our time...

00:02:15.762 --> 00:02:18.640
Ready.
Whose wand is a book!

00:02:18.723 --> 00:02:20.892
The Shakespeare of the novel.

00:02:21.392 --> 00:02:22.977
The people's author.

00:02:23.061 --> 00:02:26.815
The great and marvelous Boz!

00:02:26.898 --> 00:02:33.321
Ladies and gentlemen,
Mr. Charles Dickens!

00:02:39.494 --> 00:02:40.495
Thank you!

00:02:40.578 --> 00:02:41.579
Thank you!

00:02:49.546 --> 00:02:50.547
Hey there, Boz!

00:02:52.215 --> 00:02:54.676
Dear friends! Dear friends!

00:02:54.968 --> 00:02:56.845
You have welcomed me
to your country

00:02:56.928 --> 00:02:59.055
with such open arms
that I fear I...

00:02:59.138 --> 00:03:00.723
Oh!

00:03:09.899 --> 00:03:11.860
<i>Americans are friendly,</i>

00:03:12.610 --> 00:03:15.113
<i>earnest, hospitable,</i>

00:03:15.488 --> 00:03:21.035
<i>kind, frank, accomplished,
warmhearted, fervent</i>

00:03:21.119 --> 00:03:23.454
<i>and enthusiastic.</i>

00:03:25.373 --> 00:03:27.208
<i>I can't wait to get home.</i>

00:04:53.127 --> 00:04:54.587
Mrs. Fisk,

00:04:54.671 --> 00:04:55.797
I have told you repeatedly

00:04:55.880 --> 00:04:57.840
not to disturb me
when I am working.

00:05:00.843 --> 00:05:02.637
Oh, I beg your pardon, sir.

00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:04.430
Only, Mr. Forster is here.

00:05:04.514 --> 00:05:06.015
Oh, Forster... Yes, of course.

00:05:06.099 --> 00:05:08.059
As you can see, Mr. Forster,

00:05:08.142 --> 00:05:10.561
we're having all-new
wallpaper put in, French,

00:05:10.770 --> 00:05:13.064
new doors, new door knocker,

00:05:13.147 --> 00:05:14.524
new roller blinds
for the windows,

00:05:14.607 --> 00:05:16.776
new bookcases in the library,

00:05:16.859 --> 00:05:21.280
a new chandelier, all chosen
by Charles, of course.

00:05:21.364 --> 00:05:23.366
And the staircase
is to be painted green.

00:05:23.449 --> 00:05:25.209
Though, not too dull a green,
<i>Signor</i> Mazzini.

00:05:27.620 --> 00:05:28.621
You know how Charles is.

00:05:28.913 --> 00:05:30.665
Only the best for Mr. Dickens.

00:05:30.748 --> 00:05:31.749
Yes.

00:05:32.375 --> 00:05:36.129
Mr. Forster,
if you'll allow me,

00:05:36.212 --> 00:05:38.107
how do things stand
between you and Miss Wigmore?

00:05:38.131 --> 00:05:39.799
Oh, splendid, Mrs. Dickens.

00:05:39.882 --> 00:05:42.885
In fact, I intend to
ask her to bestow upon me

00:05:42.969 --> 00:05:45.054
the greatest happiness
a man can ever know.

00:05:47.807 --> 00:05:48.891
Well, to marry me.

00:05:48.975 --> 00:05:50.476
Oh!

00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:52.478
Oh, I'm very glad
to hear that.

00:05:52.562 --> 00:05:53.922
Forster!
Forster, Forster,

00:05:53.980 --> 00:05:55.565
Forster. So sorry.

00:05:55.648 --> 00:05:57.608
I completely
lost track of the time.

00:05:57.692 --> 00:05:58.985
Shall we?
Charles.

00:05:59.068 --> 00:06:00.348
You need to pay
<i>Signor</i> Mazzini...

00:06:00.403 --> 00:06:02.572
Hmm?
...for the parlor mantle.

00:06:02.655 --> 00:06:04.907
How much?
£75.

00:06:04.991 --> 00:06:07.535
£75? What's it made of, gold?

00:06:08.161 --> 00:06:11.414
Carrara marble, <i>Signore.</i>
Finest quality.

00:06:11.497 --> 00:06:13.332
No gentleman
would accept less.

00:06:13.416 --> 00:06:15.418
No. Well, quite.

00:06:15.501 --> 00:06:17.003
Well, I will have
the money for you

00:06:17.086 --> 00:06:18.880
when I return,
<i>Signor</i> Mazzini.

00:06:20.381 --> 00:06:21.591
Good day, Mrs. Dickens.

00:06:22.175 --> 00:06:23.760
Good day, Mr. Forster.

00:06:29.265 --> 00:06:31.100
Ah! Come in!

00:06:31.184 --> 00:06:33.019
Goodbye, little strangers!

00:06:33.102 --> 00:06:34.103
Bye!

00:06:34.187 --> 00:06:35.855
Say goodbye to Mr. Forster,
children!

00:06:35.938 --> 00:06:37.148
Bye!

00:06:38.900 --> 00:06:39.984
I'll hail us a cab.

00:06:40.068 --> 00:06:41.788
What? No, it's a waste
of money. We'll walk.

00:06:41.861 --> 00:06:43.780
It's damned expensive
being a gentleman.

00:06:43.863 --> 00:06:45.448
Forster, this meeting...

00:06:45.531 --> 00:06:46.866
Aye! I know my job.

00:06:46.949 --> 00:06:48.284
Good. And the money?

00:06:48.367 --> 00:06:49.595
Leave the publishers to me.

00:06:49.619 --> 00:06:50.620
Good.

00:06:51.579 --> 00:06:52.747
Slow down!

00:06:52.830 --> 00:06:54.165
What's the hurry?

00:06:58.419 --> 00:06:59.855
Charles bloody Dickens, huh?

00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:01.255
The best-selling bloody author

00:07:01.339 --> 00:07:03.382
in the history
of English bloody literature.

00:07:03.466 --> 00:07:04.926
Three of his books
you have published

00:07:05.009 --> 00:07:06.129
in the last year and a half.

00:07:06.177 --> 00:07:07.303
Three.

00:07:07.386 --> 00:07:08.721
So, where's the money?

00:07:08.805 --> 00:07:11.140
Mr. Forster, like you,
we are as puzzled

00:07:11.224 --> 00:07:12.683
as the Egyptians in their fog.

00:07:13.017 --> 00:07:14.727
- How's that?
- Martin Chuzzlewit,

00:07:14.811 --> 00:07:18.397
a masterpiece of the
picaresque genre, and yet...

00:07:18.481 --> 00:07:19.816
<i>Barnaby Rudge,</i>
a fine book,

00:07:19.899 --> 00:07:20.983
an important subject,

00:07:21.067 --> 00:07:22.527
but, alas...

00:07:22.610 --> 00:07:24.862
And the travel book,
<i>American Notes...</i>

00:07:24.946 --> 00:07:27.532
Perhaps a little too candid
for our American cousins.

00:07:27.615 --> 00:07:28.655
No joke. I heard they were

00:07:28.699 --> 00:07:30.059
burning copies of it
in the street.

00:07:31.410 --> 00:07:33.663
Well, they're mad as snakes,
the Yanks.

00:07:34.372 --> 00:07:36.082
But what about
this £50-a-month

00:07:36.165 --> 00:07:37.643
you're withholding
from his royalties?

00:07:37.667 --> 00:07:39.043
What is the explanation
for that?

00:07:39.127 --> 00:07:40.920
You may remember
that when Mr. Dickens

00:07:41.003 --> 00:07:42.797
approached us about
the tour to America,

00:07:42.880 --> 00:07:45.258
we were pleased to provide him
with an interest-free loan.

00:07:45.341 --> 00:07:47.677
With the provision that,
in the unlikely case of

00:07:47.760 --> 00:07:50.805
profits being inadequate
to certain repayments...

00:07:50.888 --> 00:07:52.431
What? So, he's had
a couple of flops?

00:07:52.515 --> 00:07:54.058
Ah, well, who hasn't, huh?

00:07:54.142 --> 00:07:56.262
Your publishing house wouldn't
exist without this man.

00:07:56.310 --> 00:07:58.062
What about an advance?

00:07:59.063 --> 00:08:01.107
On?
A new book.

00:08:02.108 --> 00:08:03.693
You have a new book in mind?

00:08:05.945 --> 00:08:07.989
Yes, of course he does.

00:08:08.072 --> 00:08:09.824
Well, in that case,

00:08:09.907 --> 00:08:11.909
I mean, we'd obviously
love to consider it.

00:08:11.993 --> 00:08:12.994
Consider?

00:08:13.077 --> 00:08:14.437
That is to say
if we like it.

00:08:15.746 --> 00:08:16.747
If?

00:08:16.831 --> 00:08:18.624
I'm sure that we will.

00:08:21.294 --> 00:08:22.628
Gentlemen, I bid you good day.

00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:24.080
Mr. Forster, please,

00:08:24.130 --> 00:08:25.923
we had no intention
of causing offense.

00:08:26.132 --> 00:08:27.675
Well, he's in a fettle now.

00:08:28.551 --> 00:08:29.969
I'll give him a day
to calm down.

00:08:30.052 --> 00:08:32.513
And then, it's most awkward...

00:08:32.597 --> 00:08:37.226
He was in last week,
in some difficulty...

00:08:37.310 --> 00:08:38.477
Again.

00:08:38.561 --> 00:08:40.330
No, no, that's not possible.
He's in the countryside.

00:08:40.354 --> 00:08:42.690
He's under strict instructions
to remain there.

00:08:45.651 --> 00:08:47.028
What is it this time?

00:08:57.121 --> 00:08:58.581
"I need money immediately

00:08:58.664 --> 00:09:00.017
"or productive
of fatal consequences,

00:09:00.041 --> 00:09:02.585
"I beseech you
to do the needful..."

00:09:03.044 --> 00:09:05.087
He's been offering
Mr. Dickens' autographs

00:09:05.171 --> 00:09:07.089
for sale in the newspapers.

00:09:12.136 --> 00:09:13.221
How much did you give him?

00:09:13.387 --> 00:09:14.680
45, all told.

00:09:15.806 --> 00:09:16.849
45?

00:09:18.893 --> 00:09:21.395
Well, I'll pay it all back.

00:09:22.271 --> 00:09:24.111
But not a word of this
to Charles, do you hear?

00:09:39.205 --> 00:09:40.456
"What's the secret," they say.

00:09:40.539 --> 00:09:42.500
"What's the..." There is
no secret. I sit down...

00:09:44.961 --> 00:09:46.671
Charles.
What are you doing here?

00:09:46.754 --> 00:09:49.006
I'm hiding from Thackeray.

00:09:49.090 --> 00:09:51.175
They absolutely come
pouring out of me...

00:09:51.259 --> 00:09:52.718
He'll no doubt
want to commiserate me

00:09:52.802 --> 00:09:53.844
on my <i>Chuzzlewit</i> reviews.

00:09:53.928 --> 00:09:56.055
Which he will quote by heart.

00:09:56.138 --> 00:09:57.390
Come on.

00:10:07.692 --> 00:10:11.112
I'm clammin'
for some scran.

00:10:11.195 --> 00:10:12.238
Where's Robertson?

00:10:12.321 --> 00:10:13.447
Why do we come here, hmm?

00:10:13.531 --> 00:10:14.907
The service is terrible.

00:10:14.991 --> 00:10:17.410
The food is inedible.
The fees keep going up.

00:10:18.035 --> 00:10:19.245
It's full of...

00:10:24.083 --> 00:10:25.126
Gentlemen?

00:10:25.501 --> 00:10:26.752
You're not Robertson.

00:10:26.836 --> 00:10:28.921
The name is Marley, sir.

00:10:29.839 --> 00:10:31.674
Marley? Marley with an "E"?

00:10:31.966 --> 00:10:32.967
Yes, sir.

00:10:33.050 --> 00:10:34.135
Hmm.

00:10:34.885 --> 00:10:37.513
Oh, don't worry.
He collects names.

00:10:37.596 --> 00:10:40.099
I will have some oysters
and a bottle of champagne.

00:10:40.182 --> 00:10:41.517
Very good, sir.

00:10:43.060 --> 00:10:44.270
Champagne?

00:10:44.353 --> 00:10:46.522
- We're celebrating.
- Celebrating?

00:10:46.605 --> 00:10:49.483
Hello, Thackeray.
How are you?

00:10:49.567 --> 00:10:50.609
Tolerable.

00:10:50.693 --> 00:10:51.902
I thank ye.

00:10:51.986 --> 00:10:53.029
Charles, I must say

00:10:53.112 --> 00:10:54.905
I am relieved to see you
out and about.

00:10:55.364 --> 00:10:56.449
"Relieved"?

00:10:56.532 --> 00:10:58.326
You know,
after those vile things

00:10:58.409 --> 00:10:59.618
they wrote about <i>Chuzzlewit.</i>

00:10:59.702 --> 00:11:01.203
I won't even
call them reviews.

00:11:02.371 --> 00:11:04.540
No matter. I never read them.
Quite right.

00:11:04.623 --> 00:11:07.543
Scandalous what one is allowed
to print nowadays.

00:11:16.135 --> 00:11:17.303
Go on. What did they say?

00:11:17.386 --> 00:11:20.181
"Dull, vapid and vulgar...

00:11:20.848 --> 00:11:22.308
"Not a single character

00:11:22.391 --> 00:11:25.770
"capable of exciting
the reader's sympathies."

00:11:25.853 --> 00:11:27.646
I certainly didn't think
it was vulgar.

00:11:29.690 --> 00:11:30.941
Oh, look. There's Macready.

00:11:31.025 --> 00:11:32.234
Poor thing. His <i>Macbeth</i>

00:11:32.318 --> 00:11:34.320
was absolutely shredded
in <i>The Times.</i>

00:11:34.403 --> 00:11:36.113
I must go and give him
my condolences.

00:11:40.826 --> 00:11:42.370
I'm sick of London.

00:11:42.661 --> 00:11:44.205
It's over-crowded,
overpriced...

00:11:44.288 --> 00:11:45.539
You love this town.

00:11:45.623 --> 00:11:46.850
No place for a man
without money,

00:11:46.874 --> 00:11:48.334
not to mention
the bloody fog.

00:11:48.417 --> 00:11:49.457
But it's your inspiration.

00:11:49.502 --> 00:11:50.782
It's your...
What do you call it?

00:11:50.836 --> 00:11:52.129
Your magic lantern.

00:11:58.260 --> 00:11:59.363
Well, I tell you,
Forster,

00:11:59.387 --> 00:12:00.388
my lamp's gone out.

00:12:00.471 --> 00:12:02.056
I've run out of ideas.

00:12:02.139 --> 00:12:04.100
I feel old.

00:12:07.186 --> 00:12:08.396
Old? You're a puppy.

00:12:10.064 --> 00:12:12.942
You're exhausted, that's all.
Too many speeches.

00:12:13.025 --> 00:12:15.236
I've got another one tomorrow
for the Children's Refuge.

00:12:15.319 --> 00:12:16.904
Well, you have
to learn to say no.

00:12:16.987 --> 00:12:19.365
How can I say no,
if I can be useful?

00:12:19.448 --> 00:12:21.075
If I can lighten
the burden of another?

00:12:21.158 --> 00:12:22.159
Well, you have to,

00:12:22.243 --> 00:12:23.720
what with your new commission
to think about.

00:12:23.744 --> 00:12:25.037
Forster,
I just told you that...

00:12:25.121 --> 00:12:26.664
Sorry, new commission?

