Santa claus.

Copy !req
31. What is the problem?
Copy !req
32. Your Santa claus
is wearing a topcoat
and a fedora.
Copy !req
33. Hyah!
Copy !req
34. That's not
my Santa claus.
Copy !req
35. Right. Now,
Copy !req
36. throw it out and bring it up
right up high...
Copy !req
37. And down she comes!
Copy !req
38. Hmph.
Copy !req
39. Just in the wrist,
you see.
Copy !req
40. It's really quite simple,
you know, when you get
the knack of it.
Copy !req
41. Now then,
why don't you—
Copy !req
42. Okay, pops, come on.
It's my turn.
Copy !req
43. Now, uh, give me the whip.
What have you
just been drinking?
Copy !req
44. I just had a little
something to keep me warm.
Now, give me the whip.
Copy !req
45. You are intoxicated, sir!
Yeah, and you are
a pain in the butt.
Copy !req
46. Now, give me that whip.
Let me tell you something.
You are a disgrace!
Copy !req
47. Do you have any idea how many
children are watching you,
and you're drinking?
Copy !req
48. Just give me back the whip.
Let me tell you something,
young man.
Copy !req
49. When you put on this suit,
you represent something...
Copy !req
50. That has a great meaning
and significance to people
all over the world!
Copy !req
51. Now, I could overlook...
Copy !req
52. Your poorly
manufactured jacket...
Copy !req
53. Or even your ludicrously
unbelievable beard...
Hey!
Copy !req
54. Or perhaps your
phonily padded tummy,
Copy !req
55. but I will not tolerate
public drunkenness.
Copy !req
56. You should be
ashamed of yourself.
Copy !req
57. Hey, can I get
a cop over here?
That's a very good idea!
Copy !req
58. Officer!
Hey, wait
a minute, you.
Copy !req
59. Mrs. Walker!
Mrs. Walker!
Copy !req
60. Mrs. Walker!
We need your help here!
Copy !req
61. Ah, ah, ah.
Copy !req
62. If you're not with the parade,
sir, you have to get back up
on the sidewalk.
Copy !req
63. I need to see
whomever's in charge...
Copy !req
64. In order to alert them
to this man's
drunken condition.
Copy !req
65. Kiss my—
Don't! Easy!
Copy !req
66. Take it easy!
Gramps, come on.
Hey, come on.
Copy !req
67. Let's go for a little
walk, huh?
Copy !req
68. Hmm.
Copy !req
69. That man's
a degenerate!
Copy !req
70. It's time to go to work
up in the old office.
Copy !req
71. Little drafty there.
Copy !req
72. Hey, uh, let's just
watch the parade, okay?
Copy !req
73. Come on.
Copy !req
74. Okay, now, settle in here.
Whoop!
Copy !req
75. - Oh, my God.
- If this darn costume fit—
Copy !req
76. Okay, we'll show this guy
how to do it.
Copy !req
77. Whoa!
Copy !req
78. Merry Christmas to all
and to all a good night.
Copy !req
79. Sir?
Copy !req
80. Sir, excuse me.
Copy !req
81. Hello.
I'm dorey Walker,
oh.
Copy !req
82. Director of special projects
for c.F. Cole's
department store.
Copy !req
83. It's my pleasure. As a matter
of fact, I was looking for you
a few moments ago.
Copy !req
84. There's no doubt you saw
your Santa claus
is inebriated.
Copy !req
85. I know. He has created
such a terrible problem.
Copy !req
86. Millions of children
are watching here
and on television,
Copy !req
87. and they're expecting
to see Santa claus, and
right now we don't have one.
Copy !req
88. That is
a terrible problem.
Copy !req
89. Would you do it?
Copy !req
90. Would you be
our Santa claus?
Copy !req
91. Me?
Well, do you have
any experience?
Copy !req
92. Well, just a little.
Great. I'm sure
you'll be fine.
Copy !req
93. Isn't there someone
else you could ask?
Sir, the parade...
Copy !req
94. Has started already.
Copy !req
95. It's you, right now,
or else there is
no Santa...
Copy !req
96. In the Cole's
Thanksgiving day parade.
Copy !req
97. Might I perhaps
have a moment
to think about it?
Copy !req
98. Don't worry about a thing.
Just... be yourself.
Copy !req
99. Now dasher, now dancer,
now prancer and ViXen!
Copy !req
100. Now comet, now cupid,
now donner and blitzen!
Copy !req
101. Hey!
Copy !req
102. Merry Christmas!
Copy !req
103. Merry Christmas!
This Santa claus
is fantastic.
Copy !req
104. Did he sign a contract?
No. There wasn't
any time.
Copy !req
105. Myrna's gonna have him
sign after the parade.
Copy !req
106. She'll have him fill out
his employment papers, and he'll
start work in the morning.
Copy !req
107. The only condition he
insisted on is that he be able
to wear his own Santa suit.
Copy !req
108. He has his own
Santa suit?
Copy !req
109. Apparently.
Copy !req
110. Well, if it's horrible,
we'll make him wear
one of ours.
Copy !req
111. - I'm going home.
- You're not gonna watch
the rest of the parade?
Copy !req
112. No, I think I've had
quite enough for one day,
thank you.
Copy !req
113. I will see you
in the morning.
Okay.
Copy !req
114. Chin-chin.
Copy !req
115. Merry Christmas!
Copy !req
116. Susan?
Copy !req
117. Mom, I'm still
at Mr. bedford's. We can see
the parade from his window.
Copy !req
118. So put on something comfortable
and come on over.
Copy !req
119. P.S. Mr. bedford put
the Turkey in the oven.
Copy !req
120. He said you forgot to sew up
the Turkey's bottom.
The stuffing'll fall out.
Copy !req
121. But he told me
not to say anything because...
Copy !req
122. He loves you, and he
wants to kiss you,
Copy !req
123. and he thinks you're
the most beautiful woman
in the whole world!
Copy !req
124. Do you know how much it costs
to make this parade?
Uh,
Copy !req
125. a million dollars.
Copy !req
126. Two million dollars?
One point six,
Copy !req
127. and it's probably a big mistake,
because some guy's
gonna buy Cole's...
Copy !req
128. And turn it
into a junk store.
Copy !req
129. That's not gonna happen.
Two big banks just came in...
Copy !req
130. And they rescued Cole's,
so you better
check your sources.
Copy !req
131. But Cole's has to
pay them back plus interest.
Copy !req
132. If they don't sell
a lot of stuff at Christmas,
Copy !req
133. you can
forget about it, pal.
Copy !req
134. Oh. Well, I think
you should ask
Santa claus...
Copy !req
135. To give Cole's
an interest-free loan
for Christmas.
Copy !req
136. What do you think
about that?
Copy !req
137. - That's a good one.
- You know what?
It might happen.
Copy !req
138. I mean, Santa claus, he does
some pretty amazing things.
Copy !req
139. Bryan, you know what?
Copy !req
140. I know.
Copy !req
141. You know what?
The secret.
Copy !req
142. - What secret?
- Santa claus.
Copy !req
143. I've known
for a long time.
Copy !req
144. He's not real.
Copy !req
145. - Says who?
- My mom.
Copy !req
146. Hi. I believe you have
something of mine.
Copy !req
147. About four foot tall,
brown hair,
Copy !req
148. talks like she's
64 years old?
Copy !req
149. Hey. Hi!
Copy !req
150. Hi!
Hi!
Copy !req
151. So, what do you think?
Copy !req
152. It's a good one.
Yeah?
Copy !req
153. Did Santa claus
come by yet?
Nope.
Copy !req
154. Is it
Tony falacchi again?
Copy !req
155. No, Tony
had to leave.
Bombed?
Copy !req
156. Yes.
It's the pressure.
Copy !req
157. But you know what?
I got this new guy,
Copy !req
158. and he really looks
like the real thing.
Copy !req
159. Maybe he is.
Copy !req
160. Are you still
coming to dinner?
Copy !req
161. Am I still invited?
Yes.
Copy !req
162. - Then I'm coming.
- Honey, would you run home
and put the camera stuff away?
Copy !req
163. - I'll put the stuff away.
You keep watching.
- Okay.
Copy !req
164. Let her finish
watching the parade.
Come on.
Copy !req
165. Santa hasn't even
come by yet.
Copy !req
166. Well, as soon as Santa does
come by, I would like for you
to come home, all right?
Copy !req
167. Sure. That's the end
of the parade anyway.
Copy !req
168. There's nothing else to see
except guys cleaning up
horse poop.
Copy !req
169. And that doesn't
thrill me at all.
Copy !req
170. Hello!
Merry Christmas!
Copy !req
171. Hello?
Copy !req
172. Jack?
Yes, sir.
Copy !req
173. I've been watching
the parade.
Copy !req
174. It looks bigger
than last year.
Copy !req
175. What is
the crowd estimate?
Well, sir,
Copy !req
176. cops say
over a million.
Copy !req
177. Last year it was
about 750.
Copy !req
178. Have marketing
come up with a giveaway,
Copy !req
179. something free.
Copy !req
180. I don't want a crowd
outside Cole's
in the morning.
Copy !req
181. I hate to say this,
Mr. landbergh.
Copy !req
182. But Cole's has got
one hell of a Santa claus
this year.
Copy !req
183. If I didn't know better,
I'd say he was
the real article.
Copy !req
184. Keep an eye on this,
Mr. duff.
Copy !req
185. These small,
seemingly insignificant
sentimental anachronisms...
