Ebenezer Scrooge quotes from A Christmas Carol (2009) ... Movie Quotes Database

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, Spirit! [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] Spirit? I will honor Christmas in my heart and try to keep it all the 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!!! [opens his eyes to see the branch turn into the Spirit's hand, screams in panic and plunges downward 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 while tumbling helplessly and continuing to scream even more. As a clanging noise suddenly stops him from plummeting, he still has his eyes shut, but wakes up from his dream, and sees that his foot is caught by the bed curtains, that is holding his foot to save his life. He collapses to the floor and picks up the curtains and realizes that it's his bedroom and is his own room]
