Elf Page #2

My dad works there?

Empire state building.

Hey, buddy, wanna pick some snow berries?

Not now, arctic puffin.

Hello, buddy. Oh... hi, Leon.

Why the long face, partner?

It seems I'm... I'm not an elf.

'Course you're not. You're 6'3"

And had a beard since you were 15.

Papa says my real father

Lives in a magical place far away.

I don't know what to do.

At least you have a daddy.

I was just rolled up one day and left out here in the cold.

But the thing is, I've never even left the North Pole.

Buddy, I've been around the world Many times

When I was a young cumulus nimbus cloud.

It's a wonderful place, filled with Wondrous creatures...

Except dogs.

Oh, by the way, don't eat the yellow snow.

Oh, I know that.

All I'm say in' is, this might be The golden opportunity

To find out whom you really are.

So, I hear you're going

On a little journey to the big city.

Yup. Ahh.

I'm kind a nervous.

[Chuckles]

Leon says New York is pretty different.

Oh, don't pay attention to Leon.

He's never been anywhere. He doesn't have any feet.

I've been to New York thousands of times.

Really? Mm-hmm.

What's it like?

Well, there are some things you should know.

First off, you see gum on The street,

Leave it there. It's not free candy.

Oh. Second,

There are, like, 30 ray's pizzas.

They all claim to be the Original,

But the real one' son 11th.

And if you see a sign that Says "peep show,"

That doesn't mean that They're letting you

Look at presents before Christmas.

Can't wait to see my dad...

We're gonna go ices skating and... And eat sugar plums.

Yeah, that's the other thing

I wanted to talk to you about.

You know, buddy... [sighs]

Your father...

Well... he's on the naughty list.

No!!!

You're taking the books back?

[Chuckles]

See, I... I see what you're trying to do here.

Y-You're trying to make me feel bad,

When, in actuality, you're the one

That missed the payments.

But the children love the books.

I know that, uh...

You know, I'm the one that ran The focus groups,

But I like hearing that.

Listen, some people, they just Lose sight

Of what's important in life.

That doesn't mean they can't find their way again, huh?

Maybe all they need

Is just a little Christmas spirit.

[Cheering]

Well, uh, I... I'm good at that.

I know you are.

And I'll...

I'll always, uh,

I'll always be here for you.
