WHO'S IN THERE?

I SAID OPEN THIS DOOR!

BOY, HE'S CROSS.

OPEN UP IN THERE!

WHO IS THAT?

I'LL BREAK THIS THING DOWN,

I SWEAR.

SO... WE NEED TO TALK.

I DON'T THINK

RIGHT NOW:

IS A VERY GOOD TIME

TO TALK, NICK.

ACTUALLY, I THINK

IT'S A GREAT TIME TO TALK.

WHAT--

[WHOOSHING]

WHAT IS THAT?

THAT'S A WAY OUT.

[SANDY SCREAMS]

WELCOME.

I THINK I HIT MY HEAD

ON THAT MIRROR.

MM-HMM.

HELLO, MY FRIEND.

WHERE ARE WE EXACTLY?

A LITTLE PLACE:

I LIKE TO CALL HOME,

ADJACEN TO THE NORTH POLE.

SO THEN...

THESE WOULD BE YOUR...

YES, THEY ARE.

AND THAT...

THAT WOULD BE YOUR...

YES, IT IS.

AND THAT...

THAT IS YOUR...

YES, HE IS.

THIS IS AMAZING.

YES, IT IS.

WHAT DO YOU SAY,

RUDOLPH?

YOU WANT TO GO FOR A RIDE?

HEY!

OK, MEATLOAF,

YOUR TIME IS UP!

NOBODY GETS AWAY

FROM BUCK SEGER.

[BUDDY BELLOWS]

[GASPS]

OH, WOW.

SO...

YOU'RE...

YOU'RE SANTA CLAUS.

YEAH, WELL...

NOT SANTA CLAUS EXACTLY.

[SANDY LAUGHS]

UM...

YOU HAVE REINDEER

THAT CAN FLY,

YOU LIVE IN THE NORTH POLE

ADJACENT,

YOU HAVE THIS...

NEWS FLASH:

YOU'RE SANTA CLAUS.

RIGHT, BUT THERE'S

A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

THE LEGEND OF SANTA CLAUS

AND LITTLE OLD ME, YOU KNOW,

BECAUSE MOST OF THE STUFF

YOU HEAR ABOUT SANTA CLAUS

YOU KNOW, IT'S MYTH,

OR MADE UP.

FABRICATION.

YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE,

ALL THE LITTLE ELVES

RUNNING AROUND HELPING SANTA?

PURE 19TH CENTURY INVENTION.

AND FOR MY MONEY,

ACTUALLY A LITTLE BIT CREEPY.

AND YOU KNOW,

WHEN I LAUGH,

THERE'S NO BOWL

FULL OF JELLY,

I DON'T SHAKE LIKE

A BOWL FULL OF JELLY.

I MEAN, LOOK AT ME.

SO, THIS IS WHERE...

I MAKE THINGS. YEAH.

WAIT A SECOND...

I HAD ONE OF THESE.

YOU HAD ONE OF THOSE?

YEAH.

THEN YOU MUST HAVE

BEEN PRETTY GOOD.

THAT WAS MY DAD'S FAVORITE.

SO WHERE ARE THE RES OF THE TOYS?

THIS IS IT.

I MAKE ONE OF EACH TOY.

AND THEN...

YOU KNOW THAT STORY

I TOLD THE KIDS?

YEAH.

[JINGLING]

[SANDY LAUGHING]

WOW.

IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY NEAT.

AND THERE'S ALWAYS ENOUGH.

HEY, WHY DID YOU

WAIT UNTIL NOW:

TO TELL ME THE TRUTH

ABOUT ALL THIS?

SANDY, I TRIED.

BUT, UH...

AH, IT'S OK.

SO THEN, WHY ME?

WELL, UH...

'CAUSE OF BUDDY.

OH!

SO THAT'S WHY THERE WAS

NO PAPERWORK ON THE REINDEER

THAT BUCK BROUGHT IN.

BECAUSE...

THEY DIDN'T COME

FROM A FARM.

NOT FROM A FARM.

AND BUDDY'S ALWAYS

WANDERING OFF:

INTO THE FOREST.

SO BUCK TOOK HIM.

AND I TRIED:

TO GO DOWN:

AND SAVE HIM,

AND THE SLEIGH DOESN'T FLY

WITH ONLY SEVEN REINDEER.

AND THIS IS BUDDY'S

FIRST CHRISTMAS,

SO HE HASN'T LEARNED

TO FLY YET.

THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE

DOING THAT NIGH IN THE REINDEER PEN?

YOU WERE TEACHING BUDDY

HOW TO FLY?

I WAS TRYING.

YOU COULD CALL IT THAT.

AND THEN YOU PUT CARL,

THE REINDEER PEN GUARD THERE.

THIS IS MY FAULT.

NO.

NO, IT IS. I RUINED CHRISTMAS

FOR EVERYBODY.

I'M A-- I'M SCROOGE.

NO, NO, YOU'RE...

YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.

AND...

BUDDY'LL LEARN TO FLY.

HE WILL?

I THINK.

BUCK'S GONNA TAKE BUDDY

TO THAT HUNTER.

BUCK...

WE'VE GOTTA GO.

WE?

YES.

[ENGINE STARTS]

THE FIRST TIME:

I SAW YOU,

I FORGOT TO BREATHE.

YOU WERE WITH BUDDY

YOU WERE SO SWEET AND

KIND AND GENTLE AND...

BEAUTIFUL.

AND, UH...

I THOUGHT TO MYSELF,

THAT'S IT.

SHE'S IT.

AND I LET DOWN:

MY GUARD AND...

COULDN'T STOP

THINKING ABOUT YOU.

AND I THOUGHT THA IF I COULD JUST SOMEHOW

FIND A WAY TO LET YOU

GET TO KNOW ME,

THEN ME BEING WHO I AM

WOULDN'T BE SUCH A BIG DEAL.

THAT SOMEHOW:

YOU COULD SEE PAST IT.

AND SEEING YOU:

IN MY WORLD TONIGHT...

I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE MY WORLD
