- - Ask him.
- - Shh.
- 3
- 00:01:58,293 --> 00:02:01,570
- - Ask him.
- - Shh!
- 4
- 00:02:03,658 --> 00:02:06,171
- Look at him, grandpa.
- Ask him!
- 5
- 00:02:06,172 --> 00:02:08,348
- Ryan, that's enough.
- 6
- 00:02:10,615 --> 00:02:15,738
- Uh, I'm sorry.
- He, uh... he thinks you're Santa Claus.
- 7
- 00:02:23,691 --> 00:02:25,312
- I am.
- 8
- 00:02:27,456 --> 00:02:29,744
- Merry christmas.
- 9
- 00:02:29,779 --> 00:02:31,494
- Uh, merry-Merry christmas.
- 10
- 00:02:33,076 --> 00:02:35,305
- Nuts.
- I should have got his autograph.
- 11
- 00:02:43,550 --> 00:02:46,376
- Dashing through the snow
- 12
- 00:02:46,411 --> 00:02:49,202
- In a one-horse open sleigh
- 13
- 00:02:49,237 --> 00:02:52,135
- O'er the fields we go
- 14
- 00:02:52,170 --> 00:02:55,032
- Laughing all the way
- 15
- 00:02:55,033 --> 00:02:57,831
- Bells on bobtail ring
- 16
- 00:02:57,866 --> 00:03:00,629
- Making spirits bright
- 17
- 00:03:00,630 --> 00:03:03,555
- What fun it is to laugh and sing
- 18
- 00:03:03,556 --> 00:03:06,501
- In a sleighing song tonight
- 19
- 00:03:06,536 --> 00:03:09,447
- oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
- 20
- 00:03:09,448 --> 00:03:12,247
- jingle all the way
- 21
- 00:03:12,282 --> 00:03:15,062
- oh, what fun it is to ride
- 22
- 00:03:15,063 --> 00:03:17,455
- in a one-horse open sleigh
- 23
- 00:03:17,490 --> 00:03:20,840
- hey, jingle bells, jingle bells
- 24
- 00:03:20,841 --> 00:03:23,695
- jingle all the way
- 25
- 00:03:23,730 --> 00:03:26,243
- oh, what fun it is to ride
- 26
- 00:03:26,244 --> 00:03:30,447
- in a one-horse open sleigh
- 27
- 00:03:33,229 --> 00:03:35,250
- What is the problem?
- 28
- 00:03:35,251 --> 00:03:38,609
- Your Santa Claus is wearing
- a topcoat and a fedora.
- 29
- 00:03:41,490 --> 00:03:44,607
- Ya-ha! Ha ha ha ha!
- 30
- 00:03:44,608 --> 00:03:46,944
- That's not my Santa Claus.
- 31
- 00:03:47,918 --> 00:03:51,944
- Right. Now... throw it out...
- 32
- 00:03:51,945 --> 00:03:55,753
- Bring it up right up high,
- and down she comes!
- 33
- 00:03:58,149 --> 00:03:59,880
- It's just in the wrist, you see.
- 34
- 00:04:00,755 --> 00:04:03,960
- It's really quite simple, you know,
- when you get the knack.
- 35
- 00:04:04,424 --> 00:04:06,627
- Now then, why don't you-
- 36
- 00:04:10,427 --> 00:04:13,685
- o. k., pops, come on. It's my turn.
- Give me the whip.
- 37
- 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,026
- What have you been drinking?
- 38
- 00:04:15,027 --> 00:04:17,253
- Just something to keep me warm.
- 39
- 00:04:17,254 --> 00:04:19,004
- You are intoxicated, sir.
- 40
- 00:04:19,039 --> 00:04:20,757
- And you're a pain in the butt.
- 41
- 00:04:20,792 --> 00:04:22,881
- You are a disgrace.
- 42
- 00:04:22,916 --> 00:04:26,586
- You have any idea how many children
- are watching you?
- 43
- 00:04:26,587 --> 00:04:27,440
- Give me back the whip.
- 44
- 00:04:27,441 --> 00:04:31,203
- Let me tell you something-
- when you put on this suit,
- 45
- 00:04:31,238 --> 00:04:34,909
- you represent something that has
- great significance to millions of people
- 46
- 00:04:34,910 --> 00:04:36,402
- all over the world.
- 47
- 00:04:38,830 --> 00:04:43,043
- Now, I could overlook your
- poorly-manufactured jacket
- 48
- 00:04:43,044 --> 00:04:46,050
- or even your ludicrously
- unbelievable beard.
- 49
- 00:04:46,085 --> 00:04:46,491
- Hey!
- 50
- 00:04:46,526 --> 00:04:49,394
- Or perhaps your
- phonily-padded tummy,
- 51
- 00:04:49,395 --> 00:04:53,763
- but I will not tolerate
- public drunkenness.
- 52
- 00:04:53,764 --> 00:04:56,351
- You should be ashamed of yourself.
- 53
- 00:04:56,352 --> 00:04:58,094
- Can I get a cop over here?
- 54
- 00:04:58,129 --> 00:05:00,958
- That's a very good idea. Officer!
- 55
- 00:05:02,124 --> 00:05:04,068
- Hey, wait a minute, you.
- 56
- 00:05:04,103 --> 00:05:05,978
- Mrs. Walker! Mrs. Walker!
- 57
- 00:05:06,013 --> 00:05:08,362
- Mrs. Walker, we need your help here!
- 58
- 00:05:10,205 --> 00:05:12,468
- Your sense of occasion is something-
- 59
- 00:05:12,469 --> 00:05:15,801
- If you're not with the parade,
- get back on the sidewalk.
- 60
- 00:05:15,836 --> 00:05:19,881
- I need to see whomever's in charge
- to alert them to this man.
- 61
- 00:05:19,882 --> 00:05:21,564
- Kiss my-
- 62
- 00:05:21,599 --> 00:05:23,331
- Oh, easy! Take it easy!
- 63
- 00:05:23,332 --> 00:05:25,617
- Gramps, come on, hey.
- 64
- 00:05:25,618 --> 00:05:26,712
- Let's go for a little walk.
- 65
- 00:05:32,239 --> 00:05:34,627
- That man's a degenerate.
- 66
- 00:05:36,469 --> 00:05:39,037
- It's time to go right up in the old office.
- 67
- 00:05:39,072 --> 00:05:40,252
- Ha ha!
- 68
- 00:05:44,708 --> 00:05:45,801
- Little drafty there.
- 69
- 00:05:46,557 --> 00:05:49,462
- Hey, let's just watch the parade, o. k.?
- 70
- 00:05:49,463 --> 00:05:50,661
- Come on.
- 71
- 00:05:51,198 --> 00:05:53,019
- O.k. Settle in here.
- 72
- 00:05:53,020 --> 00:05:54,183
- Oh!
- 73
- 00:05:56,973 --> 00:05:58,973
- Oh, my god.
- 74
- 00:05:59,008 --> 00:06:06,356
- Get this costume fixed.
- O.k. We'll show this guy how to do it.
- 75
- 00:06:06,357 --> 00:06:09,574
- Whoa!
- 76
- 00:06:09,575 --> 00:06:11,494
- Aah!
- 77
- 00:06:15,379 --> 00:06:16,373
- Oh.
- 78
- 00:06:21,429 --> 00:06:23,350
- Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!
- 79
- 00:06:23,351 --> 00:06:27,073
- Merry christmas to all,
- and to all a good night.
- 80
- 00:06:44,540 --> 00:06:48,649
- Sir! Excuse me.
- 81
- 00:06:48,684 --> 00:06:51,327
- - Hello. I-I'm Dorey walker.
- - Oh.
- 82
- 00:06:51,328 --> 00:06:54,739
- Director of special projects for
- c. f. Cole's department store.
- 83
- 00:06:54,774 --> 00:06:58,957
- My pleasure. As a matter of fact,
- I was looking for you.
- 84
- 00:06:58,958 --> 00:07:03,187
- There's no doubt you saw
- your Santa Claus is inebriated.
- 85
- 00:07:03,222 --> 00:07:06,555
- I know. He has created
- such a terrible problem.
- 86
- 00:07:06,556 --> 00:07:09,982
- Millions of children are watching here
- and on television.
- 87
- 00:07:09,983 --> 00:07:13,744
- They're expecting to see Santa Claus,
- and now we don't have one.
- 88
- 00:07:13,779 --> 00:07:16,258
- That is a terrible problem.
- 89
- 00:07:16,259 --> 00:07:20,932
- Would you do it?
- Would you be our Santa Claus?
- 90
- 00:07:22,552 --> 00:07:23,861
- Uh, me?
- 91
- 00:07:23,896 --> 00:07:25,987
- Well, do you have any experience?
- 92
- 00:07:26,909 --> 00:07:28,710
- Well... just a little.
- 93
- 00:07:28,745 --> 00:07:30,092
- Great. I'm sure you'll be fine.
- 94
- 00:07:30,127 --> 00:07:31,846
- Isn't there someone else
- that you could ask?
- 95
- 00:07:31,847 --> 00:07:34,984
- Sir, the parade has started already.
- 96
- 00:07:35,019 --> 00:07:36,761
- It's you right now, or else
- 97
- 00:07:36,762 --> 00:07:40,658
- There's no Santa in the cole's
- thanksgiving day parade.
- 98
- 00:07:46,102 --> 00:07:49,530
- Might I perhaps have a moment
- to think about it?
- 99
- 00:07:49,565 --> 00:07:52,958
- Don't worry about a thing. Just...
- be yourself.
- 100
- 00:08:08,890 --> 00:08:11,110
- Now, dasher!
- Now, dancer!
- 101
- 00:08:11,145 --> 00:08:13,331
- Now, prancer and vixen!
- 102
- 00:08:13,332 --> 00:08:17,937
- Now, comet! Now, cupid!
- Now, donner and blitzen!
- 103
- 00:08:17,972 --> 00:08:18,965
- Hey!
- 104
- 00:08:26,974 --> 00:08:31,163
- Merry christmas.
- Merry chris-
- 105
- 00:08:31,164 --> 00:08:33,226
- This Santa Claus is fantastic.
- 106
- 00:08:34,997 --> 00:08:36,748
- Did he sign a contract?
- 107
- 00:08:36,783 --> 00:08:38,499
- There wasn't any time.
- 108
- 00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:40,594
- Myrna's going to have him sign
- after the parade.
- 109
- 00:08:40,629 --> 00:08:44,760
- She'll have him fill out his employment
- papers, and he'll start in the morning.
- 110
- 00:08:44,761 --> 00:08:48,952
- He insisted upon wearing
- his own Santa suit.
- 111
- 00:08:48,987 --> 00:08:51,288
- He has his own Santa suit?
- 112
- 00:08:51,289 --> 00:08:53,214
- Apparently.
- 113
- 00:08:53,249 --> 00:08:55,954
- Well, if it's horrible, we'll make him
- wear one of ours.
- 114
- 00:08:57,813 --> 00:08:58,979
- I'm going home.
- 115
- 00:08:58,980 --> 00:09:01,495
- You're not going to watch the parade?
- 116
- 00:09:01,530 --> 00:09:04,805
- No. I think I've had quite enough
- for one day, thank you.
- 117
- 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,325
- I will see you in the morning.
- 118
- 00:09:06,326 --> 00:09:08,805
- O.k. Chin-chin.
- 119
- 00:09:11,785 --> 00:09:13,216
- Merry christmas.
- 120
- 00:09:18,789 --> 00:09:19,847
- Susan?
- 121
- 00:09:41,543 --> 00:09:47,115
- We can see the parade from his window,
- 122
- 00:09:47,150 --> 00:09:50,763
- so put on something comfortable
- And come on over.
- 123
- 00:09:50,798 --> 00:09:54,377
- P.S., Mr. Bedford put the turkey
- in the oven.
- 124
- 00:09:54,378 --> 00:09:57,160
- He said you forgot to sew up
- the turkey's bottom.
- 125
- 00:09:57,161 --> 00:09:59,426
- The stuffing will all fall out,
- 126
- 00:09:59,461 --> 00:10:03,236
- but he told me not to say anything
- Because he loves you,
- 127
- 00:10:03,237 --> 00:10:06,321
- and he wants to kiss you, and he thinks you're
- 128
- 00:10:06,356 --> 00:10:09,406
- The most beautiful woman in the whole world!
- 129
- 00:10:17,153 --> 00:10:19,866
- Do you know how much it costs
- to make this parade?
- 130
- 00:10:19,901 --> 00:10:24,322
- Uh, a million dollars. $2 million?
- 131
- 00:10:24,357 --> 00:10:28,708
- 1.6. It's probably a big mistake.
- 132
- 00:10:28,743 --> 00:10:32,508
- Some guy's going to buy cole's
- and turn it into a junk store.
- 133
- 00:10:32,509 --> 00:10:36,810
- That's not going to happen.
- Two banks just came in and rescued cole's.
- 134
- 00:10:36,845 --> 00:10:38,118
- You better check your sources.
- 135
- 00:10:38,153 --> 00:10:41,663
- But cole's has to pay them back plus interest.
- 136
- 00:10:41,698 --> 00:10:45,615
- If they don't sell a lot at christmas,
- you can forget about it, pal.
- 137
- 00:10:46,923 --> 00:10:51,624
- Well, I think you should ask Santa Claus
- to give cole's an interest-free loan For christmas.
- 138
- 00:10:51,659 --> 00:10:53,280
- What do you think about that?
- 139
- 00:10:54,161 --> 00:10:55,666
- That's a good one
- 140
- 00:10:55,667 --> 00:10:57,808
- Well, you know what?
- It might happen.
- 141
- 00:10:57,843 --> 00:11:01,653
- Santa Claus,
- he does some pretty amazing things.
- 142
- 00:11:01,688 --> 00:11:06,387
- Bryan, you know what? I know.
- 143
- 00:11:06,388 --> 00:11:07,561
- You know what?
- 144
- 00:11:07,596 --> 00:11:09,031
- The secret.
- 145
- 00:11:09,066 --> 00:11:10,466
- What secret?
- 146
- 00:11:10,467 --> 00:11:15,177
- Santa Claus.
- I've known for a long time.
- 147
- 00:11:19,172 --> 00:11:20,726
- He's not real.
- 148
- 00:11:24,983 --> 00:11:26,222
- Says who?
- 149
- 00:11:27,667 --> 00:11:28,917
- My mom.
- 150
- 00:11:41,246 --> 00:11:45,434
- Hi.
- I believe you have something of mine.
- 151
- 00:11:45,435 --> 00:11:49,745
- About 4-foot tall, brown hair,
- talks like she's 64 years old?
- 152
- 00:11:51,925 --> 00:11:53,171
- Hey.
- 153
- 00:11:53,206 --> 00:11:56,661
- Hi. / Hi.
- 154
- 00:11:59,943 --> 00:12:02,654
- So, what do you think?
- 155
- 00:12:02,689 --> 00:12:03,508
- It's a good one.
- 156
- 00:12:03,543 --> 00:12:06,094
- Yeah? Did Santa Claus come by yet?
- 157
- 00:12:06,095 --> 00:12:10,031
- Nope. Is it Tony falacchi again?
- 158
- 00:12:10,066 --> 00:12:11,905
- No. Tony had to leave.
- 159
- 00:12:11,906 --> 00:12:13,586
- Bombed?
- 160
- 00:12:13,587 --> 00:12:14,977
- Yes.
- 161
- 00:12:14,978 --> 00:12:17,020
- It's the pressure.
- 162
- 00:12:17,055 --> 00:12:23,073
- But I got this new guy, and
- he really looks like the real thing.
- 163
- 00:12:23,108 --> 00:12:24,627
- Maybe he is.
- 164
- 00:12:29,827 --> 00:12:32,449
- Are you still coming to dinner?
- 165
- 00:12:32,484 --> 00:12:33,992
- Am I still invited?
- 166
- 00:12:34,027 --> 00:12:35,026
- Yes.
- 167
- 00:12:35,027 --> 00:12:36,137
- Then I'm coming.
- 168
- 00:12:36,685 --> 00:12:38,902
- Honey, run home and put the camera stuff away.
- 169
- 00:12:38,903 --> 00:12:40,777
- I'll put the stuff away. You keep watching.
- 170
- 00:12:42,619 --> 00:12:45,151
- Let her finish watching the parade. Come on.
- 171
- 00:12:45,152 --> 00:12:47,347
- Santa hasn't even come by yet.
- 172
- 00:12:47,382 --> 00:12:52,867
- Well, as soon as Santa does come by,
- I would like for you to come home.
- 173
- 00:12:52,868 --> 00:12:54,423
- Sure.
- 174
- 00:12:54,424 --> 00:12:56,691
- That's the end of the parade, anyway.
- 175
- 00:12:56,726 --> 00:13:00,379
- There's nothing else to see except
- guys cleaning up horse poop,
- 176
- 00:13:00,380 --> 00:13:02,841
- And that doesn't thrill me at all.
- 177
- 00:13:07,161 --> 00:13:10,705
- Hello!
