:04:02
- A genius!
- Oh. You're too kind.
:04:06
Why should I believe you?
:04:07
Well. Because I know the story
of"A Christmas Carol"
like the back of my hand.
:04:11
- Prove it!
- All right.
:04:13
Um. There's a little mole on my thumb
and. Uh. A scar on my wrist...
:04:18
- From when I fell off my bicycle.
- No. No. No. No.
:04:19
Don't tell us your hand.
Tell us the story.
:04:22
Oh. Oh. Thank you. Yes.
:04:24
The Marleys were dead to begin with.
:04:27
- Wha- Wha... Pardon me?
- That's how the story begins. Rizzo.
:04:30
The Marleys were dead to begin with.
as dead as a doornail.
:04:35
It's a good beginning.
It's creepy and kind of spooky.
:04:38
- Oh. Thank you. Rizzo.
- You're welcome. Mr Dickens.
:04:41
In life. The Marleys
had been business partners...
:04:43
with a shrewd moneylender
named Ebenezer Scrooge.
:04:48
You will meet him
as he comes around that corner.
:04:51
- Where?
- There.
:04:52
- When?
- Now.
:04:56
There he is.
Mr Ebenezer Scrooge.
:05:03
Say. Is it gettin' colder out here?
:05:12
When a cold wind blows
it chills you
:05:14
Chills you to the bone
:05:16
But there's nothing in nature that freezes
your heart like years of being alone
:05:21
It paints you with indifference
:05:23
Like a lady paints with rouge
:05:26
- And the worst of the worst
- The most hated and cursed
:05:28
Is the one that we call Scrooge
:05:30
- Unkind as any
- And the wrath of many
:05:33
This is Ebenezer Scrooge
:05:35
Oh, there goes Mr Humbug
:05:38
There goes Mr Grimm
:05:40
If they gave a prize
for bein'mean
:05:42
The winner would be him
:05:44
Old Scrooge, he loves his money
'cause he thinks it gives him power
:05:49
If he became a flavour
you can bet he would be sour
:05:55
Even the vegetables
don't like him.
:05:59
There goes Mr Skinflint
There goes Mr Greed
