- Jacob Marley: You don't believe in me. Do you doubt your senses?
- Ebenezer Scrooge: A little thing can affect the senses. You may be a bit of undigested beef, a blot of mustard, an underdone potato. There's more of gravy than the grave about you, whatever you are.
- Ebenezer Scrooge: I didn't know Cratchit had a sick child.
- Ghost of Christmas Present: He tried to tell you, you wouldn't listen.
- Ebenezer Scrooge: What of Tiny Tim? Will he live?
- Ghost of Christmas Present: He'd be better to die and decrease the surplus population.
- Ebenezer Scrooge: You mock me with my own words!
- Ghost of Christmas Present: Who are you to decide who shall live and who shall die? If these shadows remain unaltered by the future, the child will die.
- Ghost of Christmas Past: These are the shadows of the things that have been. They are what they are. Do not blame me
