“Clarence! Clarence! (He clasps his hands in prayer.) Help me, Clarence! Get me back! Get me back, I don’t care what happens to me. Get me back to my wife and kids. Help me, Clarence, please. Please. I want to live again. (He cries.) I want to live again. Please God, let me live again. (Bert the policeman arrives and George realizes his prayer has been answered.) Merry Christmas! Mary! Mary! Yay! Yay! Hello Bedford Falls! (He runs, hysterical and exuberant, through the middle of town.) Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas, movie house! Merry Christmas, emporium! Merry Christmas, you wonderful old Building and Loan! Hey! Merry Christmas, Mr. Potter!”
