  Ghost of Christmas Past : Your welfare.

  Ebenezer Scrooge : [scoffs]  To be wakened by a ghost at one o'clock in the morning is hardly conducive to my welfare!

• Ebenezer Scrooge : [watching Fezziwig's Christmas party]  What a marvelous man...

  Ghost of Christmas Past : What's so marvelous? He's merely spent a few pounds of your mortal money. Three or four, perhaps. What is that to be deserving of so much praise?

  Ebenezer Scrooge : You don't understand. He had the power to make us happy or unhappy, to make our work a pleasure or a burden. It's nothing to do with money!
