1. Oh, hello.
Copy !req
2. You're, uh, you're probably here
Copy !req
3. About the, Uh, the story.
Copy !req
4. Elves love to tell stories.
Copy !req
5. I-I'll bet you didn't know that
about elves.
Copy !req
6. There's, uh, probably a lot of things
Copy !req
7. You... you didn't know about elves.
Copy !req
8. Another... another interesting
Uh, elf ism
Copy !req
9. Uh, there are only three jobs available
to an elf.
Copy !req
10. The first is making shoes at night
Copy !req
11. While, you know, while the old...
Copy !req
12. The old cobbler sleeps.
Copy !req
13. Lazy bum. Couldn't even make a clog.
Copy !req
14. You can bake cookies
Copy !req
15. In a tree. Hey!
Copy !req
16. As you can imagine, it's, uh, dangerous
Having an oven
Copy !req
17. In an oak tree during the dry season.
Copy !req
18. Screaming I wanna make shoes!
Copy !req
19. But the third job... uh, some call
It, uh,
Copy !req
20. "The show," or... or "the big dance,"
Copy !req
21. It's the profession that every elf
Aspires to,
Copy !req
22. And that is to build toys in
Santa's workshop.
Copy !req
23. Only two weeks left till Christmas!
Copy !req
24. I-it's a job only an elf can do.
Copy !req
25. Our... our nimble fingers,
Copy !req
26. Natural cheer and active minds
Copy !req
27. Are perfect for toy-building.
Copy !req
28. They... they tried using gnomes
And trolls,
Copy !req
29. But the gnomes drank too much...
Copy !req
30. and the trolls weren't toilet
trained.
Copy !req
31. No human being has ever set... set
foot in Santa's workshop.
Copy !req
32. Uh, that is until about 30 years ago,
Copy !req
33. And, as you may have guessed,
Copy !req
34. That's where our story begins.
Copy !req
35. Wow!
Copy !req
36. Whoa!
Copy !req
37. Ooh!
Copy !req
38. Wow!
Copy !req
39. Wow!
Copy !req
40. Humming
Copy !req
41. Ow! Ow!
Copy !req
42. Whoa!
Copy !req
43. Are you sleepy?
Copy !req
44. Here we are.
Copy !req
45. We're just going to make you feel
so comfortable.
Copy !req
46. Here we are.
Copy !req
47. There you are.
Copy !req
48. It's time to go to sleep.
Copy !req
49. Maybe by next Christmas you'll
Have a home.
Copy !req
50. Merry Christmas, my angel.
Copy !req
51. Creaking
Copy !req
52. Mmm...
Copy !req
53. Bars clang
Copy !req
54. Cheering music playing
Copy !req
55. All right, all right.
Copy !req
56. We've had another very successful
year.
Copy !req
57. Cheering
Copy !req
58. So, after all that hard work,
Copy !req
59. It's time to start preparations
Copy !req
60. For next Christmas!
Copy !req
61. Cheering
Copy !req
62. What in the name of Sam hill
Is that?
Copy !req
63. Wow...
Copy !req
64. Male elf: A baby...
Copy !req
65. "little buddy diapers."
Copy !req
66. His name is buddy. He must've...
Copy !req
67. Snuck into your sack at the
orphanage.
Copy !req
68. What do we do?
Copy !req
69. Papa elf: So, Santa had a
Decision to make,
Copy !req
70. And fortunately, when it
Comes to babies,
Copy !req
71. Santa's a... a pushover.
Copy !req
72. So, buddy stayed with, uh
An older elf
Copy !req
73. Who had always wanted a child?
Copy !req
74. But had been so committed to
Building toys, he...
Copy !req
75. He, well, had forgotten to
Settle down.
Copy !req
76. Santa.
Copy !req
77. Yes, yes, I... I raised buddy.
Copy !req
78. I was his adopted father.
Copy !req
79. Though buddy grew twice as fast,
Copy !req
80. He... he wasn't any different from
the other children.
Copy !req
81. Chuckles not too fast, buddy.
Copy !req
82. I mean, not... not really.
Copy !req
83. Before we learn how to build
The latest
Copy !req
84. In extreme graphic chipset
Processors,
Copy !req
85. Let's recite the
"Code of the elves,"
Copy !req
86. Shall we?
Copy !req
87. Number one.
Copy !req
88. "Treat every day like Christmas."
Copy !req
89. Number two.
Copy !req
90. "There's room for everyone on the
Nice list."
Copy !req
91. Number three.
Copy !req
92. "The best way to spread Christmas
Cheer
Copy !req
93. Is singing loud for all to hear."
Copy !req
94. And one day, when buddy was
old enough,
Copy !req
95. I made him my own personal
apprentice.
Copy !req
96. I've never been in this room
before.
Copy !req
97. Well, I think it's time you start
Copy !req
98. Your tinker training.
Copy !req
99. Gasps Santa's sleigh.
Copy !req
100. You're gonna help me make it fly.
Copy !req
101. I thought the magical reindeer made
The sleighs fly.
Copy !req
102. And where do the reindeer get
their magic from?
Copy !req
103. Christmas spirit. Everybody
knows that.
Copy !req
104. Well, silly as it sounds,
Copy !req
105. A lot of people down south
Copy !req
106. Don't believe in Santa Claus.
Copy !req
107. What?
Copy !req
108. Well, who do they think puts all?
their toys under the tree?
Copy !req
109. Well, there's a rumor floating around
Copy !req
110. That, uh, that the parents do it.
Copy !req
111. That's... that's ridiculous.
Copy !req
112. I mean, parents couldn't do that
all in one night.
Copy !req
113. What about Santa's cookies?
Copy !req
114. I suppose parents eat them, too?
Copy !req
115. Yeah, I, uh, I... I know,
Copy !req
116. Uh, and every earless and less
People
Copy !req
117. Believe in Santa Claus.
Copy !req
118. I mean, we have a real energy
crisis on our hands.
Copy !req
119. Oh.
Copy !req
120. I mean, just see how low the, uh
Claus meter is.
Copy !req
121. That's shocking.
Copy !req
122. That's why I came up
Copy !req
123. With this little beauty in the '60s.
Copy !req
124. Engine hums to life
Copy !req
125. WH-what is it?
Copy !req
126. It's a cringle 3000...
Copy !req
127. A 500-reindeer power jet turbine
engine.
Copy !req
128. Without it, the sleigh couldn't
Copy !req
129. Get more than, uh, a few feet off
the ground.
Copy !req
130. Well, it looks like we got
Copy !req
131. A short in the thermo coupler.
Copy !req
132. You wanna give me a hand with that?
Copy !req
133. You want me to help?
Copy !req
134. As much as, uh, buddy was accepted
Copy !req
135. By his family and friends,
Copy !req
136. There were a few drawbacks
Copy !req
137. To being, uh, a human in, uh
an elf's world.