00:12:26.747 --> 00:12:28.916
It's from Chapman and Hall,
for your new book.

00:12:28.999 --> 00:12:31.127
I've told them you'll have
the first chapter done

00:12:31.210 --> 00:12:32.253
by the end of the year.

00:12:32.336 --> 00:12:33.337
You like a deadline.

00:12:35.005 --> 00:12:36.400
Do you mind telling me
what it's about?

00:12:36.424 --> 00:12:37.883
I'll leave that up to you.

00:13:30.561 --> 00:13:33.564
...and on Christmas Eve,
they say,

00:13:33.647 --> 00:13:35.649
the fairy mounds open wide,

00:13:35.733 --> 00:13:38.652
and the fire spirits
pour into the night,

00:13:38.736 --> 00:13:41.405
and then, the Lord of the Dead

00:13:41.489 --> 00:13:44.658
leads all of the spirits
into a Wild Hunt.

00:13:44.742 --> 00:13:46.243
And he calls to them...

00:14:10.017 --> 00:14:11.227
Do we have a new housemaid?

00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:13.187
What? Oh.

00:14:13.521 --> 00:14:14.939
Yes. Tara.

00:14:15.022 --> 00:14:16.232
She's Irish.

00:14:16.690 --> 00:14:18.442
Charley adores her.

00:14:22.947 --> 00:14:24.406
What are you doing?

00:14:25.574 --> 00:14:27.910
It was only a stub.
There's another hour in that.

00:14:27.993 --> 00:14:29.995
Oh, really, Charles?
If you carry on like this,

00:14:30.079 --> 00:14:31.223
we'll end up
in the poor house.

00:14:31.247 --> 00:14:33.082
You are funny.
I'm not joking.

00:14:33.499 --> 00:14:34.583
Charles!

00:14:34.959 --> 00:14:37.711
You give money to every
and any beggar in the street.

00:14:38.087 --> 00:14:39.527
You insist we move
to a bigger house,

00:14:39.588 --> 00:14:41.715
and order in all new fixtures,

00:14:42.091 --> 00:14:43.691
and then you complain
about a new candle.

00:14:43.717 --> 00:14:44.885
Debt is an ogre, Kate.

00:14:44.969 --> 00:14:47.263
If you're not careful,
it can eat you up.

00:14:49.723 --> 00:14:51.433
Are we in trouble?

00:14:51.517 --> 00:14:52.935
No, of course not.

00:14:54.228 --> 00:14:55.563
Then what?

00:14:56.730 --> 00:14:57.898
Nothing.

00:14:58.983 --> 00:15:00.484
I'm just sick of writing

00:15:00.568 --> 00:15:02.611
tooth and nail for bread,
that's all.

00:15:03.612 --> 00:15:04.780
Hmm.

00:15:04.947 --> 00:15:06.323
I should have
become a journalist.

00:15:06.407 --> 00:15:08.867
You hate the press.
Or a lawyer.

00:15:08.951 --> 00:15:12.329
"The law is an ass."
I believe you wrote that.

00:15:12.413 --> 00:15:15.332
A hairdresser then.
In the Burlington Arcade.

00:15:16.417 --> 00:15:18.502
Do you know what I should
have liked to be?

00:15:18.586 --> 00:15:20.462
An explorer.

00:15:20.546 --> 00:15:23.882
Paddling a canoe somewhere
in the wilds of Canada.

00:15:23.966 --> 00:15:26.885
In a pair
of buckskin breeches.

00:15:26.969 --> 00:15:28.679
All on my own.

00:15:28.762 --> 00:15:30.848
No nappies to change.

00:15:36.437 --> 00:15:38.022
By the way, dear...

00:15:39.106 --> 00:15:40.983
I saw the doctor today.

00:15:46.572 --> 00:15:48.699
Not another little stranger?

00:15:48.782 --> 00:15:50.701
Are you pleased?

00:15:50.784 --> 00:15:52.202
Well, of course.

00:15:56.040 --> 00:15:58.167
Well, that's splendid.
Yes.

00:16:10.888 --> 00:16:13.932
I am a necromancer.

00:16:16.518 --> 00:16:17.936
Behold.

00:16:34.536 --> 00:16:35.537
And now...

00:16:50.386 --> 00:16:52.054
Charlie...

00:16:52.137 --> 00:16:54.306
Charlie, it's all right.

00:16:54.556 --> 00:16:55.891
I'm here.

00:17:13.992 --> 00:17:16.495
Mistress Chickenstalker!

00:17:17.246 --> 00:17:18.330
Mistress Chickenstalker,

00:17:18.414 --> 00:17:19.665
what has happened
to your pinny?

00:17:19.748 --> 00:17:21.667
You look as if you've been
caught in a cyclone.

00:17:21.750 --> 00:17:23.001
That's much better.

00:17:23.210 --> 00:17:26.505
Master Corporal Skittles, sir.
On your feet, sir!

00:17:33.512 --> 00:17:36.849
Ah. Lucifer Box.

00:17:38.142 --> 00:17:39.226
Would you do me the honor?

00:17:41.603 --> 00:17:42.646
Good.

00:17:43.105 --> 00:17:47.359
Ah, the Snodgering Blee,
we meet at last.

00:17:47.985 --> 00:17:48.986
What's this?

00:17:49.486 --> 00:17:52.823
You have forgotten
to wash behind your ear.

00:17:52.906 --> 00:17:54.074
Cor!

00:17:54.408 --> 00:17:55.868
Now you must be...

00:17:55.951 --> 00:17:57.578
Don't, don't, don't,
don't tell me.

00:17:58.579 --> 00:18:00.139
Who is that?
Tara.

00:18:00.164 --> 00:18:02.249
Tara! Of course.

00:18:02.332 --> 00:18:04.334
I see you've made a conquest.

00:18:04.418 --> 00:18:07.129
What was that wonderful story
I overheard you telling

00:18:07.212 --> 00:18:09.715
about fairy mounds
and the fire spirits?

00:18:09.798 --> 00:18:12.885
Only a story my gran
used to tell us, sir,

00:18:12.968 --> 00:18:14.553
back home in Ireland.

00:18:14.636 --> 00:18:16.722
She used to say that,
on Christmas Eve,

00:18:16.805 --> 00:18:20.058
the veils between this world
and the next thin out.

00:18:20.142 --> 00:18:22.352
And that's when the spirits
cross over

00:18:22.436 --> 00:18:24.188
and walk among us.

00:18:25.355 --> 00:18:26.690
Do they indeed?

00:18:28.108 --> 00:18:29.568
Well, well, well.

00:18:30.444 --> 00:18:31.945
Christmas Eve.

00:18:40.579 --> 00:18:42.456
Thank you so much
for coming.

00:18:42.539 --> 00:18:44.583
Such an interesting speech.

00:18:44.666 --> 00:18:46.001
Thank you very much.

00:18:46.543 --> 00:18:47.795
Your hat, sir.

00:18:47.878 --> 00:18:48.921
Thank you.

00:18:49.004 --> 00:18:51.632
Oh, Mr. Dickens, it's such
an honor to meet you.

00:18:51.715 --> 00:18:53.175
We just adore your books.

00:18:53.258 --> 00:18:55.219
No, we don't.
Well, I love them.

00:18:55.302 --> 00:18:57.387
Nonsense.
You just like a good cry.

00:18:58.055 --> 00:19:00.682
What is it you particularly
object to in my books?

00:19:00.766 --> 00:19:03.894
Pickpockets, streetwalkers,
charity boys.

00:19:03.977 --> 00:19:05.813
Those people
don't belong in books.

00:19:05.896 --> 00:19:07.856
"Those people"?
You mean, the poor?

00:19:07.940 --> 00:19:09.691
Look here, Mr. Dickens.

00:19:09.775 --> 00:19:10.901
I'm a self-made man.

00:19:10.984 --> 00:19:12.820
Pulled myself up
by my own bootstraps.

00:19:12.903 --> 00:19:14.571
Never asked for anything
from anyone

00:19:14.655 --> 00:19:16.406
that I wasn't willing
to pay for.

00:19:16.490 --> 00:19:17.658
Really?

00:19:17.741 --> 00:19:19.451
No help from anyone?
None.

00:19:19.535 --> 00:19:20.828
Well, Papa did give us

00:19:20.911 --> 00:19:23.914
a very small cotton mill
when we were married.

00:19:26.041 --> 00:19:28.836
What do you suggest we do
with "those people", hmm?

00:19:28.919 --> 00:19:30.337
Are there no workhouses?

00:19:33.006 --> 00:19:34.067
Do you know how many people

00:19:34.091 --> 00:19:35.276
would rather die
than go there?

00:19:35.300 --> 00:19:36.760
Then they had better do it

00:19:36.844 --> 00:19:39.555
and reduce
the surplus population.

00:19:44.893 --> 00:19:46.854
Can you spare
a farthing, please?

00:19:56.488 --> 00:19:57.948
Care to buy, sir?

00:19:58.490 --> 00:19:59.992
Hard workers.

00:20:02.786 --> 00:20:04.037
Fit any chimney.

00:20:04.621 --> 00:20:05.831
You f...

00:20:13.714 --> 00:20:15.549
Quickly!
Come on, in here.

00:20:18.760 --> 00:20:20.554
Down here, now!

00:20:22.890 --> 00:20:24.266
- Come on!
- No!

00:20:33.901 --> 00:20:37.070
I lift mine eyes
unto the hills

00:20:37.154 --> 00:20:38.697
from whence cometh my help.

00:20:40.157 --> 00:20:42.826
My help cometh
even from the Lord

00:20:42.951 --> 00:20:45.203
who hath made
heaven and earth...

00:20:45.287 --> 00:20:46.347
All right. All right,

00:20:46.371 --> 00:20:47.623
I'm not paying you
by the hour.

00:20:47.915 --> 00:20:49.082
Skip to the end.

00:20:49.166 --> 00:20:50.602
Rest eternal,
grant to him, O Lord,

00:20:50.626 --> 00:20:52.103
and let light perpetual shine
upon him.

00:20:52.127 --> 00:20:53.607
- Yeah, amen. Amen.
- Amen.

00:20:54.129 --> 00:20:55.589
Shame, isn't it?

00:20:56.048 --> 00:20:57.692
All that money
and no one here to mourn him.

00:20:57.716 --> 00:20:59.092
Except Old Scratch there.

00:20:59.426 --> 00:21:01.678
Who's that?
His business partner.

00:21:01.970 --> 00:21:04.097
The meanest cur on two legs,
so they say.

00:21:04.181 --> 00:21:06.642
Aye, right. Come on.

00:21:46.765 --> 00:21:47.975
Humbug.

00:21:58.026 --> 00:21:59.236
"Humbug."

00:22:02.823 --> 00:22:04.950
"Are there no workhouses?

00:22:05.033 --> 00:22:06.326
"Then they had better do it

00:22:06.410 --> 00:22:08.537
"and decrease
the surplus population.

00:22:09.913 --> 00:22:12.874
"Old Scratch.
All that money. Shame."

00:22:14.584 --> 00:22:15.961
Good evening, sir.

00:22:17.254 --> 00:22:18.380
Yes, it is, Mrs. Fisk.

00:22:19.506 --> 00:22:20.674
- Charles?
- Humbug!

00:22:20.757 --> 00:22:23.593
Humbug! Humbug!

00:22:30.726 --> 00:22:33.186
<i>It's about a businessman
or a factory owner. A miser.</i>

00:22:33.603 --> 00:22:34.855
<i>His partner dies.</i>

00:22:35.188 --> 00:22:38.191
<i>He doesn't shed a tear.
He thinks only of the money.</i>

00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:39.735
<i>And on Christmas Eve...</i>

00:22:39.818 --> 00:22:43.321
On Christmas Eve,
he meets some kind of... Of...

00:22:43.405 --> 00:22:47.075
Of supernatural guides,
or spirits, possibly,

00:22:47.159 --> 00:22:48.618
who, in the course
of one night,

00:22:48.702 --> 00:22:52.914
teach him what a miserable,
loathsome, selfish toad he is.

00:22:53.248 --> 00:22:55.333
It's a short book.
Short and sharp.

00:22:56.126 --> 00:22:57.419
A hammer blow to the heart

00:22:57.502 --> 00:23:00.213
of this smug,
self-satisfied age.

00:23:06.178 --> 00:23:07.179
It's a comedy.

00:23:07.262 --> 00:23:08.305
Ah. Ah-ha!

00:23:08.388 --> 00:23:09.389
Brilliant.

00:23:11.975 --> 00:23:12.976
Does it have a title?

00:23:13.226 --> 00:23:14.478
Yes.

00:23:14.644 --> 00:23:16.563
<i>Humbug: A Miser's Lament.</i>

00:23:20.025 --> 00:23:22.360
<i>A Christmas Ghost Story,
Christmas Song...</i>

00:23:22.569 --> 00:23:23.880
<i>Christmas Ballad,</i>
something like that.

00:23:23.904 --> 00:23:27.407
Intriguing, really.
Just one question.

00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:29.534
Why Christmas?

00:23:30.702 --> 00:23:31.703
Well, why not?

00:23:31.787 --> 00:23:33.347
Does anybody
really celebrate it anymore,

00:23:33.371 --> 00:23:34.372
apart from our clerk,

00:23:34.456 --> 00:23:36.083
who never misses
an opportunity

00:23:36.166 --> 00:23:38.126
to take a day off with pay?

00:23:38.335 --> 00:23:39.753
More or less
an opportunity

00:23:39.836 --> 00:23:41.088
for picking a man's pocket

00:23:41.171 --> 00:23:43.423
every 25th of December.

00:23:43.507 --> 00:23:46.051
What we mean to say,
Mr. Dickens, is

00:23:46.134 --> 00:23:49.054
not much of a market
for Christmas books... What?

00:23:53.934 --> 00:23:55.936
It is a Christmas book
because Christmas is,

00:23:56.019 --> 00:23:58.396
or ought to be,
the one time of year

00:23:58.688 --> 00:24:02.484
when men and women
open their shut-up hearts

00:24:02.567 --> 00:24:03.795
and think of the people
below them

00:24:03.819 --> 00:24:06.321
as if they really were fellow
passengers to the grave,

00:24:06.404 --> 00:24:08.406
and not another race
of creatures altogether.

00:24:08.490 --> 00:24:10.617
We are already
halfway through October.

00:24:10.700 --> 00:24:11.886
Even if you had
already written it,

00:24:11.910 --> 00:24:13.703
we couldn't possibly
get it illustrated,

00:24:13.787 --> 00:24:15.122
typeset, printed and bound,

00:24:15.205 --> 00:24:19.292
advertised and distributed
to shops in only six weeks.

00:24:21.962 --> 00:24:23.004
Well...

00:24:24.005 --> 00:24:25.674
Thank you for your opinion,
gentlemen.

00:24:25.757 --> 00:24:27.008
Mr. Dickens!

00:24:31.179 --> 00:24:32.973
Pull it up now.
That's it.

00:24:33.056 --> 00:24:35.642
Scaly-headed vultures.

00:24:35.725 --> 00:24:36.935
Money-grubbing,

00:24:37.018 --> 00:24:39.104
scum-sucking...
But, Charles...

00:24:39.187 --> 00:24:40.438
I'll do it myself.
What?

00:24:41.064 --> 00:24:43.358
I'll do it myself. I'll pay
for it myself, all of it.

00:24:43.441 --> 00:24:45.521
Illustrations, everything.
I'll distribute it myself.

00:24:45.652 --> 00:24:47.279
My dear Charles,
this is madness.

