7* Scrooge fighting off the entire crowd of Sumo-Wrestling Scorpions with nothing but his bare hands and his cane. At one point, Webby even helps out!
8* The sheer fact [[{{Determinator}} Scrooge was willing to stay and take on Merlock,]] despite now knowing the full extent of his powers.
9-->'''Scrooge:''' [[BringIt No! We stand our ground!]]
10** The first time Genie actually tries to warn him about Merlock coming after him fails miserably. The moment Scrooge recognizes him in the crowd as the guy who stole Collie Baba's treasure off of him, [[LetMeAtHim he tries to make a beeline for him]].
11--->'''Scrooge:''' ''(furious)'' It's that backstabbing banshee!
12** Scrooge takes exactly zero of Merlock's crap, the entire movie. Even when Merlock uses the lamp to destroy the Money Bin and create his nightmarish fortress, Scrooge isn't cowed and [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu stands up to him]].
13--->'''Scrooge:''' [[YouMonster You maniac!]] [[PreAssKickingOneLiner Return the bin before I stuff that lamp down your throat!]]
14* Scrooge's first wish, which he does with no hesitation; is to take back Collie Baba's treasure after Merlock looted it. It appears right before him, and for extra LaserGuidedKarma, lands on top of Merlock in his rat form.
15* The Genie coming up with a way to save him and Scrooge from Merlock when Scrooge stubbornly refuses to wish them to safety.
16* The infiltration of the Money Bin.
17* Scrooge's free-falling FinalBattle with Merlock over the [[GenieInABottle lamp]]. Bear in mind, Merlock had transformed into a griffin, and Scrooge is freaking ''ninety'', though he's survived so much one doubts terminal velocity would kill him. The old duck whips out his cane and knocks Merlock's talisman out of his hand -- dispelling the shapeshift and [[BroughtDownToNormal returning him to normal]] thousands of feet in the air -- which [[DisneyVillainDeath sends the sorcerer hurtling to his doom]].
18-->'''Scrooge:''' [[PreMortemOneLiner Laugh at me, will ya? I'll show you!]] '''[[PreMortemOneLiner GIVE BACK THE LAMP,]] ''[[PreMortemOneLiner YOU FLEA-BITTEN BUZZARD!]]'''''
19** Genie also gets one when he catches up to Scrooge and demands he makes a wish before they hit the ground. The previously hesitant Scrooge doesn't even bother to protest.
20--->'''Genie:''' This time, you HAVE to make a wish!\
21'''Scrooge:''' Aye! I wish me, and my family, and my bin, were back in Duckburg! ''RIGHT NOW!'' (''poof!'')
22* And again faced with the possibility of using a wish, his last, to enrich himself, Scrooge decides enough is enough; the lamp is too dangerous to exist, and he's going to make sure no one uses it ever again.
23* Mixed with [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Funny Moment]], Scrooge catches Dijon stealing from his money bin, adding on to the many other double-crosses he committed throughout the movie. The film ends on Scrooge chasing the terrified pickpocket through the streets swearing to wring his neck.
24-->'''Dijon:''' But it's only some loose change!
25-->'''Scrooge:''' I'll change your ''face'', you THIEF!!!