Copy !req
138. Music plays chattering
Copy !req
139. Hey, Ming Ming.
Copy !req
140. Um...
Copy !req
141. I'm gonna be a little bit short
on today's quota.
Copy !req
142. It's all right, buddy.
Copy !req
143. Just how many etch-a-sketches
Copy !req
144. Did you get finished?
Copy !req
145. Come on, buddy. How many?
Copy !req
146. I made, uh... 85.
Copy !req
147. Eighty-five?
Copy !req
148. That puts you...
Copy !req
149. 915 off the pace.
Copy !req
150. Female elf: Ooh... that's bad.
Copy !req
151. Why don't you just say it?
Copy !req
152. I'm the worst toy maker in
the world.
Copy !req
153. I'm a cotton-headed ninny-muggins.
Copy !req
154. Gasps
Copy !req
155. No, buddy, you're not cotton-
headed ninny-muggins.
Copy !req
156. We all just have different talents
That's all.
Copy !req
157. Seems like everyone else
Copy !req
158. Have the same talents
except for me.
Copy !req
159. You... you have, you have lots of
Talents, uh...
Copy !req
160. Special talents in fact, like
Um, uh...
Copy !req
161. Special talents?
Copy !req
162. You changed the batteries in the
smoke detector.
Copy !req
163. You sure did... aaa's.
Copy !req
164. And in six months, you'll have
to check'em again...
Copy !req
165. Won't he?
Copy !req
166. And you're the only baritone in
the elf choir.
Copy !req
167. You bring us down whole octave.
Copy !req
168. In a good way.
Copy !req
169. See, buddy?
Copy !req
170. You're not a cotton-headed ninny-
muggings.
Copy !req
171. You're just... special.
Copy !req
172. And so, buddy was sent where the...
The special elves work.
Copy !req
173. Devilish laughter aah!
Copy !req
174. (Pop goes the weasel playing
Copy !req
175. Laughter ah!
Copy !req
176. Sighs
Copy !req
177. (Pop goes the weasel playing
Copy !req
178. Laughter
Copy !req
179. Hey, foom foom...
Copy !req
180. I hate to do this to you, but you
Think you could
Copy !req
181. Help me pick up the slack on those
etch-a-sketches?
Copy !req
182. No problem. I appreciate it.
Copy !req
183. Buddy is killing me.
Copy !req
184. I already got lum lum and choochoo pulling' doubles.
Copy !req
185. That was quick thinking yesterday
Copy !req
186. With that ¡°special talents¡± thing.
Copy !req
187. Ming Ming: I feel bad for the guy.
Copy !req
188. I just hope he doesn't get wise.
Copy !req
189. Well, if he hasn't figured out
He's a human by now,
Copy !req
190. I don't think he ever will.
Copy !req
191. Foom foom: If he hasn't figured
Out he's a human
Copy !req
192. By now, I don't think he ever will.
Copy !req
193. I think they're too small.
Copy !req
194. Ming Ming: You're just... special.
Copy !req
195. Snores
Copy !req
196. Buddy sings deeply
Copy !req
197. Sneakers screech
Copy !req
198. Devilish laughter
Copy !req
199. You don't look so good, buddy.
Copy !req
200. Are you okay?
Copy !req
201. I'll be okay, I just need a glass
of water.
Copy !req
202. Aah!
Copy !req
203. Buddy...
Copy !req
204. Unh! Aah!
Copy !req
205. Knock on door
Copy !req
206. Buddy, are you okay?
Copy !req
207. I'm sorry, papa.
Copy !req
208. I just need some alone time.
Copy !req
209. Buddy, I... I think we... we have
to talk.
Copy !req
210. Buddy, uh, I think there's something
Copy !req
211. I... I probably should tell you.
Copy !req
212. You probably should have found
out a long...
Copy !req
213. A long time ago.
Copy !req
214. I then proceeded to tell buddy of
how his father
Copy !req
215. Had fallen in love when he was
very young
Copy !req
216. With a beautiful girl named
Susan wells,
Copy !req
217. And how buddy was born
Copy !req
218. And put up for adoption by
his mother,
Copy !req
219. And how she had later passed away.
Copy !req
220. I... I told him his father
Copy !req
221. Had never even known that
Buddy was born,
Copy !req
222. And most importantly,
Copy !req
223. I told him where his father was...
Copy !req
224. Uh, in a magical land called
new York City.
Copy !req
225. My dad works there?
Copy !req
226. Empire state building.
Copy !req
227. Hey, buddy, wanna pick some
snow berries?
Copy !req
228. Not now, arctic puffin.
Copy !req
229. Hello, buddy. Oh... hi, Leon.
Copy !req
230. Why the long face, partner?
Copy !req
231. It seems I'm... I'm not an elf.
Copy !req
232. 'Course you're not. You're 6'3"
Copy !req
233. And had a beard since you were 15.
Copy !req
234. Papa says my real father
Copy !req
235. Lives in a magical place far away.
Copy !req
236. I don't know what to do.
Copy !req
237. At least you have a daddy.
Copy !req
238. I was just rolled up one day and
left out here in the cold.
Copy !req
239. But the thing is, I've never even left
the North Pole.
Copy !req
240. Buddy, I've been around the world
Many times
Copy !req
241. When I was a young cumulus
nimbus cloud.
Copy !req
242. It's a wonderful place, filled with
Wondrous creatures...
Copy !req
243. Except dogs.
Copy !req
244. Oh, by the way, don't eat the
yellow snow.
Copy !req
245. Oh, I know that.
Copy !req
246. All I'm say in' is, this might be
The golden opportunity
Copy !req
247. To find out whom you really are.
Copy !req
248. So, I hear you're going
Copy !req
249. On a little journey to
the big city.
Copy !req
250. Yup. Ahh.
Copy !req
251. I'm kind a nervous.
Copy !req
252. Chuckles
Copy !req
253. Leon says New York is pretty
different.
Copy !req
254. Oh, don't pay attention to Leon.
Copy !req
255. He's never been anywhere.
He doesn't have any feet.
Copy !req
256. I've been to New York thousands
of times.
Copy !req
257. Really? Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
258. What's it like?
Copy !req
259. Well, there are some things you
should know.
Copy !req
260. First off, you see gum on
The street,
Copy !req
261. Leave it there. It's not
free candy.
Copy !req
262. Oh. Second,
Copy !req
263. There are, like, 30 ray's
pizzas.
Copy !req
264. They all claim to be the
Original,
Copy !req
265. But the real one' son 11th.
Copy !req
266. And if you see a sign that
Says "peep show,"
Copy !req
267. That doesn't mean that
They're letting you
Copy !req
268. Look at presents before Christmas.
Copy !req
269. Can't wait to see my dad...
Copy !req
270. We're gonna go ices skating and...
And eat sugar plums.
