Noelle Edit

A child wakes up, wants to talk to me, I don't speak their language.

A girl? Santa's not a girl!

A grumpy, bitter, miserable elf.

A hysterical woman...

A little town up north.

A pathetic mall Santa?

About Christmas? How's that possible?

About the perfect Christmas getaway.

About two months ago, we had a guy with a sleigh and a reindeer

After visiting his grandmother in the nursing home.

After you.

Ah! Cousin Gabe.

Ah! Mmm!

Alex doesn't cook.

Alex is into music now,

Alex is spending Christmas with his step dad and my ex, Jessie.

ALEX: Where are you from?

All I have ever done is try to help you.

All right, thank you for being so nice to Alex.

All right.

All right. Good luck in there.

All that matters is what's happening to you.

ALL: Yeah!

Alone. That's a jolly idea.

Also, can we stay here tonight?

Although, this Christmas is a sad one.

Am I supposed to land on the house?

An iPad. You got it.

And a woman who's certain she's Mother Nature.

And a wonderful dad.

And after he passed, my brother was supposed to take over,

And also, iPads.

And always be ready to run away.

And always keep his Christmas spirit up.

And arranging each present with love and care under the tree.

And as for me, I mean, I'm Santa. It's great!

And check this out. Three Weeks To A Jelly Belly...

And do our traditional Sun Ming red and green eggroll thing, but I just...

And encouraging them to do better next year.

And fly the sleigh, and do something really important.

And have the red and green egg rolls.

And he seemed a little overwhelmed. So I mentioned, almost as a joke...

And Helen finally got her vacation.

And her Christmas wish wasn't for herself.

And his father

And how your advice affected Christmas and all of the children in the world.

And I don't know if my brother's okay.

And I feel guilty and...

And I found a Christmas Yoga Class taught by a Nick K.

And I have another patient who's convinced he's Frosty the Snowman.

And I hoped everyone at home had come around to the idea of a girl Santa.

And I hoped everyone at home had come around to the idea of a girl Santa.

And I know Christmas can't solve all our problems.

And I met a woman at a marketplace

And I met this sweet, wonderful boy who has this big heart.

And I see that you don't believe her.

And I think our customers deserve better.

And I thought they might brighten the place up a little.

And I'll find some. I will bring some.

And if you don't, no more pressure. I will leave you alone. I almost promise.

And if you know what Christmas means to you,

And it got me thinking.

And it turns out there's nothing there that says a woman can't be Santa.

And just making everyone feel jolly.

And making your silly cards?

And maybe bring back some new magazines. That's probably what that's about.

And nobody's giving me my Kringle discount anymore.

And now he wants to stay and do yoga,

And now it's my big brother's turn,

And now my brother is Santa Claus. You can start laughing now.

And now my ex wife's...

And our dearly beloved Santa Nicholas, passed away.

And presents are part of it.

And put some butter on it, it gives it this crunchy texture each bite.

And really listening to what they have to say.

And red is totally your color.

And satellite surveillance,

And say, "You're not Santa."

And sell them as reindeer treats, like you said, Helen?

And so do you. I saw you speaking Arabic to Elf Tippy.

And stop eating waffles in bed.

And tell us about his night, and that was my favorite present.

And that looks like, uh, an old guitar.

And that's gonna be your job, okay?

And the big question is: will he be ready by Christmas?

And the world just gets more awful and miserable. So what's the point?

And then Dad would sit with us

And then I made sure to keep a promise I'd made to Alex.

And then I overcompensate and...

And then, Elf Polly, now Aunt Polly,

And throw in a pair of noise cancelling headphones for dad. Great.

And visited a few other places I'd missed,

And was wondering if you knew where Cousin... Santa, you know, was.

And watch some basketball. Like a total loser.

And we have no idea where Santa is.

And we'd hang stockings together.

And we're way, way behind schedule at the workshop.

And when those blue memories start calling

And where are you from?

And why are you wearing a winter hat and mittens in Phoenix?

And you can't keep me safe if you're here and I'm in Phoenix.

And you don't tell anybody who you are or where you came from.

And you know how much your brother depends on you. So you can help him,

And you still get a present from Santa.

And you're very generous with sunblock.

And, um, everybody in the North Pole is really mad at me.

And, um...

And, yes. I know how strange that sounds.

And... I'm sorry.

And... peppermint.

Another boy was rejected because of his failure to floss.

Anyway, here we are.

Are you a part of this?

Are you sure?

As Christmas is just six days away, we must have a new Santa.

As Nick becomes the 23rd Kringle to wear the red hat.

As specified by the Christmas covenant.

As you may know, my cousin Nick, the ex Santa,

Ask him.

At home, he doesn't even go indoors.

At the Desert Ridge Marketplace today.

At the urging of his sister, Noelle.

AUTOMATED VOICE 1: You've got presents.

AUTOMATED VOICE 2: Merry Christmas.

AUTOMATED VOICE 3: Feliz Navidad!

AUTOMATED VOICE: Destination, Phoenix, Arizona.

Aw. Well...

Because for 2,000 years,

Because I kicked a policeman,

Because instead of getting the presents,

Because it allowed us to develop...

Because it reminds them they don't have enough food to eat or a place to live.

Because it's an ensemble.

Because my job depends on not getting caught.

Because we must select the next adult male Kringle

Because you were so mean to Jennie Stalts just 'cause she has a lisp.

Because you're nice. I mean, officially.

Besides, you're the one that told me to go.

BOY 1: What's gonna happen with Christmas?

BOY 2: This never happened before.

BOY: Look, Santa's back!

BOY: Look, there's another Santa!

Bring me back some issues while you're down there.

But Dad always told us that Christmas must go on,

But he left and came to Phoenix,

But he was in charge of putting lights in the tree

But I also met a girl at a shelter who drew these beautiful pictures,

But I can give you $150 in retail merchandise.

But I can't be Santa.

But I got you something.

But I met people for whom it isn't the best day

But I need Miss Kringle on official police business for a second.

But I need you to track him. Okay?

But I overheard it, and oh, my garland, was he right!

But I told you, Jessie and I don't get along.

But I would like to help decide what toys to make,

But I'm here 'cause I'm looking for my brother.

But I'm in the Tech department. And loving it.

But it gives us hope.

But let's keep it between us,

But now, I think it's not just about the presents we get.

But once that happened, I was ready to go to work.

