The Town Christmas Forgot Page #6

Synopsis: On his way to a luxury resort for the Christmas holiday, banker Charles Benson's car breaks down, so his family gets stuck in Nowhere, Colorado, a sleepy town which seems to be dying since its mine closed. Son Nolan befriends the grumpy old former toy shopkeeper, and pushes the charmed grump to become the naturally perfect Santa in the Christmas pageant his mother helped organize despite the disheartened mayor. Charles gets stuck in the mine with the mechanic, whom he befriends, and ends up as the real Christmas benefactor.

Well, it's too late

for that now.

I'm gonna go look

for Santa.

Okay.

Let's go.

Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo! Yeah!

Okay, come. Good job.

You're next.

Hey.

What are you

doing here?

Uh, just a little unfinished business.

How's it going?

Don't ask.

I can help you

get the girls ready.

Thank you.

Oh.

Oh, here buddy!

Here!

Now he catches it.

Teddy!

When are you on?

We're on next.

Oh!

What are you

doing here?

We need a Santa Claus

for the pageant!

Go home, kid.

I promised them

I'd find Santa.

Deck the halls

with boughs of holly

Fa la la la la

la la la la

Tis the season to

be jolly

fa la la la la

la la la la

Don we now

our gay apparel

fa la la la la

la la la la

Troll the ancient

yuletide carol

Fa la la la la

la la la la

Follow me

in merry measure

Fa la la la la la

la la la la

While I tell

of yuletide treasure

Fa la la la la

la la la la

Deck the halls

with boughs of holly

Deck the halls

with boughs of holly

Deck the halls

with boughs of holly

Deck the halls with boughs

of holly, deck the halls!

Yeah, Trish. Woo!

She was awesome!

She's

really really good.

She gets it all from her mother.

Attitude too.

You get ready.

Everyone, it's not

over 'til it's over.

You did before,

just like in your picture.

Ya, well what did they do for

me when I needed them, huh?

The Mayor, the local bigwigs,

they sold me out. All of them!

But what would a kid

know about that?

What would a kid know about losing

everything that mattered to ya

because of the greed

of others?

You wanna know about other people,

you take a look out there.

You take a look at them empty

stores, them deserted streets,

that's what other people

do for other people!

They take away

everything.

But what about

all those new toys?

Well, that's for the day we reopen.

If that ever happens.

I think you need

a time out.

What's that?

You know, when a kid

does something bad

and his parents tell him

he needs a time out?

Grownups think it helps.

You need a time out.

So what you do is sit there

quietly and think about stuff.

What kind of stuff?

Your parents usually tell you to

think about what you did bad.

And what's that

supposed to do?

I dunno, usually

by the time I sit down

I forgot what I was

supposed to think about.

So you figure, that I should

forget about what they did to me?

Yeah, so you could be

Santa.

I'm just not gonna get

rid of you, am I?

Good job, good job!

There he is!

What now?

No.

Yes, I think now

is the perfect time.

I, I just don't think,

he's not gonna like it.

Oh, I'm so proud

of you.

Okay, girls,

come here.

Just remember,

lead with your right.

Where's Sydney?

She's not coming.

Her knee swelled up to

the size of a beach ball.

It looks like

your size.

No.

You know you wanna.

No way!

I'll pay you all my allowance

for the next month.

The next two months,

promise.

Oh my.

Is that your Mom?

I don't believe it.

Go get 'em, girls.

I didn't know

Mom could still dance.

Well, she can.

We're a hit!

That was so cool!

Jeremiah!

Jeremiah!

I think I can help you.

Not now, Charles,

I can handle this.

I can't believe it!

We wish you

a merry Christmas

we wish you

a merry Christmas

we wish you a merry Christmas

and a happy new year

Good tidings we bring,

to you and your kin

good tidings for Christmas

and a happy new year

Oh bring us

some figgy pudding,

oh bring us

some figgy pudding,

oh bring us

some figgy pudding

now bring it

right here.

We won't go

until we get some,

we won't go

until we get some,

we won't go until we get some,

so bring it right here.

Ho, ho, ho! Merry

Christmas, everyone!

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

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Nolan!

Merry Christmas!

I have a very special

gift for you.

I'll take good care

of it.

I gotta say. We're

gonna miss you guys.

Your family sure has

touched this town.

Well you're gonna, you're

gonna be seeing more of us.

Really?

I've been able to

arrange the ski lift loan.

Oh.

Okay did you hear

what I said?

I said, I've been able to arrange

to get you the $400,000.

Yeah, it's just uh,

hold on, everybody.

Why would you wanna go on

and do somethin' like that?

For these people. Because,

because they deserve it.

And just like that,

you're gonna go on

and give Nowhere almost

a half a million dollars?

When I first came to

this town I thought,

I thought it was finished.

But then I got to

know the people

and I realized that there

is so much more here.

I mean,

I saved a man's life.

Look, and I saw that

there was hope.

And it, it came in the form of, I

dunno, a bunch of singers and dancers,

and chickens.

You're a banker,

aren't ya?

Yes.

Well, you're gonna need

approval.

Yeah, I will have to

ask the bank president,

but um,

I think I'll say yes.

You're?

Well?

Sure!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas.

Thanks!

I lovI love you.

We wish you

a merry Christmas

We wish you

a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

and a happy new year.
