MAID: There are two men downstairs waiting for you.

SCROOGE: What do they want?

SCROOGE: Bah! Are there no prisons for these people? Tell them I won't give even a penny!

(Cлужанка уходит и возвращается.)

MAID: Mr Scrooge...

SCROOGE: Who is there now?

MAID: It's Mr Cratchit, your clerk. (Bxoдит Бo6)

SCROOGE: What do you want. Bob?

BOB: Excuse me, Mr Scrooge. It's Christmas tomorrow. Could you give me a day off?

SCROOGE: All right. But be here early the next morning.

BOB: Certainly, Mr Scrooge. Thank you. Merry Christmas! (Уходum)

SCROOGE: Christmas. Christmas... They don't want to work. That's why they like Christmas.

It's time to go to bed. (Ложится в постель. Храпит. Звучит зловещая музыка.

Появляется призрак. Скрудж напуган.)

SCROOGE: Who are you?

GHOST OF JACOB MARLEY: In life I was Jacob Marley, your partner. I am wearing these chains and I

can never be in peace, because when I lived I only thought about money.

But I am here to help you. You have a chance to escape my terrible destiny. Tonight three ghosts will visit you.

SCROOGE: Ghosts? Why? Where are you? I must have been working too much today. (Ложится в

постель, пытается уснуть.)

GHOST 1: Wake up, Ebenezer!

SCROOGE: Who are you?

GHOST 1: I am the Ghost of Christmas Past.

Your past. Come with me.

(На мультимедийном экране Молодой человек и девушка.)

GHOST 1: Can you recognize this young man?

SCROOGE: Yes, it's me.

YOUNG SCROOGE: I can't marry you.

GIRL: Why? We love each other.

YOUNG SCROOGE: Love is not enough. We are both very poor.

GIRL: Oh. darling. Please, don't leave me.

SCROOGE: Stop! Show me no more! Poor girl! How could I do that to her? How heartless I

was! (Изображение исчезает. Призрак уходит.)

(Вновь звучит зловещая музыка. Появляется второй призрак.)

house of Bob Cratchit. (На экране семья Кратчитов. Крошка Тим лежит в постели).

TINY TIM: What are we having for Christmas dinner, mum?

BOB'S WIFE: Not much, dear.

TINY TIM: What a wonderful pudding!

anybody.
