The Ultimate Christmas Present Page #2

---

I Am So Out Of Here.

Cranberries.

It's Just A Machine.

It's Just Wires And Gears.

Wait A Second.

W-W-Wait....

Oh.

What Do You Think

It Is?

I Don't Know.

Put It Back.

Why? He Threw It Out.

But It's Still

Not Yours.

It's Garbage.

It's Anybody's. Come On!

Contraption...

Never Works Right...

More Trouble Than It's Worth.

Oh, No!

(Telephone Rings)

(Ring)

Creative Catering.

Ruben Speaking.

Excuse Me, Did You

Just Say Christmas Eve?

Ok, No Offense,

But You're Crazy.

Christmas Eve Has

Been Booked Solid For,

Like, 8 Months Now. Hello!

Hello?

He Hung Up On Me.

Well, That's Because

You Insulted Him.

I Did Not Insult Him.

I Told Him The Truth.

He's Crazy.

Christmas Eve Bookings.

Plan Ahead, People.

Mom, When Are We

Going To Get

Our Christmas Tree?

We're Going To Get The Tree

As Soon As Dad Comes Back

From San Francisco.

But All The Good Ones

Will Be Gone By Then.

Well, Then We're Just

Gonna Have To Stand

Uncle Don And Aunt Gwen

Up In A Corner And

Decorate Them, I Guess.

Are They Really Coming?

Joey...

But Uncle Don Always

Smokes Those Smelly Cigars,

And Aunt Gwen Never

Gets My Name Right.

She Always Calls Me Josie.

That's The Name

Of Her Own Poodle.

Hey, Everybody!

Sure Smells Good

In Here.

Yeah, We Never Get

To Eat The Good Stuff.

We Get Frozen Dinners.

Hah, You Do Not.

You Get Takeout.

How Was School?

Uh...Fine. We're

Going To Go Upstairs

And Do Some Homework.

Walk!

You Know That Tv Show

Where People Take Their

Junk To Some Expert,

And He Tells Them It's

Worth A Million Dollars?

Well, Maybe This Is

Worth Something.

Or Maybe It's

Just Junk.

Nah, It's Too New

To Be Junk.

It's Kind Of

Cool-Looking.

I Wonder What It Does.

Oh, What Did You Do?

I Just Touched

That Button.

Well, Try Another One.

Maybe It'll Turn It Off.

(Whistle Blows)

Wow!

Awesome!

Oh, This Is So Cool.

Hey, I Think

You Figured Out

How It Works.

Yeah.

Now Help Me Stop It.

(Thunder Rumbles)

Aah!

You'll Flood

The Place!

I'm Trying Not To!

Let's Try This.

(Thunder Rumbles)

That Is So Cool!

Wow! Let Me Try!

No, No, No, No, No.

(Thunder)

Aah!

Aah!

Oh! Whoa,

How Fierce Is That!

What's Fierce?!

Hey, Joey, Stay Out!

Why?

'Cause I Said So.

You're Not

The Boss Of Me!

Mom! Allie's

Bossing Me!

No, I'm Not!

Joey:
Are You Wrapping

My Christmas Present?

What Did You Get Me?

Don't Tell Me!

Let Me Guess.

You Got Me A Football.

No, No, No.

I Know.

You Got Me A Poster

Of The Laker Girls!

Joey! Stay Out, Or I'm

Not Getting You Anything!

I Mean It!

You'd Better Hide It Good,

Or Else I'll Find It.

I Always Do.

My Turn!

Check Out These Symbols.

This Must Be Some Sort

Of Weather-Making Machine.

I Wonder What

This Swirly Line Means.

Whoa!

Whoa, Whoa!

Turn It! Turn It!

Turn It!

Here, Let's Try

This One.

Aah! Earthquake!

Aah! Earthquake!

Do You Feel That?

Oh, Don't Panic!

Get Under A Table

Or An Open Doorway!

Get A Transistor Radio!

Get Some Bottled Water!

Get Some Canned Goods!

Just Try And Stay

Calm, Ok?

It's Ok. It's Ok.

It's Over. It Was Just

A Truck Passing By.

Yeah, Right. That's What

They Said Just Before

The Big One In '94, Remember?

Ooh, Sorry!

It's Ok.

At Least We Know What

That Jiggly Line Means.

We'll Just Leave That One

Alone From Now On.

Let's Try The Snow One.

Wow!

Oh, This Is So Rad!

Why Would That Man

Throw It Out?

Maybe He Didn't Mean

To Throw It Out.

