 SCRIPT QUOTES 

 

Enjoy some lines from the play that we've had the most fun with!

 

 

Scrooge: ...This is a game in which I lose my senses! Perhaps, if I allowed myself another short doze...

 

Fred: Uncle, you are the most... No, I shan't. My Christmas humor is intact. God bless you, uncle.

 

Marley: In life, I was your business partner: Jacob Marley.

Scrooge: I see. Can you sit down?

Marley: I can.

Scrooge: Do it then.

Marley: I shall...you don't believe in me!

Scrooge: I don't.

 

Scrooge: (To his younger self) You fool! Mindless loon! You fool!

35-year-old Scrooge: (To Woman) Fool. Mindless loon. Fool...

 

Man 1: Merry Christmas then, friend!

Man 2: And a Merry Christmas straight back to you!

(The Men exit)

Scrooge: ...what was that?

 

(Fred and Niece "Bah, humbug"-ing to mock Scrooge)

 

Present: Listen here, Scrooge, hear me. Beware of ignorance and want. And with ignorance-- brings doom.

 

Scrooge: I will live in the Past, in the Present, and in the Future! The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me!

 

Scrooge: Do you know whether the poulterers have sold the big prize turkey that was hanging up there? I don't mean the little prize turkey, Adam. I mean the big one!

Adam: What, you mean the one they've got that's as big as me?

Scrooge: I mean, the turkey the size of Adam: that's the bird!

 

Scrooge: ...we need warmth and cheer, Bob Cratchit! Do you hear me? DO...YOU...HEAR...ME?

Cratchit: (Stands, smiles, and faints)

 

Scrooge: Do you magically give kindness to any particular people, or to all people?

 

Second Businessman: Why, what was the matter with him? I thought he'd never die, really...

 

Scrooge: GOOD AFTERNOON!

 

Scrooge: Bah, humbug!  (Of course we had to put this one! Obviously)
