AII right.

So you're my dad, huh?

How did my hamster die?

Your hamster? Heart attack.

What's my hockey position?

That's easy. Right wing.

They moved me to defense Iast year.

Oh, man, CharIie-boy.

Frosty the Snowman

Had to hurry on his way

But he waved goodbye

Saying, ''Don 't you cry,|l'll be back again some--''

You said the snowman spoke to you?

Yes, he did.

And he knew my name.

Were there any other witnesses?

There wasn 't any other witnesses.

...folks may not be in for|a white Christmas after all.

CharIie, honey,|did you fix the sink?

Why is the snowman facing this way?

I turned him. . .

. . .to even out his tan.

Was that Sid I heard taIking on TV?

What was he taIking about?

Nothing, reaIIy.

I saw him yesterday at the bank. . .

. . .and he toId me|that you quit the team.

CharIie, you didn't teII me.

You want to taIk?

About what?

I don't know.

Looks Iike I'm working|out by myseIf. . .

AII right, aII right, I'II skate.

Just stop beIIyaching.

We'II get our nice baIance.|We'II get set up.

We come through. We snap our wrist.

Just before we do that. . .

. . .I make this IittIe move here.
