A Christmas Carol

Jacob Marley: You do not believe in me. Ebenezer Scrooge: I don't?Jacob Marley: Why do you doubt your senses? Ebenezer Scrooge: Because a little thing affects them. A slight disorder of the stomach makes them cheats. You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato. There's more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are. [Jacob Marley roars at him] Mercy! Dreadful apparition, why do you trouble me? Jacob Marley: Man of worldly mind, do you believe in me or not?! Ebenezer Scrooge: I do! I must! Jacob Marley: WOE! Woe is me! Ebenezer Scrooge: You are fettered in chains. Why?

Ignorance: Go away Ebenezer Scrooge: Are they yours? The Ghost of Christmas Present: They are mens. This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware them both. [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.] Ebenezer Scrooge: Have they no refuge?! No resource?! Ignorance: [turns into adult] Are there no prisons?! Want: [turns into adult] Are there no workhouses?! [laughs madly]

Spirit...... before I draw nearer to that stone to which you point, answer me one question! Are these the shadows of things that will be or shadows of things that may be? Men's courses in life foreshadow certain ends. But if these courses are departed from, these ends will change. Isn't that so? [his name appears on the stone] No. No! Am I that man who lay upon the bed? [his birth date appears on the stone] No. Spirit, hear me! I'm not the man I was! Why show me this if I am past all hope?! [his death date appears on the stone] Spirit? Spirit, assure that I may yet change these shadows you've shown me! Change them by an altered life! [his death date comes] No, Spirit. NO! No, Spirit! [tries to move, but gets stuck, then slowly sinks in] Good spirit... Help me! Spirit! Help me, Spirit!! [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] Help, Spiri
