Ned Dennehy: Ebeneezer Scrooge

Quotes 

• [Scrooge examines a handful of banknotes] 

  Ebeneezer Scrooge : The funds you've expected arrived?

  Edward Barbary : You have seven pounds in your hands, sir.

  Ebeneezer Scrooge : And another forty that isn't.

  Edward Barbary : You'll have the rest when I have it.

  Ebeneezer Scrooge : [sighs]  You talk about the repayment of your loan as something that will happen at your... convenience, and not according to the terms we agreed. I will see the rest - or you will see the bailiff.

  Edward Barbary : How dare you speak to me like that!

  Ebeneezer Scrooge : Well, if you prefer polite conversation over tea and dilled cucumber sandwiches, perhaps you might be better placed asking your bankers to lend you money?

  [Barbary is silent] 

  Ebeneezer Scrooge : No? I thought not. Good day, sir.

  [Barbary leaves, slamming the door behind him]
