[The Conductor carries a light as they enter another train car, know as the Abandoned Toy Car.]
Ah, the forsaken and the abandoned. Mind your step now. These... These poor toys have suffered enough. Being left to rust and decay in the back alleys and vacant lots of the world.
What are they doing here?
It's a new concept the boss came up with. Instead of being thrown away, they're collected, refurbished. He calls it... re-by-cycling, or something like that.
Makes me wanna cry seeing toys that were treated this way.
These hopelessly entangled string puppets and marionettes pose a particular problem. We found that the nimble fingers of our workforce here at the North Pole are best suited for working out these knots and tangles, don't you think? Oh, thank you. Uh-oh. Double-locked here.
[The door shuts. Hero Boy continues looking at the toys and has gotten lost in the dark train car. He walks towards the door and bumps into a marionette of Scrooge who clasps his shoulder, Hero Boy stops walking, he turns nervously.] [As Ebenezer Scrooge]
You are just like me, my friend. A SCROOGE!
[Hero Boy gasps in horror and jumps back in fright]
Ebenezer Scrooge! North Pole, Santa Claus, this train-- It's all a bunch of humbug!
[Hero Boy looks up and notices the Hobo up on the roof, puppeteering Scrooge.] [Continued as Scrooge]
A bout of indigestion! Oh, yeah, I know what you are! YOU'RE A DOUBTER!!!
[Hero Boy screams and flees frantically, trying to find the door, but with all the puppets and marionettes in his path, it makes it almost impossible to get out.]
A DOUBTER! YOU DON'T BELIEVE! YOU'RE A DOUBTER!! YOU DON'T BELIEVE!!!
[Hero Boy reaches the door and instantly slams it shut, he has returned to the car where all the kids are sitting.]