But there's no Santa.

But they might be great.

But they're for all of us to enjoy.

But this time, it was better than ever.

But to get out of here, stop talking about the North Pole,

But we can't take you out looking like this.

But we have to find him because I know,

But we really need you.

But we're not going to a workshop. Are we?

But while I was away, I...

But you guys seem mad.

But you need to Santa up. You've gotta show them who's boss.

But you're gonna get your wish and spend Christmas with your whole family.

By order of the council, the pom pom now rests upon your head.

Can I come in?

Can you not do that, please? Thank you.

Can you see joy?

Can you see love?

Can you see sorrow?

Can you stop, please? Or I will have to have you arrested.

Can you... This is my desk.

Can't go down chimneys. I'm claustrophobic.

Can't treat them like your cuddly pets.

Cheap suit, no one's gonna believe that.

Christmas Eve was always the best night of the year.

Christmas Eve was my favorite night of the year.

Christmas means spending time with Alex.

CLARA: Jake? It's Clara. Open up.

CLARA: Jake? Open up.

Come by the office tomorrow at 9:00. Bring non edible money.

Come on, give me a shot.

Come on.

Come on. Go.

Come on. Thanks, guys. It was...

Come on. Wake up.

COMMENTATOR: Team tracks for Texas.

Congratulations, my boy. It's time to start your Santa training.

Congratulations, Santa.

Could've come in the front door, but he wanted to give us the full treatment.

Crashing all the way Ha, ha, ha!

CROWD: No!

CROWD: Santa's back!

CROWD: Yes!

Cute? That's a common misconception.

Dad always said you never forget your first Christmas as Santa.

Dad passed away five months ago, and I miss him every day.

Dad said, "It's not about what the kid looks like.

Dad, I never told Noelle that.

Dad! The sleigh is amazing.

Dad! You're home!

Dad?

Dasher nearly broke an antler.

Definitely not one of ours.

Deliriously joyful.

Did I do it wrong?

Did we miss Greece?

Did you fly here all by yourself?

Did you tell Alex that I would spend Christmas with him and my ex wife?

Do they make that? I'm kidding. I know they do.

Do you know sign?

Do you know what? If I wasn't so enlightened,

Do you want anything else? Any gelato or...

Doing wonderful, selfless things.

Don't do that. Please.

Don't drink that. That's awful.

Don't keep these little nuggets of brilliance all to yourself.

Don't press the patties down so hard.

Done.

Drama queen. Miss that guy.

Dude, this is supposed to be our song, come on!

ELDER ELF ABE: Rest ye, merry gentlemen.

ELDER ELF ABE: Santa, we're still not clear

ELDER ELF BILLY: I don't know about this guy.

ELF POLLY: "Take a journey to a better you."

ELF POLLY: Careful.

Elf Polly.

ELF SERGE: All right.

Especially for us Kringles,

Even though she knew she might not have anyone to spend it with.

Every Christmas Eve, he would slide down the chimney.

Every December 24th.

Every frickin' time. I'm gonna lose it.

Everybody at home is blaming me, yelling at me,

Everyone makes mistakes.

Everyone's been working super hard to help him get ready,

Exactly! Bingo! Partridge in a pear tree! That's what I've been trying to tell you!

Except for two.

Excuse me, sir, may I please borrow your...

Excuse me.

Explaining the decision

Fa la la la la la la la la

Fa la la la la la la la la

FALALA was able to ascertain that he is Nice. And he wants a PlayStation.

FALALA.

Fine. Then it'll all be on Dasher.

First of all, there aren't actually billions of presents, Elder Elf Abe.

Fly straight?

For Christmas, he wants his cousin to come live with him

For instance...

For thousands of years, we've jingled bells and delivered toys,

Force of habit. Once a nanny, always a nanny.

Forensic Algorithm for Lateral Analysis of Latent Altruism.

Forever.

From any liabilities as a result of your presence.

From the first moment that I held you in my arms,

Frosty's here?

GABE OVER SPEAKERS: Merry Christmas, Elf folk, it's Santa. Santa Gabe.

Gabe, aren't you even worried about your cousins, Nick and Noelle, and Polly?

Gabe, for the last time,

Gabe, how is that possible?

Gabe.

Gabriel Kringle.

Get away for a while and he wound up here,

Get her out of that hospital, and I will take care of the rest.

Get over here.

Get ready, 'cause I...

Get some sunblock fast.

Give me that picture of your brother.

Go ahead. Go on.

Go to sleep. You go to sleep.

Good luck, Kringle. Merry Christmas.

Gosh, I'd love to go myself one day.

Got it.

Got it. So, Merry Christmas. What's your name?

GPS coordinates!

Guacamole? What is it made from?

Have you been naughty or nice this year?

He analyzed the breakfast you gave him this morning in great detail.

He drives down the court, it's an easy lay up.

He go this way?

He looks nice and polite, so I haven't dated him.

He missed the roof and hit the den

He really warmed up to you.

He smells like hot chocolate and peppermint, now it's mixed with incense.

He's even Santa to himself.

He's got a beard, pom pom.

He's on a whole journey.

He's terrified of fireplaces.

He's under a lot of pressure right now, but he's very real.

HELEN: Mmm hmm.

Hello.

Hello. Merry Christmas.

Hey, Helen. We're all out of bird food.

Hey, hey! (LAUGHING)

Hey, man, I like everything you do.

Hey, maybe you could give me some lessons.

Hey! Get out of my garden, now! Go!

Hey! Good appetite.

Hey! Oh, my God! I'm so jolly you're here.

Hi, Helen.

Hi, I know you're mad at me.

Hi, Merry Christmas. What's your name?

Hi.

His name is Rover. Which is a dog's name. (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

Hmm.

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho! Hi!

Ho, ho, ho! Who is next? You, come on.

Ho, ho, ho.

Ho, ho... Ow!

Hold on.

Hope you've been nice this year.

Hopefully, we'll have some more cheerful stories for you soon.

Hot chocolate and peppermint.

How am I supposed to know which is the right present to give each child?

How are you planning on having Christmas without the reindeer and the sleigh?

How can I help you?

How can I help?

How can I pick their present?

How did you get here?

How did you just do that?

How do you know?

How do you suggest I do that?

How is your brother doing?

How many great ideas have you been sitting on?

How many people wear gingerbread deodorant?`

How to use this thing called Google Translate.

