The Ultimate Christmas Present Page #8

---

Helping Me Today, Allie,

And I'll Never Forget That.

Oh, Please.

I May Lose My Lunch.

Can We Just

Get On With This?

I Have A Pulitzer Prize

To Win.

(Sighs)

Edwin.

Edwin, Edwin, Edwin.

I Couldn't Be

More Ashamed.

I Remember You

As A Child, Edwin.

You Were Bright, Inquisitive.

You Weren't A Crook.

What Happened, Edwin?

Hmm?

What Made You

Such A Selfish Snob?

What Made You So Mean?

It's--It's Not Fair.

Hmm.

What's Not Fair?

Everything!

Ever Since

I Was A Little Boy,

All I Wanted To Be

Was A Meteorologist.

While Other Kids

Were Playing With Toys,

I...I Was Busy Playing

With Thermometers.

They'd Look

At The Clouds

And See Ponies

And Ice-Cream Cones.

All I Could See

Were Condensed Forms

Of Atmospheric Moisture!

(Sobbing)

Oh, Mr. Martino

Was Right.

I'm A Failure.

Oh, Edwin.

Edwin,

You're Not A Failure.

What You Need

Is A New Challenge,

A Place Where The Weather

Is Exciting,

A Place Where You Can

Share Your Knowledge

With People Who Have

The Same Passions

That You Do, Hmm?

But Where?

If I Could Go

To Such A Place--

I'll See

What I Can Do.

Really?

Yes.

But If And Only If

You Promise To Be Good

From Now On.

No More Lying, Cheating,

Or Stealing.

Oh, And, Um...

Nothing About

Our Little Adventure.

Do I Have Your Word?

As A Gentleman.

And More Importantly,

As A Meteorologist.

But How?

You'll See, Edwin.

You'll See.

Sparky:
We're Ready, Santa!

Good! Good!

Well, Let's Get Moving, Hmm?

Christmas Is Upon Us!

(Laughs)

But First Things First.

We Have To Get You Two Home.

Um...

Santa, I Kind Of

Have A Little

Favor To Ask.

(Whispers)

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas,

Mom.

Merry Christmas.

Thanks, Joey.

Now, Allie, I Want

To Tell You Straight Up.

I'm So Sorry.

I Know It's Been

A Yucky Christmas,

But There Is No Big Present

For You Under That Tree,

And I Know You

Wanted The Rollerblades,

And I Tried.

I Really Did.

But With The Storm,

There Was Just No Way.

It's Ok, Mom.

I'm Really Sorry, Honey.

To Tell You The Truth,

I Forgot All About Them.

Well, There

Is Good News.

With All My

Cancelled Parties,

We Are Gonna

Be Having

Turkey Sandwiches

For The Next

5 Years.

(Laughs)

Mom?

Let's Not Open Anything

Until Dad Gets Home.

Yeah. We Should Wait.

Are You Sure?

'Cause It Might

Be A While.

I Mean, The Airport's

Just Reopened.

The Roads, Some Of Them

Are Still Closed,

So, I Mean,

There's A Good Chance

That He Might Not Even

Make It Back Today.

Well, We'll Just Wait

Until He Does.

Joey:
Yeah.

Ok.

Santa:
Your Gift Should

Arrive Right About...

(Car Horn Honking)

Hey, Everybody!

Allie! Joey!

It's Dad!

Hey! Kids, I'm Home!

Dad!

Dad, You're Home!

Hey! Whoa!

Merry Christmas,

Buddy!

How Did You Manage

To Get A Ride In That?

Oh, Well, The Flights

Were All Booked Up,

And I Was In

This Never-Ending Line

For A Rental Car,

When I Met

These Two Guys Who Said

They Were Going My Way.

Hey, Thanks, Guys.

Merry Christmas!

They Have

The Strangest Names.

Sparket And Crumpy.

Sparky And Crumpet.

How Did You Know That?

It's Kind Of A Long Story.

Oh!

This Has Your Name

On It.

Oh, Honey!

Oh, I Don't Believe It!

How Did You--

I Thought It Was

Pretty Appropriate,

Considering.

You Know, Even

With The Blizzard

I Would Have Found

A Way To Get Here,

One Way Or Another.

I Love You So Much.

I Love You, Too.

In Fact, I Love

All Of You So Much,

And Being Here Is...

I Don't Know,

It's...

The Ultimate

Christmas Present?

That's Exactly Right,

Allie.

It's The Ultimate

Christmas Present.

Thank You, Santa.

(Santa Chuckles)

You're Welcome, Allie.

Samantha:
Allie!

Mrs. Kwan:

Merry Christmas!

(Shrieks)

Good Morning, Class,

And Welcome

To The South Pole!

Campus To

The Edwin Hadley

Meteorological

Institute.

In The Next 6 Months,

You'll Be Learning

Everything

From Tracking

Storm Clouds

To Measuring

Levels Of Precipitation

To Assessing

Ozone Layers.

This Class

Will Be Technical.

This Class

Will Be Difficult.

He's So Cool!

And Most Important,

It'll Be Fun!

What Do You Say?

Are You Ready?
