Added DiffLines:

* The scene following Frank's wonderful Christmas Eve with Claire is a jump to his time working on ''Frisbee's'', when he and Claire broke up. As Frank realizes where he is, he has a brief flash of nostalgia, only to realize what's about to happen and visibly ''die'' inside.

Ghost of Christmas Past isn't "evil", so he doesn't exactly fall into "Even Evil Has Standards".

** The reason that Calvin is mute for most of the movie: Grace revealed that Calvin saw his father being murdered years prior, and could never get over it. So, without that Christmas Miracle, this movie's version of Tiny Tim would grow up to become so troubled, he'd be committed involuntarily in an institution, which his mother has presumably worked herself to poverty trying to get him out.

Added DiffLines:

** The fact there are children in rags having to beg for anything is heartbreaking enough, but seeing both the disgust and the lack of empathy from Claire in her BadFuture is absolutely horrible. Even her fellow well-to-do friends call her out on her behavior.
** Frank's words to the Ghost after leaving her scenario which left him not just devastated, but ''[[TranquilFury angry]]'', too:
--> '''Frank:''' That was a ''lousy'' thing to do.

* The scene with Future!Claire, where it really hits Frank just what sort of a legacy he'll be leaving if he doesn't change.

* The scene with Future!Claire, where it really hits Frank just what sort of a legacy he'll be leaving if he doesn't change. Just seeing her become a cold, heartless RichBitch far removed from the sweet and wonderful woman she was.