Copy !req
186. Can be surprisingly
potent.
Copy !req
187. I don't want my plans damaged
by an elderly cherub
in a red suit.
Copy !req
188. I'm on it, sir.
Copy !req
189. Bye-bye!
Copy !req
190. There we go.
Ooh! Aah!
Copy !req
191. Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Copy !req
192. Happy Thanksgiving.
Copy !req
193. You know, this is
kind of like tv.
Copy !req
194. Except I'd need
a brother and a dog.
Copy !req
195. And Bryan
would be the dad.
Copy !req
196. - Mr. bedford.
- He said I could
call him Bryan.
Copy !req
197. - Only if it's okay
with your mom.
- It's fine.
Copy !req
198. Bryan would be the dad,
you'd be the mom,
and we'd need...
Copy !req
199. Either a kind of
fat person who's our cook...
Copy !req
200. Or a neighbor who's always
at our house.
Copy !req
201. You know, that's not
very interesting.
Copy !req
202. Why don't we talk
about something else?
For the chef.
Copy !req
203. In the loosest
sense of the word.
Copy !req
204. In every sense
of the word.
Copy !req
205. The vegetables
are catered.
So was dessert.
Copy !req
206. - Thank you, Susan.
- You're welcome.
Copy !req
207. Do we give blessings
in this house?
Copy !req
208. Not unless my grandparents
are here.
Copy !req
209. Would you mind if I did?
It's kind of a tradition
with me.
Copy !req
210. Oh. Fine.
Copy !req
211. We give thanks
for the food before us...
Copy !req
212. And the closeness
of the people we love.
Copy !req
213. We pray that these gifts
we so gratefully receive...
Copy !req
214. Will be shared
with those less fortunate...
Than ourselves.
Copy !req
215. Amen.
Amen.
Copy !req
216. All right.
Let's eat.
Copy !req
217. I slaved all day.
Copy !req
218. They really
outdid themselves.
Copy !req
219. You have
a very nice name.
Copy !req
220. One of my elves is married
to a fellow called Daniel.
Copy !req
221. Do you know what you want
for Christmas?
Yup.
Copy !req
222. I want a Peter polliwog
patrol frog that swims
and blows up.
Copy !req
223. Gosh, that sounds great.
Psst.
Copy !req
224. Psst.
Can mother have a word
with Santa, please?
Copy !req
225. Yes, of course.
Just a minute.
Copy !req
226. Don't make me look bad.
Them things cost 70 bucks.
Copy !req
227. He just looked at them.
Copy !req
228. I tell you what.
Shopper's express have
got them on sale...
Copy !req
229. At $34.99.
Copy !req
230. With a five dollar rebate,
that's reasonable enough,
isn't it?
Copy !req
231. Yeah. Thanks.
Copy !req
232. But let me ask you a question.
Since when is Cole's sending
customers someplace else?
Copy !req
233. Oh, I don't think it matters
where the toys are sold...
Copy !req
234. As long as it makes
the children happy.
Copy !req
235. I'm sure the people
in this store believe
exactly the same as I do.
Copy !req
236. Yeah.
Yeah, that's the spirit.
Thanks, Santa.
Copy !req
237. Merry Christmas to you.
Thank you. Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
238. Now then, young man,
if you're a very good boy...
Copy !req
239. And do exactly
what your mommy tells you,
Copy !req
240. you're going to have
a Peter polliwog
for Christmas.
Copy !req
241. Bye, Santa.
Bye-bye.
Copy !req
242. Bye-bye, Daniel.
Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
243. Come on, then.
Come on. Right.
Copy !req
244. Up here on my—
that's it, on my knee.
Now, then.
Copy !req
245. You the boss?
Copy !req
246. I'm general manager
of the store.
Copy !req
247. My kid just asked Santa
for a barf gun, and the Santa
said he'd get it for him.
Copy !req
248. I hope the boy likes it.
They're over there
by the elevator.
Copy !req
249. And they're 90 bucks
without batteries or barf.
Copy !req
250. Prices do go up.
Apparently not
at bargain village.
Copy !req
251. $52.50, and they
throw in the batteries.
I find it hard to believe...
Copy !req
252. Cole's could be undersold
by that much.
Copy !req
253. Yeah.
Where did you get
your information from?
Copy !req
254. From your Santa claus.
Copy !req
255. We don't have them,
but if you go out of here,
Copy !req
256. turn to the right
and then two blocks down—
Copy !req
257. Excuse me?
Your Santa's telling
everybody where to go shop.
Copy !req
258. If you don't got it
or it's too expensive here,
he's sending people...
Copy !req
259. - To where they can get it,
and at the right price.
- You're serious?
Copy !req
260. - Absolutely.
- Madam, will you
excuse me for a moment?
Copy !req
261. You tell your Santa claus
that he made a Cole's shopper
out of me.
Copy !req
262. I'm coming here
for everything but
toilet paper and bananas.
Copy !req
263. Any store that puts the parent
ahead of the almighty buck
at Christmas...
Copy !req
264. Deserves my business,
and you can tell Mr. Cole
that his Santa claus...
Copy !req
265. Ought to get a raise.
Copy !req
266. You want me
to go with you
to the chairman...
Copy !req
267. And pitch an idea
that you got
from Santa claus?
Copy !req
268. If Cole's doesn't have
what you're looking for,
Copy !req
269. we'll find it for you,
even if it means sending you
somewhere else.
Copy !req
270. - How does that sound?
- It sounds like a great way
to go out of business.
Copy !req
271. You know that house
in the country where we
do the catalog shoot?
Copy !req
272. You wanted to buy it.
Yes.
Copy !req
273. If this works, we're probably
looking at a bonus.
Copy !req
274. - And if he hates the idea?
- We're no worse off.
Copy !req
275. If we don't turn this store
around, we're all out, from
the chairman to the janitor.
Copy !req
276. Let's do it.
Copy !req
277. I... like it.
Copy !req
278. It's bold, it's fresh,
Copy !req
279. it will drive
Victor landbergh nuts.
Copy !req
280. %% it's beginning to look
a lot like Christmas %%
Copy !req
281. %% soon the bells will start %%
Copy !req
282. %% and the thing that will
make them ring %%
Copy !req
283. %% is the Carol
that you sing %%
Copy !req
284. %% right within your heart %%
Copy !req
285. %% it's beginning to look
a lot like Christmas %%
Copy !req
286. why? Why didn't you
think of this?
Copy !req
287. Now, if this campaign
is successful, and I know
in my gut it will be,
Copy !req
288. Cole's is gonna make
a lot of money.
Copy !req
289. Now, the more money they make,
the harder it is going to be...
Copy !req
290. For me
to buy them out.
Copy !req
291. Now, I want something
done about this.
Copy !req
292. When I call your name,
it'll be your turn
to talk to Santa.
Copy !req
293. Just a few more minutes,
and you'll get to see
Santa claus too.
Copy !req
294. Okay, go ahead.
Copy !req
295. This seems like a pretty
pointless exercise, Bryan.
Copy !req
296. I know, but I just thought
as long as we were here,
Copy !req
297. we might as well stop by
and say hello
to the old guy.
Copy !req
298. Look at him.
Why?
Copy !req
299. Let's just say for the sake
of argument that there is
a Santa claus...
Copy !req
300. And that you
don't believe in him.
Copy !req
301. Is it worth the risk that you
might not get anything
for Christmas this year?
Copy !req
302. Well, I didn't believe in him
last year, and I still got...
Copy !req
303. Everything I asked
my mother for.
Copy !req
304. Yeah.
Copy !req
305. You get a free
candy cane?
Copy !req
306. I'm trying to limit
my intake of sugar.
Copy !req
307. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
308. You can go see Santa now.
Okay, come on.
Copy !req
309. Go ahead.
Copy !req
310. Nice to meet you.
Bye-bye.
Copy !req
311. Bye-bye, darlin'.
Copy !req
312. Hello, sir.
Oh, how do you do?
Copy !req
313. Would you like to come
and sit on my knee?
Copy !req
314. Good. Up we go.
There we are.
Now then, what's your name?
Copy !req
315. Susan Elizabeth Walker.
What's yours?
Copy !req
316. Mine?
Copy !req
317. Well, I have
lots of names.
Copy !req
318. Uh, kriss kringle,
Santa claus, father Christmas,
St. Nicholas.
Copy !req
319. If you were in Holland,
I'd besinterklaas.
Copy !req
320. Or in Italy,
la befana.
Copy !req
321. I have to speak
many languages,
because, of course,
Copy !req
322. I travel, as you know,
a great deal.
Copy !req
323. That's Russian.
Copy !req
324. That's Swahili.
Copy !req
325. My mother's Mrs. Walker.
She's director of
special events for Cole's.
Copy !req
326. Uh-huh.
She runs
the parade.
Copy !req
327. Oh.
I know how
this all works.
Copy !req
328. You're an employee
of Cole's.
Copy !req
329. That is true.
But you're a very good
Santa claus.
Copy !req
330. Thank you.
Your beard's
stuck on real tight.
Copy !req
331. Usually the store Santa claus
whiskers are too loose.
Copy !req
332. Right.
But yours
look realistic.
Copy !req
333. Because they are real.
You give them a tug.
Copy !req
334. Whoo!
Copy !req
335. - Are you convinced?
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
336. Good.
This isn't the regular
Santa suit, is it?
Copy !req
337. Oh, no. This is
the real Santa suit.
Copy !req
338. It's very nice.
I agree.
It's lovely.
