Tipton:
Ah, Ebenezer! We were afraid you weren't coming. Forbush:
It's almost closing, sir. Ebenezer Scrooge:
Well, I'm here, aren't I? Pemberton:
I said you'd be here. Didn't I say Ebenezer Scrooge would be here? I knew you'd change your mind. Ebenezer Scrooge:
You're right, I have changed my mind. Tipton:
Oh, good. Then you'll take our bid? Ebenezer Scrooge:
The price has gone up. Forbush:
[stunned]
Gone up? But that's not possible! Ebenezer Scrooge:
You want my corn, gentlemen, you must meet my quote. Plus five-percent for the delay. Pemberton:
That's outrageous, Scrooge! You'll be left with a warehouse stuffed with corn! Ebenezer Scrooge:
Well, that's my affair, isn't it? Tipton:
We pay your price, then our bread will be dearer; the poor will suffer! Ebenezer Scrooge:
Buy the corn someplace else. Good day, sir. Forbush:
Scrooge, a moment! We'll take your corn for the price you quoted yesterday. Ebenezer Scrooge:
Too late. If you wait until tomorrow, it'll cost you another five-percent. Tipton:
Damn it, Scrooge! It's not fair! Ebenezer Scrooge:
No. But it's business. I'll give you a moment to make up your minds. [walks a few feet away to allow the men to deliberate in privacy for a few seconds until they turn to look at him] Tipton:
All right, Scrooge. Done and done. Ebenezer Scrooge:
Very good, gentlemen. Now, make sure that the drop of the entire amount of this transaction is deposited with my clerk. I don't ship until I have the cash... [makes a fist] Ebenezer Scrooge:
... in hand. Good day
