2. You're traveling
through another dimension-
Copy !req
3. a dimension not only of sight
and sound, but of mind.
Copy !req
4. A journey into a wondrous land
Copy !req
5. whose boundaries
are that of imagination.
Copy !req
6. That's the signpost up ahead.
Copy !req
7. Your next stop,
the twilight zone.
Copy !req
8. I told you that santa claus
should be back by 6:00.
Copy !req
9. Come on,
mom, let's go.
Copy !req
10. Hey, you told me
to tell you when it was 6:30.
Copy !req
11. It's 6:30.
Copy !req
12. That's right.
Copy !req
13. It's exactly 6:30.
Copy !req
14. So...
Copy !req
15. so what happens now?
Copy !req
16. You turn into a reindeer?
Copy !req
17. Would that I could.
Copy !req
18. I'll have
another one.
Copy !req
19. You owe me for six
drinks and a sandwich.
Copy !req
20. That's $3.80.
Copy !req
21. Why do you suppose there
isn't really a santa claus?
Copy !req
22. How's that?
Copy !req
23. Why isn't there a real santa
claus... for kids like that?
Copy !req
24. What am I supposed to be-
some kind of philosopher?
Copy !req
25. You know
what your trouble is?
Copy !req
26. You let that dopey
red suit go to your head.
Copy !req
27. Are you some kind of a nut?
Copy !req
28. Here's your change.
Copy !req
29. I'll flip you-
double or nothing.
Copy !req
30. What do you think this is,
monte carlo?
Copy !req
31. Finish and get out.
Copy !req
32. I've had enough...
to eat.
Copy !req
33. Hello, jack's place.
Copy !req
34. No, jack's not here.
Copy !req
35. This is bruce.
Copy !req
36. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
37. Santa claus, I catch
you trying that
Copy !req
38. one more time
Copy !req
39. I'm going to break
both your arms
Copy !req
40. up to the
shoulder blades.
Copy !req
41. Now, go on,
get out of here.
Copy !req
42. What's that?
Copy !req
43. No, it's just santa claus
trying to heist the joint.
Copy !req
44. Thanks a lot, bruce.
Copy !req
45. Please, santa
Copy !req
46. I want a carriage
and a dolly...
Copy !req
47. please,
I want a gun...
Copy !req
48. and a playhouse...
Copy !req
49. and a set
of soldiers
Copy !req
50. and a fort...
Copy !req
51. and oh, please,
santa claus
Copy !req
52. a job
for my daddy.
Copy !req
53. Please,
a big turkey
Copy !req
54. for our christmas dinner.
Copy !req
55. This is mr. Henry corwin,
normally unemployed
Copy !req
56. who once a year takes
the lead role
Copy !req
57. in the uniquely popular
american institution
Copy !req
58. that of
a department store santa claus
Copy !req
59. in a road company version of
the night before christmas
Copy !req
60. but in just a moment, mr. Henry
corwin, ersatz santa claus
Copy !req
61. will enter a strange kind
of north pole
Copy !req
62. which is one part
the wondrous spirit of christmas
Copy !req
63. and one part the magic
that can only be found
Copy !req
64. in the twilight zone.
Copy !req
65. You should see me
with erector sets.
Copy !req
66. Corwin, you're an hour late!
Copy !req
67. I am?
Copy !req
68. Now, you get up
on your throne
Copy !req
69. and see if you can keep from
disillusioning a lot of kids
Copy !req
70. that not only isn't
there a santa claus
Copy !req
71. but the one in this store
happens to be a wino
Copy !req
72. who'd be more at home playing
rudolph the red-nosed reindeer.
Copy !req
73. Now, get with it,
santa claus!
Copy !req
74. You go ahead.
Copy !req
75. You climb up
on his lap.
Copy !req
76. Go ahead, he
won't hurt you
Copy !req
77. will you,
santa claus?
Copy !req
78. You won't hurt
my little boy.
Copy !req
79. Go on, tell him!
Copy !req
80. What's
your name?
