He feels bad because he didn't help out when he had the chance. Then the spirit takes Scrooge back.
- Oh no! He has died!
- In scene 6, Scrooge wakes up, feeling like a new man. He realizes that he still has time to change his wrong actions. He finds a boy outside and asks him to find a butcher and come back in a few minutes for money in return. Once he gets the prize turkey, he heads over to the Cratchits home. As an apology, he gives the turkey to Bob Cratchit and his family.
- Hey you! Get me a good turkey!!