How was your night, dear?

How you plan to deliver billions of presents with no sleigh or reindeer.

How'd you know about Jennie Stalts?

However many presents there are, we have no way to deliver them.

Huh.

Huh...

I always thought, eventually, I'd do something important.

I always thought, eventually, I'd do something important.

I believe that you believe.

I can't give you $150 in cash.

I can't. It's terrible.

I could see something in your eyes, and I said to myself,

I could, but I start to break out in a rash, and my hair starts to...

I couldn't find any money, but I did bring all this stuff.

I did. He's sitting right next to me.

I disagree.

I don't have a phone.

I don't have any kids.

I don't know about that. But, uh... Sure, if that's what you want to do.

I don't know if I'm ready, Polly.

I don't know if this is a great idea.

I don't know what that is.

I don't know what those things are, but I will take all of them.

I don't know, I just know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. I don't.

I don't know. You pick stuff up.

I don't need you to do any of that stuff. Honestly.

I don't see any difference from what you usually wear.

I don't think so.

I don't think we're gonna be doing that this year.

I don't understand. It's very professional,

I don't wanna be a party pooper, but I think it's time we get goin'.

I don't wanna do this. No!

I don't wanna hurt my dad's feelings, he worked hard on it.

I don't want my ex and her husband to feel weird.

I feel like I've been shivering my whole life, you know?

I find most people, they don't know what's in their own hearts.

I guess that's why she assaulted a cop.

I guess this is their village. Where is everybody?

I had a couple small changes I wanted to make.

I had a minor in popcorn stringing.

I have a picture.

I have been out in the forest, chopping firewood, carting it on my back,

I have mixed feelings, honestly.

I have no idea. Just focus really hard, I guess?

I have to make sure he's havin' a good time

I hoped he'd be proud of me.

I just said he should take the weekend off.

I just said, "Take the weekend."

I just said, go for the weekend.

I just thought this was my chance to do something right.

I knew you'd come.

I know you told Noelle you wanted me to come over

I know you wanna be on the team, you're just not ready yet.

I know, it totally captures the essence of Christmas, getting the perfect present.

I know. I can't pretend to be someone I'm not anymore.

I learned what it takes to be Santa.

I left her a card explaining everything,

I left the suit in the North Pole.

I like presents as much as anybody.

I like the weather. I like yoga, I mean, I donated all my thermals to charity.

I like your pants, they're jolly.

I love you.

I made Polly the first female elder elf.

I mean, I've been training to be Santa my whole life.

I missed you! Oh, my goodness!

I need to go get her lunch, but it was nice to meet you.

I needed that.

I never get to go to work. Unless it's at the workshop.

I never get to see what you do. It'll be interesting.

I really don't see how that's your business.

I really love presents.

I rechecked the Christmas covenant.

I said take the weekend. Nobody listens to me.

I see.

I think he probably took the sleigh for a practice flight.

I thought elves were supposed to be like, uh...

I thought he would come back.

I thought maybe you wouldn't like it.

I treat a man who believes he's the tooth fairy.

I used to think Christmas was the best day of the year.

I want it shut.

I wanted to install GPS and USB C portals on the sleigh,

I was giving them.

I was so happy that Jake got to see Alex for Christmas.

I went back to Greece,

I wonder which child made this?

I would like to do what you do.

I wouldn't... Um...

I... I know I let you all down,

I'd be seething with anger right now.

I'd wait up with my brother for Santa.

I'll get it for you. With accessories.

I'm counting on you.

I'm going to get my brother, and you're coming with me.

I'm going to the North Pole where nobody expects anything from me.

I'm gonna need some more time, not today, 'cause Alex and I are going to laser tag.

I'm gonna stay at home, put a frozen pizza in the oven

I'm just gonna leave this. You don't have to read it.

I'm just Nick.

I'm not going back.

I'm not gonna laugh, Noelle.

I'm not sure about this.

I'm not sure this fits.

I'm on the way out, but I'll see what I can do for $150 a day.

I'm only doing it so my parents can practice using Snapchat.

I'm really glad it's not me.

I'm Santa. I don't get a vacation. I don't even get Christmas off.

I'm serious. You get one ride. Get out.

I'm sorry I said that. I do like your cards.

I'm sorry, Dad.

I'm sorry, I must have cotton candy in my ears.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. No. Go back to sleep!

I'm sorry, okay. Just hold on. Can't let anybody hear.

I'm sorry. Did you just refer to him as Cousin Nick?

I'm supposed to take him to a basketball game

I'm the manager of the Desert Ridge Marketplace.

I'm worried something might have happened to him.

I've dealt with many patients who have unusual identities.

I've listened to it on tape. I just don't get it.

I've never tried this before,

If a child wakes up, try to coax them gently back to sleep.

If I haven't determined who's naughty or nice,

If you're not here with me

In fact, if you tell me what you want, put in a good word for ya. Hmm?

In his heart, he wants to run the family business.

In honor of my brother?

In my personal opinion, very nice.

In the sleeve... of my jacket.

Is that a bird landing?

Is there any way he could borrow yours?

Is there anything realer than that?

It can be the biggest thing in the world.

It can't possibly be that much. What about my Kringle discount? (CHUCKLES)

It inspires us to be nice.

It loses the juices and gets dried out. And if you toast the bun,

It seems like there's a real shortage of Christmas spirit this year.

It smells like it should taste good, but it doesn't.

It was a horrible example of what can go wrong when you're using, well,

It was for her mother to be able to find a job.

It was jolly.

It will fit you when you fit it.

It'll probably be awkward, I don't wanna ruin Christmas for Alex.

It's a big day for nice.

It's a digitized metric

It's a powder. You pour hot water in it and it becomes hot chocolate, instantly.

It's about the presents we give.

It's about understanding people, and, uh...

It's been shut, which is why this room smells like old stockings.

It's burning. Oh, my God, it's in my eye.

It's complicated.

It's for blocking the sun. It's great. Is that good?

It's in your destiny.

It's just a tradition we've been blindly following for thousands of years.

It's kind of offensive.

It's like being locked in the cookie cottage during toll house season, right?

It's nice to meet you too, Michelle. What do you want for Christmas?

It's not just for me.

It's really a lovely picture, though.

It's the... Is this a...

It's way better when you make it with real melted chocolate.

It's what you do when you think someone's awesome.

