Scrooge: Must we return to this place? There is something else that I must know. Is that not true? Spirit? I know what I must ask. I fear to. But I must. Who is the wrenched man whose death brought so much glee and happiness to others?
(Spirit points to tombstone)
Scrooge : Answer me one more question. Are these the shadows of things that will be or are they the shadows of things that may be only?
(Spirit points to tombstone again)
Scrooge: These events can be changed. A life can be made right.
(Scrooge wipes snow off tombstone)
Scrooge: (Crying) Ebenezer Scrooge! Oh please spirit no. Hear me. I’m not the man I was. Why would you show me this if I was past all hope? I will honor Christmas and try to keep it all the year. I will live my life in the past, present, and the future. I will not shut out the lessons the spirits have taught me. Tell me I may sponge out the writing on this stone. Oh spirit! Please speak to me.