- Merry christmas!
- 178
- 00:13:35,042 --> 00:13:36,283
- - Hello?
- - Jack?
- 179
- 00:13:36,284 --> 00:13:37,767
- Yes, sir.
- 180
- 00:13:37,768 --> 00:13:39,963
- I've been watching the parade.
- 181
- 00:13:39,964 --> 00:13:41,726
- It looks bigger than last year.
- 182
- 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,077
- What is the crowd estimate?
- 183
- 00:13:45,112 --> 00:13:47,696
- Well, sir, cops say over a million.
- 184
- 00:13:47,697 --> 00:13:50,194
- Last year was about 750.
- 185
- 00:13:50,195 --> 00:13:54,224
- Have marketing come up with a giveaway,
- something free.
- 186
- 00:13:54,259 --> 00:13:58,254
- I don't want a crowd outside
- cole's in the morning.
- 187
- 00:13:58,255 --> 00:14:01,001
- I hate to say this, Mr. Lamberg.
- 188
- 00:14:01,036 --> 00:14:03,891
- Cole's has got one hell of a
- Santa Claus this year.
- 189
- 00:14:03,892 --> 00:14:07,631
- If I didn'tknow better,
- I'd say he was the real article.
- 190
- 00:14:07,632 --> 00:14:10,772
- Keep an eye on this, Mr. Duff.
- 191
- 00:14:10,807 --> 00:14:15,848
- These small, seemingly insignificant,
- sentimental anachronisms
- 192
- 00:14:15,883 --> 00:14:20,038
- can be surprisingly potent.
- 193
- 00:14:20,073 --> 00:14:24,488
- I don't want my plans damaged by
- an elderly cherub in a red suit.
- 194
- 00:14:24,942 --> 00:14:26,457
- I'm on it, sir.
- 195
- 00:14:31,626 --> 00:14:32,861
- Bye-bye.
- 196
- 00:14:43,575 --> 00:14:44,881
- There we go.
- 197
- 00:14:45,533 --> 00:14:48,092
- - Ooh. Ooh. Ahh. Ahh.
- - Happy thanksgiving.
- 198
- 00:14:48,127 --> 00:14:50,652
- - Happy thanksgiving.
- - Happy thanksgiving
- 199
- 00:14:53,397 --> 00:14:55,878
- You know, this is kind of like TV,
- 200
- 00:14:55,913 --> 00:14:58,359
- except I need a brother and a dog,
- 201
- 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,090
- And Bryan would be the dad-
- 202
- 00:15:00,091 --> 00:15:01,753
- Mr. Bedford.
- 203
- 00:15:01,788 --> 00:15:03,683
- He said to call him Bryan.
- 204
- 00:15:03,684 --> 00:15:05,501
- Only if it's o. k. with your mom.
- 205
- 00:15:06,721 --> 00:15:08,096
- It's fine.
- 206
- 00:15:08,804 --> 00:15:11,356
- Bryan would be the dad, you'd be the mom.
- 207
- 00:15:11,357 --> 00:15:14,815
- We'd need either a fat person
- who's our cook
- 208
- 00:15:14,816 --> 00:15:17,093
- or a neighbor who's
- Always at our house.
- 209
- 00:15:17,128 --> 00:15:21,863
- You know, that's not very interesting.
- Let's talk about something else.
- 210
- 00:15:21,864 --> 00:15:22,981
- For the chef.
- 211
- 00:15:22,982 --> 00:15:25,534
- Oh, in the loosest sense of the word.
- 212
- 00:15:25,535 --> 00:15:27,695
- In every sense of the word.
- 213
- 00:15:28,813 --> 00:15:32,465
- The vegetables are catered.
- So is dessert.
- 214
- 00:15:34,340 --> 00:15:36,063
- Thank you, Susan.
- 215
- 00:15:36,098 --> 00:15:37,786
- You're welcome.
- 216
- 00:15:39,505 --> 00:15:42,625
- Do we give blessings in this house?
- 217
- 00:15:42,660 --> 00:15:45,745
- Not unless my grandparents are here.
- 218
- 00:15:45,746 --> 00:15:48,891
- Would you mind if I did it?
- It's a tradition with me.
- 219
- 00:15:48,892 --> 00:15:49,998
- No. That's fine.
- 220
- 00:15:53,505 --> 00:15:56,049
- We give thanks for thfood before us
- 221
- 00:15:56,084 --> 00:16:00,050
- and the closeness
- Of the people we love,
- 222
- 00:16:00,051 --> 00:16:03,069
- and we pray that these gifts
- We so gratefully receive
- 223
- 00:16:03,070 --> 00:16:07,443
- will be shared with those less
- fortunate than ourselves.
- 224
- 00:16:07,478 --> 00:16:08,343
- Amen.
- 225
- 00:16:09,777 --> 00:16:10,868
- Amen.
- 226
- 00:16:12,152 --> 00:16:14,773
- All right. Let's eat.
- 227
- 00:16:15,232 --> 00:16:17,020
- I slaved all day.
- 228
- 00:16:19,074 --> 00:16:20,345
- You really outdid yourself.
- 229
- 00:18:49,559 --> 00:18:55,022
- One of my elves is married to
- a fellow called Daniel.
- 230
- 00:18:55,023 --> 00:18:56,585
- Do you know what you want for christmas?
- 231
- 00:18:56,620 --> 00:19:02,476
- I want a peter pollywog
- patrol frog that swims and blows up.
- 232
- 00:19:02,477 --> 00:19:04,687
- Gosh, that sounds great
- 233
- 00:19:06,189 --> 00:19:08,526
- Can mother have a word with Santa, please?
- 234
- 00:19:08,527 --> 00:19:12,624
- Yes, of course. Just a minute.
- 235
- 00:19:12,659 --> 00:19:15,587
- Don't make me look bad.
- Them things cost 70 bucks.
- 236
- 00:19:15,588 --> 00:19:17,105
- He just looked at them.
- 237
- 00:19:18,962 --> 00:19:19,790
- I tell you what.
- 238
- 00:19:19,825 --> 00:19:23,132
- Shopper's express have got them
- on sale at 34.Lamberg
- 239
- 00:19:23,133 --> 00:19:27,028
- with a $5.00 rebate.
- Now that's reasonable enough, isn't it?
- 240
- 00:19:27,063 --> 00:19:29,578
- Yeah. Thanks.
- 241
- 00:19:29,579 --> 00:19:30,849
- But let me ask you a question.
- 242
- 00:19:30,884 --> 00:19:33,417
- Since when is cole's sending
- customers someplace else?
- 243
- 00:19:33,418 --> 00:19:37,786
- I don't think it matters where the toys are sold
- as long as it makes the children happy.
- 244
- 00:19:37,787 --> 00:19:41,102
- I'm sure the people here believe the same.
- 245
- 00:19:42,097 --> 00:19:44,312
- Yeah. Yeah, that's the spirit.
- 246
- 00:19:44,313 --> 00:19:46,915
- Thanks, Santa. Thank you.
- 247
- 00:19:46,916 --> 00:19:49,390
- - Merry christmas.
- - Merry christmas.
- 248
- 00:19:49,425 --> 00:19:52,812
- Now then, young man,
- if you're a very good boy
- 249
- 00:19:52,813 --> 00:19:54,665
- And do exactly what your mummy tells you,
- 250
- 00:19:54,700 --> 00:19:59,187
- you're going to have a peter pollywog
- for christmas.
- 251
- 00:19:59,188 --> 00:20:00,890
- Ha ha ha ha ha.
- 252
- 00:20:00,925 --> 00:20:02,591
- Bye, Santa.
- 253
- 00:20:02,592 --> 00:20:06,867
- Bye-bye. Bye-bye, Daniel.
- Merry christmas.
- 254
- 00:20:06,902 --> 00:20:08,758
- Come on, then. Come on.
- 255
- 00:20:15,201 --> 00:20:16,442
- You the boss?
- 256
- 00:20:16,443 --> 00:20:18,423
- I'm general manager of the store.
- 257
- 00:20:18,458 --> 00:20:22,202
- My kid asked Santa for a barf gun.
- The Santa said he'd get it for him.
- 258
- 00:20:22,203 --> 00:20:24,183
- They're by the elevator.
- 259
- 00:20:24,218 --> 00:20:27,648
- And they're 90 bucks
- without batteries or barf.
- 260
- 00:20:27,649 --> 00:20:28,496
- Prices do go up.
- 261
- 00:20:28,531 --> 00:20:30,841
- Apparently not at bargain village.
- 262
- 00:20:30,876 --> 00:20:33,116
- 52.50.
- They throw in the batteries.
- 263
- 00:20:33,151 --> 00:20:36,805
- I find it hard to believe cole's could be
- undersold by that much.
- 264
- 00:20:36,806 --> 00:20:38,754
- Where did you get your information?
- 265
- 00:20:38,789 --> 00:20:40,791
- From your Santa Claus.
- 266
- 00:20:42,478 --> 00:20:47,159
- But if you go out of here,
- turn to the right...
- 267
- 00:20:47,194 --> 00:20:47,843
- Excuse me?
- 268
- 00:20:47,844 --> 00:20:50,147
- Santa's telling everybody
- where to shop.
- 269
- 00:20:50,182 --> 00:20:54,689
- If you don't got it, it's too expensive,
- he's saying where to get it at the right price.
- 270
- 00:20:54,690 --> 00:20:57,330
- - You're serious?
- - Absolutely.
- 271
- 00:20:57,365 --> 00:20:59,106
- Madam, will you excuse me for a moment?
- 272
- 00:20:59,107 --> 00:21:02,085
- Tell Santa he made me a cole's shopper.
- 273
- 00:21:02,086 --> 00:21:04,869
- I'm coming here for everything
- but toilet paper.
- 274
- 00:21:04,870 --> 00:21:09,571
- Any store that puts the parent ahead
- of the buck at christmas deserves my business.
- 275
- 00:21:09,606 --> 00:21:12,820
- Tell Mr. Cole his Santa Claus
- ought to get a raise.
- 276
- 00:21:19,780 --> 00:21:23,002
- You want me to go with you to the chairman
- 277
- 00:21:23,003 --> 00:21:26,949
- and pitch an idea
- That you got from Santa Claus?
- 278
- 00:21:26,984 --> 00:21:30,895
- If cole's doesn't have what you're looking for,
- 279
- 00:21:30,930 --> 00:21:32,377
- we'll find it for you,
- 280
- 00:21:32,378 --> 00:21:35,108
- Even if it means sending you somewhere else.
- 281
- 00:21:35,109 --> 00:21:36,576
- how does that sound?
- 282
- 00:21:36,611 --> 00:21:40,051
- It sounds like a great way
- to go out of business.
- 283
- 00:21:41,271 --> 00:21:44,077
- Know that house in the country
- where we do the catalog shoot?
- 284
- 00:21:44,078 --> 00:21:45,421
- You wanted to buy it.
- 285
- 00:21:45,456 --> 00:21:46,431
- Yes.
- 286
- 00:21:46,432 --> 00:21:49,534
- If this works, we're probably
- looking at a bonus.
- 287
- 00:21:51,784 --> 00:21:53,498
- And if he hates the idea?
- 288
- 00:21:53,533 --> 00:21:54,814
- We're no worse off.
- 289
- 00:21:54,849 --> 00:21:56,452
- If we don't turn this store around,
- 290
- 00:21:56,487 --> 00:21:59,065
- we're all out-
- From the chairman to the janitor.
- 291
- 00:22:03,376 --> 00:22:04,875
- Let's do it.
- 292
- 00:22:16,636 --> 00:22:22,751
- I... like it.
- It's bold. It's fresh.
- 293
- 00:22:22,752 --> 00:22:26,901
- It will drive victor lamberg nuts.
- 294
- 00:22:32,037 --> 00:22:36,714
- It's beginning to look a lot like
- christmas
- 295
- 00:22:36,715 --> 00:22:40,510
- soon the bells will start
- 296
- 00:22:40,545 --> 00:22:44,850
- And the thing that will make them ring
- is the carol that you sing
- 297
- 00:22:44,851 --> 00:22:49,252
- Right within your heart
- 298
- 00:22:49,287 --> 00:22:54,724
- it's beginning to look a lot like christmas
- 299
- 00:22:54,725 --> 00:22:57,275
- Why?
- 300
- 00:22:57,276 --> 00:23:00,717
- Why didn't you think of this?
- 301
- 00:23:00,752 --> 00:23:04,510
- Now if this campaign is successful-
- I know in my gut it will be-
- 302
- 00:23:04,511 --> 00:23:05,976
- Cole's will make lots of money.
- 303
- 00:23:06,011 --> 00:23:10,584
- The more money they make,
- the harder it will be for me to buy them out.
- 304
- 00:23:12,176 --> 00:23:15,136
- Now I want something done about this.
- 305
- 00:23:29,012 --> 00:23:30,266
- O.k., go ahead.
- 306
- 00:23:33,743 --> 00:23:36,230
- This seems like a pretty pointless exercise, Bryan.
- 307
- 00:23:36,265 --> 00:23:42,416
- I thought as long as we were here,
- might as well say hello to the old guy.
- 308
- 00:23:42,417 --> 00:23:43,481
- Why?
- 309
- 00:23:43,482 --> 00:23:47,400
- Let's just say for the sake of argument
- that there is a Santa Claus
- 310
- 00:23:47,930 --> 00:23:50,146
- And that you don't believe in him.
- 311
- 00:23:50,181 --> 00:23:54,613
- Is it worth the risk that you might not
- get anything for christmas?
- 312
- 00:23:54,648 --> 00:23:56,214
- Well, I didn't believe in him last year.
- 313
- 00:23:56,215 --> 00:23:59,793
- I still got everything i asked my mother for.
- 314
- 00:23:59,794 --> 00:24:04,133
- Yeah. You get a free candy cane?
- 315
- 00:24:04,874 --> 00:24:07,924
- I'm trying to limit my intake of sugar.
- 316
- 00:24:09,660 --> 00:24:11,160
- She can go see Santa now.
- 317
- 00:24:11,328 --> 00:24:13,929
- O.k., come on. Go ahead.
- 318
- 00:24:17,151 --> 00:24:18,240
- Nice to meet you.
- 319
- 00:24:24,331 --> 00:24:25,801
- Hello, sir.
- 320
- 00:24:25,802 --> 00:24:27,822
- Oh, how do you do?
- 321
- 00:24:27,857 --> 00:24:30,106
- Would you like to come sit on my knee?
- 322
- 00:24:30,141 --> 00:24:32,523
- Good. Up you come.
- 323
- 00:24:32,558 --> 00:24:33,818
- Now then, what's your name?
- 324
- 00:24:33,853 --> 00:24:36,953
- Susan elizabeth walker. What's yours?
- 325
- 00:24:36,954 --> 00:24:39,093
- Mine?
- Ha ha ha ha.
- 326
- 00:24:39,128 --> 00:24:41,483
- Well, I have lots of names.
- 327
- 00:24:41,484 --> 00:24:43,043
- Uh, Kriss kringle,
- 328
- 00:24:43,044 --> 00:24:45,788
- Santa Claus, father christmas,
- saint nicholas.
- 329
- 00:24:45,823 --> 00:24:51,503
- If you were in holland, I'd be sinterklaas,
- or in italy, le befana.
- 330
- 00:24:51,538 --> 00:24:56,913
- I have to speak many languages
- because, of course, I travel a great deal.
- 331
- 00:25:00,549 --> 00:25:01,908
- That's russian.
- 332
- 00:25:06,506 --> 00:25:07,846
- That's swahili.
- 333
- 00:25:07,847 --> 00:25:09,600
- My mother's Mrs. Walker.
- 334
- 00:25:09,635 --> 00:25:11,884
- She's director of special events for cole's.
- 335
- 00:25:11,885 --> 00:25:12,874
- Uh-huh.
- 336
- 00:25:12,909 --> 00:25:17,547
- She runs the parade.
- I know how this all works.
- 337
- 00:25:17,548 --> 00:25:19,762
- You're an employee of cole's.
- 338
- 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,265
- That is true.
- 339
- 00:25:23,266 --> 00:25:25,688
- But you're a very good Santa Claus.
- 340
- 00:25:25,723 --> 00:25:28,112
- Your beard's stuck on real tight.
- 341
- 00:25:28,113 --> 00:25:32,094
- Usually the store Santa Claus
- whiskers are too loose.
- 342
- 00:25:32,129 --> 00:25:33,546
- Yours look realistic.
- 343
- 00:25:33,547 --> 00:25:36,778
- That's because they are real.
- You give them a tug.
- 344
- 00:25:36,813 --> 00:25:38,668
- Whoo! Ha ha ha.
- 345
- 00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:40,524
- Are you convinced?
- 346
- 00:25:40,559 --> 00:25:41,698
- Mm-hmm.
- 347
- 00:25:41,733 --> 00:25:42,838
- Good.
- 348
- 00:25:42,839 --> 00:25:45,296
- This isn't the regular Santa suit, is it?