Copy !req
81. Percival smithers.
Copy !req
82. And what do you want
for christmas, percival?
Copy !req
83. A new front name.
Copy !req
84. Percy!
Copy !req
85. I think
we have...
Copy !req
86. look, mom!
Copy !req
87. Santa claus
is loaded.
Copy !req
88. You've got
some nerve!
Copy !req
89. You ought
to be ashamed.
Copy !req
90. Madam...
I am ashamed.
Copy !req
91. Come on,
percival.
Copy !req
92. I hope this
won't be
Copy !req
93. a traumatic
experience for you.
Copy !req
94. Sot!
Copy !req
95. Is there some
trouble here?
Copy !req
96. Yes, there's
some trouble.
Copy !req
97. I shall never trade
in this store again.
Copy !req
98. It seems you hire
your santa clauses
Copy !req
99. out of a gutter.
Copy !req
100. All right,
back to work.
Copy !req
101. Back to your
positions, please.
Copy !req
102. And now, mr. Kris kringle
of the lower depths
Copy !req
103. since it is only a few hours
to closing time
Copy !req
104. it is my distinct
pleasure to tell you
Copy !req
105. that there is no more
need for your services.
Copy !req
106. You have had it!
Copy !req
107. Now, get out here!
Copy !req
108. I'd be very glad to.
Copy !req
109. And get that crummy
red suit back
Copy !req
110. to wherever you
rented it from
Copy !req
111. before you really tie
one on and destroy it.
Copy !req
112. You drunk!
Copy !req
113. Thank you very much,
mr. Dundee.
Copy !req
114. As to my drinking,
this is indefensible
Copy !req
115. and you have
my abject apologies.
Copy !req
116. I find of late that I
have very little choice
Copy !req
117. in the matter of
expressing emotions.
Copy !req
118. I can either drink
or I can weep
Copy !req
119. and drinking is
so much more subtle.
Copy !req
120. Will you please leave?
Copy !req
121. As for my
insubordination
Copy !req
122. I was not rude
Copy !req
123. to that woman.
Copy !req
124. Someone should remind her
that christmas
Copy !req
125. is more than barging up
and down department store aisles
Copy !req
126. and pushing people
out of the way.
Copy !req
127. Now, corwin...
Copy !req
128. someone has
to tell her
Copy !req
129. that christmas is another thing,
finer than that...
Copy !req
130. richer, finer, truer
Copy !req
131. and it should come with patience
and love, charity, compassion.
Copy !req
132. That's what
I would have told her
Copy !req
133. if you'd given me the chance.
Copy !req
134. Well, how
philosophical
Copy !req
135. mr. Corwin.
Copy !req
136. Now, perhaps
as your parting word
Copy !req
137. you can tell us
how we can go about
Copy !req
138. living up to these
wondrous yule standards
Copy !req
139. which you have
so graciously
Copy !req
140. laid down for us.
Copy !req
141. I don't know
Copy !req
142. how to tell you, mr. Dundee.
Copy !req
143. I don't know at all.
Copy !req
144. All I know is
Copy !req
145. that I'm an aging,
purposeless relic
Copy !req
146. of another time
Copy !req
147. and I live in a
dirty rooming house
Copy !req
148. on a street
Copy !req
149. filled with hungry
kids and shabby people
Copy !req
150. where the only thing
Copy !req
151. that comes
down the chimney
Copy !req
152. on christmas eve
Copy !req
153. is more poverty.
Copy !req
154. Will you keep your voice down?
Copy !req
155. Do you know
another reason
Copy !req
156. why I drink,
mr. Dundee?
Copy !req
157. So that when I walk
down the tenements
Copy !req
158. I can really think
it's the north pole
Copy !req
159. and the children are elves
and that I'm really santa claus
Copy !req
160. bringing them
a bag of wondrous gifts
Copy !req
161. for all of them.
Copy !req
162. I just wish, mr. Dundee,
on one christmas-
Copy !req
163. only one...
