There was nothing warm about him. He lived a secretive, lonely live, and took no interest in other people at all. The cold inside him made his eyes red, and his thin lips blue, and his voice high and cross. It put white frost in his heart made the air around him cold, too. In the hottest days if summer his office was as cold as ice, and it was just as cold in winter. Nobody could take anything from him. Animals as well as people were afraid of him. But Scrooge didn’t care. It was just what he wanted.) ACT 1 (One Christmas Eve, old Scrooge was working busily in his office, it was very cold. Scrooge kept his office door open, in older to check that his clerk, Bob, was working. At this time, Scrooge’s nephew came to see him.) N: Merry Christmas, uncle! God bless you! S: Bah! Humbug! N: Christmas is humbug! Surely you don’t mean that, uncle? S: I do. Why do you call it “merry” Christmas? You’re too poor to be merry. N: Well, why are you so cross? You are too rich to be unhappy. S: Of course I’m cross. When I live in a world full of stupid people like you! You say “Merry Christmas”! But what is Christmas? Just a time when you spend too much, when you find yourself a year older and not an hour richer, when you have to pay your bills. Everyone who goes around saying “Merry Christmas” should have his tongue cut out. Yes he should! N: Uncle! Please don’t say that! I’ve always thought of Christmas as a time to be helpful and kind to other people. It’s the only time of the year when men and women open their heart freely to each other. And so, uncle, although I’ve never made any money from it, I think Christmas has been and will be a good time for me! And I say, God bless Christmas! B: Yeah, I totally agree with you! S: If I hear another sound from you, you’ll lose your job. N: Don’t be angry with him
