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!
