Merry Christmas, Uncle Scrooge! What's so merry about it? I'll tell you what Christmas is....

Fred: Merry Christmas, Uncle Scrooge! Scrooge: What's so merry about it? I'll tell you what Christmas is. It's just another work day, and any jackanape who thinks else should be boiled in his own pudding! 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 say, Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas! Cratchit: [clapping] Well said, Master Fred! Scrooge: Cratchit, what are you doing? Cratchit: [stops clapping] I was just trying to keep my hands warm, sir.

Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to one and all. Give a penny for the poor, governor. Penny for the poor. Bah. My partner, Jacob Marley, dead seven years today. Ah, he was a good one. He robbed from the widows and swindled the poor. [CHUCKLING] In his will, he left me enough money to pay for his tombstone. Ha. And I had him buried at sea. Oh, ah, uh. Good morning, Mr. Scrooge. Cratchit, what are you doing with that piece of coal? I was just trying to thaw out the ink. Bah. You used a piece last week. Now, get on with your work, Cratchit. Speaking of work, Mr. Scrooge, tomorrow is Christmas, and I was wondering if I could have half a day off.
