Dialogue

edit
Ebenezer Scrooge: [to Marley's ghost] We'll soon see how real you are. [Calling out the window] Watch! There's an intruder in my room!
Leader of watch: Right up, sir - law and order!
Jacob Marley's ghost: It was for your welfare that I made this visit, Ebenezer Scrooge.
Leader of watch: Your intruder seems to have extruded, if I may say so, sir.
Ebenezer Scrooge: He was here! He was a spirit!
Leader of watch: [laughing] Of course, sir! A fine night for spirits - of one form or another, sir! (winks)

Ebenezer Scrooge: Please let me stay!
Spirit of Christmas Present: Nonsense! You don't want to stay!
Ebenezer Scrooge: Yes, I do!
Spirit of Christmas Present: No! You don't like Christmas!
Ebenezer Scrooge: Yes! Yes, I do! I like Christmas! I LOVE Christmas! (laughs hysterically)

Ebenezer Scrooge: Fred! My dear nephew! How are you?
Fred: Well! Who is this?
Ebenezer Scrooge: It's me! Your Uncle Scrooge! Smile makes a difference, doesn't it?
