Belle : If there had been no understanding between us, would you seek me out and try to win me now, a dowerless girl with nothing but myself to bring to a marriage?
[silence from Young Scrooge]
Belle : You have no answer?
Young Scrooge : You think I would not then?
Belle : Oh Ebenezer, what a safe and terrible answer! So characteristic of the careful man.
[pause]
Belle : Ebenezer, I release you. You are a free man. I let you go with a full heart. May you be happy in the life you have chosen.