- 349
- 00:25:45,297 --> 00:25:48,805
- Oh, no. This is the real Santa suit.
- 350
- 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:49,899
- It's very nice.
- 351
- 00:25:49,900 --> 00:25:51,725
- I agree. Lovely.
- 352
- 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:56,399
- Gold buttons, gold thread.
- It's as real as me.
- 353
- 00:25:59,130 --> 00:26:00,955
- Well, you ask your daddy if I'm real.
- 354
- 00:26:00,956 --> 00:26:03,504
- I don't know where he is.
- 355
- 00:26:03,539 --> 00:26:04,423
- Well, he's-
- 356
- 00:26:04,424 --> 00:26:07,542
- That's my friend Mr. Bedford.
- 357
- 00:26:07,577 --> 00:26:10,660
- I don't have a dad anymore.
- 358
- 00:26:18,101 --> 00:26:21,730
- Ha. Well, now,
- what can I get you for christmas?
- 359
- 00:26:21,731 --> 00:26:23,287
- Nothing, thank you.
- 360
- 00:26:23,322 --> 00:26:25,035
- Nothing?
- 361
- 00:26:25,036 --> 00:26:26,934
- My mother buys my gifts
- 362
- 00:26:26,935 --> 00:26:31,778
- if I don't want something too stupid
- or dangerous or...
- 363
- 00:26:31,813 --> 00:26:33,314
- Hi, mom.
- 364
- 00:26:45,211 --> 00:26:47,066
- Hi. It's nice to see you.
- 365
- 00:26:47,725 --> 00:26:50,312
- Susan,
- you've taken enough of this man's time.
- 366
- 00:26:50,347 --> 00:26:53,827
- There's a long line of customers,
- and they do come first.
- 367
- 00:26:56,984 --> 00:26:59,293
- Nice to meet you, Susan.
- 368
- 00:26:59,328 --> 00:27:01,603
- Nice to meet you, too.
- 369
- 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,112
- Bye-bye.
- 370
- 00:27:11,095 --> 00:27:12,647
- Nonbelievers.
- 371
- 00:27:13,744 --> 00:27:14,587
- Right.
- 372
- 00:27:19,806 --> 00:27:23,707
- If I felt that it was important for her
- to see Santa Claus,
- 373
- 00:27:23,742 --> 00:27:25,937
- I would be happy to take her.
- 374
- 00:27:25,938 --> 00:27:29,185
- I didn'tsee any harm in her saying hello
- to an interesting old man.
- 375
- 00:27:29,186 --> 00:27:34,628
- Well, there is harm.
- I tell her that there is no Santa Claus,
- 376
- 00:27:34,629 --> 00:27:39,823
- so you bring her down here,
- And she sees thousands of gullible kids,
- 377
- 00:27:39,858 --> 00:27:43,114
- and she meets an actor a very good actor,
- mind you?
- 378
- 00:27:43,115 --> 00:27:46,063
- with a real beard and a beautiful Santa suit,
- 379
- 00:27:46,098 --> 00:27:51,166
- Sitting smack dab in the center
- of a child's fantasy world.
- 380
- 00:27:51,167 --> 00:27:59,144
- So, who does she believe, the myth or...
- the mom?
- 381
- 00:28:05,768 --> 00:28:08,874
- Listen, I just got some mistletoe.
- 382
- 00:28:08,909 --> 00:28:12,494
- Why don't we go back to my place
- and try it out?
- 383
- 00:28:12,495 --> 00:28:14,368
- No.
- 384
- 00:28:14,369 --> 00:28:16,042
- I don't think so.
- 385
- 00:28:19,466 --> 00:28:26,005
- O.k. I'm here. I can help.
- All you have to do is ask.
- 386
- 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,452
- Well, actually, there is one thing.
- 387
- 00:28:30,507 --> 00:28:33,320
- Would you mind taking Susan home?
- 388
- 00:28:37,011 --> 00:28:38,172
- Sure.
- 389
- 00:29:18,215 --> 00:29:21,716
- I'm working at cole's.
- 390
- 00:29:21,717 --> 00:29:24,694
- All I have to do is to be myself.
- 391
- 00:29:27,425 --> 00:29:31,142
- There you are. Ha ha.
- That's it.
- 392
- 00:29:31,143 --> 00:29:33,956
- Very good. Very good.
- 393
- 00:29:33,991 --> 00:29:35,118
- Excuse me.
- 394
- 00:29:35,119 --> 00:29:36,582
- Oh.
- 395
- 00:29:36,617 --> 00:29:39,131
- Good evening.
- 396
- 00:29:39,132 --> 00:29:40,621
- My name is jack duff.
- 397
- 00:29:40,622 --> 00:29:41,419
- How do you do?
- 398
- 00:29:41,454 --> 00:29:43,531
- And this is alberta leonard.
- 399
- 00:29:43,566 --> 00:29:44,550
- How do you do?
- 400
- 00:29:44,551 --> 00:29:45,697
- Pleasure.
- 401
- 00:29:45,698 --> 00:29:49,792
- Nice to meet you both. I'm Kriss kringle.
- 402
- 00:29:49,827 --> 00:29:51,762
- Well, Mr. Kringle,
- 403
- 00:29:51,797 --> 00:29:54,414
- we're with shopper's express,
- the department store.
- 404
- 00:29:54,415 --> 00:29:57,675
- Yes. You've got the peter pollywog on sale.
- 405
- 00:29:57,710 --> 00:29:59,394
- Right.
- 406
- 00:29:59,395 --> 00:30:01,804
- Yes, we do.
- 407
- 00:30:01,839 --> 00:30:04,615
- We want you to be our main Santa Claus.
- 408
- 00:30:04,650 --> 00:30:07,391
- We have over 7,000 stores worldwide,
- 409
- 00:30:07,392 --> 00:30:09,816
- but you would be the number one guy.
- 410
- 00:30:10,989 --> 00:30:12,890
- Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you,
- 411
- 00:30:12,891 --> 00:30:15,282
- but the people at cole's have already hired me.
- 412
- 00:30:15,283 --> 00:30:17,580
- In fact, I've signed a contract.
- 413
- 00:30:19,295 --> 00:30:22,184
- If you'll excuse me, it's getting a bit late.
- 414
- 00:30:22,185 --> 00:30:23,423
- Give you a ride?
- 415
- 00:30:23,458 --> 00:30:26,756
- I can walk. It's probably out of your way.
- 416
- 00:30:26,791 --> 00:30:27,880
- Where are you going?
- 417
- 00:30:27,915 --> 00:30:33,717
- 4th street, the mount carmel senior center.
- 418
- 00:30:33,718 --> 00:30:35,432
- We're going right by it.
- 419
- 00:30:35,467 --> 00:30:37,039
- It's on our way.
- 420
- 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,353
- Thank you so much.
- 421
- 00:30:39,354 --> 00:30:42,241
- Um, bye-bye, prancer.
- 422
- 00:30:42,276 --> 00:30:43,796
- Bye-bye, dancer.
- 423
- 00:30:51,058 --> 00:30:53,022
- So tell me, Santa.
- 424
- 00:30:53,023 --> 00:30:57,532
- How does one guy get to every house
- around the world in one night?
- 425
- 00:30:57,567 --> 00:31:02,161
- Ah, yes. Well, now
- that is a vexing question, isn't it?
- 426
- 00:31:02,162 --> 00:31:07,202
- You see, if you could slow time down
- so that a second became a year,
- 427
- 00:31:07,237 --> 00:31:11,505
- A minute became a century,
- and an hour became a millennium,
- 428
- 00:31:11,540 --> 00:31:14,845
- Well, you could manage it quite easily,
- couldn't you?
- 429
- 00:31:14,846 --> 00:31:17,831
- I remember before-Well,
- 100 years ago,
- 430
- 00:31:17,866 --> 00:31:19,962
- before the population explosion,
- 431
- 00:31:19,963 --> 00:31:21,823
- I could manage
- To deliver all my goods
- 432
- 00:31:21,858 --> 00:31:25,763
- and have enough time left over for a
- late supper, A nap,
- 433
- 00:31:25,764 --> 00:31:29,023
- and a round of golf
- with the easter bunny.
- 434
- 00:31:29,024 --> 00:31:32,270
- He winters in new zealand, you know.
- 435
- 00:31:37,057 --> 00:31:39,146
- Thank you so much.
- 436
- 00:31:39,181 --> 00:31:41,484
- Thank you both very much indeed.
- 437
- 00:31:41,519 --> 00:31:45,633
- Merry christmas to you, miss leonard.
- 438
- 00:31:45,634 --> 00:31:48,156
- Merry, merry christmas to you, Mr. Duff.
- 439
- 00:31:48,191 --> 00:31:48,980
- Same to you, Santa.
- 440
- 00:31:49,015 --> 00:31:51,835
- Thank you very much.
- Good night.
- 441
- 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,577
- He's completely out of his mind.
- 442
- 00:32:01,578 --> 00:32:06,259
- Imagine-cole's hiring a guy
- as nutty as that.
- 443
- 00:32:06,294 --> 00:32:08,210
- Could become a problem for them.
- 444
- 00:32:09,448 --> 00:32:11,511
- I know what you mean.
- 445
- 00:32:13,050 --> 00:32:14,391
- The easter bunny.
- 446
- 00:32:23,613 --> 00:32:24,918
- Nice to meet you.
- 447
- 00:32:25,765 --> 00:32:26,876
- Bye-bye now.
- 448
- 00:32:28,328 --> 00:32:30,274
- You don't think he's nuts, do you?
- 449
- 00:32:30,275 --> 00:32:30,951
- Hmm?
- 450
- 00:32:30,986 --> 00:32:34,998
- Well, he believes he's Santa Claus,
- absolutely believes it.
- 451
- 00:32:35,033 --> 00:32:36,769
- Maybe that's why he's good at it.
- 452
- 00:32:36,804 --> 00:32:38,504
- What difference does it make?
- 453
- 00:32:38,505 --> 00:32:40,634
- Look at our stocks.
- They're through the roof.
- 454
- 00:32:40,669 --> 00:32:43,095
- Sales are up 70% over last holiday.
- 455
- 00:32:43,096 --> 00:32:45,291
- In a week,
- this company has turned around.
- 456
- 00:32:45,326 --> 00:32:49,952
- We could go the other way just
- as fast if this guy does anything wrong.
- 457
- 00:32:49,953 --> 00:32:50,816
- What's he going to do?
- 458
- 00:32:50,851 --> 00:32:52,614
- We don't know.
- 459
- 00:32:52,649 --> 00:32:56,685
- If the fate of the company rests
- on one very unstable old man,
- 460
- 00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,457
- You're celebrating our return
- just a little too soon.
- 461
- 00:33:00,458 --> 00:33:02,075
- I'm not worried.
- 462
- 00:33:09,759 --> 00:33:13,145
- Hello, little one. How are you? Come.
- 463
- 00:33:13,180 --> 00:33:15,813
- Uh, she's deaf.
- 464
- 00:33:15,814 --> 00:33:19,712
- You don't have to talk to her.
- She just wanted to see you.
- 465
- 00:33:19,747 --> 00:33:21,154
- Thank you.
- 466
- 00:33:33,397 --> 00:33:41,802
- You are a very... Beautiful young lady.
- 467
- 00:33:41,837 --> 00:33:43,664
- Ha ha ha ha.
- 468
- 00:33:43,699 --> 00:33:47,227
- What's your name?
- 469
- 00:33:50,456 --> 00:33:51,726
- Sami?
- 470
- 00:33:52,324 --> 00:33:55,411
- That's a beautiful name.
- 471
- 00:33:56,470 --> 00:33:58,588
- Ha ha ha ha.
- 472
- 00:33:58,589 --> 00:34:04,444
- Now I tell you what.
- Do you know Jingle bells?
- 473
- 00:34:05,231 --> 00:34:06,765
- Yes.
- 474
- 00:34:06,766 --> 00:34:11,037
- jingle bells, jingle bells jingle all the way
- 475
- 00:34:11,072 --> 00:34:16,858
- oh, what fun it is to ride
- on a one-horse open sleigh
- 476
- 00:34:16,859 --> 00:34:19,284
- Ha ha. Oh, very good.
- 477
- 00:34:27,119 --> 00:34:31,958
- Darling,
- what would you like for christmas?
- 478
- 00:34:31,959 --> 00:34:34,441
- A doll and a bear?
- 479
- 00:34:34,476 --> 00:34:36,632
- Well, you shall have them.
- 480
- 00:34:36,667 --> 00:34:42,111
- Sami, I wish you a merry... Christmas.
- 481
- 00:34:43,884 --> 00:34:47,127
-
- 482
- 00:34:47,162 --> 00:34:49,059
- Thank you. Thank you.
- 483
- 00:34:50,559 --> 00:34:54,555
- Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
- 484
- 00:35:19,977 --> 00:35:24,028
- Something's driving me crazy,
- and I can't sleep.
- 485
- 00:35:24,029 --> 00:35:25,735
- What's on your mind?
- 486
- 00:35:25,736 --> 00:35:27,736
- Santa Claus.
- 487
- 00:35:27,737 --> 00:35:30,536
- Mr. Kringle? Why, what about him?
- 488
- 00:35:30,571 --> 00:35:34,259
- He talked sign language with a kid today.
- 489
- 00:35:34,294 --> 00:35:38,265
- Well, that was considerate of him.
- 490
- 00:35:38,300 --> 00:35:41,894
- It's weird how he knows
- so much about toys and kids.
- 491
- 00:35:41,929 --> 00:35:44,432
- He speaks russian and swahili.
- 492
- 00:35:46,168 --> 00:35:50,230
- Well, he must be quite a learned man.
- 493
- 00:35:50,231 --> 00:35:56,300
- He looks exactly like every
- picture of Santa Claus I ever saw.
- 494
- 00:35:56,335 --> 00:36:00,076
- Yes, I know. That's why I chose him.
- 495
- 00:36:00,077 --> 00:36:05,222
- You're positive he's not
- the real Santa Claus?
- 496
- 00:36:05,223 --> 00:36:09,258
- I thought that we talked about this.
- 497
- 00:36:09,293 --> 00:36:11,493
- You understand what he is.
- 498
- 00:36:11,528 --> 00:36:13,078
- What if we're wrong?
- 499
- 00:36:13,079 --> 00:36:16,714
- That would be extremely rude.
- 500
- 00:36:16,715 --> 00:36:19,887
- Well, we're not ong sweetheart.
- 501
- 00:36:19,888 --> 00:36:22,919
- But all my friends believe in Santa Claus.
- 502
- 00:36:22,954 --> 00:36:25,258
- Well, most children your age do.
- 503
- 00:36:26,764 --> 00:36:30,027
- How come I don't?
- 504
- 00:36:30,062 --> 00:36:32,120
- Because you know the truth,
- 505
- 00:36:32,155 --> 00:36:36,659
- and truth is one of the most important
- things in the world.
- 506
- 00:36:36,660 --> 00:36:39,916
- To know the truth and to always
- be truthful with others
- 507
- 00:36:39,952 --> 00:36:44,474
- and, more importantly, with yourself.
- 508
- 00:36:44,475 --> 00:36:50,857
- Believing in myths and fantasies
- just makes you unhappy.
- 509
- 00:36:50,892 --> 00:36:57,240
- Did you believe in Santa Claus
- when you were my age?
- 510
- 00:36:57,241 --> 00:36:58,703
- Yes.
- 511
- 00:36:58,738 --> 00:37:02,444
- Were you unhappy?
- 512
- 00:37:02,445 --> 00:37:07,776
- Well, when all the things that I believed
- in turned out not to be true,
- 513
- 00:37:07,811 --> 00:37:10,556
- yes, I was unhappy.
- 514
- 00:37:13,866 --> 00:37:16,915
- Would it be o. k. If I thought about this more?
- 515
- 00:37:16,916 --> 00:37:20,251
- Do I have to not believe in Santa Claus
- right away?
- 516
- 00:37:22,930 --> 00:37:24,073
- Come here.
- 517
- 00:37:27,711 --> 00:37:33,415
- You have the right to believe
- whatever you want to believe.
- 518
- 00:37:33,416 --> 00:37:39,490
- Now, I've told you the truth,
- but if I'm wrong, I will be glad to admit it.
- 519
- 00:37:39,491 --> 00:37:43,121
- I'll tell you what. You ask Mr. Kringle
- 520
- 00:37:43,156 --> 00:37:46,460
- for something that
- you would never ask me for,
- 521
- 00:37:46,495 --> 00:37:49,729
- And if on christmas morning
- you don't get it,
- 522
- 00:37:49,764 --> 00:37:55,183
- you will know Once and for all
- the honest truth about Santa Claus.
- 523
- 00:37:55,184 --> 00:37:57,218
- That's a very clever idea.
- 524
- 00:37:58,036 --> 00:38:00,755
- Thank you.
- Think you can get some sleep?
- 525
- 00:38:00,790 --> 00:38:02,841
- - Yep.
