Scrooged

November 18, 2011

This exchange is from sometime before Christmas, though I don’t know which year. The Arthur Rachman painting above reminds me of one of the most unbelievable of Tony’s many unbelievable experiences:

PHILIP
“Is there anything you don’t especially like about Christmas?”

TONY
“Well there’s one thing, when rich people should be helping poor people more like the good Lord told us. There’s something wrong with being a Scrooge, especially when you’re talking about single mothers and their kids. You gotta help if you can, if you know what I mean.”

At what cost?

TONY
“You know how much I have to pay for all these drugs I’m supposed to be taking?”

PHILIP
“No idea.”

TONY
“Just guess.”

PHILIP
“OK. $200 bucks. A month. Am I close?”

TONY
“$268.13.”

PHILIP
“Wow.”

TONY
“You got that right. Thank God for OHIP, like I always say, if you know what I mean.”
