1. Christmas...
Copy !req
2. The time of year when the chill in the air
Copy !req
3. brings out the warmth in your heart.
Copy !req
4. But what happens when Christmas spirit
Copy !req
5. meets 140 degrees outside?
Copy !req
6. Bugs, Christmas is almost here.
Are you excited?
Copy !req
7. Not really.
It's December
Copy !req
8. and it's 100 degrees out here.
Copy !req
9. What are you saying?
Copy !req
10. It's too hot for Christmas.
Copy !req
11. Too hot for Christmas?
Copy !req
12. How can you say such a thing?
Copy !req
13. I feel woozy.
Copy !req
14. Oh! Like
I'm gonna faint.
Copy !req
15. That's because you're wearing a parka.
Copy !req
16. Huh? Oh.
Copy !req
17. Oh, yeah.
That's much better.
Copy !req
18. What were we talking about again?
Copy !req
19. Not doing Christmas this year.
Copy !req
20. Ohh!
Copy !req
21. And with no relief in sight
for this heat wave,
Copy !req
22. it certainly doesn't
feel like Christmas.
Copy !req
23. A year ago today, this was main street,
Copy !req
24. and this is how it looks now.
Copy !req
25. I thought selling Christmas trees
would be the perfect job.
Copy !req
26. You make your money and you only
gotta work a couple of weeks a year.
Copy !req
27. But it's so darned hot,
no one's buying 'em,
Copy !req
28. and now they're all dried up.
Copy !req
29. Aah! Fire!
Copy !req
30. Fire! Aah!
Copy !req
31. Looks like this Christmas is
gonna be anything but merry.
Copy !req
32. What is wrong with everyone?
Copy !req
33. A little heat and we all
just give up on Christmas?
Copy !req
34. Hey, well, not me.
Copy !req
35. I'm gonna do something about it.
Copy !req
36. I... I'm gonna go out there
and I'm gonna...
Copy !req
37. I'm gonna...
Copy !req
38. Put on a show.
Copy !req
39. A show that captures the
true meaning of Christmas.
Copy !req
40. Like "A Christmas Carol"?
Copy !req
41. Ohh.
I was thinking "Cats."
Copy !req
42. What's "A Christmas Carol"?
Copy !req
43. "A Christmas Carol."
Charles Dickens.
Copy !req
44. Scrooge? Tiny Tim?
Copy !req
45. Bah, humbug?
Copy !req
46. Here. It's the world's
most famous Christmas story.
Copy !req
47. Oh! Thanks, bun-bun.
Copy !req
48. Mwah. I'm off
to save Christmas.
Copy !req
49. I mean, Charles Dickens and I
are off to save Christmas.
Copy !req
50. Man, it's hot out here.
Copy !req
51. Ohh!
Copy !req
52. - What are you doing?
- Making room.
Copy !req
53. For what? I don't want
to cook a turkey this year.
Copy !req
54. It's too hot.
Copy !req
55. I'm making room
for a duck, not a turkey.
Copy !req
56. What are you? Insane?
You'll suffocate.
Copy !req
57. Well, it's better than being hot.
Copy !req
58. Plus, I've heard suffocating's
the most pleasant way to go.
Copy !req
59. Hmph.
Copy !req
60. Wait.
Copy !req
61. Or is it that suffocating's
the worst way to go?
Copy !req
62. I should probably do
a little research.
Copy !req
63. Hey, look.
It's your buddy.
Copy !req
64. In a related story,
Copy !req
65. eccentric billionaire foghorn leghorn
Copy !req
66. held a press conference today
Copy !req
67. and made a stunning announcement.
Copy !req
68. I've been... I say, I've been
hearin' a lot of whining
Copy !req
69. about how it's too hot to
celebrate Christmas this year.
Copy !req
70. But I'm here to announce that
I'm gonna do something...
Copy !req
71. I say, I'm gonna do something about it.
Copy !req
72. Ladies and gentlemen,
Copy !req
73. I give you the fan plan.
Copy !req
74. What is that?
Copy !req
75. It's a giant fan, boy,
Copy !req
76. and I'm gonna set it up
at the north pole
Copy !req
77. and blow some of that
cold air down here.