Copy !req
164. that I could see
some of the hopeless ones...
Copy !req
165. and the dreamless ones...
Copy !req
166. just on one christmas
Copy !req
167. I'd like to see the meek
Copy !req
168. inherit the earth.
Copy !req
169. And that's why I drink,
mr. Dundee...
Copy !req
170. and that's why I weep.
Copy !req
171. George, you want
another drink?
Copy !req
172. Hey, look.
It's santa claus!
Copy !req
173. Look, there's
santa claus.
Copy !req
174. Come on in.
Copy !req
175. Nah, nah.
Go on, get lost.
Copy !req
176. Get out of here.
Copy !req
177. Merry christmas.
Copy !req
178. Santa's a lush.
Copy !req
179. Hey, everybody!
Copy !req
180. Hey, kids!
Copy !req
181. Merry christmas, everybody!
Copy !req
182. Hey, kids! Everybody!
Copy !req
183. Merry christmas!
Copy !req
184. Merry christmas, everybody!
Copy !req
185. Merry christmas!
Copy !req
186. What is going on here?
Copy !req
187. What's the idea of coming
in here and disrupting
Copy !req
188. the christmas
eve service?
Copy !req
189. Sister florence, I
ain't touched a drop
Copy !req
190. since last thursday and
that's the gospel truth.
Copy !req
191. And I swear to you
Copy !req
192. on account of I've seen
it with my own eyes-
Copy !req
193. santa claus is coming down
the street heading this way
Copy !req
194. and bringing everybody
his heart's desire.
Copy !req
195. There's a real,
honest-to-goodness santa...
Copy !req
196. merry christmas,
gentlemen.
Copy !req
197. Now, what'll be
your pleasure
Copy !req
198. for christmas,
gentlemen?
Copy !req
199. How about you, burt?
Copy !req
200. I fancy a new pipe.
Copy !req
201. Let's see what
I can do for you.
Copy !req
202. Here's your
new pipe.
Copy !req
203. How about you?
Copy !req
204. I want a sweater.
Copy !req
205. A sweater-
what size?
Copy !req
206. Who cares
what size?
Copy !req
207. Oh, thank you.
Copy !req
208. Could I have
a smoking jacket?
Copy !req
209. A smoking jacket
to go with the pipe.
Copy !req
210. I'll see
what I can get.
Copy !req
211. There's your
smoking jacket.
Copy !req
212. Where did you get
all these gifts?
Copy !req
213. Sister florence
Copy !req
214. don't ask me to explain.
Copy !req
215. I'm just as much in the dark
as anybody else.
Copy !req
216. All I know is I've got
a santa claus bag here
Copy !req
217. that gives everybody
Copy !req
218. exactly what they
want for christmas
Copy !req
219. and as long
as it's putting out
Copy !req
220. I'm putting in.
Copy !req
221. Sister florence,
how about a new dress?
Copy !req
222. Give that to
sister florence
Copy !req
223. when she
comes back.
Copy !req
224. Thank you.
Copy !req
225. A bottle of wine.
Copy !req
226. Merry christmas, officer,
merry christmas.
Copy !req
227. What's your name?
Copy !req
228. Henry corwin...
or is it?
Copy !req
229. Maybe it's santa claus or
kris kringle- I don't know.
Copy !req
230. You're drunk, corwin.
Is that it?
Copy !req
231. Of course
I'm drunk.
Copy !req
232. I'm intoxicated
with the spirit of the yule.
Copy !req
233. Drunk with the spirit
of the yule.
Copy !req
234. Intoxicated with the magic and
wonder that is christmas eve.
Copy !req
235. I'm inebriated
with joy and delight.
Copy !req
236. Yes, officer, I'm drunk.
Copy !req
237. We'll settle this
in a hurry.
Copy !req
238. Have you got a receipt
for this stuff?
Copy !req
239. Receipt?
Copy !req
240. Of course you've
got a receipt.
