Quotes 

• Marley : Ebenezer, remember when I was alive I robbed from widows and swindled the poor?

  Scrooge : Yes, and all in the same day. Oh, you had class, Jacob.

  Marley : Ha-ha-yuk, yup! Er, no, no! I was wrong. And so, as punishment, I'm forced to carry these heavy chains through eternity! Maybe even longer.

• 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] 

• Marley : Tonight, you will be visited by three spirits.

  [holds up two fingers] 

  Marley : Listen to 'em. Do what they say, or your chains will be heavier than mine.

  [singing] 

  Marley : Farewell, Ebenezer.

  [almost slips on Scrooge's fallen cane, but avoids so by stepping over it and slips away through the door] 

  Marley : Farewell...

  Scrooge : Marley! Watch out for that first...!

  [Marley goes crashing down the stairs] 

  Scrooge : ...step.

• 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!
