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.

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.
