“Ebenezer Scrooge: And be good enough to leave me alone during business hours.

Nephew Fred: Seven o'clock on Christmas Eve? That's not business hours, that's drudgery for the sake of it, and an insult to all men of goodwill.

Bob Cratchit: Here, here!

Nephew Fred: [surprised] Thank you, Bob Cratchit.

Ebenezer Scrooge: [slowly turns to Cratchit] Another word from you, Cratchit, and you will celebrate Christmas by losing your position.

Bob Cratchit: Yes, Sir. Sorry, Mr. Scrooge.

Ebenezer Scrooge: [turning back to Fred] You're quite a powerful speaker, Sir. I wonder you don't go into politics. You're fool enough.”

“1st Portly Gentleman: Mr. Scrooge, sir, we find it more than usually desirable than we make some slight provision for the poor and destitute.

Ebenezer Scrooge: Excellent! Then I suggest you do so!

2nd Portly Gentleman: What may we put down for you, sir?

Ebenezer Scrooge: Nothing, sir.

1st Portly Gentleman: Ah, you wish to remain anonymous.

Ebenezer Scrooge: I wish to be left alone, sir! That is what I wish! I don't make myself merry at Christmas and I cannot afford to make idle people merry. I have been forced to support the establishments I have mentioned through taxation and God knows they cost more than they're worth. Those who are badly off must go there.

2nd Portly Gentleman: Many would rather die than go there.

Ebenezer Scrooge: If they'd rather die, then they had better do it and decrease the surplus population, Good night, gentlemen. [walks away, then turns back] Humbug!”

“Ebenezer Scrooge: [to Bob] You still don't recognize me, do you Cratchit?

Bob Cratchit: Yes. No. You're Father Christmas?

Ebenezer Scrooge: [chuckles] No. [pulls down his mask briefly]

Mrs. Cratchit: [screams] It's Mr. Scrooge! He's gone mad!

Bob Cratchit: It's all right, dear. There's nothing to be frightened of.

Ebenezer Scrooge: No, I haven't gone mad. And on Monday, when your salary is doubled.

Bob Cratchit: Doubled? [to his wife] He has gone mad!

Ebenezer Scrooge: We'll set together and discuss how I can help your family to start with. We'll find the right doctors to get Tiny Tim well. And we will get him well you don't.

Bob Cratchit: Yes! I believe you, I believe anything!”

“Ebenezer Scrooge: Who are you?

Ghost of Christmas Past: I am the spirit whose coming was foretold to you.

Ebenezer Scrooge: You don't look like a ghost.

Ghost of Christmas Past: Thank you.

Ebenezer Scrooge: May I inquire more precisely who or what you are?

Ghost of Christmas Past: I am the Ghost of Christmas Past.

Ebenezer Scrooge: Long past?

Ghost of Christmas Past: No. Your past.

Ebenezer Scrooge: And what business brings you here?

Ghost of Christmas Past: Your welfare.

Ebenezer Scrooge: [scoffs] To be wakened by a ghost at one o'clock in the morning is hardly conducive to my welfare!

Ghost of Christmas Past: Your redemption, then.”
