Milburn Drysdale
- Jane Hathaway: Now, Chief, in all fairness to the employees, you do not display much holiday spirit.
- Milburn Drysdale: What do they want from me? I gave them half a day off on Christmas!
- Milburn Drysdale: [dictating a letter to Miss Jane] ... and furthermore, if you are late on your mortgage payment one more time you will be thrown out into the street...
- Jane Hathaway: Chief, she's eighty-five years old and in a wheelchair!
- Milburn Drysdale: Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know... change that to read, you will be wheeled out into the street.
- Milburn Drysdale: Miss Hathaway, are you responsible for the employees of this bank referring to me as Ebeneezer Scrooge?
- Jane Hathaway: No, why do you ask?
- Milburn Drysdale: When I came through the lobby just now they all chanted in unison 'Here come da Scrooge! Here come da Scrooge!
- Jane Hathaway: Most places do something for their employees at this time of year.
- Milburn Drysdale: Well, I've given them Christmas Day off.
- Jane Hathaway: Chief, most banks even give a holiday bonus.
- Milburn Drysdale: I've already thought of that.
- Jane Hathaway: You have?
- Milburn Drysdale: Just this morning I said to myself, 'Milburn, you've got to give those loyal employees of yours a Christmas bonus.'
- Jane Hathaway: But, Chief, that's extraordinary!
- Milburn Drysdale: I thought so, too. Fortunately, a cold shower brought me to my senses.
- Jane Hathaway: When the other little kids played hide and seek, Little Milby started his first business.
- Milburn Drysdale: Every kid had a lemonade stand.
- Jane Hathaway: He opened a pawn shop!
- Jane Hathaway: If you would only display a little generosity: a Christmas bonus, a few gifts!
- Milburn Drysdale: I refuse to commercialize Christmas just to kowtow to my pampered employees.
