George:
Now Louie told them about the true meaning of christmas. About God's love, and the baby Jesus. About how giving very often makes us feel better than getting. Knowing the truth about christmas made everybody very happy. Well, almost everybody...

(Cuts to Mr. Nezzer, discouraged by the happy faces of Dinkletown.)

Mr. Nezzer:
They're not whining. Why aren't they whining?

Mr. Lunt:
I don't know, boss.

(Mr. Nezzer resumes watching from his telescope, spotting Louie on the TV screen.)

Louie:
So this christmas, instead of whining for more toys, let's try to be thankful for our families...

Mr. Nezzer:
Hmm... That's my toy. That's my TV studio! Mr. Lunt, somebody's trying to ruin my christmas!!

(Cuts back to Louie and Junior, ending their broadcast.)

Louie:
So you see, that's what christmas is really about.

Junior:
And if we remember that, this will be the best christmas ever!

(Mr. Nezzer and Mr. Lunt march into the TV studio with the penguins.)

Mr. Nezzer:
Decided to borrow my TV studio, huh? Uh-oh! It looks like we're about to experience some technical difficulties!

Louie:
No! Don't!

(The TV screen shows Junior and Louie being surrounded by the penguins just as the screen turns to static. Dad Carrot looks over to see Nezzer's toy factory. We then cut to the veggies and Louie, tied up in a sled.)

Mr. Nezzer:
So you're the guys who wanna ruin my christmas!

Bob:
N-n-no, that's not it at all! We just want everyone to know what christmas is really about!

Mr. Nezzer:
Do you think they care?

Bob:
Well...

Mr. Nezzer:
Do you really think they care all about that giving and love stuff?

Bob:
(uncertain) Well...

Mr. Nezzer:
Listen, the only thing kids wanna know about christmas is that they're gonna get more toys, and I intend to keep it that way. That's why I'm gonna have to send you boys on a little trip. Let's see. Where would you like to go? Wibblestown? Bumblyburg?

Larry:
Just don't send us to puggslyville. The bridge is out.

Mr:
Nezzer: Puggslyville! Oh, I hear it's nice this time of year! Mr. Lunt, four tickets to puggslyville, please!

Mr. Lunt:
Right away, boss!

Louie:
Way to go.

(The troubled four are sent right to the exit leading to Puggslyville.)

Mr. Nezzer:
The plunger, Mr. Lunt! (the plunger is pulled back, prepared to push them) Now on my signal... Three... Two... One last thing. If those people really cared about what you had to say, where are they now?

Dad Asparagus:
We're right here!

Mr. Nezzer:
Huh?

(All the families of Dinkletown appear right before Mr. Nezzer.)

Dad Asparagus:
We care very much about the true meaning of christmas, Mr. Nezzer!

Dad Carrot:
That's why we came here! To give you what you deserve!

Mr. Nezzer:
(innocently) Wha--wha--oh! You didn't really think I was gonna... heh... oh, that was just... just a joke! I wouldn't... (guilty) What are you gonna do?

Laura:
(confronts Mr. Nezzer with a stern face) Mr. Nezzer... (now with a smile, handing him a present) Merry christmas!

Mr. Nezzer:
Huh? Is that for me? (opens up the present) Oh, it's a little bear! Oh, I always wanted a christmas present, but we were too poor! You don't know how happy this makes me! Look! Isn't it cute?

Bob, Larry, Junior and Louie: (nodding) Uh-huh! Uh-huh!

Mr. Nezzer:
I'm really sorry for all the trouble I caused and I'm gonna make it up! What? Oh, no! Mr. Lunt! Another sled! (Mr. Lunt presses the button, giving Mr. Nezzer a purple sled) I'll save them!

(The penguins are on the alert, rescuing the boys, the parents are frightened. The penguins got their sleds, jumping down to tunnel.)

All:
Whoa!

Mr. Nezzer:
Hang on, boys!

(Seven penguins sliding down all around. Cuts back to sled ride with the boys.)

Bob:
Larry, see if you can reach the knot!

Louie:
Watch it! You bumped me to my... buzzsaw! That gives me an idea.

(Louie cuts the rope, the sleds pop out.)

Mr. Nezzer:
Hmm? What are they doing?

Louie:
Okay, everybody whose got hands, start tying. That'd be me.

(The boys' sled has jumped, Mr. Nezzer's sled has jumped, seven penguins and their sleds jumped together. Cuts back with Louie and the veggies. Making the knot.)

Louie:
It's ready.

Bob:
Louie, even this doesn't work. I just wanted to know that you're a really nice toy.

Louie:
Thanks.

(Junior saw the wrong way sign of Bumblyburg.)

Junior:
Hurry up, guys!

(Louie uses the rope to throw up to the sky, and the rope just caught to the tree.)

Bob:
You got it!

Louie:
Hang on!

(The boys spinning around the left side, gets bumped to a tree. The boy got bumped in the snow. Cuts back to Mr. Nezzer.)

Mr. Nezzer:
They did it! They're saved! Oh... boy!

Louie:
(gasps) Mr. Nezzer!

Mr. Nezzer:
Whoa!

Louie:
We got to save him!

(Louie saw some penguins.)

Louie:
Hey, penguins! Hey!

(Louie saw the penguins as they zoom over to Louie. Then the penguin got Louie.)

Louie:
Whoo, thanks for the lift.

(When Louie goes on the ride with the penguin, Larry and Junior saw if Louie was on the sled. Then cuts back to Louie.)

Louie:
Let's see what this baby can really do!

(Louie turns on the buzzer, the penguin freaked out, his arm got down to the snow. The penguin and Louie goes fast.)

Louie:
Whoa!

(The penguins are on the sleds, but the one is fast. Various penguins got the penguins' arms, three of them are fast. More of the penguins got their arms, Louie's buzzer is stuck. A bunch of penguins are faster. Mr. Nezzer is on the sled thinking, when he saw the broken bridge. Mr. Nezzer freaked out, the buzzer is harder Louie is safe, and including Mr. Nezzer. He jumped off the cliff, the penguins jumped off the cliff. Mr. Nezzer jumped, Louie jumped, and the penguins are falling. But the one is fine. The penguins tried to get Louie a bunch of times, the one penguin is going to save the penguins and Louie, he got it when his feet are stick to it. Mr. Nezzer falls down as his sled fells down, the penguins and Louie got Mr. Nezzer. When he saw his sled falling down to the iceberg. Mr. Nezzer, Louie and the penguins are stuck. Mr. Nezzer needs his help.)

Mr. Nezzer:
A little help?

George:
And that's where we found them. Why if I hadn't had a which on my truck. They'd probably still be there today.

Annie:
Wow, there's a good christmas after all.

George:
Annie, it was a great christmas.

(Cuts to Dinkletown, at nighttime.)

George:
The next day, everyone got together to exchange gifts. Why, even Mr. Nezzer was there!

(We see silhouettes of everyone inside the house.)

Bob:
Oh, Mr. Nezzer! How did you know?

Mr. Nezzer:
Oh, I have one just like that back home.

Bob:
It's just what I've always wanted!

Mr. Nezzer:
You can take it back if it doesn't fit.

Annie:
What about Louie? What happened to him?

George:
Well, he ended up living in Dinkletown. At first, he wanted to have his buzzsaw surgically removed so nobody would get hurt. But then he finally figured out what it was good for.

Annie:
What?

George:
Making furniture!

(We see a smaller house and the silhouette of Louie by the window, carving the wood.)
