Ebenezer's Contract Story (2021) | |
---|---|
1 | What is that smell? Christmas punch? Yuck! Christmas markets are open already?! |
2 | Oh, hello there! I didn’t see you because of all those bright lights. I bet they are getting brighter and brighter each year! You can’t even have a proper darkness these days! |
3 | And that carol singing everywhere! I really didn’t miss it at all! |
4 | Am I complaining too much? OK, I’ll stop for now. Let me tell you a joke: What is Cringe’s least favorite band? - The Who! |
5 | It seems you didn’t get my joke. I’ll try one more: What is the best Christmas present in the world? - A broken drum, you just can’t beat it! |
6 | Something about this Christmas tells me that they will be different, but I can’t yet figure out what it is. Maybe all this merry-making is clouding my judgement. |
7 | This is all just a beginning. True pre-Christmas madness will start in a few days. Everyone will be asking for some time off! |
8 | I am so cold! You better bring me some wood! |
9 | Christmas. My “favorite” time of the year. Ugh! People are all crazy about it, smiling like fools and bothering me with all that Christmas nonsense. As if that wasn’t enough - some kids have built a bunch of snowmen in front of my house. Help me get rid of them. Now! |
10 | While everyone else is going nuts, I’ll stay calm and focus on what’s really important - my business and wealth! Someone will have a new Christmas tree, someone will have a new office. Ha! |
11 | You seem to be lazing around! Please, don’t tell me that you’re into this Christmas madness too. Don’t worry - I know what will change your thoughts. A proper batch of bricks! |
12 | Bricks and marble will do, but I hope you didn’t think that this is it. I am sure that you have hoarded tons of Steel at your station so don’t be a scrooge. That’s my job, ha-ha-ha! |
13 | Do you know what’s gonna warm you up even better than mulled wine? Hard work! Help me build the office and you’ll feel better immediately. |
14 | You’ll think I’ve lost my mind, but I have to tell you something. Last night, I had a dream. A very weird dream… But, you know what - forget it. You better fill my new office with gold. |
15 | Do you believe in ghosts? I certainly don’t! But my dreams are getting weirder and weirder. Maybe I’m just overworked… wait, you’re not?! Well, then don’t just sit here and bring me more materials! |
16 | I didn’t want to talk about it, but I can’t stand it anymore. I think my house is haunted! Moreover, I had a dream. I was a small boy, it was winter and I had nobody to play with. A very sad memory… Won’t you build at least one snowman with me? I’d love to try it out. Just to make sure that I didn’t miss anything, of course… |
17 | Enough of this foolishness! Let’s get back to business before people start thinking that I have joined this Jingle-Bell madness. Dispatch the best trains in your fleet, we’re going to need them soon. |
18 | People say that I don’t have feelings. That my heart is made of stone! But I’ll prove them wrong! We’ll build something they would never expect. What will it be? A surprise, my friend! |
19 | You’ve sent me a high-quality borax, but will lithium be the same? I have my doubts about that… |
20 | Alright, fine, I’m not complaining anymore. Come on, bring me a bit more neodymium and I promise to stay quiet. |
21 | Unbelievable! My own nephew was gossiping about me at a dinner party! I guess it’s because I refused his invitation to the Christmas dinner last year. But I’m sure he’ll change his mind when he sees the building we’ll finish tomorrow. He’ll be blown away! |
22 | Ha! I bet that nobody saw this coming. Tea is a precious commodity nowadays and you can make a fortune with it! |
23 | Shall we have some coffee? I never ever want to sleep again. Last night, I had a dream about my own funeral - everyone was happy, toasting with my vintage Chateau Pixelaus, stealing my possessions! They also said that I´d die alone unless I changed. Any ideas how to do that? |
24 | Donating my profit to the local orphanage? Have you lost your mind?! Oh, okay then. Fine. But only the profit from the tea shop. I also have to live on something! |
25 | I have to admit that I feel kind of relieved after having got rid of all that money. I sleep better and my chest pain has been replaced with something I’ve never felt before - a good feeling, perhaps? |
26 | I have to admit that I like this feeling! I’d love to help someone again… and I’m sure that you have tons of materials to give away, ha-ha! |
27 | I originally wanted my employees to work on Christmas Eve; they don’t have enough money to travel home anyway. Let’s surprise them with a special private train so they can be with their families! |
28 | I think they are starting to like me! Unbelievable. There’s one more thing I have to do - make peace with my nephew. Prepare the gifts and let’s go! Oh, and by the way - I’d like to thank you for your help, my friend. You’ve shown me that Christmas is not that bad at all! |
