Alms to the poor!

Share the joy of Christmas

Alms for the poor

God bless you, sir.

Sir? Madam?

A little extra

Do you have some change for this beautiful hat?

Half a crown for a half-blind man?

Or not.

God bless you. Merry Christmas, sir!

Alms to the poor

Come on! I'm freezing here.

Who would want half a crown for a half-blind man?

It's time for kindness.

Beggars!

Beggars begging.

They beg for it!

They beg so they don't have to do anything.

Humanity should charge interest on kindness.

And what is your experience with kindness?

Panel Marley?

I did it once.

when I agreed to get in touch with you

many years ago.

Twenty-one.

Serious?

Feel free to watch it to your heart's content.

but my eye for detail

is the reason why

Our doors have remained open ever since.

Undoubtedly,

Your enthusiasm for your work is your most valuable trait.

I'm letting you know that you are the only human.

who allow me to speak thus to you.

As if I needed your permission.

My apologies for the disruption.

I brought the water to a boil.

Al

you're leaving

Are you home yet, young Cratchit?

Yes, Mr. Marley, if you don't mind.

Unless there are other urgent matters that require attention?

No.

You can continue straight at sunrise.

But tomorrow is Christmas Eve, sir.

The thing is, my youngest son is.

We don't care.

These are private matters.

And if you hope to rise above your position as a writer,

Make sure they stay that way.

Yes, Mr. Marley.

I'll be there first thing tomorrow morning.

I turn on the kettle.

You already said that.

You repeat yourself often.

I try to avoid it.

Try harder.

Sure, sir.

Good evening.

Good evening, Mr. Scrooge.

Merry christmas.

Christmas is for children.

Not for men with prestige and a business mind.

Certainly.

Let's warm up with a cup of tea and a glass of gin.

And let's toast to a prosperous New Year!

Thanks to those who are too poor and too blind.

to pay off their debts.

Alms to the poor!

Share the Christmas joy!

Do you have change?

Look at him.

What an idiot!

That's nice of you.

Charlatan!

Jacob?

Jacob?

What?

He says:

“Do you want to say something?”

No.

Was he your friend?

My business partner.

So a big loss.

Should his death be recorded in the register,

then yes, the "loss" column

would be appropriate.

Go on.

That man wasn't very popular.

A person with values ​​never is.

Good day, gentlemen.

Late

Hello Bob.

Merry Christmas, Uncle Ebenezer.

Nonsense.

Christmas, just nonsense?

You don't mean it.

But yes, I think so!

It's freezing here.

Someone could get hurt here.

But you carry your coldness within you.

What right do you have to be so cheerful?

Why are you so grumpy?

Cheerfulness has never evened the scales.

And what else is Christmas?

than the time we are a year away.

older, one step closer

Grave, and not an hour richer?

If I could do it my own way,

Every idiot runs through the streets with "Merry Christmas" on their lips.

must be cooked in its own pudding

and buried with a sprig of holly in his heart.

Celebrate Christmas your way.

and let me celebrate it in my own way.

You don't celebrate them.

Leave me alone!

Uncle, that's not true.

Kindness, forgiveness

and goodness is appreciated.

The only time of the year when men and women open their hearts to each other.

and regard the most miserable people as their neighbors.

and not for a strange being.

If Christmas never put an ounce of gold in my pocket

I am convinced that I have benefited from it and that I will continue to benefit from it in the future.

May God bless Christmas.

Where do you think you are?

Another sound

And you celebrate Christmas by losing your place.

And now, if you have come

If you ask me something, turn it off.

so I can throw you out.

and return to your duties

Have lunch with us tonight.

It will be a great joy for my wife and me.

But why?

I have no opinion about it.

Why on earth did you marry that poor woman?

Because I fell in love.

Have you fallen in love?

Good afternoon!

Uncle, please.

I expect nothing from you, I ask nothing of you.

- Can't we be friends? - You don't have to.

Definitely not your type.

I'm sorry.

I don't know why you are like this.

We never had an argument.

But I braved the cold in honor of Christmas.

And despite your reproaches, I will keep my good humor.

So I'll tell you again.

Nonsense.

Merry christmas!

Nonsense.

And Happy New Year!

Nonsense.