00:24:47.529 --> 00:24:48.905
Think of your finances, huh?

00:24:49.489 --> 00:24:50.883
Come on, we'll go back,
we'll renegotiate.

00:24:50.907 --> 00:24:52.993
No shame in it.
It's just business.

00:24:53.577 --> 00:24:56.121
Why throw everything away
for a minor holiday?

00:24:56.204 --> 00:24:57.539
I've never felt so strongly

00:24:57.622 --> 00:24:59.499
about anything
in my life, John.

00:24:59.583 --> 00:25:01.209
You can help me or not.
As you wish.

00:25:01.334 --> 00:25:03.104
Well, where are you off to?
Going to raise some capital.

00:25:03.128 --> 00:25:04.129
Eh?

00:25:04.212 --> 00:25:05.314
One thing I've learned
from my father,

00:25:05.338 --> 00:25:07.924
people will believe anything
if you're properly dressed.

00:25:08.008 --> 00:25:10.719
Mr. Trabb!
Your finest cravats!

00:25:18.643 --> 00:25:19.895
Ah.

00:25:20.645 --> 00:25:22.480
Nothing like the air
of the metropolis

00:25:22.564 --> 00:25:24.816
to put color in your cheeks,
eh, Mother?

00:25:36.203 --> 00:25:37.245
There you are, sir.

00:25:37.329 --> 00:25:40.081
Best quality.
A1 condition.

00:25:40.165 --> 00:25:42.292
And look inside.

00:25:42.375 --> 00:25:44.544
Autographed by the author.

00:25:46.755 --> 00:25:49.299
"To Papa. Love, Charles."

00:25:52.219 --> 00:25:53.303
Five bob.

00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:57.140
'Allo, old dog.

00:25:59.935 --> 00:26:02.896
Perhaps we could, um,
strike a bargain.

00:26:03.188 --> 00:26:05.482
'Allo.
Good with children, is it?

00:26:14.449 --> 00:26:15.575
Too much?

00:26:17.410 --> 00:26:20.956
Mr. Dickens
and Mr. Forster.

00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:22.415
How do you?

00:26:23.250 --> 00:26:25.627
Very well, thank you,
Mr. Haddock.

00:26:26.419 --> 00:26:28.046
Mittens...

00:26:29.714 --> 00:26:31.716
You are a bad boy.

00:26:40.976 --> 00:26:44.229
Now, how may I
be of service to you?

00:26:44.437 --> 00:26:45.997
Well, sir, you see,
it's about the loan.

00:26:46.064 --> 00:26:48.942
There was something I wanted
to tell you. What was it?

00:26:50.777 --> 00:26:52.570
Yeah, it was some
rather good news,

00:26:52.654 --> 00:26:54.155
if I recall correctly.

00:26:54.239 --> 00:26:55.282
What, uh...

00:26:55.949 --> 00:26:57.117
Ah!

00:26:59.744 --> 00:27:00.829
Biscuit?

00:27:01.454 --> 00:27:02.539
Well...

00:27:02.998 --> 00:27:03.999
Thank you.

00:27:08.420 --> 00:27:09.421
Hmm.

00:27:10.630 --> 00:27:11.673
Ah.

00:27:11.756 --> 00:27:14.050
Uh... Yes...

00:27:14.134 --> 00:27:16.011
Now what was I, uh... What...

00:27:16.886 --> 00:27:20.265
Uh, you said something
about good news?

00:27:20.473 --> 00:27:22.183
Possibly about the lawsuit?

00:27:22.267 --> 00:27:24.644
The lawsuit...

00:27:24.978 --> 00:27:26.604
Yes,
the copyright infringement.

00:27:26.688 --> 00:27:27.856
Yeah, <i>Oliver Twisted.</i>

00:27:28.106 --> 00:27:29.649
"As re-originated
from the original."

00:27:29.733 --> 00:27:30.984
Yes! Ah! I have it here.

00:27:32.193 --> 00:27:33.445
Uh...

00:27:33.528 --> 00:27:34.946
Oh, yes.

00:27:35.739 --> 00:27:37.365
Good news indeed.

00:27:37.991 --> 00:27:38.992
We won.

00:27:39.534 --> 00:27:41.745
The fine was set at £2,200.

00:27:41.953 --> 00:27:43.955
£2,200...

00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:46.708
The bad news is
the defendants have no money.

00:27:46.791 --> 00:27:48.918
Ha.
Bankrupt.

00:27:49.753 --> 00:27:51.755
Disappointing, I know.

00:27:54.132 --> 00:27:55.292
But we'll have them arrested,

00:27:55.342 --> 00:27:56.760
throw them
in a debtor's prison.

00:27:56.843 --> 00:27:58.011
No! No, no, no.

00:27:58.970 --> 00:28:00.221
No?

00:28:01.264 --> 00:28:02.640
As you wish.

00:28:03.850 --> 00:28:07.228
In the meantime,
if you would be so good...

00:28:15.987 --> 00:28:17.655
Here's my bill.

00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:24.412
No rush.

00:28:24.496 --> 00:28:26.373
Next week will be fine.

00:28:26.456 --> 00:28:27.791
Hmm.

00:28:27.874 --> 00:28:28.875
Tell you what.

00:28:28.958 --> 00:28:32.295
Why don't we defer this
until January?

00:28:32.379 --> 00:28:33.463
And while we're at it,

00:28:33.546 --> 00:28:35.548
perhaps you might
add a little bit more.

00:28:35.840 --> 00:28:37.217
I'll make it worth your while.

00:28:37.300 --> 00:28:38.426
More?

00:28:41.346 --> 00:28:43.515
You wish to borrow more?

00:28:46.184 --> 00:28:48.019
Not very much, just...

00:28:49.104 --> 00:28:50.814
£300.

00:28:50.897 --> 00:28:52.107
'Til January.

00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:55.068
I think we can
increase your loan at,

00:28:55.151 --> 00:28:58.196
shall we say, 25%?

00:28:58.780 --> 00:28:59.781
God's teeth!

00:29:01.491 --> 00:29:02.534
Thank you.

00:29:06.996 --> 00:29:09.165
Charles. Charles.

00:29:09.833 --> 00:29:11.668
Are you all right?
Yeah.

00:29:12.043 --> 00:29:13.086
Never better.

00:29:13.378 --> 00:29:15.630
Now, find me an illustrator.

00:29:22.470 --> 00:29:26.724
He was a tight-fisted,
"hand at the grindstone,"

00:29:26.808 --> 00:29:30.186
Old Scratch.

00:29:32.605 --> 00:29:35.316
Scrounger...

00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:40.029
He was
a covetous old sinner...

00:29:40.113 --> 00:29:41.448
Or a...

00:29:42.824 --> 00:29:44.284
Name!

00:29:45.535 --> 00:29:48.455
Screwpull... Scrabbly...

00:29:49.080 --> 00:29:50.206
Name!

00:29:50.832 --> 00:29:52.333
Well, go on. He won't bite.

00:29:52.417 --> 00:29:53.835
Screwpull...

00:30:15.857 --> 00:30:17.150
Scrimple!

00:30:17.233 --> 00:30:18.651
What... You're...

00:30:18.860 --> 00:30:19.920
What are you doing in here?

00:30:19.944 --> 00:30:21.821
I've just come
to see to the fire, sir.

00:30:21.905 --> 00:30:24.449
I'm not to be interrupted
under any circumstances!

00:30:24.532 --> 00:30:26.201
Do you hear?
I beg your pardon, sir.

00:30:26.284 --> 00:30:28.495
It won't happen again.

00:30:28.578 --> 00:30:29.858
Wait. What's that
in your pocket?

00:30:37.629 --> 00:30:40.673
<i>"Varney the Vampire
or, The Feast of Blood."</i>

00:30:40.882 --> 00:30:42.550
You won't tell Mrs. Fisk,
will ya?

00:30:42.634 --> 00:30:44.010
She'll think I was shirkin'.

00:30:44.969 --> 00:30:46.721
Where did you learn to read?

00:30:46.804 --> 00:30:47.889
My mum taught me.

00:30:48.681 --> 00:30:51.100
But then she died and I had
to go to the Grubber.

00:30:53.228 --> 00:30:54.270
The workhouse?

00:30:59.234 --> 00:31:01.611
Is it any good?
Well, yes, sir.

00:31:02.403 --> 00:31:03.404
Thrilling.

00:31:05.073 --> 00:31:06.908
Tell you what,

00:31:07.116 --> 00:31:08.409
I'll make you a trade.

00:31:11.704 --> 00:31:14.249
<i>Varney the Vampire</i> for...

00:31:14.749 --> 00:31:15.917
Where is it?

00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:18.461
Ah!

00:31:21.130 --> 00:31:23.132
<i>Aladdin and His Magic Lamp.</i>

00:31:23.216 --> 00:31:24.759
Oh, my.
Yeah.

00:31:25.009 --> 00:31:26.409
Read it. Let me know
what you think.

00:31:27.220 --> 00:31:28.429
Thank you, sir.

00:31:38.898 --> 00:31:40.275
Who is Scrimple?

00:31:40.525 --> 00:31:41.901
Hmm? Scrimple?

00:31:42.485 --> 00:31:44.028
When I came in,
you were saying...

00:31:44.112 --> 00:31:48.241
Oh, it's just a name
for a story I'm concocting.

00:31:48.449 --> 00:31:50.702
Get the name right
and then if you're lucky,

00:31:50.785 --> 00:31:52.495
the character will appear.

00:31:53.621 --> 00:31:54.622
Hmm.

00:31:55.790 --> 00:31:57.083
He's not here yet.

00:31:59.168 --> 00:32:01.921
Scrantish?

00:32:03.548 --> 00:32:06.342
S-c-rarmer...

00:32:08.303 --> 00:32:09.345
Come on.

00:32:09.429 --> 00:32:12.265
S-c-runge.

00:32:12.807 --> 00:32:15.977
Ah, come on.
Come on, you old sinner!

00:32:18.354 --> 00:32:19.689
Scrooge!

00:32:21.149 --> 00:32:22.900
Shut the window!

00:32:23.067 --> 00:32:24.861
Do you think
I'm made of money?

00:32:25.153 --> 00:32:26.696
Mr. Scrooge.

00:32:27.614 --> 00:32:29.365
How delightful
to meet you, sir.

00:32:29.574 --> 00:32:30.742
Sorry, I can't say the same.

00:32:31.326 --> 00:32:32.469
Come now.
Don't be standoffish.

00:32:32.493 --> 00:32:33.494
We ought to be friends.

00:32:33.578 --> 00:32:35.038
Don't have friends.
Don't need 'em.

00:32:35.663 --> 00:32:36.789
Huh. Naturally.

00:32:37.665 --> 00:32:38.708
I know. Let's play a game.

00:32:38.791 --> 00:32:41.085
Don't like games.
Humor me.

00:32:41.502 --> 00:32:44.047
What do you think of
when I say the word

00:32:45.340 --> 00:32:46.883
"darkness"?
Cheap.

00:32:48.217 --> 00:32:50.261
"Love."
Swindle.

00:32:51.804 --> 00:32:53.973
"Money."
Security.

00:32:55.475 --> 00:32:57.310
"Children."
Useless.

00:32:58.144 --> 00:32:59.937
"Workhouse."
Useful.

00:33:03.524 --> 00:33:04.817
"Christmas."

00:33:07.820 --> 00:33:09.155
"Christmas"?

00:33:10.490 --> 00:33:11.658
That's right.

00:33:15.953 --> 00:33:18.539
Help! Help!
Get it away!

00:33:20.958 --> 00:33:22.293
God!

00:33:22.669 --> 00:33:23.937
What is going on?

00:33:23.961 --> 00:33:25.588
Get it away, the filthy thing.

00:33:25.672 --> 00:33:26.857
Come on, Grip, old chap.

00:33:26.881 --> 00:33:28.049
Back in the cage.

00:33:28.132 --> 00:33:29.884
Father?
Ah.

00:33:29.967 --> 00:33:31.969
Charles. Good day.
What are you doing here?

00:33:32.053 --> 00:33:33.721
Well, we were
in the neighborhood,

00:33:33.805 --> 00:33:35.556
and we thought we'd drop by

00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:36.825
with a present
for the children.

00:33:36.849 --> 00:33:38.851
His name is Grip.
He talks!

00:33:39.102 --> 00:33:40.144
Can we keep him?

00:33:40.228 --> 00:33:41.312
'Ello, old girl.

00:33:41.396 --> 00:33:42.665
It's bad luck,
a bird in the house.

00:33:42.689 --> 00:33:43.940
It means death.

00:33:44.023 --> 00:33:45.566
'Allo!
Father, in here.

00:33:45.650 --> 00:33:47.944
Of course.

00:33:50.405 --> 00:33:51.447
Charles?

00:33:52.532 --> 00:33:53.574
Charles?

00:33:53.658 --> 00:33:55.785
What are you doing
back in London?

00:33:57.787 --> 00:33:58.955
My dear Charles.

00:33:59.038 --> 00:34:01.374
I will not disguise from you
that this is not the ardor

00:34:01.457 --> 00:34:03.102
with which a loving father
might be expected...

00:34:03.126 --> 00:34:05.002
You are supposed
to be in Devon.

00:34:05.086 --> 00:34:07.380
Banishment!

00:34:07.463 --> 00:34:10.258
Be merciful, say "death,"

00:34:10.550 --> 00:34:13.428
for exile has more terror
in its look.

00:34:14.303 --> 00:34:17.181
Father, we had an agreement.

00:34:18.766 --> 00:34:20.309
I bought you a house.

00:34:20.935 --> 00:34:22.603
I gave you an allowance.

00:34:22.687 --> 00:34:25.648
For which I am very grateful.

00:34:26.065 --> 00:34:28.651
As for me, I'm happy
wherever the weather.

00:34:28.735 --> 00:34:32.113
But your mother is of
a more delicate sensibility.

00:34:33.990 --> 00:34:36.951
Charles, the mere sight
of cows

00:34:37.034 --> 00:34:39.537
causes her
actual physical pain.

00:34:40.580 --> 00:34:41.998
Father...

00:34:42.331 --> 00:34:45.418
And I have research to do
in the London Library.

00:34:48.045 --> 00:34:49.547
"Research"?
Yeah.

00:34:51.257 --> 00:34:52.592
Yeah.

00:34:52.842 --> 00:34:54.719
I have a commission
from <i>The Spectator</i>

00:34:55.553 --> 00:34:58.014
to write a feature
on the Bank Charter Act.

00:34:59.474 --> 00:35:01.267
The editor was very impressed

00:35:01.350 --> 00:35:04.020
with my series
on Marine Insurance.

00:35:04.312 --> 00:35:05.521
Good for you, Father.

00:35:05.980 --> 00:35:08.566
I do hope that you and Mother
will stay here with us.

00:35:08.649 --> 00:35:09.984
The children and I
will so enjoy

00:35:10.067 --> 00:35:12.153
having some company
in the evenings.

00:35:19.535 --> 00:35:21.496
<i>The Spectator.</i>
Well, that's, um...

00:35:22.413 --> 00:35:24.791
That's most impressive.
Hmm.

00:35:26.292 --> 00:35:28.961
Thank you, dear boy.

00:35:29.545 --> 00:35:33.216
Oh, by the way, you couldn't
lend me a tenner, could you?

00:35:33.299 --> 00:35:36.052
That blighter took
my last farthing for the cage.

00:35:36.135 --> 00:35:37.553
Huh?

00:35:42.642 --> 00:35:44.352
It was the bird, sir.
It flew upstairs.