- - Yeah? Give me a kiss.
- 526
- 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,382
- Good night.
- I love you.
- 527
- 00:38:08,417 --> 00:38:09,941
- I love you.
- 528
- 00:38:09,942 --> 00:38:11,766
- - Good night.
- - Good night.
- 529
- 00:38:28,925 --> 00:38:38,011
- christmas christmas
- 530
- 00:38:38,046 --> 00:38:42,645
- well, it's christmas time, pretty baby
- 531
- 00:38:42,646 --> 00:38:45,041
- and the snow is
- Fallin' on the ground
- 532
- 00:38:45,076 --> 00:38:49,335
- christmas christmas
- 533
- 00:38:49,370 --> 00:38:52,942
- well, it's christmas time, pretty baby...
- 534
- 00:38:52,977 --> 00:38:55,280
- Barkeep! Reload on this.
- 535
- 00:38:55,817 --> 00:38:58,178
- Hey. Hey!
- 536
- 00:38:58,213 --> 00:39:00,213
- Can I get another beer?
- 537
- 00:39:00,214 --> 00:39:03,581
- Boy, that cole's, they dealt me the high, hard one.
- 538
- 00:39:03,582 --> 00:39:05,259
- I did a good job for them last year.
- 539
- 00:39:05,294 --> 00:39:08,750
- This year they give me the-the royal fist.
- 540
- 00:39:08,751 --> 00:39:13,351
- They didn't have grounds
- on which to dismiss you.
- 541
- 00:39:13,387 --> 00:39:15,641
- That broad that runs the parade every year-
- 542
- 00:39:15,676 --> 00:39:17,897
- One of these college kids
- with a 3 ounce brain
- 543
- 00:39:17,932 --> 00:39:19,632
- and 50 tons of attitude-
- 544
- 00:39:21,495 --> 00:39:25,362
- She hires some wacko right off the street
- to take my place.
- 545
- 00:39:25,397 --> 00:39:28,123
- Some wacko?
- Tell me about him.
- 546
- 00:39:28,158 --> 00:39:30,094
- He's a loon.
- 547
- 00:39:30,129 --> 00:39:31,962
- We got thousands in this city.
- 548
- 00:39:31,997 --> 00:39:33,471
- I'll say.
- 549
- 00:39:33,472 --> 00:39:35,408
- Never had one of them
- take my job, though.
- 550
- 00:39:36,772 --> 00:39:40,671
- Tony, did you have any contact
- with this old guy?
- 551
- 00:39:40,672 --> 00:39:44,306
- The guy come up on the float, right in my face.
- 552
- 00:39:44,307 --> 00:39:45,773
- He got aggressive with you.
- 553
- 00:39:45,808 --> 00:39:50,027
- He tried to whack me over
- the head with his cane.
- 554
- 00:39:50,028 --> 00:39:52,082
- He tried to whack you with a cane?
- 555
- 00:39:52,117 --> 00:39:53,414
- Isn't that what I just said?
- 556
- 00:39:55,059 --> 00:39:58,341
- Tony, this'll make you feel better.
- 557
- 00:40:05,803 --> 00:40:07,856
- Got a little job I want you to do for me.
- 558
- 00:40:12,926 --> 00:40:17,367
- What, uh, what kind of job
- you have in mind?
- 559
- 00:40:17,402 --> 00:40:18,382
- You'll see.
- 560
- 00:40:29,233 --> 00:40:31,964
- Just be yourself.
- 561
- 00:40:31,965 --> 00:40:35,636
- Don't even think about the camera.
- You'll be just fine.
- 562
- 00:40:35,637 --> 00:40:37,330
- Right.
- 563
- 00:40:37,365 --> 00:40:40,715
- I must confess, I don't know
- why they're making such a fuss about me.
- 564
- 00:40:40,716 --> 00:40:44,294
- This is the holiday season,
- and you're Santa Claus, right?
- 565
- 00:40:44,329 --> 00:40:47,872
- To many, but to others I'm an old man
- with a white beard.
- 566
- 00:40:47,873 --> 00:40:50,666
- But you're still the symbol of the season.
- 567
- 00:40:52,561 --> 00:40:55,014
- You think I'm a fraud, don't you?
- 568
- 00:40:55,049 --> 00:40:57,467
- Fraud is a bit too strong a word.
- 569
- 00:40:57,502 --> 00:41:00,070
- But you don't believe in me.
- 570
- 00:41:00,071 --> 00:41:03,600
- I believe that christmas is for children.
- 571
- 00:41:03,601 --> 00:41:06,276
- Your daughter doesn't believe in me, either.
- 572
- 00:41:06,311 --> 00:41:10,311
- I don't think that there's any harm in
- not believing in a figure
- 573
- 00:41:10,346 --> 00:41:13,747
- that many do acknowledge
- to be a fiction.
- 574
- 00:41:13,748 --> 00:41:18,372
- Oh, but there is.
- I'm not just a whimsical figure
- 575
- 00:41:18,373 --> 00:41:21,437
- who wears a charming suit
- 576
- 00:41:21,472 --> 00:41:24,502
- And affects a jolly demeanor.
- 577
- 00:41:24,503 --> 00:41:29,188
- You know, I.. I... I'm a symbol.
- 578
- 00:41:29,223 --> 00:41:33,074
- I'm a symbol Of the human ability
- to be able to suppress
- 579
- 00:41:33,075 --> 00:41:42,152
- the selfish And hateful tendencies
- that rule the major part of our lives.
- 580
- 00:41:42,187 --> 00:41:47,344
- If... you can't believe, if you can't accept
- 581
- 00:41:47,345 --> 00:41:51,567
- anything on faith,
- 582
- 00:41:51,602 --> 00:41:55,263
- Then you're doomed for
- a life dominated by doubt.
- 583
- 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,905
- I like you very much, Mrs...
- 584
- 00:42:05,906 --> 00:42:09,099
- Mrs. Walker, you're a fine woman.
- And, you know,
- 585
- 00:42:09,100 --> 00:42:15,170
- I think you'll make an excellent test case
- for me, you and your daughter.
- 586
- 00:42:15,205 --> 00:42:18,085
- If I could make you believe,
- 587
- 00:42:18,086 --> 00:42:22,263
- then there'd be some hope for me.
- 588
- 00:42:22,298 --> 00:42:26,441
- If I can't... Well, I'm finished.
- 589
- 00:42:36,249 --> 00:42:37,395
- Shall we go?
- 590
- 00:42:41,930 --> 00:42:46,969
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- 591
- 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:52,425
- I'm Kriss kringle, and I'm at cole's
- department store in new york city.
- 592
- 00:42:52,426 --> 00:42:54,264
- Good morning, america.
- 593
- 00:43:03,658 --> 00:43:07,827
- No. Mr. Kringle's time is extremely limited.
- 594
- 00:43:07,862 --> 00:43:11,130
- Sorry. Mr. Bedford's on line three.
- 595
- 00:43:11,131 --> 00:43:13,457
- No. He can't do private sessions.
- 596
- 00:43:13,492 --> 00:43:17,411
- Can you hold for just a moment? Hang on.
- 597
- 00:43:18,151 --> 00:43:21,981
- Hi. Bryan, I have the mayor's office on hold.
- What's up?
- 598
- 00:43:21,982 --> 00:43:27,260
- If I can arrange a really, really good
- Babysitter for tonight,
- 599
- 00:43:27,295 --> 00:43:29,112
- you want to do some shopping
- and have dinner?
- 600
- 00:43:29,113 --> 00:43:32,016
- Well, I'm not sure when I...
- 601
- 00:43:32,017 --> 00:43:34,466
- I don't know if I can get celia tonight.
- 602
- 00:43:34,501 --> 00:43:36,915
- I'll take care of it. See you at 7:00?
- 603
- 00:43:36,916 --> 00:43:40,405
- Well, I-I-I'm not sure what-o. k.
- 604
- 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,167
- Fine. 7:00. Bye.
- 605
- 00:43:48,144 --> 00:43:50,521
- Whoa! Who is this one?
- 606
- 00:43:50,522 --> 00:43:51,544
- This is dancer.
- 607
- 00:43:51,579 --> 00:43:55,813
- He's a bit slow, do you see?
- 608
- 00:43:55,848 --> 00:43:57,954
- Poor old dancer.
- 609
- 00:43:59,811 --> 00:44:03,593
- Oh. Good evening, Mrs. Walker.
- 610
- 00:44:03,594 --> 00:44:06,884
- Good evening... Mr. Kringle.
- 611
- 00:44:06,919 --> 00:44:10,235
- Nobody at school is going to believe
- this one, huh?
- 612
- 00:44:10,270 --> 00:44:14,341
- Well, if you have to have a babysitter,
- who's better qualified?
- 613
- 00:44:16,365 --> 00:44:17,616
- Yes.
- 614
- 00:46:06,429 --> 00:46:08,056
- Pretty, isn't it?
- 615
- 00:46:08,091 --> 00:46:11,151
- There really has to be something
- you want for christmas.
- 616
- 00:46:15,287 --> 00:46:17,927
- I'm very good at
- keeping secrets, you know.
- 617
- 00:46:18,897 --> 00:46:20,556
- Come on. Tell me.
- 618
- 00:46:50,635 --> 00:46:53,350
- What's this?
- 619
- 00:47:07,293 --> 00:47:08,813
- Gosh.
- 620
- 00:47:13,321 --> 00:47:16,000
- That's what I want for christmas-
- 621
- 00:47:16,001 --> 00:47:20,351
- a house, a brother, and a dad.
- 622
- 00:47:20,386 --> 00:47:22,333
- That's all I ever want.
- 623
- 00:47:26,345 --> 00:47:30,408
- If you're really Santa Claus,
- you can get it for me.
- 624
- 00:47:30,409 --> 00:47:35,919
- If you can't, you're just a nice man
- with a white beard like my mother says.
- 625
- 00:47:35,954 --> 00:47:38,112
- Oh, Susan.
- 626
- 00:47:38,113 --> 00:47:41,097
- Just because every child doesn't get his
- or her wish doesn't mean
- 627
- 00:47:41,132 --> 00:47:43,185
- There's not a Santa Claus.
- 628
- 00:47:43,186 --> 00:47:45,147
- I thought you might say that.
- 629
- 00:47:46,297 --> 00:47:50,488
- Did you?
- Yes. Well...
- 630
- 00:47:50,523 --> 00:47:52,224
- A house is a very big order-
- 631
- 00:47:52,225 --> 00:47:54,760
- And very expensive.
- 632
- 00:47:54,795 --> 00:48:00,320
- And a baby, well a baby takes
- almost a year to, uh, to, uh...
- 633
- 00:48:00,321 --> 00:48:03,864
- nine months. More if the lady's late.
- 634
- 00:48:03,899 --> 00:48:05,907
- Less if the baby's a preemie.
- 635
- 00:48:07,378 --> 00:48:11,457
- Right. And a father. I mean, uh...
- 636
- 00:48:11,492 --> 00:48:15,536
- No one can give anybody a father.
- 637
- 00:48:15,537 --> 00:48:20,042
- If Santa Claus really can make reindeer
- fly and go up and down people's chimneys
- 638
- 00:48:20,077 --> 00:48:25,272
- and make millions of toys
- and go around the world in one night,
- 639
- 00:48:25,307 --> 00:48:27,452
- he could get somebody a house
- 640
- 00:48:27,453 --> 00:48:32,151
- and a brother... and a dad. Right?
- 641
- 00:48:34,121 --> 00:48:38,851
- Right. Right. Yes. I suppose he...
- he could.
- 642
- 00:48:41,531 --> 00:48:46,493
- I don't think I'll ever get those things,
- so it's no big deal.
- 643
- 00:48:46,528 --> 00:48:54,019
- Oh. Well, um, perhaps
- I could keep this paper. Could I?
- 644
- 00:48:54,054 --> 00:48:55,075
- Sure.
- 645
- 00:48:55,076 --> 00:48:58,389
- Well, good night, little angel.
- 646
- 00:48:58,424 --> 00:48:59,551
- Good night.
- 647
- 00:49:05,265 --> 00:49:07,012
- Good night, Susan.
- 648
- 00:49:07,013 --> 00:49:08,872
- Good night, Mr. Kringle.
- 649
- 00:49:13,878 --> 00:49:17,469
- A family for christmas.
- I don't think so.
- 650
- 00:49:22,647 --> 00:49:25,330
- No, really. I mean...
- 651
- 00:49:25,331 --> 00:49:27,321
- see, that wasn't so bad, huh?
- 652
- 00:49:27,356 --> 00:49:28,557
- I had a great time.
- 653
- 00:49:28,592 --> 00:49:32,317
- You need to get out.
- You need to forget work...
- 654
- 00:49:32,318 --> 00:49:35,453
- - I should've listened to you earlier.
- - Come out with me.
- 655
- 00:49:35,488 --> 00:49:37,649
- You understand why I didn't.
- 656
- 00:49:37,684 --> 00:49:41,301
- Sometimes I think I do.
- Sometimes I think I don't.
- 657
- 00:49:41,302 --> 00:49:45,089
- Well, you are a very patient man.
- 658
- 00:49:45,124 --> 00:49:48,243
- Most guys are gone
- after a few months of me.
- 659
- 00:49:48,244 --> 00:49:50,449
- So you admit that you're rough on men.
- 660
- 00:49:50,484 --> 00:49:52,463
- No, not just rough on men.
- 661
- 00:49:54,413 --> 00:49:57,854
- Yeah. I admit it. I'm careful.
- 662
- 00:49:57,855 --> 00:50:01,750
- At this point in my life, I really don't need
- to be disappointed.
- 663
- 00:50:07,632 --> 00:50:09,756
- Do you want one of your
- christmas presents early?
- 664
- 00:50:09,791 --> 00:50:14,081
- I got you a christmas present,
- and I want to give it to you.
- 665
- 00:50:14,082 --> 00:50:15,104
- What is it?
- 666
- 00:50:15,139 --> 00:50:19,670
- Do you want it early?
- 667
- 00:50:19,671 --> 00:50:20,926
- Yes.
- 668
- 00:50:30,963 --> 00:50:33,091
- What is it?
- 669
- 00:50:33,938 --> 00:50:35,397
- Open it.
- 670
- 00:50:54,188 --> 00:50:56,062
- It's an engagement ring.
- 671
- 00:51:00,950 --> 00:51:08,790
- If I've given you a...
- false impression of this relationship,
- 672
- 00:51:08,825 --> 00:51:11,124
- I'm very sorry.
- 673
- 00:51:14,532 --> 00:51:16,191
- Are you serious?
- 674
- 00:51:18,345 --> 00:51:24,090
- Have I ever given you any sign
- that I wanted to marry you?
- 675
- 00:51:26,592 --> 00:51:27,440
- No.
- 676
- 00:51:27,475 --> 00:51:33,591
- Then, tell me, whatever possessed you
- to make a presumption?
- 677
- 00:51:33,592 --> 00:51:37,239
- You know, I've done everything
- I could to try to make you happy.
- 678
- 00:51:37,274 --> 00:51:39,654
- I love your daughter
- like she's my own.
- 679
- 00:51:39,655 --> 00:51:42,903
- I loved you, getting nothing in return.
- 680
- 00:51:42,938 --> 00:51:46,152
- Never asking for anything in return.
- 681
- 00:51:48,902 --> 00:51:50,778
- I put my faith in you.
- 682
- 00:51:53,886 --> 00:51:59,740
- Well, if that's true,
- then you're a fool.
- 683
- 00:52:42,508 --> 00:52:44,428
- - Taxi, please
- - Certainly.
- 684
- 00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:57,963
- Mr. Bedford.
- 685
- 00:52:57,964 --> 00:52:59,822
- Kriss.
- 686
- 00:52:59,857 --> 00:53:01,067
- How was your night as a babysitter?
- 687
- 00:53:01,068 --> 00:53:03,714
- Oh. Very pleasant.
- 688
- 00:53:03,749 --> 00:53:06,327
- Susan's a good kid.
- 689
- 00:53:06,362 --> 00:53:12,585
- Yes. Delightful. Delightful.
- 690
- 00:53:12,586 --> 00:53:13,846
- Well, how was it?
- 691
- 00:53:15,917 --> 00:53:18,083
- I gave her an engagement ring.
- 692
- 00:53:18,118 --> 00:53:21,366
- Ohh. Ooh!
- 693
- 00:53:23,426 --> 00:53:25,302
- She didn't like it very much.
- 694
- 00:53:25,337 --> 00:53:29,102
- Well, perhaps your timing
- wasn't particularly good.
- 695
- 00:53:29,103 --> 00:53:32,056
- Oh. Not at all.
- 696
- 00:53:32,091 --> 00:53:37,050
- She... she's a sad sort of person, isn't she?
- 697
- 00:53:37,085 --> 00:53:40,734
- It's a pity, really.
- She's very kind...
- 698
- 00:53:40,735 --> 00:53:46,170
- but she's terribly careful about her emotions.
