Eddie Carroll: Ghost of Christmas Past - Jiminy Cricket

Quotes 

• Ghost of Christmas Past : *Well*, it's about time! Haven't got all night, you know.

  Scrooge : Who... who are you?

  Ghost of Christmas Past : Why...

  [chuckles] 

  Ghost of Christmas Past : I'm the Ghost of Christmas Past.

  [reveals a medal badge that reads "Ghost of Christmas Past Official"] 

  Scrooge : Ohhh, I thought you'd be taller.

  Ghost of Christmas Past : Hmph! Listen, Scrooge: if men were measured by kindness, you'd be no - *bigger* than a... speck o'dust!

  Scrooge : [yawns then turns over to try to get back to sleep]  Kindness is of little use in this world.

  Ghost of Christmas Past : You didn't always think so. Come on, Scrooge, it's time to go!

  Scrooge : Then go!

• Ghost of Christmas Past : [as Scrooge panics while flying toward the past]  What's wrong, Scrooge?

  [laughs] 

  Ghost of Christmas Past : I thought you enjoyed looking down on the world!

• Scrooge : And that shy lad in the corner, that's me.

  Ghost of Christmas Past : Yes, that was before you became a miserable miser, consumed by greed.

  Scrooge : Well, nobody's perfect.

• Scrooge : Ahhh, I remember how much I was in love with her.

  [a wind blows and the lights inside go out] 

  Ghost of Christmas Past : In ten years time, you learned to love something else.

  Scrooge : Why, it's my counting house.

  [Scrooge sees himself sitting in his chair counting money] 

  Scrooge : 9,971, 9,972...

  Belle : Ebenezer?

  Scrooge : Yes, what is it?

  Belle : For years, I've had this honeymoon cottage, Ebenezer. I've been waiting for you to keep your promise to marry me. Now I must know, have you made your decision?

  Scrooge : [sternly]  I have! Your last payment on the cottage was an hour late! I'm fore-*closing* the mortgage!

  [Belle walks away, crying] 

  Ghost of Christmas Past : You loved your gold more than that precious creature, and you lost her forever.

  Scrooge : 9,97...

  [Belle leaves and slams the door behind her, hard enough to make the coins clatter everywhere] 

  Scrooge : ... 3.

  Scrooge : Please, spirit, I can no longer bear these memories! Take me home!

  Ghost of Christmas Past : Remember, Scrooge, you fashioned these memories yourself.