Copy !req
241. No.
Copy !req
242. Sister florence
Copy !req
243. would you please collect
all the stolen goods
Copy !req
244. and put them
in a pile over there?
Copy !req
245. I'll send for them
Copy !req
246. when I check on
who owns them.
Copy !req
247. Come on, santa.
Copy !req
248. Be right with you,
officer.
Copy !req
249. Don't worry about
a thing, gentlemen.
Copy !req
250. There's more
where this came from.
Copy !req
251. Officer, let me tell you
how this whole thing started.
Copy !req
252. I was having a glass
down at jack's place.
Copy !req
253. It was just about 4:30 in the
afternoon when I got there.
Copy !req
254. Like I said,
officer
Copy !req
255. I arrived at jack's
place about 4:30-
Copy !req
256. between 4:30 and 5:00,
the cocktail hour.
Copy !req
257. Jack wasn't there
but bruce was.
Copy !req
258. I know bruce, yes.
Copy !req
259. Right here.
Copy !req
260. After you.
Copy !req
261. I had a sandwich
Copy !req
262. that I couldn't
finish
Copy !req
263. and I got
to talking...
Copy !req
264. uh-huh, here he is and
here we are and there that is.
Copy !req
265. And here
you are.
Copy !req
266. How nice to see you
again, mr. Dundee.
Copy !req
267. And how nice it will be
Copy !req
268. to see my wistful saint nicholas
going up the river.
Copy !req
269. Do you suppose he can get
as much ten years?
Copy !req
270. Ten years?
Copy !req
271. Well, it don't
look good, corwin.
Copy !req
272. Of course, they could
lop off a few months
Copy !req
273. if you was to tell them
where the rest of the loot was.
Copy !req
274. He's been giving out the stuff
for two and half hours.
Copy !req
275. He must have
a warehouse full of it.
Copy !req
276. I'm glad you
brought that up.
Copy !req
277. There seems
to be
Copy !req
278. a slight
discrepancy here.
Copy !req
279. Listen, you moth-eaten
robin hood
Copy !req
280. the wholesale theft of thousands
of dollars worth of goods
Copy !req
281. is not a
slight discrepancy.
Copy !req
282. Though I can tell you
right now, corwin
Copy !req
283. this whole affair comes
as no surprise to me.
Copy !req
284. I'd perceived that criminal
glint in your eyes
Copy !req
285. the first minute
I'd laid eyes on you.
Copy !req
286. It seems to me
Copy !req
287. that you've
put your finger
Copy !req
288. on the problem,
mr. Dundee.
Copy !req
289. This bag
doesn't know
Copy !req
290. whether to give out
gifts or garbage.
Copy !req
291. It was giving out gifts
when I seen it.
Copy !req
292. Whatever they was wanting
corwin was supplying.
Copy !req
293. All kinds of stuff-
toys, gifts, expensive stuff.
Copy !req
294. Admit it, corwin.
Copy !req
295. Oh, I admit it, I admit it.
Copy !req
296. But it seems to me
the essence of our problem is
Copy !req
297. that we're dealing
with a most unusual bag.
Copy !req
298. My advice to you is to clean up
this mess and get out here.
Copy !req
299. Officer flaherty, you
call yourself a policeman.
Copy !req
300. Well, I suppose it
is a demanding task-
Copy !req
301. to distinguish between
a bag full of garbage
Copy !req
302. and an inventory of
expensive stolen gifts.
Copy !req
303. Mr. Dundee, believe me.
Copy !req
304. It's like corwin says:
Copy !req
305. We're dealing with
the supernatural here.
Copy !req
306. In other words
Copy !req
307. all we have to do
is to ask mr. Corwin
Copy !req
308. to make a little
abracadabra for us
Copy !req
309. and no sooner
said, done.
Copy !req
310. Well, go ahead,
corwin.
Copy !req
311. I fancy a bottle
of cherry brandy
Copy !req
312. vintage 1903.
Copy !req
313. Oh, that's a good year.
Copy !req
314. And as for you,
officer flaherty
Copy !req
315. how dare you
drag me down here
Copy !req
316. at the busiest time
of the year
Copy !req
317. to look at a bag
full of garbage?