Copy !req
271. Yeah, that's the other thing
Copy !req
272. I wanted to talk to you about.
Copy !req
273. You know, buddy... sighs
Copy !req
274. Your father...
Copy !req
275. Well... he's on the naughty list.
Copy !req
276. No!
Copy !req
277. You're taking the books back?
Copy !req
278. Chuckles
Copy !req
279. See, I... I see what you're trying
to do here.
Copy !req
280. Y-you're trying to make me feel bad,
Copy !req
281. When, in actuality, you're the one
Copy !req
282. That missed the payments.
Copy !req
283. But the children love the books.
Copy !req
284. I know that, uh...
Copy !req
285. You know, I'm the one that ran
The focus groups,
Copy !req
286. But I like hearing that.
Copy !req
287. Listen, some people, they just
Lose sight
Copy !req
288. Of what's important in life.
Copy !req
289. That doesn't mean they can't find
their way again, huh?
Copy !req
290. Maybe all they need
Copy !req
291. Is just a little Christmas spirit.
Copy !req
292. Cheering
Copy !req
293. Well, uh, I... I'm good at that.
Copy !req
294. I know you are.
Copy !req
295. And I'll...
Copy !req
296. I'll always, uh,
Copy !req
297. I'll always be here for you.
Copy !req
298. Now, uh...
Copy !req
299. Go... uh, get.

747. I'll put in a good word with
the big man.
Copy !req
748. Thanks. Your costume is pretty.
Copy !req
749. Oh, it's not a costume.
I'm an elf.
Copy !req
750. Well, technically, I'm a human,
Copy !req
751. But I was raised by elves.
Copy !req
752. Oh, I'm a human raised by humans.
Copy !req
753. Hmm. Cool.
Copy !req
754. Door opens so?
Copy !req
755. It's a boy... buddy's your son.
Copy !req
756. That's very impossible.
Copy !req
757. You... you saw that guy out there.
Copy !req
758. He's... he's certifiably insane.
Copy !req
759. He's probably just reverting
Copy !req
760. To a state of childlike
dependency.
Copy !req
761. An elf?
Copy !req
762. What he needs is to be nurtured.
Copy !req
763. Oh, I see.
Copy !req
764. So, um, uh...
Copy !req
765. You'd like me to breastfeed him?
Copy !req
766. Walter, just bring him home.
Copy !req
767. Introduce him to Emily and
Michael,
Copy !req
768. And once... once he comes to
Terms with reality,
Copy !req
769. He should drop the whole elf
Thing and move on with his life.
Copy !req
770. I mean, that's what I would do if
I was you.
Copy !req
771. Oh, my god! Walter, this is...
Copy !req
772. This is wonderful,
Copy !req
773. You... you have another son.
Copy !req
774. Wonderful. Oh, gosh, I...
Copy !req
775. I guess I never really thought
of it that way.
Copy !req
776. This is incredible, I...
Copy !req
777. You know, it's a little
complicated,
Copy !req
778. But it's nothing that we can't
handle.
Copy !req
779. Honey? What?
Copy !req
780. He thinks he's an elf.
Copy !req
781. I'm sorry, what?
Copy !req
782. He thinks she's a Christmas elf.
Copy !req
783. Oh, come on, Walter,
Copy !req
784. I'm sure he doesn't actually
think he's an elf.
Copy !req
785. And then, I traveled through
the seven levels
Copy !req
786. Of the candy cane forest,
Copy !req
787. Past the sea of swirly-twirly
gumdrops,
Copy !req
788. And then, I walked through the
Lincoln tunnel.
Copy !req
789. Ahh.
Copy !req
790. So, where were you for the
last 30 years?
Copy !req
791. The north pole.
Copy !req
792. Can you pass the maple syrup?
Please?
Copy !req
793. I... I didn't put... it's
spaghetti.
Copy !req
794. Oh, you know what? I think
I have some.
Copy !req
795. Yes.
Copy !req
796. You like sugar, huh?
Copy !req
797. Is there sugar in syrup?
Copy !req
798. Yes.
Copy !req
799. Then yes.
Copy !req
800. We elves try to stick to the
four main food groups
Copy !req
801. Candy, candy canes, candy corns,
and syrup.
Copy !req
802. So, will you be staying with us?
Then?
Copy !req
803. You mean I can stay?
Copy !req
804. Of course you can. Emily.
Copy !req
805. How... how long do you think
you'll be with us?
Copy !req
806. I... I hadn't really planned
it out,
Copy !req
807. But I was thinking, like...
forever.
Copy !req
808. Emily? Can I just speak to you
for a minute
Copy !req
809. in the, uh, kitchen, please?
Copy !req
810. Are you crazy? He cannot
stay here.
Copy !req
811. Clearly he has some serious issues.
Copy !req
812. We can't just throw him out in
the snow.
Copy !req
813. Why not? He loves the snow.
Copy !req
814. He's told me 15 times.
Copy !req
815. Walter, he's your son.
Copy !req
816. Belching
Copy !req
817. Did you hear that?
Copy !req
818. You are so weird.
Copy !req
819. Dad?
Copy !req
820. Dad?
Copy !req
821. Dad! Door opens
Copy !req
822. What?
Copy !req
823. Whispering I can't go to sleep
Copy !req
824. Unless I get tucked in.
Copy !req
825. What?
Copy !req
826. I can't go to sleep unless I
get tucked in.
Copy !req
827. I am not gonna tuck you in.
Copy !req
828. I... I promise I'll go right
to sleep.
Copy !req
829. Fine.
Copy !req
830. Tickle fight, tickle fight!
buddy, stop.
Copy !req
831. Tickle fight. Tickle... stop

Copy !req
834. Hey, uh...
Copy !req
835. Clears throat
Copy !req
836. You just lay there and go to
sleep.
Copy !req
837. Okay.
Copy !req
838. Okay.
Copy !req
839. Dad? Hmm?
Copy !req
840. I love you.
Copy !req
841. Okay. Go to sleep now.
Copy !req
842. Well, this is really something.
Copy !req
843. I'm usually the one making
breakfast.
Copy !req
844. That's good, that's good.
Copy !req
845. Okay.
Copy !req
846. Oh, that's good.
Copy !req
847. Good? Good.
Copy !req
848. Good.
Copy !req
849. So, did you, um...
Copy !req
850. Did you sleep okay last night?
Copy !req
851. Great. I got a full 40 minutes.
Copy !req
852. And I had time to build that
rocking horse.
Copy !req
853. Uh, oh, my gosh. You actually
made that?
Copy !req
854. Where did you get all the wood?
Copy !req
855. Good morning, honey. Good
morning, dad.
Copy !req
856. Walter, buddy has made us
breakfast.