JAKE: He's about 6'2", he's dressed in a red suit,

JAKE: I'm glad you enjoyed it.

JAKE: Kringle, come in.

JAKE: Oh!

Jolly. The presents were all delivered.

Joy to the world Except for you

Just get a couple pancake...

Just gotta... You got a couple of extra coats, but...

Just like Dad told me to.

Just this bone.

Just walkin' my dog, you know.

Just, if you want to.

KIDS: Merry Christmas, Santa Noelle!

KIDS: Santa!

Kringle, two minutes.

Kringle, you're the one who omits things.

Kringle?

Kringle?

Laugh... mostly at you.

Leaving me no choice but to call upon...

Let alone anyone else's.

Let me ask you a question, Detective.

Let me get your other file, Kringle.

Let's find you a phone. I'm sure somebody will let us...

Let's get together. I'd love to hear anything else you have to say.

Let's go find him. Ready, and one, two, three...

Let's say you were a good girl,

Let's start at the top.

Like how you can speak sign language, or chocolate money.

Like I want your germs.

Like Prancer.

Like what you feel for your boy?

Like what?

Listen, I know we can't hang this Christmas,

Listen, I like it here. Okay?

Listen, miss,

Listen, you've never been out of the North Pole.

Little lower and to the right, please.

Look, I don't know how you knew about me and Alex,

Look, lady, um, with all due respect...

Look, my sister didn't mean any harm, okay? She just...

Look. What's happening at the Pole is very naughty.

Looks like we got a Santa, guys!

Ma'am, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

MALL SANTA: I have a diploma from the Phoenix Santa school.

MALL SANTA: What're you doing? This is my gig. Time to move.

MAN 1: Where is he?

MAN 2: When was the last time you saw him?

MAN 3: It's Noelle's fault.

MAN ON PA: Guess who's coming to the marketplace. Santa!

Man, that's fun to say!

MAN: Breathe in through your nose, out your mouth.

MAN: Candy just doesn't taste the same without you, Santa.

MAN: Just come back, we got the milk and cookies for you, Santa.

MAN: Sorry I'm late, dude. Forgot my pants.

MAN: We miss you, Santa.

Matt Bautista is nice.

Maui and San Juan. What's between Maui and San Juan?

Maybe you're just not eating enough.

Me? Open up?

Merry Christmas, Noelle.

Merry Christmas, Santa.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas. Noelle Kringle. Jake?

Merry Christmas. What's your name?

Miss Kringle, I think that we should resume and... Oh!

Mmm mmm. (SCOFFS)

Mmm, instant hot chocolate? Is this for real?

Mmm, sounds naughty.

Money, yes. You cannot put a price on what this is worth to me.

More like Vixen, with that tuft of hair up there.

Morning, my name's Jake Hapman. I'm a licensed private detective.

Morning, princess.

Mother's furious, and everybody hates me because I've ruined Christmas.

MRS. CLAUS: Excuse me, Gabe.

MRS. CLAUS: Holy night.

MRS. CLAUS: I want everyone to double check everything.

My brother could be hurt. He might've fallen out of the sleigh.

My children are home! (LAUGHING)

My dad always said, "Christmas is like sushi,

My dad was Santa Claus, he was great.

My daughter says thank you, and she wants to know what your name is.

My friend has an important call to make, his phone died.

My little girl.

My name is Noelle.

My pleasure. You guys have a great day.

My sister, Noelle.

Nearly every child fibbed,

Never completed the Nice or Naughty list, but that's jolly.

Never know when you're gonna need an extra coat. It is winter.

Nevertheless, you must approach

Next stop, Desert Botanical Gardens. Yoga retreat.

Next.

Nick and I would peek out from our rooms, I'd say I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus.

Nick K? Nick K! That's him! Ah!

Nick, won't you even speak to me?

NICK: Can I just say one thing?

NICK: I just don't think it's that great of an idea.

NICK: She looks like she likes playing guitar,

Nick?

Nick.

Nick.

Nick. (PANTING)

Nick. I appreciate the gesture, but what are you doing?

No one but Santa has ever left the Pole.

No, I have to eat this.

No, I think I'm good. Thanks.

No, I'm not.

No, I'm not. Please, I don't know what I'm doing.

No, listen to me. I can do this.

No, listen. I'm...

No, Nick is Santa.

No, no. Come on. Nice try. Frosty couldn't survive in Phoenix.

No, no. Wait, wait, wait. Jackets, everyone.

No, people don't just let people borrow phones.

No! (SCREAMS AND GROANS)

No! Snowy! Snow...

No. I tend to believe what I can see.

No. Not going back without my brother. And it's your job to help me.

No. Not that I'm aware of, no.

No. Okay. Maybe I inherited a couple of Dad's powers,

No. That's fair, um, yeah.

No. Yoga... pants.

Nobody asked you if you wanted to wear the hat.

Nobody wants you sliding into their fireplace crying and weeping.

Noelle Kringle. I hope you get what you want for Christmas.

Noelle, can you inspire us?

Noelle, I'm sorry, you gotta go.

Noelle, why did you tell your brother to leave?

Noelle, you go out there and you be merry,

NOELLE: And as for me, I'm still making my cards and spreading Christmas cheer,

NOELLE: And Santa's Helpers are singing...

NOELLE: And when Michelle and her mom

NOELLE: Believe it or not, that's actually an improvement.

NOELLE: Have you seen this man?

NOELLE: He's been practicing his sleigh flying here in the Pole.

NOELLE: Merry Christmas!

NOELLE: Merry Christmas!

NOELLE: Mmm.

NOELLE: Mother.

NOELLE: My geeky cousin, Gabe, and his Tech Elves are doing something.

NOELLE: Nick's happy here. Yeah, he wants to stay.

NOELLE: Now that I was the 24th Kringle to wear the red hat,

NOELLE: Now that I'm grown up, Christmas is still my favorite time of the year.

NOELLE: Oh, this is heavy.

NOELLE: Okay, Nick, I know you're scared of the reindeer,

NOELLE: Okay, Snowy,

NOELLE: Okay!

NOELLE: Puffins, scatter!

NOELLE: Sit back down. This is where you belong.

NOELLE: Sometimes, all you need is a nice word from a friend

NOELLE: Sorry, guys!

NOELLE: This, thank you.

NOELLE: Turns out, I didn't have to worry.