- 699
- 00:53:46,205 --> 00:53:51,457
- What I know about Dorey is pieced together
- from fragments of a dozen conversations.
- 700
- 00:53:51,492 --> 00:53:53,260
- She was married in college,
- 701
- 00:53:53,261 --> 00:53:55,403
- he had a drinking problem,
- 702
- 00:53:55,438 --> 00:54:00,479
- And right after Susan was born
- he took off and hasn't been heard of since.
- 703
- 00:54:00,514 --> 00:54:05,250
- She's filled with these, these bitter thoughts.
- 704
- 00:54:05,251 --> 00:54:08,247
- The worst part is she's dragging
- Susan into this with her.
- 705
- 00:54:08,248 --> 00:54:12,399
- Ah, yes. Well, Susan is struggling with it.
- 706
- 00:54:12,434 --> 00:54:15,959
- But I get the feeling that she does want
- to believe in me, you know.
- 707
- 00:54:15,994 --> 00:54:17,462
- She's a good girl.
- 708
- 00:54:17,463 --> 00:54:21,454
- She's loyal to her mother's wishes.
- I can't fault that.
- 709
- 00:54:21,489 --> 00:54:25,231
- Of course, if I can't convince the mother,
- 710
- 00:54:25,232 --> 00:54:28,437
- I have no hope of convincing the child.
- 711
- 00:54:30,991 --> 00:54:33,416
- The tooth fairy told me that.
- 712
- 00:54:36,609 --> 00:54:38,777
- Well, your cab's here, Kriss.
- 713
- 00:54:41,563 --> 00:54:46,616
- I always wondered what guys who have to return engagement
- rings Say to the sales clerk at the jewelry store.
- 714
- 00:54:49,863 --> 00:54:51,537
- Now I don't want to know.
- 715
- 00:54:53,361 --> 00:54:56,743
- I'm sure in your line of work
- you can find some lucky guy to give this to.
- 716
- 00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:00,842
- That's very generous of you,
- 717
- 00:55:00,843 --> 00:55:06,182
- but I don't think this ring will ever fit anyone
- Other than Mrs. Walker.
- 718
- 00:55:06,183 --> 00:55:08,664
- I'm sure you'll find somebody.
- 719
- 00:55:08,665 --> 00:55:10,407
- - I'm sorry.
- - It's o. k.
- 720
- 00:55:10,442 --> 00:55:12,248
- I'll get over it.
- 721
- 00:55:12,283 --> 00:55:13,645
- Will Susan?
- 722
- 00:55:17,817 --> 00:55:22,848
- Well... I know what you want
- for christmas now.
- 723
- 00:55:22,883 --> 00:55:24,701
- I'll see what I can do.
- 724
- 00:55:24,702 --> 00:55:26,452
- - Good night.
- - Good night.
- 725
- 00:55:41,143 --> 00:55:43,882
- Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye!
- 726
- 00:55:56,821 --> 00:55:59,600
- Come on.
- It's your turn to go up now.
- 727
- 00:56:01,373 --> 00:56:02,678
- Hello.
- 728
- 00:56:04,309 --> 00:56:05,684
- What do you want for christmas?
- 729
- 00:56:06,164 --> 00:56:08,483
- Excuse me, sir.
- Could you please step aside?
- 730
- 00:56:08,484 --> 00:56:11,414
- This is for the children.
- 731
- 00:56:11,449 --> 00:56:13,533
- Hot little helper you got here, huh, Santa?
- 732
- 00:56:16,638 --> 00:56:20,616
- She the one that puts the, uh...
- twinkle in your eye?
- 733
- 00:56:23,187 --> 00:56:27,382
- Hey, kids, you see that guy up there?
- 734
- 00:56:27,383 --> 00:56:29,060
- He's not really Santa Claus.
- 735
- 00:56:29,061 --> 00:56:32,691
- He doesn't even live at the north pole.
- 736
- 00:56:32,726 --> 00:56:36,321
- He lives in a nursing home on 140th street!
- 737
- 00:56:36,356 --> 00:56:38,344
- You know what he is?
- 738
- 00:56:38,379 --> 00:56:42,882
- He's a big... Fat... Fake!
- 739
- 00:56:50,843 --> 00:56:52,110
- Just a fake.
- 740
- 00:56:53,222 --> 00:56:54,938
- Ho ho ho.
- 741
- 00:57:48,202 --> 00:57:49,721
- Hey! Goofball!
- 742
- 00:57:49,756 --> 00:57:50,989
- Huh?
- 743
- 00:57:50,991 --> 00:57:53,381
- Yeah, you, numb-nuts.
- 744
- 00:57:53,383 --> 00:57:56,948
- What is a guy your age playing
- this game for, huh?
- 745
- 00:57:56,949 --> 00:58:00,336
- I mean, are you just a lonely,
- pathetic mental case?
- 746
- 00:58:00,338 --> 00:58:03,101
- Or does it go a little bit deeper than that?
- 747
- 00:58:03,102 --> 00:58:04,871
- Is there a darker side to this?
- 748
- 00:58:04,872 --> 00:58:08,544
- Tell me something, you sorry old cripple, you.
- 749
- 00:58:08,546 --> 00:58:10,562
- You got a thing for the little ones, huh?
- 750
- 00:58:10,563 --> 00:58:12,687
- Huh? Huh?
- 751
- 00:58:13,782 --> 00:58:16,835
- 'Cause they ain't much good for
- nothin' else, are they? Huh?
- 752
- 00:58:28,313 --> 00:58:30,562
- Stop that man! Quickly!
- 753
- 00:58:32,068 --> 00:58:33,291
- Get the cane away from him.
- 754
- 00:58:33,292 --> 00:58:34,670
- Come on.
- 755
- 00:58:36,188 --> 00:58:38,523
- I... I-I didn'tintend to injure him.
- 756
- 00:58:38,524 --> 00:58:40,813
- He baited me. He provoked me.
- 757
- 00:58:40,815 --> 00:58:42,974
- Save it for the cops, sir.
- 758
- 00:58:42,976 --> 00:58:44,495
- He's badly hurt.
- 759
- 00:58:45,383 --> 00:58:50,981
- Wait a second. You're-
- you're cole's Santa Claus.
- 760
- 00:58:51,016 --> 00:58:53,315
- Cole's Santa Claus?
- 761
- 00:58:55,721 --> 00:59:07,232
- Oh... He... said the most... terrible th-Oh...
- 762
- 00:59:08,521 --> 00:59:10,107
- - Get away folks, please.
- - Come with us.
- 763
- 00:59:10,108 --> 00:59:11,703
- All right, folks.
- 764
- 00:59:13,298 --> 00:59:15,658
- - Please. Step back.
- - Take it easy, mister.
- 765
- 00:59:25,794 --> 00:59:30,087
- You might want to clear the kids out of
- the room before we read this next story.
- 766
- 00:59:30,089 --> 00:59:34,863
- It appears that new york's most famous
- Santa Claus has a mean streak.
- 767
- 00:59:34,864 --> 00:59:40,149
- The centerpiece of c. f. Cole's big holiday
- ad push is behind bars this morning-
- 768
- 00:59:40,151 --> 00:59:43,181
- ...plans regarding a replacement for
- Mr. Kringle.
- 769
- 00:59:43,182 --> 00:59:47,240
- The spokesperson did say, however,
- that for at least the remainder Of today,
- 770
- 00:59:47,241 --> 00:59:50,601
- there will be no Santa Claus
- at the 34th street store.
- 771
- 00:59:50,603 --> 00:59:55,799
- ...without any apparent provocation,
- struck him repeatedly with a walking stick.
- 772
- 00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:58,425
- Police arrived within moments and
- arrested kringle-
- 773
- 00:59:58,426 --> 01:00:01,468
- If you're planning to take your children
- to the store today, take note.
- 774
- 01:00:01,470 --> 01:00:06,234
- There will be no Santa Claus
- at the 34th street store.
- 775
- 01:00:06,235 --> 01:00:09,869
- C.f. Cole's competitors are having
- the last laugh this morning.
- 776
- 01:00:57,948 --> 01:01:04,855
- Who wears a charming suit and
- affects a jolly demeanor, you know.
- 777
- 01:01:04,856 --> 01:01:06,169
- I'm a symbol.
- 778
- 01:01:06,171 --> 01:01:10,425
- I'm a symbol of the human ability
- to suppress the selfish
- 779
- 01:01:10,427 --> 01:01:15,501
- and hateful tendencies that rule the major
- part of our lives.
- 780
- 01:01:15,502 --> 01:01:23,440
- And if you can't accept anything on faith,
- then you're doomed to a life dominated by doubt.
- 781
- 01:01:28,506 --> 01:01:30,564
- Get me Bryan bedford on the phone.
- 782
- 01:01:41,530 --> 01:01:42,765
- Bryan?
- 783
- 01:01:42,767 --> 01:01:45,120
- I know. I saw the papers.
- 784
- 01:01:45,121 --> 01:01:47,325
- I want you to help him.
- 785
- 01:01:47,327 --> 01:01:50,348
- He's at bellevue,
- and I don't know what's happening,
- 786
- 01:01:50,349 --> 01:01:51,675
- but he's alone,
- 787
- 01:01:51,677 --> 01:01:52,998
- And he shouldn't be.
- 788
- 01:01:52,999 --> 01:01:54,673
- What's cole's position?
- 789
- 01:01:54,674 --> 01:01:56,176
- Do their attorneys have an opinion?
- 790
- 01:01:56,178 --> 01:01:57,752
- Oh, this isn't about cole's.
- 791
- 01:01:57,753 --> 01:02:02,549
- This is about a man
- who's had something very wrong done to him.
- 792
- 01:02:02,550 --> 01:02:08,541
- Somebody you care about.
- Somebody... you believe in.
- 793
- 01:02:31,916 --> 01:02:35,060
- Your honor...
- do you have a moment for ed collins?
- 794
- 01:02:35,061 --> 01:02:36,348
- Send him in.
- 795
- 01:02:37,877 --> 01:02:38,934
- Thanks, colby.
- 796
- 01:02:40,569 --> 01:02:41,471
- How are you, eddie?
- 797
- 01:02:41,473 --> 01:02:42,586
- What can I do for you?
- 798
- 01:02:42,588 --> 01:02:43,495
- How are you?
- 799
- 01:02:43,496 --> 01:02:46,112
- Oh, just the commitment papers
- for the cole Santa.
- 800
- 01:02:46,113 --> 01:02:48,650
- That's a shocker, huh?
- 801
- 01:02:48,652 --> 01:02:50,071
- The press is having a field day.
- 802
- 01:02:50,072 --> 01:02:52,127
- "age unknown. " Old man, is he?
- 803
- 01:02:52,128 --> 01:02:54,929
- Very old, your honor.
- 804
- 01:02:54,931 --> 01:02:56,751
- Do I have to read all this?
- 805
- 01:02:56,753 --> 01:02:57,698
- No. It's a slam dunk.
- 806
- 01:02:57,699 --> 01:02:59,534
- Guy's out of his mind.
- 807
- 01:02:59,535 --> 01:03:00,877
- We'd like it over quick.
- 808
- 01:03:02,132 --> 01:03:03,997
- - "we"?
- - Victor.
- 809
- 01:03:03,998 --> 01:03:06,581
- - "victor"?
- - Lamberg.
- 810
- 01:03:09,101 --> 01:03:10,954
- Oh, yes.
- 811
- 01:03:10,956 --> 01:03:12,100
- Right there.
- 812
- 01:03:13,450 --> 01:03:18,329
- Well. Justice will have to prevail,
- of course.
- 813
- 01:03:19,823 --> 01:03:23,893
- Oh, of course.
- 814
- 01:03:23,895 --> 01:03:27,639
- Yes, justice will have to prevail...
- as always.
- 815
- 01:03:28,896 --> 01:03:31,559
- Money makes the world go around, eddie.
- 816
- 01:03:32,405 --> 01:03:34,740
- Yes, it does, your honor, it sure does.
- 817
- 01:03:34,741 --> 01:03:38,262
- By the way, Mr. Lamberg wanted you
- to know that he's Very well aware of
- 818
- 01:03:38,263 --> 01:03:42,395
- your re-election campaign
- coming up this spring.
- 819
- 01:03:42,397 --> 01:03:44,963
- Tell him I would welcome his support.
- 820
- 01:03:44,964 --> 01:03:46,197
- Will do.
- 821
- 01:03:47,275 --> 01:03:48,314
- Come in.
- 822
- 01:03:49,481 --> 01:03:51,535
- A Mr. Bedford's here to see you.
- 823
- 01:03:51,536 --> 01:03:52,433
- Who?
- 824
- 01:03:52,435 --> 01:03:54,897
- He represents Mr. Kringle?
- 825
- 01:03:58,166 --> 01:03:59,365
- Send him in.
- 826
- 01:04:03,026 --> 01:04:06,068
- Your honor, there seems to be
- some undue haste in this case.
- 827
- 01:04:06,070 --> 01:04:09,717
- I wish to protect my client's rights,
- as I'm sure you do.
- 828
- 01:04:09,719 --> 01:04:11,291
- Mr. Prosecutor, this is...
- 829
- 01:04:11,292 --> 01:04:12,514
- Bryan bedford.
- 830
- 01:04:12,970 --> 01:04:14,276
- Ed collins.
- 831
- 01:04:14,888 --> 01:04:19,638
- If your honor please, i request a formal
- hearing where i may bring witnesses.
- 832
- 01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:24,485
- Sign the commitment papers now if you like,
- but I'll bring in habeas corpus this afternoon.
- 833
- 01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:31,644
- We'll have a hearing.
- 834
- 01:04:32,438 --> 01:04:34,628
- Thursday morning, 9 a. m.?
- 835
- 01:04:34,630 --> 01:04:38,087
- Thank you, sir.
- Mr. Collins.
- 836
- 01:04:38,088 --> 01:04:39,557
- Mr. Bedford.
- 837
- 01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:48,632
- I thought you said the old man
- didn't have an attorney.
- 838
- 01:04:48,633 --> 01:04:50,416
- What's the difference?
- 839
- 01:04:50,417 --> 01:04:52,862
- It'll be a hearing, not a jury trial.
- 840
- 01:04:52,863 --> 01:04:54,970
- You're the only one
- that has to be convinced.
- 841
- 01:04:59,339 --> 01:05:00,821
- Have a good day, judge.
- 842
- 01:05:03,414 --> 01:05:05,543
- Want to know somethin', mister?
- 843
- 01:05:05,545 --> 01:05:07,178
- I don't believe it.
- 844
- 01:05:07,180 --> 01:05:09,553
- This guy ain't dangerous.
- 845
- 01:05:09,554 --> 01:05:13,724
- He may be off his rails a little bit,
- but he ain't no thug.
- 846
- 01:05:13,726 --> 01:05:17,753
- And if he wants to call himself santy Claus...
- then god bless him.
- 847
- 01:05:34,603 --> 01:05:35,995
- Hello, Kriss.
- 848
- 01:05:37,981 --> 01:05:40,839
- Hello, Mr. Bedford.
- 849
- 01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:45,190
- What brings you out
- on a miserable day like this?
- 850
- 01:05:48,543 --> 01:05:50,091
- A friend in need.
- 851
- 01:05:51,637 --> 01:05:54,265
- Hmm.
- 852
- 01:05:57,515 --> 01:06:00,334
- You failed your mental exam
- on purpose, didn't you?
- 853
- 01:06:02,426 --> 01:06:07,099
- Huh. Why would I... do a thing like that?
- 854
- 01:06:08,071 --> 01:06:10,179
- I don't know.
- 855
- 01:06:10,180 --> 01:06:12,373
- Maybe you've served people long enough.
- 856
- 01:06:13,790 --> 01:06:15,895
- Maybe you've given all you have to give.
- 857
- 01:06:17,942 --> 01:06:18,942
- No.
- 858
- 01:06:18,943 --> 01:06:20,925
- Then why did you do it?
- 859
- 01:06:20,926 --> 01:06:23,048
- The charges against you were dropped.
- 860
- 01:06:23,050 --> 01:06:26,154
- The man you hit suffered no injury.
- 861
- 01:06:26,156 --> 01:06:28,925
- You could've been out of here
- if you passed your exam.
- 862
- 01:06:30,899 --> 01:06:33,004
- I disgraced myself.
- 863
- 01:06:44,806 --> 01:06:47,733
- I read your transcript, Kriss.
- 864
- 01:06:47,735 --> 01:06:50,145
- You defended your honor.
- 865
- 01:06:50,147 --> 01:06:51,960
- You stood up for the dignity of every child.
- 866
- 01:06:51,961 --> 01:06:56,441
- That isn't a disgrace.
- That's decency.
- 867
- 01:07:00,264 --> 01:07:03,344
- If I'm dismissed as a crazy old man...
- 868
- 01:07:03,345 --> 01:07:06,902
- then the good name of...
- Santa Claus is spared.
- 869
- 01:07:06,903 --> 01:07:08,894
- That isn't true.