Copy !req
857. Isn't that nice? Grunts
Copy !req
858. And lunch.
Copy !req
859. And lunch.
Copy !req
860. Bye.
Copy !req
861. So, dad, how many scoops?
Copy !req
862. I'll stick with the coffee now,
thanks.
Copy !req
863. So, dad...
Copy !req
864. I planned out our whole day.
Copy !req
865. First, we'll make snow angels
for two hours,
Copy !req
866. And then we'll go ice skating
and then we'll eat a
whole roll
Copy !req
867. Of tollhouse cookie dough as fast
as we can,
Copy !req
868. And then, to finish, we'll snuggle.
Copy !req
869. I've got to go to work, buddy.
Copy !req
870. Oh, and another thing...
Copy !req
871. If you're going to be staying
here,
Copy !req
872. You should think about, you know,
Copy !req
873. Getting rid of the costume.
Copy !req
874. But I've worn this my whole life.
Copy !req
875. You're not in the North Pole any
longer.
Copy !req
876. You wanna make me happy, don't you?
Copy !req
877. More than anything.
Copy !req
878. Then, lose the tights. I mean,
as soon as possible.
Copy !req
879. As soon as possible?
Copy !req
880. As soon as possible.
Copy !req
881. Okay.
Copy !req
882. I almost forgot...
Copy !req
883. Aah! Aah!
Copy !req
884. Good morning.
Copy !req
885. Cell phone rings
Copy !req
886. Ring
Copy !req
887. Walter here.
Copy !req
888. Gasps it worked, it's you.
Copy !req
889. How'd you get this number?
Copy !req
890. Emily left an emergency list.
Copy !req
891. I see.
Copy !req
892. And, uh, is this an emergency?
Copy !req
893. There's a horrible noise
Copy !req
894. Coming from the evil
box underneath the window.
Copy !req
895. It sounds like this...
Copy !req
896. Screeches and wails
Copy !req
897. It's, uh, it's... it's not evil,
buddy,
Copy !req
898. It's, uh, it's a radiator,
Copy !req
899. And the heat makes noise when
it comes on.
Copy !req
900. No, it doesn't. It... It's very
evil.
Copy !req
901. It's scary to look at. It's...
okay...
Copy !req
902. I'm going toward... oh, wait.
Yes, it is.
Copy !req
903. Okay, it's okay. It's okay.
Copy !req
904. Everything's fine.
Copy !req
905. You were right.
Copy !req
906. Okay, good, uh, I'm gonna hang
up now.
Copy !req
907. I love you.
Copy !req
908. I'll call you in five minutes.
Copy !req
909. No, no, buddy, don't, uh...
Copy !req
910. You... you don't have to call me
, okay?
Copy !req
911. Good idea, you call me.
Copy !req
912. Okay. I'm gonna hang up now.
Copy !req
913. I painted a picture of a
butterfly.
Copy !req
914. Good. I'm gonna hang up now.
Copy !req
915. I tuned the piano.
Copy !req
916. Okay, I love you. Bye.
Copy !req
917. Mmm...
Copy !req
918. Mmm... Mmm.
Copy !req
919. Mmm.
Copy !req
920. Sighs
Copy !req
921. Hobbs. Hey!
Copy !req
922. How you doing? Please, sit
down.
Copy !req
923. I haven't seen you since
the retreat.
Copy !req
924. You're looking good.
Copy !req
925. Oh, thank you very much.
You as well.
Copy !req
926. To what do I owe the, uh,
pleasure?
Copy !req
927. Well, to be honest, I got a call
from my niece.
Copy !req
928. She wants to know
Copy !req
929. How a certain puppy and a
certain pigeon
Copy !req
930. Escape the clutches of a
certain evil witch.
Copy !req
931. Believe me, uh,
Copy !req
932. We're already looking for new
printers.
Copy !req
933. This one has obviously gotten a
little sloppy.
Copy !req
934. Maybe it isn't the printer who's
gotten sloppy.
Copy !req
935. That's your signature, right?
Copy !req
936. You know, we could sit here and
point fingers all day.
Copy !req
937. I've got news for you...
Copy !req
938. Even if those two pages were
in there,
Copy !req
939. The book still would have sucked.
Copy !req
940. Have you seen the numbers for
this quarter?
Copy !req
941. Uh, they'll be here today. Oh,
they're in.
Copy !req
942. That frigging puppy and pigeon
Copy !req
943. Are tanking hard, Hobbs.
Copy !req
944. My people estimate we're
gonna post
Copy !req
945. A minus eight for this quarter.
Copy !req
946. A minus eight! That does not
happen!
Copy !req
947. You know, we'll... we'll bounce
back, we...
Copy !req
948. No, no, no. No? Well...
Copy !req
949. We're gonna ship a new book
Copy !req
950. The first quarter.
Copy !req
951. First quarter?
Copy !req
952. I'm gonna be back in town on
the 24th.
Copy !req
953. At that time, I would love
to hear
Copy !req
954. In exact detail
Copy !req
955. What your plans are for this
new book.
Copy !req
956. Uh, wait a minute, the, uh
the 24th, that's Christmas
eve.
Copy !req
957. And?
Copy !req
958. And, uh...
Copy !req
959. No problem. Be great to have
you in the loop.
Copy !req
960. School bell rings
Copy !req
961. All right, I got every
weapon in the game.
Copy !req
962. I got full health, I got full
armor.
Copy !req
963. Michael!
Copy !req
964. I got full...
Copy !req
965. Michael!
Copy !req
966. It's me buddy!
Copy !req
967. You know that guy?
Copy !req
968. No, I've never seen him before.
Copy !req
969. It's me buddy! Your brother!
Copy !req
970. Oh, man.
Copy !req
971. No, Michael! Wait! It's your
brother bud...
Copy !req
972. Tires screech
Copy !req
973. Sorry. Sorry! Horn honks
Copy !req
974. Michael! Michael!
Copy !req
975. Michael!
Copy !req
976. Michael, wait up!
Copy !req
977. Michael! Michael!
Copy !req
978. Wow, you're fast.
Copy !req
979. I'm glad I caught up with you.
Copy !req
980. I waited five hours for you.
Copy !req
981. Why is your coat so big?
Copy !req
982. So, good news... I saw a dog
today.
Copy !req
983. Have you seen a dog?
You probably have.
Copy !req
984. How was school? Was it fun?
Copy !req
985. Did you get a lot of
homework, huh?
Copy !req
986. Do you have any friends?
Copy !req
987. Do you have a best friend?
Copy !req
988. Does he have a big coat, too?
Copy !req
989. Go away!
Copy !req
990. Ow! Son of a nutcracker!
Copy !req
991. Run!
Copy !req
992. Get him! Get the
green guy!
