WHAT'S IT SUPPOSED TO BE?

THE FUTURE, MARY.

YOU SAID IT YOURSELF.

DESTINATION SHOPPING.

CAN YOU THINK OF

A BETTER DESTINATION

THAN SANTA'S VILLAGE?

IT'S LIKE

AN AMUSEMENT PARK

WITH BIGGER STORES.

WHAT ARE YOU:

TALKING ABOUT?

IT'S ALL RIGHT HERE.

HOTELS, RESTAURANTS,

RIDES, AND STORES.

LOTS AND LOTS:

OF STORES.

GRANT, YOU CAN' BRING PEOPLE HERE.

WHY NOT? DID YOU

THINK THAT YOU COULD

KEEP ALL THIS:

A SECRET FOREVER?

THIS PLACE HAS BEEN

A SECRET FOREVER,

AND IT'S GONNA

STAY THAT WAY.

YOU CAN' STAND IN THE WAY

OF PROGRESS, MARY.

THIS IS DIFFERENT!

WHAT'S HAPPENED TO YOU?

I THOUGHT THIS IS

WHAT WE WANTED,

WHAT WE:

ALWAYS DREAMED OF.

GRANT, THIS IS MY HOME,

NOT A SHOPPING MALL.

PROMISE ME:

YOU'LL DESTROY THIS!

WELL, MAYBE IT IS

A BIT MUCH.

PROMISE ME!

LOOK OUT! LOOK OUT!

HERE I COME!

WHOA! WHOA!

[CRASH]

GO.

WE'LL TALK LATER.

[ELF SHOUTING]

I MEAN IT.

Luke:
I'M TELLING YOU,

IT HAPPENED.

WOW.

Santa:
LOOK AT THIS.

IT'S VERY NICE

TO MEET YOU, SIR.

GRANT FOLEY.

HAVEN'T HEARD FROM YOU

IN QUITE A WHILE.

NO. I GUESS

YOU HAVEN'T.

NICHOLAS.

MOTHER, WELL DONE!

PLEASE, EVERYONE,

SIT DOWN.

GREAT. THANK YOU.

IT LOOKS GREAT.

Santa:
AHH!

WELL, I MUST SAY,

THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE.

IF I WEREN'T HERE MYSELF,

I WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

MARY'S FRIENDS

ARE ALWAYS WELCOME.

GO AHEAD. TAKE ONE.

HA HA!

HERE YOU GO.

THIS REALLY IS SOME AMAZING

SET-UP YOU HAVE HERE.

DO YOU OWN ALL:

THE PROPERTY IN THE VALLEY?

THE MOUNTAINS:

AND EVERYTHING?

I'D HAVE TO CHECK

THE PAPERWORK,

BUT WE'VE BEEN HERE

QUITE A WHILE.

THE DETAILS, THEY GE A LITTLE FUZZY.

IT'S VERY IMPRESSIVE.

PRIME REAL ESTATE.

IS THAT SO?

HEY, MAILMAN, DO YOU

MIND OVERNIGHTING ME

THOSE PEAS?

GRANT!

WHAT? I'M KIDDING.

[LAUGHS UNCOMFORTABLY]

SURE.

THANKS, BUDDY.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

AHH!

AHEM!

SO, SIR, I COULDN' HELP BUT NOTICING

YOUR RATHER:

INTERESTING:

TROPHY THERE.

OH, YES, WELL,

I'M AFRAID

BLITZEN AND I:

HAD A BIT OF A SPA BACK IN '81.

HE LEFT ME NO CHOICE.

[LAUGHS]

[ SANTA LAUGHING]

HE'S PULLING YOUR LEG.

IT'S A FAKE.

I GOT IT IN A FLEA MARKET.

HEE HEE HEE!

HEE HEE HEE HEE!

EHH...

AHEM!

SO, GRANT,

YOU MUST HAVE:

CHRISTMAS PLANS:

BACK HOME WITH:

YOUR FAMILY?

FUNNY YOU SHOULD

MENTION FAMILY.

MR. CLAUS, I KNOW THA YOU GET A LOT OF REQUESTS

THIS TIME OF YEAR,

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

YEAH. UH, YES.

WELL, IN THAT SPIRIT,

THERE'S SOMETHING I'D

LIKE TO ASK OF YOU.

OH?