NOELLE: Uh...

NOELLE: When I was little girl,

NOELLE: Which I slightly regret.

NOELLE: Whoo!

Noelle! Elf Carol. Daily Carol.

Nothing merry about that.

Nothing. It's just for show. Try those.

Now assume... downward facing reindeer.

Now that is very mature.

Now wait a minute. I wanna show you something.

Now you go to sleep. Okay?

Now, I say we take all 2,837 presents,

Now, I see she told you,

Now, vacate the premises or I'll have to call the police...

Of course! He's a Kringle.

Of emails denying children presents and signed by Santa Claus.

OFFICER: Right outside if you need me, Jake. You got two minutes.

Oh, and an iPad. Obviously.

Oh, Helen, which way is Phoenix?

Oh, hey, little guy.

Oh, hey, there it is.

Oh, hi! Who are you?

Oh, I do. Um...

Oh, I forgot it's Christmas.

Oh, I hope their Christmas works out.

Oh, I love that. (CHUCKLES) How's that done?

Oh, I see my friend. I'll be back.

Oh, I totally see the resemblance.

Oh, I'll give you female energy.

Oh, I'm sorry. I just thought that since we were all family, that...

Oh, Jake, Alex. This is Elf...

Oh, mmm...

Oh, my garland. This is amazing!

Oh, my gosh, it's magical. Look at that.

Oh, my partridge in a pear tree underwear needs washing.

Oh, no, yeah, I forgot to spread it around. Just like that.

Oh, no, you can't measure a child like that.

Oh, not great. Yeah, we got in a big argument. So...

Oh, of course, probably hard to dial with mittens on.

Oh, okay.

Oh, okay. Great job, little guy. Wish me luck.

Oh, Serge, hot chocolate, double whip cream, and peppermint,

Oh, thanks, that's kind. I haven't come up with much on your brother.

Oh, the sleigh. You've seen it before. You saw it at the mall.

Oh, this is my son. Alex, this is Noelle.

Oh, well, look at you.

Oh, well, maybe I can help.

Oh, well, then my Christmas wish has been granted.

Oh, why didn't you tell me you were into cooking?

Oh, wow.

Oh, yeah. I love yogurt pants.

Oh, you better not pout, you better not cry.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh! Oh!

Oh! Welcome home, Santa.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh. What have you got? It's from Mother.

Oh...

Okay, a letter from Jake and Alex, everybody.

Okay, excuse me, ma'am, may I please borrow your phone?

Okay, he said it to Nick,

Okay, more.

Okay, Nick, I understand.

Okay, now, uh... (EXHALES)

Okay, Snowy. I need all the help I can get.

Okay, that sounds bad, but can you just tell me, have you seen this man?

Okay, we need to figure out what people want for Christmas. Here we go.

Okay, well, now you sound like a crazy person.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. I realize I wasn't seeing things from your point of view.

Okay. Keep working.

Okay. Let's go find my brother.

Okay. Well, I can wait till sunrise.

Okay. Well, we are gonna read it together and we're gonna figure this out.

On a green Christmas tree

On Snowcone!

One with extra whipped cream.

Only at Desert Ridge Marketplace.

Only get two days with him before Christmas, and now I'm late.

Only place left to check are the shelters.

Ooh, fruit pops. There you go.

Ooh!

Ooh!

Ooh.

Or else we're not gonna be ready for Christmas.

Or failed to practice proper dental hygiene.

Or maybe even someone to share the day with.

Or should I say... Elf Polly?

Or that me leaving the Pole was the best thing I could've done for Christmas.

Or the best of both, swirl.

Our ancestors have been the Santas that bring joy to children all over the world.

Our research indicates

Outdated technology.

Over here! Right here! I caught you.

Pancakes bounce, I don't even know what that is, and there's no seasoning.

People are rushing into my Petco trying to find reindeer food.

PEOPLE: Merry Christmas.

Phoenix, Arizona.

Phoenix? That sounds horrible.

Please, approach the council.

Please, I can do it!

Pole weather report, snow and eight degrees.

Polly is our nanny,

Polly! Look who it is.

Presents and caroling.

Princess, do you mind telling me what you're doing?

Princess, for once in your life,

Put some pants on.

Put them on a motorized ice floe with GPS coordinates and...

Quick, get in your...

Really think about this next one. Take your time.

Really. See for yourself.

Refused to eat their vegetables,

Relax.

REPORTER ON TV: There was a disturbing scene

Reports are filing in from all over Phoenix

Right back at you.

Right, I'm gonna skip ahead.

Santa is so excited to meet you guys.

Santa Noelle!

SANTA ROBOT: Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, Merry Christmas!

Santa tried to land again

Santa, I got you a new scarf.

Santa, I thought

SANTA: Come here, my boy!

SANTA: Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!

SANTA: Well, let me check my list.

Santa!

Santa?

SANTA'S HELPERS: Decorations of red

SANTA'S HELPERS: I'll be so blue just thinking about you

SANTA'S HELPERS: I'll have a Blue Christmas without you

Saw your name on the sign.

Say hello to your brother for me.

See this? What do you think it does?

See what I mean? Kringle?

She cheated on every math test she ever took.

She had a Jennie Stalts vibe, I don't know.

She has a new life with her husband and Alex, and I can't go over there.

She said I'd get what I wanted for Christmas, but I never told her.

She says, "Merry Christmas, Santa."

She used to beat me up for fun all the time.

She was weird, right?

She's invited me over for Christmas morning.

She's just having fun, okay? She's fun loving.

She's talkin' about crazy things like the North Pole and elves.

Shelters like igloos?

Shh!

Shouldn't you be calling my big brother "Santa"?

Silent for how long?

Silent night.

Silent... night!

Since we don't get to see each other as much.

Sir, it's a privilege to wear that suit.

Sit with a couple of kids, you'll feel The Twinkle.

Sit.

Six months ago, Dad died,

Slow down! Slow down! No, no, no!

Snowball fights, the Coco. All the fun.

So a slow cooker is out and drum kit is in.

So he's havin' a rough time.

So I don't know if I'm gonna do it right, but...

So I told him that he should take some time off,

So interesting.

So it doesn't matter that I'm finally happy

So jolly. We're all very proud of him.

So keep practicing, okay?

So that I could heat up the cottage and make your breakfast waffles,

So, Alex, are you excited about Christmas?