Copy !req
993. Boys cheering
Copy !req
994. Oh, no. These guys are bad news.
Copy !req
995. We better get outta here.
Copy !req
996. You know what? We can take'em.
Copy !req
997. Okay, just start making as
many snowballs as you can.
Copy !req
998. Grunts you ready?
Copy !req
999. Let's go. Aah! Ow.
Copy !req
1000. Ow!
Copy !req
1001. Run!
Copy !req
1002. Crying
Copy !req
1003. Oh, man. One got away.
Copy !req
1004. Snowball.
Copy !req
1005. Unh!
Copy !req
1006. Wow.
Copy !req
1007. Where did you say you were from?
Copy !req
1008. Oh, yeah
Copy !req
1009. Candles burning low
Copy !req
1010. Lots of mistletoe
Copy !req
1011. Lots of snow and ice everywhere
we go
Copy !req
1012. Choirs singing carols right
outside my door
Copy !req
1013. All these things and more
Copy !req
1014. I wish dad were here.
Copy !req
1015. Why?
Copy !req
1016. 'Cause he's the greatest dad in
the whole wide world.
Copy !req
1017. Are you kidding?
Copy !req
1018. He's the worst dad in the world.
Copy !req
1019. What do you mean?
Copy !req
1020. All he does is work.
Copy !req
1021. Working's fun.
Copy !req
1022. Not the way he does it.
Copy !req
1023. All he cares about is money.
Copy !req
1024. He doesn't care about you,
or me, or anybody.
Copy !req
1025. Well, he is on the naughty list.
Copy !req
1026. You like her?
Copy !req
1027. Like who?
Copy !req
1028. The girl you're staring at.
Copy !req
1029. Oh, uh...
Copy !req
1030. Yeah.
Copy !req
1031. Why don't you ask her out?
Copy !req
1032. Out?
Copy !req
1033. You know, on a date...
to eat food.
Copy !req
1034. Food?
Copy !req
1035. Yes, real food, not candy.
Copy !req
1036. And if she says yes,
you're in.
Copy !req
1037. It's like a secret code
girls have.
Copy !req
1038. Well, look who it is.
Copy !req
1039. Hi, Jovie. Hi.
Copy !req
1040. Oh, uh, this is Michael.
Copy !req
1041. I'm his brother.
Copy !req
1042. Hi.
Copy !req
1043. So, what are you doing here?
Copy !req
1044. Did gimbel's give you your
job back?
Copy !req
1045. No. But things worked out
pretty good.
Copy !req
1046. They gave me a restraining
order.
Copy !req
1047. Well, um, you should probably
get outta here.
Copy !req
1048. Ho ho ho!
Copy !req
1049. But... I really wanted to
see you,
Copy !req
1050. And... and I think you're
beautiful, and I, um...
Copy !req
1051. I feel really warm when I
am around you,
Copy !req
1052. And, um, my tongue swells up.
Copy !req
1053. So...
Copy !req
1054. Do you wanna go eat food?
Copy !req
1055. Do I... do I wanna eat food?
Copy !req
1056. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
1057. You know, uh, the code... food.
Copy !req
1058. Well, I just had my lunch
break.
Copy !req
1059. Oh, okay. I understand.
Copy !req
1060. But I'm free on Thursday.
Copy !req
1061. Thursday! Thursday!
Copy !req
1062. Come on. That'd be great.
Copy !req
1063. All right.
Copy !req
1064. Was that okay?
Copy !req
1065. You did great, man.
Copy !req
1066. What should we put on it
first?
Copy !req
1067. Lights! Oh, good.
Copy !req
1068. And then, after that?
Copy !req
1069. Ornaments! Ornaments, okay.
Copy !req
1070. What the hell's that?
Copy !req
1071. A Christmas tree.
Copy !req
1072. A Christmas tree?
Copy !req
1073. Buddy chopped it down in
the park.
Copy !req
1074. Emily.
Copy !req
1075. I don't know what you're making
such a big deal about.
Copy !req
1076. They were just having a
little fun.
Copy !req
1077. Oh, fun? So felonies are
fun now?
Copy !req
1078. I thought, see, felonies
were felonies.
Copy !req
1079. Okay, the tree thing was bad.
Copy !req
1080. I'll get him to plant
another one.
Copy !req
1081. But at least Michael is
happy for once.
Copy !req
1082. What, uh, what's that supposed
to mean?
Copy !req
1083. Well, I don't think it's any
secret, Walter,
Copy !req
1084. That you haven't exactly been
there for him.
Copy !req
1085. I'll tell you what, why don't
we just
Copy !req
1086. Pull him outta school and let
the, uh,
Copy !req
1087. Deranged elf man raise him?
Copy !req
1088. Then they can have lots of
fun committing felonies.
Copy !req
1089. How are we gonna get the star
on top?
Copy !req
1090. I got it.
Copy !req
1091. I mean, what are we gonna do?
Copy !req
1092. We can't... we can't leave him
alone here.
Copy !req
1093. He's gonna destroy the place.
Copy !req
1094. Why don't you, um...
Copy !req
1095. Why don't you take off tomorrow?
Copy !req
1096. You know, and you could stay
home and watch him?
Copy !req
1097. Oh, no. No, I can't stay home
tomorrow,
Copy !req
1098. I have a budget meeting tomorrow.
Copy !req
1099. Well, honey, I can't take off,
Copy !req
1100. I'm one... one bad pitch away
Copy !req
1101. From getting fired... one.
Copy !req
1102. Well, I tell you what, I have
an idea then.
Copy !req
1103. Why don't you take buddy to
work with you?
Copy !req
1104. Elevator chimes
Copy !req
1105. Hey, Walter. Morning, jack.
Copy !req
1106. Morning, jack.
Copy !req
1107. Oh, good morning, Mr. Hobbs.
Copy !req
1108. Good morning, Sarah. Good
morning, Sarah.
Copy !req
1109. That's a nice purple dress.
It's very purple-y
Copy !req
1110. Francisco. How's it going, Mr.
Hobbs?
Copy !req
1111. Francisco, that's fun to say..."
Francisco."
Copy !req
1112. Gasps
Copy !req
1113. Hi! Hi.
Copy !req
1114. Do you remember me?
Copy !req
1115. I do. I didn't recognize you.
Copy !req
1116. I know, I'm in work clothes.
Copy !req
1117. Thank you, Deborah.
Copy !req
1118. Thanks, deb.
Copy !req
1119. Deb, you have such a pretty face.
Copy !req
1120. You should be on a Christmas card.
Copy !req
1121. You just made my day.
Copy !req
1122. Eww.
Copy !req
1123. Buddy. Hmm?
Copy !req
1124. You don't have to drink that.
Copy !req
1125. Thank you.
Copy !req
1126. Francisco.
Copy !req
1127. Francisco.
Copy !req
1128. Francisco.
Copy !req
1129. Francisco.
Copy !req
1130. Buddy?
Copy !req
1131. Am I too loud?
Copy !req
1132. Just... just a little.
Copy !req
1133. Sorry.
Copy !req
1134. Yes, bud?
Copy !req
1135. Why is your name on the desk?
Copy !req
1136. I bought the desk.
Copy !req
1137. My name's there so no one
steals it.
