A Christmas Carol (1984 TV Movie)

Peter Woodthorpe: Old Joe

Quotes 

• Mrs. Dilber : [having cleaned out Scrooge's townhouse, she's now selling his things on the rough side of town]  ... Watch, bed-curtains, blankets... So what's your offer for all these?

  Old Joe : One pound-sterling, five crowns and three schillings. Not a hay-penny more if I was to be boiled for it.

  Mrs. Dilber : You're hardened, Joe, and no mistake!

  Old Joe : I'm ALWAYS kind to the ladies! That's the way I ruined myself!

  [They both laugh heartily over this] 

  Ebenezer Scrooge : [to Christmas Future]  Spirit, what perversity is this? I've asked to see some emotion connected with this man's death... and you've shown me only greed and avarice! There must be some TENDERNESS, some... DEPTH OF FEELING!

  [He finds himself back at the Cratchit House] 

  Ebenezer Scrooge : There must be some mistake; your fellow Spirit already brought me here earlier.

  [Christmas Future motions for him to go inside] 

  Ebenezer Scrooge : Very well... You're devilishly hard to have conversation with.
