* In this version, after begging forgiveness to the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, Scrooge ends up back in his room when it's still Christmas Eve, and not right on Christmas morning as in most versions. The fact that he's not only given this chance of redemption, but also able to get a good night's sleep immediately after all he went through makes it all the more emotionally poignant. The emotionally relieved tone in his voice as he thanks Marley and the spirits, confirming that he'll keep his promises, is so remorsefully genuine and touching, especially when he sobs, "I say this on my knees, Jacob Marley... on my knees."

He identifies several of the boys and even calls out to them, until Past reminds him that they can't hear or see him.
