:24:01
- You travel fast?
- On the wings of the wind.
:24:04
You must have covered a great quantity
of ground in seven years.
:24:10
Captive, bound, and double-ironed.
:24:13
No space of regret can make amends
for the wasted opportunities of one life.
:24:19
Poor and ignorant Scrooge.
:24:23
Yet, such was I.
:24:25
But you were always
a good man of business, Jacob.
:24:27
Business. Mankind was my business.
:24:31
The common welfare was my business.
:24:33
Charity, mercy, forbearance,
and benevolence...
:24:36
all these were my business.
:24:42
It is at this time of the year
that I suffer most.
:24:45
To see the want I could have stopped,
the suffering I could have solaced.
:24:50
The hunger I could have satisfied.
:24:53
Hear me.
:24:55
My time is nearly gone.
:24:57
If you must go, Jacob,
don't let me keep you.
:25:00
I have sat invisible beside you
many and many a day.
:25:07
I am here to warn you that you have
one chance of escaping my fate.
:25:12
- One chance, Ebenezer Scrooge.
- What is it?
:25:16
You will be haunted by three spirits.
:25:19
Is that the chance you mentioned, Jacob?
:25:22
It is.
:25:23
I think I'd rather not.
:25:26
Unless you suffer these three visitations,
your fate will be the same as mine.
:25:32
Jacob. Don't leave me yet. Jacob!
:25:35
Expect the first when the bell tolls 1:00...
:25:38
the second on the stroke of 2:00...
:25:41
the third on the last vibration of 3:00.
:25:45
Couldn't I take all three at once
and have it over?
:25:54
Remember, the first at 1:00...
:25:57
the second at 2:00, the third at 3:00.
