Quotes 

• 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.

  Ghost of Christmas Present : Duh, don't forget the chocolate pot roast with dismenshio... No, it's pismechio... No, it's disminglishmaguh... Duh, with yogurt.

• 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.