It was nice of him to stop by.

What?

Good morning.

Hello, you too.

I have the honor of speaking with Mr. Scrooge.

Or Mr. Marley?

Mr. Marley has passed away.

We have no doubts about it.

that his generosity may be duly represented by his surviving companion:

In this festive period,

It is common to choose a light tour.

for the poor and needy.

for the poor and needy.

Do prisons not exist then?

workhouses

They still work, right?

I'm afraid so.

We try to select resources,

to buy food and drinks for the poor.

and fuel for heating.

Especially during this period.

The need is great.

And abundance abounds.

What amount should I register for?

For nothing.

Do you want to remain anonymous?

I want to be left alone.

I support the above institutions.

It costs me enough already.

People who need help should go there.

Many of them would rather die than go there.

If they want to die, let them hurry.

This will reduce overcrowding.

But if you would be so kind and...

satisfy my curiosity, how much

of these charitable donations

Did it end up in the silk pockets of your pockets?

Custom made vests.

Abundance wins in the end.

Thank you.

Enough is enough.

You can always count on Scrooge McDuck and Marley.

For nothing!

Ani vindra.

-Good day. Good day.

Pane Boneme.

Have a nice day!

Damn fog.

A real pea.

No Christmas weather.

I assume you want the whole day off tomorrow?

If you like that.

I don't like it.

And that's not fair.

It's only once a year.

A lame excuse for how I get turned around on December 25th every year.

The world is full of charlatans and villains.

They are very greedy, especially during the holidays.

My mother often said:

"The Existence of Bad Apples"

does not rule out the presence of good fruit.”

Did she say that?

A typical lie from a mother to her child.

Good.

I guess you can take that day off.

The next day though

You arrive at sunrise.

No excuses, sir.

And cheerful...

I forbid you!

Good evening.

Jacob?

Nonsense.

Jacob Marley.

Listen. You're worrying for nothing.

I have nothing worth stealing.

Go away!

And leave me alone.

Please!

4

What do you want from me?

A lot of.

Show yourself.

Who are you?

In my life

I was your companion.

That's not possible.

No, that's impossible.

Why do you doubt your senses?

Jacob Marley

He's dead.

As dead as a doorknob.

And yet here I am.

However.

Yes, you are a very strange spirit.

If it's really you,

Can you sit down?

I can do it.

Then do it.

Much more civilized.

A person with a materialistic attitude,

Do you believe in me, yes or no?

How do I appear to you in a form that you can see?

I can't say that.

I walk, freed from time.

A prisoner of the chains I have forged in my life.

produced article after article

meter by meter.

And of my own free will,

I wore it without seeing it.

until the day of his death.

Do you know the weight and height of the person you are dragging behind you?

Your chain

It is heavy and massive.

Jacob.

Jacob Marley.

You were my dearest friend.

Tell me words of comfort.

I don't have one.

I am doomed, like many others, to wander the world.

and see what we couldn't share

But what could we share with each other on earth?

and what could bring joy

My mind has never gone beyond our treasury.

never went beyond strict limits

the hole that was our exchange office.

That's why

I pay now.

perpetual tax.

Listen to me, I'm here tonight.

to warn you.

Ty...

You still have a chance.

hope,

that you will escape my fate.

How?

You will be persecuted.

Three ghosts.

Without their visit

You cannot avoid the path I have chosen.

Is this the opportunity and hope you talked about?

Yes.

I'd rather avoid that.

c.

The first arrives when the clock strikes one o'clock.

But come on, Jacob...

It's certainly negotiable.

1

There is certainly room for negotiation.

Perhaps purely for economic reasons,

I could take all three at once and be done.

Let's just leave the conversation.

About chains and ghosts.

It is an unnecessary expense for both parties.

Don't try to meet me again.

In your own interest,

Ebenezer,

Remember what happened between us.

Ebenezer!

Help us!

Break your chains.

Think of Ebenezeri!

As long as it's still possible

Jacob!

F

Being.

Grapes,

A disgusting dream.

Who... What are you?

I am the Ghost of Christmas Past.

What brings you here?

Your well-being.

A good rest would do you good.

Get up

and take my hand.

Take me back to the past.

Let's see if it matches your memory.

No, I don't want that.

Take my hand.

