No. But they really are elves. No. But they really are elves. Whatever, honey. Which one is your favourite reindeer Which one is your favourite reindeer Comet. Ah, I don't have a favourite. Let me get this straight, Santa. When I grow up, if I want to be Santa Claus,... I just push you off a roof? Laura he said that. He said it was the best Christmas he ever had. > Laura he said that. He said it was the best Christmas he ever had. > Oh, big surprise. > You're supposed to hear it from him? Is that a problem with you? You're supposed to hear it from him? Is that a problem with you? All right. So? May I speak, please? I am a doctor. No he's not. He's a psychiatrist. No he's not. He's a psychiatrist. Please. Go ahead, Dr Miller. Guess we know who's the teacher's pet Guess we know who's the teacher's pet Scott. Oh, grow up. This is far more serious than a boy believing or not believing in Santa Claus. Charlie thinks that this whole thing actually happened. What was the last thing you and Charlie did before you went to bed, Christmas Eve? We shared a bowl of sugar with some shots of brown liquor. Played with my shotguns, field dressed a cat, looked for women. I read him a book. I read him a book. What book? I read him a book. What book? Hollywood Wives. The Night Before Christmas, folks. Come on. And did you go to the North Pole? This is ridiculous. I don't have time for this. This is ridiculous. I don't have time for this. Ridiculous or not, Scott,... < for Charlie this isn't some dream, it is real. You need to sit down with Charlie and explain to him, you are not Santa Claus. They're the bears in the North Pole. Charlie, we did not go to the North Pole. That was a dream. > Charlie, we did not go to the North Pole. That was a dream. > You're in denial, Dad. > Denial. You don't even know what that means. Denial. You don't even know what that means. Well, you are. I know what happened. I know what happened. How do you know that? How? You don't have any proof. You don't have any proof. Proof? Why can't we both think of it as a great dream and forget about it? Why can't we both think of it as a great dream and forget about it? What about this? Remember all the neat stuff inside? Remember all the neat stuff inside? Charlie, this is a toy. We used to make things like this at work, but no one bought them. I don't want to talk about this any more. I know who you are, Dad. < You'll figure it out soon enough. There are a lot of kids who believe in you, you can't let them down. Charlie, you're wrong. What's so funny? What's so funny? Nothing. < (SINGS) Come on, Dancer. Come on, Prancer. Whoa! < We can't stop. (SQUEAKY VOICE) But I need to go to the bathroom. I told you, you should have gone before we left the North Pole. Where is he? He's in his room jumping on his bed wearing a red hat and galoshes. He's in his room jumping on his bed wearing a red hat and galoshes. I don't care what Neil's doing. Where's Charlie? Well, if you can't be father of the year, why not be Father Christmas? < Charlie, it's just not logical. How can one man, in one night, visit all the children of the world? Not everyone celebrates Christmas. There's a time continuum that breaks down once Santa's in his sleigh. What about fireplaces? A lot of people don't have them. How does Santa visit those people? He turns into jello and slooosh. A fireplace appears and he goes through it like this. What about the reindeer? Have you ever seen a reindeer fly? Have you ever seen a reindeer fly? Yes. Have you ever seen a reindeer fly? Yes. Well, I haven't. Have you ever seen a million dollars? Have you ever seen a million dollars? No. Just because you haven't seen it, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. Just because you haven't seen it, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. Hi, Neil. Howdy, sport. Howdy, sport. Hi, Dad. Want to take a walk? I want to talk to you. Want to take a walk? I want to talk to you. Sure. I'll get my coat. < Scott? Can I have a minute? Can I have a minute? Sure. I think Charlie is conflicted at the moment. I think Charlie is conflicted at the moment. Wow. Really? I appreciate your analysis. Boy! You've got more important things to worry about. Like where you're going to get more sweaters once the circus leaves town. Like where you're going to get more sweaters once the circus leaves town. Scott. You're not listening. We are very concerned about this. You're not listening. We are very concerned about this. Concerned about WHAT? If Charlie's spending time with you is the best thing for him. You were right about the sweater, OK Next time, will I be big enough to drive the sleigh all by myself? Next time, will I be big enough to drive the sleigh all by myself? No. But I've been practising. No, that's not what I'm talking about. We've got to talk about this Santa Claus thing. Charlie, there is no- No what, Dad? There's no reason why we have to tell anybody about the North Pole. There's no reason why we have to tell anybody about the North Pole. Why not? Sometimes, some things, big things, should remain unsaid,... like between two people- You mean like a secret? You mean like a secret? Yes. Like a secret. Let's keep it a secret. Like a secret. Let's keep it a secret. How come? Because of Mom and Neil. Not just because of them. There's school. Everybody thinks... It's not important what they think. How does five bucks sound to you? This is something I really want you to do for me, sport. I want to keep this secret. Will you do that? Please? I want to keep this secret. Will you do that? Please? OK, Dad. All right. Don't have to worry about the Santa Claus thing any more. When do I get the five bucks? . RADIO: It's going to be a beautiful day. Spend the day at the beach. (FARTS LOUDLY) AH!! Huh? Oh! Something's wrong with the mirror. What? Something's wrong with the scale. Arrrrgh! Excuse me, excuse me. I'll have a field green salad and a... Oh