The Ultimate Christmas Present Page #6

---

No, You Know What?

Your Party Is Gonna

Go Off Without A Hitch.

Despite The Storm.

I Give You My Word

As A Caterer.

I Give You My Word

As A Mother.

Absolutely.

Uh-Huh, No Problem.

Allie:
Yeah.

I Understand.

Mm-Hmm. Ok.

Thanks. Bye.

That Was Blake.

He Cancelled

The Party Because

Of The Storm.

This Is So

Out Of Control,

Allie.

This Thing Is

Single-Handedly

Destroying

Our Lives.

Thanks, 'Cause

I Didn't Feel

Bad Enough Already.

(Huffs)

Sam, Where You Going?

Sam!

Sam, I Tried Everything.

Well, We'll Just

Have To Try Again.

I'm Telling You,

It Won't Work.

(Gasps)

(Gasps)

Hey, Joey?

What Are You Doing?

I Saw It.

Saw What?

My Present.

Don't Pretend

It's Not Out There.

Joey, That's Not

Your Present.

Yeah, It Is.

I Told You

I'd Find It.

I Can't Believe

You Hid It In

The Flower Box Again.

Uh, Duh.

That's Where You Hid

My Birthday Present.

Joey,

I'm Telling You

That's Not

Your Present.

Then What Is It?

None Of Your Business.

I Saw An Antenna.

Is It A Boom Box?

No. Joey, Look,

It Maybe Yours,

Or It May Not Be,

But You've Got

To Leave It Alone.

I Don't Want You

Near That Window

Again,

Do You Hear Me?

Mom!

Uh, Mrs. Dombrowski,

Can You Hold On Just

A Second? Thank You.

What?!

Joey's Bothering Us!

No, I'm Not!

Joey, Come Down Here

Right This Instant.

But, Mom!

I Said, Come Here!

Mrs. Dombrowski:

Come There?!

I Can't Even--

Not You.

Mrs. Dombrowski,

I'm--You--You Can

Stay Where You Are.

I Knew I'd Find It.

Heh Heh Heh.

Look, Why Don't We

Just Go And Give That Man

Back His Machine?

No.

Why Not?

Because Mom Doesn't Want Us

Going Outside.

Besides, I'm Kind Of Scared

To Go Back There,

Not That We Did

Anything Wrong Or Anything.

You Mean, Besides Burying

The City Of Los Angeles

Under 10 Feet Of Snow?

Anyways, I Don't Think

We Can Find That Place

Again, Even If We Tried.

Well, We've Got To Do Somethin.

Let's Smash It

With The Hammer.

No Way! That Can

Make Things Worse.

How Do You Know?

I Don't,

But What If It Does?

Ok, Then What Do We Do?

'Cause We Can't Just Sit Here--

I've Got An Idea.

The Machine's Antennas

Are Pretty Small,

And They're Sending Snow

To San Francisco, Right?

Yeah.

Well, If We Make

The Antennas Longer With

Coat Hangers Or Something,

Then We Can Send The Signal

All The Way To Outer Space.

And Cause A Blizzard

All Over The World?

Great Idea.

We'll Be Responsible

For The Next Ice Age.

Stop Being Such A Pessimist.

I'm Not.

I'm Being Realistic.

If You Hadn't

Stolen The Machine,

None Of This

Would've Happened.

I Didn't Steal It.

I Took It Out Of The Garbage.

If You Were So Worried About I,

Then Why Didn't You Stop Me?

I Tried To.

No, You Didn't.

You Were Too Chicken,

Like Always.

Chicken?

Yeah, Chicken.

(Loud Pop)

Great,

The Electricity.

What Are You Gonna

Do Now, Einstein?

I'd Help You Out,

But I'm Too Chicken.

Uh, Yeah, That Was

The Electricity.

(Woman Complaining And Sobbing

On The Other Line)

Are--Mrs. Dombrowski?

Are You Crying?

Look, I'm Really Sorry, Ok?

I Didn't Mean It.

It's Just...I'm Getting

Really Scared Right Now,

And I Don't Know

What To Do Anymore.

D-Do You Have

A Lead Box?

What?

I Don't Know.

It Worked For Superman.

If You Put That Thing

In A Lead Box,

Maybe It'll

Stop The Rays

From Getting Out.

Well, My Dad's Got

A Big Toolbox In The Garage.

