making me go "uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh"..

Like some kind of a moron!

Uh-huh.

I had to move one of the batches of candy

canes to another part of the factory.

I left a box next

to a radiator in the lab.

- And?

- There's no more lab.

The candy canes

exploded!

They react to extreme heat

and turn volatile.

We've got to stop this.

Stop? Are you insane?

We've got millions of dollars pouring

in every day, most of it in cash.

Cash, man!

Small, unmarked bills.

B.Z., this stuff

can kill people.

Are you going soft on me?

No, I'm not going--

listen, you idiot.

Who else knows about this?

Nobody.

What about patch?

He was asleep.

He didn't hear anything.

Don't tell him.

Don't tell anybody.

B.Z., these are children

we're talking about.

Yes. And who appreciates

them better than I?

These... industrious

little boys and girls...

Saving all their

nickels and dimes...

To get the magic candy canes

I promised them.

They'll get

what they paid for.

If these people are so reckless as

to have radiators in their houses--

reckless?

Towser,

how does Brazil

sound to you?

Brazil?

Brazil.

Sandy beaches,

tropical breezes,

big rum drinks

with pineapple in them,

senoritas

in string bikinis,

and-- oh, yes--

no extradition proceedings.

You mean--

you and me, Eric.

We'll take the cash...

And let the elf

face the music.

Listen, kid. You wanna

die on me when I'm gone?

Be my guest.

Dear Santa, you've gotta help.

Joe's been taken prisoner

by a very bad man.

I'm sorry to say

he's a relation of mine.

Cornelia, what are you doing? You're

ten minutes late for breakfast.

I'm coming.

Just what I thought.

I think we should prepare the first shipments

of pine wood as early as April this time.

Don't you agree, Santa?

What's this?

Looks like a letter.

In January?

A bit early for next

Christmas, isn't it?

It's familiar writing.

- Saddle up the reindeer! - But it's

only two weeks since they've been out.

This can't wait.

Ah! Just the elves I want to see.

Hitch up the reindeer.

We're flying out at 1900 hours!

That's what we came to tell you.

It's comet and cupid.

What about them?

- They've got flu.

This would have to happen now. Well,

I'll have to make do with six.

Get them ready.

Feed them.

Little Joe needs me.

But, boys...

We have got ourselves

one heck of a problem here.

Our little friend Joe

is in trouble.

If we don't help him, I don't even

like to think of what can happen.

Now, listen.

I know we're two men

short today.

But this time...

You've got to fly

like the wind.

Can you do it for me?

Can you do it

for little Joe?

Sure you can!

- All right, men.

Give me that extra effort.

I'm counting on you.

Yo!

Come on, blitzen!

Come on!

My gosh!

What are you doing down here?

As if you didn't know!

Me?

Yeah, you!

You ruined Christmas! But I never did.

What are you talking about?

He said that kids didn't like him no more!

You don't even know Santa claus.

Do so!

Do not!

He said I was his only

friend left, you dumb punk!

But I-- I was just-- I just wanted him

to see what a good assistant I could be.

He's seen what you are.

You're a dumb, stupid idiot,

stink-face creep who made the

kids hate the best guy ever!

Hey, what is this? Give me that!

It's mine!

Where did you get it?

He gave it to me.

See, I told you

I was his best friend.

My elf-portrait.

He does like me after all.

Huh?

Come on, kid.

Where are we going? We're

going to the north pole.

We'll both go. And for once, we'll

bring Santa claus a present.

It's you!

Thank heavens!

How is he?

I don't know.

Where is he? My step-Uncle's got him.

Those candy canes--

shhh.

Tell me on the way.

They exploded? That's what they said.

When they got hot.

I called the police, but

I don't think they believed me.

We've got to hurry.

Come on, boys!

Enough here to take care of all next year's

Christmas orders. Santa claus can take a year off.

His first vacation. Won't that be great?

Yeah, neat.

Oh, wow!

Yeah, good, huh?

- Ahhh!

- Put your seat belt on.

Hey, this is neat!

Yeah.

It's them! Both of them! Oh, no!

What is it? Look. The candy canes!

They're in the car with 'em.

Patch doesn't know

they explode.

Fly, boys!

Fly like the wind!

Fly like you've never flown before!

Come on!

Okay, we know you're up there.

Now, come on down

with your hands held high!

Unit 71, are you 10-4?

Let's go.

Open up! Police!

- We know you're in there!

- We'll kick the door!

- We're comin' in! Hold it!

Whoa. Whoa!

Whooooaaaaah!

What the--

oh, this is neat!

I can do anything with

this car I want. Watch.

- Fly, boys!

- Can't they go any faster?

They usually get a year's rest.

They're doing their best.

Fly!

Come on, boys!

Oh, wow!

Ohhh!

Come on!

That's it, boys!

Come on, now!

Come on!

That's the way.

That's the way. Come on.

That's my good boys.

Come on!

Yippee!

Oh, my gosh!

Joe! Joe!

Come on, boys!

That's patch in there!

If you love him like he loves

you, give it all you got!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on, blitzen!

Come on, donner!

Can we go higher?

Of course, Joe.

Something's happening!

Patch! Oh, no!

Do something! The super-dooper looper.

It's the only way.

Come on, donner!

You can do it!

I know you can do it!

Come on! Faster!

Come on!

Faster!

What's going on?

Here we go! Hang on!

Here we go!

Give it all you got!

Come on, now! Come on!

Hah! Hah!

Come on, donner!

Come on! You can do it!

Santa! It's Santa!

Santa! Aah!

All right!

Santa!

Dash it away, donner!

Dash it away!

Joe!

Oh! Oh, my boys!

I've seen some reindeer in my time,

but you're the best, the best!

We did it! We did it!

Ha-ha-ha!

Well done, donner!

Way to go, donner!

Patch, this is corny.

Corny, meet patch.

Hi, corny.

Nice to meet you, patch.

Yeah.

What about corny?

Can I stay? Just till next Christmas.

Please?

And you can give her

a lift home next year.

Well, dooley? As if I

don't have enough to do.

Now I'm going to have to be

a school teacher.

School?

School?

Hey! What's going on?

Let-- let me down!

It's Christmas

all over the world tonight

it's Christmas

all over the world

all my life

I learned if I was good

did everything I should

that dreams

would all come true

I can see

a special time when we

join hands around one tree

and make Christmas

last forever

when Santa's flying

in his magic sleigh

goes all around the world

in just a day

from the north pole

to the Southern tip

he makes his trip

with love to give away

in his sleigh

it's Christmas

all over the world tonight

all over the world

it's Christmas

all over the world

it's Christmas

all over the world tonight

all over the world

it's Christmas

all over the world

it's Christmas

all over the world tonight

all over the world

it's Christmas

all over the world

it's Christmas

all over the world tonight

all over the world

it's Christmas

all over the world

it's Christmas

all over the world tonight

all over the world