Copy !req
339. Gold buttons, gold thread.
Copy !req
340. It's as real as me.
Copy !req
341. Well, you ask your daddy
if I'm real.
Copy !req
342. - I don't know where he is.
- Well, he's, uh—
Copy !req
343. that's my friend,
Mr. bedford.
Copy !req
344. I don't have a dad
anymore.
Copy !req
345. Oh.
Copy !req
346. Well, now, what can I
get you for Christmas?
Copy !req
347. - Nothing, thank you.
- Nothing?
Copy !req
348. My mother buys my gifts.
If I don't want something
too stupid...
Copy !req
349. Or dangerous or—
Copy !req
350. hi, mom.
Copy !req
351. Good morning, Mrs. Walker.
It's nice
to see you again.
Copy !req
352. - Thank you, thank you.
- I think you've taken
enough of this man's time.
Copy !req
353. There's a very long
line of customers,
and they do come first.
Copy !req
354. Nice to
meet you, Susan.
Copy !req
355. Nice to meet you too.
Copy !req
356. Bye-bye.
Copy !req
357. Nonbelievers.
Copy !req
358. Right.
Copy !req
359. If I felt that it was
important for her
to see Santa claus,
Copy !req
360. I would be
more than happy
to take her.
Copy !req
361. I didn't see any harm
in her saying hello
to an interesting old man.
Copy !req
362. Well, there is harm.
I tell her...
Copy !req
363. That there is
no Santa claus.
Copy !req
364. Mm-hmm.
So you bring her down here
and she sees...
Copy !req
365. Thousands of gullible kids,
and she meets an actor—
a very good actor, mind you—
Copy !req
366. with a real beard
and a beautiful
Santa suit,
Copy !req
367. sitting smack dab in the center
of a child's fantasy world.
Copy !req
368. So, who does she believe?
Copy !req
369. The myth...
Copy !req
370. Or the mom?
Copy !req
371. Listen, I just got
some mistletoe.
Copy !req
372. Why don't we go back
to my place and try it out?
Copy !req
373. No, I don't think so.
Copy !req
374. Okay.
Copy !req
375. I'm here. I can help.
All you have to do is ask.
Copy !req
376. Well, actually,
there is one thing.
Copy !req
377. Would you mind
taking Susan home?
Copy !req
378. Sure.
Copy !req
379. The reason I haven't
been to see you is...
Copy !req
380. I'm working at Cole's.
Copy !req
381. All I have to do
is to be myself.
Copy !req
382. There you are.
That's it.
Copy !req
383. There you go.
There you go.
Copy !req
384. Excuse me.
- Oh?
Copy !req
385. Good evening.
Good evening.
My name is Jack duff.
Copy !req
386. How do you do?
Very well, thank you.
This is alberta Leonard.
Copy !req
387. - How do you do?
- Pleasure.
Copy !req
388. Nice to meet you both.
I'm kriss kringle.
Copy !req
389. Well, Mr. kringle,
Copy !req
390. we're with shopper's express,
the department store.
Copy !req
391. Oh, yes. You've got
the Peter polliwog on sale.
Copy !req
392. Right.
Yes, we do.
Copy !req
393. We want you to be
our main Santa claus.
Copy !req
394. We have over
7,000 stores worldwide,
Copy !req
395. but you would be
the number one guy.
Copy !req
396. Well, I'm sorry
to disappoint you,
Copy !req
397. but the people at Cole's
have already hired me.
Copy !req
398. In fact, I've
signed a contract.
Copy !req
399. If you would excuse me,
it is getting a bit late.
Copy !req
400. - Could we give you a ride?
- That's very kind of you,
but I can walk.
Copy !req
401. - I mean, it's probably
out of your way.
- Where are you going?
Copy !req
402. 114th street.
The mount carmel
senior center.
Copy !req
403. We're going right by it.
It's on our way.
Copy !req
404. Well, thank you so much.
Uh, bye-bye, prancer.
Copy !req
405. Bye-bye, dancer.
Copy !req
406. So, tell me, Santa,
how does one guy...
Copy !req
407. Get to every house
around the world
in one night?
Copy !req
408. Ah, yes.
Well, now, that is...
Copy !req
409. A vexing question,
isn't it?
Copy !req
410. But you see, if you could
slow time down...
Copy !req
411. So that a second
became a year, a minute
became a century...
Copy !req
412. And an hour became
a millennium,
Copy !req
413. well, you could manage it
quite easily, couldn't you?
Copy !req
414. Mind you, I remember before—
well, 100 years ago before
the population explosion,
Copy !req
415. I could manage to deliver
all my goods and have
enough time left over...
Copy !req
416. For a late supper, a nap...
Copy !req
417. And a round of golf
with the easter bunny.
Copy !req
418. He winters
in New Zealand, you know.
Copy !req
419. Thank you both
very much indeed.
Copy !req
420. And merry Christmas to you,
miss Leonard.
Copy !req
421. Merry, merry Christmas to you,
Mr. duff.
Copy !req
422. Same to you, sir.
Thank you very much.
Copy !req
423. Good night.
Copy !req
424. He's completely
out of his mind.
Copy !req
425. Imagine Cole's having a guy
as nutty as that.
Copy !req
426. He could become
a problem for them.
Copy !req
427. I know
what you mean.
Copy !req
428. Nice to meet you.
Good-bye now.
Copy !req
429. You don't think
he's nuts, do you?
Hmm?
Copy !req
430. Well, he believes
he's Santa claus.
Absolutely, he believes it.
Copy !req
431. Maybe that's why he's good
at it. What difference
does it make?
Copy !req
432. Have you looked
at our stocks?
They're through the roof.
Copy !req
433. Sales are up 70 percent
over last holiday.
Copy !req
434. In a week, this company
has turned around.
Copy !req
435. And we could go the other way
just as fast if this guy
does anything wrong.
Copy !req
436. What's he gonna do?
We don't know.
Copy !req
437. If the fate of the entire
company rests on one
very unstable old man,
Copy !req
438. I think you're
celebrating our return
just a little too soon.
Copy !req
439. I'm not worried.
Copy !req
440. Hello, little one.
How are you?
Copy !req
441. Come. Well.
She's deaf.
Copy !req
442. You don't
have to talk to her.
She just wanted to see you.
Copy !req
443. Thank you.
Copy !req
444. You are a very...
Copy !req
445. Beautiful young lady.
Copy !req
446. What's your name?
Copy !req
447. Sammy.
Copy !req
448. That's a beautiful name.
Copy !req
449. Now, I tell you what.
Copy !req
450. Do you know
"jingle bells" ?
Copy !req
451. %% jingle bells, jingle bells
jingle all the way %%
Copy !req
452. %% oh, what fun
it is to ride %%
Copy !req
453. %%
%% on a one-horse open sleigh %%
Copy !req
454. Very good.
Copy !req
455. Darling, what would you
like for Christmas?
Copy !req
456. A doll and a bear?
Copy !req
457. Well, you shall
have them, Sammy.
Copy !req
458. I wish you
a merry Christmas.
Copy !req
459. Thank you.
Thank you.
Copy !req
460. Bye-bye.
Copy !req
461. Bye.
Copy !req
462. What are you doing
out of bed?
Copy !req
463. Something's driving me crazy,
and I can't sleep.
Copy !req
464. Well, what's
on your mind?
Santa claus.
Copy !req
465. Mr. kringle?
Why? What about him?
Copy !req
466. He talked sign language
with a kid today.
Copy !req
467. Oh. That was
considerate of him.
Copy !req
468. It's weird how he knows
so much about toys and kids.
Mmm.
Copy !req
469. He speaks Russian
and Swahili.
Copy !req
470. Well, he must be quite
a learned man.
Copy !req
471. He looks exactly like
every picture of Santa claus
I ever saw.
Copy !req
472. Yes, I know.
That's why I chose him.
Copy !req
473. You're positive he's not
the real Santa claus?
Copy !req
474. I thought that we
talked about this.
Copy !req
475. You understand
what he is.
Copy !req
476. What if we we're wrong?
That would be
extremely rude.
Copy !req
477. Well, we're not
wrong, sweetheart.
Copy !req
478. But all my friends
believe in Santa claus.
Copy !req
479. Well, most children
your age do.
Copy !req
480. How come I don't?
Copy !req
481. Because you know
the truth,
Copy !req
482. and truth is one of
the most important things
in the world—
Copy !req
483. to know the truth and always
be truthful with others,
and more importantly,
Copy !req
484. with yourself.
Copy !req
485. And believing in myths
and fantasies...
Copy !req
486. Just makes you...
Unhappy.
Copy !req
487. Did you believe
in Santa claus
when you were my age?
Copy !req
488. - Yes.
- Were you unhappy?
Copy !req
489. Well, when all the things
that I believed in...
Copy !req
490. Turned out
not to be true,
Copy !req
491. yes, I was unhappy.
Copy !req
492. Would it be okay if I
thought about this some more?
Copy !req
493. Do I have to not believe
in Santa claus right away?
Copy !req
494. Come here.
Copy !req
495. You have the right
to believe...
Copy !req
496. Whatever you want
to believe.
Copy !req
497. Now, I've told you
the truth, but if
I am wrong,
Copy !req
498. I would be
glad to admit it.
Copy !req
499. I'll tell you what.
You ask Mr. kringle...
Copy !req
500. For something that you
would never ask me for,
Copy !req
501. and if on Christmas morning
you don't get it,
Copy !req
502. you will know once and for all
the honest truth
about Santa claus.