I don't want to.

I'm not leaving this bed.

M Voice within

Fine.

Staff!

Get up.

Nonsense

If I pull this blanket off,

I'm going back to bed.

in my nice, cozy bed.

It's very simple.

To wait.

To wait.

I know this place.

I lived there as a child.

That's my old school.

How did I get here?

How on earth did I get here?

School

not quite yet

It's not quite there yet.

It's not quite the same yet.

description

abandoned.

Ghost?

Ghost?

Ebenezer

young man,

Where can I find your master?

Young man!

I speak to you.

Do you have no manners at all?

Do you have no manners at all?

A forgotten and lonely boy,

here alone, abandoned,

while others go to celebrate Christmas.

What the hell is this?

It's me, the youngest.

Like I used to be.

Why can't he see me?

What did you do to him?

These are just shadows.

things that were.

They are not aware of our presence.

So this isn't the place of my childhood?

That is to say...

era

your youth.

This memory offers no comfort.

Would you like to see more shadows of this place?

No.

Do you want your marbles back?

Come get them. Fight.

Here, you bastard, your balls.

Stop it!

Go away!

Leave him alone!

Are you doing well?

That's mine.

Why are you here?

We have come to take you home.

Forever.

"Mine"?

Dad's here.

Don't worry.

On account.

Posted

You'll see.

He agrees to allow you to return permanently.

Is that correct?

Ebenezer

It will be a true paradise.

How I missed you!

I missed you too.

Come on.

Home for Christmas

Your sister was a fragile person.

who died at a young age.

Too young.

But not too young

Bringing a child into the world.

And yet you keep him at a distance.

The sadness has hardened you.

When you know so much.

Tell me.

Shall we meet at the hour of my death?

I don't see the future.

only the past

only the past

and what it entails

what it brings about!

This is my repentance.

because I didn't value the time I was given.

What more could you want from this day?

Do you remember?

I still remember that moment.

Little Fanny was right.

But that house wasn't a paradise for long.

It quickly became hell again.

Ebenezer!

Get back here, boy!

You have to earn a living to continue living in this house.

Where are you?

You won't run away forever!

You almost froze to death hiding in that icy water.

You'd probably be dead.

To be the only source of warmth in your life

Stop it.

Enough.

You have no right to see this. None of this at all.

My life

He's not here to entertain you.

Enough, I said!

Enough of this nightmare.

Your nightmare

It's just the beginning.

And what do you expect from me?

That I will change my behavior?

Just by poking your nose into my past?

Yes, I'm not perfect!

My father wasn't perfect.

Times were tough: hunger storms, famines!

No one was safe with us.

You can try to ignore the past.

But the past will not close its eyes to you.

Life has always been cruel and miserable.

Always?

Let's see.

to another

Christmas.

Do you understand the sadness this image conveys?

A?

Many things can happen in silence.

of which I have hitherto had an abundance.

There will be no more work tonight.

It's Christmas Eve and

The festivities are in full swing.

- Why aren't you here? - Believe me, I was there.

But our beloved employer

Fezziwig even thought so

A poor student like you has the right to have fun.

He gave the order to come get you...

a bleak existence.

Real.

I bet everything on him

Umbrellas in London, which I will deliver for you.

And how do you plan to do that?

It's simple.

Great, I brought you along.

Life isn't that miserable here.

Good old Fezziwig!

God bless him.

Fezziwig has been resurrected.

When I are

The writer seemed old to me, but

When I see him again now, he is

I can't believe how young he was. Just like all of us.

It is enough to

those stupid people

It sparked so much gratitude.

That's not enough.

He has spent only a few pounds of your earthly money.

It doesn't matter.

He had the power to make us happy or

unhappy, to make our work easy or difficult.

Perhaps you would like to say a few words to your writer?

What's going on?

Just say the word.

What did Fezziwig benefit from all this generosity?

The miserable beggar

thanks for being

kindness by sticking a knife in the stomach.

Ebenezer!

Nice to see you.

Come dance.

I can't.

Who is this?

For me, Belle.

It's been years since I had the courage to say her name.

And what did it mean to you?

For a while...

She was everything.

I don't know anymore.

the contents of our

conversations, then

It seemed more important than my own breathing.

