The Ebenezer of the past lives by our side, maybe you, or me.
Because, There is nothing on this earth more terrfying to me than a life doomed to poverty. So, we must weighs everthing by gain.
May you be happy in the life you've chosen.
But I will still release you in my heart.
God bless you. God bless us, everyone.
F: Another idol has replaced me.
M: Another idol? What idol?
F: A golden one.
M: There is nothing on this earth more terrfying to me than a life doomed to poverty . May I ask, why do you condemn, with such severity, the honest pursuit of substance?
F: You fear the world too much, Ebenezer. You've changed.
M: Changed? Perhaps grown wiser, but I have not changed toward you.
F: Our contract is an old one. It was made when we were both poor and content to be so. When it was made, you were another man.
M: I was a boy!
F: I release you, Ebenezer.
M: Have I ever sought release?
F: In words, no.
M: In what, then?
F: In an altered spirit. In another atmosphere of life. In everything that made my love of any worth in your sight. Tell me, Ebenezer , if this contract had never been between us, would you seek me out now? No.
M: You think not.
F: I would gladly think otherwise if I could. But if you were free today, would you choose a dowerless girl? A girl left penniless by the death of her parents? You, who weighs everthing by gain. I release you, Ebenezer. May you be happy in the life you've chosen.