00:35:44.769 --> 00:35:46.312
Oh. Um...

00:35:46.646 --> 00:35:48.648
I'll see that
it's all cleared up.

00:35:50.149 --> 00:35:52.568
Please, can we keep him?
Well, I...

00:35:53.027 --> 00:35:54.153
Um...

00:35:56.697 --> 00:35:58.658
Come on, Walter.

00:36:03.538 --> 00:36:07.458
"This is not the ardor
with which a loving father..."

00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:11.963
Humbug!

00:36:13.172 --> 00:36:14.298
What is?

00:36:14.382 --> 00:36:16.300
Christmas. Huh.

00:36:18.553 --> 00:36:19.554
What about it?

00:36:19.637 --> 00:36:21.722
Well, what is it,
but an excuse

00:36:21.806 --> 00:36:23.224
for picking a man's pocket

00:36:23.307 --> 00:36:25.434
every 25th of December?

00:36:27.395 --> 00:36:28.688
Yes. Keep going.

00:36:29.230 --> 00:36:32.108
A time for paying bills
without money.

00:36:32.191 --> 00:36:34.277
A time for finding yourself
a year older

00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:36.404
and not an hour richer.

00:36:36.571 --> 00:36:39.198
If I could work my will,

00:36:39.282 --> 00:36:40.491
every idiot who goes about

00:36:40.575 --> 00:36:41.844
with "Merry Christmas"
on his lips

00:36:41.868 --> 00:36:43.744
should be boiled
in his own plum pudding

00:36:43.828 --> 00:36:46.163
and buried
with a stake of holly

00:36:46.247 --> 00:36:48.666
through his heart! He should.

00:36:48.749 --> 00:36:50.042
Oh, Mr. Scrooge, you and I

00:36:50.126 --> 00:36:52.044
are going to do
wonderful things together.

00:36:52.795 --> 00:36:54.589
"Oh, but he was a tight-fisted

00:36:54.672 --> 00:36:57.592
""hand at the grindstone'
Scrooge."

00:36:57.675 --> 00:37:00.469
A squeezing, wrenching,

00:37:00.553 --> 00:37:02.597
grasping,

00:37:02.680 --> 00:37:06.893
scraping, clutching,
covetous old sinner.

00:37:08.978 --> 00:37:10.229
Charles?

00:37:13.816 --> 00:37:15.109
Hard at work?

00:37:15.192 --> 00:37:16.944
What can I help you with,
Father?

00:37:17.194 --> 00:37:19.030
Well, I was wondering
if we might have

00:37:19.113 --> 00:37:21.657
an extra candlestick
for our room?

00:37:21.741 --> 00:37:23.200
Of course.
Oh.

00:37:23.284 --> 00:37:24.493
Cigars.

00:37:25.286 --> 00:37:26.704
Oh, yes...

00:37:27.496 --> 00:37:29.040
I must confess,
I have acquired

00:37:29.123 --> 00:37:31.542
an irrepressible habit

00:37:31.626 --> 00:37:34.045
of smoking whilst I write.

00:37:34.503 --> 00:37:36.964
Dreadful habit,
I know, but, oh, yeah...

00:37:38.841 --> 00:37:40.009
Thank you.

00:37:44.013 --> 00:37:46.474
Hmm. Going well?

00:37:46.724 --> 00:37:48.142
Oh.

00:37:49.393 --> 00:37:50.561
I won't detain you.

00:38:06.285 --> 00:38:08.329
Don't do that. Don't do it...

00:38:08.579 --> 00:38:09.580
Why not?

00:38:10.873 --> 00:38:11.916
Too late.

00:38:14.085 --> 00:38:15.294
Who is it?

00:38:15.836 --> 00:38:16.879
Who is it?

00:38:18.214 --> 00:38:19.423
Bunsby?

00:38:21.842 --> 00:38:23.135
Clennam?

00:38:24.470 --> 00:38:25.471
Heep?

00:38:26.681 --> 00:38:27.682
Hexam?

00:38:27.765 --> 00:38:29.517
Oh, stop, stop!
Magwitch?

00:38:29.600 --> 00:38:30.768
No...

00:38:32.311 --> 00:38:33.354
Marley!

00:38:41.862 --> 00:38:43.197
Is that you?

00:38:43.781 --> 00:38:45.449
Jacob?
You know him?

00:38:45.741 --> 00:38:46.951
Yeah, my business partner.

00:38:47.034 --> 00:38:49.578
Last time I saw him,
he was dead as a doornail.

00:38:49.662 --> 00:38:51.747
How do you, Jacob?

00:38:52.164 --> 00:38:54.083
Business, business.

00:38:54.792 --> 00:38:57.545
Mankind was my business.

00:38:57.837 --> 00:39:00.381
The common welfare
was my business.

00:39:01.757 --> 00:39:05.970
Charity, mercy...

00:39:07.221 --> 00:39:11.308
Forbearance and benevolence
were all my business.

00:39:11.475 --> 00:39:13.185
He was never one
for a straight answer.

00:39:13.269 --> 00:39:15.563
And yet I practiced
none of them!

00:39:17.356 --> 00:39:19.150
Come in. Come in, please.

00:39:43.049 --> 00:39:44.967
You are fettered.

00:39:45.885 --> 00:39:46.886
Why?

00:39:47.678 --> 00:39:50.848
I wear the chain
I forged in life.

00:39:54.060 --> 00:39:55.644
I made it...

00:39:57.271 --> 00:40:02.193
Link by link, yard by yard.

00:40:03.986 --> 00:40:07.656
And of my own free will,
I girded it about me.

00:40:08.908 --> 00:40:13.120
Of my own free will,
I wore it.

00:40:22.713 --> 00:40:24.340
Do you know
the weight and length

00:40:24.423 --> 00:40:26.509
of the chain
you bear yourself?

00:40:28.969 --> 00:40:30.179
You mean him, surely.

00:40:35.226 --> 00:40:36.894
You, Charlie.

00:40:39.230 --> 00:40:42.274
Your chains, all around you.

00:40:44.026 --> 00:40:45.736
Past and present...

00:40:48.531 --> 00:40:50.032
And what is to come.

00:40:54.870 --> 00:40:57.206
Hail to thee, blithe turkey.

00:40:57.915 --> 00:41:00.042
Whose exquisite odors

00:41:00.209 --> 00:41:03.546
now perfume
the circumambient air.

00:41:05.089 --> 00:41:07.800
And let this day be fragrant

00:41:07.883 --> 00:41:11.220
with the love
we bear one another.

00:41:11.303 --> 00:41:14.431
And may God bless us,
everyone.

00:41:14.515 --> 00:41:15.850
Every one.

00:41:21.355 --> 00:41:23.357
Mr. John Dickens?

00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:26.402
You're under arrest
for a debt of £42.

00:41:26.485 --> 00:41:27.546
Father!
Charlie...

00:41:27.570 --> 00:41:29.170
Father, tell them to stop!

00:41:30.906 --> 00:41:32.586
Take everything
that shines, boys.

00:41:32.616 --> 00:41:34.743
It's all right, Charlie.

00:41:34.827 --> 00:41:37.663
Tell them to stop, Father!
It's all right.

00:41:37.746 --> 00:41:40.207
Please, Charlie, don't worry.

00:41:54.471 --> 00:41:56.473
What about Leech
for the illustrations?

00:41:56.557 --> 00:41:57.558
What, Leech?

00:41:57.641 --> 00:42:00.144
Well, he's so prickly and he's
by no means the cheapest.

00:42:00.311 --> 00:42:01.663
I don't want
the cheapest.

00:42:01.687 --> 00:42:03.814
Oh, Charles,
for God's sake, slow down.

00:42:03.898 --> 00:42:05.065
You move at railway speed.

00:42:05.149 --> 00:42:06.626
I don't want
the cheapest, I want the best.

00:42:06.650 --> 00:42:07.711
And so
it's going well, then?

00:42:07.735 --> 00:42:08.736
What?
The book.

00:42:08.819 --> 00:42:10.463
Oh, it's brilliant. It's the
best thing I've ever written.

00:42:10.487 --> 00:42:11.727
What's the...
I've got 11 pages.

00:42:11.780 --> 00:42:12.781
Eleven?

00:42:12.865 --> 00:42:14.509
Well, if it weren't for
the constant interruptions...

00:42:14.533 --> 00:42:16.094
You know, we've got my father
staying with us.

00:42:16.118 --> 00:42:18.204
Indeed. He could not have come
at a worse time.

00:42:18.287 --> 00:42:19.413
Oh.

00:42:19.955 --> 00:42:21.248
Miss Wigmore.

00:42:26.462 --> 00:42:28.505
Come. Come along.

00:42:34.136 --> 00:42:35.387
Who was that?

00:42:35.971 --> 00:42:37.556
Charlotte.
Who?

00:42:38.265 --> 00:42:39.767
My fiancée. I told you.

00:42:39.934 --> 00:42:41.852
Fiancée?

00:42:41.936 --> 00:42:43.312
She's a canny lass,
is she not?

00:42:43.395 --> 00:42:45.231
Indeed. Most amiable.

00:42:45.314 --> 00:42:46.440
"Amiable"?

00:42:47.274 --> 00:42:50.069
Why, man,
she's an angel, a sylph.

00:42:50.152 --> 00:42:51.946
She's a goddess on a...

00:42:52.905 --> 00:42:54.406
Whatever is the matter?

00:42:55.574 --> 00:42:58.494
Oh, Charlotte and I have come
to a parting of the ways.

00:42:58.577 --> 00:42:59.930
I thought you said
you were engaged.

00:42:59.954 --> 00:43:00.955
Ah, we were.

00:43:01.038 --> 00:43:02.665
But then her father had
no intention

00:43:02.748 --> 00:43:04.458
for her to marry
the son of a butcher.

00:43:06.502 --> 00:43:07.544
Here.

00:43:11.966 --> 00:43:13.634
Perhaps it's for the best, eh?

00:43:14.051 --> 00:43:15.552
The life matrimonial...

00:43:15.636 --> 00:43:16.929
It's not for everyone,
old stick.

00:43:18.514 --> 00:43:20.099
Aye... Aye, no doubt.

00:43:21.308 --> 00:43:22.977
So... Leech?

00:43:24.103 --> 00:43:25.312
That's the ticket.

00:43:25.479 --> 00:43:26.814
Four wood cuts, four etchings.

00:43:26.897 --> 00:43:28.232
The cover in red.
Hand-colored.

00:43:28.315 --> 00:43:31.151
The title in rustic
spectral writing.

00:43:31.235 --> 00:43:32.278
The end papers to be green

00:43:32.361 --> 00:43:33.588
and all three edges
to be gilded.

00:43:33.612 --> 00:43:35.823
Gilded? It'll cost you.

00:43:36.448 --> 00:43:38.200
Well, it must be exquisite.

00:43:38.284 --> 00:43:39.410
That's why we came to you.

00:43:39.493 --> 00:43:43.122
You'll have to sell every copy
to make your money back.

00:43:43.205 --> 00:43:45.040
That is my intention.

00:43:45.249 --> 00:43:46.329
You brought the manuscript?

00:43:48.043 --> 00:43:49.670
I'll have something for you
in a week.

00:43:49.837 --> 00:43:51.213
A week?
Hmm.

00:43:51.297 --> 00:43:54.049
That leaves only four weeks
to do all the illustrations

00:43:54.133 --> 00:43:56.176
and get it to the printer
in time for Christmas.

00:43:58.929 --> 00:43:59.930
Can you do it?

00:44:00.014 --> 00:44:02.182
Mr. Dickens,
I'm not a hired hand.

00:44:02.641 --> 00:44:04.643
I am an artist.

00:44:05.769 --> 00:44:07.813
What you are asking
is impossible.

00:44:08.939 --> 00:44:11.233
Impossible
for an ordinary man,

00:44:11.317 --> 00:44:13.652
but you are no ordinary man,
Mr. Leech.

00:44:14.737 --> 00:44:16.280
You are a genius.

00:44:20.117 --> 00:44:21.118
£50.

00:44:21.702 --> 00:44:23.370
Paid in advance!

00:44:23.662 --> 00:44:25.372
Plus, more for the plates.

00:44:31.712 --> 00:44:32.796
Done.

00:44:32.880 --> 00:44:34.840
Thank you, Mr. Leech.

00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:39.386
Look, Charles, I don't want
to be the voice of doom,

00:44:39.470 --> 00:44:42.056
but before we lay out money
for illustrations,

00:44:42.139 --> 00:44:43.891
we should consider
what happens if you...

00:44:43.974 --> 00:44:45.351
If you don't finish on time.

00:44:46.226 --> 00:44:47.978
I will finish on time.

00:44:49.355 --> 00:44:50.522
Quite.

00:44:54.318 --> 00:44:55.819
Mr. Dickens.

00:44:55.903 --> 00:44:57.321
I fix the chandelier.

00:44:57.404 --> 00:44:58.697
See?
Yes. Good.

00:44:58.781 --> 00:45:00.866
<i>Grazie, Signor</i> Mazzini.

00:45:00.949 --> 00:45:03.744
Is no problem.
Only 12 guineas extra.

00:45:05.913 --> 00:45:07.206
12...

00:45:09.124 --> 00:45:10.852
I thought my father was off
to the British Library.

00:45:10.876 --> 00:45:12.086
Your sister's here, sir.

00:45:12.169 --> 00:45:14.254
Come from Manchester
with her little boy.

00:45:14.338 --> 00:45:15.339
Ah.

00:45:16.256 --> 00:45:18.133
My dear sister!

00:45:18.217 --> 00:45:20.427
Charlie.

00:45:21.220 --> 00:45:24.598
Henry, how are you?
Very well, grace be to God.

00:45:24.681 --> 00:45:26.392
This cannot be
young Master Henry.

00:45:26.725 --> 00:45:29.311
I barely recognize you.
How old are you now?

00:45:29.395 --> 00:45:31.438
Nine, if you please, sir.
Nine?

00:45:31.772 --> 00:45:33.012
I shall soon
run out of fingers.

00:45:39.571 --> 00:45:40.572
Excuse me, sir.

00:45:40.697 --> 00:45:42.777
The children are having
their tea in the dining room.

00:45:44.076 --> 00:45:45.953
Come on, then, young 'un. Up!

00:45:51.250 --> 00:45:52.793
Mind your head.

00:45:53.961 --> 00:45:55.879
There goes my heart.

00:45:56.004 --> 00:45:58.215
What did the doctor say?

00:45:58.298 --> 00:46:00.050
He says
we have to wait and see.

00:46:00.884 --> 00:46:02.469
Won't you let us help?

00:46:02.553 --> 00:46:03.804
We'll manage.
At least until

00:46:03.887 --> 00:46:05.264
Henry finds a new position.

00:46:05.347 --> 00:46:07.808
Something will come up.
I'm sure of it.

00:46:07.891 --> 00:46:09.643
You sound just like Father.

00:46:10.227 --> 00:46:12.688
How is the old reprobate?

00:46:12.771 --> 00:46:15.065
"This morning I had
25 shillings in my hand,

00:46:15.149 --> 00:46:16.692
"and now,
observe the vacancy."

00:46:16.775 --> 00:46:19.236
He means no harm.
It's not enough.

00:46:19.319 --> 00:46:22.322
He bobs around like a cork
on the surface of life.

00:46:22.406 --> 00:46:24.700
Not a thought for the future.
Oh, Charlie...

00:46:25.200 --> 00:46:27.327
Let it go, can't you?

