The Santa Clause 2 Page #3

Ouch!

Good morning, Principal Newman.

Mr Picardo, I want you to look into|my eyes. What do you see?

It's dark. And it's cold.

It's your future, Mr Picardo -|keep this up

and you will spend|your life stabbing trash.

- Do I make myself clear?|- Yes.

- So what are you gonna do?|- I'm going to geometry.

Have a nice trip.

It's an affront to authority and|blatant disrespect for property.

If this continues I'll have no|other recourse than to suspend..

Excuse me. Is there a rest stop between|here and the end of the lecture?

I'm more interested in why this|happened in the first place.

So am l. Charlie, we're all|worried about you.

It feels like you're trying to|get someone's attention.

What's bothering you?

- Dr Miller?|- Neil.

- Neil, any theories?|- Well, frankly I have several.

Here we go.|Let's just order a pizza.

Scott, you're not helping.

I was listening to a tape series|on child development last night.

You know what the problem is?|Excuse me, Neil.

It's four weeks until Christmas.

- That's a holiday in December.|- Oh.

Have you noticed the hallways?|Not a decoration, not a twinkle light,

not an expression of the joy|kids are supposed to be feeling.

- What kind of school is this?|- A public school.

A top-rated public school.|That takes effort. And money.

Spending any of that money|on holiday decorations

would take away from|the things that truly matter.

Forgive me, but I think|holiday cheer really matters.

What are we going to do?|We are worried...

Let me handle this. You know|what you did is wrong. Right?

- I guess so.|- There's no guessing.

Guessing is gone.|It was wrong what you did.

And you're not gonna|do it again. Promise me.

- OK.|- There you go.

He won't do it again.|Meeting is adjourned.

It most certainly is not!|Charlie...

You know what else?|Here's a little donation.

Why don't you|buy yourself a wreath?

I am Santa Claus.

Boo!

Yeah. No, no,|I think that this is gonna work.

Good... Good job, Curtis.

Would it kill you to give|a wholehearted compliment?

Ho, ho, ho.

- Ho, ho, ho.|- Santa?

- I need you to look at this.|- All right!

Nice!

No. I mean,|I need you to read it.

Well, let's try to be|specific, shall we?

Ha-ha!

I'll take a look at it|over at my desk.

- How does he know where it is?|- I programmed him that way.

He has most of Santa's memories.

OK, we need you to study|everything that's in that book

because it is the key|to being Santa.

Right! I'll memorise|everything in the book.

I'll follow all the rules.

Cos rules are very important!

- I like this guy.|- I can barely read this.

Hi, Santa.

Uh...

- Hi.|- Oh. You look...

Like he got|a good night's sleep.

Like you got a very|good night's sleep.

How about a nice|chocolatey cocoa?

- Careful, it's hot.|- Of course it is.

Aagh!

Whoo!

That's delicious! I like cocoa!

Cocoa's superior refreshment!

Get me some more cocoa!

Whoo!

Right away, Santa.

Ho, whoa!

I think Santa feels|a little buzz!

Whoooo!

Let me get this straight.|You were de-Santified?

And you only have 27 days|to find a wife or you're out?

Yeah.

What are you gonna do?|We dated for three years

before you got up|the courage to propose.

That's a pretty serious|commitment issue, isn't it?

Yes, Sigmund. I was afraid|I'd mess up the first time.

- I'm more afraid now.|- Dad, you can't give up.

There's never been|a better Santa.

I appreciate that.

It's for the best. If l|had spent more time with you,

you'd spend less time in|the spray paint industry.

Don't do that to yourself.|You have been a great dad.

And being Santa has made you|an even better man.

I'm gonna go out|on an emotional limb.

Don't try to make me cry.

Believe it or not, you have|a great capacity for love.

I know you can|find someone wonderful

to spend the rest of|your life with.

Don't let the facts that you|have no time, no prospects

and a paralysing fear of|intimacy get you down.

Hm.

Have you ever|helped anyone? Ever?

You know what I'm gonna do? I am|gonna look through my phone book

and see who's still single out|there and not too bitter.

There's divorced moms at school|who'll go out with anybody.

As promising as this sounds,|I don't need help with this area.

Your old man was a high-school|legend. A double letterman.

I had a Mustang.

So as far as dating goes,

I think if anybody can stir up|the old mojo it would be moi.

Come on! I don't think|there's a woman out there

that doesn't want|a piece of this.

- Hi, Mom!|- Lucy!

- Uncle Scott!|- How's my little sweet pea?

Ohh! I haven't seen you in a long time.

- Tell me what's been happenin'.|- I learned to swim underwater.

- And I'm not afraid!|- That's amazing!

Maybe we'll have to go to the mall|and... get some ice cream.

- Plenty of women at the mall.|- Charlie...!

Santa, look forward and|put on a smiley face.

- Say hello to your elves.|- Ho, ho, ho!

You're doing a wonderful job!

Santa, when you said the bigger|wheels, is this what you meant?

Ho, ho, ho!

You're doing a wonderful job!

You're doing great.|Dial it down on the ho-ho-ho's,

but otherwise you're gold.

Ho, ho ho!

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!

Why don't you just say it? "You|were right, Curtis. I was wrong."

OK, OK, I admit it.

They're happy.|They're working hard.

Everything's going to be fine.

This book is very|interesting reading.

There's a lot of rules|they're not following.

That's what I've been|saying all along.

Things have gotten|a little too sloppy around here.

Yes! Sloppiness means mistakes.|Mistakes aren't a good thing!

I might have to|make some changes here.

- What do you have in mind?|- Let me show you.

There's many things.|Look here...

Neil, are you sure you don't have|any other clothes I can borrow?

I mean, the idea tonight|is to attract a woman.

- What are you talking about?|- I look like a limesicle.

I think it makes you look hot.

What do you think, Laura?|Honestly, what do you think?

Doesn't he look hot, Laura?

I think it's what's inside|that really counts.

- Thought you liked the sweater.|- We'll talk later.

I'm off.|I may need to borrow a car.

I'm parked behind Neil. The|minivan - I just had it washed.

The minivan.

OK, then. Well, wish me luck.

I got a needlepoint sweater,|and a minivan...

See ya in about eight minutes.

Scott? Hey.

- Tracy!|- Yes!

- It's nice to meet you.|- Nice to meet you.

- Here, why don't you sit down?|- Oh, thank you.

Thank you very much.

So, I'm so glad|we finally got to do this.

- I'm pretty nervous.|- Oh, are you?

Laura says|we have a lot in common.

I hear that you love|this time of year also?

It's my favourite time of year|and my busiest time of year.

- Whoa, look at the sweater!|- Yeah!

Some sweater.|Like I should talk!

I also have my Christmas|charm bracelet.

- That's beautiful. Look at 'em!|- Yeah.

I wear it all year long|just to keep the spirit alive.

That's gorgeous. A little teddy bear|and packages. That's very nice.

- So what work do you do?|- I'm in the toy business.

- No way!|- Way!