Copy !req
1138. That's a joke, isn't it, dad?
Copy !req
1139. Yeah, buddy, that's a joke.
Copy !req
1140. So, what are we gonna build?
Copy !req
1141. No, uh, we don't do
Copy !req
1142. That kind of work here, pal.
Copy !req
1143. Phone rings
Copy !req
1144. Buddy the elf, what's your
favorite color?
Copy !req
1145. Put that down. Hello?
Copy !req
1146. Hello? Dial tone
Copy !req
1147. Please, don't touch anything.
Copy !req
1148. Sorry.
Copy !req
1149. Hey...
Copy !req
1150. Bud, have you... have you...
Copy !req
1151. Have you ever seen a mailroom?
Copy !req
1152. A mailroom? No.
Copy !req
1153. No? No.
Copy !req
1154. Oh, I mean, wow.
Copy !req
1155. Wow... listen, it's a
place where mail
Copy !req
1156. From all over the world
comes,
Copy !req
1157. Uh-huh. And they sort it
out there, see?
Copy !req
1158. And you can touch it all,
Copy !req
1159. And they put it in these
shiny bins.
Copy !req
1160. Shiny bins? Right.
Copy !req
1161. What do ya think? It
sounds great.
Copy !req
1162. Good.
Copy !req
1163. Can we go there?
Copy !req
1164. Well, um...
Copy !req
1165. I gotta work here, maybe... maybe
you can work there.
Copy !req
1166. Okay, I'll work there.
Copy !req
1167. Rap music playing
Copy !req
1168. Oh, I don't think this is
the place
Copy !req
1169. My dad was talking about.
Copy !req
1170. Is there a different mailroom?
Copy !req
1171. No. This is the only one.
Copy !req
1172. It's not very shiny.
Copy !req
1173. Now... over here's the trench.
Copy !req
1174. All the mail comes out that
shooter.
Copy !req
1175. Scan and find the floor each
piece is moving to.
Copy !req
1176. Put it in a canister
Copy !req
1177. And shove it up the tube with
the same number.
Copy !req
1178. You got that?
Copy !req
1179. I think so.
Copy !req
1180. This place reminds me of
Santa's workshop.
Copy !req
1181. Except it smells like mushrooms,
Copy !req
1182. And everyone looks like they
wanna hurt me.
Copy !req
1183. Uh, greenway's coming in tomorrow,
Copy !req
1184. So, what... what do we got?
Copy !req
1185. Well, Morris and I have been
brainstorming,
Copy !req
1186. And we've come up with what I
think
Copy !req
1187. Is a pretty big idea.
Copy !req
1188. Great, what?
Copy !req
1189. You're gonna love it, it's
fantastic.
Copy !req
1190. What?
Copy !req
1191. Okay, picture this...
Copy !req
1192. We bring in miles finch.
Copy !req
1193. The miles finch?
Copy !req
1194. The golden ghost.
Copy !req
1195. We bring him in!
Copy !req
1196. He's written more classics than dr.
Seuss.
Copy !req
1197. It ain't gonna be easy,
Copy !req
1198. But I think it's worth a shot.
Copy !req
1199. My two top writers, my crack team,

Copy !req
1311. No, it's the world's best cup
of coffee.

1334. Yeah.
Copy !req
1335. I'm Walter Hobbs. Yeah, let's get
the, uh...
Copy !req
1336. Taken care of so we can get started
here.
Copy !req
1337. Here you go.
Copy !req
1338. Great.
Copy !req
1339. All right... clears throat
Copy !req
1340. What have you guys got so far?
Copy !req
1341. Go ahead.
Copy !req
1342. Uh...
Copy !req
1343. We were thinking, uh, something
like this, uh...
Copy !req
1344. We open on a young tomato.
Copy !req
1345. He's had some tough times down
at the farm
Copy !req
1346. With, you know, a rabbit, and...
Copy !req
1347. No. No tomatoes...
Copy !req
1348. Too vulnerable.
Copy !req
1349. Kids, they're already vulnerable.
Copy !req
1350. No, you see? I... I told you guys.
Copy !req
1351. I told them the very same thing...
Copy !req
1352. And no farms.
Copy !req
1353. Every body's pushing small town
rural.
Copy !req
1354. A farm book would just be white
noise.
Copy !req
1355. What about this?
Copy !req
1356. Uh, a tribe of asparagus children,
Copy !req
1357. But they're self-conscious about
the way their pee smells.
Copy !req
1358. Apparently, all we have is
vegetables.
Copy !req
1359. I have no time, so, you know,
Copy !req
1360. If you've got a story here...
Copy !req
1361. I've got about five or six great
starts here.
Copy !req
1362. I've got one idea that
I'm especially
Copy !req
1363. Psyched out of my mind about.
Copy !req
1364. You know, it's one of those ideas
Copy !req
1365. Where you're just like, uh...
Copy !req
1366. Yes!
Copy !req
1367. Whoa! Chuckling
Copy !req
1368. Uh, great, c-could we hear it?
Copy !req
1369. I'll start with the cover.
Picture this... you got, uh
Copy !req
1370. Dad! I'm in love, I'm in love,
Copy !req
1371. And I don't care who knows it!
Copy !req
1372. Buddy, not now, uh,
Copy !req
1373. Can you please go back to the...
to the pit?
Copy !req
1374. I'll come and visit you in a
little while, okay?
Copy !req
1375. I didn't know you had elves
working here.
Copy !req
1376. Oh... boy, you're... you're hilarious,
my friend.
Copy !req
1377. He doesn't, uh... get back to
Copy !req
1378. The story, please. All right, okay.
Copy !req
1379. Clears throat
Copy !req
1380. So, on the cover above the title...
Copy !req
1381. Does Santa know that you left the
workshop?
Copy !req
1382. You know, we're all laughing our
heads off.
Copy !req
1383. Did you have to borrow a reindeer
to get down here?
Copy !req
1384. Buddy... go back to the basement.
Copy !req
1385. Hey, jack weed,
Copy !req
1386. I get more action in a week
Copy !req
1387. than you've had your entire life.
Copy !req
1388. I've got houses in I.e., Paris,
and Vail,
Copy !req
1389. Oh. Each one of them
Copy !req
1390. with a 70-inchplasma screen.
Copy !req
1391. So, I suggest you wipe
Copy !req
1392. That stupid smile off your face
Copy !req
1393. Before I come over there and smack
it off!