Copy !req
503. That's a very
clever idea.
Copy !req
504. Thank you.
Now, you think you can
get some sleep?
Copy !req
505. Yep.
Yeah?
Give me a kiss.
Copy !req
506. Good night.
I love you.
Copy !req
507. - I love you.
Good night.
- Good night.
Copy !req
508. %% Christmas %%
Copy !req
509. %% Christmas %%
Copy !req
510. %% Christmas %%

Copy !req
516. Hey! Hey!
Can I get another beer?
Copy !req
517. Boy, that Cole's,
they dealt me
the high hard one.
Copy !req
518. I did a good job
for them last year,
and this year,
Copy !req
519. they gave me the—
The royal fist.
Copy !req
520. So, they just
gave you the shaft.
Copy !req
521. They didn't have any grounds
on which to dismiss you.
Copy !req
522. That broad that runs
the parade every year—
Copy !req
523. one of these college kids
with a three ounce brain
and 50 tons of attitude—
Copy !req
524. She hires some wacko...
Copy !req
525. Right off the street
to take my place.
Copy !req
526. Some wacko?
Tell me about him.
Copy !req
527. The old man?
He's a loon.
Copy !req
528. - I mean, we got thousands
of 'em in this city.
- I'll say.
Copy !req
529. Never had one of them
take my job, though.
Copy !req
530. Hey, Tony,
did you have any contact
with this old guy?
Copy !req
531. Contact?
The guy came up on the float
and got right up in my face.
Copy !req
532. - So, he got
aggressive with you?
- He had a cane.
Copy !req
533. He tried to whack me
over the head
with the cane.
Copy !req
534. He tried to whack you
with a cane?
Copy !req
535. Isn't that what
I just said?
Copy !req
536. Tony, this'll
make you feel better.
Copy !req
537. I've got a little job
I want you to do for me.
Copy !req
538. Uh—
what, uh—
Copy !req
539. what kind of job
you have in mind?
Copy !req
540. - You'll see.
Copy !req
541. Just be yourself.
Copy !req
542. Don't even think
about the camera.
You'll be just fine.
Copy !req
543. Right. I must confess
I don't quite know...
Copy !req
544. Why they're making
such a fuss about me.
Copy !req
545. Well, this is
the holiday season, and you're
Santa claus, right?
Copy !req
546. To many, yes, but to others
I'm just an old man
with a white beard.
Copy !req
547. Yes, but you're still
the symbol of the season.
Copy !req
548. You think I'm
a fraud, don't you?
Copy !req
549. I think fraud is a bit
too strong of a word.
But you don't believe in me.
Copy !req
550. I believe that Christmas
is for children.
Copy !req
551. Well, your daughter
doesn't believe in me either.
Copy !req
552. I don't think that there's
any harm in not believing
in a figure...
Copy !req
553. That many do acknowledge
to be a fiction.
Copy !req
554. Oh, but there is.
Copy !req
555. I'm not just a whimsical
figure who, uh,
Copy !req
556. wears a charming suit and
affects a jolly demeanor.
Copy !req
557. You know, I-I—
I'm a symbol.
Copy !req
558. I'm a symbol
of the human ability
to be able to...
Copy !req
559. Suppress the selfish
and hateful tendencies...
Copy !req
560. That rule the major part
of our lives.
Copy !req
561. If you can't believe,
Copy !req
562. if you can't accept
anything... on faith,
Copy !req
563. then you're doomed for a life
dominated by doubt.
Copy !req
564. I like you very much,
Mrs. Walker.
Copy !req
565. You're a fine woman.
And you know,
Copy !req
566. I think you'll make
an excellent test case for me—
you and your daughter.
Copy !req
567. If I could
make you believe,
Copy !req
568. then there'd be
some hope for me.
Copy !req
569. If I can't,
Copy !req
570. well, I'm finished.
Copy !req
571. Shall we go?
Copy !req
572. Five, four, three,
two, one.
Copy !req
573. I'm kriss kringle, and I'm
at Cole's department store
in New York City.
Copy !req
574. Good morning, America.
Copy !req
575. No, Mr. kringle's time
is extremely limited.
Copy !req
576. Sorry. Mr. bedford's
on line three.
Copy !req
577. No, he can't
do private sessions.
Copy !req
578. Can you hold
for just a moment?
Yeah, hang on.
Copy !req
579. Hi, Bryan. I have
the mayor's office on hold.
What's up?
Copy !req
580. If I can arrange a really,
really good baby-sitter
for tonight,
Copy !req
581. do you wanna do some shopping
and have dinner?
Copy !req
582. Well, I-I'm not sure
what I'm—
Copy !req
583. - I don't know if I
can get Celia tonight.
- I'll take care of it.
Copy !req
584. - I'll see you at 7:00?
- Well, I-I-I'm not sure what—
Copy !req
585. okay, fine.
7:00. Bye.
Copy !req
586. Whoa, back.
Who is this one now?
Copy !req
587. This is dancer.
He's a bit slow.
Copy !req
588. Not very good
with his food.
Poor old dancer.
Copy !req
589. Oh. Good evening,
Mrs. Walker.
Copy !req
590. Good evening,
Mr. kringle.
Copy !req
591. Nobody at school's gonna
believe this one, huh?
Copy !req
592. Well, if you have to
have a baby-sitter,
who's better qualified?
Copy !req
593. Yes.
Copy !req
594. Yeah.
Copy !req
595. %% [ "Have yourself a merry
little Christmas"
instrumental ]
Copy !req
596. %% [ "Have yourself a merry
little Christmas" ]
Copy !req
597. Pretty, isn't it?
There really has to be something
you want for Christmas.
Copy !req
598. I'm very good
at keeping secrets,
you know.
Copy !req
599. Come on, tell me.
Copy !req
600. Oh. What's this?
Copy !req
601. Gosh.
Copy !req
602. That's what I want
for Christmas—
Copy !req
603. a house, a brother
and a dad.
Copy !req
604. That's all
I ever want.
Copy !req
605. Oh.
If you're really
Santa claus,
Copy !req
606. you can get it for me.
Copy !req
607. If you can't, you're just
a nice man with a white beard
like my mother says.
Copy !req
608. Oh, Susan. Just because
every child doesn't get
his or her wish...
Copy !req
609. Doesn't mean
there's not a Santa claus.
Copy !req
610. I thought you might
say that.
Copy !req
611. Did you?
Yes.
Copy !req
612. Well, a house is
a very big order.
Copy !req
613. And very expensive.
Copy !req
614. And a baby—
well, a baby takes, uh,
Copy !req
615. almost a year
to, uh—
Copy !req
616. nine months.
More if the lady's late.
Copy !req
617. Less if the baby's
a preemie.
Copy !req
618. Right.
And a father—
Copy !req
619. I mean, no one can give
anybody a father.
Copy !req
620. If Santa claus really can
make reindeer fly and go
up and down people's chimneys...
Copy !req
621. And make millions of toys
and go all around the world
in one night,
Copy !req
622. he could get
somebody a house
and a brother...
Copy !req
623. And a dad, right?
Copy !req
624. Right. Right, yes.
I suppose he— he could.
Copy !req
625. I don't think I'll ever
get those things,
so it's no big deal.
Copy !req
626. Oh.
Copy !req
627. Well, um, perhaps I could
keep this paper, could I?
Copy !req
628. - Sure.
- Well, good night,
little angel.
Copy !req
629. Good night.
Copy !req
630. - Good night, Susan.
- Good night, Mr. kringle.
Copy !req
631. A family for Christmas.
Copy !req
632. I don't think so.
Copy !req
633. No, really.
I mean—
Copy !req
634. See, that wasn't
so bad, huh?
I had a great time.
Copy !req
635. You need to get out.
That's what your problem is.
Copy !req
636. You need to forget work,
forget all those things that you
have to do and go out with me.
Copy !req
637. But you understand
why I didn't.
Copy !req
638. Sometimes I think I do,
sometimes I think I don't.
Copy !req
639. Well, you are
a very patient man.
Copy !req
640. Most guys are gone after
a few months of me.
Copy !req
641. Oh, so you admit
that you're rough on men.
Copy !req
642. No, I'm not just
rough on men.
Copy !req
643. Yeah, I admit it.
Copy !req
644. I'm careful.
At this point in my life,
Copy !req
645. I really don't need
to be disappointed.
Copy !req
646. Do you want one of your
Christmas presents early?
I got you a present,
Copy !req
647. and I want to
give it to you.
Copy !req
648. What is it?
Do you want it early?
Copy !req
649. Well, yes.
Copy !req
650. What is it?
Copy !req
651. Open it.
Copy !req
652. It's an engagement ring.
Copy !req
653. If I've given you...
Copy !req
654. A false impression
of this relationship,
Copy !req
655. I'm very sorry.
Copy !req
656. Are you serious?
Copy !req
657. Have I ever given you
any sign...
Copy !req
658. That I wanted
to marry you?
Copy !req
659. No.
Then tell me,
Copy !req
660. what ever possessed you
to make such a presumption?
Copy !req
661. You know, I've done
everything I could to try
to make you happy.
Copy !req
662. I love your daughter
like she's my own,
Copy !req
663. I loved you, getting
nothing in return,
Copy !req
664. never asking
for anything in return.
Copy !req
665. I put my faith in you.
Copy !req
666. Well, if that's true,
Copy !req
667. then you're a fool.
Copy !req
668. Good evening.
Taxi, please.
Certainly.
Copy !req
669. Mr. bedford.
Kriss.
