Dialogue

Fred: Merry Christmas, Uncle Scrooge!
Scrooge: What's so merry about it? I'll tell you what Christmas is. It's just another workday, and any jackanape who thinks else should be... boiled in his own pudding!
Fred: [recoiling sorrowfully] Ohhh.
Cratchit: But sir, Christmas is a time for giving... a time to be with one's family.
Scrooge: I say bah humbug!
Fred: I don't care. I'd say merry Christmas. Merry Christmas!
Cratchit: [clapping] Well said, Master Fred!
Scrooge: Cratchit, what're you doing?
Cratchit: [stops clapping and chuckles nervously] I was just trying to keep my hands warm, sir.
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: 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. 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.
Scrooge: Who's lonely grave is this?
[the spirit lights a match up and moves it to the writing on the stone as Ebenezer looks at the writing to see his true name written on it, and gasps, but the robe's hood lifts up to reveal Pete with his cigar in his mouth]
Ghost of Chrstmas Yet To Come (Pete): Why, YOURS, Ebenezer. THE RICHEST MAN IN THE CEMETARY! HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
[Pete lights his cigar and laughs and slaps Scrooge, causing him to shriek and into the grave and grab onto a root]