Copy !req
78. If I were you, I'd get your
sweaters out of the cedar closet,
Copy !req
79. 'cause I'm predicting...
Copy !req
80. I say, I'm predicting a white Christmas.
Copy !req
81. That is one crazy rooster.
Copy !req
82. I'm surprised you didn't get
roped into going with him.
Copy !req
83. Oh, I'm going.
Copy !req
84. Well, I'm off to the north pole.
Copy !req
85. Should I bring a jacket?
Copy !req
86. Nah, it's 1,000 degrees outside.
Copy !req
87. Bugs, your girlfriend fainted.
Copy !req
88. Thank you all for coming.
Copy !req
89. Of course, we're all here
for the same reason.
Copy !req
90. We care about the community.
Copy !req
91. We love Christmas.
Copy !req
92. And we love the theater.
Copy !req
93. And one of you is here because
I needed you to drive me
Copy !req
94. because my nail polish
wasn't dry yet.
Copy !req
95. So, thanks, Bugs.
Copy !req
96. Actually, I'm here 'cause I understand
this is an equity production.
Copy !req
97. As in, guaranteed money?
Copy !req
98. And I also love the theater.
Copy !req
99. Ok, "A Christmas Carol."
Copy !req
100. Now, just a little heads up
before you read the script.
Copy !req
101. I have made a few teeny, tiny changes.
Copy !req
102. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
103. I rewrote it.
Copy !req
104. You rewrote a beloved classic?
Copy !req
105. Eh, come on.
Who could belove a story
Copy !req
106. about a mean old
guy named scrooge
Copy !req
107. who hates Christmas?
Copy !req
108. I'm sorry, but that's
not gonna get anybody
Copy !req
109. in the holiday spirit.
Copy !req
110. Bugs, you're gonna play Santa.
Copy !req
111. Uh, Santa's not in
"A Christmas Carol."
Copy !req
112. Well, he's in this version.
Copy !req
113. Mac and Tosh, you'll play Santa's elves
Copy !req
114. Weevil and Beevil.
Copy !req
115. You can decide amongst
yourselves who's who.
Copy !req
116. I'll be Weevil.
Oh! Then, I'll be Beevil.
Copy !req
117. Do you want me to be Beevil?
Copy !req
118. Only if you don't
want to be Weevil.
Copy !req
119. I could easily see
myself as Beevil.
Copy !req
120. But I also think you would
make a fantastic Weevil.
Copy !req
121. Oh, no one cares.
Copy !req
122. We can't tell you apart, anyway.
Copy !req
123. Here. You're Weevil.
You're Beevil.
Copy !req
124. Now, who am I?
Copy !req
125. You are nightclub impresario Rick Evans.
Copy !req
126. And Speedy, you're Manu Ginobili.
Copy !req
127. The basketball player?
Copy !req
128. Now, Porky, you're gonna play
a very important part.
Copy !req
129. You will be playing
the role of Hambone.
Copy !req
130. Ooh.
What about my script?
Copy !req
131. Oh, Hambone doesn't talk.
Copy !req
132. He's a pet pig.
He oinks.
Copy !req
133. Well, I guess that's everyone.
Copy !req
134. Oh, no!
Copy !req
135. There's no one left to play Carol.
Copy !req
136. Who's Carol?
Copy !req
137. Carol?
"A Christmas Carol"?
Copy !req
138. The girl from the
title of the play.
Copy !req
139. Ecch.
Poor Charles Dickens.
Copy !req
140. Well, why don't you play Carol?
Copy !req
141. Me? Oh, no.
I'm just the writer.
Copy !req
142. I'm not an actor.
Copy !req
143. Besides, Carol has...
Copy !req
144. A British accent
that's essential to the role.
Copy !req
145. And I couldn't possibly capture
Copy !req
146. the many layers of Carol's
intricate personality.
Copy !req
147. The highs and the
lows of her journey,
Copy !req
148. her desperation, her fear,
her strength, her courage.
Copy !req
149. She's a temptress.
Copy !req
150. Ooh, but she's shy,
almost coquettish.