Copy !req
670. How was your night
as a baby-sitter?
Oh, very pleasant.
Copy !req
671. - Yeah, Susan's a good kid.
- Yes.
Copy !req
672. Delightful, delightful.
Copy !req
673. Well, how was it?
Copy !req
674. - I gave her
an engagement ring.
- Oh. Oh.
Copy !req
675. - She didn't like it very much.
- Well, perhaps your timing
wasn't particularly good.
Copy !req
676. No. Not at all.
Copy !req
677. She's— she's, um,
a sad sort of person.
Copy !req
678. It's a pity, really.
I mean, she's very kind.
Copy !req
679. But she's terribly careful
about her emotions.
Hmm.
Copy !req
680. What I know about dorey
is pieced together...
Copy !req
681. From fragments
of a dozen conversations.
Copy !req
682. She was married in college,
he had a drinking problem,
Copy !req
683. and right after Susan was born,
he took off and hasn't
been heard of since.
Copy !req
684. Hmm.
She's filled with these—
Copy !req
685. these bitter
thoughts, and—
Copy !req
686. the worst part about it
is that she's dragging
Susan into this with her.
Copy !req
687. Yes. Well, Susan
is struggling with it.
Copy !req
688. But I get the feeling
she really does want to
believe in me, you know?
Copy !req
689. She's a good girl.
She's loyal to her
mother's wishes.
Copy !req
690. I can't fault that.
Copy !req
691. But of course, if I can't
convince the mother,
Copy !req
692. I have no hope
of convincing the child.
Copy !req
693. Tooth fairy told me that.
Copy !req
694. - Well, your cab's
here, kriss.
Copy !req
695. Oh.
Copy !req
696. I always wondered what guys
who have to return
engagement rings...
Copy !req
697. Say to the sales clerk
at the jewelry store.
Copy !req
698. Now I don't wanna know.
Copy !req
699. I'm sure in your line of work
you can find some lucky guy
to give this to.
Copy !req
700. It's very generous
of you, but I—
Copy !req
701. I don't think this ring
will ever fit anyone
other than Mrs. Walker.
Copy !req
702. I'm sure
you'll find somebody.
Copy !req
703. I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I'll get over it.
Copy !req
704. And Susan?
Copy !req
705. Well, I know what you
want for Christmas now.
Copy !req
706. - I'll see what I can do.
- Good night.
Copy !req
707. Good night.
Copy !req
708. Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Copy !req
709. Come on, it's your turn
to go up now. Go ahead.
Copy !req
710. Hello.
Copy !req
711. What do you want
for Christmas?
A bike.
Copy !req
712. Excuse me, sir.
Could you please
step aside?
Copy !req
713. This is
for the children.
Copy !req
714. Hot little helper
you got here, huh, Santa?
Copy !req
715. She the one that puts
the, uh, twinkle in your eye?
Copy !req
716. Hey, kids,
Copy !req
717. you see that guy
up there?
Copy !req
718. He's not really Santa claus.
He doesn't even live
at the north pole.
Copy !req
719. He lives
in a nursing home
on 114th street.
Copy !req
720. You know what he is?
Copy !req
721. He's a big, fat fake!
Copy !req
722. Yeah. Just a fake.

you're Cole's Santa claus!

Copy !req

Copy !req
746. Clear the way, folks, please.
Copy !req
747. All right, folks.
Show's over.
Copy !req
748. Please, step back.
Take it easy, officer.
Copy !req
749. You might want to clear
the kids out of the room...
Copy !req

this next story.
Copy !req
751. It appears that New York's
most famous Santa claus
has a mean streak.
Copy !req
752. The centerpiece of
c.F. Cole's big holiday ad push
is behind bars this morning.
Copy !req
753. Plans regarding
a replacement for Mr. kringle.
Copy !req
754. The spokesperson did say,
however, that for at least
the remainder of today,
Copy !req
755. there will be no Santa claus
at the 34th street store.
Copy !req
756. Without any apparent
provocation,
Copy !req
757. struck him repeatedly
with a walking stick.
Copy !req
758. Police arrived within moments
and arrested kringle.
Copy !req
759. Planning to take your children
to the store today, take note.
Copy !req
760. There will be no Santa claus
at the 34th street store.
Copy !req
761. C.F. Cole's competitors
are having the last laugh
this morning.

Copy !req

Copy !req
775. I know.
I saw the papers.
Copy !req
776. I want you to help him.
He's at bellevue, and I
don't know what's happening.
Copy !req
777. He's alone,
and he shouldn't be.
Copy !req
778. What's Cole's position?
Do the attorneys
have an opinion?
Copy !req
779. This isn't about Cole's.
This is about a man...
Copy !req

very wrong done to him.

Somebody... you believe in.

a moment for ed Collins?
- Send him in.
Copy !req
784. Thanks.
Copy !req
785. How are you, Eddie?
What can I do for you?
How are you?
Copy !req
786. Fine.
Just the commitment papers
for Cole's Santa.
Copy !req
787. Oh, boy,
that's a shocker, huh?
Copy !req
788. The press is having
a field day.
"Age unknown."
Copy !req
789. Old man, is he?
Very old, your honor.
Copy !req
790. Am I going to have
to read all this?
Copy !req
791. No, it's a slam dunk.
The guy's out of his mind.
We'd like it over quick.
Copy !req
792. "We" ?
Victor.
Copy !req
793. - "Victor" ?
- Landbergh.
Copy !req
794. - Oh, yes.
- There.
Copy !req
795. Well, justice will have
to prevail, of course.
Copy !req
796. Oh, of course.
Copy !req
797. Yes, justice
will have to prevail.
As always.
Copy !req
798. Money makes the world
go around, Eddie.
Copy !req
799. Yes, it does, your honor.
It sure does.
Copy !req
800. By the way, Mr. lanbergh
wanted me to tell you...
Copy !req
801. That he's very well aware
of your, uh, reelection campaign
coming up this spring.
Copy !req
802. Tell him I would welcome
his support.
Copy !req
803. Will do.
Copy !req
804. Come in.
Copy !req
805. - A Mr. bedford's here
to see you.
- Who?
Copy !req
806. He represents Mr. kringle.
Copy !req
807. Send him in.
Copy !req
808. Your honor, there seems to be
some undue haste in this case.
Copy !req
809. I wish to protect
my client's rights,
as I'm sure you do.
Copy !req
810. - Mr. prosecutor, this is, uh—
- Bryan bedford.
Copy !req
811. Ed Collins.
Copy !req
812. If your honor pleases,
I request a formal hearing
where I may bring witnesses.
Copy !req
813. You can sign
the commitment papers
now if you like,
Copy !req
814. but I'll bring in
habeas corpus this afternoon.
Copy !req
815. We'll have a hearing.
Copy !req
816. Thursday morning,
9:00 A.M. ?
Copy !req
817. Thank you, sir.
Mr. Collins.
Copy !req
818. Mr. bedford.
Copy !req
819. I though you said the old man
didn't have an attorney.
Copy !req
820. What difference does it make?
It's gonna be a hearing,
not a jury trial.
Copy !req
821. You're the only one
that has to be convinced.
Yeah.
Copy !req
822. Have a good day, judge.
Copy !req
823. Wanna know something,
mister?
Copy !req
824. I don't believe it.
This guy ain't dangerous.
Copy !req
825. He may be off his rails
a little bit,
but he ain't no thug.
Copy !req
826. And if he wants
to call himself Santa claus,
then God bless him.
Copy !req
827. Hello, kriss.
Copy !req
828. Hello, Mr. bedford.
Copy !req
829. What brings you out
on a miserable day
like this?
Copy !req
830. A friend in need.
Copy !req
831. You failed your mental exam
on purpose, didn't you?
Copy !req
832. Why would I...
Do a thing like that?
Copy !req
833. I don't know.
Copy !req
834. Maybe you've served people
long enough.
Copy !req
835. Maybe you've given
all you have to give.
No.
Copy !req
836. Then why did you do it?
The charges against you
were dropped.
Copy !req
837. The man you hit
suffered no injury.
Copy !req
838. You could've been out of here
if you'd passed your exam.
Copy !req
839. I disgraced myself.
Copy !req
840. I read your transcript, kriss.
You defended your honor.
Copy !req
841. You stood up for the dignity
of every child.
Copy !req
842. That isn't a disgrace.
Copy !req
843. That's decency.
Copy !req
844. If I'm dismissed
as a crazy old man,
Copy !req
845. then the good name
of Santa claus is spared.
Copy !req
846. That isn't true.
Copy !req
847. If not for you,
there is no Santa claus.
You are him.
Copy !req
848. Crazy or not, here or gone,
you're Santa claus.
Copy !req
849. Only if the children
believe that.
Copy !req
850. And what kind of Santa claus
were they believing in anyway?
Copy !req
851. They can't
look to me anymore.
Copy !req
852. Not after knowing
what happened
the other night.
Copy !req
853. Well, think about
the other night.
Copy !req
854. A man was there
to photograph the incident?
Copy !req
855. The man you hit
was the man you replaced?
Copy !req
856. The cops told me this, kriss.
The cops believe in you.
Copy !req
857. A lot of people do.
Copy !req
858. More will
when we're finished.
Copy !req
859. Finished with what?
We're going to court.
Copy !req
860. There's a hearing Thursday
to decide if you're
to be committed.
Copy !req
861. I'm going to defend you.
Together, we're gonna prove
that there is a Santa claus...