So, how'd it go with your brother?

So, I see you have some presents...

So, I took the sleigh and the reindeer to bring him back.

So, I took the sleigh and the reindeer to bring him back.

So, I'm gonna say, um...

So, Kringle, I called the police, the hospitals,

So, nice?

So, Nick became Santa and he was feeling overwhelmed,

So, when Polly came to see me about getting you out of here...

So, who knows what will happen when they're faced with temptation?

So, will I see you again?

So, you want me to go out there alone?

Some of the names haven't been filled in yet,

Someday Nick will be Santa.

Someone has to stay and keep an eye on Dasher and company.

Sometimes we would fall asleep, but I'd be dreaming of presents.

Sometimes, I feel like a hyped up camp counselor when he's around.

Sometimes, I... I dream about getting out and finding someplace warm,

Sorry.

Stay right where you are.

Stealing all of your money than to live in a fantasy.

Stockings, sheets, and pillow cases.

Stuffed chimneys!

Supercuts. How do I look?

Sure, Aunt Polly.

Sure, no problem.

Sure. I can do that.

Sweetie, you have nothing to be nervous about.

Thank garland for hot chocolate and peppermint.

Thank you for helping me, you're being so nice.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, but I don't want breakfast.

Thank you, I really appreciate that.

Thank you, Kringle. Uh, I gotta run.

Thank you, Michelle.

Thank you, Polly.

Thank you, Santa.

Thank you, Santa's Helpers.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks for the reminder. I still gotta shop.

Thanks, Dad. This is great.

That he should go somewhere and relax for the weekend.

That is how you grow up strong and healthy.

That might not seem like much, but...

That must be the elves to welcome you home!

That she lives in the North Pole?

That there are only 2,837 nice children in the world.

That was fun, right? Merry Christmas.

That was over the line, um...

That's a problem, Nick. Come on.

That's a... stocking full of coal if ever I've seen one. (LAUGHS)

That's amazing! Oh, Alex would love that so much.

That's cold. Come on, honey.

That's fine.

That's if they even have a heart in the first place.

That's jolly! Okay! Now get in there.

That's only for Santa's immediate family, not cousins.

That's pretty stocking half empty.

That's real gold on the outside. And chocolate in the middle.

That's so interesting.

That's unusual.

That's what you think. Oh, my garland. This is delicious.

That's who I'm looking for. Where did he go?

That's why I came home, you know.

That's why I named him that. It's a very rare breed.

The bacon is burnt on the outside, and raw in the middle.

The Book of Santa. I've read it. I've memorized it.

The eggs are rubbery,

The minute I saw you with those kids, I knew.

The morgue, the bureau of records, nothing.

The new ones are scary.

The North Pole, and my dad is Santa Claus,

The North Pole.

The presents of love and understanding.

The question is, what really makes a Santa?

The reindeer? They have ticks.

The Santa that they hired isn't here yet.

The tradition's just the wrapping.

The yoga pants.

There you go.

There you go. That looks jolly, Nick.

There're more than 2,837 nice children.

There's something wrong with that.

There's things going on at home that... only Santa can fix.

These are high intensity infrared Santa goggles

These are real concerns, statistically speaking,

These'll just get sent back if you don't fix that. Okay, thank you, bye.

They love birdseed.

They seem to really be enjoying the churros.

They're elder elves.

They're holding her for psychiatric evaluation.

They're used to a strict regimen of North Pole hay and training.

They're very creative. I admire your shakti.

This costume is ridiculous.

This could be the perfect time to start an online delivery platform.

This is going to be our best Christmas yet.

This is in your blood. It's in your stars.

This is Kali from Brooklyn.

This is my aunt, Polly. She plays an elf in the show.

This is the first holiday since the divorce.

This is the list. It's filled with names. Some are nice and some are naughty.

This isn't the first time someone's tried this kind of promotional stunt.

This release form protects Desert Ridge Marketplace

This says Santy Claus.

This toy is messy.

Three.

To make you feel comfortable in your own boots.

Tonya Cooperman. And have you been a good girl?

Tonya, Jennie is your best friend.

Tonya. Tonya Cooperman.

Totally get it.

Traditions change. Right?

Try cleaning up your own mess.

Try it on.

Try me, come on.

Turn this thing around.

Two words? Two words.

Two words. First word, me.

Ugh. Glitter all over the floor.

Uh, do you have any ice in this town?

Uh, hi, thank you, yes, I... My name is Helen Rojas,

Uh, I've gotta go away.

Uh, yes, Dan. I'm dealing with it...

Uh, you cannot perform or solicit here on these grounds without a permit.

Uh, you could buy some churros, cut them into little pieces

Uh...

Uh... Nice.

Ultimately, the one thing all Santas share is the ability to inspire us

Um, checking it twice.

Um, I was helping Santa train,

Um, she would take us to bed.

Um, son, why don't we go check the reindeer?

Um, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, well... (GIGGLES)

Um...

Um...

Um...

Um...

Um...

Under your tongue. All right. There you go. Ooh!

Until sunrise.

Using his internet activity, school records,

Usually, it takes people years of yoga to get that kind of awareness.

Very good, Cindy. Pete?

Very impressive. Have we come up with anything to deal with big, mean dogs?

Wait, so you believe what I told you?

Wait, tomorrow is Christmas Eve, though.

Wait. Someone's missing.

Wait. What about a rescue mission?

Warm weather, swimming pools, sun kissed mountains.

Was it your idea to bring that sleigh and reindeer in here?

Was just lookin' at your case.

We all expected you to take the reins and that's not fair.

We are looking for Santa Claus.

We can work with that, right?

We could lose the sleigh or the reindeer. Then there'd be no Christmas.

We don't have any, so I just relabeled the birdseed.

We don't have customers.

We have children who need the magic of a Santa coming down the chimney

We have this list of nice people from Hong Kong to Houston

We heard about these amazing reindeer at the mall.

We just need to do a reboot or maybe get an appointment at the Genius bar.

We know it's been a whirlwind preparation since your father,

We opened the first yoga studio in the Pole.

We tried to keep my dad out of the kitchen,

We wish you a merry Christmas We...

We're all booked up. Maybe try back in... July.

We're *******.

We're looking for a Nick Kringle.

We're now standardizing all packages in green, red,

Weird, you can tell me about it in the sleigh.

Well, actually, I'm pretty informal when I'm alone.

