Scrooge : And what can I do for you two gentlemen?
Collector for the Poor #1 : Sir, we are collecting funds for the indigent and destitute.
Scrooge : For the what?
Collector for the Poor #2 : [tipping his hat] We're collecting for the poor.
Scrooge : Oh. Aha. Well um, you realize if you give money to the poor, they won't be poor anymore, will they?
Collector for the Poor #2 : Well, I...
Scrooge : And if they're not *poor* anymore, then you won't have to raise money for them anymore.
Collector for the Poor #1 : Well, I suppose...
Scrooge : And if you don't have to raise money for them anymore, then you'd be out of a job. Oh please, gentlemen, don't ask me to put you out of a job. Not on Christmas Eve.
Collector for the Poor #1 : Oh, we wouldn't do that, Mr. Scrooge.
Scrooge : [giving them a wreath] Well then, I suggest you give this to the poor and be gone.
[Slams door on them]

Scrooge : Spirit, whose lonely grave is this?
[Ghost flicks a lighter revealing Scrooge's name on the tombstone, gasps, Ghost removes his hood and lights a cigar]
Ghost of Christmas Future (Pete) : Why yours, Ebenezer. The richest man in the cemetery!
[laughs as he throws Scrooge in the grave]

Scrooge : Please, let me go! Don't eat me!
Ghost of Christmas Present : Why would the Ghost of Christmas Present - that's me - want to eat a distasteful little miser like you?... Especially when there are so many good things to enjoy in life? See?
-
Scrooge : Tell me, spirit, what's wrong with that kind lad?
Ghost of Christmas Present : Much, I'm afraid. If these shadows remain unchanged, I see an empty chair where Tiny Tim once sat.
Scrooge : Then that means Tim will...

Scrooge : Merry Christmas to one and all!
[Slides down banister]
Scrooge : Ah, bless me. Good morning, gentlemen. I've something for ya.
[Puts a bag of coins on the second collector's head]
Collector for the Poor #1 : Twenty gold sovereigns! Oh, no!
Scrooge : Not enough? Here.
[Puts another bag on the collector's pants]
Scrooge : Fifty gold sovereigns!
Collector for the Poor #2 : Really, Mister Scrooge. It's...
Scrooge : Still not enough! You drive a hard bargain. Here you are.
[Throws several bags at the collectors]
Scrooge : One hundred gold pieces, and not a penny more!
Collector for the Poor #1 : Oh, thank you, Mr. Scrooge! Thank you! And a *merry* Christmas to you!

Scrooge : Ooh... Minced pies... Turkies... Suckling pig.

Scrooge : But where did all this come from?
Ghost of Christmas Present : From the heart, Scrooge. It's the food of generosity, which you have long denied your fellow man.
Scrooge : Generosity? Ha! Nobody has ever shown *me* generosity!
Ghost of Christmas Present : You've never given them reason to.
[plucks off a grape then gulps it]
Ghost of Christmas Present : And yet... there are some who still find enough warmth in their hearts even for the likes of you.
Scrooge : Hmph! No acquaintance of mine, I assure you.
Ghost of Christmas Present : Duh, you'll see.

Scrooge : What's she cooking, a canary? Surely they have more food than that. Look on the fire.
Ghost of Christmas Present : Huh, where? Oh, that's your laundry.
