Janak: It's fine. Seriously though, OW!
Marcello: So what brings you back from the dead?
Janak: Oh yeah. *ahem* Marcello! Your heart has been filled with bitterness and anger! If you do not repent, you will soon wear chains just like mine!
Marcello: Are those the chains my greed has forged, link by link, and yard by yard!?
Janak: No, I just stole these from the castle. But they're pretty darn heavy.
Marcello: Oh. *ahem* Is there no hope Janak? Can I not be spared such a terrible fate?
Janak: Actually we get casual Fridays, and the healthcare plan for ghosts is great. But yes, there is a chance!
Marcello: What is it Janak?
Janak: Tonight you will be visited by three spirits...
Marcello: Is that the chance you spoke of Janak?
Janak: No duh.
Marcello: Hey, I'm just saying what I remember from the book okay?
Janak: Fine, but that line is really repetitive...
Marcello: I think I'd rather not.
Janak: Why, afraid you might stab them?
Marcello: I said I was sorry!
Janak: I'm leaking ectoplasm, I have a right to complain!
Marcello: Thank you Janak; you have always been a good friend to me.
Janak: Except the time I peed in your cantine... man, that was hilarious.
Marcello: What?
Janak: Nothing. *ahem* You will meet the first spirit when the clock strikes midnight! Unless, you know, he's running late or something. But it'll be around then. *ahem* Repent Marcello! Repeeeeent... *dissapears into a wall. There are several crashes and a cry of pain* I'm okay! I'm okay!
* * * Scene 4: The Ghost of Christmas Past * * *
Marcello: Zzz... Zzz...
*a ghost enters, dressed in a flowing white robe*
Ghost: Marcellooooo....
Marcello: Eh? Whose there?
Ghost: I am the Ghost of Christmas Past.
Marcello: *stab*
Ghost: Argh! That hurt!
Marcello: Just checkin.
Ghost: Am I bleeding? No, no I'm okay.
Marcello: Wait... I think I recognize you... *gasp* you're Dante Bellephron!
Dante: Hehe, my reputation precedes me.
