Yuki/Bob: -walks up to Scrooge- Give me some coal for the fire, you stupid Cat.
Kyo/Scrooge: HEY! You're supposed to be afraid of me! I RULE OVER YOU!
Steph: -whispering from off stage- He's right, Yuki.
Yuki/Bob: Damn… -puts on scared, innocent face- Mr. Scrooge, could I please have some cold for the fire?
Kyo/Scrooge: -mildly freaked out- No.
Yuki/Bob: Why?
Kyo/Scrooge: Cuz I'm the boss, that's why! NOW GET BACK TO WORK!!
Yuki/Bob: Whatever. –goes back to work-
Hatori/Fred: -enters through door- Merry Christmas Uncle.
Yuki/Bob: You don't sound too happy.
Kyo/Scrooge: Whatever. Bah Humbug.
Yuki/Hatori: What?!
Kyo/Scrooge: That's my line!
Hatori/Fred: Oh. Okay. Humbug to Christmas? You can't really mean that.
Kyo/Scrooge: YES I CAN! NOW GO AWAY!
Hatori/Fred: Whatever. By the way, my wife and I want you to come for dinner.
Kyo/Scrooge: No. NOW GO!
Hatori/Fred: -leaves-
Yuki/Bob: I'm going home now.
Kyo/Scrooge: Whatever. Just be back here tomorrow.
Yuki/Bob: No. Tomorrow's Christmas, and I want to spend it with my family.
Kyo/Scrooge: I never thought I'd hear you say that.
Yuki/Bob: Yah, well in this play, I have a family I don't hate. See you in a couple of days. –leaves, slamming door behind him-
Kyo/Scrooge: Bah Humbug!
Hana/Charity: -comes in- Do I have the… pleasure… of talking to a Mr. Scrooge or Mr. Marley?
Kyo/Scrooge: I am Scrooge. Marley died 10 years ago this very day.
Hana/Charity: I see… I didn't sense his waves anywhere. Anyway, I am collecting money for the poor and less fortunate so they may have a… Merry Christmas.
Kyo/Scrooge: Tell the poor and less fortunate to drop dead.
Hana/Charity: Many rather do that then go to Workhouse's or Prisons.
Kyo/Scrooge: Then let them do that! It'll decrease the sulfurous population.
Steph: -whispering from offstage- That's surplus.
Kyo/Scrooge: Whatever. Just go away.
Hana/Charity: You're lucky the poor and less fortunate can't curse you. –leaves-
Kyo/Scrooge: Yah yah, whatever. –gathers things and leaves-
