Freeze.

Hi.

There's gotta be a better way to

get your Christmas shopping done.

I didn't steal those.

Just because I work at a toy store doesn't

mean those bears came from that store.

I'm sure the judge will

wanna hear all about that.

Thank you. We'll be in touch in

case we need you two as witnesses.

- What are you gonna do with all them bears?

- They're being impounded as evidence.

You think maybe I could get one

for my daughter for Christmas?

- I'm sorry, sir, we can't do that.

- But you have so many. We just need one.

Yeah, I'll even buy one.

I'm sorry, sir. They all

have to be accounted for.

You two have a good night.

Happy holidays.

Yeah, and a merry Christmas to you too

and all that... All that other stuff.

Well, at least we got the money back.

- Well, that's good.

- Yeah.

If I tell you something,

you promise not to laugh at me?

Sure.

When that elf flipped me,

I pooped my pants a little.

You guys going to the tree

lighting tonight? Looks fun.

I'm going. You going, Lar?

You know what, Claude?

I'm beginning to think you were right.

- Really?

- Yup.

About what?

It's ridiculous to think I

could compete with Victor.

- Oh, it's about time.

- It is about time.

It's about time I realized that

Christmas is about giving...

not who's taking

credit for something.

And it's about spending time with my

daughter, not fighting with her stepdad.

That's the spirit.

I'm really glad to hear

you say that, Larry.

Yeah. Yeah. Tell you what.

What a better time than a tree

lighting to show a little

peace and goodwill toward Victor?

I mean, you know, there's plenty of

room for both of us in Noel's life.

- Besides...

- Hey, check this out.

Parents everywhere have been

frustrated this Christmas...

by the fact that there are no more

Harrison Talking Bears on toy shelves.

How do you look your kid

in the eye and tell him

Santa can't give him the

one thing he wants?

She looks up at me and says, "But,

Mommy, it's the only thing I want. "

It just breaks my heart.

But there is a new wrinkle that

has developed in this story.

According to various reports and

in the words of one manager...

there were plenty of Harrison Talking Bears

in stock as recently as a few days ago.

But according to various

witnesses in toy stores...

all the remaining Harrison

Bears were bought up...

by the same unidentified

white male in large lots...

perhaps to be sold on the black

market to desperate parents.

And so it would seem someone somewhere

is hoarding Harrison Talking Bears.

- For Channel One News...

- That is crazy.

Yeah. I mean, somebody would have

to have a whole lot of money...

to buy every single bear in town.

And who do we know that

has a whole lot of money?

You don't think Victor had

something to do with this, do you?

Yeah, Claude, I do.

Claude, he knows. He knows.

He must have found out

what was in Noel's letter.

Man, I'm out of here. I'll see you

down at the tree lighting later.

Where are you going?

If Victor's been buying these bears,

I know where he's keeping them.

I'm gonna go there, I'm gonna

get me one of them bears.

When I get one, down goes Victor.

- Good night, Betsy.

- See you at the ceremony.

Hey, you closing early?

Our company is sponsoring the

tree-lighting event this evening.

A lot of us are heading over there.

Hey, that's good. Well, I got a

package here for Victor Baxter.

- Oh, thanks. I can sign for it.

- You ain't gonna believe this.

A couple of women on their way in thought

I looked like Brad Pitt. You believe that?

Yeah, a little. Yeah.

All right. Hey, do me a favor.

Make sure this gets up to him fast, okay?

- It says "urgent" right on there.

- I'll take it up to him right away.

Good. And tell him it has something to

do with Operation Who's Your Daddy.

And I hate doing it to you.

You got a toilet in here?

- Yeah.

- Yes. It's just down the hall on the right.

You're a lifesaver.

Merry Christmas to you.

- Brad Pitt.

- Brad Pitt.

Yeah. Yeah.

- Mr. Baxter.

- Yeah, I'm leaving now.

Yeah. I'll see you downtown right

next to the tree. Love you too.

Perfect timing. I was just

bringing this package up to you.

- It just arrived. They said it was urgent.

- Thanks.

And the delivery guy said it was for

something called Operation Who's Your Daddy.

Really? It must be from Welling.

I'll see you at the tree lighting.

I'm looking forward to your speech.

Me too.

That's right, Victor.

Take me right to Harrison.

Where is Victor Baxter?

Oh, no, no, no.

- It's empty.

- That's the point.

Go, go, go.

- No, no, do not touch that.

- Hey, this is so beautiful.

- Where's Larry?

- Last-minute Christmas shopping.

- Did he find that bear?

- We'll see.

Oh, hey, Sharon, Mike. Hi.

- Now, this is what I call...

- The Christmas spirit.

- Indeed.

- Indeed.

This is so beautiful.

- And our family's putting on the event.

- That's right, sweet pea.

- Is this supposed to be a joke?

- Yeah, and you're the punch line.

Biscuits and gravy.

Larry, this is not

what it looks like.

It looks like you've been buying these

Harrison Bears so I can't get one.

Okay, maybe it is what it looks like.

Well, that's the lowest of the low, Victor.

You know that? You're an idiot.

To get back at me, you're gonna make sure

Noel don't get the Christmas she most wants.

No, no, no. She's gonna get a

Harrison Talking Bear, all right.

Only it's coming from her new

dad instead of her old one.

- It will be the first present she opens.

- When she opens it up, know what she'll say?

"Thanks, but I already

got a Harrison Bear.

- Dad gave it to me at the tree lighting. "

- You wouldn't dare.

The last couple of days, you'd be

surprised what I'd do for my daughter.

- Is that a leak?

- No, we don't have...

- Hey, not so fast.

- See you later.

Get off me.

Get off me.

Great. Now look what you've done.

I didn't do nothing. I ain't

gonna pay for a new handle.

No, you idiot. We're locked in.

- What do you mean we're locked in?

- I mean we're locked in.

Are you kidding me?

Hey! Ain't you got another door,

like another way out or something?

Afraid not. And no one's

coming back for two days.

You mean we're trapped in here for two days?

I'm gonna miss Christmas with my little girl?

And I'm gonna have to

spend it with you? Help!

Hello! Hey! Open sesame.

Help!

You're wasting your time.

It's locked from the outside.

Nice job, genius.

What?

Hi, I'm Harrison.

Leave a message.

Hi, Victor.

Just wondering where you are.

We're here at the

tree-lighting ceremony.

I guess we'll just see you

when you get here. Okay. Bye.

Is Victor coming soon?

He's probably on his

way right now. Come on.

Excuse me.

Hi, are you Nate Welling, head of

security for Baxter Box Company?

- Yes.

- Would you like to comment...

on the sudden shortage

of Harrison Talking Bears...

in toy stores all over town?

I was not aware of that.

You were not aware that a man

has been going around...