We Can Put The Machine In It

And Then Bury It

In The Backyard.

Let's Go Get It.

Ok, But We've Gotta

Be Quiet.

Mom Doesn't Want Us

Going Outside.

Yeah. No. I Understand,

Mrs. Dombrowski.

No--Yeah. Ok. Bye Bye.

Ugh!

Let Me Guess...

She Canceled.

Yeah.

Good! I'm Glad.

They Don't Call Her

"Cheapo Dombrowski"

For Nothing, You Know.

We Would Have Been

There Till

3:
00 In The Morning

And Not Even

Have Gotten A Tip.

Well, I Better

Get Home.

I Don't Want

To Miss The Excitement

When The Pipes Burst!

Ruben, You Really

Ought To Think About

Staying Around

Until At Least

The Storm Calms Down.

What? At This Rate,

That Will Be, Like,

The Fourth Of July.

Well...

Shh!

Mom! The Girls

Are Sneaking Out!

What Are You Doing?

We're Just

Going Outside.

No! I Told You

To Stay Inside,

And I Meant It!

Um, But We're Just

Going To The Garage.

It's Going To

Get Dark Soon,

And Dad's Got

A Big Flashlight

Out There,

The One

For Emergencies.

Ok, Go.

Can I Go Outside, Too?

No!

Why Not?

Joey! Please!

Come On!

There's Some Boxes

Over There,

And I Think

There's Some Shovels

On The Workbench.

Uh, Samantha,

Can You Open That?

Open It? I Can't

Even See It.

Ouch!

Man:
Ouch!

Second Man:
Ow!

Third Man:
Ow!

Samantha?

Is That You?

Just The First One.

(Gasps)

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Not So Fast!

You've Got Some

Explaining To Do, Allie.

You, Too, Samantha.

Who...

Allie...

You Are Number 263

On My Los Angeles

Naughty Girl List.

Um...

You Mean You're...

You're...

But You Couldn't Be.

Oh, No, No, No.

Of Course Not.

It's Utterly Impossible,

Isn't It, Allie?

Oof!

Or Should I Use

Your Full Name, Hmm?

Allison Rachel

Thompson.

Your Favorite Food

Is Thick-Crust Pizza

With Sausage

And Extra Cheese.

You Have A Big Crush

On Blake Lynch,

Who Sits Near You

In English Class,

And Your Best

Friend Is Samantha

Elizabeth Kwan.

I Love It

When He Does This.

Yeah. He's Good.

You Are President

Of Grant Junior High's

Spanish Club.

You Brush Your Teeth

3 Times A Day,

Which Is Very Good,

But You Seldom Floss.

Now Do You Believe

I'm Santa?

No. Anyone Could Have

Figured That Out.

If You're Really Him,

Then Tell Me

What I'm Thinking

Right Now.

He's Santa, Kid,

Not The Amazing Kreskin.

You Want Something

A Little More

Personal, Is That It?

All Right.

Samantha,

When You're Alone,

You Like To Dance

To Ricky Martin Music

And Pretend You're

Married To Him.

You Do?

No!

Heh Heh Heh Heh.

Shall I Go On?

No!

Allie...

Even Though...

Your Friends

May Think You Have

The Perfect Family,

We Both Know That

Things Aren't Always

The Way You'd

Like Them To Be.

The Fact Is

That You, Your

Mother And Father

And Even Little Joey

Are So Busy Going

In A Million

Different Directions

That No One

Ever Has Time

For One Another.

And Even Though You

Put On A Brave Face

And Act Like It

Doesn't Bother You,

It Does.

Sometimes

It Makes You

Very, Very Sad.

Allie, You Never

Told Me That.

Ok, So...

If You're

Santa, Then...

Who Are They?

Oh, Pardon Me.

This Is Crumpet

And Sparky,

2 Of My Elves.

Elves?

Yes.

But They're

So...

Don't Say It!

Tall!

She Said It.

Do You Have

A Problem With That?

(Doorbell)

Channel 3

Action Now News.

Oh, Hello!

I Didn't Recognize You.

M-May I Come In?

Yeah, Um...

Excuse Me.

I'm So Sorry.

Is There Something

I Can Help You With?

Congratulations!

You've...

Won Our Special

Contest,

An Afternoon

With Edwin.

Really?

Oh! Well...

Well, That's Great.

I--I Don't Remember

Entering Any Contest.