Copy !req
862. And that you're him.
Copy !req
863. I'm ready, counselor.
Copy !req
864. Now, we have a few days
to distance ourselves...
Copy !req
865. From this scandal
and restart our advertising.
Copy !req
866. Uh, Mrs. Walker,
we are in conference.
Copy !req
867. I have just read
your press release.
Copy !req
868. You are all such
a bunch of cowards!
Copy !req
869. You really don't deserve
to run the store.
Copy !req
870. You are entirely
out of line, Mrs. Walker.
Copy !req
871. We have spent millions
telling people that
we are the store that cares.
Copy !req
872. Well, what is it
that we care about?
Copy !req
873. Profits? Ourselves?
Our jobs?
Copy !req
874. What about one of our own
who needs us now?
Copy !req
875. Well, what am I to do?
Copy !req
876. The public perception of kriss
is that he's out of his mind,
he's dangerous.
Copy !req
877. We have to change that.
Copy !req
878. If we stand with kriss,
Copy !req
879. if we challenge the rumors
and the scandal sheets,
Copy !req
880. if we force the truth,
we'll win.
Copy !req
881. He's going into court with...
Copy !req
882. The best attorney in the city,
Copy !req
883. and he's going to prove
that kriss is not crazy.
Copy !req
884. For the sake
of the whole company,
Copy !req
885. I think that all of you
should decide...
Copy !req
886. About whether or not you...
Copy !req
887. Believe in Santa claus.
Copy !req
888. Bring up two. Go.
Copy !req
889. For the last 75 years, Cole's
has invited Santa claus...
Copy !req
890. To meet and greet
the children of New York City
in our 34th street store.
Copy !req
891. Cole's believes in Santa claus,
Copy !req
892. and we will stand by him.
Copy !req
893. He has done nothing but serve
the children and the families
of New York City...
Copy !req
894. And the world.
Copy !req
895. We invite you to join with us
and ask yourself this
one simple question:
Copy !req
896. Do you believe
in Santa claus?
Copy !req
897. %% yes, sir %%
Copy !req
898. %% oh, yeah %%
Copy !req
899. %% joy to the world %%
Copy !req
900. %% joy to all the children %%
Copy !req
901. %% joy to all the people %%
Copy !req

Copy !req
908. How ya doin' ?
I have to confess,
I'm a bit uneasy.
Copy !req
909. Who's that character
in the grey suit?
Copy !req
910. That's the prosecutor.
Oh.
Copy !req
911. Anything I should know
about him?
Copy !req
912. Yeah. He doesn't
believe in Santa claus.
Copy !req
913. Ah.
All rise.
Copy !req
914. Oyez, oyez. Let all those
who have business before
this court come forward.
Copy !req
915. The honorable justice Harper
presiding. Draw near
and ye shall be heard.
Copy !req
916. You may sit.
Copy !req
917. Your honor, in the matter
of kriss kringle,
Copy !req
918. the commitment papers
are on your desk.
Copy !req
919. With your honor's permission,
I'd like to call
the first witness.
Copy !req
920. Mr. kringle, would you
please take the stand?
Copy !req
921. - It's okay.
Copy !req
922. Good morning, judge.
Copy !req
923. How's that
grandson of yours?
Copy !req
924. The parade.
Copy !req
925. He thought I looked
like Santa claus.
Copy !req
926. O-oh— oh, yes.
Copy !req
927. Do you swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?
Copy !req
928. Yes. Don't I put
my hand on a Bible?
No, sir, you don't.
Copy !req
929. Oh. Well, then, I'll put
my hand over my heart instead.
Copy !req
930. I do. I do!
Copy !req
931. Sit down, please.
Copy !req
932. What is your name?
Copy !req
933. Oh.
Copy !req
934. I'm so sorry.
I didn't introduce myself.
I do beg your pardon.
Copy !req
935. You're Mr. Collins.
I'm Mr. kringle.
Kriss kringle.
Copy !req
936. Order.
Copy !req
937. - Kriss kringle.
- Yes, double "k."
Copy !req
938. Tell me, Mr. kringle,
do you believe that
you are Santa claus?
Copy !req
939. Well, would I be here
if I didn't?
Copy !req
940. Just yes or no, Mr. kringle.
Do you believe that
you are Santa claus?
Copy !req
941. Yes, of course.
Copy !req
942. Santa claus.
Copy !req
943. Hmm.
Copy !req
944. State rests, your honor.
Copy !req
945. Mr. bedford, do you wish
to cross-examine the witness?
Copy !req
946. No further questions,
your honor.
Copy !req
947. - You may step down,
Mr. kringle.
- Oh, thank you.
Copy !req
948. Mr. bedford, in view
of your client's statement,
Copy !req
949. do you still wish
to put in a defense?
Copy !req
950. Yes, your honor.
Copy !req
951. I should like to call
my first witness.
Copy !req
952. Can you tell us your name?
Copy !req
953. My name is Daniel lowry.
Copy !req
954. And what'd you get
for Christmas last year?
Copy !req
955. Um, a bike, and, um—
Copy !req
956. - and who gave you the bike?
- Him.
Copy !req
957. What's his name?
- Santa claus.
Copy !req
958. Are you sure
he's Santa claus?
Yep.
Copy !req
959. How can you be sure?
'Cause he looks
like Santa claus.
Copy !req
960. Any other reasons?
Copy !req
961. Um, he's very nice,
mm-hmm.
Copy !req
962. And he works at Cole's,
and he's got elves.
Copy !req
963. Tell me something, Daniel.
Could that man be Santa claus?
Copy !req
964. Nope.
Why not?
Copy !req
965. Because Santa don't got
a grumpy face.
Copy !req
966. Order.
Copy !req
967. No further questions.
Copy !req
968. Mr. Collins, do you wish
to cross-examine the witness?
Copy !req
969. No, your honor.
No questions.
Copy !req
970. Do I have to
go to jail now?
Copy !req
971. No. You can go
back to your seat.
Copy !req
972. Your honor, I should like
to call my next witness.
Copy !req
973. Mrs. Rebecca Collins.
Copy !req
974. Order.
Copy !req
975. Do you swear to tell the truth,
Copy !req
976. the whole truth
and nothing but the truth,
so help you God?
Copy !req
977. I do.
Sit down, please.
Copy !req
978. Do you have children,
Mrs. Collins?
I have two.
Copy !req
979. How old are they?
Four and seven.
Copy !req
980. - Do they believe
in Santa claus?
- I object, your honor.
Copy !req
981. On what grounds,
Mr. Collins?
Copy !req
982. As the court knows,
the witness is my wife.
Copy !req
983. Mr. bedford is deliberately
harassing her solely in order
to embarrass me...
Copy !req
984. And expose private matters
to the court.
Copy !req
985. Your honor, I'm merely
attempting to establish
that Mr. Collins,
Copy !req
986. like so many others,
has taught his children
that there is a Santa claus.
Copy !req
987. Objection overruled.
Copy !req
988. You may continue.
Thank you, your honor.
Copy !req
989. Mrs. Collins, do your children
believe in Santa claus?
Copy !req
990. Yes.
Did they come
to this belief naturally,
Copy !req
991. or were they introduced to it
by a family member?
Copy !req
992. Um, it was
a family member.
Copy !req
993. Yourself?
Yes.
Copy !req
994. And your husband?
Copy !req
995. Yes.
Copy !req
996. Your husband told
your children that
there is a Santa claus?
Copy !req
997. Yes.
Copy !req
998. On more than
one occasion?
Copy !req
999. Um, yeah.
Copy !req
1000. Mrs. Collins, have you
taken your children to see...
Copy !req
1001. A department store Santa claus
this year?
Copy !req
1002. Yes, we have.
Where?
Copy !req
1003. At Cole's.
So your children
have met Mr. kringle?
Copy !req
1004. - Oh, yes.
Copy !req
1005. Did the question
of Mr. kringle's authenticity
arise at any time...
Copy !req
1006. Before or after
your children met him?
Copy !req
1007. Uh, yes, it was after.
Copy !req
1008. And did you deny or confirm...
Copy !req
1009. That Mr. kringle
is the real Santa claus?
Copy !req
1010. You're under oath now,
Mrs. Collins.
Copy !req
1011. Um, well, actually, my—
my husband confirmed
that he's the real Santa claus.
Copy !req
1012. No further questions,
your honor.
Thank you, Mrs. Collins.
Copy !req
1013. Merry Christmas.
Mr. Collins,
Copy !req
1014. do you wish to cross-examine...
Your wife?
Copy !req
1015. I object. This is irrelevant
and immaterial, to say
nothing of being ridiculous.
Copy !req
1016. Mr. bedford is making
a mockery of this court.
Copy !req
1017. He has not even established
that there is such a person
as Santa claus.
Copy !req
1018. I would ask Mr. Collins if he
could offer any proof that
there is no Santa claus.
Copy !req
1019. Your honor, I'd like
a recess until tomorrow...
Copy !req
1020. So that I might
adequately prepare to meet
Mr. bedford's challenge.
Copy !req
1021. - Mr. bedford, do you have
any objections?
- No, your honor.
Copy !req
1022. This court stands in recess
until 9:00 tomorrow morning.
Copy !req
1023. He bought it.
Copy !req
1024. I knew if I got him angry enough
he'd take the offensive.
Copy !req
1025. There's no way in a court of law
we can prove that Santa claus
exists or that you're him.
Copy !req
1026. Haven't you given Mr. Collins
the opportunity of proving
that idon'texist?