How lucky we were!

that we were in such a busy world!

And too innocent to realize how precious it was.

She knew how much I loved literature as a child.

She wanted to become a writer herself.

Belle showed me a side of life I didn't know.

As a writer I had little free time.

That's why I didn't read much of what she recommended.

But every moment I spent with her...

It was time well spent.

Once you have finished reading them, I will choose a new batch for you.

Even in the performance of their duties

I just kept looking.

her sweet face.

Then what is it?

A lock of her hair,

that she gave me.

I ran my fingers through it each time.

that I was far away from her.

I admired her passion.

If I had to work late into the night, so did she.

She crept into my needy side.

live to invent her own

stories to enjoy, beautiful

to the dreams she immediately started giving me

to tell as soon as I walked through the door.

But sooner or later...

We have to face reality.

Is that necessary?

Otherwise we wouldn't call them dreams.

Despite my absence at home

My work was flawless.

I'm climbing the career ladder much faster than expected.

I showed them all,

to his father, to his so-called comrades,

to all who doubted me,

that I am willing to pay the price for success,

Whatever I did.

You don't care.

But another idol took my place.

Which idol?

Golden statue.

May it comfort you more than I do!

Nothing fascinates a person more than poverty.

I'm trying to keep us safe. Don't you see that?

I see you prefer shade to sun.

I can't live like this anymore. You're too afraid of the world.

You don't know anything about him.

You live in your imagination.

I've watched your ambitious goals go up in smoke one by one.

Our promise is old.

We were poor and happy.

- You were a different person. - I was a boy.

I don't know how many times I've thought about it.

But it's enough for me to know that I've thought about it.

I give you your freedom back.

I didn't ask for it.

Not in words.

How?

Because of your changed nature, your hardened mind.

Your feeling tells you, I know that.

Would you like to seek my company today?

Would you, who measure everything by profit, choose a girl without a dowry?

Wouldn't regret come too late?

I give you your freedom back.

A heart full of love for who you used to be.

That's very kind of you.

I will cherish these moments together.

But the memory of the past makes me believe that you will suffer.

just a brief moment,

before you dismiss this memory as a worthless dream.

Nonsense.

Be happy with the life you have chosen.

What are you doing?

What are you doing? You're crazy!

Go after her and make sure she comes back.

You will regret this moment for the rest of your miserable life.

He can't hear you.

Belle!

Sometimes in life

It is better to break than to harden.

Take me home. I've seen enough.

It's too painful to experience this again.

Don't look away.

Take me back!

I can't.

I belong to the past.

But not me!

Take me home.

Stop chasing me!

No, Ghost!

Enough!

Help us!

Ebenezer!

Help us!

You're too late.

What?

Are you going too?

leave.

Sit down, my love.

Do you know me?

I'm sure I would remember.

someone,

like you.

You clearly have an appetite.

I have to do that in my profession.

And what kind of profession is that?

A volatile and miserable profession.

I don't recognize you...

accent.

Which region are you from?

From here and from this moment.

From here and from this moment.

It's going to be a Merry Christmas!

Still the same.

Scammers and deceivers.

They should also prepare them with their pudding.

and bury it with a sprig of holly pierced through the heart.

What do you think about this?

No...

I think I lost.

concept of time

And I have to leave.

After all, tomorrow is Christmas.

Indeed.

Indeed.

new

Indeed.

No, please not.

Spirit...

The Christmas spirit of the future.

I should have thought of that.

I'm not sure I want to get to know you.

You can always try it outside.

S name.

Okay then.

Take me wherever you want.

I don't have all night to do this.

What is it good for?

I don't have to shiver from the cold.

Because of what I see every day, in the warmth outside my window.

This visit isn't about him.

Not you either.

So who?

On.

No mistake, sir.

And cheerful... - I forbid you

Good evening.

Cratchie!

Christmas

They remind us that our Lord was not born.

in gold,

but in a modest stable,

between the animals

and straw.

The one who couldn't find a place to lay his head.

He did not come here to receive,

but to give.

We will do the same.

It is easy to forget that titles, wealth,

admiration

They are not an accurate measure of someone's worth.

We often think that if we earned a little more,

climbed a few steps higher...

What is the boy suffering from?