Copy !req
151. How could I capture
her volatility?
Copy !req
152. And she's so funny.
Copy !req
153. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Copy !req
154. Mm-hmm. You
have to be Weevil.
Copy !req
155. Spoken like a true Beevil.
Copy !req
156. If you think rewriting "A
Christmas Carol" is a bad idea,
Copy !req
157. heh, well, I believe
I can show you a worse one.
Copy !req
158. It's time to jump.
Copy !req
159. What?
Copy !req
160. We can't land a big ol' plane like this
on that ice.
Copy !req
161. Are you out of your mind?
Whoa!
Copy !req
162. There... I say,
there goes the fan.
Copy !req
163. Come on, boy.
Copy !req
164. Aah!
Copy !req
165. I say, "Aah!"
Copy !req
166. I don't know about you,
but I read the script.
Copy !req
167. It ain't worth the air conditioner.
Copy !req
168. Ok, everyone.
We're starting rehearsal.
Copy !req
169. We have got a town
full of people out there
Copy !req
170. who have lost the
Christmas spirit,
Copy !req
171. and I believe the only chance
we have of getting it back
Copy !req
172. is to put on a flawless production
Copy !req
173. of an almost unrecognizable version
Copy !req
174. of "A Christmas Carol."
Copy !req
175. Places, everyone.
Copy !req
176. Oh, Hambone, it looks like
Copy !req
177. it's just you and me this Christmas.
Copy !req
178. Oink.
Copy !req
179. Is that how you're going to do it?
Copy !req
180. Oink, oink?
Copy !req
181. Yeah, you're gonna need to work on that.
Copy !req
182. Meanwhile, at the north pole,
Copy !req
183. or about 70 miles South of there.
Copy !req
184. - I quit.
- What?
Copy !req
185. My sense of adventure
has been surpassed
Copy !req
186. by my sense of tiredness and
overall out-of-shapedness. Ugh.
Copy !req
187. You can't quit now.
You'll freeze to death.
Copy !req
188. Then, it's my time.
Copy !req
189. According to my research,
it's the most pleasant way to go.
Copy !req
190. You're just like the rest of 'em.
Copy !req
191. When the going gets tough,
you just give up.
Copy !req
192. Boo hoo! It's too hot
to celebrate Christmas.
Copy !req
193. Boo hoo! It's too cold
at the north pole.
Copy !req
194. Boo hoo! I'm too tired
to help a rooster
Copy !req
195. pull a 6,000-pound crate
70 miles
Copy !req
196. and build a giant fan.
Copy !req
197. Well, then, go ahead
and freeze, boy.
Copy !req
198. I'm not giving up on Christmas.
Copy !req
199. Unh!
Copy !req
200. But sometimes, even the coldest heart
Copy !req
201. can be warmed by the Christmas spirit.
Copy !req
202. I say, unh!
Copy !req
203. Huh?
Copy !req
204. Ah.
Copy !req
205. Are you Carol?
Copy !req
206. Yes. Who are you?
Copy !req
207. - We're Santa's elves.
- We're Santa's elves.
Copy !req
208. Santa Claus is missing.
Copy !req
209. You must come with
us to the north pole
Copy !req
210. and take his place.
Copy !req
211. But why me?
Copy !req
212. Because you are his daughter.
Copy !req
213. Santa Claus is my father?
Copy !req
214. That answers so many questions,
Copy !req
215. yet, raises so many
additional questions.
Copy !req
216. I know what I must do.
Copy !req
217. It is crystal clear to me.
Copy !req
218. I have to...
Copy !req
219. Line?
Copy !req
220. I have to go with you to the north pole.
Copy !req
221. I have to go with you
to the... line?
Copy !req
222. To the north pole.
Copy !req
223. Oh, yeah. I have to go
with you to the north...
Copy !req
224. Pole.
Copy !req
225. I didn't say "line".
Copy !req
226. I know my line. Sheesh.
Copy !req
227. Line?
Copy !req
228. We're there!
Copy !req
229. I say, we're there!
We're at the north pole.
Copy !req
230. Whoohoo! We made it.
Copy !req
231. - Ahh!
- Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
232. I always knew we'd make it.
Copy !req
233. Except for that one time I
laid down in the snow to die.
Copy !req
234. But all the rest of the time,
I knew we'd make it.
Copy !req
235. Well, not that one time
when I tried to kill you
Copy !req
236. so that I could climb inside
your carcass for warmth,
Copy !req
237. but then realized how
hard it would be
Copy !req
238. to clean out your carcass,
so, instead, I just laid down
Copy !req
239. for a second time
in the snow to die.
Copy !req
240. But every other time,
I always knew we would make it.
Copy !req
241. Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
242. Yeah! Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
243. That's all it do it.
Copy !req
244. But even the best laid plans
Copy !req
245. of ducks and roosters
often go awry.
Copy !req
246. Hmm. I say, "Hmm."
Copy !req
247. What?
Copy !req
248. Where are we gonna plug it in?
Copy !req
249. Plug it in?
We have to plug it in?
Copy !req
250. We're in the middle of nowhere.
Copy !req
251. You didn't think about this
before we left?
Copy !req
252. Why do I keep getting involved with you?
Copy !req
253. It's that limo.
Copy !req
254. I keep getting tricked
by that limo.
Copy !req
255. Wwsd. Wwsd.
Copy !req
256. What are you muttering?
Copy !req
257. Wwsd.
What would Santa do?
Copy !req
258. It's something I ask myself
when I need guidance.
Copy !req
259. That's it!
Copy !req
260. What?
Copy !req
261. We'll plug it in.
Copy !req
262. I say, we'll plug it in
in Santa's workshop.
Copy !req
263. It's gotta be around here somewhere.
Copy !req
264. So, you want us to just
wander around the north pole
Copy !req
265. hoping to bump into Santa Claus?
Copy !req
266. What's the worst that could happen?
Copy !req
267. Now, it's Christmas Eve.
Copy !req
268. Carol and the gang have gathered
to confront Rick Evans.
Copy !req
269. Welcome to the bungalow room.
Copy !req
270. I.D., please.
Copy !req
271. Where is Santa Claus?
Copy !req
272. How should I know?
Copy !req
273. I'm an innocent nightclub owner.
Copy !req
274. Well, if Rick Evans didn't
kidnap Santa, then... line.
Copy !req
275. Then where is he?
Copy !req
276. Wow, do you have the whole,
entire play memorized?
Copy !req
277. Unfortunately.
Copy !req
278. Well, if Rick Evans didn't
kidnap Santa, then where is he?
Copy !req
279. Ho ho ho.
Copy !req
280. Santa!
Copy !req
281. Where have you been?
Copy !req
282. We were so worried about you.
Copy !req
283. I must have lost track of time.
Copy !req
284. I guess I know what I should
give myself for Christmas.
Copy !req
285. A watch.
Copy !req
286. Oh, ha ha ha! Santa.
Copy !req
287. I mean dad.
Copy !req
288. The end.
Copy !req
289. Oh, you guys, I'm so excited.
Copy !req
290. This is gonna be the best version
of "A Christmas Carol" ever.
Copy !req
291. Is it just me, or is this play bad?
Copy !req
292. Like, really, really bad?
Copy !req
293. We have to take cover, boy.
Copy !req
294. I think I see it.
Copy !req
295. Santa's workshop.
Copy !req
296. No, you've got hypothermia.
Copy !req
297. You're hallucinating.
I say, you're hallucinating.
Copy !req
298. I'm coming, Santa.
Copy !req
299. Ahh.
Copy !req
300. Looking for some place
to plug that in?
Copy !req
301. Santa?
Copy !req
302. You look cold.
Copy !req
303. Why don't you take a
seat by the fire?
Copy !req
304. You're so snuggly, Santa.
Copy !req
305. So, you're saying you installed
the giant fan at the north pole
Copy !req
306. and that any minute, it's gonna
start blowing in winter weather?
Copy !req
307. I'm not the kind of rooster
Copy !req
308. to say I told you so,
but I told you so.
