Mr. Shreddington: The meeting was supposed to take place at 4:00! Not 4:30 Jeremiah! What is the matter with you boy?
Jeremiah: Yessir Mr. Shreddington sir, I'm sorry sir... You see I am only a lowly chimney sweep, and I got caught up at the Mayor's Mansion, cleaning all of his 35 chimneys! They had me working day and night!
Mr. Shreddington: Ah I see! Well why didn't you say so! You see Jeremiah I know what it means to be a Chimney Sweep... for I was once a Sweep myself.
Oh glory be the days, when I would climb into the chimney as a small boy, and clean the living daylights out of it! I was the fasted Sweep this side of Lincoln Street I was!
But one day I was cursed and banished by the Chimney Sweep Legion, or CSL. For you see I had betrayed the ancient chimney code of Never Sweep at Night - and oh boy did I ever sweep at night!
For my high crimes they tied me to a lamppost and made me choke down the ashes of 1000 Christmas fire's past... but I wouldn't trade those days in for one second. By god as my witness, not one measly second.