- 870
- 01:07:08,896 --> 01:07:12,407
- If not for you, there is no Santa Claus.
- 871
- 01:07:12,409 --> 01:07:14,301
- You are him.
- 872
- 01:07:14,302 --> 01:07:17,536
- Crazy or not, here or gone, you're Santa Claus.
- 873
- 01:07:17,538 --> 01:07:19,916
- Only if the children believe that.
- 874
- 01:07:19,917 --> 01:07:24,030
- And what kind of Santa Claus
- were they believing in, anyway?
- 875
- 01:07:24,032 --> 01:07:28,892
- They can't look to me anymore, not after
- knowing what happened the other night.
- 876
- 01:07:28,893 --> 01:07:31,705
- Well, think about the other night.
- 877
- 01:07:31,706 --> 01:07:34,501
- A man was there to photograph the incident.
- 878
- 01:07:34,502 --> 01:07:37,425
- The man you hit was the man you replaced.
- 879
- 01:07:37,427 --> 01:07:39,959
- The cops told me this, Kriss.
- 880
- 01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:42,048
- The cops believe in you.
- 881
- 01:07:42,049 --> 01:07:43,728
- A lot of people do.
- 882
- 01:07:43,730 --> 01:07:46,060
- More will when we're finished.
- 883
- 01:07:46,062 --> 01:07:48,053
- Finished with what?
- 884
- 01:07:48,054 --> 01:07:50,736
- There's a hearing Thursday to decide
- if you're to be committed.
- 885
- 01:07:50,738 --> 01:07:52,641
- I'm going to defend you.
- 886
- 01:07:52,643 --> 01:07:56,917
- We'll prove that there is Santa Claus
- and that you're him.
- 887
- 01:08:05,698 --> 01:08:07,287
- I'm ready, counselor.
- 888
- 01:08:09,518 --> 01:08:14,180
- Now, we have a few days to distance
- ourselves from this... scandal
- 889
- 01:08:14,182 --> 01:08:17,587
- And restart our advertising.
- 890
- 01:08:17,589 --> 01:08:20,284
- Uh, Mrs. Walker, we are in conference.
- 891
- 01:08:20,285 --> 01:08:22,481
- I have just read your press release.
- 892
- 01:08:22,483 --> 01:08:25,404
- You are all such a bunch of cowards.
- 893
- 01:08:25,406 --> 01:08:27,520
- You really don't deserve to run the store.
- 894
- 01:08:27,521 --> 01:08:30,397
- You are entirely out of line, Mrs. Walker.
- 895
- 01:08:30,399 --> 01:08:35,546
- We have spent millions telling people
- that we are the store that cares.
- 896
- 01:08:35,548 --> 01:08:38,058
- Well, what is it that we care about?
- 897
- 01:08:38,060 --> 01:08:40,201
- Profits? Ourselves?
- 898
- 01:08:40,202 --> 01:08:41,105
- Our jobs?
- 899
- 01:08:41,106 --> 01:08:44,286
- Well, what about one of our
- own who needs us now?
- 900
- 01:08:50,751 --> 01:08:52,254
- And what-what am I to do?
- 901
- 01:08:52,255 --> 01:08:56,401
- The public perception of Kriss is that
- he's out of his mind.
- 902
- 01:08:56,403 --> 01:08:57,209
- He's dangerous.
- 903
- 01:08:57,210 --> 01:08:59,348
- We have to change that.
- 904
- 01:09:01,210 --> 01:09:04,898
- If... we stand with Kriss...
- 905
- 01:09:04,899 --> 01:09:08,430
- If we challenge the rumors
- and the scandal sheets,
- 906
- 01:09:08,432 --> 01:09:11,652
- if we force the truth, we'll win.
- 907
- 01:09:11,653 --> 01:09:17,932
- Now, he's going into court with...
- the best attorney in the city.
- 908
- 01:09:17,933 --> 01:09:22,931
- And he's going to prove
- that Kriss is not... crazy.
- 909
- 01:09:27,085 --> 01:09:29,975
- For the sake of the whole company...
- 910
- 01:09:29,976 --> 01:09:36,908
- I think that all of you should decide
- about whether or not You...
- 911
- 01:09:36,910 --> 01:09:38,991
- believe in Santa Claus.
- 912
- 01:09:46,269 --> 01:09:48,590
- Bring up two. Go.
- 913
- 01:09:48,591 --> 01:09:50,589
- For the last 75 years,
- 914
- 01:09:50,591 --> 01:09:55,905
- cole's has invited Santa Claus to meet
- and greet The children of new york city
- 915
- 01:09:55,907 --> 01:09:58,688
- in our 34th street store.
- 916
- 01:09:58,690 --> 01:10:02,906
- Cole's believes in Santa Claus...
- 917
- 01:10:02,907 --> 01:10:05,510
- and we will stand by him.
- 918
- 01:10:05,512 --> 01:10:10,233
- He has done nothing but serve the children
- and the families of new york city..
- 919
- 01:10:10,234 --> 01:10:19,640
- And the world. We invite you to join with us
- and ask yourself this one simple question-
- 920
- 01:10:19,641 --> 01:10:21,620
- Do you believe in Santa Claus?
- 921
- 01:11:33,125 --> 01:11:36,104
- I have to confess, I'm a bit uneasy.
- 922
- 01:11:36,105 --> 01:11:39,545
- You'll be fine.
- All you have to do is tell the truth.
- 923
- 01:11:41,655 --> 01:11:44,103
- Who's that character in the gray suit?
- 924
- 01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:47,362
- That's the prosecutor.
- 925
- 01:11:47,363 --> 01:11:51,581
- Oh. Anything I should know about him?
- 926
- 01:11:51,583 --> 01:11:53,913
- Yeah. He doesn't believe in
- Santa Claus.
- 927
- 01:11:55,383 --> 01:12:00,022
- All rise!
- Oyez, oyez.
- 928
- 01:12:00,023 --> 01:12:02,735
- Let all those who have business
- before this court come forward.
- 929
- 01:12:02,736 --> 01:12:06,847
- The honorable justice harper presiding.
- Draw near, and ye shall be heard.
- 930
- 01:12:09,153 --> 01:12:11,115
- You may sit.
- 931
- 01:12:13,988 --> 01:12:17,828
- Your honor, in the matter of Kriss kringle,
- the commitment papers are on your desk.
- 932
- 01:12:17,863 --> 01:12:21,144
- May I call the first witness?
- 933
- 01:12:23,041 --> 01:12:26,089
- Mr. Kringle,
- would you please take the stand?
- 934
- 01:12:38,918 --> 01:12:41,351
- Good morning, judge.
- 935
- 01:12:41,353 --> 01:12:44,120
- How's that grandson of yours?
- 936
- 01:12:46,016 --> 01:12:47,327
- The parade.
- 937
- 01:12:47,328 --> 01:12:50,624
- He thought I looked like Santa Claus.
- 938
- 01:12:50,659 --> 01:12:54,244
- Oh. Oh, yes.
- 939
- 01:12:54,246 --> 01:12:57,827
- You swear to tell the whole truth,
- so help you god?
- 940
- 01:12:57,828 --> 01:13:00,663
- Yes. Uh, don't i put my hand on a bible?
- 941
- 01:13:00,665 --> 01:13:02,239
- No, sir, you don't.
- 942
- 01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:06,470
- Oh. Well, then,
- I'll put my hand over my heart instead.
- 943
- 01:13:06,471 --> 01:13:08,932
- I do. I do.
- 944
- 01:13:08,934 --> 01:13:10,432
- Sit down, please.
- 945
- 01:13:21,255 --> 01:13:22,610
- What is your name?
- 946
- 01:13:24,406 --> 01:13:26,881
- I'm so sorry.
- I didn'tintroduce myself.
- 947
- 01:13:26,882 --> 01:13:29,137
- I do beg your pardon.
- You're Mr. Collins.
- 948
- 01:13:29,138 --> 01:13:31,085
- I'm Mr. Kringle. Kriss kringle.
- 949
- 01:13:33,340 --> 01:13:34,912
- Order.
- 950
- 01:13:37,459 --> 01:13:38,799
- Kriss kringle.
- 951
- 01:13:38,801 --> 01:13:41,992
- It's double "k. "
- 952
- 01:13:41,994 --> 01:13:43,926
- Tell me, Mr. Kringle,
- 953
- 01:13:43,927 --> 01:13:46,300
- do you believe that you are Santa Claus?
- 954
- 01:13:47,414 --> 01:13:49,702
- Well, would I be here if I didn't?
- 955
- 01:13:49,704 --> 01:13:52,289
- Just yes or no, Mr. Kringle.
- 956
- 01:13:52,290 --> 01:13:54,525
- Do you believe that you are Santa Claus?
- 957
- 01:13:56,617 --> 01:13:57,938
- Yes, of course.
- 958
- 01:14:03,466 --> 01:14:07,120
- Santa Claus. Hmm.
- 959
- 01:14:08,572 --> 01:14:10,584
- State rests, your honor.
- 960
- 01:14:13,161 --> 01:14:16,107
- Mr. Bedford, do you wish to
- cross-examine the witness?
- 961
- 01:14:16,109 --> 01:14:18,233
- No further questions, your honor.
- 962
- 01:14:18,234 --> 01:14:20,038
- Uh, you may step down, Mr. Kringle.
- 963
- 01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:21,285
- Oh. Thank you.
- 964
- 01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:22,532
- Mr. Bedford.
- 965
- 01:14:22,534 --> 01:14:27,351
- In view of your client's statement,
- do you still wish to offer a defense?
- 966
- 01:14:27,352 --> 01:14:28,711
- Yes, your honor.
- 967
- 01:14:28,713 --> 01:14:31,218
- I should like to call my first witness.
- 968
- 01:14:39,728 --> 01:14:41,060
- Can you tell us your name?
- 969
- 01:14:41,062 --> 01:14:43,634
- My name is Daniel lowry.
- 970
- 01:14:45,228 --> 01:14:48,054
- And what'd you get for christmas
- last year, Daniel?
- 971
- 01:14:48,056 --> 01:14:51,240
- Um... a bike and, um...
- 972
- 01:14:51,242 --> 01:14:52,681
- And who gave you the bike?
- 973
- 01:14:52,682 --> 01:14:54,529
- Him.
- 974
- 01:14:54,530 --> 01:14:55,901
- What's his name?
- 975
- 01:14:55,902 --> 01:14:57,317
- Santa Claus.
- 976
- 01:14:57,318 --> 01:14:58,708
- You're sure he's Santa Claus?
- 977
- 01:14:58,710 --> 01:14:59,672
- Yep.
- 978
- 01:14:59,674 --> 01:15:00,732
- How can you be sure?
- 979
- 01:15:00,733 --> 01:15:03,130
- 'Cause he looks like Santa Claus.
- 980
- 01:15:05,347 --> 01:15:06,597
- Any other reasons?
- 981
- 01:15:06,598 --> 01:15:09,379
- Oh, he's very nice...
- 982
- 01:15:09,381 --> 01:15:14,133
- And he works at cole's,
- and he's got elves.
- 983
- 01:15:14,135 --> 01:15:16,639
- Well, tell me something, Daniel...
- 984
- 01:15:16,641 --> 01:15:18,741
- could that man be Santa Claus?
- 985
- 01:15:18,742 --> 01:15:19,630
- Nope.
- 986
- 01:15:19,631 --> 01:15:20,767
- Why not?
- 987
- 01:15:20,769 --> 01:15:23,947
- 'Cause Santa don't got a grumpy face.
- 988
- 01:15:26,572 --> 01:15:27,822
- Order.
- 989
- 01:15:32,069 --> 01:15:33,659
- No further questions.
- 990
- 01:15:34,921 --> 01:15:39,441
- Um... Mr. Collins, do you wish to
- cross-examine the witness?
- 991
- 01:15:39,442 --> 01:15:41,637
- No, your honor. No questions.
- 992
- 01:15:43,026 --> 01:15:45,559
- Do I have to go to jail now?
- 993
- 01:15:45,561 --> 01:15:50,196
- No. You can go back to your seat.
- 994
- 01:15:50,198 --> 01:15:51,500
- Your honor...
- 995
- 01:15:51,501 --> 01:15:54,853
- I should like to call my next witness.
- 996
- 01:15:54,888 --> 01:15:56,940
- Mrs. Rebecca collins.
- 997
- 01:16:05,118 --> 01:16:06,369
- Order.
- 998
- 01:16:17,691 --> 01:16:21,211
- You swear to tell the whole truth,
- so help you god?
- 999
- 01:16:21,212 --> 01:16:21,931
- I do.
- 1000
- 01:16:21,932 --> 01:16:23,408
- Sit down, please.
- 1001
- 01:16:26,158 --> 01:16:29,360
- Do you have children, Mrs. Collins?
- 1002
- 01:16:29,362 --> 01:16:30,723
- I have two.
- 1003
- 01:16:30,724 --> 01:16:31,799
- How old are they?
- 1004
- 01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:33,510
- 4 and 7.
- 1005
- 01:16:33,512 --> 01:16:34,622
- Do they believe in Santa Claus?
- 1006
- 01:16:34,623 --> 01:16:36,783
- I object, your honor.
- 1007
- 01:16:36,785 --> 01:16:38,430
- On what grounds, Mr. Collins?
- 1008
- 01:16:38,431 --> 01:16:40,281
- The witness is my wife.
- 1009
- 01:16:40,283 --> 01:16:44,345
- Mr. Bedford is deliberately harassing her
- solely in order to embarrass me
- 1010
- 01:16:44,346 --> 01:16:47,053
- and expose private matters to the court.
- 1011
- 01:16:47,055 --> 01:16:49,568
- Your honor, I'm merely attempting to
- establish that Mr. Collins,
- 1012
- 01:16:49,570 --> 01:16:53,132
- Like so many others, has taught
- his children that there is a Santa Claus.
- 1013
- 01:16:53,803 --> 01:16:56,980
- Objection overruled.
- You may continue.
- 1014
- 01:16:56,981 --> 01:16:59,019
- Thank you, your honor.
- 1015
- 01:16:59,020 --> 01:17:03,682
- Mrs. Collins, do your children
- believe in Santa Claus?
- 1016
- 01:17:03,684 --> 01:17:04,702
- Yes.
- 1017
- 01:17:04,704 --> 01:17:06,304
- Did they come to this belief naturally,
- 1018
- 01:17:06,305 --> 01:17:09,841
- or were they introduced to it
- by a family member?
- 1019
- 01:17:09,843 --> 01:17:12,097
- By a family member.
- 1020
- 01:17:12,099 --> 01:17:14,032
- - Yourself.
- - Yes.
- 1021
- 01:17:14,033 --> 01:17:15,690
- And your husband.
- 1022
- 01:17:20,058 --> 01:17:21,611
- Uh... yes.
- 1023
- 01:17:21,612 --> 01:17:26,190
- Your husband told your children
- that there is a Santa Claus?
- 1024
- 01:17:26,192 --> 01:17:27,434
- Yes.
- 1025
- 01:17:29,508 --> 01:17:31,508
- On more than one occasion?
- 1026
- 01:17:31,509 --> 01:17:34,378
- Uh... y-yeah.
- 1027
- 01:17:34,380 --> 01:17:34,973
- Mrs. Collins,
- 1028
- 01:17:34,974 --> 01:17:39,601
- have you taken your children to see
- a department store Santa Claus this year?
- 1029
- 01:17:39,603 --> 01:17:40,479
- Yes, we have.
- 1030
- 01:17:40,481 --> 01:17:41,958
- - Where?
- - At cole's.
- 1031
- 01:17:41,959 --> 01:17:43,995
- So your children have met Mr. Kringle.
- 1032
- 01:17:43,997 --> 01:17:45,235
- Oh, yes.
- 1033
- 01:17:47,059 --> 01:17:49,743
- And they accepted him as Santa Claus.
- 1034
- 01:17:49,745 --> 01:17:50,395
- Yes.
- 1035
- 01:17:50,397 --> 01:17:53,318
- Did the question of Mr. Kringle's
- authenticity arise at any time
- 1036
- 01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:56,065
- Before or after your children met him?
- 1037
- 01:17:56,066 --> 01:17:58,447
- Uh... yes. It was after.
- 1038
- 01:17:58,448 --> 01:18:01,985
- And did you deny... or confirm...
- 1039
- 01:18:01,987 --> 01:18:04,394
- that Mr. Kringle is the real Santa Claus?
- 1040
- 01:18:04,395 --> 01:18:06,546
- You're under oath now, Mrs. Collins.
- 1041
- 01:18:15,108 --> 01:18:19,033
- U- um... w-well, actually, my-my husband
- 1042
- 01:18:19,035 --> 01:18:21,227
- confirmed that he's the real Santa Claus.
- 1043
- 01:18:27,093 --> 01:18:29,414
- No further questions, your honor.
- 1044
- 01:18:29,449 --> 01:18:32,096
- Thank you, Mrs. Collins.
- 1045
- 01:18:32,098 --> 01:18:33,528
- Merry christmas.