Copy !req
1394. You feeling strong, my friend?
Copy !req
1395. Call me elf one more time!
Copy !req
1396. Whispers he's an angry elf.
Copy !req
1397. Growling look at you.
Copy !req
1398. Ow! Hey, what...
Copy !req
1399. Aah!
Copy !req
1400. I wasn't ready for that.
Copy !req
1401. Aah! Hey, hey, hey!
Copy !req
1402. Hey, hey, hey! Whoa!
Copy !req
1403. Ooh...
Copy !req
1404. Call me elf one more time!
Copy !req
1405. Call me elf!
Copy !req
1406. You're an elf.
Copy !req
1407. Glass shatters
Copy !req
1408. Miles, I'm sorry, he... he thinks
he's an elf.
Copy !req
1409. Listen, miles...
Copy !req
1410. Listen, miles! Door slams
Copy !req
1411. He must be a South Pole elf.
Copy !req
1412. You get the hell outta here.
Copy !req
1413. Where do you want me to go?
Copy !req
1414. I don't care where you go.
Copy !req
1415. I don't care that you're an elf!
Copy !req
1416. I don't care that you're nuts!
Copy !req
1417. I don't care that you're my son!
Copy !req
1418. Get out of my life now!
Copy !req
1419. Hi, it's me.
Copy !req
1420. I really can't talk right now.
Copy !req
1421. Well, just tell me how the pitch
went.
Copy !req
1422. I'm gonna be a little later than
I thought, okay?
Copy !req
1423. Well, don't be too late, Walter,
Copy !req
1424. It's Christmas Eve.
Copy !req
1425. Walter... wait, um.
Copy !req
1426. Honey, I gotta go, okay? Love ya.
Copy !req
1427. Oh, say hi to buddy.
Copy !req
1428. What? Walter, breakthrough.
Copy !req
1429. We found this in the conference
room.
Copy !req
1430. What is it?
Copy !req
1431. It's miles finch's notebook.
Copy !req
1432. This thing is chock full of
genius ideas.
Copy !req
1433. I mean, look at that.
Copy !req
1434. And his best idea is about a
peach that lives on a farm.
Copy !req
1435. What's more vulnerable than a
peach?
Copy !req
1436. What, uh, what do we do?
Copy !req
1437. I think we should go with the
first pitch... it's genius.
Copy !req
1438. Uh, how much time we got?
Copy !req
1439. We got, like, 45 minutes. Well,
come on, let's, uh,
Copy !req
1440. Try to get a storyboard or
something ready.
Copy !req
1441. Come on, let's do it. Just try.
Copy !req
1442. No, you can't sit down and get a
storyboard ready.
Copy !req
1443. Go and get a storyboard ready.
Copy !req
1444. Oh, boy! Go.
Copy !req
1445. "I'm sorry I ruined your lives
Copy !req
1446. "And crammed 11 cookies into
the vcr.
Copy !req
1447. "I don't belong here. I don't
belong anywhere.
Copy !req
1448. I'll never forget you. Love,
buddy."
Copy !req
1449. God...
Copy !req
1450. Hey, buddy.
Copy !req
1451. Buddy?
Copy !req
1452. As you know, we need a big
launch fast
Copy !req
1453. To get the company back on
track.
Copy !req
1454. So, I think I speak for my fellow
board members
Copy !req
1455. When I say... this better be good.
Copy !req
1456. Before I get into the story, uh,
Copy !req
1457. Let me start with the cover, okay?
Copy !req
1458. Now, just picture this...
Copy !req
1459. Dad! I gotta talk to you.
Copy !req
1460. Michael, what is it?
Copy !req
1461. Buddy ran away.
Copy !req
1462. What? He... he left a note.
Copy !req
1463. I'm scared, dad, he's gone.
Copy !req
1464. Uh, let me just finish this
meeting,
Copy !req
1465. And then, um, we'll figure it
out, okay?
Copy !req
1466. Figure out what? Buddy cares
about everybody.
Copy !req
1467. All you care about is yourself.
Copy !req
1468. Hey, Michael.
Copy !req
1469. Wait.
Copy !req
1470. We're gonna have to reschedule
this, uh, Mr. Greenway.
Copy !req
1471. We don't have time to reschedule.
Copy !req
1472. I wanna hear the damn thing now.
Copy !req
1473. Son, you'll have to wait.
Copy !req
1474. No, d-don't tell my kid what
to do, uh...
Copy !req
1475. Can't... can't we do this another
time, Mr. Greenway?
Copy !req
1476. I flew in just to hear this pitch,
Copy !req
1477. And I intend to.
Copy !req
1478. It's gonna have to wait.
Copy !req
1479. If you wanna keep your job, Hobbs,
Copy !req
1480. You will pitch me this book
right now.
Copy !req
1481. Well... up yours.
Copy !req
1482. Yeah, up yours. Hey.
Copy !req
1483. Hobbs... Hobbs!
Copy !req
1484. Hobbs, you walk out of here,
Copy !req
1485. And... and you're finished at
greenway!
Copy !req
1486. You're finished!
Copy !req
1487. I don't belong anywhere.
Copy !req
1488. Buddy!
Copy !req
1489. Buddy!
Copy !req
1490. Buddy, where are you?
Copy !req
1491. Prancer, pull! Come on! Come on!
Copy !req
1492. Vixen, up, up!
Copy !req
1493. Santa?
Copy !req
1494. Come on, you can do it.
Copy !req
1495. Pull up! Pull up!
Copy !req
1496. Dad! What?
Copy !req
1497. Michael, where you going?
Copy !req
1498. Michael!
Copy !req
1499. Santa.
Copy !req
1500. Back off, slick. You'll scare
the deer.
Copy !req
1501. Buddy, is that you?
Copy !req
1502. Are you okay?
Copy !req
1503. Boy, am I glad to see you.
Copy !req
1504. The Claus meter suddenly just
dropped down to zero.
Copy !req
1505. There's just no Christmas
spirit anymore.
Copy !req
1506. And then the strain was too
Much...
Copy !req
1507. The engine broke free of her
mounts.
Copy !req
1508. I need an elf's help.
Copy !req
1509. I... I'm not an elf, Santa.
Copy !req
1510. I... I can't do anything right.
Copy !req
1511. Buddy, you're more of an elf than
anyone I ever met,
Copy !req
1512. And the only one who I would want
Copy !req
1513. Working on my sleigh tonight.
Copy !req
1514. Really? Really.
Copy !req
1515. Will you fix it for me, buddy?
Copy !req
1516. I'll try. Papa taught me how.
Copy !req
1517. You gotta find it first.
Copy !req
1518. It dropped off the sleigh back
over there a ways.
Copy !req
1519. The engine? The engine, yeah.
Copy !req
1520. Go, buddy. Go, Mr. Elf!
Copy !req
1521. Chuckles
Copy !req
1522. I'm standing here outside
central park
Copy !req
1523. Where it is unclear exactly
what has happened.
