you are, Mary Poppins?!

Come on, come on, let's go!

Wait. Let's talk!

Have a great show!

And now...

...the moment you've all

been waiting for!

Live and in person...

...Turbo Man!

Wave, you idiot!

Wave!

This is cool.

Look, Mom, it's Turbo Man!

I could get into this.

In a few moments Turbo Man will pick

a special child from the audience.

That child will be the winner of a

special edition Turbo Man doll.

You're supposed to be

holding this.

Hey, rock star!

Be on your toes. Dementor's gonna

jump on the float soon.

What's he doing?

Would you pick a kid already?

Pick a kid?

Pick a kid so he can come

up here and get his prize!

Pick me! Pick me!

Over here!

-He's looking at me.

-No, me.

-He's pointing at me.

-No, me.

Me!

Me!

Jamie.

He knows my name!

I think Turbo Man

has selected a winner.

Go ahead.

Go, Jamie!

Merry Christmas, Jamie.

How did you know my name?

Well, Jamie...

...you see...

...l'm your fa...

Oh, no, kids!

It's Turbo Man's archenemy...

...Dementor!

Shut up!

Was that in the script?

All right, give me the doll

and nobody gets hurt!

Myron?

That's right, Turtle Man.

Thought you could outsmart me?

Thought your suit idea

was so slick!

But you know what?

I'm one step ahead of you

because I have a bigger brain!

Just stay here.

Come on, Myron.

You're taking this too far.

I'm not going home

without that doll!

Hey, this ain't

the way we rehearsed it!

You know what?

Nobody likes you, Booster.

We don't like you!

We hate you, Booster!

Where are you going?

Come back, my little pretty,

and your little doll too!

Hey, Myron!

Leave him alone!

Ta-ta, Turtle Man!

Uh-oh, Liza! It looks like

Dementor has beaten Turbo Man.

This could be the end

of civilization as we know it.

Do something, Turbo Man!

Use your Turbo Disks!

My what?

On your arm!

Hey, man! I have a

special delivery for you!

It appears that Turbo Man

has saved the day.

I'll take you back to your mom.

Go, Demon Team!

It's the Demon Team,

Dementor's evil henchmen!

What'll you do now?

What about my son?

Don't you know the choreography?

I ain't through with you!

Get out of my way!

Come here.

I'm sorry I hollered!

Get out of my way!

Get out of my way!

Come here, boy!

Get this popcorn away!

You know what?

You need a time-out.

Don't worry, it's part of the show.

Stay on the sidewalk.

That's my son.

Oh, he's wonderful.

He's not part of the show!

I'm scared of heights.

You ever see the movie Vertigo?

Let's get him!

I want to talk to you!

All right, kid, end of the line!

Give me the doll!

Never!

Fly, Turbo Man! Use your jet pack!

It's Turbo Time!

I think I'm getting the hang of this!

Turbo Man, help!

I got you!

Out of my way!

Let us pray.

I got you, kid!

Give me the doll.

Turbo Man!

Use your Turbo-rang!

Come on!

Missed me!

Victory is mine!

V-l-C-T-O-R-Y!

I got it! I got one!

I finally got one!

Turbo Man! Help!

Got you!

Thanks, Turbo Man.

I knew you'd save me.

You can always count on me.

Awesome!

Here you go, ma'am.

Did you see that?

I was flying with Turbo Man!

He saved me from Dementor.

It was the coolest! Did you see?

I saw. I saw.

Thank you. You don't know

how much he means to me.

Oh, I think I have an idea.

What's the matter?

It's just... I wish Dad

could've been here, you know?

To see me fly and all.

But he didn't come.

And it's all my fault.

He's mad at me.

We had a fight on the phone

and I kind of yelled at him.

Your dad is not mad at you.

He loves you more

than anything in the world.

You're his all-time

favorite person!

How do you know that?

Well, who would know better than...

...me?

Dad?

Howard?

Right here.

You two mean more to me

than anything.

I'm sorry I haven't

shown that lately.

I know I've been

neglecting both of you.

But no more.

I love you. I love you both!

What's going on here?

Jamie's dad is Turbo Man!

Let's get out of here!

You smell like barf!

Young man, I have something

that belongs to you.

Thanks!

You're welcome.

As for you...

...we could use

a man like you on the force.

Thanks.

I'll keep that in mind.

I'm sorry about the bike.

And the coffee.

And the bus.

And the...

...bomb.

Bomb?

I had it right here in my hands.

What do I tell my son

on Christmas morning?

How will I look him in the eye?

Wait!

Did you see? I had it!

I was so close.

Merry Christmas.

Thank you. Thank you!

This'll make my son really happy.

I'm sorry about that

tension on the roof.

It's cool.

But, Jamie, I thought you wanted

this doll more than anything.

What do I need the doll for?

I got the real Turbo Man at home.

Turbo Man!

That's my husband.

Turbo Man!

That's my dad!

That's my dad!

Look at that. There it is!

Beautiful.

Perfecto!

I've been thinking.

Everything you went through today

shows how much you love Jamie.

And if you're willing to go through

all of that just for a present...

...that makes me wonder...

What?

What did you get me?
