You'll be wanting the whole day off tomorrow, I suppose. If it's convenient, sir. No, sir....

Ebenezer Scrooge: You'll be wanting the whole day off tomorrow, I suppose. Bob Cratchit: If it's convenient, sir. Ebenezer Scrooge: No, sir. It is not convenient. And it is not fair. Yet if I stopped your wages for it, you'd think yourself ill-used, no doubt. And yet you don't think me ill-used when I pay a day's wages for no work. Bob Cratchit: Well... it is Christmas Day, Mr. Scrooge. And it is only once a year, sir. Ebenezer Scrooge: A poor excuse for picking a man's pocket every 25th of December. I don't pay good money for you to be forever on holiday. Bob Cratchit: I appreciate your kindness, Mr. Scrooge. Ebenezer Scrooge: Yes, that's my weakness. I'm a martyr to my own generosity. I give you one Christmas Day off and you expect them all. Very well, take the day. Bob Cratchit: Thank you, sir! Ebenezer Scrooge: But be here all the earlier the next morning. Bob Cratchit: Yes, sir! I will, sir! Thank you very much! Oh, and, uh... Merry Christmas, Mr. Scrooge. Ebenezer Scrooge: [narrows his eyes] Be gone from here and take your infernal "Merry Christmas" with you. Bob Cratchit: I beg your pardon, sir. No offense, sir.
