I’ve never seen the movie, The Neverending Story

“You, there - boy! What day is it?”

“Why it’s fully five days after Christmas Day, sir!”

“fuckin’ slow ass bitch ass spirits taking their goddamn time”

What did Tiny Tim even have that Scrooge being less of an asshole could fix it? Not enough turkey-itus? Leech deficiency? Too much phlegm in the humors?

Kids these days, never enough phlegm in the humors.

ed: whatever it was that Tiny Tim had, I bet all the malnutrition didn’t help, it’s quite possibly it literally was not-enough-turkey-itus.