Copy !req
318. Mr. Dundee...
Copy !req
319. pardon me,
gentlemen.
Copy !req
320. Merry christmas
to both of you!
Copy !req
321. "To mr. Dundee,
from santa."
Copy !req
322. Here, mr, dundee.
Copy !req
323. You need one.
Copy !req
324. Here's beautiful
yellow sweater for you.
Copy !req
325. I want a toy.
Copy !req
326. I've got a beautiful
toy for you.
Copy !req
327. I want an electric
train engine.
Copy !req
328. Electric train engine?
Diesel or steam?
Copy !req
329. I don't care.
Copy !req
330. There it is.
Copy !req
331. I want
a dolly.
Copy !req
332. You want a dolly.
Copy !req
333. A blonde, brunette...
Copy !req
334. blonde!
Copy !req
335. Here she is.
Copy !req
336. I want a
toy, please.
Copy !req
337. Oh, I've got one
here for you.
Copy !req
338. Right there, sweetheart.
Copy !req
339. I've got a
baseball bat for you
Copy !req
340. and a toy dog for you.
Copy !req
341. Thanks.
Copy !req
342. And a baseball mitt.
Copy !req
343. Merry christmas to all!
Copy !req
344. Nothing for you
this christmas?
Copy !req
345. I think I've had
the nicest christmas
Copy !req
346. since the beginning
of time.
Copy !req
347. Nothing for you.
Copy !req
348. Nothing for yourself,
not a thing.
Copy !req
349. You know, I... I can't think
of anything I want.
Copy !req
350. I guess what
I've really wanted is...
Copy !req
351. to be the biggest gift giver
of all times
Copy !req
352. and in a way
Copy !req
353. I think I had that tonight.
Copy !req
354. Although, if I had my choice
of any gift- any gift at all-
Copy !req
355. I think I'd wish
I could do this every year.
Copy !req
356. That'd be
some gift
Copy !req
357. wouldn't it,
burt?
Copy !req
358. Oh, it sure would.
Copy !req
359. God bless
you, burt
Copy !req
360. and merry christmas
to you.
Copy !req
361. Merry christmas
to you, too, santa
Copy !req
362. and thanks for the smoking
jacket and the pipe.
Copy !req
363. Don't mention it.
Copy !req
364. We've been waiting
quite a while
Copy !req
365. for you, santa claus.
Copy !req
366. Oh, no.
Copy !req
367. Did you hear
what I said?
Copy !req
368. I said we've been
waiting quite a while
Copy !req
369. for you, santa claus.
Copy !req
370. We've got a year of
hard work ahead of us
Copy !req
371. to get ready
for next christmas.
Copy !req
372. Come on.
Copy !req
373. Are you ready?
Copy !req
374. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
375. Going home,
officer flaherty?
Copy !req
376. Going home, mr.
Dundee, and you?
Copy !req
377. Going home,
officer flaherty.
Copy !req
378. This is the most
remarkable christmas eve
Copy !req
379. I've ever had.
Copy !req
380. Flaherty...
Copy !req
381. I could have
sworn that I...
Copy !req
382. did you see it?
Copy !req
383. I thought I did.
Copy !req
384. What did you see?
Copy !req
385. I don't think
I ought to tell you.
Copy !req
386. You might report me
for drinking on duty.
Copy !req
387. Go ahead,
what did you see?
Copy !req
388. It was corwin,
mr. Dundee
Copy !req
389. big as life in a
sleigh with reindeer
Copy !req
390. sitting next to an elf
Copy !req
391. and riding up
toward the sky.
Copy !req
392. That's about
the size of it
Copy !req
393. ain't it,
mr. Dundee?
Copy !req
394. Flaherty, you better
come home with me
Copy !req
395. and we'll pour out
some hot coffee
Copy !req
396. and we'll pour
some brandy in it
Copy !req
397. and we'll...
