Beethoven's Christmas Adventure Page #3

---

where they play pranks on stupid...

No, no! You're not on any show, Beethoven.

All right?

Just tell me something

about Mason, will you?

Okay, okay.

l've only been talking to people for about 30 seconds,

so sorry if l'm

a little distracted!

By the way, you wouldn't

happen to have any

sugar cookies

on you, would you?

Beethoven!

Sorry, sorry.

Okay, something about Mason.

Hmm.

l don't know too much about him,

but here goes.

(BARKlNG)

That's a little exploitive.

Okay. What did he say?

(SCOFFS) Only that you were selling

his picture without his permission

andlor giving him a cut!

(BEETHOVEN GROWLlNG)

Yeah, he usually gets 25 %

of all ancillary income.

Paid in bones, of course.

So, you're telling me

there really is

a Santa Claus?

Uh, duh.

Not just some dopes who act out

a fantasy for little kids every year?

That's right.

And you're a bonafide

Christmas elf?

Not just some whacko who just got out of the nuthouse.

Tell you what,

just call me Henry.

This is surreal.

His jacket totally clashes with his knickers.

Totally!

Come on,

you got to let me try it. No!

No, l am sorry, man.

That's one thing Santa is very clear on.

Christmas magic is not to be used

outside any non-North Pole employee.

Something to do with,

like, liability

or insurance,

something like that.

Look, forget that.

We have bigger problems, all right?

lf l don't find Santa's toy bag

before 12:
00 on Christmas Eve,

then he won't have enough time to deliver

the presents on Christmas morning!

And then l'll get

stripped of my bells.

Trust me,

that's a really bad thing up on the North Pole.

(EXHALES) Midnight,

Christmas Eve, right?

That gives us just over 48 hours.

(BEETHOVEN BARKS)

That should be

plenty of time.

l hope so.

l would hate to see

what would happen

if that bag ended up

in the wrong hands!

Honey, they have

Red Rover.

l can't believe it.

All the other stores are sold out!

Wait a second.

ls this right? $99.99?

Why, yes! l just

priced it myself.

We thought it was

supposed to be more

in the price-range

of 20 bucks.

Pro-model, 25 extra sounds.

Sings with his very own online app-store.

lt's the only thing Charlie asked for this year.

(SlGHS)

Pro-model,

highway robbery!

Keep the penny.

Suckers!

(LAUGHlNG)

They couldn't

find it anywhere else

because we stole it from everywhere else!

Right, boss?

Ow!

Shut up!

This is our best scheme yet and l'm

not going to let your loose lips sink it.

And what the heck

are you wearing?

lt's an elf costume.

Like they wear at the North Pole.

l know it's an elf costume, half-wit.

What l want to know is why are you wearing it?

l thought it would

help with business.
