Bob Cratchit Quotes in Christmas Carol: The Movie (2001)

Bob Cratchit: [spotting two mice on Scrooge's shoulder] Mr. Scrooge, sir, there's two mice.

Ebenezer Scrooge: Never mind the mice, they were here on time.

Bob Cratchit: I'll make it up to you, Sir!

Ebenezer Scrooge: No, Mr Cratchit! I'll make it up to you!

Bob Cratchit: Mr. Scrooge?

Ebenezer: I'm busy.

Bob Cratchit: Well, it's about Mr. Marley, sir! He's dying!

Ebenezer: Well, what do you want me to do about it? If he's dying, he's dying.

Ebenezer: You'll want the whole day off tomorrow, I suppose.

Bob Cratchit: If quite convenient, sir.

Ebenezer: It's not convenient. And it's not fair! If I stopped you half a crown for it, you'd think yourself ill used, wouldn't you? But you don't think me ill used if I pay a day's wages for now work, hmm?

Bob Cratchit: 'Tis only once a year, sir.

Ebenezer: That's a poor excuse for picking a man's pocket every 25th of December.

Bob Cratchit: Yes, sir. I'm sure I'm very sorry, sir, to cause you such an inconvenience. It's the family more than me, sir. They put their hearts into Christmas as it were, sir.

Ebenezer: Yes, and put their hands into my pockets as it were, sir. I suppose you'd better have the whole day. But be back all the earlier the next morning.

Bob Cratchit: I will indeed, sir. Thank you, sir! It's more than generous of you, sir.

Ebenezer: Yes, I know it is, you don't have to tell me.

[In front of a toy store window]

Bob Cratchit: Well, my loves, which one do you like best, eh?

Kathy Cratchit: I like the dolly in the corner.

Tiny Tim: I like all of them.

Bob Cratchit: Good boy? And why not one in particular?

Tiny Tim: Well... you said I can't have none of them, so I might as well like them all.

Ebenezer Scrooge: [to Bob] You still don't recognise me, do you Cratchit?

Bob Cratchit: Yes. No. Er... Father Christmas?

Ebenezer Scrooge: Heh heh!

[pulls down his mask briefly]

Mrs. Cratchit: Mr. Scrooge? He's gone mad!

Bob Cratchit: No, no, my dear, I'm sure there's an explanation.

Ebenezer Scrooge: I want to see you in my office on Monday morning, when I will double your wages.

Bob Cratchit: He *has* gone mad!

Ebenezer Scrooge: And be good enough to leave me alone during business hours.

Nephew Fred: Seven o'clock on Christmas Eve? That's not business hours, that's drudgery for the sake of it, and an insult to all men of goodwill.

Bob Cratchit: Here, here!

Nephew Fred: [surprised] Thank you, Bob Cratchit.

[Scrooge slowly turns on Cratchit]

Ebenezer Scrooge: Another word from you, Cratchit, and you will celebrate Christmas by losing your position.

[He then slowly turns back on Fred]

Ebenezer Scrooge: As for you, nephew, if you were in my will, I'd disinherit you!

Fred: I believe it has done me good and will do me good, and I say God bless it!

Bob Cratchit: Hear hear! Hear hear!
