I have two:
- Scrooge asks for more bread in the pub and when the waiter tells him it'll cost a nominal amount, he says "no more bread". He's even too stingy to pay for more effin bread.
- Scrooge and Marley, both looking like cats that swallowed canaries, leaning back in satisfaction as they gain 51% of the company. They knew about the theft and just waited for the right time for the whole thing to blow up so they could step in and reap the benefit. I know this scene isn't in the book, but it serves its purpose.

Those are both terrific. The first shows the depth of his character even depriving himself of a penny's worth of bread. And the second: Marley and Scrooge sitting there super calm. I can see the director guiding them to play it very sedate. Because of that the scene
really
stands out for me. It's so different from just about every other scene Scrooge played with his emotions either angry or disgusted or whatever.
But my absolute favorite scene - in fact one of my favorite scenes in all moviedom - is when Scrooge wakes up on Christmas morning and is all giddy and frightens Mrs Dilber. They both play it perfectly. These two actors make magic together.