Don't you know his name?

Why should I know the name of my writer's son?

And why not?

Okay, I understand.

Sit down.

If there's anything else you want to show me, let's do it.

Sit down.

I don't like it here.

Near!

We follow the Lord.

We open our hearts.

Every act of mercy

prepares our minds

for a lifetime of service

God's will.

Now

Let us kneel and pray in silence.

Good night, Mom.

Good night, darling.

What are you doing?

That damn stool is falling apart.

- Leave me alone. - No, that's fine.

What's bothering you?

Tim

Sometimes he says strange things.

On the way home he told me:

that he hopes the parishioners saw him limping.

because it would be nice if they remembered Christmas.

To Him who healed the lame and restored sight to the blind.

If I could make one wish,

It would be up to God to hear our son.

And not just me...

I love you

And I love our children.

And I'm sorry,

that I don't give you anymore.

You do what you can.

That's not enough.

You're a hard worker, Robert.

- You're a good person. - And what good was that?

Our family.

Mine.

You have done everything necessary to move up the social ladder.

When the new year comes, talk to Mr. Scrooge.

You deserve to be added.

Would he really reject you after so long?

For him, that would mean betraying his stubbornness.

When he treats his faithful writer thus,

What hatred does he have for others?

What a disgusting, stingy and insensitive guy he is!

I despise him.

Nonsense!

We can do it.

As always.

We have each other.

It's after midnight.

Well, Merry Christmas, darling.

Let's go to sleep.

I want to emphasize

I hate Cratchit.

In fact, there is nothing more to report.

truth.

I keep him busy, right?

He is a very good employee. Very conscientious.

But that's just a required trait for his position.

Serious?

Seriously,

Yes.

What do you know?

You're not even from this world.

You know nothing about the challenges a marketer faces.

Cratchit is lucky to have a job.

Besides, no one ever gave me anything.

because I have done my duty.

I will make no apologies for my well-earned fortune.

But do you have to be so cruel?

It is not your fortune that is vile, Ebenezer.

And so what?

Your stinginess.

What you call greed

It's just a matter of caution.

Did I say something you thought was funny?

I was stunned.

beyond the length of your chains.

What is your mission?

If not, please help me avoid this fate?

My mission?

I gave that up a long time ago.

I'm only showing you what you need to see.

Whether you learn something from this or not, I don't care.

I don't care what you are,

just like your writer

and his family.

Let's move on.

My time is running out.

One moment please.

Moment.

That stupid boy.

Will he overcome his illness?

I see an empty chair in the corner by the shabby fireplace.

and an unusable stool, carefully stored away.

If these shadows do not change, the child will die.

Can't you miss him?

If he must die, let him do so as quickly as possible.

This will reduce overcrowding.

Benezeri.

If a being's value determines who gets to live or die,

You are undoubtedly worth less than this poor child.

Less useful.

And less worth living.

than millions like him.

That's what you say:

Not just me.

Come on.

Then he said Christmas was rubbish.

WHERE!

And he meant it.

He's quite a comical old man.

However,

his insults

They carry their own punishment within them.

11 He is too rich for a punished soul.

Well, according to you then.

Yes, but money isn't everything.

His wealth is of no use to him.

Not even for his own comfort.

That's a shame.

Fred doesn't dare say it, but I do.

He is a bitter and wizened miser.

It's annoying.

I'll pay you back with interest, goose.

Who suffers from his whims? Just himself, as always.

He therefore misses a fantastic dinner.

And the excellent company of this excellent wine.

Should I feel sorry?

For people who gossip behind my back?

To be honest, I feel sorry for him.

He doesn't dare approach anyone.

Keep it up, Fred.

I just said...

- What did I say?

- He never finishes a sentence. You will remember that.

Your uncle's office, is that the accounting firm on Cornhill Street?

With that old, moldy one

the sign above the entrance Scrooge and...

Marley.

- What?

-Marley. Yes, exactly.

Who is Marney?

Marley.

1 Being

former partner.

Dead for seven years.

Serious?

It's grisly to keep that sign.

It's macabre.

Yes, that's the right word.

Macabre.

There's nothing macabre about that.

He was my companion, my friend.

And it turned out that it is so.

The name of a very well-known company.