00:46:27.786 --> 00:46:29.496
Okay,
come on, me hearties,

00:46:29.580 --> 00:46:31.331
me landlubbers, me lovelies!

00:46:31.415 --> 00:46:33.792
Oh!
Oh! Up we go...

00:46:33.876 --> 00:46:36.962
Landlubbers,
come aboard my ship.

00:46:37.045 --> 00:46:39.339
Here we go. Let's set sail!

00:46:39.423 --> 00:46:41.300
Brail your capstan bar!

00:46:41.383 --> 00:46:42.843
Come here, Walter.

00:46:44.094 --> 00:46:45.679
No one is useless
in this world...

00:46:45.762 --> 00:46:48.140
...who lightens the burden
of another. I know.

00:46:49.016 --> 00:46:51.977
For all his faults,
you won't find a kinder man.

00:46:52.060 --> 00:46:53.228
Hmm.

00:46:53.479 --> 00:46:56.023
How long he is growing up
to be one.

00:46:59.276 --> 00:47:02.070
Here we go, full sail ahead!

00:47:11.538 --> 00:47:12.748
Why are you here?

00:47:13.081 --> 00:47:16.585
You'd better come and see
who's just turned up.

00:47:22.716 --> 00:47:23.967
Charles?

00:47:26.303 --> 00:47:29.056
Just a bit of indigestion.
Go back to sleep.

00:47:48.659 --> 00:47:50.702
Tell him who you are.

00:47:51.161 --> 00:47:53.956
I am
the Ghost of Christmas Past.

00:47:57.501 --> 00:47:58.710
Follow.

00:47:59.127 --> 00:48:00.796
Not bloody likely.

00:48:01.380 --> 00:48:02.422
Why not?

00:48:02.506 --> 00:48:04.716
Mucking around in the past?
What's the point?

00:48:05.384 --> 00:48:06.424
You might learn something.

00:48:06.468 --> 00:48:08.762
Well, I already know
everything I need to know.

00:48:08.845 --> 00:48:10.264
Well, uh...

00:48:10.514 --> 00:48:12.516
Take him, why don't you?
Me?

00:48:12.599 --> 00:48:14.059
Yeah,
if you're so keen.

00:48:14.142 --> 00:48:16.478
It's not about me!
Well, you're the author.

00:48:17.563 --> 00:48:18.814
Aren't you?

00:48:22.943 --> 00:48:24.486
Follow.

00:48:26.154 --> 00:48:28.031
Don't cry.

00:48:28.365 --> 00:48:29.741
We'll be back
when the debt's paid.

00:48:29.825 --> 00:48:31.743
But why can't I stay with you?

00:48:31.827 --> 00:48:33.787
You're a big boy, Charlie.

00:48:33.996 --> 00:48:35.914
You're the breadwinner now.

00:48:35.998 --> 00:48:37.124
You'll see.

00:48:37.207 --> 00:48:38.875
It'll be an adventure.

00:48:39.459 --> 00:48:42.087
You'll hardly think of us
at all.

00:48:43.797 --> 00:48:46.091
Time to go.

00:48:46.174 --> 00:48:48.385
Now, sir, enough of that.

00:48:48.468 --> 00:48:49.678
Stand up tall.

00:48:49.761 --> 00:48:51.972
Blood of iron, heart of ice.

00:48:52.055 --> 00:48:53.932
Huh?

00:48:55.142 --> 00:48:59.229
And remember, you're the son
of John Dickens!

00:48:59.396 --> 00:49:00.772
A gentleman!

00:49:01.106 --> 00:49:03.317
You be sure
and tell them that!

00:49:14.703 --> 00:49:16.038
Come on, then!

00:49:17.998 --> 00:49:20.626
Blood of iron, heart of ice.

00:49:28.717 --> 00:49:30.886
Good morning.
What?

00:49:31.219 --> 00:49:33.263
You were tossing and turning
all night, you know?

00:49:33.347 --> 00:49:35.015
Yeah. Bad dreams.

00:49:36.099 --> 00:49:37.476
What about?

00:49:38.435 --> 00:49:39.686
I don't know.

00:49:40.437 --> 00:49:41.521
Shadows.

00:49:42.773 --> 00:49:44.232
Well...

00:49:44.316 --> 00:49:46.526
A little daylight
will cure you.

00:49:48.070 --> 00:49:51.198
Shall we ask Mr. Punch
where the baby's daddy's gone?

00:49:51.281 --> 00:49:52.658
I bet he knows.

00:49:54.826 --> 00:49:56.286
Where's he gone, Mr. Punch?

00:49:58.872 --> 00:50:00.916
Off to prison? Oh-ho!

00:50:00.999 --> 00:50:03.627
Come on. We're wasting time.
Let's get to work.

00:50:04.252 --> 00:50:05.629
I am working.

00:50:05.712 --> 00:50:08.840
Here?
Yeah, gathering inspiration.

00:50:08.924 --> 00:50:10.676
Gathering what?

00:50:10.759 --> 00:50:12.469
What do you see
when you look around?

00:50:12.552 --> 00:50:14.680
Well, it's a market,
you idiot.

00:50:15.180 --> 00:50:16.848
- What else?
- Pies!

00:50:16.932 --> 00:50:20.143
Hot pies!
Eel, beef or mutton pies!

00:50:20.227 --> 00:50:21.311
Buyers and sellers.

00:50:21.395 --> 00:50:22.729
What else?

00:50:24.439 --> 00:50:26.191
...never say die.
Have a look, sir.

00:50:26.692 --> 00:50:28.985
Thieves and ruffians...

00:50:29.069 --> 00:50:30.612
...murder, gentlemen!

00:50:30.696 --> 00:50:33.240
Oh! Oh!

00:50:33.323 --> 00:50:35.909
Clear the way!
Clear the way, lads!

00:50:35.992 --> 00:50:38.704
Mr. Fezziwig!

00:50:44.918 --> 00:50:46.586
Life, Mr. Scrooge!

00:50:46.670 --> 00:50:47.713
It's London!

00:50:47.921 --> 00:50:49.923
The great theater
of the world. It's all here.

00:50:50.006 --> 00:50:51.550
Bah. Humbug!

00:50:51.633 --> 00:50:54.636
I'm a man of facts,
of calculations.

00:50:54.720 --> 00:50:56.888
Realities, not fantasy...

00:50:56.972 --> 00:50:58.515
What the devil's that?

00:50:59.725 --> 00:51:00.976
Here you go, sir.

00:51:10.819 --> 00:51:11.820
Must go.

00:51:11.903 --> 00:51:13.029
Where to?

00:51:13.113 --> 00:51:14.406
It's time to write.

00:51:23.707 --> 00:51:25.500
Come along.
Good night, children!

00:51:25.709 --> 00:51:27.961
Bye! Shoo!

00:51:33.550 --> 00:51:36.678
Well, it looks as though
Charles won't be joining us.

00:51:36.887 --> 00:51:38.889
Again.
We may as well start.

00:51:38.972 --> 00:51:40.056
Oh.

00:51:40.140 --> 00:51:41.808
Ah, the parties.

00:51:41.892 --> 00:51:43.852
We used to keep such hours.

00:51:43.935 --> 00:51:46.772
Balls, dinners, champagne.

00:51:46.855 --> 00:51:49.024
First-rate capon, Mrs. Fisk.

00:51:49.107 --> 00:51:51.610
Oh, thank you, sir.
I'll let the cook know.

00:51:51.818 --> 00:51:54.279
And the chairs had turned legs

00:51:54.362 --> 00:51:57.491
with green squabs
to match the curtains.

00:51:57.574 --> 00:51:58.867
What was that story, Mother?

00:51:59.075 --> 00:52:01.036
Oh, uh,
I was just telling Kate

00:52:01.119 --> 00:52:03.246
about the dining room set
we used to have.

00:52:03.705 --> 00:52:06.750
Rosewood.
In the most approved taste.

00:52:07.125 --> 00:52:09.044
Do you mean the one we pawned?

00:52:09.336 --> 00:52:11.838
- Oh.
- Charles.

00:52:11.922 --> 00:52:14.674
You are a satirical monster.

00:52:15.133 --> 00:52:16.218
Is that a joke, Charles?

00:52:16.301 --> 00:52:17.636
Not a very amusing one.

00:52:17.719 --> 00:52:19.095
Is that a new waistcoat,
Father?

00:52:19.513 --> 00:52:21.556
What? Uh... Oh. Yes.

00:52:21.640 --> 00:52:24.184
It's Persian crimson.
A little more expensive.

00:52:24.267 --> 00:52:25.602
But, as I always say,

00:52:25.685 --> 00:52:28.939
people will believe anything
if you are properly dressed.

00:52:30.565 --> 00:52:31.566
Kate, will you ask Tara

00:52:31.650 --> 00:52:32.919
to bring a tray up
with something on it.

00:52:32.943 --> 00:52:35.821
I'll bring it up.
No. I need Tara to do it.

00:52:35.904 --> 00:52:37.531
Uh, I'll get her, sir.

00:52:37.614 --> 00:52:38.657
Tara!

00:52:38.740 --> 00:52:41.326
That's
the spirit, my boy. Hmm?

00:52:41.451 --> 00:52:44.663
Procrastination is the thief
of time, eh, Charles?

00:52:45.372 --> 00:52:46.957
Collar him!

00:52:51.670 --> 00:52:53.380
We must not disturb the poet

00:52:53.463 --> 00:52:55.966
when the divine frenzy
is upon him.

00:52:56.132 --> 00:52:58.635
Hmm.

00:53:09.354 --> 00:53:10.897
Know the place?

00:53:14.025 --> 00:53:15.944
Was I apprenticed here?

00:53:17.612 --> 00:53:19.531
Clear the way, lads!
Clear the way!

00:53:19.614 --> 00:53:21.214
It's Friday night!

00:53:21.241 --> 00:53:23.326
Why, it's old Fezziwig!

00:53:36.548 --> 00:53:37.716
Who is it?

00:53:37.799 --> 00:53:40.594
It's Tara, sir.
With your dinner.

00:53:47.434 --> 00:53:49.102
Tara. Come in. Come in.

00:53:50.896 --> 00:53:51.980
Close the door.

00:53:55.108 --> 00:53:56.902
Sit. I want to
read you something.

00:53:56.985 --> 00:53:59.195
Oh. Oh, I... I don't think
Mrs. Fisk would...

00:53:59.279 --> 00:54:01.781
Eh! Skittleshins to Mrs. Fisk.

00:54:01.865 --> 00:54:02.991
Come. Sit.

00:54:06.703 --> 00:54:08.496
Now, since you like
ghost stories,

00:54:08.580 --> 00:54:11.207
see if this can rival
<i>Varney the Vampire.</i>

00:54:15.003 --> 00:54:19.466
"...cherry-cheeked apples,
juicy oranges, luscious pears,

00:54:19.549 --> 00:54:22.677
"immense twelfth-cakes,
and seething bowls of punch,

00:54:22.761 --> 00:54:26.056
"that made the chamber dim
with their delicious steam.

00:54:26.139 --> 00:54:28.224
"In easy state,
upon this couch,

00:54:28.308 --> 00:54:30.310
"there sat a jolly Giant..."

00:54:30.393 --> 00:54:33.146
The second ghost!
The second ghost.

00:54:37.025 --> 00:54:40.946
I am the Ghost
of Christmas Present.

00:54:41.529 --> 00:54:44.324
These are the gifts
of abundance,

00:54:44.407 --> 00:54:47.494
of goodwill,
and of generosity.

00:54:47.577 --> 00:54:49.037
Uh-huh. Uh...

00:54:49.329 --> 00:54:50.556
Of course,
you wouldn't understand

00:54:50.580 --> 00:54:52.332
much about that, would you?

00:54:52.415 --> 00:54:54.250
Unlike these good people.

00:54:56.711 --> 00:54:57.879
My dear Mrs. Cratchit,

00:54:57.963 --> 00:54:59.798
you have outdone
yourself this year.

00:54:59.881 --> 00:55:01.925
Oh, everyone pitched in.
Even Tim.

00:55:02.008 --> 00:55:03.510
I set the table.

00:55:03.593 --> 00:55:04.713
Yes, you did.

00:55:07.389 --> 00:55:09.808
I didn't know
Cratchit had a crippled son.

00:55:09.891 --> 00:55:11.351
Didn't you ever think to ask?

00:55:11.434 --> 00:55:13.979
A Merry Christmas to us all,
my dears.

00:55:14.062 --> 00:55:15.063
And may God bless us.

00:55:15.438 --> 00:55:17.357
God bless us, everyone.

00:55:18.733 --> 00:55:19.776
He's my clerk.

00:55:19.901 --> 00:55:22.112
I don't pay him to tell me
about his personal life.

00:55:22.195 --> 00:55:24.739
You hardly pay him at all.
Fifteen shillings a week.

00:55:24.823 --> 00:55:27.701
For a man with a family?
Not to mention a sick child.

00:55:31.621 --> 00:55:32.706
That's the market rate.

00:55:34.958 --> 00:55:37.127
Do you really believe

00:55:37.210 --> 00:55:38.378
that every inch of existence

00:55:38.461 --> 00:55:40.505
is a bargain
across the counter?

00:55:41.047 --> 00:55:43.008
Observe this family.
They don't have much,

00:55:43.383 --> 00:55:46.845
but they're happy, grateful,
contented with their lot.

00:55:47.137 --> 00:55:51.141
Whereas you are miserable
and content with nothing.

00:55:51.307 --> 00:55:53.101
Never heard such folly.

00:55:57.897 --> 00:55:59.983
Heed well what I've said.

00:56:01.359 --> 00:56:02.402
Farewell.

00:56:02.485 --> 00:56:04.279
<i>And... Intermission!</i>

00:56:04.362 --> 00:56:05.447
Oh!

00:56:06.656 --> 00:56:08.116
Thrilling performance.

00:56:08.575 --> 00:56:09.784
That's very kind, thank you.

00:56:09.868 --> 00:56:12.662
And that is as far
as I've got.

00:56:18.501 --> 00:56:19.502
Tara?
Hmm?

00:56:21.671 --> 00:56:23.006
How do you do that, sir?

00:56:23.089 --> 00:56:24.340
Do what?

00:56:24.424 --> 00:56:26.301
Make a world come alive.

00:56:26.384 --> 00:56:29.137
I could almost see
and hear them people.

00:56:31.014 --> 00:56:33.266
Especially that Tiny Tim.

00:56:33.850 --> 00:56:34.976
Poor mite.

00:56:44.694 --> 00:56:46.946
A word in your ear.

00:56:47.614 --> 00:56:49.032
About what?

00:56:49.115 --> 00:56:50.116
The scene.

00:56:50.992 --> 00:56:52.494
It's very one-sided.

00:56:52.577 --> 00:56:54.662
What? One-sided?

00:56:54.746 --> 00:56:55.997
Well, my character doesn't

00:56:56.081 --> 00:56:57.665
get to explain
his side of things.

00:56:59.584 --> 00:57:02.253
So, I've taken the liberty
of writing a short speech...

00:57:02.337 --> 00:57:03.922
No.
Something about

00:57:04.005 --> 00:57:05.673
the rational self-interest

00:57:05.757 --> 00:57:07.592
and the natural tendencies
of free markets...

00:57:07.675 --> 00:57:10.428
No. No. And no.

00:57:12.055 --> 00:57:14.015
Well, what sort of book
is this, anyway?

00:57:15.391 --> 00:57:16.851
No! It's too...

00:57:16.935 --> 00:57:18.353
It's too gloomy.

00:57:18.436 --> 00:57:20.730
The Ghost of Christmas Present
should be wonderful.

