dramadramaduck | [VIDEO] A national TV channel says Scrooge's birthday is today and I will not argue with them.

[The scene? Scrooge sits at his desk, angrily addressing someone on the intercom...] And Typefast, tell whoever it is that the damn contest was a hoax! They were never going to give me my secret desire!

You know, Scrooge, this is also the 50th anniversary of something else, [a more feminine voice says from just off-camera.] It's been 50 years since you left the Klondike.

[He turns to look at whoever it is, and the look on his face can be described as nothing less than flabbergasted.] GOLDIE! Wh-wh-what do you w-w-want?

Your family and friends chipped in to fly me here for your golden jubilee! They all wanted to give something to the duck who has all that money can buy.

L-L-L-Like wh-wh-what? [Scrooge sinks into his chair, sweating more and more. Goldie, on the other hand, leans in closer. That doesn't seem to help the sweating much.]

Something only I can give him... just... a little something special.

[She leans even closer... and whispers something to Scrooge's ear. Whatever it is, it leaves him completely speechless. Then, she pulls him - by his sideburns - into a kiss.

... A ducky, bill-to-bill kiss.

When it ends, Scrooge - who is as red as his clothes now - punches the desk.] Dagnabbit! I'm too busy for this kind of foolishness!

I know, I know.

I'll bet that idiot nephew of mine put you up to this! Wait till I get I hands on him!!

Him and a bunch of other "idiots". [She begins to leave, looking quite pleased. Scrooge seems to turn his full, undivided attention to some papers on his desk, clutching them right up to his face.]

I have a world-wide empire to run! I can't just drop everything and fritter away time on nonsense!

I know... I know. I'll wait. Goodbye, Scrooge. [Still with a smile, she walks out and shuts the door. He watches her walk away over his papers, grumbling and scowling -

When she is out of sight, he drops whatever he was pretending to do and, instead, holds his head in a teary-eyed smile.]
