Dialogue

Jacob Marley's Ghost: Your activities in life were so pleasing to Lucifer that he has appointed you to be his personal clerk. A singular honor. You will be to him, so to speak, what Bob Cratchit was to you.

Ebenezer Scrooge: That's not fair! It's... it's...

Jacob Marley's Ghost: Diabolical. I must confess, I find it not altogether unamusing.

---

Ghost of Christmas Present: There is never enough time to do or say all the things that we would wish. The thing is to try to do as much as you can in the time that you have.

Ebenezer Scrooge: Yes, but...

Ghost of Christmas Present: Remember, Scrooge, time is short, and suddenly, you're not there anymore.