Well, guess who came to town!

Well, he's Santa to you, he's Santa to everyone.

Well, I am Santa's daughter, so...

Well, I do have somewhere I need to be for Christmas.

Well, I do love sushi.

Well, if that's the only problem.

Well, it's not like him to just leave.

Well, my father ran a business,

Well, no one's ever expected anything of you, Noelle.

Well, that's ridiculous.

Well, the sleigh came back, and all the reindeer are here,

Well, then, how did she know?

Well, what do you want to do?

Well, yes, I know these reindeer.

Well, you know.

What a jolly card.

What a shock.

What about a cheese grater for Alex. Or a George Foreman Grill?

What are you doing here?

What did I do wrong?

What do I do?

What do you smell, boy? Was Santa here?

What do you want for Christmas?

What do you want from me?

What does Christmas mean to you?

What happened? Mother!

What if an asteroid crashes into the sleigh?

What if not having the sleigh or the reindeer is a blessing in disguise?

What kind of world is this? This is awful.

What would you like? Bath Bar, Cinnabon, Chrysler Pacifica?

What?

What? What?

What'd you get, Nick?

What're you doing? You know Santa has to fly solo on Christmas Eve.

What's so crazy about elves?

What's with all these magazines?

Whatever you wanna do.

When are we gonna see Noelle and Polly again?

When I was a little girl,

When someone's sad or just lonely,

When the flowers, yeah, when...

Where I can stretch and relax and just breathe, you know?

Where were we? Um, arrested.

Which allow you to detect any lasers between you and a tree.

Which allows us to determine a child's Nice or Naughty quotient.

Which is why each naughty child will be receiving an evaluation notice

Which is why I know that we have a real Santa right here in the Pole.

Which isn't illegal where I'm from. Because we don't have policeman.

Which still makes it my best Christmas in a long time.

While I picked up all the dirty clothes, but none of that's really been a problem.

While you've been... What? Cutting ribbon,

Who are these people?

Who doesn't even believe in Christmas, but made sure we could be home for it.

Who just thinks about herself and writes her silly cards all day, you know?

Who knows what terrible things have happened to them?

Who worked so hard to fill Christmas with fun and music,

Whoa!

Whoa! Rover!

Why did you write this to me, Santa?

Why do you think you're here today, Noelle?

Why don't we all just give Santa a moment.

Why don't you just eat the whole gavel, Elder Elf Abe?

Why? You're gonna get it for me?

Will do. Merry Christmas.

With a job listing at a school for the deaf.

With the Christmas spirit.

Woke up the next morning, they found a present under the tree

WOMAN 1: There's only two days till Christmas.

WOMAN 2: Seven days and counting.

WOMAN ON PA: Come see and play with Santa's reindeer,

WOMAN: A Nick Kringle?

WOMAN: Come on. It's a Secret Santa party.

WOMAN: Did he say "Noelle?"

WOMAN: Good morning, welcome to Phoenix shelter.

WOMAN: Let's go over there.

WOMAN: Look at the reindeer!

WOMAN: Oh, yeah, that's true.

WOMAN: Please make a donation.

WOMAN: See?

Won't be the same, dear

Worrying about someone else's Christmas and not your own.

Worst thing anyone's ever said to me. You, gather the reindeer.

Would you like a candy cane?

Wow! That's a big deal in here.

Wow. Some real nuts out there.

Wow. Um, it's, uh...

Yeah, but that's because Gabe showed me

Yeah, but, um, Santa understands all languages.

Yeah, I agree.

Yeah, I didn't write that.

Yeah, it's... Oh, okay.

Yeah, like People? That's how I found out Jennifer Aniston's nice.

Yeah, sunblock. No, I love sunblock.

Yeah, the heat here, right?

Yeah, well, I'm a private detective.

Yeah, well, it's definitely a day of the year.

Yeah? What do you smell? Where'd he go? Did he go this way?

Yeah. (CHUCKLES) Travel And Leisure had those sections

Yeah. Aren't you supposed to bring Alex a Christmas present or something?

Yeah. Big day for nice.

Yeah. But if you use Christmas to open up and talk about it...

Yeah. He saved a kitten from a tree,

Yeah. It's his Christmas wish to go to that Chinese restaurant

Yeah. They're yoga pants. Like yours.

Yeah. Well, it's still Christmas, you know?

Yes, I know. I'm going to get him.

Yes, thank you. Mmm hmm.

Yes, who's my hyperactive little reindeer? You are! Oh! You got it.

Yes?

Yes. And these are my yogurt pants.

Yo! Snowcone! Dude!

You are not even a real Santa. I need you to show some respect.

You can do this.

You can make the pan hotter before you put the meat in.

You can't be Santa if you're having a nervous breakdown.

You did it, Noelle. Polly!

You did.

You didn't think about how he listens to you,

You do, Noelle.

You don't like my female energy?

You found me, so I know you can find Santa, okay?

You get "stocking half empty" pretty quick.

You got this. Come on up.

You guys always go to on Christmas day, Sun Ming,

You have people without homes and food, and I'm so hot. God!

You haven't seen it hovering 11 stories up, that's the only difference.

You know how hard this has been?

You know how it works. It fits you when you fit it.

You know I'm nice.

You know it's Santa Claus. I...

You know what I'm really scared of? Some kid's gonna wake up, look at me,

You know what you need to do? You need to get Alex the perfect Christmas present.

You know what? Maybe it'll be fine. Maybe Gabe will be a great Santa.

You know, but you made him happy. And you made me...

You know, Mr. Ortega, I think it's better you know the truth about your brother

You know, the thing is,

You know? I wanted to prove I'm not some spoiled princess

You know? Straight from the workshop.

You look very Dasher junior. We gotta find Santa.

You make everyone jolly with your cards and your Christmas cheer,

You mean, be Santa?

You might finally get to take that trip to Hawaii.

You might wanna spread it around.

You need to do your job and give your brother some Christmas spirit,

You need to look in that magazine, pick a place, get away for the weekend.

You okay?

You put Christmas in jeopardy, young lady.

You remember those magazines Dad used to bring me on Christmas?

You said Nick wanted to breathe, stretch and relax? I did some googling,

You said, you, you said, "Go! Take some time."

You see, it's kind of a vicious circle.

You should get that looked at.

You smell something? What do you smell?

