Mickey's Christmas Carol Page #2

---

This is the home of your overworked,

underpaid employee, Bob Cratchit.

What's she cooking? A canary?

Surely they have more food than that.

Look on the fire.

That's your laundry.

Not yet, children.

We must wait for Tiny Tim.

Coming, Father.

I'm coming.

Oh, my,

look at all the wonderful things to eat.

We must thank Mr. Scrooge.

Tell me, spirit,

what's wrong with that kind lad?

Much, I'm afraid.

If these shadows remain unchanged,

I see an empty chair

where Tiny Tim once sat.

Then that means Tim will?

Where did they go?

Spirit, where are you?

Don't go. You must tell me about Tim.

Don't go.

Where did...?

Who are you?

Are you the Ghost of Christmas Future?

Please, speak to me.

Tell me, what will happen to Tiny Tim?

Oh, no.

Spirit, I didn't want this to happen.

Tell me these events

can yet be changed.

I've never seen a funeral like this one.

Aye, no mourners,

no friends to bid him farewell.

Oh, well, let's rest a minute

afore we fill it in, eh?

He ain't going nowhere.

Spirit.

Whose lonely grave is this?

Why, yours, Ebenezer.

The richest man in the cemetery.

Please.

No, no, no.

I'll change.

I'll change.

Spirit, let me out, let me out. I'll...

Oh, I'm back in my own room.

It's Christmas morning.

I haven't missed it.

The spirits have given me

another chance.

Oh, I know just what I'll do.

They'll be so surprised.

What a wonderful day.

Oh, there's so much to do.

Oh, so much to do.

I can't go out like this.

There, that's better.

Merry Christmas to one and all.

Well, bless me.

Good morning, gentlemen.

I have something for you.

Twenty gold sovereigns. Oh, no.

Not enough? Well, all right.

Fifty gold sovereigns.

- Really, Mr. Scrooge, it's...

- Still not enough?

Aye, you drive a hard bargain.

Here you are.

One hundred gold pieces.

And not a penny more.

Not a penny more.

Oh, thank you, Mr. Scrooge. Thank you.

And a merry Christmas to you.

Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Oh, nephew.

Uncle Scrooge.

I'm looking forward

to that wonderful meal of yours.

Well, I'll be doggone.

You mean you're coming?

Of course I am.

You know how much I like candied fruits

with spiced sugar cakes.

I'll be over promptly at 2.

Keep it piping hot.

I will, Uncle Scrooge. I will.

And a very merry Christmas to you.

Merry Christmas, and keep the change.

Wonderful lads.

And now for Cratchit.

Why, Mr. Scrooge. Merry Christmas.

- Won't you come in?

- Merry Christmas.

I have another bundle for you.

But, sir, it's Christmas day.

Christmas day, indeed.

Just another excuse for being lazy.

And another thing, Cratchit.

I've had enough of this half-day-off stuff.

You leave me no alternative

but to give you...

- Toys.

- Yes, toys.

No, no, no.

I'm giving you a raise

and making you my partner.

A partner?

Oh, thank you, Mr. Scrooge.

Merry Christmas, Bob.

And God bless us, everyone.
