Marley: Scrooge, 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-yuk. Yup. Er, no, no! I was wrong. And as punishment, I'm forced to carry these heavy chains for eternity. Maybe even longer.
Ghost of Christmas Past: Listen, Scrooge, if men were measured by kindness, you'd be no bigger than a speck of dust.
Scrooge: Ho-hum. Kindness is of little use in this world.
Ghost of Christmas Past: You didn't always think so. Come on, Scrooge, it's time to go.
Scrooge: Then go!
Ebenezer Scrooge: Spirit, whose lonely grave is this?
Ghost of Christmas Future: Why, yours, Ebenezer! The richest man in the cementery! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Cratchit: Tomorrow is Christmas and I was wondering if I could have... Half a day off?
Scrooge: Christmas, eh? Uh, er... I suppose so. But I'll dock you half a day's pay. Let's see, I pay you two shillings a day...
Cratchit: Two shillings and a halfpenny, Sir.
Scrooge: Oh yes, I gave you that raise three years ago.
Cratchit: Yes, sir, when I started doing your laundry.
Fred: I've come to give you a wreath and invite you to Christmas dinner.
Scrooge: Well, I suppose you're going to have plump goose with chesnut dressing?
Fred: Yup.
Scrooge: And will you have plum pudding and lemon sauce?
Fred: Yeah, boy oh boy.
Scrooge: And candied fruit with spiced sugar cakes?
Fred: Uh-huh. Will you come?
Scrooge: Are you daft, Man? You know I can't eat that stuff! Take your wreath and out, out, OUT!
Scrooge: What's this world coming to, Cratchit? You work all your life to get money and people want you to give it away.
Scrooge: Bah humbug!
Scrooge: Hmm... Two minutes fast.
Scrooge: Well, never mind those two minutes. You may go now.
Cratchit: Oh thank you, sir! You're so kind!
Scrooge: Never mind the mushy stuff, just go!... But be here all the other early the next day!
Cratchit: I will, I will, sir! And a Bah Humbug... I mean, a Merry Christmas to you, sir!
Marley: Tonight, you will be visited by three spirits
Marley: . Listen to'em. Do what they say, or your chains will be heavier than mine. Farewell, Ebenezer.
Scrooge: Marley, watch out for that first...
Scrooge: Step.
Ghost of Christmas Present: Don't forget the chocolate pot roast with smishmashio... With smiminish... With yogurt.
Tiny Tim: And God bless us, everyone.
Scrooge: My partner, Jacob Marley, dead seven years today. Oh, he was a good'n. He robbed from the widows and swindled the poor. In his will, he left me enough money to pay for his tombstone, and I have him burried at sea!
Cratchit: Oh, that Fred. Always so full of kindness.
Scrooge: Aye. He always was a little peculiar
Scrooge: ... AND stubborn!
Ghost of Christmas Past: What's wrong, Scrooge? I thought you enjoyed looking down on the world.
Belle: Ebeneezer?
Scrooge: Yes, Isabelle?
Belle: My eyes are closed, my lips are puckered, and I'm standing under the mistletoe.
Scrooge: You're also standing on my foot.
Scrooge: Please, spirit, I can no longer bear these memories. Take me home.
Ghost of Christmas Past: Remember, Scrooge, you fashioned these memories yourself.
Scrooge: Please, let me go! Don't eat me!
Ghost of Christmas Present: Why would the Ghost of Christmas Present... that's me... want to eat a distasteful little miser like you?... Especially when there are so many good things to enjoy in life?
Scrooge: 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? Nobody has ever shown me generosity!
Ghost of Christmas Present: You've never given them a reason to, and yet there are some who still find enough warmth in their hearts even for the likes of you.
Scrooge: No acquaintence of mine, I assure you.
Ghost of Christmas Present: Duh, you'll see.
Tiny Tim: Oh my! Look at all the wonderful things to eat! We must thank Mister Scrooge.
Scrooge: Tell me, spirit, what's wrong with that tiny lad?
Ghost of Christmas Present: Much, I'm afraid. If these shadows remain unchanged, I see an empty chair where Tiny Tim once sat.
Scrooge: Then that means Tim will...
Scrooge: Spirit, I didn't want this to happen. Tell me these events can yet be changed.
Scrooge: I'll change! I'LL CHANGE!
Scrooge: IT'S CHRISTMAS MORNING! I haven't missed it! The spirits have given me another chance!
Cratchit: Why Mr. Scrooge, Merry Christmas.
Cratchit: Won't you come in?
Scrooge: Merry Christmas? Humph! I have another bundle for you.
Cratchit: But sir, it's Christmas Day.
Scrooge: Christmas Day, indeed! Just another excuse for being lazy. And another thing, Cratchit! I've had enough of this half-day-off stuff! You leave me no alternative...
Scrooge: ... but to give you...
Tiny Tim: Toys!
Scrooge: Yes, toys. No no no no no no no! I'm giving you a raise... and making you my partner.
Scrooge: What's she cooking, a canary? Surely they have more food than that. Look in the fireplace.
Ghost of Christmas Present: Huh, where? Oh, that's your laundry.
Scrooge: And that shy lad in the corner, that's me.
Ghost of Christmas Past: Yes, that was before you became a miserable miser, consumed by greed.
Scrooge: Well, nobody's perfect.