Copy !req
1027. Exactly. You see,
he'll go too far.
Copy !req
1028. Our best defense is to let
Collins hang himself.
Copy !req
1029. Oh. Oh, I see.
But you have to
promise me one thing:
Copy !req
1030. You'll speak only
when I tell you to.
You have my word.
Copy !req
1031. Good. Come on.
Copy !req
1032. Hi. I, uh—
Copy !req
1033. I just wanted to thank you
for everything that
you're doing for kriss.
Copy !req
1034. I was in the gallery.
I don't know if you saw me.
Copy !req
1035. I still have
a long way to go.
I think you'll do it.
Copy !req
1036. I hope you will.
I have a few tricks
up my sleeve.
Copy !req
1037. Um, about... last week.
Copy !req
1038. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1039. I mean it.
I'm really, really sorry.
Copy !req
1040. I was... just—
Copy !req
1041. scared?
Copy !req
1042. Yes.
Copy !req
1043. Well, no permanent damage.
Copy !req
1044. Well, I—
uh, yeah, I have to go.
Copy !req
1045. I have to pick Susan up
from school.
How's she doing?
Copy !req
1046. She's good. She's good.
I think she... misses you.
Copy !req
1047. Tell her I said hello.
Copy !req
1048. Well—
Copy !req
1049. indeed there was.
St. Nicholas, otherwise
known as Santa claus,
Copy !req
1050. was a fourth century bishop
in myra lycia, Asia minor.
Copy !req
1051. Dr. hunter, what is
the church's position
on St. Nicholas?
Copy !req
1052. He's a recognized Saint.
Copy !req
1053. But isn't it true that in 1969
pope Paul vi...
Copy !req
1054. Eliminated the official
celebration of the feast day
of St. Nicholas?
Copy !req
1055. That's correct. It was made
an optional Memorial Day.
Copy !req
1056. They downgraded it.
In essence,
Copy !req
1057. the church walked away
from St. Nicholas.
Copy !req
1058. Now, doesn't it also
stand to reason that they would
walk away from the derivative,
Copy !req
1059. diluted secular figure
of Santa claus?
Copy !req
1060. I presume so.
Copy !req
1061. Thank you, Dr. hunter.
Copy !req
1062. But the church has not
made it clear what its pos—
Copy !req
1063. no further questions.
Copy !req
1064. It's all right, kriss.
Copy !req
1065. He's just trying
to get under your skin.
Copy !req
1066. Colonel, have you ever
been to the north pole?
Copy !req
1067. Yes, sir. In 1972
and again in 1984.
Copy !req
1068. Did you explore
the region?
Extensively.
Copy !req
1069. Did you ever find any evidence
of dwellings, animal pens,
barns, workshops?
Copy !req
1070. - No, sir.
No evidence whatsoever?
Copy !req
1071. - None, sir.
- Tell me something, colonel.
Copy !req
1072. In your opinion, would it
be possible for an individual,
like Mr. kringle over there,
Copy !req
1073. to create a settlement
in that inhospitable region
large enough to manufacture...
Copy !req
1074. At least one toy for each
and every one of the earth's
1.7 billion children?
Copy !req
1075. No, sir.
Copy !req
1076. But there isn't any way in which
the gentleman can have seen my
workshops. They're invisible.
Copy !req
1077. Kriss, sit down.
Copy !req
1078. But— but Mr. Collins
is completely mistaken.
Copy !req
1079. My workshops don't exist
in the physical world.
Copy !req
1080. They're in
the dream world.
Copy !req
1081. Let me be the lawyer.
Copy !req
1082. I always thought that was
completely understood.
Copy !req
1083. Your honor,
with the court's permission,
Copy !req
1084. I'd like to call
my next witness.
Copy !req
1085. - Mr. Collins, what is this?
- This... is a reindeer,
your honor.
Copy !req
1086. I know that, but what's
it doing in my courtroom?
Copy !req
1087. I'd like the court
to see Mr. kringle make
the reindeer fly.
Copy !req
1088. He's baiting you.
He wants you
to lose your temper.
Copy !req
1089. He wants you to act crazy.
Remember that.
Copy !req
1090. Mr. kringle, we're waiting.
Copy !req
1091. Well, hello.
Copy !req
1092. Well, I would greatly
like to oblige, Mr. Collins,
Copy !req
1093. but I cannot make
this reindeer fly.
Copy !req
1094. - I didn't think so.
Copy !req
1095. He only flies
on Christmas Eve.
Copy !req
1096. Yes, of course, Mr. kringle.
No further questions,
your honor.
Copy !req
1097. Well, in that case, would
somebody please remove the wit—
the animal from the courtroom?
Copy !req
1098. Your honor,
the state of New York
has no desire...
Copy !req
1099. In laying waste
to a popular myth.
Copy !req
1100. But this case
is not about mythology.
Copy !req
1101. It's about
the mental competency of a man—
that man, kriss kringle.
Copy !req
1102. Now, everyone
in this courtroom,
Copy !req
1103. if they were entirely
honest with themselves,
Copy !req
1104. would have to conclude,
based on the evidence,
Copy !req
1105. that Mr. kringle,
regrettably, is insane.
Copy !req
1106. Now, as a sworn guardian
of the laws of
the state of New York,
Copy !req
1107. as a citizen and as a father,
it is my wish that Mr. kringle,
Copy !req
1108. who masquerades as Santa claus,
Copy !req
1109. a figure of benevolence
and generosity,
Copy !req
1110. but who does so
solely for profit—
Copy !req
1111. - that's not true.
Copy !req
1112. Your honor—
Copy !req
1113. Mr. kringle will refrain
from comment, or he will
be removed from the courtroom.
Copy !req
1114. Sit down.
Sit down, kriss.
Copy !req
1115. Your honor, I was not aware
that Cole's department store
was acharitableinstitution.
Copy !req
1116. If it is, I'm more than willing
to apologize to the court
and to Mr. kringle.
Copy !req
1117. I didn't think so, your honor.
Copy !req
1118. As I was saying before I was
so rudely interrupted,
it is my wish, your honor,
Copy !req
1119. that Mr. kringle be placed
under the care of the state...
Copy !req
1120. So that the children
of New York...
Copy !req
1121. Will no longer
be put at risk.
Copy !req
1122. - Hey, you big jerk!
Copy !req
1123. - Mr. kringle's
the nicest man in the world!
Copy !req
1124. He'd never hurt anybody!
Copy !req
1125. - Sit down.
- Order!
Copy !req
1126. Order!
Copy !req
1127. I have nothing further
to say, your honor.
Copy !req
1128. Kriss, sit down.
We're almost through.
Copy !req
1129. It's okay.
Copy !req
1130. Mr. bedford, do you wish
to make a closing statement?
Copy !req
1131. Your honor, a lot of people
believe in Mr. kringle,
Copy !req
1132. including millions of children.
Copy !req
1133. If you rule against him,
you won't destroy
anyone's belief,
Copy !req
1134. but you will destroy
the man they believe in.
Copy !req
1135. Mr. kringle
is not concerned for himself.
Copy !req
1136. If he was,
he wouldn't be here.
Copy !req
1137. He is in this
regrettable position...
Copy !req
1138. Because he is willing to
sacrifice himself for children,
Copy !req
1139. to create in their minds
a world far better than
the one we've made for them.
Copy !req
1140. If this is,
as Mr. Collins suggests,
a masquerade,
Copy !req
1141. then Mr. kringle is eager
to forfeit his freedom...
To preserve that masquerade,
Copy !req
1142. to subject himself
to prosecution,
Copy !req
1143. to protect the childrens'
right to believe.
Copy !req
1144. If this court finds
that Mr. kringle
is not who he says he is,
Copy !req
1145. that there is no Santa claus,
then I would ask the court
to judge which is worse:
Copy !req
1146. A lie that draws a smile...
Copy !req
1147. Or a truth...
That draws a tear.
Copy !req
1148. I rest my case.
Copy !req
1149. I shall render my opinion
on this matter
at 12:00 noon tomorrow.
Copy !req
1150. Until that time,
this court stands in recess.
Copy !req
1151. - Counselor.
- Hello, judge.
Copy !req
1152. I appreciate you
waiting for me.
Sit down.
Copy !req
1153. How did I get
on this case?
Copy !req
1154. I don't wanna rule
against your client,
Copy !req
1155. but I can't see how,
given the facts,
I can do otherwise.
Copy !req
1156. A man who believes himself
to be someone he isn't is,
by definition, disturbed.
Copy !req
1157. He isn't dangerous.
He isn't a threat.
Copy !req
1158. I can't sit up on that bench
as a representative
of the state of New York...
Copy !req
1159. And declare that
there is a Santa claus.
Copy !req
1160. I can't make that argument,
Copy !req
1161. as much as I'd like to.
Copy !req
1162. Believe me, Mr. bedford,
if I had a way out of this,
Copy !req
1163. I'd take it.
Copy !req
1164. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1165. It's all about money,
isn't it?
Copy !req
1166. You know what destroyed
kriss kringle?
Copy !req
1167. Power, greed and this.
Copy !req
1168. Anger and recrimination
may soothe your soul,
but it won't help Mr. kringle.
Copy !req
1169. He doesn't need
a bitter epilogue
from his attorney.
Copy !req
1170. He needs a miracle.
Copy !req
1171. All rise.
Copy !req
1172. You may sit.
Copy !req
1173. Having heard the evidence
in the matter of kriss kringle,
Copy !req
1174. I, judge Henry Harper,
a representative
of the state of New York,
Copy !req
1175. must regrettable rule
on this day,
the 24th of December,
Copy !req
1176. in the year—
Copy !req
1177. Would it please the court if
I gave you a Christmas card?