- 1046
- 01:18:34,314 --> 01:18:38,954
- Mr. Collins... do you wish to
- cross-examine... your wife?
- 1047
- 01:18:42,721 --> 01:18:45,134
- I object, your honor.
- This is irrelevant, immaterial,
- 1048
- 01:18:45,135 --> 01:18:47,222
- and absolutely ridiculous.
- 1049
- 01:18:47,224 --> 01:18:49,490
- Mr. Bedford is making
- a mockery of this court.
- 1050
- 01:18:49,492 --> 01:18:53,058
- He's not even established that
- there's such a person as Santa Claus.
- 1051
- 01:18:53,059 --> 01:18:55,255
- Your honor, I would ask Mr. Collins
- 1052
- 01:18:55,257 --> 01:18:59,218
- if he could offer any proof that there
- Is no Santa Claus.
- 1053
- 01:19:01,290 --> 01:19:03,249
- Your honor, I'd like a recess until tomorrow
- 1054
- 01:19:03,250 --> 01:19:08,379
- so that I might Adequately prepare
- to meet Mr. Bedford's challenge.
- 1055
- 01:19:09,327 --> 01:19:11,464
- Mr. Bedford, do you have any objections?
- 1056
- 01:19:11,466 --> 01:19:12,645
- No, your honor.
- 1057
- 01:19:15,202 --> 01:19:19,677
- This court stands in recess
- until 9:00 tomorrow morning.
- 1058
- 01:19:30,543 --> 01:19:33,002
- I knew if I got him angry enough,
- he'd take the offensive.
- 1059
- 01:19:33,037 --> 01:19:36,243
- There's no way in a court of law
- we can prove Santa Claus exists
- 1060
- 01:19:36,244 --> 01:19:37,424
- or that you're him.
- 1061
- 01:19:37,426 --> 01:19:41,665
- Haven't you given him the opportunity
- of proving that I don't exist?
- 1062
- 01:19:41,666 --> 01:19:44,909
- Exactly. You see, he'll go too far.
- 1063
- 01:19:44,911 --> 01:19:48,278
- Our best defense is to let collins
- hang himself.
- 1064
- 01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:51,520
- Oh. Oh, I see.
- 1065
- 01:19:51,522 --> 01:19:53,334
- But you have to promise me one thing.
- 1066
- 01:19:53,335 --> 01:19:54,641
- You'll speak only when I tell you to.
- 1067
- 01:19:54,643 --> 01:19:56,020
- You have my word.
- 1068
- 01:19:56,021 --> 01:19:57,274
- Good. Come on.
- 1069
- 01:20:20,666 --> 01:20:23,749
- I, um... I just wanted to thank you
- 1070
- 01:20:23,751 --> 01:20:27,066
- for everything that you're doing for Kriss.
- 1071
- 01:20:27,068 --> 01:20:30,169
- I was in the gallery.
- I don't know if you saw me.
- 1072
- 01:20:30,170 --> 01:20:31,940
- I still have a long way to go.
- 1073
- 01:20:31,941 --> 01:20:36,020
- I think you'll do it.
- I hope you will.
- 1074
- 01:20:36,055 --> 01:20:38,072
- I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
- 1075
- 01:20:44,963 --> 01:20:51,770
- About... last week...
- I'm sorry.
- 1076
- 01:20:51,772 --> 01:20:59,364
- I mean it. I'm really, really sorry.
- I was... just...
- 1077
- 01:20:59,366 --> 01:21:00,884
- Scared?
- 1078
- 01:21:05,537 --> 01:21:06,822
- Yes.
- 1079
- 01:21:08,283 --> 01:21:12,448
- Well... no permanent damage.
- 1080
- 01:21:18,674 --> 01:21:22,138
- - Well, I'd...
- - I have to pick Susan up from school.
- 1081
- 01:21:22,140 --> 01:21:23,063
- Oh, how's she doing?
- 1082
- 01:21:23,065 --> 01:21:24,721
- She's good. She's good.
- 1083
- 01:21:24,722 --> 01:21:27,675
- I think she... misses you.
- 1084
- 01:21:31,030 --> 01:21:32,810
- Tell her I said hello.
- 1085
- 01:21:38,048 --> 01:21:39,425
- Bye.
- 1086
- 01:21:49,367 --> 01:21:51,100
- Oh, indeed, there was.
- 1087
- 01:21:51,101 --> 01:21:54,067
- Saint nicholas, otherwise known as
- Santa Claus,
- 1088
- 01:21:54,068 --> 01:21:58,323
- was a fourth century
- Bishop in myra, lycia-asia minor.
- 1089
- 01:21:58,324 --> 01:22:02,457
- Uh, dr. Hunter, what is the church's
- position on saint nicholas?
- 1090
- 01:22:02,459 --> 01:22:04,121
- He's a recognized saint.
- 1091
- 01:22:04,122 --> 01:22:06,532
- Yes, but isn't it true that in 1969,
- 1092
- 01:22:06,534 --> 01:22:12,875
- pope paul vi eliminated the official
- celebration of the feast day of saint nicholas?
- 1093
- 01:22:12,910 --> 01:22:14,251
- That's correct.
- 1094
- 01:22:14,253 --> 01:22:17,384
- Uh, it was made an optional memorial day.
- 1095
- 01:22:17,385 --> 01:22:19,773
- They downgraded him.
- 1096
- 01:22:19,775 --> 01:22:24,103
- In essence, the church walked away
- from saint nicholas.
- 1097
- 01:22:24,104 --> 01:22:26,708
- Doesn't it also stand to reason
- that they would walk away
- 1098
- 01:22:26,710 --> 01:22:32,781
- From the derivative, diluted,
- secular figure of Santa Claus?
- 1099
- 01:22:32,782 --> 01:22:35,186
- I... presume so.
- 1100
- 01:22:38,523 --> 01:22:40,381
- Thank you... Dr. Hunter.
- 1101
- 01:22:40,382 --> 01:22:43,977
- But the church has not made it clear
- what its pos-
- 1102
- 01:22:45,980 --> 01:22:47,818
- No further questions.
- 1103
- 01:22:49,762 --> 01:22:51,199
- It's all right, Kriss.
- 1104
- 01:22:51,201 --> 01:22:53,717
- He's just trying to get under your skin.
- 1105
- 01:22:53,718 --> 01:22:57,004
- Colonel.
- Have you ever been to the north pole?
- 1106
- 01:22:57,005 --> 01:23:00,695
- Yes, sir.
- In 1972 and again in 1984.
- 1107
- 01:23:00,697 --> 01:23:02,647
- Did you explore the region?
- 1108
- 01:23:02,648 --> 01:23:03,869
- Extensively.
- 1109
- 01:23:03,871 --> 01:23:06,411
- Did you ever find
- any evidence of dwellings...
- 1110
- 01:23:06,412 --> 01:23:09,691
- animal pens, barns, workshops?
- 1111
- 01:23:09,726 --> 01:23:11,617
- No, sir.
- 1112
- 01:23:11,619 --> 01:23:13,638
- No evidence whatsoever?
- 1113
- 01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:14,880
- None, sir.
- 1114
- 01:23:15,497 --> 01:23:16,964
- Tell me something, colonel.
- 1115
- 01:23:16,965 --> 01:23:21,205
- In your opinion, would it be possible
- for an individual Like, uh,
- 1116
- 01:23:21,206 --> 01:23:22,892
- Mr. Kringle over there
- 1117
- 01:23:22,893 --> 01:23:26,243
- to create a settlement in that
- Inhospitable region
- 1118
- 01:23:26,245 --> 01:23:28,968
- large enough to manufacture
- at least one toy
- 1119
- 01:23:28,969 --> 01:23:34,176
- For each and every one of the earth's
- 1.7 billion children?
- 1120
- 01:23:34,178 --> 01:23:35,511
- No, sir.
- 1121
- 01:23:35,512 --> 01:23:39,235
- There isn't any way in which the gentleman
- can have seen my workshops.
- 1122
- 01:23:39,237 --> 01:23:41,163
- They're invisible.
- 1123
- 01:23:42,181 --> 01:23:43,265
- Kriss, sit down, please.
- 1124
- 01:23:43,267 --> 01:23:46,415
- But Mr. Collins is completely mistaken.
- 1125
- 01:23:46,417 --> 01:23:49,234
- My workshops don't exist
- in the physical world.
- 1126
- 01:23:49,235 --> 01:23:51,149
- They're in the dream world.
- 1127
- 01:23:51,151 --> 01:23:53,132
- Let me be the lawyer.
- 1128
- 01:23:57,591 --> 01:24:00,598
- I always thought that was
- completely understood.
- 1129
- 01:24:01,444 --> 01:24:05,210
- Your honor... with the court's permission,
- I'd like to call my next witness.
- 1130
- 01:24:22,324 --> 01:24:24,222
- Mr. Collins, what is this?
- 1131
- 01:24:24,224 --> 01:24:26,650
- This... is a reindeer, your honor.
- 1132
- 01:24:28,191 --> 01:24:30,926
- I know, but what's it doing
- in my courtroom?
- 1133
- 01:24:30,927 --> 01:24:35,185
- I'd like the court to see Mr. Kringle
- make the reindeer fly.
- 1134
- 01:24:35,187 --> 01:24:37,380
- He's baiting you.
- He wants you to lose your temper.
- 1135
- 01:24:37,382 --> 01:24:39,759
- He wants you to act crazy.
- Remember that.
- 1136
- 01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:42,888
- Mr. Kringle... we're waiting.
- 1137
- 01:24:45,913 --> 01:24:48,838
- Well... Isn't it.
- 1138
- 01:24:48,840 --> 01:24:56,755
- Well, I would greatly like to oblige Mr. Collins,
- but I cannot make this reindeer fly.
- 1139
- 01:24:56,756 --> 01:24:58,156
- I didn't think so.
- 1140
- 01:24:58,158 --> 01:25:00,544
- He only flies on christmas eve.
- 1141
- 01:25:05,746 --> 01:25:08,635
- Yes. Of course.
- No further questions, your honor.
- 1142
- 01:25:08,637 --> 01:25:11,994
- Then would somebody please remove
- the witnes-
- 1143
- 01:25:11,995 --> 01:25:14,677
- the animal from the courtroom?
- 1144
- 01:25:14,712 --> 01:25:19,020
- Your honor, the state of new york
- has no desire in laying waste
- 1145
- 01:25:19,022 --> 01:25:22,668
- to a popular myth,
- but this case is not about mythology.
- 1146
- 01:25:22,669 --> 01:25:27,792
- It's about the mental competency of a man-
- that man Kriss kringle.
- 1147
- 01:25:27,794 --> 01:25:30,416
- Everyone in this courtroom,
- 1148
- 01:25:30,418 --> 01:25:33,322
- if they were entirely honest
- with themselves,
- 1149
- 01:25:33,324 --> 01:25:36,939
- Would have to conclude based on
- the evidence that Mr. Kringle,
- 1150
- 01:25:36,940 --> 01:25:39,701
- regrettably, is insane.
- 1151
- 01:25:41,453 --> 01:25:45,086
- As a sworn guardian of the laws
- of the state of new york,
- 1152
- 01:25:45,087 --> 01:25:47,350
- As a citizen and a father,
- 1153
- 01:25:47,352 --> 01:25:50,204
- it is my wish that Mr. Kringle,
- 1154
- 01:25:50,206 --> 01:25:52,846
- Who masquerades as Santa Claus,
- 1155
- 01:25:52,847 --> 01:25:57,368
- a figure of benevolence
- And generosity,
- 1156
- 01:25:57,369 --> 01:26:00,026
- but who does so solely for profit-
- 1157
- 01:26:00,028 --> 01:26:02,318
- That's not true!
- 1158
- 01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:03,258
- Your honor.
- 1159
- 01:26:04,659 --> 01:26:08,279
- Mr. Kringle will refrain from comment,
- or he will be removed from the courtroom.
- 1160
- 01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:11,280
- Sit down. Sit down, Kriss.
- 1161
- 01:26:11,282 --> 01:26:12,474
- Your honor,
- 1162
- 01:26:12,476 --> 01:26:16,820
- I was not aware that cole's department
- store was a charitable Institution.
- 1163
- 01:26:16,855 --> 01:26:21,164
- If it is, I'm more than willing to apologize
- to the court and to Mr. Kringle.
- 1164
- 01:26:23,254 --> 01:26:25,378
- I didn'tthink so, your honor.
- 1165
- 01:26:25,379 --> 01:26:28,082
- As I was saying before I was
- so rudely interrupted,
- 1166
- 01:26:28,084 --> 01:26:35,801
- it is my wish that Mr. Kringle be placed
- under the care of the state
- 1167
- 01:26:35,802 --> 01:26:41,207
- so that the children of new york
- will no longer be put at risk.
- 1168
- 01:26:42,642 --> 01:26:44,926
- Hey, you big jerk!
- 1169
- 01:26:44,928 --> 01:26:47,336
- Mr. Kringle's the nicest man in the world!
- 1170
- 01:26:47,371 --> 01:26:49,809
- He'd never hurt anybody!
- 1171
- 01:26:49,811 --> 01:26:53,649
- Order!
- Order!
- 1172
- 01:26:53,650 --> 01:26:57,785
- - Sit down!
- - Order! Order!
- 1173
- 01:26:59,468 --> 01:27:02,290
- I have nothing further to say, your honor.
- 1174
- 01:27:02,292 --> 01:27:04,642
- Kriss, sit down. We're almost through.
- 1175
- 01:27:04,643 --> 01:27:06,783
- Honey, it's o. k.
- 1176
- 01:27:08,706 --> 01:27:13,424
- Mr. Bedford... do you wish
- to make a closing statement?
- 1177
- 01:27:17,273 --> 01:27:21,145
- Your honor,
- a lot of people believe in Mr. Kringle,
- 1178
- 01:27:21,147 --> 01:27:24,940
- including millions of children.
- 1179
- 01:27:24,941 --> 01:27:31,238
- If you rule against him, you won't destroy
- anyone's belief, just the man they believe in.
- 1180
- 01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:35,989
- Mr. Kringle is not concerned for himself.
- If he was, he wouldn't be here.
- 1181
- 01:27:35,991 --> 01:27:40,617
- He is in this regrettable position
- because he is willing to sacrifice himself
- 1182
- 01:27:40,618 --> 01:27:47,348
- for children to create in their minds
- a world far better than the one we've made for them.
- 1183
- 01:27:47,350 --> 01:27:50,999
- If this is, as Mr. Collins suggests,
- a masquerade,
- 1184
- 01:27:51,034 --> 01:27:56,886
- then Mr. Kringle is eager to forfeit his
- 1185
- 01:27:56,887 --> 01:27:59,564
- freedom to preserve that masquerade,
- To subject himself to prosecution,
- 1186
- 01:27:59,566 --> 01:28:03,147
- to protect the children's Right to believe.
- 1187
- 01:28:06,341 --> 01:28:11,671
- If this court finds that Mr. Kringle
- is not who he says he is,
- 1188
- 01:28:11,672 --> 01:28:16,476
- that there is no Santa Clause, then I
- would ask the court to judge which is worse-
- 1189
- 01:28:16,478 --> 01:28:23,505
- A lie that draws a smile,
- or a truth...
- 1190
- 01:28:23,540 --> 01:28:25,696
- that draws a tear?
- 1191
- 01:28:33,156 --> 01:28:34,637
- I rest my case.
- 1192
- 01:28:41,137 --> 01:28:44,630
- I shall render my opinion on this matter
- at 12:00 noon tomorrow.
- 1193
- 01:28:46,703 --> 01:28:49,430
- Until that time, this court stands in recess.
- 1194
- 01:29:06,413 --> 01:29:07,575
- Hello, judge.
- 1195
- 01:29:08,885 --> 01:29:11,202
- I appreciate your waiting for me.
- 1196
- 01:29:11,204 --> 01:29:12,179
- Sit down.
- 1197
- 01:29:17,433 --> 01:29:19,352
- How did I get on this case?
- 1198
- 01:29:21,781 --> 01:29:24,406
- I don't want to rule against your client,
- 1199
- 01:29:24,407 --> 01:29:28,426
- but I can't see how, given the facts,
- 1200
- 01:29:28,428 --> 01:29:30,604
- I can do otherwise.
- 1201
- 01:29:30,605 --> 01:29:34,836
- A man who believes himself to be someone
- he isn't is by definition disturbed.
- 1202
- 01:29:34,837 --> 01:29:38,434
- He isn't dangerous.
- He isn't a threat.
- 1203
- 01:29:38,436 --> 01:29:41,264
- I can't sit up on that bench
- 1204
- 01:29:41,266 --> 01:29:46,231
- as a representative of the state of new york
- And declare that there is a Santa Claus.
- 1205
- 01:29:46,232 --> 01:29:50,513
- I can't make that argument,
- much as I'd like to.