You still need to shop? Well, you know, I can get you whatever you want.

You think I look like this all the time?

You want a My Little Pony Explore Equestria Crystal Empire Castle playset?

You were always bad at charades. This will take forever.

You were so great with Alex, I wanted to give you this.

You would starve and die if it weren't for me.

You'll be...

You'll probably get a raise.

You're a coward who's too afraid to be Santa Claus!

You're almost in. Look how good you're doing!

You're facing the wrong way.

You're full of surprises. Mmm.

You're my guy, right?

You're not a total loser. You're a nice person.

You're ready.

You're right. He's not gonna get it for you.

You're right. I'm sorry.

You're so brave. You must have picked up my scent from all the people in Phoenix.

You're supposed to put in on your face. Haven't you ever used sunblock before?

You're under a lot of pressure and I know what it's like to be a Kringle,

Young Evelyn Ramirez received one because she bites her fingernails.

Your mother will not be jolly with this, and it is my job to keep you safe.

Your stop, I believe.

...and I'll drive you up there. Um, sir...

(BLEATING) (GASPS) What do we think?

(BLEATING) Okay.

(SCREAMS) STUDENTS: Ow!

(SNOWCONE BLEATING) I'm so sorry.

(WOMAN GASPS) Oh! Snowcone!

After Cousin Nick crashed, the... NOELLE: Oh!

And a... A hand comes in. (WHISTLING)

And an iPad. An iPad. I got that.

And the sleigh? Mmm hmm.

BOY 1: I got one too. BOY 2: I got one too.

but what... You have The Twinkle, Ellie.

Bye, Matt. MATT: Bye.

Can I ask you a few questions? I'm all earmuffs. Fire away.

Can I get some fruit pops? Sure.

Can I have $150 a day, please? (CHOKES)

Come on, Alex. That's ridiculous. Dad, it's true!

Come on, Snowy. I'll race you. (BLEATS)

Come on. Yoga voice.

Dad! (LAUGHING)

Did you steal this stuff? Of course not. Stealing's naughty.

Did you study it in school? No, I majored in calligraphy,

Do we break for lunch now or is that... No!

Do you have a picture of this brother? Yes. His name is Nick Kringle.

ELDER ELF ABE: Quiet! (MURMURING)

ELDER ELF ABE: Quiet. MAN 5: Where is he?

ELF POLLY: Noelle! Mmm.

ELVES: Gabriel? Me?

Excuse me? Or...

Football tickets. iPad.

GIRL 1: I got one. BOY 3: I got one too.

GIRL: I hope it's okay. MAN 4: What happened to him?

Go. Okay.

Good morning. Good morning. (CHUCKLES)

Guaca what? Gua... Guacamole?

GUARD: You're coming with me. Oh, sorry!

He's a great kid, isn't he? Yeah. Oh, steak knives.

He's a white Polar Poodle. (BLEATS)

He's nice? Yeah.

He's the real Santa. GUARD: Let's discuss this over here.

HELEN: Santa? Yeah.

Helen. (GIGGLING) Yes.

Hello! Let's not make a meal out of this.

Here, I have a... Oh!

Hey, Helen. Oh, yes.

Hey, Noelle. What are you guys doing here?

Hey! You... (GUARD SCREAMS)

Hi. Hi!

Hi. Hi.

His name's Ajeet. He's from India. Wait, how do you know that?

I can't, Ellie. Nick Kringle,

I don't know... You're gonna be great.

I don't think I still believe in Santa. Santa's real.

I don't think so. What if the reindeer have Lyme disease?

I found your brother. What?

I hate you. No! I am done talking with you about...

I was only... (GRUNTS)

I was talking 'cause you were talking. See! You can't do it.

I'd rather go to work with you, Dad. Me too!

I'll be quiet as a mouse. You've never been quiet. Get outta here.

I'm gonna drop Alex at my sister's... Okay.

I'm quiet all the time. One, two, three, be quiet.

in Phoenix, Arizona. Okay.

including Mother. Well, dear, that was, um...

iPad? Polly!

Is that the new Madden? I don't know, maybe.

Is this too much for you? Relax.

It doesn't work that way. It's Christmas.

It helps if you put salt on it. No one has that much salt, Dad.

It'll be great. NICK: There's a lot of them.

Jake, you don't understand, see... My phone died. Can I borrow yours?

Just go! Yeah.

Just stay still. Worse than getting hit with a slush ball.

Keep it coming. Thanks, Santa.

Let's just go. No.

MALL SANTA: I belong in that chair. NOELLE: Excuse me. You sit down.

MALL SANTA: I'm certified. Sorry.

MAN 1: She did. WOMAN 2: That's so naughty.

Matt Bautista. I'm actually a Buddhist. Oh, jolly!

Merry Christmas, Dad. (SANTA CHUCKLES)

Merry Christmas, Polly. Dad?

Merry Christmas, Santa. GIRL: Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas! Dad!

Mom's been beside herself. Yoga voice. Stop. Wait. Ellie, I'm sorry.

MRS. CLAUS: Under. Under. NICK: Ah! Okay.

My what? Your female energy.

Never mind. (GIGGLING) Okay. Bye.

New guitar? iPad.

Nick Kringle? Mmm hmm.

Nick, he's here. Stop.

NICK: Hold your reindeer. Yeah.

NICK: I'll give you a free yoga class. Uh...

NICK: Leave her alone. This is unnecessary.

NICK: Noelle! NOELLE: Nick, stay where you are.

NICK: Sorry! These kids need to meet the real Santa.

Nick. Hey! Hey.

No! Talk at sunrise. Yeah.

No. Come on, come on, come on.

Noelle took the reindeer? Mmm hmm.

NOELLE: Puffins, scatter! (ALL SQUAWK)

Oh, boy. NICK: Okay.

Oh, by the way... You scared me so much. Shh!

Oh, ho, ho! Yeah!

Oh, I'm so sorry. Thank you, thank you.

Oh, it's nice to meet you. Yes.

Oh, thanks. It's okay.

Oh, what's this? HELEN: Uh, guacamole?

Oh! JAKE: Kringle!

Oh. (LOUDLY) That's... She's deaf.

Okay, let's say I'm in Germany. Yeah.

Okay. See what I mean?

Okay. I think I want... Hey, Kringle.

On Snowcone! (SNOWCONE BLEATING)

Polly. You do not know how to fly this sleigh.