00:57:20.980 --> 00:57:22.524
Warm, jolly!

00:57:23.191 --> 00:57:24.943
Jolly?
Yes!

00:57:25.026 --> 00:57:27.403
A jolly ghost?
That's it.

00:57:39.541 --> 00:57:41.459
What's this?
Find another artist.

00:57:41.543 --> 00:57:43.294
We don't want another artist.

00:57:43.378 --> 00:57:47.590
A jolly Christmas ghost?
What does that mean?

00:57:48.049 --> 00:57:50.885
I can't draw
what I don't understand!

00:57:51.344 --> 00:57:55.223
Well, it is everything
that's best about Christmas.

00:57:55.515 --> 00:58:00.311
He's the soul of kindness
and generosity. He's...

00:58:01.479 --> 00:58:02.939
Well, he's Forster.

00:58:03.523 --> 00:58:04.524
Eh?

00:58:05.150 --> 00:58:06.442
With a beard.

00:58:12.157 --> 00:58:13.199
Come on, jolly.

00:58:55.158 --> 00:58:58.036
In shops by Christmas?

00:58:58.286 --> 00:58:59.829
That'll be a miracle.

00:58:59.913 --> 00:59:01.414
Go away.

00:59:01.497 --> 00:59:03.791
Three flops in a row.

00:59:03.875 --> 00:59:06.002
Up to your eyeballs in debt.

00:59:07.003 --> 00:59:09.214
I'd think you'd be glad
of some advice.

00:59:09.297 --> 00:59:11.966
So, you've had a few flops,
what of it?

00:59:12.050 --> 00:59:13.801
You're still young.

00:59:13.885 --> 00:59:15.165
It's not as if
you're an old man.

00:59:15.220 --> 00:59:17.013
You've still got
lots of time to be...

00:59:43.998 --> 00:59:45.124
Are we in the presence

00:59:45.208 --> 00:59:47.001
of the Ghost of Christmas
Yet to Come?

00:59:49.712 --> 00:59:51.297
Why doesn't he speak?
Shh!

00:59:56.344 --> 00:59:57.887
You are here to show us
the shadows

00:59:57.971 --> 00:59:59.555
of the things
that have not been,

01:00:01.099 --> 01:00:04.894
but will happen, in the time
before us. Is that so?

01:00:16.572 --> 01:00:18.241
Where does it want us to go?

01:00:18.992 --> 01:00:20.368
I think I know.

01:00:24.163 --> 01:00:26.833
I have a bad feeling
about this. I...

01:00:33.673 --> 01:00:36.968
<i>And then they entered
poor Bob Cratchit's house</i>

01:00:37.051 --> 01:00:39.387
<i>and found the mother and
the children round the fire.</i>

01:00:44.559 --> 01:00:45.852
It's okay. It's okay.

01:00:45.935 --> 01:00:47.437
<i>Then Bob
came in the door.</i>

01:00:56.279 --> 01:00:57.959
You went today then, Robert?

01:00:58.573 --> 01:00:59.991
To the cemetery?

01:01:02.160 --> 01:01:03.244
Yes, my dear.

01:01:04.370 --> 01:01:05.955
I wish you could have gone

01:01:06.039 --> 01:01:08.207
to see how green
a place it is.

01:01:09.000 --> 01:01:10.710
But you'll see it often.

01:01:12.045 --> 01:01:15.715
I promised him that I would
take a walk there on a Sunday.

01:01:21.512 --> 01:01:22.597
My little child.

01:01:27.352 --> 01:01:29.062
My little...
Little child.

01:01:29.145 --> 01:01:30.355
No!
Uh...

01:01:30.438 --> 01:01:32.231
Rude!
Is Tiny Tim dead?

01:01:32.315 --> 01:01:33.941
Well, of course he is,
imbecile.

01:01:35.902 --> 01:01:37.111
He was very ill.

01:01:37.195 --> 01:01:38.821
You can't save
every child in London.

01:01:39.364 --> 01:01:41.532
And the family has no money
for a doctor.

01:01:41.657 --> 01:01:43.659
Then Scrooge must save him!

01:01:43.743 --> 01:01:44.911
Me?

01:01:46.204 --> 01:01:47.246
But he wouldn't...
Why?

01:01:47.330 --> 01:01:49.123
Well, he's...
He's too selfish.

01:01:49.207 --> 01:01:50.333
He can change.

01:01:50.416 --> 01:01:51.751
There's good in him somewhere.

01:01:51.834 --> 01:01:53.795
I know it!
People don't change.

01:01:56.672 --> 01:01:59.133
He's been this way
for a long time.

01:01:59.217 --> 01:02:01.177
I'm not sure he can change.

01:02:01.260 --> 01:02:03.846
Of course he can.
He's not a monster!

01:02:05.765 --> 01:02:07.100
I thought this was
a ghost story,

01:02:07.183 --> 01:02:08.184
not a fairy tale.

01:02:08.267 --> 01:02:11.270
He wouldn't let Tiny Tim die,
Mr. Dickens.

01:02:12.188 --> 01:02:14.023
He has a heart, doesn't he?

01:02:15.149 --> 01:02:17.276
It would be too wicked...

01:02:19.362 --> 01:02:20.822
Even for him!

01:03:04.365 --> 01:03:08.202
'Tis now the very
witching time of night!

01:03:08.286 --> 01:03:09.287
Hush.

01:03:09.370 --> 01:03:11.789
When graveyards
yawn and hell...

01:03:11.873 --> 01:03:14.876
Ah-ha, Shakespeare.

01:03:15.126 --> 01:03:16.919
There's a man
who could write.

01:03:17.128 --> 01:03:19.338
I doubt he ever had
a blockage.

01:03:20.631 --> 01:03:23.968
Self-preservation,
first law of nature.

01:03:24.051 --> 01:03:25.344
And that's just a fact.

01:03:28.431 --> 01:03:30.516
Oh, hush...
Oh!

01:03:30.600 --> 01:03:32.435
Charles! Good evening.

01:03:32.518 --> 01:03:34.145
We'll get him
straight into bed, Charles.

01:03:34.812 --> 01:03:36.022
We were
up the river to Kew,

01:03:36.105 --> 01:03:37.899
and I think perhaps
it was too long a day.

01:03:37.982 --> 01:03:39.942
Kew...
Kew?

01:03:40.860 --> 01:03:42.180
What about
your newspaper article?

01:03:42.653 --> 01:03:44.655
Article?
Yes, the one you're writing.

01:03:45.323 --> 01:03:46.365
It's been over a month.

01:03:46.741 --> 01:03:48.743
Oh!

01:03:48.826 --> 01:03:50.495
Oh, eh... Ooh!

01:03:51.370 --> 01:03:52.663
No, they, um...

01:03:52.747 --> 01:03:57.585
The editor felt that, um,
due to pecuniary complications

01:03:57.668 --> 01:03:59.629
of a most complicated nature,

01:03:59.712 --> 01:04:02.131
he felt he could not
proceed with the commission.

01:04:02.215 --> 01:04:04.217
So, no newspaper article.

01:04:04.300 --> 01:04:05.343
No.

01:04:05.426 --> 01:04:08.262
However, I rejoice in saying

01:04:08.346 --> 01:04:11.432
I have every hope
something will turn up.

01:04:11.516 --> 01:04:13.643
I think it's time you went
back to Devon, Father.

01:04:15.937 --> 01:04:18.356
Indeed.
As soon as possible.

01:04:22.318 --> 01:04:23.819
Of course, dear boy.

01:04:24.695 --> 01:04:27.490
We shall catch
the afternoon train tomorrow.

01:04:30.493 --> 01:04:31.577
No...

01:04:32.662 --> 01:04:34.497
I can manage from here.

01:04:35.623 --> 01:04:37.083
Thank you.

01:04:38.167 --> 01:04:39.377
Good night, Charles.

01:04:43.881 --> 01:04:45.424
Ride on!

01:04:45.508 --> 01:04:51.097
Ride on, over all obstacles
and win the race!

01:04:52.265 --> 01:04:54.058
Don't be unkind, Charlie.

01:04:54.767 --> 01:04:56.310
You don't know
what he's been through.

01:04:56.394 --> 01:04:58.938
He feels it all, you know?

01:04:59.021 --> 01:05:03.109
He would never tell you,
but he feels it all.

01:05:22.628 --> 01:05:23.879
That's it.

01:05:23.963 --> 01:05:26.299
Blood of iron, heart of ice.

01:05:27.133 --> 01:05:29.802
Now perhaps we can finish
this little book.

01:05:35.182 --> 01:05:38.102
"Are these the shadows
of the things that will be,

01:05:38.185 --> 01:05:40.896
"or are they shadows of things
that may be only?"

01:05:44.900 --> 01:05:46.652
That is as far as I've got.

01:05:48.529 --> 01:05:49.947
It's brilliant.

01:05:50.948 --> 01:05:53.534
Are you pulling my leg?
No. No, of course not.

01:05:53.618 --> 01:05:55.036
Well, now...

01:05:56.245 --> 01:05:57.788
That's encouraging.

01:05:59.040 --> 01:06:01.959
My... My one criticism...

01:06:02.043 --> 01:06:03.336
Yes?

01:06:03.419 --> 01:06:04.629
Tiny Tim.

01:06:04.712 --> 01:06:05.713
Go on.

01:06:05.796 --> 01:06:06.940
Are you really
going to let him die?

01:06:06.964 --> 01:06:08.841
Not you as well.

01:06:08.924 --> 01:06:11.927
It's a Christmas book.
Shouldn't it be hopeful?

01:06:12.011 --> 01:06:14.055
I mean, isn't that what
Christmas is all about?

01:06:14.138 --> 01:06:15.556
The hope that in the end,

01:06:15.640 --> 01:06:17.600
our better natures
will prevail?

01:06:18.934 --> 01:06:20.829
You were the one who persuaded
me to kill off Little Nell.

01:06:20.853 --> 01:06:22.122
Yeah. Well,
I stand by that decision.

01:06:22.146 --> 01:06:23.606
John, my readers
implored me...

01:06:23.689 --> 01:06:24.690
But this is different.

01:06:24.774 --> 01:06:27.610
If Tiny Tim dies,
then what's the point?

01:06:30.112 --> 01:06:31.489
Thank you, John...
You're welcome.

01:06:31.572 --> 01:06:34.075
For reminding me why I never
ask your opinion on my work.

01:06:34.158 --> 01:06:36.285
Your services
are no longer required.

01:06:36.369 --> 01:06:37.953
You... You cannot sack me.

01:06:38.037 --> 01:06:40.873
Why not?
Because I don't work for you.

01:06:40.956 --> 01:06:43.125
I do what I do as a friend.

01:06:43.709 --> 01:06:45.336
John, please leave.

01:06:47.463 --> 01:06:48.798
See you on Friday.

01:06:49.590 --> 01:06:51.717
Last chapter's due
at the printers.

01:07:02.019 --> 01:07:03.059
Right. Let's run it again,

01:07:03.104 --> 01:07:04.605
from the scene
with Scrooge's debtors.

01:07:04.689 --> 01:07:07.024
What's the point?
The point?

01:07:07.108 --> 01:07:09.068
We keep stopping
at the same place.

01:07:09.151 --> 01:07:10.587
Yes, because I'm working out
the ending.

01:07:10.611 --> 01:07:12.029
Admit it, you're blocked!

01:07:12.405 --> 01:07:14.115
I am not blocked.

01:07:14.198 --> 01:07:15.678
Now, if you take my advice...

01:07:16.659 --> 01:07:17.952
I'm the author here.

01:07:18.035 --> 01:07:19.036
Allegedly.

01:07:21.706 --> 01:07:22.998
I'm going out.

01:07:26.669 --> 01:07:27.795
Alone!

01:07:28.087 --> 01:07:29.255
Oh.

01:07:37.722 --> 01:07:39.557
Forster! I need your help.

01:07:39.640 --> 01:07:40.891
What is it? The children?

01:07:40.975 --> 01:07:42.393
No. The children are fine.

01:07:43.477 --> 01:07:44.603
What's this?

01:07:45.229 --> 01:07:47.273
Candle/scandal...
Flirt/hurt...

01:07:47.356 --> 01:07:48.774
Charlotte/Poor heart.

01:07:48.858 --> 01:07:50.443
What is it, a poem?

01:07:50.526 --> 01:07:52.236
That's atrocious.
What has got into you?

01:07:53.738 --> 01:07:55.197
You look terrible.

01:07:55.281 --> 01:07:56.574
What's the matter?
It's the book.

01:07:56.657 --> 01:07:57.658
I'm struggling with

01:07:57.742 --> 01:07:59.542
- one of the characters.
- Yoo-hoo!

01:07:59.910 --> 01:08:01.579
Yoo-hoo! Ah!

01:08:05.583 --> 01:08:06.834
Quite a few of them, actually.

01:08:06.917 --> 01:08:08.377
What exactly is the problem?

01:08:08.461 --> 01:08:09.712
The problem is,

01:08:09.795 --> 01:08:12.047
could a man as mean-spirited
as Scrooge,

01:08:12.131 --> 01:08:13.924
as evil as Scrooge...

01:08:14.008 --> 01:08:16.802
Could he become
a different person overnight?

01:08:17.386 --> 01:08:18.929
What is so evil about him?

01:08:20.097 --> 01:08:21.098
Well, he's a miser.

01:08:21.182 --> 01:08:23.285
Well, that doesn't make him
evil. It just makes him cheap.

01:08:23.309 --> 01:08:24.435
He worships money.

01:08:24.518 --> 01:08:25.996
It's the only thing
that matters to him.

01:08:26.020 --> 01:08:27.021
Why?

01:08:29.482 --> 01:08:31.025
He... He has nothing else.

01:08:32.026 --> 01:08:33.569
No friends? No family?

01:08:36.864 --> 01:08:38.240
No one he trusts.

01:08:39.074 --> 01:08:40.117
Why?

01:08:40.534 --> 01:08:42.119
Because he's afraid.

01:08:44.705 --> 01:08:45.998
Of?

01:08:50.503 --> 01:08:51.837
Being found out.

01:08:51.921 --> 01:08:53.047
Hello, chaps.

01:08:54.048 --> 01:08:55.382
Thackeray.

01:08:56.300 --> 01:08:57.885
Charles, I haven't seen

01:08:57.968 --> 01:09:00.304
anything of yours
in print for ages.

01:09:00.387 --> 01:09:02.473
Don't tell me you've had
a blockage!

01:09:03.390 --> 01:09:05.768
Not in the least. I'm neck and
heels into a Christmas book.

01:09:05.851 --> 01:09:07.186
What the deuce is that?

01:09:08.312 --> 01:09:10.147
A story about Christmas.

01:09:10.231 --> 01:09:11.357
For Christmas.

01:09:11.440 --> 01:09:13.067
A story about...

01:09:16.111 --> 01:09:19.156
How amusing.
Well, best of luck with it.

01:09:19.824 --> 01:09:21.575
Oh, did you hear,
my last book

01:09:21.659 --> 01:09:23.661
has come out
in a Railway edition.

01:09:23.744 --> 01:09:26.413
Sold 10,000 copies,
in a week.

01:09:27.373 --> 01:09:28.749
"There's gold
in them thar hills,"

01:09:28.833 --> 01:09:30.709
as your American friends
would say.

01:09:35.172 --> 01:09:36.215
Come on.

01:09:36.298 --> 01:09:39.051
Let's go somewhere else,
get a real drink.