1 I don't understand.

Why don't you replace it?

- Peace!

I know what I wanted to say.

So teach us.

I will invite him again every year so that he likes it.

Or maybe not, because they're family.

He can mock Christmas all he wants, as long as he likes

He won't die, he'll have a better opinion of them anyway.

when he sees me begging him every year

"Uncle Scrooge, how are you?"

And with that I show him that he is not alone in the world.

I think I almost achieved that today.

Yes, almost.

Hence the extra set plate.

I could easily have dinner with a ghost right now!

If you borrowed money from him, you would lure him out of hiding.

Debt doesn't wait.

Maybe you're right.

I adore you, but you are very kind.

That you still stand up for him.

Despite his denials, I don't understand it.

What sin do you think you have committed that you impose such a penance on yourself?

None, except...

That's promising!

I know,

that my dear mother would wish,

It's my only and last.

I built a real bond with her.

So, to Uncle Scrooge.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

wherever you are.

To Uncle Scrooge.

And for Marley.

May he rest in peace.

I think I learned a lesson here.

What are you doing here?

Do you feel sick?

My time on this earth is short.

I wish I could taste that molasses.

Cakes and much more.

Is the life of ghosts so short?

My shift ends tonight.

This evening?

In that case, please,

Forgive me for what I ask of you.

I would love to see the person I knew again.

Which meant a lot to me.

If possible.

Please.

- Help. - Have mercy, sir.

Fine.

There's still a little time left.

We'll see where your heart leads you.

Everyone get into the rhythm!

Stronger than this!

What do we do in a debtor's prison?

This is not a place I wanted to visit.

Are you sure?

They all have a debt they cannot repay.

Just like you.

You'll never catch me!

All those women, those children,

are real,

Or are they shadows?

They are real.

They live here.

No.

No, that's impossible.

You are completely mistaken.

Ebenezer, open your eyes!

Look around you!

You like to fantasize about prisons.

for those who don't even have winter,

but you've never set foot inside.

so you can see their true face.

I want to leave this place.

I'd like to see Belle.

And you will see her.

Here it is.

Spending Christmas Eve

by helping those who need it most.

Merry Christmas, brother.

Merry Christmas to all of us, dear people.

God bless us.

God bless us.

For everyone.

I see that in you.

The flame of humanity still burns.

Maybe it's not too late.

finally for your salvation.

That big bird

hanging in the window,

What do they call him?

Goose.

Goose.

I've never tasted it before.

May I offer you one?

That would be very nice.

but it would be in vain.

Our shared adventure is coming to an end.

What are those horrible sounds?

Emerging from your cloak?

Come closer.

Look at me.

Take a look at what you have chosen to ignore.

What?

Who is this?

Children of people.

But it keeps me stuck.

to complain about their fathers.

That boy's name is Ignorance.

That girl, Misery.

These are the sins of the people.

that I can't stand it anymore.

Have they no place of refuge?

Aren't there enough prisons already?

No almshouses?

Change,

Ebenezer

while it's still possible.

Ghost?

Ghost?

There are.

Staff.

Alms to the poor

A few minor changes!

Staff!

Don't leave us!

Open the door!

Whoever you are,

I know you're here.

I know you're here.

You are the Ghost of the Christmas of the future.

You scare me more than any ghost I've ever seen.

But I believe your purpose is to help me.

So I'm ready.

uw aanwezigheid te tolereren.

The night is coming to an end.

Time is very precious to me.

Guide me, Spirit.

That's our bread!

- Do you also buy? - Always.

Let's go to the lounge and close the door.

Don't just stand there,

as if you were afraid, Mrs. Dilber.

Entertain me.

Don't ask where it comes from.

I don't judge.

Een persoon heeft het recht om zichzelf op deze manier te beschouwen.

Times will be tough if he wants to survive.

Naturally!

He also did not impose any restrictions on himself.

Who misses those things?

Probably not a death, I guess.

What a stinker he was.

There was no one more disgusting than him.

A mean, stingy old man.

That is the sacred truth.

A fair judgement.

I would have preferred if the punishment had been even harsher.

He would have been.

if I could get it.

- Do you have any other items for sale? - Yes, and I think so.

His sheets?

I hope he didn't die of a contagious disease.

