Albert Page #4

Synopsis: Albert is the story of a tiny Douglas fir tree named Albert who has big dreams of becoming Empire City's most famous Christmas tree. When the search for this year's tree is announced, Albert believes he has found his calling and hits the road with his two best friends, Maisie the persistently positive plam tree, and Gene the abrasive and blisteringly honest weed, to fulfill his destiny. With a few prickly situations along the way, and Cactus Pete out to stop him, Albert learns the true meaning of Christmas.

not a Christmas...

Tree?

[light music]

[]

- Are you okay?

- Yes! Someone get me a pot,

a shovel, and ornaments.

Quick!

- You heard the professor.

And while you're at it,

get rid of this ugly cactus.

[groans]

Oh...

- I don't know how you got here,

my little friend,

but thank Christmas

you made it.

[heroic music]

[]

- Daddy! That's him!

Grandma's tree!

I told you I saw him!

- Jiminy Christmas!

[intense music]

[cheers and applause]

[]

[laughs]

It's like my dream had a dream,

and that dream came true!

[]

[crowd commotion]

- You can do it...

- C'mon, little guy...

- Be strong.

- Be...the tree.

[groaning]

[crowd roars]

[epic, sweeping music]

[]

- Hooray! I'm a genius!

- Go, little tree!

[laughing]

[overlapping chatter, shouting]

[]

Ring those bells

and light those lights

I'm ready, so let's do this

If it's up to me,

this one will be

The Christmassy--

- Are you gonna sing that

all night?

- I might!

[Betty chuckles]

- I figured!

- Back home, my friends

can't get enough of it.

[soft music]

[]

[sighs]

Good-bye, Albert.

[]

[bang]

- Oh...

oh--uhh!

[groans]

[melancholy music]

Ah, you've gotta

be kidding me.

[groaning]

- Maisie!

Wait! I need a favor!

- Come on down

to Cactus Pete's

I'll show you a prickly

Good time...

- Pete!

[whimsical music]

[]

Thanks, guys!

- Ugh. You won, okay?

Just let me be.

Go spread joy to the world

or some reindeer-poop

like that.

- You don't really hate

Christmas, Pete.

- Oh, stop.

- What you hate

is being left out.

I know how it feels.

[exhales]

Yer talkin' nonsense.

- We're not so different,

you and me.

We both have needles,

but...

no one hangs ornaments on yours.

And that stinks.

- I...

I always wondered

what it would be like,

bein' all shiny and twinkly

and feeling the warmth of

those lights

and...making everyone

feel merry!

[]

Hmm.

[exhales]

Listen, I'm, uh...

I'm sorry.

For everything I did to you.

[sighs] I've been nothin'

but naughty this year.

- It's not too late to do nice.

- Whoo-hoo!

Hey, look at me!

I'm Mr. Shiny McTwinkly!

Ooh, sorry about

the buzz cut, ma'am.

- Don't mention it.

- Whoo-hoo!

Ha ha ha! I'm prickly!

I'm prickly,

and it's okay!

- How long are we

gonna give him?

- As long as he wants.

- Wait, what?

- After all you put me through?

You're just walking away?

- No. I'm going home.

I got some friends

who need a Christmas Tree.

[pensive music]

[]

- O, Christmas Pete

O, Christmas Pete

How heavenly are thine

Needles!

Yeah, that's the stuff!

["We Wish You A Merry Christmas" plays]

- Maisie looked that bunny

square in the eyes and said--

- You wanna piece of me?!

[laughter]

- Right, that's telling 'em!

What about

green Gene, here?

- Ah you wouldn't believe it.

Gene knew every weed

in Empire City!

- Every weed!

- Wow!

- Gene's a bad dude.

[chuckles]

What can I say?

I get around.

- I hate to alarm y'all again,

but Earth Mama's

on the move! Hurry!

- You wanna do what?

- But we've got presents

to open!

- Just one second.

- What is it with her

and that tree?

- I don't know how

you did it, little tree,

but I'm glad you're back.

Here, I made something for ya.

I'm sure I'll be

seeing you around.

I always do.

[giggles]

[light music]

- I love sappy endings.

- Yeah, me too!

- Weed!

- You can call me SCUZZ.

- Merry Christmas!

- Aah!

- How's it hanging,

fun stuff?

- Watch your mouth,

little weed boy.

[slurping]

Ohhh...

- Refill!

- I think I found my soilmate.

Mwah.

- Oh, no...

- Oh, yeah, we invited some

friends over for Christmas.

- Come on, guys!

Mingle, dance around.

This is a party!

Let's party!

[all whooping]

- Who's ready to get

their jingle on?

Ha ha ha!
