Stave 1: Meet Ebenezer Krabs
(Sandy Cheeks is standing in a cemetery, leaning on a tombstone. There is mild snowfall and Sandy is wearing a black vest, a red scarf and a top hat over her spacesuit.)
Sandy (to the audience) : Howdy folks. The name's Sandy Cheeks and I shall be telling y'all a tale about Christmas, ghosts and a man with a heart that's black as coal who may discover about generosity that was long forgotten. But before we get to that, there's something y'all need to know first.
(There is a close-up on the tombstone. The tombstone reads: "R.I.P. Squidward Marley".)
Sandy (to the audience) : You got that? *pointing the written name* That fellow is dead. Seven years dead poor to where our story begins. Remember that: Squidward Marley is as dead as a door-nail...Weird, now what's so dead as a door-nail, anyway?
(Sandy shifts her eyes.)
Sandy (to the audience) : Oh, sorry about that. Now, on to our story.
(A snowy wind blows and the scene changes to a bird's eye view of an Old English city.)
Sandy's Voice: Now this where our story begins. It's Christmas Time once more and everybody's in good cheer.
Krabs's Voice: BAH! HUMBUG! QUIT THAT BLATHERING OF YOURS!
(The camera moves down to show Ebenezer Krabs standing in the middle of the street looking angrily at the sky.)
Sandy's Voice (slightly annoyed) : Except him! That would be Ebenezer Krabs.
Ebenezer Krabs: Humph!
(Krabs walks away.)
Sandy's Voice: Now, Krabs was a heartless person who thought about nothing but money and hated Christmas. He hated he whole Christmas season. Nobody knew why this was so. Some say that Krabs's head wasn't screwed on right. Others think that his shoes were on too tight.
(...)
Sandy's Voice: Whoops! Wrong story. Now, where did that greedy crustacean go?
(The camera pans to the right and Ebenezer Krabs is seen walking up to his counting house. Krabs opens the door and walks inside.
Inside, Krabs sees his employee, SpongeBob Cratchett, with a shovel. SponeBob is attempting to take some coal to warm the room where he did his work in.)
Ebenezer Krabs: SPONGEBOB!
(Spongebob stands straight up, holding the shovel parallel to his body and snapping a salute.)
Ebenezer Krabs: drop that shovel and get back to work on the double!
SpongeBob Cratchett (nervously) : Yes, Mr. Krabs!
(SpongeBob goes back to his office. Ebenezer Krabs sits at his desk. The door opens and out comes Krabs's niece, Pearl.)
Pearl: Hi there, Uncle Krabs!
Ebenezer Krabs: Argh. What do you want?
Pearl: I want you to come over for our Christmas tomorrow.
Ebenezer Krabs: What's the occasion?
Pearl: Um, Christmas?
Ebenezer Krabs: ...
Pearl: Oh, and I'm also getting engaged.
Ebenezer: For what?
Pearl: Marriage.
Ebenezer Krabs: WHAT? Since when did you get a boyfriend?
Pearl: Eight months ago! If you just visited my mother more often, you'd know things like this.
Ebenezer Krabs: So, what? Christmas is just another work day!
Pearl: It is not! Christmas is a time when everyone, no matter how old or how young, rich or poor, strangers or not can be merry with each other. A time of peace on Earth and goodwill to man-
Ebenezer Krabs: HUMBUG!
Pearl: But, Uncle-
Ebenezer Krabs: OUT!
(Pearl's eyes start getting all glossy and she leaves, slamming the door behind her.)
SpongeBob Cratchett: That was good speech, Mr. Krabs. If you didn't interupt like that, who knows how she could've ended.
Ebenezer Krabs (gritting his teeth) : SpongeBob...
SpongeBob Cratchett (nervously) : Wait! I was just wondering if you can let me have the day off tomorrow.
Ebenezer Krabs: Fine! But ye be getting half a day's pay. It makes no sense having to to pay you for a full day without working. Now get back to work!
SpongeBob Cratchett: Aye, Aye! Mr. Krabs.
(SpongeBob goes back to his office. The door opens again and two gentlemen, on tall and skinny and the other short and stout, walk inside.)
Stout Gentleman: Excuse me, is this Krabs and Marley's?
Ebenezer Krabs: Aye, that it is! Ebenezer Krabs and your service. State you business.
Skinny Gentleman: Well, we were wondering if you'd like to make a donation to the poor.
Ebenezer Krabs: Oh, really? Tell me, are there any prisons?
Stout Gentleman: Yes.
Ebenezer Krabs: How are the factories in this city?
Skinny Gentleman: There are quite fine.
Ebenezer Krabs: Then I won't be giving you a cent.
Gentlemen: WHAT?!
Ebenezer Krabs: You heard me, I pay enough in taxes for the things that already handle the poor! Now get out!
(The two gentlemen leave.)
Sandy's Voice: And so, the day went on and soon it was quitting time. SpongeBob left for home full of excitement, because he had tomorrow off. Ebenezer just went home, unaware of what super-natural thing would happen that very evening...
