The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause Page #7

- I missed you too.

Ohh.

Hey, you guys know what happened?

- No.

- We ticked each other off. That's it.

Like families all over

the world do on Christmas Eve

that love each other,

ticking each other off.

They don't have to be perfect to be good

families. We just have to be together.

I'm still so very sorry

that we added to all

this pressure that you're under.

I think that we should apologise.

Don't you?

No. It's good I'm tough on him.

I'm his father-in-law. It's my job.

As long as you promise to do it

every Christmas, it's fine.

We'll see about that.

I'm a busy guy.

And so am I. And I'd like

to show you guys what I do.

- The SOS.

- The SOS is about secrets,

secrets aren't for families. I'm tired

of keeping you from your family.

So if you guys would

follow me to my factory.

Elves?

Elves! Stop working for a minute.

I'd like you all to say

hello to the in-laws.

Hello, in-laws!

- Hello.

- How ya doin'?

- Elves.

- Oh, my.

They're not Canadians. They're elves.

Never said... in person...

Listen, if they're elves,

this is not a toy factory.

This is probably Santa's workshop.

- And if this is probably...

- If this is Santa's workshop,

...then... he...

- Then he's the guy.

Hey, you... you're the guy.

You're Father Christmas.

It's a little freaky,

but... you'll get used to it.

- Whoa!

- Oh!

Whoa!

If you're Father Christmas

that means

I'm Father Christmas' father-in-law.

That means I'm...

I'm Father-in-law Christmas.

And I'm Mother-in-law Christmas.

Whoa!

Whoa!

Hi, Santa!

Hi, Bud!

Sylvia.

Oh, the little pellets behind me?

I'll clean those up later.

Santa, where do you keep

the Phillips screwdrivers?

Oh, elf construction. Talk to Irv, OK?

Oh, oh, Cupid!

At this altitude you might

consider an underdiaper.

I don't mind the draught.

- That was Cupid.

- Yeah.

Hello, Santa.

- Father Time.

- Father Time. What next?

Well, hello, Santa.

This is a blast!

Mother Nature.

- How can I ever thank you for this?

- Oh, don't thank me.

- He's the one who brought us here.

- Dad.

Charlie!

- Hi, Santa!

- Hey, Tooth.

- Hi, Santa.

- Sandy.

Checked in with Curtis and found out you

were behind, so I called professionals.

Uncle Scott!

- Lucy, what's happened?

- I found her locked in a closet.

What's wrong?

You've got to see what Frost

did to my mom and dad.

It's gonna be OK.

Yeah, and...?

Elficers, I have him.

Jack, this isn't funny.

Unfreeze the parents right now.

No way, Claus. I can't unfreeze them

without unfreezing myself,

and that is something I'll never do.

Mother Nature, help me out.

- Can you thaw him out?

- I'm sorry, Santa.

Our powers don't work

on legendary figures.

Isn't that a shame?

- What do you say, Luce?

- Do you think it'll work?

The question is, do you?

OK.

This is what you're all reduced to?

Sending a little girl in

to save the day, are we?

What you gonna do, adorablise me?

Sweet me into submission?

Cute me to death?

Make me change my... way!

Hey.

I feel so strange.

It's so gushy inside.

Do I smell suntan lotion?

I feel so tropical.

What's happening to me?

I'm warming your heart.

But they told me it couldn't be done.

But they didn't know

about magical hugs.

I think I like it.

Mom, Dad!

- Lucy!

- Mom! Dad!

Group hug!

- Feel the love.

- Yes.

- Oh, Scott. It's time.

- Oh, about 10:
00.

It's time to deliver the package.

No. Midnight, as usual.

No, it's time to deliver the package.

- Yeah.

- It's time to deliver the package!

Baby Claus is on the way!

And then the most magical thing of all

is that I got to deliver

just before Santa had to deliver.

Are you telling the stories again?

So cute!

Make sure you get to the part about

Santa changing a mean diaper.

So who got to pick out the name?

That was easy.

We named him after his grandpa.

That's right.

Say hello to Buddy Claus.

What's going on?

- Keep rolling. Don't cut.

- Ready, boys?

- Ready?

- Calm down.

We'll do it right, Marty. Mark!

Marker. Action!

Do you like carrot juice?

Beta carotene gives me a buzz.

Honey!

- I'm built for speed and comfort.

- Ohh.

You... You weird me out.

Oh, God.

Look, I'm not gonna... evoke?

Invoke.

- Look, I'm not gonna evoke...

- Invoke!

Easy!

I'm not gonna invoke...

Frost. He turned the North Pole

into an amusement park.

Why is that... Why is that funny?

North Pole?

Is my fly down?

Frost.

Is my acting somehow

humorous to you?

- Well, I'm Santa now.

- Really? You don't look like Santa.

Well, I am... I'm sorry.

- That was good.

- That was good.

All of a sudden Rosemary Clooney

showed up. "Well, I am."

Mother Nature, can you thaw him out?

Can you thaw him...

- Tim!

- What?

I was laughing

'cause it was in the scene.

- There's no laughing in the scene.

- I was happy.
