Season #1 Episode #6

---

George:
And so the pig and the giant lizard brought the boy back to his family at the bowling alley and they all lived happily ever after. The end.

Annie:
That was a neat story, Grandpa George. Can you tell me another one?

George:
Oh, I'd love to, Annie. But if you don't get some sleep, you're gonna be pooped tomorrow. And you know what tomorrow is.

Annie:
Christmas?

George:
That's right! So let's just close our little eyes...

Annie:
Oh, please, Grandpa, just one more story!

George:
Oh... Your mom's gonna be--

Annie:
Oh, she won't mind. Just one more story. A christmas story!

George:
Ehhh... Oh, all right. I suppose one more story won't hurt. Besides, what are grandpas for, anyways?

Annie:
Oh, thank you, Grandpa George!

George:
Now let's see, a christmas story... Oh, did I ever tell you about the town that didn't get christmas?

Annie:
You mean they didn't have christmas?

George:
No, I mean they didn't get Christmas. They had christmas. They loved the packaging and the toys and everything, but they didn't understand what Christmas was really about! Now let's see, what was the name of that... Dinkletown! That's it! I used to deliver the mail there!

(Cuts to daytime, George driving his truck down to Dinkletown.)

(Captions "Big Idea Productions Presents" and the title "The Toy That Saved Christmas" comes up.)

George:
Now the children of dinkletown loved to see me around christmas time 'cause they all thought they was getting something.

Laura:
I can't believe it's christmas

I think I'm finally getting something

Can't believe it's christmas

My favorite time of year!

Percy:
I can't believe it's christmas

Been dreaming of a sugar plum thing

Can't believe it's christmas

Oh boy, it's finally here!

Geroge:
(as all the kids are hopping merrily around him) Whoa! Now wait a minute! I only got one package today, and it's for house number four! Now let's see, which one's house number four?

Kids:
Ho ho, away we go with rosy cheeks and hearts a glowing

Hey hey, our favorite day, it makes us wanna cheer

Percy:
Yo ho, we love the snow

Li'l:
At least we know we won't be moving

Kids:
Ya hey we'd like to say that christmas time is here!

(The head of the snowman falls. George dodges quickly, but the package is sent hurling towards the roof of a house stuck.)

George:
Uh-oh.

Kids:
We can't believe it's christmas

Been waiting for a million hours

Can't believe it's christmas

Oh what a nifty day!

We can't believe it's christmas

Lenny:
Took fourteen baths and eighteen showers

Kids:
Can't believe it's christmas

And now it's time to play!

We can't believe it's christmas

We think we're finally getting something

Can't believe it's christmas

Our favorite time of year!

We can't believe it's christmas

Been dreaming of a sugar plum thing

Can't believe it's christmas

Oh boy it's finally...

George:
Oy, my spinely!

Kids:
Boy it's finally here!

George:
Where did the...? Oh, number four. Well, that was easy.

(George falls back down. Cuts to inside of the house, where the kids open up the package.)

Laura:
What is it?

Junior:
It's got a button!

Lenny:
Push it! Push it!

(The button is pushed, forming a christmas tree.)

Kids:
Ooooh!

(Suddenly, a commercial is displayed on the TV.)

Mr. Nezzer:
Ho ho ho! Merry christmas! Say, kids, have you got the don't know what I want for christmas blues? Well, if I know anything about toys--and you know I do--I know just what you're looking for! You want a toy that's fun. You want a toy that's cute. But most of all, you want a toy with a fully functional buzzsaw built into its right arm. That's right - You want buzzsaw louie! Cool, huh? But wait, there's more! Buzzsaw Louie also knows the true meaning of christmas. All you have to do is press his nose...

Louie:
Christmas is when you get stuff! You need more toys!

Mr. Nezzer:
Just as soon as your parents phone in and order Buzzsaw Louie, one of our trained penguins will deliver him right to your door!

Announcer:
Delivery not available to Puggslyville due to the collapse of the puggslyville bridge.

Mr. Nezzer:
So take it from me, Mr. Nezzer--I mean Santa Claus and my little elf helper.

Mr. Lunt:
Look at me! I'm an elf!

Mr. Nezzer:
You just won't be happy until your parents get you a buzzsaw louie, the only toy with a working buzzsaw and the true meaning of christmas.

Louie:
Billy has more toys than you!

(Outside, the children are running over to their homes, whining and bickering.)

Junior:
Mom! Mom! I need more toys!

(Cuts to Percy's house.)

Percy:
Billy has more toys than me!

Dad Pea:
Who's Billy?

Percy:
I don't know. But he has more toys than me!

(Cuts to Laura's house.)

Laura:
I want a buzzsaw louie!!

Lenny:
I want ten buzzsaw louies!!

Both:
'Cause that's the true meaning of christmas!!! Waaaaaahhhh!!

(Mr. Nezzer is viewing upon the children's fidgeting.)

Mr. Nezzer:
Oh, it's working! It's working wonderfully!

Mr. Lunt:
What's working, boss? You mean you wanted those kids to be all whiny?

Mr. Nezzer:
Mm-hmm.

Mr. Lunt:
I don't get it, boss.

Mr. Nezzer:
You see, Mr. Lunt, the only way their parents would get them to stop whining is to buy them lots of toys. And as the owner of the nezzer toy factory, I'll make out like a bandit!

Mr. Lunt:
Whoa-ho, boss, you are very wily!

Mr. Nezzer:
More wily than my brother, Nebby K?

Mr. Lunt:
You mean the one with the chocolate factory that I used to work for? Oh, you're much more wily than him!

Mr. Nezzer:
Good. Soon everyone will know that Wally P. Nezzer is the wiliest nezzer of them all!

Mr. Lunt:
Oh, there's no doubt about that, boss!

Mr. Nezzer:
Well, fire up the assembly line, Mr. Lunt! We got money to make, and that's what christmas is all about!

(Cuts back to Annie and George.)

Annie:
That's not what christmas is about!

George:
I know that, and you know that, but Wally P. Nezzer is a little confused. And thanks to his TV commercial, so was everybody else! The kids were whining and the toys were flying off the assembly line just like he planned.

Annie:
That must've been the worst christmas ever.

George:
Oh, yes, it would've been, if it wasn't for what happened next.

Annie:
What? What happened?

George:
Well, as the toys were coming down the assembly line having their noses tested, one of them winced.

Annie:
Winced?

George:
He grimaced. Made a face. Didn't like the sound of the words that was coming out of his own head.

Annie:
But he was just a toy.

George:
Maybe he was wired different. Who knows? Anyways, that night while all the other toys were waiting to get sent out, he was doing some thinking.

Louie:
Grumpy kids, greedy dreams

This is not what christmas means

I'm just a toy, I don't claim to be a genius, but there must be more to christmas...

There must be more to christmas

I think we're really missing something

Must be more to christmas...

But... What?

George:
Yes, there had to be more. Louie didn't know what it was, but he figured it was about time somebody found out!
