"Gonzo/"Charles Dickens": [narrating as "Mr. Dickens"] Night was falling, and the lamplighters were plying their trade. And by the way I don't think I never see Scrooge act like- [accidentally lights Rizzo's tail]"
"Rizzo the Rat: Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, light the lamp, not the rat, LIGHT THE LAMP, NOT THE RAT!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!! PUT ME OUT!!!!!"
"Gonzo/"Charles Dickens": Oh! My apologies! Um... [suddenly spotting a barrel of water below the lamp post] Rizzo!"
