Young Scrooge Quotes in The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)

Sam the Eagle: Tomorrow, you become a man of business!

Young Scrooge: I'm looking forward to it, Headmaster.

Sam the Eagle: Mm, you will love business. It is the AMERICAN WAY!

Gonzo: [whispers] Sam...

[whispers in Sam's ear]

Sam the Eagle: Oh... It is the BRITISH WAY!

Young Scrooge: Yes, headmaster.

Belle: [as they sit together] Another year before our wedding, Ebenezer.

Young Scrooge: Well, it can't be helped, Belle. How could we marry now? There's not even enough for a decent home. The investments haven't grown as they should.

Belle: So you said last year.

Young Scrooge: Business continues to be poor.

Belle: You're a partner in your own firm now.

Young Scrooge: And barely clearing expenses.

Belle: You said the partnership was the goal.

Young Scrooge: This is for you.

[turns to Belle]

Young Scrooge: I love you, Belle.

Belle: You did once.

Fozziwig: Belle, you know, I love these annual Christmas parties. I love 'em so much, I think we'll do it twice a year!

Young Scrooge: [brushing past Belle and Fozziwig] Excuse me.

[he sees Belle and is instantly attracted]

Young Scrooge: Oh... Excuse me.

Fozziwig: Oh, Master Scrooge! Belle, I'd like you to meet Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge... the finest young financial mind in the city! Ebenezer, this is Belle! A friend of the Fozziwig family.

Belle: I'm pleased to meet you.

[she offers her hand, Scrooge kisses it]

Fozziwig: Well, I'm glad you two finally met.