my God. < Calvin? Sorry...um...the dry-cleaner in my neighbourhood went up in smoke. Some big chemical fire. All my clothes...poof...gone. God. Your weight. What happened? Bee sting. Evidently, I'm allergic. Almost killed me. But the guy at the emergency room says the swelling will go down. I hope. So, did I miss anything? No, we were just about to order lunch. No, we were just about to order lunch. Great! I'm starving. I'll have a salad and iced tea. And dressing on the side. Pasta and tomatoes. Very light on the oil. Can you do that? Pasta and tomatoes. Very light on the oil. Can you do that? And I'll have a Caesar, no dressing. And home-made cookies. Warm chocolate chip, no nuts. A little slice of cheesecake,... and a hot fudge sundae. Extra hot fudge. On the side. Anything to drink? Ice cold milk. Stung by a bee, Scott? A big bee. Finished? OK. Now remember this is just a storyboard, but here is our preliminary Total Tank TV spot. OK. Now we have Santa. He's up in the North Pole, he's getting ready for... Christmas! Oh no. Problem? Problem? It's just a little thing. The elves. What about the elves? What about the elves? They look so funny. They're supposed to look funny. They're elves. Just my opinion. Can't they look a little younger? With silver specks on their cheeks. Can we continue here? OK. This year, Santa's not going out on a sleigh, this time he's going... Total Tank! Total Tank! Wait a minute! No way! Santa is not going anywhere without his sleigh. He would if he was trying to sell the Total Tank. He would if he was trying to sell the Total Tank. Well, isn't that a pretty picture? Santa rolling down the block in a panzer. Kids, I hope you're been good this year cos it looks like Santa's just took out the Pearson home. And another thing, what about the reindeer? Reindeer and Santa. Santa and reindeer. It's kind of a package deal Reindeer and Santa. Santa and reindeer. It's kind of a package deal Calvin. You don't believe in Santa, do you? You don't believe in Santa, do you? Calvin, can we get back to the presentation? No. Since we've opened this box, have any of you tried to build the Total Tank? When assembled, it breaks 10 minutes later. Then you've got to buy new parts. I thought that was the whole point. I thought that was the whole point. No, no, no. All we got to do is develop a basic, simple, inexpensive toy that will nurture a child's creative thinking. Calvin. Calvin. Try the brown one. Can I see you outside? I don't know what's happening to you. You're starting to look like the Pillsbury Doughboy. You're falling apart. You're falling apart. I know. I don't know what came over me. I don't know what came over me. Well, just get some help, you know. You should see a doctor, or a shrink, a dietician, or something. Just get some help. (HUFFS AND PUFFS) Thanks, Scott. Time is up. Let's get over here and check your pulse. Let's get over here and check your pulse. All right. OK. Oh. Well, nuts. No, your pulse is great. I don't know, Scott. You're healthy as a horse. I don't know, Scott. You're healthy as a horse. Yeah... Clydesdale. Clydesdale. So you put on a little weight. Does this look like a little weight? Does this look like a little weight? Weight can fluctuate from year to year. You make it sound like I'm retaining water. I've gained 45lb in a week! Pete, what's happening to me? Pete, what's happening to me? What's your diet like? Pete, what's happening to me? What's your diet like? Milk and cookies. Really? Really? I don't finish all the milk. There's your problem. Just cut back on the sweets, OK? Anything else? Yeah, how fast does facial hair grow? What? I shave in the morning and in the afternoon I look like this. I shave in the morning and in the afternoon I look like this. That could be a hormonal imbalance. That would explain the mood swings. That would explain the mood swings. Mood swings? My hair's turning grey. My hair's turning grey. It's middle age, buddy. It happens. With that body, you should be thankful you have hair. If it bothers you, you can dye it and you should diet! Just kidding. OK, let's listen to the old ticker. (LAUGHS) Whoa. OK. OK. Oh, it's cold. LOUD HEARTBEAT HEARTBEAT PLAYS JINGLE BELLS CONTINUES PLAYING JINGLE BELLS JINGLE BELLS PLAYS What? I want some ballet slippers. < Hi, Mom! Oh my God. Hold on a minute.

Scott, you're taking this Santa thing to an unhealthy level. Here's my card. Call me. Scott, this is beginning to scare me I never in my wildest, well, maybe my wildest, but not in my normal dreams... But this is Scott- Laura, your point.

What was so bad about Charlie believing in Santa? What was so bad about Charlie believing in Santa? He's a little old. Laura, don't you remember when you stopped believing in Santa Claus? Laura, don't you remember when you stopped believing in Santa Claus? I was Charlie's age, I guess. I wrote Santa a letter every week that year. Well, OK, maybe... maybe not every week but... I really wanted a Mystery Date game. Do you remember those? Of course you don't. No one does. I don't think they make them any more. Anyway,... Christmas morning came and.. I got dozens of presents. I got everything... except... Mystery Date. I was three and it was an Oscar Meyer Weenie Whistle. Christmas came. No Weenie Whistle. That's when I stopped believing. That's when I stopped believing. You were three? Yeah. Oh, Neil. Where's Charlie? I want to talk to him. Where's Charlie? I want to talk to him. He's with the judge. Dad! It's all OK. I told the judge everything. About you and the North Pole. After reviewing your testimonies, I've come to a very difficult decision. I'm sorry to do this in light of the holiday season but... in the child's best interest, I'm granting the petition of Dr and Mrs Miller. Mr Calvin, as of today, all of your visitation rights are suspended pending a hearing after January 1st. SAD MUSIC PLAYS (SIGHS) DOORBELL CHIMES Hey, Neil. Hey, Neil.
