16. 3:24[Music]
17. 3:33What do you want with me?
18. 3:37[Music]
19. 3:41Much?
20. 3:43Who are you? Ask me who I was.
21. 3:48You're particular for a ghost. Who are
22. 3:51you then? In life, I was your partner,
23. 3:55Jacob Marley.
24. 3:58Can you sit down? I can. We'll do it
25. 4:18then. You don't believe in me.
26. 4:22I don't.
27. 4:24What evidence would you have of my
28. 4:26reality beyond that of your own senses?
29. 4:30I don't know. Why do you doubt your
30. 4:34senses? Because a little thing affects
31. 4:36them. A slight disorder of the
32. 4:39stomach. You might be a bit of bad beef,
33. 4:42a blat of mustard, a fragment of an
34. 4:45underdone
35. 4:46potato. There's more of gravy than of
36. 4:49grave about you. Whatever you are,
37. 4:50humbug, I tell you.
38. 4:55[Music]
39. 4:58Humb dreadful apparition. Why do you
40. 5:01trouble me? Man of the worldly mind. Do
41. 5:04you believe in me or not? I do. I must.
42. 5:08But why do spirits walk the earth? Why
43. 5:11do you come to me? It is required of
44. 5:13every man that the spirit within him
45. 5:16should walk abroad among his fellow men
46. 5:20and travel far and wide. And if that
47. 5:23spirit goes not forth in life, it is
48. 5:26condemned to do so after death. It is
49. 5:29doomed to wander through the world and
50. 5:32witness what it cannot
51. 5:34share. what might have
52. 5:37[Music]
53. 5:38feared and turned to
54. 5:45happiness. The chain tell me why I wear
55. 5:49the chain I forged in life. I made it
56. 5:53link by link and yard by
57. 5:58yard. Is it pattern strange to you? Or
58. 6:01would you know the weight and length of
59. 6:03the strong coil you bear yourself? It
60. 6:07was as full, as heavy, and as long as
61. 6:11this seven Christmas Eve ago, you have
62. 6:13labeled on it since. It is a ponderous
63. 6:18chain. I see no chain. Mine were
64. 6:22invisible until the day of my death. as
65. 6:26yours shall be.
66. 6:31Jacob, tell me more. Speak comfort to
67. 6:35me. I have none to
68. 6:38give.
69. 6:40My
70. 6:41spirit never walked beyond our counting
71. 6:45house. In life, my spirit never roved
72. 6:49beyond the narrow limits of our money
73. 6:52changing hole. No doubt of that. You
74. 6:56always were a good man of business.
75. 6:58Business. Mankind was my business. The
76. 7:03common welfare was my business. Charity,
77. 7:07mercy, forbearance, and benevolence for
78. 7:10all my business. The dealings of my
79. 7:13trade were brought a drop of water in
80. 7:15the comprehensive ocean of my
81. 7:18bitterness. I'm sorry for you, Dick. Is
82. 7:22there anything I can do for you? for me.
83. 7:26Nay, it is too late. But I have
84. 7:32come for your sake,
85. 7:35Eene. Have you? Well, you always were a
86. 7:38good
87. 7:40friend. As part of my penance, I have
88. 7:44been sent to warn you. And so you have.
89. 7:48And to offer you a hope and chance of
90. 7:52escaping my fate, you will be haunted by
91. 7:56three spirits. Three
92. 7:59spirits? Is that the chance and hope you
93. 8:01mention? It
94. 8:03is. Well, in that case, I I think I'd
95. 8:06rather not. Expect the first tonight
96. 8:10when the bell toes won.
97. 8:13Couldn't they all come at the same time,
98. 8:15Jacob, and have it over?
99. 8:17Expect the second on the stroke of two,
100. 8:22the third, more mcurial shall appear in
101. 8:26his own good
102. 8:33time. Look to me no
103. 8:36more. Look that you may remember what
104. 8:40has passed between
105. 8:43us. Wow.

109. 9:02[Applause]
