Dialogue Benedict Slade: [after watching his younger self make a deal with Jack Latham] Yup, that's me! I always moved in when the moment was good. I could always smell a good business deal. Ghost of Christmas Past: So could Latham. Look where he ended up. Benedict Slade: I know this place. I've never been here before. Why does it look so familiar? Ghost of Christmas Present: A picture, maybe? Benedict Slade: On my office wall. My... employee... over his desk... Ghost of Christmas Present: Your former employee. Remember? Benedict Slade: He deserved to be fired. Disagrees with everything I do. Conspires with others to pull money out of me. Who needs someone like that around?

The monument looks fairly new, and yet, neglected. Matt Reeves Ghost of Christmas Future: No one visits that grave. Benedict Slade: Not ever, Matt? Matt Reeves Ghost of Christmas Future: Not ever. Benedict Slade: To lie in a grave, un-loved and un-remembered, is as if the life was never lived. Matt Reeves Ghost of Christmas Future: That is the only... real death.
