    • Quotes

      Ebenezer Scrooge: [after witnessing Tiny Tim drowning and getting saved, Scrooge and the Ghost of Christmas Future are outside the Cratchit's house] Wait. My sister said that you are the one who decides. Are you deciding now? Is it in your power to change things, because if it is...

      [the Ghost of Christmas Future has Scrooge against a wall, his gnarled hand on the miser's head in conversation]

      Ebenezer Scrooge: Me? I can change things? How?

      [the Ghost of Christmas Future stares]

      Ebenezer Scrooge: You mean, if I had my time again? Well then, give it to me. I-I know I don't deserve a second chance, but I understand now what it is I must..

      [the Ghost of Christmas Future lets go of Scrooge's head, and Scrooge sits down, and examines Belinda's ice skates. He sees Tiny Tim beside him. He puts down the ice skate]

      Ebenezer Scrooge: Tim, you'll catch your death.

      [Tim stares at him]

      Ebenezer Scrooge: Or is it death that has caught you?

      [Scrooge looks at the Ghost of Christmas Future]

      Ebenezer Scrooge: Is he dead?

      [the Ghost of Christmas Future stares back at him]

      Ebenezer Scrooge: Between life and death?

      [Tim suddenly disappears]

      Ebenezer Scrooge: Tim? TIM!

      [Scrooge is on his feet and he runs into the Cratchit house in desperation]

      Ebenezer Scrooge: If you can hear me you must live! You must stay awake, Tim-for your mother!

      Mary Cratchit: [She strokes Tim's forehead] Hang in there, little man.

      Ebenezer Scrooge: [He gets pushed around by the Ghost of Christmas Future] I don't care about the rules!

      [Scrooge gets thrown around, finally landing on the same frozen lake Tim drowned in, just as Tiny Tim dies]
