The best part of this is that’s taken word-for-word from the original book.
As a kid I just assumed that was a Muppets joke but in actuality the only thing they added was the “Yay!” at the end.
Yes but think about the implications.
When dickens wrote that tiny Tim did not die, that was probably a few years after the story takes place. Tim is a healthy boy growing up and all is well.
But Gonso says this with his knowledge of the 1990s. Tim is over 150 years old at this point. And he did not die!
That is no mere health. That is something unnatural.
But how? Let us review what we know:
Ebenezer scrooge is a man of great cunning and little restrain in his greed. He finds out the afterlife exists and starts to fear his own mortality. What is more likely: a greedy man becomes happy and giving or q cunning opportunist is presented with new possibilities beyond is imagination and just celebrates for one day before going to work?
I do not know if scrooge cursed Timmy with immortality as a sick present because he actually pitied his death or if scrooge just used timmy as a guineapig to test how to achieve immortality. But either way with everybody Timmy knows dying before him I am sure he has by now learned of the horror of immortality and curses scrooge with every breath