01:09:46.725 --> 01:09:48.185
<i>She's a big lass</i>

01:09:48.269 --> 01:09:49.562
<i>An' a bonny lass</i>

01:09:49.645 --> 01:09:51.063
<i>An' she likes her beer</i>

01:09:51.146 --> 01:09:53.065
<i>An' I call her
Cushie Butterfield</i>

01:09:53.148 --> 01:09:55.734
<i>An' I wish she was here</i>

01:09:56.610 --> 01:09:57.653
Well...

01:09:57.736 --> 01:09:59.530
What language is that?
That's Geordie, man.

01:09:59.613 --> 01:10:01.532
We're gods.

01:10:04.118 --> 01:10:05.286
Where are we?

01:10:05.369 --> 01:10:08.080
- Oh. It's Hungerford Stairs.
- Oy, smell the river!

01:10:12.084 --> 01:10:13.377
What's that?

01:10:14.086 --> 01:10:15.546
It's a graveyard.

01:10:15.629 --> 01:10:17.715
Ah, it's the old
Warren's Factory.

01:10:17.798 --> 01:10:19.341
They moved from there
years ago.

01:10:19.425 --> 01:10:21.176
I wonder they've not
pulled it down yet.

01:10:21.260 --> 01:10:23.429
Yeah. Or burned it down.

01:10:24.263 --> 01:10:25.848
Might do it myself one day.

01:10:25.931 --> 01:10:28.475
Why? What have you got
against boot blacking?

01:10:29.351 --> 01:10:30.769
Charles.

01:10:31.353 --> 01:10:32.605
What is it?

01:10:34.440 --> 01:10:36.775
I just have
this recurring nightmare.

01:10:36.859 --> 01:10:38.360
Oh, nightmares, aye.

01:10:39.069 --> 01:10:41.447
I've got one where I'm being
chased by a giant badger.

01:10:44.450 --> 01:10:45.743
What's yours?

01:10:48.829 --> 01:10:50.623
Never mind.

01:10:51.290 --> 01:10:53.042
Well, come on.
It's time to go home.

01:10:53.125 --> 01:10:54.185
I'll see you at the printers.

01:10:54.209 --> 01:10:56.253
Friday morning, 9:00.
I can't.

01:10:56.337 --> 01:10:57.838
Well, why not?

01:11:00.007 --> 01:11:01.258
It's the book...

01:11:03.093 --> 01:11:04.219
I can't... The...

01:11:04.303 --> 01:11:06.639
The characters won't do
what I want.

01:11:10.142 --> 01:11:11.852
And I'm afraid.

01:11:11.936 --> 01:11:13.187
Of what?

01:11:14.063 --> 01:11:17.274
If I can't finish it,
I'll never write again.

01:11:17.358 --> 01:11:20.569
Oh, come on, marra, come on.
Have some sleep, hear?

01:11:20.653 --> 01:11:21.779
I can't.

01:11:23.697 --> 01:11:26.367
The wrong fire
is burning in my head.

01:11:27.117 --> 01:11:28.619
Oh. Don't be daft.

01:11:28.702 --> 01:11:29.930
Now, come on, your wife
will be worried sick.

01:11:29.954 --> 01:11:31.705
Who? Kate?
She doesn't understand me.

01:11:31.789 --> 01:11:33.415
Oh, I've got news for you,
Charles.

01:11:33.499 --> 01:11:35.084
None of us understand you.

01:11:35.167 --> 01:11:36.669
You're...
You're a freak of nature.

01:11:37.336 --> 01:11:39.922
I'm exhausted spending
two hours in your company.

01:11:40.714 --> 01:11:42.354
Come on, go home.
It's cold tonight, yeah?

01:11:43.092 --> 01:11:44.593
I'll see you Friday.

01:11:45.511 --> 01:11:47.221
<i>Oh, she's a big lass</i>

01:11:47.304 --> 01:11:49.848
<i>An' a bonny lass
An' she likes her beer</i>

01:12:01.986 --> 01:12:02.987
Here.

01:12:03.737 --> 01:12:04.822
Bye.

01:12:11.453 --> 01:12:13.122
Put that one over there!

01:12:20.004 --> 01:12:21.130
Boys!

01:12:22.006 --> 01:12:24.216
This here is Charlie Dickens.

01:12:25.259 --> 01:12:27.019
And what was it you was
just telling me, lad?

01:12:27.094 --> 01:12:28.345
About your dad?

01:12:35.227 --> 01:12:36.979
My father is a gentleman.

01:12:38.772 --> 01:12:39.898
Where is he, then?

01:12:39.982 --> 01:12:41.233
Dining with the Queen?

01:12:41.316 --> 01:12:43.152
I 'eard he's been sent
to prison.

01:12:43.235 --> 01:12:45.195
Hush, you lot!
Get back to work!

01:12:45.279 --> 01:12:46.447
Master Dickens...

01:12:47.823 --> 01:12:49.241
No shirkin' here!

01:12:52.703 --> 01:12:54.371
You're no
better than us, cocker.

01:12:54.455 --> 01:12:56.331
And you'd best learn that.

01:13:29.990 --> 01:13:31.366
You, what are you doing?

01:13:32.826 --> 01:13:34.578
Hello, Charlie, old boy.

01:13:34.661 --> 01:13:36.663
Father?
What are you doing here?

01:13:36.997 --> 01:13:38.540
Oh, I had some business

01:13:38.624 --> 01:13:40.501
that I had to attend to,
so I thought...

01:13:40.584 --> 01:13:41.585
You just left town.

01:13:41.668 --> 01:13:43.253
What business
could you possibly have?

01:13:43.337 --> 01:13:45.422
What's that?

01:13:48.884 --> 01:13:50.094
You're going to sell this?

01:13:51.178 --> 01:13:52.805
Well, it's no good to you,
is it?

01:13:53.931 --> 01:13:55.599
Is that what
you've been doing?

01:13:55.682 --> 01:13:57.160
Going through the rubbish
like a tramp?

01:13:57.184 --> 01:13:58.644
Selling bits
and pieces of me.

01:13:58.727 --> 01:14:00.229
Is this your business?

01:14:02.356 --> 01:14:04.066
Aren't you ashamed?
What?

01:14:05.150 --> 01:14:07.861
I bought you a house,
I gave you an allowance.

01:14:08.654 --> 01:14:10.697
What more
can you possibly need?

01:14:10.781 --> 01:14:13.158
Need? Oh.

01:14:13.242 --> 01:14:14.827
Reason not the need.

01:14:15.244 --> 01:14:17.204
You see me here, you gods...
No. No.

01:14:17.287 --> 01:14:19.915
No. No. Shh! Stop it!
A poor old man!

01:14:20.415 --> 01:14:24.628
Charlie, you don't know
what it's like to be poor.

01:14:25.295 --> 01:14:26.296
To be nothing.

01:14:26.380 --> 01:14:28.423
At 11 years old
I was made to know.

01:14:29.174 --> 01:14:31.635
Working 12 hours a day,

01:14:31.718 --> 01:14:35.931
going hungry, alone,
and afraid,

01:14:36.014 --> 01:14:37.474
because your father,

01:14:37.558 --> 01:14:39.226
who is supposed
to care for you,

01:14:39.309 --> 01:14:41.145
is so utterly thriftless!

01:14:41.228 --> 01:14:42.437
No, please.

01:14:42.521 --> 01:14:43.605
I beg you.

01:14:43.689 --> 01:14:45.274
No, you are not
the victim here.

01:14:45.357 --> 01:14:46.584
This is about me
and your family

01:14:46.608 --> 01:14:48.169
and all of us who've lived
their whole lives

01:14:48.193 --> 01:14:49.903
in the shadow
of your recklessness.

01:14:54.491 --> 01:14:55.534
Go away.

01:14:55.617 --> 01:14:57.870
I am sickened
at the sight of you.

01:14:59.037 --> 01:15:02.207
You are nothing, but a drag
and chain upon my life.

01:15:02.332 --> 01:15:03.584
I owe you nothing.

01:15:03.667 --> 01:15:05.752
Go!
Charlie...

01:15:35.574 --> 01:15:37.367
- Who's that, then?
- Nobody.

01:15:37.576 --> 01:15:38.952
The author.

01:15:39.036 --> 01:15:41.496
No wonder he looks
so depressed.

01:15:46.668 --> 01:15:48.795
Right. That's enough.
Back to work.

01:15:48.879 --> 01:15:50.839
God bless us, everyone.

01:15:50.923 --> 01:15:52.758
Why are you
so miserable?

01:15:52.841 --> 01:15:53.902
What else can I be,

01:15:53.926 --> 01:15:55.486
when I live in such a world
of fools as this?

01:15:55.510 --> 01:15:56.762
A mean-spirited,

01:15:56.845 --> 01:15:58.263
- cynical...
- Oh, yes?

01:15:58.347 --> 01:16:00.015
Well, you look
in the mirror sometime.

01:16:00.098 --> 01:16:01.850
"Is that a new candle, Kate?"

01:16:01.934 --> 01:16:04.228
"Your services
are no longer required."

01:16:04.311 --> 01:16:05.604
Well, hypocrite.

01:16:09.816 --> 01:16:11.360
- What?
- Pardon me, sir.

01:16:11.443 --> 01:16:12.879
Mrs. Dickens just wanted
me to ask...

01:16:12.903 --> 01:16:14.279
This is intolerable.
Mrs. Fisk!

01:16:15.072 --> 01:16:16.406
Mrs. Fisk!

01:16:16.865 --> 01:16:17.866
Yes, sir?

01:16:17.950 --> 01:16:19.368
Take this child away from here

01:16:19.451 --> 01:16:21.137
and see that she never
disturbs me ever again!

01:16:21.161 --> 01:16:22.162
Do you hear?

01:16:22.955 --> 01:16:24.748
Yes, sir.
Come with me, girl.

01:16:27.084 --> 01:16:29.920
Oh, yes! Banish her!
Banish them all!

01:16:30.003 --> 01:16:32.923
Quiet!
Humanity's great benefactor.

01:16:33.006 --> 01:16:34.341
- Humbug!
- Shut it!

01:16:34.424 --> 01:16:36.760
Or I'll make you bald
with bad teeth.

01:16:36.843 --> 01:16:39.263
Oh, yeah, go ahead.
It won't change a thing.

01:16:39.596 --> 01:16:41.890
You still won't have
an ending.

01:16:47.479 --> 01:16:48.599
This is ridiculous.

01:16:49.856 --> 01:16:52.359
You're all being ridiculous!

01:16:59.283 --> 01:17:00.575
Come on out!

01:17:00.659 --> 01:17:02.077
If you be a man!

01:17:03.328 --> 01:17:05.747
Come on then, coward!

01:17:05.831 --> 01:17:07.207
Fight me!

01:17:07.291 --> 01:17:09.293
You miserable fool!

01:17:09.835 --> 01:17:12.129
Fight me!

01:17:13.130 --> 01:17:14.298
Come on!

01:18:00.844 --> 01:18:02.220
Tara...

01:18:03.221 --> 01:18:04.348
Tara?

01:18:07.184 --> 01:18:08.477
Has anybody seen Tara?

01:18:08.560 --> 01:18:09.644
She's gone.

01:18:10.020 --> 01:18:11.980
You asked Mrs. Fisk
to send her away.

01:18:12.272 --> 01:18:15.108
Well, go and search for her.
Find her.

01:18:15.442 --> 01:18:17.194
Rehire her at once!

01:18:17.277 --> 01:18:18.862
An Irish orphan in London?

01:18:19.404 --> 01:18:22.657
That would be like looking
for a needle in a haystack.

01:18:23.575 --> 01:18:26.495
Come on, out.
Come on, Jenny, off you go.

01:18:26.578 --> 01:18:28.372
Quick sticks. That's it.

01:18:30.332 --> 01:18:31.875
Why didn't you stop her?

01:18:31.958 --> 01:18:33.877
How was I to know
you didn't mean it?

01:18:33.960 --> 01:18:35.670
You said...
I say a lot of things

01:18:35.754 --> 01:18:38.048
that are nonsense
when I'm working.

01:18:38.131 --> 01:18:39.174
Charles...

01:18:39.257 --> 01:18:42.094
You know how ideas
take possession of me.

01:18:42.177 --> 01:18:43.937
You knew what I was like
when you married me.

01:18:44.304 --> 01:18:46.515
Yes. I did.

01:18:48.350 --> 01:18:49.935
But you have no idea

01:18:50.018 --> 01:18:51.728
what it's like
to live with you.

01:18:53.146 --> 01:18:56.733
Always walking on eggshells,
trying to guess your mood,

01:18:57.067 --> 01:18:58.360
to know which of your commands

01:18:58.443 --> 01:19:00.195
are a whim
and which are in earnest.

01:19:01.863 --> 01:19:03.824
You know, sometimes I...

01:19:05.409 --> 01:19:08.620
I feel your characters
matter more to you

01:19:08.703 --> 01:19:10.956
than your own flesh and blood.

01:19:19.214 --> 01:19:20.424
Well, I am who I am.

01:19:22.050 --> 01:19:23.635
And who is that?

01:19:24.803 --> 01:19:27.055
It's as if
there are two of you.

01:19:27.139 --> 01:19:31.351
One who is kind and gentle.
And a secret self,

01:19:32.060 --> 01:19:34.896
that no one is allowed
to know or question.

01:20:54.893 --> 01:20:57.270
<i>This here is Charlie Dickens.</i>

01:20:57.938 --> 01:20:59.523
<i>What was it
you was telling me, lad?</i>

01:20:59.606 --> 01:21:00.815
<i>About your dad?</i>

01:21:02.859 --> 01:21:05.362
<i>My father is a gentleman.</i>

01:21:06.780 --> 01:21:08.949
<i>Where is he, then?
Dining with the Queen?</i>

01:21:09.491 --> 01:21:11.034
<i>I 'eard he's been
sent to prison.</i>

01:21:11.326 --> 01:21:12.327
<i>Hush, you lot!</i>

01:21:12.410 --> 01:21:14.371
<i>Where's your manners?
Get back to work!</i>

01:21:14.955 --> 01:21:16.540
<i>Master Dickens...</i>

01:21:16.623 --> 01:21:19.459
<i>Got a present
for the young gentleman...</i>

01:21:19.543 --> 01:21:22.295
<i>Seeing as it's Christmas.</i>

01:21:32.806 --> 01:21:34.641
Blood of iron, heart of ice.

01:21:34.724 --> 01:21:36.810
<i>You're no
better than us, cocker.</i>

01:21:43.483 --> 01:21:45.026
Hello, Charlie.

01:21:46.069 --> 01:21:49.322
So, this is
your miserable secret.

01:21:50.073 --> 01:21:51.449
The famous author,

01:21:51.533 --> 01:21:54.244
the inimitable
Charles Dickens,

01:21:54.494 --> 01:21:58.290
was once
a scabby little factory boy.

01:21:59.291 --> 01:22:00.500
Leave me be.

01:22:00.584 --> 01:22:04.629
A common bit of riffraff,
a squalid wretch...

01:22:04.713 --> 01:22:06.298
No use to anyone!

01:22:20.020 --> 01:22:21.146
Look for yourself.

01:22:21.229 --> 01:22:22.897
What do you see, huh?

01:22:22.981 --> 01:22:26.985
A nothing. A nobody.
A debtor's son.

01:22:27.068 --> 01:22:29.654
Who could ever care for you?

01:22:31.906 --> 01:22:33.533
Certainly not your father.

01:22:33.617 --> 01:22:35.869
He abandoned you.

01:22:36.119 --> 01:22:37.239
Enough of that.

