A Christmas Carol1984
Mrs. Dilber:
[having cleaned out Scrooge's townhouse, she's now selling his things on the rough side of town]... Watch, bed-curtains, blankets... So what's your offer for all these?
Old Joe:
One pound-sterling, five crowns and three schillings. Not a hay-penny more if I was to be boiled for it.
Mrs. Dilber:
You're hardened, Joe, and no mistake!
Old Joe:
I'm ALWAYS kind to the ladies! That's the way I ruined myself! [both laugh]
Ebenezer Scrooge:
[to Christmas Future] Spirit, what perversity is this? I've asked to see some emotion connected with that man's death... and you've shown me only greed, and malice, and apathy! Let me see some TENDERNESS, some... DEPTH OF FEELING! [finds himself back at the Cratchit House] There must be some mistake; your fellow Spirit already brought me here, earlier. [Christmas Future motions for him to go on in] Very well... You're devilishly hard to have conversation with.
