[Scrooge is covertly watching Harry's Christmas party]
Tom - Friend of Harry's: Harry, I've visited you every Christmas for the past five years, and to this day I can never understand this extraordinary ritual of toasting the health of your old uncle Ebenezer. I mean, everybody knows he's the most miserable old skinflint that ever walked God's earth.
Ebenezer Scrooge: [glaring] Who's he?
Ghost of Christmas Present: Oh... just a friend.
Harry, Scrooge's Nephew: My dear Tom, it's very simple. He is indeed the most despicable old miser, worse than you could ever possibly imagine.
[Ghost of Christmas Present bursts out laughing]
Ebenezer Scrooge: You find this amusing?
Ghost of Christmas Present: Believe it or not, he likes you.
Harry, Scrooge's Nephew: See, I look at it this way: If I can wish a Merry Christmas to him, who is beyond dispute the most obnoxious and parsimonious of all living creatures, then I know in my heart that I am truly a man of goodwill.
Ebenezer Scrooge: [rising to lunge at Harry] Scoundrel!
Ghost of Christmas Present: Wait! There's more to come.
Harry, Scrooge's Nephew: And besides... I like old Scrooge!
Ghost of Christmas Present: What did I tell you?
Harry, Scrooge's Nephew: Truly I do! I can't help feeling that hidden somewhere deep inside that loathsome old carcass of his, there's a different man fighting to get out.
Tom - Friend of Harry's: Careful, Harry, he may be even worse than the one you know.
Harry, Scrooge's Nephew: Oh! God forbid, Tom. Anyway, that's the reason I ask him to come here every Christmas, in the forlorn hope that one day he might pick up enough goodwill to raise his clerk's wages by five shillings a week. God knows it's high time he did!