Copy !req
1178. I probably won't get
another chance to see you...
Copy !req
1179. Unless I get arrested,
which is very unlikely,
Copy !req
1180. since it's Christmas Eve
and I'm going to bed
uncharacteristically early.
Copy !req
1181. Uh—
Copy !req
1182. - thank you very much,
young lady.
- You're entirely welcome.
Copy !req
1183. And, uh, merry Christmas.
Copy !req
1184. Merry Christmas to you.
Copy !req
1185. What were you doing?
Copy !req
1186. Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
1187. I'm not gonna be
needing that.
Copy !req
1188. The young lady who just
approached the bench...
Copy !req
1189. Presented me with this
Christmas card and this.
Copy !req
1190. It's a one dollar bill.
Copy !req
1191. It's gonna be returned
to her shortly.
Copy !req
1192. But by presenting me
with this bill,
Copy !req
1193. she reminded me of the fact that
it's issued by the treasury
of the United States of America,
Copy !req
1194. and it's backed
by the government
and the people...
Copy !req
1195. Of the United States
of America.
Copy !req
1196. Upon inspection of the article,
you will see the words
"in God we trust."
Copy !req
1197. Now, we're not here
to prove that God exists,
Copy !req
1198. but we are here to prove that
a being just as invisible...
Copy !req
1199. And yet just as present...
Exists.
Copy !req
1200. The federal government
puts its trust in God.
Copy !req
1201. It does so on faith
and faith alone.
Copy !req
1202. It's the will of the people
that guides the government.
Copy !req
1203. And it is and was
their collective faith
in a greater being...
Copy !req
1204. That gave and gives cause to
the inscription on this bill.
Copy !req
1205. If the government
of the United States
can issue its currency...
Copy !req
1206. Bearing a declaration of trust
in God without demanding
physical evidence...
Copy !req
1207. Of the existence
or the nonexistence
of a greater being,
Copy !req
1208. then the state of New York,
Copy !req
1209. by a similar demonstration
of the collective faith
of its people,
Copy !req
1210. can accept and acknowledge
that Santa claus does exist,
Copy !req
1211. and he exists in the person
of kriss kringle!
Copy !req
1212. Case dismissed.
Copy !req
1213. Case dismissed!
Copy !req
1214. Santa claus wins!
Copy !req
1215. All charges have been dropped.
Kriss kringle is free.
Copy !req
1216. Hey!
How about that?
Yes!
Copy !req
1217. You're right, kriss. It's
all about the children.
Yes.
Copy !req
1218. Congratulations, counselor.
Thank you.
Copy !req
1219. - Merry Christmas, Mr. kringle.
- Merry Christmas to you,
Mr. Collins.
Copy !req
1220. Thank you.
Copy !req
1221. Uh, my children...
Wanted me to remind you...
Copy !req
1222. Not to forget to stop by
the house tonight.
Copy !req
1223. - Oh, I won't forget.
I promise.
- We live in stamford.
Copy !req
1224. 3133 brompton road.
Big white house.
Copy !req
1225. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
I know it well.
Copy !req
1226. Yeah, well—
anyway, merry Christmas.
Copy !req
1227. Oh, uh, Mr. Collins,
Copy !req
1228. I hope you've taken down
that old television antenna.
Copy !req
1229. I ripped my pants on it
last year.
Copy !req
1230. Pardon me, folks.
Pardon me.
Copy !req
1231. Well, kriss, you're free.
You made a believer
out of everybody.
Copy !req
1232. Oh, not everybody.
There's still a few
I have to convince.
Copy !req
1233. One in particular.
Copy !req
1234. Excuse me.
Copy !req
1235. Way to go, Bryan!
I'm so happy for you.
Copy !req
1236. Thank you very much,
Mrs. Walker.
Copy !req
1237. You did a great job,
sweetie.
You kicked that guys's bottom.
Copy !req
1238. Well, she saved
the day.
Well—
Copy !req
1239. congratulations, Bryan.
Copy !req
1240. Thank you, dorey.
Copy !req
1241. Have a merry Christmas.
Copy !req
1242. You too.
Copy !req
1243. Well, I'll let you go.
Copy !req
1244. Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
1245. And good luck.
Merry Christmas,
Mrs. Walker.
Copy !req
1246. And a merry Christmas
to you, young lady,
and thank you very much.
Copy !req
1247. Merry Christmas, Mr. kringle.
Merry Christmas, Bryan.
Copy !req
1248. Excuse me.
Copy !req
1249. Again, thank you so much.
Copy !req
1250. I shall never forget you.
Copy !req
1251. And in all my travels past...
Copy !req
1252. And all my travels
yet to come,
Copy !req
1253. I'll never find
a better friend.
Copy !req
1254. Thank you, kriss.
Copy !req
1255. Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
1256. Merry Christmas
to you, Bryan.
Copy !req
1257. Hey, you wanna
share a cab home?
Copy !req
1258. Home? Not tonight.
Copy !req
1259. I'm going to be
somewhat busy.
Copy !req
1260. That's right.
Copy !req
1261. This is gonna blow up
in my face, isn't it?
Copy !req
1262. I lost bigger than
I ever thought I'd win.
Copy !req
1263. There was a lot of pressure,
sir. I mean, who knew
what the judge was gonna do...
Copy !req
1264. When he was faced with
having to put Santa claus
in the nut house?
Copy !req
1265. He isn't Santa claus.
Copy !req
1266. What the hell is the matter
with everybody?
Copy !req
1267. There is no Santa claus!
Copy !req
1268. %%
Copy !req
1269. %%
Copy !req
1270. %%
Copy !req
1271. %%
Is somebody
getting married?
Copy !req
1272. Not that I know of.
Oh.
Copy !req
1273. Did you arrange this?
Copy !req
1274. No. You did.
Copy !req
1275. - Oh— I did?
- You didn't?
Copy !req
1276. - I didn't. Did you?
- I didn't.
Copy !req
1277. - You did. I know you did.
- Oh, no.
Copy !req
1278. I did not. Father?
Copy !req
1279. Are you ready?
Copy !req
1280. For what?
Copy !req
1281. To get married.
Copy !req
1282. Oh, my gosh!
Copy !req
1283. I have something
to tell you.
Copy !req
1284. What'd you get
for Christmas?
Copy !req
1285. I don't care
what you asked
Mr. kringle for.
Copy !req
1286. Susan, that is not why
we are going to the house.
Copy !req
1287. We're going to
the catalogue house,
right?
Copy !req
1288. That's the house
I told him I wanted.
Copy !req
1289. I showed him
a picture of it,
and he took it,
Copy !req
1290. and he said he would
get it for me.
Copy !req
1291. Well, a house is
a pretty big gift.
That's what Mr. kringle said.
Copy !req
1292. Honey, we are going
to the house
because it snowed,
Copy !req
1293. and it's very pretty,
Copy !req
1294. and because Mr. shellhammer
wants to take photographs...
Copy !req
1295. For next year's
Christmas catalogue,
Copy !req
1296. which, I think,
is awfully bold of him.
Copy !req
1297. - It is a holiday.
- That's just an excuse.
Copy !req
1298. Mr. kringle did all this.
Copy !req
1299. I'm very sorry, mother.
Copy !req
1300. You have it perfectly wrong.
Copy !req
1301. I knew it!
Copy !req
1302. Well, where is everybody?
You got a bonus.
Copy !req
1303. What do you mean?
Our name's
on the mailbox.
Copy !req
1304. I got a call last night
from Mr. kringle who said...
Copy !req
1305. You and your husband
were looking for a house.
Copy !req
1306. He was quite insistent.
Copy !req
1307. Did you get married?
Copy !req
1308. Yeah, last night.
I can't believe it.
Copy !req
1309. Congratulations.
Was this planned?
Copy !req
1310. Uh, no.
I can't believe it!
Copy !req
1311. Mr. kringle wanted to be here,
but, uh, he's overseas.
Copy !req
1312. Mr. kringle.
Copy !req
1313. Oh, the house is for sale,
fully furnished,
Copy !req
1314. and I'm sure you
can afford it now.
Copy !req
1315. Oh, we all get our bonuses
thanks to you and,
uh, Mr. kringle.
Copy !req
1316. Wow!
Copy !req
1317. I knew it.
Copy !req
1318. Oh, thank you,
Donald.
Copy !req
1319. I don't know
what to say except...
Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
1320. Merry Christmas. Oh.
Chin-chin.
Copy !req
1321. This is the house
I asked kriss for,
and he got it for me.
Copy !req
1322. And he got me a dad.
Copy !req
1323. And the third thing—
Copy !req
1324. I guess I'll just
have to wait for.
Copy !req
1325. But he'll get it for me,
won't he?
Copy !req
1326. If kriss said
he'd get you something,
I bet it's already on the way.
Copy !req
1327. I guess there's
no doubt about it.
He's real.
Copy !req
1328. I'm going up to look at
my new room. Excuse me.
Copy !req
1329. - Susan?
- What?
Copy !req
1330. What else did you ask
Mr. kringle for?
Copy !req
1331. A baby brother.
Copy !req
1332. See ya.
Copy !req
1333. %% you better watch out %%
Copy !req
1334. %% you better not cry %%
Copy !req
1335. %% you better not pout
I'm telling you why %%
Copy !req