Copy !req
309. How'd you do it?
Copy !req
310. We had a little help.
Copy !req
311. You probably know him
as father Christmas,
Copy !req
312. Saint Nick, the captain.
Copy !req
313. But I call him Santa Claus.
Copy !req
314. And I've got him on tape.
Copy !req
315. Santa?
Copy !req
316. You're so snuggly, Santa.
Copy !req
317. I sat on the lap of a polar bear?
Copy !req
318. I told you you was hallucinating.
Copy !req
319. Then I guess I didn't
plug the fan in, either.
Copy !req
320. I'll make the next one
battery-operated.
Copy !req
321. Next one?
Copy !req
322. This is it.
Copy !req
323. We did it.
Copy !req
324. It's Christmas Eve
and we have a packed house.
Copy !req
325. 'Cause of the air conditioner.
Copy !req
326. I just want to thank you all
for your hard work and dedication,
Copy !req
327. which I believe is the
true meaning of Christmas.
Copy !req
328. Group hug.
Copy !req
329. Hoo hoo hoo!
Copy !req
330. Oh, this seems like a good time
Copy !req
331. to tell everyone about
the trap door I put in.
Copy !req
332. Trust me. It will make our entrances
and exits much more dramatic.
Copy !req
333. How do we get out?
Copy !req
334. We're gonna suffocate.
Copy !req
335. Ooh, I've heard that's
the most pleasant way to go.
Copy !req
336. I've heard that, too.
Copy !req
337. But it's not gonna come to that.
Copy !req
338. Bugs will get us out.
Copy !req
339. Bugs! Bugs!
Copy !req
340. Hello?
Copy !req
341. We're down here.
Copy !req
342. Lola?
Copy !req
343. Bugs, we fell through my
trap door and we're stuck.
Copy !req
344. Trap door?
Copy !req
345. How does it open?
Copy !req
346. Yeah, I don't know.
Copy !req
347. I think I might have focused
too much on the trap part
Copy !req
348. and not enough on the door part.
Copy !req
349. It won't budge.
Copy !req
350. What are we going to do?
Copy !req
351. The play starts in one minute.
Copy !req
352. You'll have to tell everyone
the play is cancelled.
Copy !req
353. But you've worked so hard.
Copy !req
354. Well, there's nothing else we can do.
Copy !req
355. And at that moment,
Bugs Bunny found the Christmas spirit.
Copy !req
356. Too bad he didn't
also find a better script.
Copy !req
357. Oh, Hambone. It looks like
Copy !req
358. it's just you and me this Christmas.
Copy !req
359. Ha ha ha! Hambone.
Copy !req
360. You're such a funny pig.
Copy !req
361. Ha ha ha!
Copy !req
362. Hey, look.
"A Christmas Carol."
Copy !req
363. That's... I say, that's one
of my favorite plays.
Copy !req
364. Never heard of it.
Copy !req
365. Where is Santa Claus?
Copy !req
366. Well, how should I know?
Copy !req
367. I'm an innocent nightclub owner.
Copy !req
368. Well, if Rick
Evans didn't kidnap Santa,
Copy !req
369. then where is he?
Copy !req
370. No!
Copy !req
371. Bugs, you weren't supposed
to use the trap door.
Copy !req
372. Really?
Copy !req
373. Now what are we gonna do?
Copy !req
374. There's no ending.
Copy !req
375. Ho ho ho!
Copy !req
376. Santa?
Copy !req
377. I know what you're all thinking.
Copy !req
378. This is the worst Christmas
play you've ever seen.
Copy !req
379. And I can't say I disagree.
Copy !req
380. But it took a lot of effort
to put on a play this bad,
Copy !req
381. and if there's one thing
that's worth the effort,
Copy !req
382. it's Christmas.
Copy !req
383. Look, I know it's a lot of work,
Copy !req
384. tying the tree to the top of your car
and then dragging it inside.
Copy !req
385. Pine needles going everywhere.
Copy !req
386. Packing up the car and driving
6 hours to grandma's house.
Copy !req
387. But these are the things
that bring us all together.
Copy !req
388. Even this utterly unrecognizable version
of "A Christmas Carol."
Copy !req
389. I mean, look around you.
