Miracle On 34th Street Page #2

- Hello, dear.

A cup of coffee?

You must be half frozen.

- Oh, don't bother.

- It's all ready.

In that case, thanks.

What do you think of my parade?

It's much better

than last year's.

Well, I hope

Mr. Macy agrees with you.

Sugar? Cream?

Both? Neither?

Just one sugar, please.

This is very kind of you,

Mr. Gailey.

Sit down.

I want to thank you

for being so kind to Susan.

Cleo tells me you took them

to the zoo yesterday.

That's right,

but I must confess.

It's part of a deep-dyed plot.

I'm fond of Suzie, very fond,

but I also wanted to meet you.

I read someplace the surest way

to meet the mother...

is to be kind to the child.

What a horrible trick.

It worked.

There goes Santa Claus.

Oh, don't even

mention the name.

He's much better

than last year's.

At least this one

doesn't wear glasses.

This one was

a last-minute substitute.

The one I hired I fired.

Why?

You remember

the janitor last New Year's?

Ohh, yes.

Well,

this one was much worse.

Oh.

I see she doesn't

believe in Santa Claus, either.

No Santa Claus,

no fairy tales...

no fantasies of any kind,

is that it?

That's right.

We should be realistic...

and completely truthful

with our children...

and not have them growing up

believing in...

a lot of legends and myths

like Santa Claus, for example.

I see.

That's the end.

The acrobats were good.

They ought to be

at those prices.

Thanks for the coffee.

And thank you

for inviting me in.

It was a pleasure, missy.

Mother, I was thinking...

we've got such

a big turkey for dinner...

and there are only two of us.

Couldn't we invite Mr. Gailey?

Oh, don't even

think about it.

I'll have a sandwich

or something.

It's an awful big turkey.

That's not it, dear...

but I'm sure Mr. Gailey

has other plans.

No, he hasn't. Have you?

To be quite honest

and truthful with the child...

I must admit

I haven't any other plans.

Please, Mother!

Did I ask all right?

Hmm?

Didn't I ask all right,

Mr. Gailey?

That all depends.

Dinner's at 3:
00.

Thanks.

Suzie, honey,

you asked just right.

I'll see you at 3:00.

- It worked.

- Yes.

I tell you,

Mrs. Walker, he's stupendous.

Everybody's crazy about him.

So is Mr. Macy.

Well, hire him,

by all means.

It's perfectly

all right with me.

It'll save me a frantic search

in the morning.

Yes. That's right.

I'll take care of it as soon

as he gets through.

You'll love him.

I just know that

with that man on the throne...

my department will sell

more toys than it ever has.

He's a born salesman.

I just feel it.

Yes, yes, yes.

We'll talk about it

in the morning. Good-bye.

Good-bye.

And you'll find toys

of all kinds at Macy's.
