A Christmas Carol
Storyboard Text
- Scene 1- Scrooge's Office
- May I put you down for something sir?
- I wish to be left alone. I don't make merry myself at Christmas, and I can't afford to make idle people merry.
- Scene 2- Scrooge's bedroom
- Then you will walk where I do, burdened by your riches, your greed.
- I do not choose to. Spirits mean nothing to me.
- Scene 3- The Spirit of Christmas Past
- You cannot change now what you would not change then. I am your mistakes, Ebenezer Scrooge, all of the things you could have done and did not.
- No, no, it was not meant that way!
- I release you, Ebenezer, for the love of the man you once were. Will that man win me again, now that he is free?
- Scrooge's nephew, Fred, invites Scrooge to Christmas dinner, which he declines. A gentleman visitor arrives at Scrooge's house asking for money for the poor. Scrooge is annoyed and turns him down. Crachit, on the other hand, asks for Christmas day off and Scrooge allows him, grudgingly.
- Scene 4- The Spirit of Christmas Present
- I...I have seen enough. Tiny Tim... will he live?
- Shush! I've just gotten him down, and he needs all the sleep he can get.
- If he's asleep on Christmas Eve, I'll be much mistaken. Tim! He must sing, dear; there is nothing else that might make him well. Are you awake?
- Scrooge returns inside, cold, and Sparsit, charwoman, and cook greet Scrooge. Scrooge ignores them and goes to bed. In the night, he suddenly wakes up, hearing chains go up the stairs. Scrooge is shocked and scared when he sees his partner, Marley, as a ghost. Marley warns Scrooge to not be greedy and be like him but Scrooge doesn't listen or care. Marley then tells Scrooge that he has no choice but to be haunted by three spirits.
- Scene 5- The Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come
- No more! No more! I cannot. I cannot. The room is... too like a cheerless place that is familiar. I won't see it. Let us go from here. Anywhere.
- I always had a fancy for that nightcap of his. My old man could use it.
- The hour is struck and Scrooge sees the spirit of Christmas past. The spirit shows Scrooge his school and how everyone left for the holidays except him. Scrooge also sees his sister Fan and his master Fezziwig. Lastly, Scrooge sees his sweetheart, who he has left for money.
- Scene 6- Scrooge's Conversion
- God bless us everyone! Well, I'm very glad to be here at my nephew's house!
- MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
- Merry Christmas!
- The spirit of Christmas present appears. Scrooge sees it as Fezziwig. The spirit takes Scrooge to Bob and Mrs. Cratchit's house. Bob is grateful for his job and toasts Scrooge while Mrs. Cratchit thinks the opposite and thinks that he is greedy. They now see Tiny Tim, who is sick and ill. Scrooge wonders if the Cratchits will have enough money, while the spirit just mimicks the bad things Scrooge has said.
- He is very ill. Even song cannot keep him whole through a cold winter.
- Just a little.
- Scrooge sees the ghost of Christmas yet to come. The spirit shows Scrooge the cook, charwoman, and Sparsit who are searching the house for valuable items. This was what would happen to Scrooge when he was gone. He also sees the Cratchits house and sees that Tiny Tim has died.
- Do you think that little bell he's always ringing at me is silver enough to sell?
- Bein' a man of more practical tastes, I'll go for the worsted and hope the smell ain't permanent.
- After the spirits show Scrooge his past, present, and future, he finally realizes his mistake. He starts acting kinder, starts giving money to people who need it, and starts caring! Finally, he goes to Fred's house with the little girl he invited and has Christmas dinner with everyone!
- God bless us everyone!
- God bless us everyone!