They deserve to be washed.

And what about his bed curtains?

Don't tell me you took them off,

with those rings and all,

while that man lay there?

En waarom ook niet? He didn't need them anyway.

If he had been normal during his life,

He would have someone with him before death came for him.

instead of just laying there in bed and coughing up his soul.

It's about me...

Who are these idiots even talking about?

5

Are you not speaking because the future has already been determined?

If that's the case,

Show me what will happen to me.

Grace!

What happened here?

Dirt everywhere!

I would never live that kind of life.

Should I believe that this is my fate?

Why do you show me these horrible things when I can't change them?

Answer me!

Mijnheer, hartelijk dank dat u ondanks de feestdagen op dit late uur nog bent gekomen.

We were intrigued.

your invitation at the last minute.

I remember being fired from this office years ago.

from the owner

His deceased companion.

When did he die?

This morning, I think.

Damn.

What was he suffering from?

Who knows.

I thought he would never die.

In my memories

He was the rudest man.

That's the right word.

Rough.

You!

What exactly are you looking for in my office?

It will be a cheap funeral.

I don't see anyone who could go there.

1 But

Let's leave it alone.

Let's focus on our business activities.

The law is clear: in

absence of a will

The person's assets go to the immediate family members.

But what if there was a will for Mr. Scrooge?

Something his nephew wouldn't know about.

Will,

who would leave his fortune

Somewhere else?

What if I came across this by chance?

Just in time?

Damn!

After all, Mr. Scrooge was a very generous man.

It's fake.

Apparently he wanted to leave everything to our charities.

What?

It is fortunate that you discovered the document in time.

Let's call it a Christmas miracle.

I assume that under these circumstances

Would a small commission be appropriate?

If we were indeed to stick to tradition,

Half would be appropriate.

Half?

That's outrageous.

Take it or leave it, gentlemen.

Let's not argue.

That's right, half.

What a wonderful surprise.

Indeed!

Let's celebrate.

Excellent idea.

I know a wonderful inn.

Where's Cratchit?

Is it out of place here?

Ghost?

I'd like to see Bob Cratchit.

M

Impossible.

If he needed a loan, he would have come to me.

Or maybe it's me.

Who brought him here?

Such a good person

And so honest.

Not his whole family.

To wait.

Where is the little boy?

with that weakness?

Tim.

Please.

God bless us.

For everyone.

That's not okay.

I'm sorry, Bob.

He sees me.

Forgive me, Bob.

This world is very miserable sometimes.

And I see that I've only made it worse.

My sincere apologies. I should have helped you.

I could have helped you.

But I didn't do it.

If only I had time,

Hear me, Spirit!

Listen to me when I say yes.

I deserve my chains.

I earned them.

But I assure you

if i get the chance,

I can still change the future you showed me.

I will carry Christmas in my heart.

I will try to leave them there all year round.

2

I will live in the past, present and future.

And I will be grateful for every breath, every second.

I won't run away.

Everything I learned tonight...

Please,

Grant me the grace to prove,

that I am no longer the man I was.

Peace!

Fred, this is Uncle Ebenezer!

Come back!

I'm sorry for everything.

It's too late.

If this is the end of it all,

and i'm really lost.

Laat me dus je gezicht zien,

so that I can finally see Death

in the eyes.

Thank you.

Of course it was always you.

Now I know who you really are.

Why can't you see me?

18, as I could be?

Yes, I used to be good.

And I know I can be him again.

Speak to me.

Grant me my salvation.

Please,

Talk to me.

Speak to me!

Jammer, hè?

He just had to change his behavior.

Staff.

Too late.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

No, I'm here!

I'm here!

I'm still alive!

I have changed.

I am no longer the man I was!

Staff!

Please

I want to live!

Please!

I can change!

I have changed.

I'm not the man I once was!

I'm not dead.

I'm not dead.

My curtains next to the bed.

They are not broken down.

BOTH

They're here.

I'm here.

My bed is here.

I'm still alive!

I'm still alive!

There is still time.

stays...

There is still time.

Young man, friend.

Can you hear me?

Beardbearers!

Have you gone crazy?

You almost brought me down.

You see me!

Naturally!

Naturally! Because I'm still alive.

