Ebenezer Scrooge

  • Bah! Humbug!
  • What do you want with me?
  • Let me hear one word out of you, Cratchit, and you can keep Christmas by losing your situation!
  • There is nothing on this Earth more terrifying to me than a life doomed to poverty.
  • I've, uh....come to dinner. (pause) If you'll have me.

Jacob Marley

  • You will be haunted by three spirits.
  • Expect the first tomorrow when the bell tolls one.
  • Look to see me no more.

The Ghost of Christmas Past

  • I am the Ghost of Christmas Past.
  • Rise and walk with me.

The Ghost of Christmas Present

  • Enter, Scrooge.
  • You have never seen the likes of me before?
  • Peace on Earth. Good will to all men.
  • This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware them both.

Dialogue

Tiny Tim: God bless us. Every one.
Ebenezer Scrooge: Spirit! Hear Me! I'm not the man I was!
Ebenezer Scrooge: Haunt me no longer!

About A Christmas Carol (2009 film)

  • Well yeah, my ambition was to stay true to the original piece, and I think horror is a dangerous word to use these days because it conjures up images of horror movies.
But I think what you're responding to is very classic dramatic storytelling devices like suspense and tension. And I think that to really make the story of redemption work, for Scrooge to actually see the light, he has to be plunged into the darkness.
