own free will, I wore it. You have a chance and hope of escaping my fate.

Scrooge: (nervously) What are you, then?

Marley: I am doomed to wander through the world and witness what I cannot
share but might have shared on earth and turned to happiness! I cannot rest, I
cannot stay, I cannot linger anywhere.
