- [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]
- Mrs. Gamp (2015): You have the patience of a saint, Mr Bumble. I've often said so. Now, you warm yourself by the fire and let me fetch you a drink.
- Mr. Bumble: Oh, Mrs Gamp! Thank you! Your nursing capacity knows no bounds.
- [Handing over some coins]
- Mr. Bumble: A small ale will suffice.
- [Mrs Gamp remains where she is, an expectant look on her face]
- Mr. Bumble: Oh! Could I tempt you to join me?
- Mrs. Gamp (2015): [She gasps] Mr Bumble! Drinking during the day? In the company of a married gentleman? In a public place for everyone to see? And to risk them what sees jumping to conclusions which are untrue and without foundation? And risking my own good name and my standing in the community for the sake of a shot of gin?
- [She wags her finger disapprovingly]
- Mrs. Gamp (2015): Better make it just the one.
- [Sikes grabs Fagin]
- Bill Sikes: How about I crack open your skull, and see if the lies fall out?
- Fagin: Have you forgotten who I am, Bill? In your rage? Forgotten the order of things, my dear? You threaten me again, I will gut you like a fish and feed you to the rats.
- [Sikes looks down and sees that Fagin is holding a knife to his chest]
- Fagin: Now or never, Bill.
- [Sikes moodily pulls from Fagin's grip and leaves]
