A Christmas Carol Quotes

A Plea for Redemption and Change

Ebenezer Scrooge: [his death date appears on the stone; his death date comes; tries to move, but gets stuck, then slowly sinks in; nearly falls in and holds onto a branch and looks down at the coffin, which opens the door. He yelps in surprise, and squeals in panic, but shouts in terror as the branch almost comes loose; as the Spirit comes closer, the camera pans on him as he screams in horror at his face, which is a skull face to scare him; opens his eyes to see the branch turn into the Spirit's hand, screams in panic and falls into the coffin as the spirit lets him go and is gone. He continues making his way to the coffin and almost hits it hard. A clanging noise suddenly stops him from falling, he still has his eyes shut, but wakes up, and sees that his foot is caught by the bed curtains. He falls to the floor and picks up the curtains and realizes that it's his bedroom] Spirit! Hear me! I'm not the man I was! Why show me this if I am past all hope?! Spirit? Spirit, assure that I may yet change these shadows you've shown me! Change them by an altered life! No, Spirit. NO! No, Spirit! Good spirit... Help me! Spirit! Help me, Spirit!! Help, Spirit! Spirit? I will honor Christmas in my heart and try to keep it all year. I will not shut out the lessons of the past, nor present, nor future. Oh, please, Spirit? Tell me. I may sponge away the writing on that stone!!

Beware of Ignorance and Want

Ebenezer Scrooge: Are they yours?
The Ghost of Christmas Present: [the loud clock bell tolls louder at the strikes of 12, which it kills him. As Present is still laughing, he turns into an old age.] They are mens. This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware them both.