01:22:37.621 --> 01:22:40.707
Stand up tall.
Blood of iron, heart of ice.

01:22:41.625 --> 01:22:44.002
He failed you
again and again.

01:22:50.216 --> 01:22:51.843
You said so yourself.

01:22:51.926 --> 01:22:55.055
Nothing but a drag and chain
upon your life.

01:22:56.973 --> 01:22:58.266
Who are you?

01:22:58.350 --> 01:22:59.351
Huh?

01:23:00.810 --> 01:23:02.479
You know me, Charlie.

01:23:03.813 --> 01:23:05.190
I'm hunger.

01:23:05.690 --> 01:23:06.983
I'm cold.

01:23:07.984 --> 01:23:09.527
I'm darkness...

01:23:11.446 --> 01:23:13.948
I'm a shadow on your thoughts,

01:23:14.032 --> 01:23:16.701
the crack in your heart,

01:23:17.869 --> 01:23:20.830
and the stain
upon your soul...

01:23:22.624 --> 01:23:25.919
And I will never,
ever leave you.

01:23:28.463 --> 01:23:31.341
Go away.
Why? We're having such fun.

01:23:33.134 --> 01:23:34.678
People don't change, Charlie.

01:23:34.761 --> 01:23:35.887
Look around you.

01:23:35.970 --> 01:23:38.390
You're still the same
scabby boy.

01:23:39.015 --> 01:23:41.309
Useless,
just like your father.

01:23:44.270 --> 01:23:45.313
No...

01:23:47.941 --> 01:23:49.651
"No one is useless
in this world

01:23:49.734 --> 01:23:52.153
"who lightens the burden
of another."

01:23:53.655 --> 01:23:55.657
My father taught me that.

01:24:07.335 --> 01:24:09.421
Whose grave is that?

01:24:11.798 --> 01:24:13.133
There's no name on it.

01:24:13.216 --> 01:24:14.926
Well, why should there be?

01:24:16.386 --> 01:24:18.096
The man to whom
this grave belongs

01:24:18.179 --> 01:24:20.598
never made himself
useful to anyone but himself.

01:24:21.808 --> 01:24:23.184
No friends.

01:24:23.768 --> 01:24:25.311
No family.

01:24:26.813 --> 01:24:29.649
Never felt love or joy.

01:24:31.192 --> 01:24:33.737
Never took
any kind of pleasure in life.

01:24:42.620 --> 01:24:44.539
And now it's too late.

01:24:45.457 --> 01:24:48.209
It's time, Mr. Scrooge.

01:24:49.627 --> 01:24:51.212
We've come to the end.

01:25:19.407 --> 01:25:21.117
I don't want to die.

01:25:23.411 --> 01:25:24.829
Not like this...

01:25:25.497 --> 01:25:29.626
Alone, unloved, forgotten.

01:25:31.920 --> 01:25:33.338
It's too late.

01:25:33.755 --> 01:25:36.257
It's never too late.
It's never...

01:25:36.424 --> 01:25:38.510
It's never too late.

01:25:45.183 --> 01:25:48.394
I will honor Christmas
in my heart

01:25:48.478 --> 01:25:50.605
and try to keep it
all the year.

01:25:50.688 --> 01:25:54.108
I will live in the Past,
the Present and the Future.

01:25:54.192 --> 01:25:57.779
The spirits of all three
will strive within me.

01:25:57.862 --> 01:26:01.533
I will not shut out
the lessons that they teach.

01:26:04.285 --> 01:26:06.663
Please. I beg you.

01:26:09.707 --> 01:26:15.880
Let me do some good
before I die.

01:26:23.638 --> 01:26:25.765
So we come
to the final chapter.

01:26:29.853 --> 01:26:32.981
Oh, I told you we'd do great
things together, Mr. Scrooge.

01:26:58.715 --> 01:27:00.383
<i>Stave V.</i>

01:27:02.343 --> 01:27:04.053
<i>The End of It.</i>

01:27:07.348 --> 01:27:09.475
<i>Yes! And the bedpost
was his own.</i>

01:27:09.559 --> 01:27:12.061
<i>The bed was his own,
the room was his own.</i>

01:27:13.605 --> 01:27:14.939
<i>Best and happiest of all,</i>

01:27:15.023 --> 01:27:16.399
<i>the time before him
was his own,</i>

01:27:16.482 --> 01:27:18.276
<i>to make amends in!</i>

01:27:19.777 --> 01:27:21.404
<i>Scrooge was better
than his word.</i>

01:27:21.654 --> 01:27:23.865
<i>He did it all,
and infinitely more.</i>

01:27:24.115 --> 01:27:26.910
<i>And to Tiny Tim,
who did not die,</i>

01:27:27.327 --> 01:27:28.912
<i>he was a second father.</i>

01:27:29.871 --> 01:27:35.543
<i>And so, as Tiny Tim observed,
"God bless us, every one!"</i>

01:27:38.504 --> 01:27:39.505
<i>The End.</i>

01:27:42.508 --> 01:27:43.885
The End.

01:27:51.768 --> 01:27:53.102
Charles?
What?

01:27:53.436 --> 01:27:54.580
There is someone here
to see you.

01:27:54.604 --> 01:27:55.605
Not now, Kate, please.

01:27:55.688 --> 01:27:57.328
I have to get this to
the printer by 9:00.

01:28:07.075 --> 01:28:08.159
Tara.

01:28:09.410 --> 01:28:11.079
Thank you for the loan.

01:28:11.162 --> 01:28:12.330
Oh.

01:28:14.165 --> 01:28:15.500
Well, thank you.

01:28:18.378 --> 01:28:19.504
It's good, isn't it?

01:28:22.507 --> 01:28:23.967
Yes, sir.

01:28:24.050 --> 01:28:25.510
It was fizzing.

01:28:25.843 --> 01:28:27.720
"Fizzing"?

01:28:27.804 --> 01:28:29.472
That's delightful.

01:28:31.516 --> 01:28:32.600
Tara...

01:28:35.687 --> 01:28:37.397
I am very sorry
that I sent you away.

01:28:37.480 --> 01:28:39.774
That was a mistake,
and I was...

01:28:43.611 --> 01:28:46.823
And you were right about
Tiny Tim. He doesn't die.

01:28:47.031 --> 01:28:49.701
Scrooge helps him
to get better.

01:28:49.867 --> 01:28:52.537
And does he help Scrooge
get better, too?

01:28:55.748 --> 01:28:56.833
Yes.

01:28:57.875 --> 01:28:59.043
Yes, he does.

01:29:04.924 --> 01:29:06.050
Where did that come from?

01:29:06.634 --> 01:29:08.720
A gift. For the children.

01:29:09.804 --> 01:29:10.972
From your father.

01:29:11.514 --> 01:29:12.890
My father was here?

01:29:13.391 --> 01:29:16.394
You can still catch him, if...

01:29:16.769 --> 01:29:17.770
Oh!

01:29:20.940 --> 01:29:22.358
Kate...

01:29:25.403 --> 01:29:27.905
I know.
You don't deserve me.

01:29:28.072 --> 01:29:29.115
Go.

01:29:29.741 --> 01:29:30.783
Go.

01:29:35.455 --> 01:29:37.665
- Cab!
- Whoa!

01:29:38.791 --> 01:29:41.627
Paddington Station!
As fast as you can!

01:29:41.711 --> 01:29:42.795
Oy! Oy!

01:29:47.091 --> 01:29:48.384
Whoa!

01:29:48.468 --> 01:29:49.469
Turn around!

01:29:49.969 --> 01:29:51.429
And wait for me here!

01:29:51.512 --> 01:29:53.973
Oy! Stop!

01:29:54.057 --> 01:29:56.100
Stop! Police!
Wait!

01:29:57.060 --> 01:29:59.270
Wait, wait, please! Where do
you think you're going?

01:29:59.353 --> 01:30:01.606
What?
Oh, please, dear.

01:30:01.689 --> 01:30:02.815
Don't make a scene.

01:30:02.899 --> 01:30:04.942
We're going away.
No, you're not. Please.

01:30:05.026 --> 01:30:07.153
Police! Get out of the way!

01:30:07.653 --> 01:30:08.863
Clear the way! Let me through!

01:30:09.322 --> 01:30:11.616
- Oh. What have I done now?
- No, it's...

01:30:12.575 --> 01:30:14.702
It's what you haven't done.
What do you mean?

01:30:15.703 --> 01:30:17.705
Well, who's going
to carve the turkey?

01:30:17.789 --> 01:30:20.291
And who's going to
make the Christmas pudding?

01:30:20.374 --> 01:30:21.751
It won't be the same
without you.

01:30:21.834 --> 01:30:23.586
The pudding!

01:30:23.669 --> 01:30:26.547
The secret is to warm
the treacle first.

01:30:26.631 --> 01:30:27.840
There, you are.

01:30:27.924 --> 01:30:30.885
You see, my dear? I told you
something would turn up.

01:30:31.719 --> 01:30:33.888
Oh, my son. Oh...

01:30:35.264 --> 01:30:36.474
Gotcha!

01:30:38.059 --> 01:30:39.936
You're that Charles Dickens,
aren't you?

01:30:40.019 --> 01:30:41.479
Uh, guilty.

01:30:41.562 --> 01:30:44.065
That last one<i>. Chuzzlewit.</i>

01:30:44.148 --> 01:30:45.358
Wept like a baby, I did.

01:30:46.651 --> 01:30:48.319
Well, that's nice.
That's very kind.

01:30:48.402 --> 01:30:49.463
What's your name, Constable?

01:30:49.487 --> 01:30:51.697
My name? Copperfield, sir.

01:30:52.865 --> 01:30:54.158
Copperfield.

01:30:54.867 --> 01:30:56.244
Any chance of a new book soon?

01:30:56.327 --> 01:30:58.955
New book.
New book!

01:31:01.332 --> 01:31:02.542
New book. Bye.

01:31:03.042 --> 01:31:04.544
Merry Christmas!

01:31:05.920 --> 01:31:07.922
I'm his father.

01:31:10.967 --> 01:31:13.386
Shoe Lane!
As fast as you can go!

01:31:21.894 --> 01:31:23.705
Charles! Where have you been?
It's all right. I've got it!

01:31:23.729 --> 01:31:25.690
Mr. Grub! Mr. Grub.

01:31:26.190 --> 01:31:28.651
We're here. I have it.

01:31:28.734 --> 01:31:31.070
I have the ending.
He can finish it now.

01:31:32.155 --> 01:31:33.156
It's too late.

01:31:34.073 --> 01:31:35.158
- What?
- Oh, come on.

01:31:35.241 --> 01:31:36.718
You've already printed
the other four chapters

01:31:36.742 --> 01:31:37.743
and it's just one more.

01:31:37.827 --> 01:31:39.467
You can get the whole book
finished today.

01:31:44.917 --> 01:31:46.294
I can't guarantee anything.

01:31:46.377 --> 01:31:48.462
Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Grub!

01:31:48.546 --> 01:31:50.339
Thank you.

01:31:51.174 --> 01:31:53.259
I didn't say I could do it.

01:32:07.064 --> 01:32:08.441
Well, I'll see what I can do.

01:32:19.911 --> 01:32:21.954
Oh, come on, man.
Don't prolong the agony.

01:33:12.171 --> 01:33:13.881
It's exactly
as I'd imagined it.

01:33:20.346 --> 01:33:21.472
Hello, gents.

01:33:21.555 --> 01:33:24.350
Extraordinary weather,
isn't it? Looks like snow.

01:33:24.433 --> 01:33:25.893
Hello, Thackeray.

01:33:25.977 --> 01:33:28.062
Oh. What's this I have?

01:33:28.145 --> 01:33:29.146
Yes.

01:33:29.230 --> 01:33:30.940
It's a proof copy
of your new book.

01:33:31.524 --> 01:33:33.901
I'm going to review it
for <i>The Spectator.</i>

01:33:34.527 --> 01:33:37.488
I'm told you wrote it
in only six weeks, Charles.

01:33:37.571 --> 01:33:39.615
What a prodigy you are.

01:33:45.371 --> 01:33:47.665
Did you bring
that all the way from Italy?

01:33:47.748 --> 01:33:49.250
<i>Sì. Venezia.</i>

01:33:50.167 --> 01:33:51.168
And now...

01:33:51.627 --> 01:33:57.300
And now, the beautiful mermaid
floats through the sea.

01:34:10.104 --> 01:34:11.415
'Allo, old girl!

01:34:11.439 --> 01:34:12.773
Oh.

01:34:14.191 --> 01:34:16.777
Oh, my goodness.
That is beautiful.

01:34:16.861 --> 01:34:19.405
Isn't it? The Germans
call it a Tannenbaum.

01:34:19.488 --> 01:34:20.990
It's a tree for Christmas.

01:34:21.073 --> 01:34:22.325
A Christmas tree, I suppose.

01:34:22.408 --> 01:34:23.909
Now the royal family
have got one,

01:34:23.993 --> 01:34:26.037
it'll be all the rage.

01:34:28.039 --> 01:34:29.248
Hello!
Miss Wigmore!

01:34:29.332 --> 01:34:30.374
Ah!

01:34:30.750 --> 01:34:32.335
Papa had a change of heart!

01:34:33.336 --> 01:34:34.712
Ha-ha!

01:34:34.795 --> 01:34:36.839
Oh, I'm so pleased!
Congratulations.

01:34:36.922 --> 01:34:39.091
Charles, I think you're going
to want to hear this.

01:34:39.175 --> 01:34:40.176
It's by Thackeray.

01:34:40.259 --> 01:34:41.761
Not now...
No, please,

01:34:41.844 --> 01:34:43.429
everyone, gather 'round.

01:34:52.646 --> 01:34:54.815
"It was a blessed inspiration

01:34:54.899 --> 01:34:58.986
"that put such a book into
the head of Charles Dickens.

01:35:00.946 --> 01:35:03.324
"A happy inspiration
of the heart,

01:35:03.449 --> 01:35:05.785
"that warms every page.

01:35:06.869 --> 01:35:09.080
"It is impossible to read

01:35:09.163 --> 01:35:12.333
"without a glowing bosom
and burning cheeks,

01:35:12.917 --> 01:35:17.797
"between love
and shame of our kind."

01:35:17.880 --> 01:35:20.216
Aw...
Bravo, Charles.

01:35:22.968 --> 01:35:24.678
Well, uh...

01:35:24.762 --> 01:35:26.514
Ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls...

01:35:31.310 --> 01:35:33.104
And those on the way.

01:35:34.772 --> 01:35:36.357
A toast...

01:35:36.440 --> 01:35:38.234
I wish you all many,

01:35:39.235 --> 01:35:42.780
many happy Christmases
and friendships,

01:35:42.863 --> 01:35:44.240
and great accumulation

01:35:44.323 --> 01:35:46.659
of cheerful recollections

01:35:46.867 --> 01:35:48.577
and heaven
at last for all of us.

01:35:49.412 --> 01:35:50.746
In the season of hope,

01:35:50.830 --> 01:35:53.916
we will shut out nothing
from our firesides

01:35:54.708 --> 01:35:57.253
and everyone will be welcome.

01:36:05.386 --> 01:36:08.139
<i>Welcome what has been
and what is...</i>

01:36:10.724 --> 01:36:12.351
<i>And what we hope may be,</i>

01:36:12.435 --> 01:36:15.187
<i>to this shelter underneath
the holly.</i>

01:36:21.777 --> 01:36:25.197
Merry, merry Christmas
to one and all.

01:36:25.448 --> 01:36:27.950
Merry Christmas!
