Kermit the Frog:
[clears throat]
Um, excuse me, Mr. Scrooge, but it appears to be closing time.
Ebenezer Scrooge:
Very well. I'll see you at eight tomorrow morning.
Rats:
[whispering]
Ask him, ask him.
Kermit the Frog:
Um... um, tomorrow's Christmas.
Rats:
Mm-hmm.
Ebenezer Scrooge:
8:30, then.
Kermit the Frog:
Oh. Um, if you please, sir, half an hour off hardly seems customary for Christmas Day.
Rats:
No, no.
Ebenezer Scrooge:
How much time off *is* customary, Mr. Cratchit?
Kermit the Frog:
Uh... why, um, the, uh, whole day.
Rats:
Yeah, yeah.
Ebenezer Scrooge:
[appalled]
The entire day?
Rats:
No, no. It's the frog's idea.
Kermit the Frog:
If you please, Mr. Scrooge, why open the office tomorrow? Other businesses will be closed. You'll have no one to do business *with*. Uh, it'll waste a lot of expensive coal for the fire.
Rats:
Yeah. That's *definitely* a point.
Ebenezer Scrooge:
It's a poor excuse for picking a man's pocket every December the 25th.
[rats groan]
Ebenezer Scrooge:
But as I seem to be the only person around who knows that... take the day off.
[rats cheer; Scrooge stands up and goes for his hat; glares at the rats]
Ebenezer Scrooge:
Will you *stop that*?
[rats stop cheering and leave]
Kermit the Frog:
Uh... thank you, Mr. Scrooge.
Ebenezer Scrooge:
[steps outside and closes the door]
Be here all the earlier the next morning.