Tell me, what day is it today?

Today?

It's Christmas.

So I didn't miss it.

Are you all right, sir?

Oh yes! I'm doing well again now.

I'm still alive!

I don't know what to do.

Where should I start?

My heart.

Good morning!

Merry christmas.

Merry christmas.

Oh, that dog!

Merry Christmas, little dog.

- Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas to you too, sir.

An hour, just for the two of us.

Do you know what he said? "Listen."

Do you know what he said?

Do you know what I said?

“In our field we have to be ruthless.”

“There is no place for kindness in friendship when there is profit at stake.”

How interesting!

Never mind.

Are you injured?

This way you can't just get away with it.

I will follow you.

And if you're not careful, ghosts will follow you too.

Merry christmas.

Who was that man? 2

Nobody. Absolutely no one.

I'm doing very well.

Belle, darling,

They just brought this to you.

What is this?

My book?

How strange.

From whom? - He didn't say that.

There was a message.

Read it to me.

You have always had the wisdom to choose the sun over the shadow.

Now I understand the meaning of your words.

Congratulations

For your novel and for the most successful life possible.

It's not signed.

Can you guess who it could be?

Good morning.

POL

Excuse me, ma'am.

Is my nephew here somewhere?

Yes, sir.

I hope I'm not disturbing.

Oh my God.

What a surprise!

I'm bringing a present.

I didn't really know.

what is given during this period,

And not in any other period for that matter.

But a friend of mine dreamed about it.

To eat a goose like that.

Unfortunately that was not possible.

So I thought

that she would be perfect for you

and your lovely wife.

My dear wife?

Dear, haven't you seen my...?

Didn't you see my...?

Hello, Mr. Scrooge.

Ebenezer, please.

A present from my uncle.

That's very generous.

We won't stop you.

You undoubtedly have work responsibilities.

Nothing is more important than this.

I came this morning because, you see,

I would like to

apologized.

Naturally!

Forgive me. I don't know where that sound came from.

Everything is fine, I earned it.

I'm... how should I put it?

A bitter and depraved miser.

It doesn't matter.

I just hope it's not too late.

Too late?

I mean, Fred...

It's "Merry Christmas".

Happy what?

Please?

Isn't this no longer nonsense?

Absolutely not.

I realize that I am there for you.

All these years he was no better than a foreigner.

And I know,

that my sister would be very disappointed with my behavior.

But I gotta say,

You remind me so much of her!

And it's always been hard for me.

to see you in it.

You have inherited her generous nature.

You even have her smile.

You know more about her than I do.

I know one thing for sure.

She would be very proud of you.

Fanny was the brightest light.

She was all there is

good and noble.

Not that she doesn't have an ounce of mischief.

I could tell you stories.

I'd like to hear them.

Just like me.

Uncle,

I don't dare ask, but...

What miracle brought you back to your senses?

Christmas.

Merry Christmas to all of us, dear people.

God bless us.

God bless us.

For everyone.

Hi Tim, how are you?

What do you see?

I'm sorry, sir.

I'm late.

It won't happen again.

Punctuality is very important.

But I'd like to broach a different subject this morning.

I was informed

that your youngest son...

that's his health...

somewhat vulnerable.

He has enormous willpower.

That's right.

But since we're on the subject,

I did some research.

There is a doctor.

Who will examine your son?

and has the best references.

With all due respect, Mr. Scrooge,

I'm not here to beg for charity.

That's exactly why

You take care of it.

sufficiently increased

salary.

- What? Come see.

I decided that this old, moldy board

It has reached the end of its life and needs to be replaced.

But the new one will say:

Miser

a Cratchit.

Please?

Do you know a more qualified candidate?

No. Me neither.

You're a good man, Bob Cratchit.

I'm not proud of the way I've run this company.

nor my attitude towards you all these years.

That's no excuse, but I promise you,

that things will change.

Companions.

Companions.

So I agree.

I'll take care of the kettle.

Dan

Move your stuff to your new office.

so that we can have a prosperous future

Yours

I am.

Excuse me, sir.

That's him.

The most disgusting man in London.

He won't take that with him to heaven.

It's freezing here.

Wouldn't you rather drink tea?

If you don't mind.

Yes,

not at all.

Come on.