MARY AND I HAVE BEEN

SEEING EACH OTHER

FOR QUITE SOME TIME,

AND WHILE I WAS GOING TO

WAIT UNTIL CHRISTMAS DAY,

I JUST COULDN'T HOPE

FOR BETTER COMPANY,

SO I'D LIKE TO ASK MARY

A VERY SPECIAL QUESTION.

[CLEARS THROAT]

WOULD YOU DO ME:

THE HONOR OF:

BEING MY WIFE?

I...UH...

EXCUSE ME.

AHEM!

[DOOR CLOSES]

UH...

HEY, COULD I GE THE BUTTER, PLEASE?

WHAT'S WRONG?

GRANT, GRANT, GRANT.

IT'S NOT EXACTLY

THE REACTION:

I WAS HOPING FOR.

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

GEE, I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE THAT I LOVE YOU

AND THAT WE SHOULD

BE TOGETHER FOR:

THE REST OF OUR LIVES?

YEAH, BUT WHY NOW?

BECAUSE WE'RE HERE

WITH YOUR PARENTS.

I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE

THE PERFECT MOMENT.

[LAUGHS LIGHTLY]

I'M GONNA NEED

SOME TIME.

WE CAN WAI AS LONG AS YOU WANT.

6 MONTHS, A YEAR--

TIME ISN'T GONNA CHANGE

HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOU.

WHY SHOULD IT CHANGE

HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT ME?

WE BELONG TOGETHER,

MARY.

I LOVE YOU.

JUST...

EXCUSE ME.

HAVE SOME SPROUTS.

MMM!

[COUGHS]

[LAUGHS]

CONGRATULATIONS?

DONNA.

WHAT EXACTLY:

IS GOING ON?

I DON'T KNOW,

I DON'T KNOW!

MAYBE HE:

REALLY MISSED ME.

SO THIS WAS HIS PLAN

ALL ALONG?

HE'S PROBABLY

BEEN PLANNING THIS

FOR MONTHS.

MAYBE EVEN:

AT THANKSGIVING.

THAT'S WHY HE WANTED ME

TO GO TO HIS PARENTS'.

HMM.

WHAT?

DID HE BRING A RING?

[DOG WHINING]

STAY. GOOD BOY.

LEAVING BEFORE PIE?

I SHOULDN'T HAVE COME.

IT WAS A MISTAKE.

THE ONLY MISTAKE I SEE

IS GIVING UP BEFORE

THE RACE IS OVER.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

LUKE,

YOU'VE BEEN

HANGING OUT HERE

FOR 20 YEARS.

NOBODY LIKES THE ELVES

THAT MUCH--

NOT EVEN ME.

BIT OF ADVICE--

IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO

JUST WANT SOMETHING

FOR CHRISTMAS.

YOU'VE GOT TO ASK FOR IT.

GOOD NIGHT.

HEY, DONNA.

BROUGHT YOU:

SOME LEFTOVERS.

THANKS.

SO I NOTICED:

YOU NEVER WEAR:

ANYTHING CHRISTMASY.

YEAH. I JUST BROUGH WHAT I HAD.

WELL, I BROUGHT YOU

SOMETHING.

OH. UH, WHAT IS THAT?

HOLLY?

MISTLETOE.

I DON'T HAVE

A LOT OF FREE TIME.

[SNIFFLING AND CRYING]

I SCREWED UP.

WHAT?

I SCREWED UP BAD.

I, UM...

[SNIFFS]

I RUINED CHRISTMAS.

MARY, COME ON.

IT CAN'T BE

ALL THAT BAD.

THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TOYS.

THE ELVES ARE EVEN MORE

CONFUSED THAN USUAL.

AND EVERYBODY'S UNHAPPY,

AND IT'S ALL MY FAULT.

MARY, COME ON. DON'T BE

SO HARD ON YOURSELF.

I MEAN,

IT'S AN IMPOSSIBLE JOB.

LOOK HOW MUCH YOU'VE

GOTTEN DONE ALREADY.

DO YOU THINK:

WE'D BE BETTER OFF

IF YOU HADN' TAKEN OVER?

TELL THAT TO THE KIDS.

I WON'T HAVE TO.

IT'S CHRISTMAS.

IT WORKS OUT.

IT ALWAYS DOES.

THANKS.

FOR WHAT?

FOR BEING ON MY SIDE.

YOU ALWAYS KNOW HOW

TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER.

I GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU.

THANKS, BUT I

REALLY DON'T THINK

RIBBON CANDY'S

GONNA FIX THIS ONE.
