Dialogue
[edit]- Fred: Merry Christmas, Uncle Scrooge!
- Scrooge: What's so merry about it? I'll tell you what Christmas is. It's just another workday, and any jackanape who thinks else should be... boiled in his own pudding!
- Fred: [recoiling sorrowfully] Ohhh.
- Cratchit: But sir, Christmas is a time for giving... a time to be with one's family.
- Scrooge: I say bah humbug!
- Fred: I don't care. I'd say merry Christmas. Merry Christmas!
- Cratchit: [clapping] Well said, Master Fred!
- Scrooge: Cratchit, what're you doing?
- Cratchit: [stops clapping and chuckles nervously] I was just trying to keep my hands warm, sir.
- Marley: Ebenezer, remember when I was alive I robbed from widows and swindled the poor?
- Scrooge: Yes, and all in the same day. Oh, you had class, Jacob.
- Marley: Ha-ha-yuk, yup! Er, no, no! I was wrong. And so, as punishment, I'm forced to carry these heavy chains through eternity! Maybe even longer.
- Scrooge: But where did all this come from?
- Ghost of Christmas Present: From the heart, Scrooge. It's the food of generosity, which you have long denied your fellow man.
- Scrooge: Generosity? Ha! Nobody has ever shown me generosity!
- Ghost of Christmas Present: You've never given them reason to. And yet... there are some who still find enough warmth in their hearts even for the likes of you.
- Scrooge: Hmph! No acquaintance of mine, I assure you.
