The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)

Raymond Coulthard: Young Scrooge

Quotes 

• Belle : [as they sit together]  Another year before our wedding, Ebenezer.

  Young Scrooge : Well, it can't be helped, Belle. How could we marry now? There's not even enough for a decent home. The investments haven't grown as they should.

  Belle : So you said last year.

  Young Scrooge : Business continues to be poor.

  Belle : You're a partner in your own firm now.

  Young Scrooge : And barely clearing expenses.

  Belle : You said the partnership was the goal.

  Young Scrooge : This is for you.

  [turns to Belle] 

  Young Scrooge : I love you, Belle.

  Belle : You did once.

• Fozziwig : Belle, you know, I love these annual Christmas parties. I love 'em so much, I think we'll do it twice a year!

  Young Scrooge : [brushing past Belle and Fozziwig]  Excuse me.

  [he sees Belle and is instantly attracted] 

  Young Scrooge : Oh... Excuse me.

  Fozziwig : Oh, Master Scrooge! Belle, I'd like you to meet Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge... the finest young financial mind in the city! Ebenezer, this is Belle! A friend of the Fozziwig family.

  Belle : I'm pleased to meet you.

  [she offers her hand, Scrooge kisses it] 

  Fozziwig : Well, I'm glad you two finally met.
