The Santa Clause 2 Page #6

Synopsis: Scott Calvin has been Santa Claus for the past eight years, and his loyal elves consider him the best Santa ever. But Santa's got problems (he's even mysteriously losing weight) and things quickly go south when he finds out that his son, Charlie, has landed on this year's "naughty" list. Desperate to help his son, Scott heads back home, leaving a substitute Claus to watch over things at the Pole. But when the substitute institutes some strange redefinitions of naughty and nice, putting Christmas at risk, it's up to Scott to return with a new bag of magic to try to save Christmas.

Well... I don't know|how you did it.

It's like some kind of magic.

Yeah, sort of like|some kind of magic.

And... and pretty much|the last that I have.

What? Well, what...?|You know what?

I don't want to know.

What you did in there tonight|for everyone was wonderful.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have done that.

- Is that OK?|- Yeah.

Got this weird feeling|in the pit of my stomach.

I'm, um...

I'm not...|real good at this.

Where did that come from?

I don't know.

Hi! Merry Christmas!

Ho, ho, ho!

Can I have your attention?

Stop the work, please.|Everybody stop the work.

- Merry Christmas!

That's nice. I have a little|announcement to make.

From this moment forward, we're|not gonna make any more toys.

The children of the world|don't deserve presents.

They're running rampant|with naughtiness.

This Christmas we're gonna|give those greedy kids

exactly what they deserve.

A beautiful, high-quality|yet low-sulphur variety of coal!

Quiet!

We have to focus,|all of us, on the goals ahead.

And just to make sure|that that happens...

Thank you, sweetie.

I... I hate to blow my own horn.

Stay where you are!|Don't be afraid!

Back! Back!

I was up late, couldn't sleep.

Milk wouldn't do it,|cocoa is a little sweet,

so I decided to make|an army of toy soldiers.

They don't have|a good sense of humour like me.

I would do what they ask you.|Which is what I'm going to tell you!

Don't listen to him!|This guy's not Santa!

- He's not Santa?|- He's a toy!

He has a rubber face|and a plastic tushy!

Trust me!|Don't let him ruin Christmas!

Thank you for|those kind words, Bernard!

Well, now that we all|have an understanding,

have a joyous and|merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

OK, ready? Go!

This is what I call|community service!

Here she comes. Duck down!

Hey!

Attention you hooligans|behind that snow bank!

You have snowballed|the wrong house.

Drop the snowballs, kick them|away from the snow suits

and keep the mittens|where I can see them.

Your dad is hanging with|Principal Newman?

- Is he dating her?|- No.

Go to your homes.|Uh... pelt the ones you love.

- And a merry Christmas!

- That is really gross, man.|- Shut up.

There are things about me you|should know. Personal things.

We don't need to|rush things, Scott.

I think you need to|know these things.

OK.

Um...

Remember the mistletoe,|how it just showed up?

- Yes.|- And the sleigh.

- How magical that was?|- Yes.

Secret Santa Claus?

- That was me.|- Yeah?

I'm not this size much. I'm|usually much bigger than this.

So am I sometimes.

I have a big white beard|that's beautiful.

- I don't.|- I work a long way from home.

When I get back home,|I sleep for a long time.

See? OK.|It's not so bad so far.

You work far away from home|and you sleep a lot.

You've never been to prison|and you don't wear socks with sandals.

Well...

I'm Santa Claus.

What?

The suit, the red suit's real.|The North Pole is a place.

There are elves. They make toys.|They're beautiful and it's real.

- I exist.|- That's not funny.

- It's magical.|- Cut it out.

I'm telling the truth.

I told you something personal|from my childhood

and now you're making a joke|out of it and it's not funny. It hurts.

I know how hard this is to|believe, but connect the dots.

- Think what's happened.|- I know what's going on.

- Think about the little girl.|- You felt something for me.

Now you're acting like a mental|patient because you're scared.

- I deliver gifts in a sleigh.|- lncredible.

I go down chimneys with burning|logs and I still deliver gifts.

I'm not scared.|That's not what this is.

If you're trying to|push me away, it's working.

Carol, don't make me leave.

Please.

- How could you pick her?|- I didn't.

You don't care any more.

I care more about you|than anybody.

But it's a two-way street.

- You won't confide in me.|- You want it? Here it is.

- What? Talk to me.|- I don't live a normal life.

- You live a great life here.|- Just listen to me!

My friends get to go around|saying, "My dad's a plumber."

"My dad's a pilot." "My dad's|a dentist." You know what?

My dad is the best thing of all|and I can't tell anyone.

You have no idea how hard it is,|walking around with that secret.

And now you're going out|with Principal Newman!

And you don't even|tell me about it.

My whole life has become|about secrets, and I hate it!

I'm sorry.

Forget about|Principal Newman, all right?

And forget about Santa.|I'm done.

My time's up.

Who cares any more?

- Hi, Charlie.|- Hi, Lucy.

- What are you doing?|- Just shovelling.

Oh.

Charlie, is Uncle Scott|Santa Claus?

No.|Why would you think that?

I don't know.

- How come Uncle Scott was sad?|- What makes you think that?

I asked him to stick|a straw in his nose

and blow bubbles|in his milk.

- And he said no.|- Whatever.

- Can you talk to him?|- I don't think so, Lucy.

- Did you have a fight?|- Sort of.

- Are you gonna make up?|- I don't know!

- Are you gonna be mad forever?|- Lucy!

- What?|- These are hard questions.

No, they're not. They're easy.

And you can't be mad|at him forever, Charlie.

He's your daddy|and you love him.

Dashing through the snow

In a strip-mining machine

Flatten the hills we go

Come on!

Put a smile on that face,|little troll!

Wait a minute. I got a joke.|This'll cheer you up.

- Knock, knock!|- Who's there?

- Aren't you?|- Aren't you who?

Aren't you supposed to|get back to work?!

All of ya! You little idiots!|Back to work!

Got any twos?

Hm.

Go fish.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Whooaahh!

- What was that?|- I don't know.

- Want some more hot chocolate?|- Mm-hm.

OK.

- Would you get that, honey?|- Yeah, sure.

Is S... Scott here?

- Who are you?|- Uh...

Curtis, a friend from...|Buffalo.

- Are you an elf?|- Of course not!

Why would you ask|such a silly question?

How come you have pointy ears?

It's... because I never|ate my green vegetables.

Do you eat|your green vegetables?

Uncle Scott!

Yeah, I'm right here.|What's wrong?

Oh... Curtis! What are you doin' here?

There's a little|trouble at the...

plant.

It's OK.|Curtis is a very old friend.

We have a large, uh... firm.|We work together in...

- Buffalo.|- Buffalo?

We work together in Buffalo.|So... we're gonna talk business.

- What business?|- It's none of your business.

Soon I'm gonna be seven.|And then I can know things.

- Good night, Curtis.|- Good night, Lucy.

Good night, Lucy.

- What's up?|- Toy Santa's out of control.

He's locked up the elves,|shut down the workshop,

he thinks everybody's naughty|and he's gonna give everyone coal!

- Why didn't Bernard tell me?|- He's under house arrest.

Bernard?!

Fly back with me to the North|Pole to save Christmas!

I can't. I have no magic left.|I'm out of magic. Look.

Grrrr!

- I thought you had Comet.|- Yeah, we...

Yes! Come on!

Hey, Comet. We just...

Comet?

Comet?

Look at me.

- Comet...!

What are ya doin'?

- Eating sugar is bad for you.

What do you mean,|you didn't eat this?

Who did?

A squirrel?!

Get this. You gotta fly both|of us back to the North Pole.
