My name is Charles Dickens.
Rizzo the Rat:
And my name is Rizzo the Rat... wait a second! You're not Charles Dickens!
Gonzo:
I am too!
Rizzo the Rat:
No! A blue furry Charles Dickens who hangs out with a rat?
Gonzo:
Absolutely!
Rizzo the Rat:
Charles Dickens was a 19th Century novelist! A genius!
Gonzo:
Oh, you are too kind!
Rizzo the Rat:
Why should I believe you?
Gonzo:
Well, because I know the story of A Christmas Carol like the back of my hand!
Rizzo the Rat:
Prove it!
Gonzo:
All right! Um, there's a little mole on my thumb, and um, a scar on my wrist from when I fell off my bike...
Rizzo the Rat:
No, no, no, don't tell us your *hand*, tell us the *story*!

I am here to tell the story.
And I am here for the food.
My name is Charles Dickens.
And my name is Rizzo the Rat.
Wait a second,
you're not Charles Dickens.
I am, too.
A blue furry Charles Dickens
who hangs outwith a rat?
Absolutely.
Charles Dickens
was a 19th century novelist.
A genius.
You are too kind.
Why should I believe you?
Because I know the story of A Christmas
Carol like the back of my hand.
- Prove it.
- All right.
There's a little mole on my thumb.
And a scar on my wrist
from when I fell off my bicycle...
No, don't tell us your hand,
tell us the story.
Oh, thank you. Yes.
The Marleys were dead,
to begin with.
The... Pardon me?
That's how the story begins,
"The Marleys were dead,
to begin with."
As dead as a doornail.
It's a good beginning.
It's creepy and kind of... spooky.
- Thank you, Rizzo.
- You're welcome, Mr. Dickens.
In life, the Marleys had been
business partners
with a shrewd moneylender
named Ebenezer Scrooge.
You will meet him
as he comes around that corner.
- Where?
- There.
- When?
- Now.
[Dickens] There he is,
Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge.
Say, is it getting cold around here?
