Opening Scene/L and O Walks Down the Street:

 * ("A Loremas Carol" Title Card Appears)
 * Chorus: "Oh, what a merry Christmas Day! Hear the joyous music play! Bells are ringing, choirs singing. Oh, what a merry Christmas Day! Sharing a season of good cheer with the ones we hold so dear, friendly faces, warm embraces. Oh, what a merry Christmas Day! Snowflake covered country lanes, Jack Frost painted window panes, twinkling stars on Christmas trees. Oh, what happy memories. Gathered 'round the fireplace, families filled with love and grace, from the peaceful embers glow, blessed yuletide spirits grow. Grow and grow. Grow and grow. Joy to the children far and near. What a wonderous time of year. Isn't it just grand to say Merry Merry Christmas? (Merry Merry Christmas?) Merry Merry Christmas? (Merry Merry Christmas?) Oh, what a merry Christmas Day!"

 * Mia: Sir, we are soliciting funds for the indigent and destitute.
 * Ebenezer Scrooge/L and O: For the what?
 * Rhea: We're collecting for the poor.
 * Ebenezer Scrooge/L and O: Oh. Aha. Well, um, you realize if you give money to the poor, they won't be poor anymore, will they?
 * Rhea: Well, uh--
 * Ebenezer Scrooge/L and O: And if they're not poor anymore, they you won't have to raise money for them anymore.
 * Mia: Well, I suppose--
 * Ebenezer Scrooge/L and O: And if you don't have to raise money for them anymore, they you would be out of a job. Oh, please, kids. Don't ask me to put you out of a job. Not on Christmas Eve.
 * Mia: Oh, we'd never do that, Mr. Scrooge.
 * Ebenezer Scrooge/L and O: Well, then, I suggest you give this to the poor, and begone.