- 1206
- 01:29:52,478 --> 01:29:55,204
- Believe me, Mr. Bedford,
- 1207
- 01:29:55,206 --> 01:29:57,631
- if I had a way out of this,
- 1208
- 01:29:57,632 --> 01:30:01,778
- I'd take it.
- I'm sorry.
- 1209
- 01:30:04,519 --> 01:30:06,474
- It's all about money, isn't it?
- 1210
- 01:30:12,811 --> 01:30:15,589
- You know what destroyed Kriss kringle?
- 1211
- 01:30:15,591 --> 01:30:19,719
- Power, greed, and this.
- 1212
- 01:30:23,180 --> 01:30:25,287
- Anger and recrimination may
- soothe your soul,
- 1213
- 01:30:25,288 --> 01:30:27,660
- but it won't help Mr. Kringle.
- 1214
- 01:30:27,662 --> 01:30:32,840
- He doesn't need a bitter epilogue
- from his attorney.
- 1215
- 01:30:32,841 --> 01:30:34,358
- He needs a miracle.
- 1216
- 01:32:09,871 --> 01:32:11,138
- You may sit.
- 1217
- 01:32:18,296 --> 01:32:23,480
- Ahem. Having heard the evidence
- in the matter of Kriss kringle,
- 1218
- 01:32:23,481 --> 01:32:27,805
- I, judge henry harper, a representative
- of the state of new york,
- 1219
- 01:32:27,840 --> 01:32:31,191
- Must regrettably rule on this day,
- 1220
- 01:32:31,193 --> 01:32:35,386
- the 24th of december, in the year...
- 1221
- 01:32:41,617 --> 01:32:44,682
- Would it please the court
- if i gave you your christmas card?
- 1222
- 01:32:44,684 --> 01:32:49,944
- I probably won't see you again unless
- I get arrested, which is very unlikely,
- 1223
- 01:32:49,945 --> 01:32:54,550
- Since it's christmas eve and I'm going
- to bed uncharacteristically early.
- 1224
- 01:33:00,317 --> 01:33:02,239
- Thank you very much, young lady.
- 1225
- 01:33:02,241 --> 01:33:04,100
- You're entirely welcome.
- 1226
- 01:33:04,101 --> 01:33:08,642
- And, uh... Merry christmas.
- 1227
- 01:33:08,643 --> 01:33:10,569
- Merry christmas to you.
- 1228
- 01:33:18,834 --> 01:33:20,653
- What are you doing?
- 1229
- 01:34:00,196 --> 01:34:01,482
- Merry christmas
- 1230
- 01:34:07,976 --> 01:34:09,706
- I'm not going to be needing that.
- 1231
- 01:34:11,284 --> 01:34:13,025
- The young lady who just
- approached the bench
- 1232
- 01:34:13,026 --> 01:34:15,876
- presented me with
- thi christmas card and this.
- 1233
- 01:34:15,878 --> 01:34:18,107
- It's a $1.00 bill.
- 1234
- 01:34:18,108 --> 01:34:20,386
- It's going to be returned to her shortly,
- 1235
- 01:34:20,388 --> 01:34:23,143
- but by presenting me With this bill,
- 1236
- 01:34:23,144 --> 01:34:28,144
- she reminded me that it's issued by
- the treasury of the united states of America.
- 1237
- 01:34:28,146 --> 01:34:30,890
- And it's backed by the government,
- 1238
- 01:34:30,892 --> 01:34:35,006
- and the people,
- of the united states of America.
- 1239
- 01:34:37,521 --> 01:34:39,075
- Upon inspection of the article,
- 1240
- 01:34:39,077 --> 01:34:43,684
- you will see the words, "in god we trust. "
- 1241
- 01:34:43,686 --> 01:34:46,404
- We're not here to prove that god exists,
- 1242
- 01:34:46,405 --> 01:34:48,568
- but we are here to prove
- That a being
- 1243
- 01:34:48,570 --> 01:34:54,318
- just as invisible and
- yet just as present exists.
- 1244
- 01:34:54,319 --> 01:34:56,292
- Federal government puts its trust in god.
- 1245
- 01:34:56,294 --> 01:34:58,896
- It does so on faith and faith alone.
- 1246
- 01:34:58,898 --> 01:35:01,694
- It's the will of the people that guides
- the government.
- 1247
- 01:35:01,695 --> 01:35:04,810
- And it is and was their collective faith
- 1248
- 01:35:04,845 --> 01:35:09,098
- in a greater being that gave
- And gives cause to this bill's inscription.
- 1249
- 01:35:09,099 --> 01:35:12,842
- Now, if the government of the united
- states can issue its currency
- 1250
- 01:35:12,844 --> 01:35:17,085
- bearing a declaration of
- trust in god without demanding
- 1251
- 01:35:17,086 --> 01:35:23,664
- physical evidence of the existence
- or the nonexistence of a greater being,
- 1252
- 01:35:23,666 --> 01:35:25,753
- then the state of new york,
- 1253
- 01:35:25,754 --> 01:35:32,012
- by a similar demonstration of
- the collective faith of its people,
- 1254
- 01:35:32,014 --> 01:35:36,015
- can accept and acknowledge
- that Santa Claus does exist,
- 1255
- 01:35:36,016 --> 01:35:39,558
- and he exists In the person
- of Kriss kringle!
- 1256
- 01:35:46,977 --> 01:35:48,352
- Case dismissed.
- 1257
- 01:35:52,324 --> 01:35:55,617
- Case dismissed!
- Santa Claus wins!
- 1258
- 01:36:07,189 --> 01:36:10,550
- All charges have been dropped.
- Kriss kringle is free.
- 1259
- 01:36:10,552 --> 01:36:12,009
- Hey!
- 1260
- 01:36:12,011 --> 01:36:13,862
- - How about that.
- - Yes!
- 1261
- 01:36:18,206 --> 01:36:19,246
- You're right, Kriss.
- 1262
- 01:36:19,248 --> 01:36:22,263
- - It's all about the children.
- - Yes.
- 1263
- 01:36:23,891 --> 01:36:24,976
- Congratulations, counselor.
- 1264
- 01:36:24,978 --> 01:36:26,136
- Thank you.
- 1265
- 01:36:27,479 --> 01:36:29,070
- Merry christmas, Mr. Kringle.
- 1266
- 01:36:29,071 --> 01:36:31,045
- Merry christmas to you, Mr. Collins.
- 1267
- 01:36:31,047 --> 01:36:32,149
- Thank you.
- 1268
- 01:36:34,151 --> 01:36:37,344
- Uh, my children...
- 1269
- 01:36:37,379 --> 01:36:40,305
- wanted me to remind you to stop by
- the house tonight.
- 1270
- 01:36:40,307 --> 01:36:42,688
- I won't forget. I promise.
- 1271
- 01:36:42,690 --> 01:36:46,228
- We live in stanford-31 Shellhammer
- bromton road, the big white house.
- 1272
- 01:36:46,230 --> 01:36:49,490
- Yes. I know it well.
- 1273
- 01:36:49,491 --> 01:36:51,411
- Yeah. Well...
- 1274
- 01:36:51,413 --> 01:36:53,288
- anyway, merry christmas.
- 1275
- 01:36:53,290 --> 01:36:55,884
- Oh, uh, Mr. Collins,
- 1276
- 01:36:55,885 --> 01:36:59,251
- I hope you've taken down that
- old television antenna.
- 1277
- 01:36:59,253 --> 01:37:02,472
- I ripped my pants on it last year.
- 1278
- 01:37:11,295 --> 01:37:14,005
- Well, Kriss, you're free.
- 1279
- 01:37:14,006 --> 01:37:15,440
- You made a believer out of everybody.
- 1280
- 01:37:15,442 --> 01:37:19,671
- Oh, no. Not everybody.
- There are still a few I have to convince.
- 1281
- 01:37:19,672 --> 01:37:21,414
- One in particular.
- 1282
- 01:37:21,416 --> 01:37:22,738
- Excuse me.
- 1283
- 01:37:23,779 --> 01:37:24,892
- Way to go, Bryan.
- 1284
- 01:37:24,894 --> 01:37:26,284
- I'm so happy for you.
- 1285
- 01:37:26,286 --> 01:37:28,070
- Thank you very much, Mrs. Walker.
- 1286
- 01:37:28,071 --> 01:37:30,085
- You did a great job, sweetie.
- 1287
- 01:37:30,087 --> 01:37:31,929
- You kicked that guy's bottom.
- 1288
- 01:37:34,712 --> 01:37:37,053
- Well, she saved the day.
- 1289
- 01:37:41,098 --> 01:37:43,613

- Again, thank you so much.
- 1301
- 01:38:35,072 --> 01:38:37,816
- I shall never forget you.
- 1302
- 01:38:37,817 --> 01:38:40,616
- And in all my troubles past
- 1303
- 01:38:40,651 --> 01:38:43,630
- and all my troubles yet to come,
- 1304
- 01:38:43,631 --> 01:38:45,876
- I'll never find a better friend.
- 1305
- 01:38:48,678 --> 01:38:53,308
- Thank you, Kriss.
- Merry christmas.
- 1306
- 01:38:56,891 --> 01:38:59,349
- Merry christmas to you, Bryan.
- 1307
- 01:39:04,553 --> 01:39:06,443
- Hey, you want to share a cab home?
- 1308
- 01:39:07,777 --> 01:39:09,435
- Home?
- 1309
- 01:39:09,437 --> 01:39:13,120
- Not tonight.
- I'm going to be somewhat busy.
- 1310
- 01:39:14,979 --> 01:39:16,390
- That's right.
- 1311
- 01:39:22,013 --> 01:39:26,906
- Mr. Kringle! Mr. Kringle! Mr. Kringle!
- 1312
- 01:39:33,762 --> 01:39:36,369
- This is going to blow up in my face, isn't it?
- 1313
- 01:39:39,171 --> 01:39:42,118
- I lost bigger than i ever thought I'd win.
- 1314
- 01:39:42,153 --> 01:39:43,550
- There was a lot of pressure.
- 1315
- 01:39:43,552 --> 01:39:45,870
- Who knew what the judge was going to do
- 1316
- 01:39:45,872 --> 01:39:50,163
- when he was faced
- With putting Santa in the nut house?
- 1317
- 01:39:50,165 --> 01:39:52,100
- He isn't Santa Claus.
- 1318
- 01:39:52,101 --> 01:39:54,136
- What the hell is the matter with everybody?
- 1319
- 01:39:54,138 --> 01:39:56,305
- There is no Santa Claus!
- 1320
- 01:43:14,209 --> 01:43:16,172
- Is somebody getting married?
- 1321
- 01:43:16,174 --> 01:43:17,925
- Not that I know of.
- 1322
- 01:43:21,187 --> 01:43:24,080
- Did you arrange this?
- 1323
- 01:43:25,141 --> 01:43:27,496
- No. You did.
- 1324
- 01:43:27,498 --> 01:43:29,069
- Oh, i did?
- 1325
- 01:43:29,070 --> 01:43:29,935
- You didn't?
- 1326
- 01:43:29,936 --> 01:43:31,055
- I didn't. Did you?
- 1327
- 01:43:31,057 --> 01:43:33,348
- - I didn't.
- - I know you did.
- 1328
- 01:43:33,350 --> 01:43:34,697
- - Oh, no.
- - Yes, you did.
- 1329
- 01:43:34,698 --> 01:43:36,202
- You did, didn't you?
- 1330
- 01:43:36,204 --> 01:43:38,763
- I did not.
- 1331
- 01:43:38,765 --> 01:43:40,108
- Father?
- 1332
- 01:43:43,763 --> 01:43:45,244
- Are you ready?
- 1333
- 01:43:46,392 --> 01:43:48,346
- For what?
- 1334
- 01:43:48,347 --> 01:43:49,935
- To get married.
- 1335
- 01:45:10,849 --> 01:45:13,491
- I have something to tell you.
- 1336
- 01:45:17,074 --> 01:45:18,553
- What'd you get for christmas?
- 1337
- 01:45:53,886 --> 01:45:56,325
- Susan, that's not why we're going to the house.
- 1338
- 01:45:56,327 --> 01:45:58,770
- We're going to the catalog house, right?
- 1339
- 01:45:58,771 --> 01:46:01,143
- That's the house i told him I wanted.
- 1340
- 01:46:01,144 --> 01:46:03,606
- I showed him a picture of it.
- 1341
- 01:46:03,608 --> 01:46:05,675
- He said he would get it for me.
- 1342
- 01:46:05,677 --> 01:46:07,869
- A house is a big gift.
- 1343
- 01:46:07,871 --> 01:46:09,300
- That's what Mr. Kringle said.
- 1344
- 01:46:09,301 --> 01:46:13,902
- We are going to the house
- because it's snowing,
- 1345
- 01:46:13,904 --> 01:46:15,439
- and it's very pretty,
- 1346
- 01:46:15,441 --> 01:46:18,134
- And because Mr. Shellhammer
- wants to take photographs
- 1347
- 01:46:18,135 --> 01:46:20,274
- for next year's Christmas catalog,
- 1348
- 01:46:20,276 --> 01:46:24,528
- which, I think, is awfully bold of him.
- It is a holiday.
- 1349
- 01:46:24,529 --> 01:46:26,743
- That's just an excuse.
- 1350
- 01:46:26,744 --> 01:46:28,615
- Mr. Kringle did all this.
- 1351
- 01:46:28,616 --> 01:46:32,574
- I'm very sorry, mother.
- You have it perfectly wrong.
- 1352
- 01:47:23,576 --> 01:47:25,537
- You got a bonus.
- 1353
- 01:47:25,538 --> 01:47:26,470
- What do you mean?
- 1354
- 01:47:26,471 --> 01:47:28,053
- Our name's on the mailbox.
- 1355
- 01:47:28,054 --> 01:47:30,530
- I got a call last night from Mr. Kringle,
- 1356
- 01:47:30,532 --> 01:47:34,924
- who said you And your husband
- were looking for a house.
- 1357
- 01:47:34,926 --> 01:47:36,653
- He was quite insistent.
- 1358
- 01:47:38,530 --> 01:47:40,083
- Did you get married?
- 1359
- 01:47:40,085 --> 01:47:41,692
- Yeah. Last night.
- 1360
- 01:47:41,694 --> 01:47:42,983
- I can't believe it.
- 1361
- 01:47:42,985 --> 01:47:45,203
- Congratulations.
- 1362
- 01:47:45,205 --> 01:47:46,433
- Was this planned?
- 1363
- 01:47:47,138 --> 01:47:49,069
- Uh... no.
- 1364
- 01:47:49,070 --> 01:47:50,642
- I can't believe it.
- 1365
- 01:47:50,643 --> 01:47:55,884
- Mr. Kringle wanted to be here, but, uh,
- he's overseas.
- 1366
- 01:47:58,384 --> 01:48:00,370
- Mr. Kringle?
- 1367
- 01:48:00,372 --> 01:48:03,536
- Oh, the house is for sale,
- 1368
- 01:48:03,537 --> 01:48:05,256
- but I'm sure you can afford it now.
- 1369
- 01:48:05,258 --> 01:48:09,833
- We all get our bonuses thanks to you
- and, uh, Mr. Kringle.
- 1370
- 01:48:15,813 --> 01:48:17,101
- Wow.
- 1371
- 01:48:30,205 --> 01:48:31,365
- I knew it.
- 1372
- 01:48:32,057 --> 01:48:34,483
- Oh, thank you.
- 1373
- 01:48:34,485 --> 01:48:38,897
- Oh, I don't know what to say,
- except merry christmas.
- 1374
- 01:48:38,898 --> 01:48:39,778
- Merry christmas.
- 1375
- 01:48:39,779 --> 01:48:41,230
- Oh.
- 1376
- 01:48:41,232 --> 01:48:42,801
- Chin-chin.
- 1377
- 01:48:51,533 --> 01:48:53,513
- This is the house I asked Kriss for.
- 1378
- 01:48:53,514 --> 01:48:55,273
- He got it for me,
- 1379
- 01:48:55,274 --> 01:48:57,646
- and he got me a dad,
- 1380
- 01:48:57,647 --> 01:48:59,076
- and the third thing-
- 1381
- 01:48:59,078 --> 01:49:02,421
- I guess I'll just have to wait for it,
- 1382
- 01:49:02,456 --> 01:49:05,765
- but he'll get it for me, won't he?
- 1383
- 01:49:05,767 --> 01:49:10,638
- If Kriss said he'd get you something,
- i bet it's already on the way.
- 1384
- 01:49:10,639 --> 01:49:14,794
- I guess there's no doubt about it.
- He's real.
- 1385
- 01:49:14,795 --> 01:49:18,018
- I'm going up to look at my new room.
- Excuse me.
- 1386
- 01:49:23,620 --> 01:49:24,479
- Susan?
- 1387
- 01:49:25,183 --> 01:49:26,274
- What?
- 1388
- 01:49:27,174 --> 01:49:31,076
- What else did you ask Mr. Kringle for?
- 1389
- 01:49:31,078 --> 01:49:34,257
- A baby brother.
- See ya!