Yes, He Did.

We Saw Him.

Well, We Should Bring It

Back. I Mean, This Thing

Could Flood A City

Or Cause A Blizzard

Or...

Do I Even Want To Know

What's Going Through

Your Mind?

Sam, How Would You Like

To Start Christmas Vacation

A Day Early?

How?

With A Snow Day.

A What?

A Snow Day. You Know,

My Cousin Stan Lives In Boston,

And He Said

Every Once In A While,

They Get So Much Snow

That They Have To Close

Down The Schools

'Cause They Can't Clear

The Roads Fast Enough.

We Do It With This.

We'll Just Put It Outside,

Crank Up The Volume,

And Make It Snow Real Hard.

Are You Nuts? Do You

Know How Much Trouble

We Could Get In?

Sam...How Happy Would

Everybody Be If We Actually

Had A White Christmas In L.A.

For Like The First Time Ever?

We'd Be Doing

This Incredible Service

For Our Community.

Well...

And Guess What Else?

If Tomorrow Is A Snow Day,

Then We Have

2 Extra Weeks To Do That Dumb

Creative-Writing Assignment.

And Even More Important,

We Have A Whole Extra Day

To Plan What We're Going

To Wear For Blake's Party.

Am I Brilliant Or What?

In A Mad Scientist

Sort Of Way.

Mrs Thompson:
Allie!

Oh, Hurry, Hurry, Hurry!

I Need Your Help, Honey.

Yeah, Mom.

What Have You Guys

Been Doing In Here?

Uh...

The Floor's Soaked!

Oh, Sorry, Mom.

We'll Clean It Up.

Allie I Have 5

Parties In 2 Days.

I Need Some Help.

Ok.

Now! Get Some Towels,

Mop Up The Water So It

Doesn't Ruin The Floor.

And How Many Times Have

I Told You To Put Your

Dirty Clothes In The Hamper?

I'll Do It.

I'll Do It, Mom.

Don't. Don't. I Got It.

Ugh!

W-W-What Are You Doing?

Shh!

It Isn't Working.

Mmm, Maybe It Just

Takes Some Time.

Well, It Was

A Great Idea Anyway.

Better Get Started

On That Paper.

P.A.:
All Dollies

To Loading Dock B.

All Dollies

To Loading Dock B, Please.

Shirley, Has Santa Called In

From The Summer Cabin Yet?

Shirley:
No, Mrs. Claus.

All Right. Well, Then,

Send In The Elves.

Shirley:
Right Away.

Hey, Mrs. Claus!

Get Ready

To Be Impressed!

Say Good-Bye

To The Old North Pole

And Hello

To The New.

Santa's 21ST-Century

Toy Factory And Warehouse.

Every Square Inch

Of The 10-Mile Radius

Completely Automated.

Absolutely Nothing

Is Touched By Elfin Hands.

And Since Elves Are

Going To Be Obsolete,

We're Going To

Retrain Them To Be...

Telemarketers!

Taking Phone, Catalogue,

And Internet Orders

24 Hours A Day,

365 Days A Year.

I Know What You're

Thinking, Mrs. C.

"Crumpet,

What About Tradition?

"Won't The Public

Be Disappointed

With The Fact

That Santa Has Entered

The Digital Age?"

"No," We Say.

Phooey!

Because Half

The Stuff They Print

About Us Anyway,

Is Totally Wrong.

Heck, People Still

Think We're 3 Feet Tall

And Have Squeaky

Little Voices.

Ha Ha Ha.

So, What Do You Think,

Mrs. C?

Hey, Don't Beat

Around The Bush, Mrs. C.

All Right.

I Think It's The Worst

Idea I've Ever Heard.

Both:
Ohh.

Well, Is That

A "No" Or A "Maybe"?

(Telephone Rings)

Excuse Me.

Hello?

(Ring)

Hello?

(Ring)

Hello!

Mama, The Weather

Machine Is Missing!

Oh! The Weather

Machine Is Missing?

Huh?

Santa:
It's Gone.

Santa:
It's Vanished.

It's Disappeared!

Oh, I Never Should've

Tossed It Out.

Mrs. Claus:

You Tossed It Out?

It Wasn't Working Properly,

And So I Was Frustrated,

And I...

I Threw It In The Trash.

And When I Went

To Get It Back,

It Wasn't There Anymore.

All Right, Darling.

It Must've Been

Just Misplaced.

Did You Search

The Cabin?

Yes.

Mrs. Claus:

Retraced Your Steps?

Yes!

Tell Him
