I came across a quiz earlier today, and I scored 100%. I took some of the questions from that quiz and added a few of my own.
The Rules are easy.
Give the name of the movie character who said the line as well as the name of the movie for a full 2 points.
Name of the character is worth 1 point
Movie name only is worth 1 point
QUIZ
1. "'What if Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store? What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more?'"
2. "Rats. Nobody sent me a Christmas card today. I almost wish there weren't a holiday season. I know nobody likes me. Why do we have to have a holiday season to emphasize it?"
3. "Aunt Clara had, for years, laboured under the delusion that I was not only perpetually four years old, but also a girl."
4. "When the thermometer gets red, the temperature goes up, and when the temperature goes up, I start to melt, and when I melt, I get all wishy-washy."
5. "She said I'm cute! I'm cute! I'm cuuuuuuuuute!"
6. "I see an empty place at this table. I see a crutch without an owner, carefully preserved. If these shadows remain unaltered by the future, the child will die."
7. "We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corn and syrup"?
8. "Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?"
9. "Look, Daddy. Teacher says, 'every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.'"
10. "Toys are hereby declared illegal, immoral, unlawful AND anyone found with a toy in his possession will be placed under arrest and thrown in the dungeon. No kidding!"
11. "I'm gonna give you a little advice Claire. Scrape 'em off. You wanna save somebody? Save yourself."
12. "Now wait a minute, Susie. Just because every child can't get his wish that doesn't mean there isn't a Santa Claus."
13. "This is *Christmas*. The season of perpetual hope. And I don't care if I have to get out on your runway and hitchhike. If it costs me everything I own, if I have to sell my soul to the devil himself, I am going to get home to my son."
14. "What has Beethoven got to do with Christmas? Everyone talks about how "great" Beethoven was. Beethoven wasn't so great."
15. "I want an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle!"
16. "I don't know what to say, except it's Christmas and we're all in misery."
17. "You stink. You smell like beef and cheese! You don't smell like Santa."
18. "You see, he was made out of Christmas snow and Christmas snow can never disappear completely. It sometimes goes away for almost a year at a time and takes the form of spring and summer rain. But you can bet your boots that when a good, jolly December wind kisses it, it will turn into Christmas snow all over again."
19. "Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to. Don't you see? It's not just Kris that's on trial, it's everything he stands for. It's kindness and joy and love and all the other intangibles."
20. "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?"

and I have seen the movie, too...(the Patrick Stewart version...and the Mickey Mouse version).
...and you're also correct that it's "The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come"
