Snow

Synopsis: For the Christmas holidays, Buck Seger has been tasked with getting some reindeer from a game farm for the San Ernesto California Zoo. Sandy Brooks, an animal keeper at the zoo, is a lonely woman who uses the animals as a surrogate for human affection. Despite this, she detests Buck, who is continually pestering her to go out with him. In his task for the zoo, Buck, indulging his big game hunting passion, decides to get one of the reindeer from the wild instead. He inadvertently captures Buddy, one of Santa's new reindeer. Santa not only has come to San Ernesto to rescue Buddy, but also to teach Buddy to fly, all before Christmas Day. Santa can travel between the North Pole and any location in the world via mirrors. While in San Ernesto, Santa names himself Nick Snowden. To get Buddy back, Nick figures he has to get close to Sandy, a move that does not sit well with Buck. Nick manages to move into the boarding house where Sandy lives. Getting Buddy back is more difficult than Nick firs

WE COULD SPEND THEM ROLLED UP

IN A BEARSKIN RUG,

IN FRONT OF A ROARING FIRE.

THAT SOUNDS REALLY FUN

FOR THE SKINLESS BEAR.

FINE, WE'LL ROLL

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

WHAT WERE YOU:

POSSIBLY THINKING,

WANDERING OFF LIKE THAT?

AND LESS THAN A WEEK

BEFORE CHRISTMAS,

WHEN YOU'RE SUPPOSED

TO BE LEARNING TO FLY,

I MIGHT ADD?

ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT.

THIS IS MY FIRST CHRISTMAS

AS THE MAN IN RED,

THE BIG S.C., THE JOLLY

OLD SAINT NICK, OK?

AND I NEED A LITTLE

HELP ON THIS, BUDDY.

WITH ONLY SEVEN REINDEER,

SLEIGH CAN'T FLY.

SLEIGH DOESN'T FLY,

THERE'S NO CHRISTMAS.

NO CHRISTMAS!

PUT THAT IN YOUR LITTLE

REINDEER BONNE AND THINK ABOUT THAT.

YOU'RE STUCK IN A PEN

WITH ALL THESE N.F.R.s,

"NO-FLY REINDEERS,"

AND BUDDY,

OH, WHAT WOULD DAD SAY?

WHAT?

NO, BUDDY, YOU CAN FLY.

YOU CAN FLY.

TRUST ME, TRUST NICK.

YOU CAN FLY, BUDDY.

YOU JUST NEED A LITTLE

AERIAL ACUMEN.

YOU NEED A RUNNING START.

AND THAT'S ALL,

IT'S JUST A RUNNING START.

IT'S LIKE A STEP,

STEP, LEAP.

IT'S STEP, STEP, LEAP.

YOU STEP, STEP, LEAP.

YOU GOTTA THINK "SWAN LAKE."

STEP, STEP, LEAP...

JUST STEP, STEP, LEAP.

20 BUCKS SAYS HE WAS DUMPED

SANDY:
OK, MISTER!

YOU MIND TELLING ME

WHAT YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?

AH!

OOH!

LUCKY YOU, YOU GET TO SEE

BUCK SEGER IN ACTION.

SANDY:

HEY, STOP!

HEADING TOWARDS THE PRIMATES.

CARL:

BUCK:

AH!

SANDY:

BUCK:

WITH BUCK SEGER.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

WE SHOULD CALL THE POLICE.

I WANT A PIECE:

SANDY:

THE SIGN SAYS PULL.

FINE,

IF YOU WANT TO DO I THE EASY WAY.

WHERE DID HE GO?

DON'T WORRY.
