A Christmas Carol1984

Ebenezer Scrooge:
[after Present shows him a starving homeless family] Why do you show me this? What has it to do with me?

Ghost of Christmas Present:
Are they not of the human race? Look here, beneath my robe!

[opens his robe to reveal two filthy, ashen, corpse-like children standing where his legs should be]

Ghost of Christmas Present:
Look upon these!

Ebenezer Scrooge:
[stupefied with horror] What are they?

Ghost of Christmas Present:
They are your children! They are the children of all who walk the earth unseen! Their names are Ignorance and Want! Beware of them, for upon their brow is written the word "doom"! They spell the downfall of you and all who deny their existence!

Ebenezer Scrooge:
Have they no refuge, no resource?

Ghost of Christmas Present:
[smiles, mocking him from an earlier conversation] "Are there no workhouses? Are there no prisons?"

Ebenezer Scrooge:
[looks down at the children] Cover them. I do not wish to see them.

Ghost of Christmas Present:
I thought as much.

[Present closes his robe to conceal the children]

Ghost of Christmas Present:
They are hidden... but they live... oh, they live...