Copy !req
1524. What we do know is that
authorities
Copy !req
1525. Have closed the park
Copy !req
1526. And are in the process of
clearing it.
Copy !req
1527. The only thing that people can
seem to agree on here
Copy !req
1528. Is that they saw something fall
from the sky.
Copy !req
1529. I've got an eyewitness with me
Copy !req
1530. Who claims to have seen the whole
thing firsthand.
Copy !req
1531. What did you actually see?
Copy !req
1532. You know, I was walking around and
I saw this thing,
Copy !req
1533. And my daughter actually pointed
it out to me.
Copy !req
1534. Oh, your daughter saw it?
Copy !req
1535. Sweetheart, can you tell me
Copy !req
1536. What you saw falling out of the
sky?
Copy !req
1537. It was Santa's sleigh!
Copy !req
1538. News woman chuckles
Copy !req
1539. Santa's sleigh, well, there you
have it.
Copy !req
1540. Santa's in Manhattan.
Copy !req
1541. Sorry to interrupt your first big
news story, charlotte,
Copy !req
1542. But New York one has just received
Copy !req
1543. Some exclusive amateur news footage
Copy !req
1544. That you just might Anna follow
up on.
Copy !req
1545. There seems to be a strange man
dressed as an elf
Copy !req
1546. Wandering through central park.
Copy !req
1547. Now, I don't know if this is the
kind of hard-hitting news
Copy !req
1548. You're used to covering in buffalo
, charlotte,
Copy !req
1549. Oh, my god. But here at New York one,
Copy !req
1550. News is top priority.
Copy !req
1551. What the heck...?
Copy !req
1552. Hey!
Copy !req
1553. You found it. Buddy!
Copy !req
1554. I need to tell you something.
Copy !req
1555. No, no. Buddy, there's something
Copy !req
1556. I have to tell you right now.
Copy !req
1557. Um, I didn't mean anything I said back
there, not word.
Copy !req
1558. I know you may be a little, um, um...
Copy !req
1559. Uh, chemically imbalanced,
Copy !req
1560. But you've been right about a lot
of things.
Copy !req
1561. I... I don't want you to leave.
Copy !req
1562. You're my son, and I... love you.
Copy !req
1563. Uh, buddy, uh...
Copy !req
1564. What was it you wanted to tell me?
Copy !req
1565. Oh, right. Come with me.
Copy !req
1566. Right. Come on.
Copy !req
1567. I'm here with another eyewitness
Copy !req
1568. Who has his own version of what
happened.
Copy !req
1569. Sir, what did you see?
Copy !req
1570. I think you're great, charlotte.
Copy !req
1571. Uh, I saw something fall from the
sky
Copy !req
1572. Right into the middle of central
park.
Copy !req
1573. I mean, you're a great news lady.
Copy !req
1574. Thank you.
Copy !req
1575. Could you tell me a bit more?
Copy !req
1576. About what you saw fall from the
sky?
Copy !req
1577. Yeah, yeah. Your eyes tell the
story,
Copy !req
1578. That's what I love about you.
You've got a great mouth.
Copy !req
1579. The thing just dropped in the middle of
central park.
Copy !req
1580. It was amazing, and everybody's, like,
going crazy.
Copy !req
1581. Dick, uh, according to authorities,
Copy !req
1582. The area has been cleared.
Copy !req
1583. Only the central park rangers now
remain in the park.
Copy !req
1584. These forces are highly trained,
Copy !req
1585. But rarely see action.
Copy !req
1586. Some have accused them of being
too gung ho
Copy !req
1587. When called into duty,
Copy !req
1588. And their controversial crowd
control tactics
Copy !req
1589. At the Simon and Garfunkel concert
in '85
Copy !req
1590. Are still under investigation.
Copy !req
1591. I knew you'd find it, Mr. Elf!
Copy !req
1592. Slap it on real quick, we've got
to get going.
Copy !req
1593. That ta boy.
Copy !req
1594. Chuckles
Copy !req
1595. So, uh... you're, uh...
Copy !req
1596. Santa Claus. Right.
Copy !req
1597. Would you mind taking this to
your firstborn?
Copy !req
1598. Sure.
Copy !req
1599. Um, uh, and my firstborn, he's
an elf?
Copy !req
1600. Yes. Actually, I'm adopted.
Copy !req
1601. Uh, Michael, would you open this
hatch for me, please?
Copy !req
1602. That ta boy, thank you.
Copy !req
1603. So, you're really Santa Claus?
Copy !req
1604. You never can tell, kid.
Copy !req
1605. Tell me, Michael,
Copy !req
1606. What do you want for Christmas?
Copy !req
1607. I wanted a skateboard.
Copy !req
1608. Oh, not just skateboard.
Copy !req
1609. A real huf board. Looked here.
Copy !req
1610. Looked here...
Copy !req
1611. How do you like them apples?
Copy !req
1612. Go look and see.
Copy !req
1613. Whoa.
Copy !req
1614. What happened?
Copy !req
1615. You made my sleigh fly.
Copy !req
1616. What do you mean?
Copy !req
1617. Well, before the turbine days,
Copy !req
1618. This baby used to run solely on
Christmas spirit.
Copy !req
1619. You believed in me. You made my
sleigh fly.
Copy !req
1620. Hold it... if you're really Santa
Claus,
Copy !req
1621. Then we can just get some news
cameras in here,
Copy !req
1622. And everyone will believe in you,
Copy !req
1623. Then your sleigh will fly, right?
Copy !req
1624. Christmas spirit is about believing,
not seeing.
Copy !req
1625. If the whole world saw me,
all would be lost.
Copy !req
1626. The paparazzi have been trying to
nail me for years.
Copy !req
1627. Horse whinnies
Copy !req
1628. Hey, look!
Copy !req
1629. Horse whinnies
Copy !req
1630. Oh, no.
Copy !req
1631. It's the central park rangers.
Copy !req
1632. Horses whinny
Copy !req
1633. Dad, Michael... I got a plan.
Copy !req
1634. Whoa, wait! Wait, Michael...

1635. You bring that list back right now,
you hear me?
Copy !req
1636. Come on, give me your hat and coat.
Copy !req
1637. Mrs. Claus made them for me.
Copy !req
1638. Hey! Hey, here I am!

Copy !req
1644. No, no reindeer. Sleigh bells?
Copy !req
1645. No, no sleigh bells, either.
Copy !req
1646. Elves? Excuse me, please.
Copy !req
1647. None of that, we really just

Copy !req
1649. His sleigh won't fly,' cause nobody
believes in him!
Copy !req
1650. Did you see something
in the park?
Copy !req
1651. Everyone out there,
Copy !req
1652. Santa needs us to believe,
I can prove he's real.
