Prep & Landing Page #2

---

Oh, we're definitely

behind schedule now!

Then we better get going.

But... but doesn't

section code 808 state:

"All children shall

be snug in their beds"?

So you were having a

jolly holiday downstairs.

Oh, yeah. Fa la la la la!

What's wrong?

Don't you even care?

I've been working Prep

& Landing for 227 years,

and believe me,

the thrill is gone.

But this the most tinsel job ever.

I mean, bringing joy to children?

Sorry.

-Look, Tree Skirt.

We are just tiny ornaments

on some gigantic tree...

slaving away... all for what?

"For what"? For him.

Just look at this face, Wayne. Imagine

the joy on this face tomorrow morning.

Imagine all the great

memories he'll pass

onto his children, and

his children's children.

The thrill may be

gone for you, Wayne,

but it's not gone for him.

You'll learn, rookie.

I thought you were "the"

Prep & Landing guy, Wayne...

but you're just

a lump of coal.

Yeah, well... sometimes

we don't get what we want.

Yes, dear?

-Wayne, it's Magee.

I'm sure you've noticed,

the snowstorm is pretty bad.

Oh, well I have now.

I mean, uh, oh...

What do you mean?

You-you-you-you're not

on the roof? You're...

you're not done?

Oh, okay. Fine. We have

a coal in the stocking.

What?

-We're putting him to bed.

Relax.

-I told you to pull it together,

not crumble like

a Christmas cookie!

If you have...

-8 maids a-milking, this is Jingle Bell.

Come in, 8 maids a-milking.

I really hate that call sign.

-Can barely hear you, Jingle Bell.

We are in the soup here.

-We're flying blind, man!

Tell her we're flying blind!

Why didn't I

listen to Jerry...

and stay in toy design?

Tiny, bring me Big Red.

It's just a little snow,

Magee. I can handle it.

You don't understand, sir.

The site's not prepped.

We have no choice...

Figgy Pudding.

It's never come to

that. What about Timmy?

Sir, with all due respect,

there are millions of other kids

counting on you. It's just not safe.

We'll make it up to

Timmy somehow, I promise.

All right then.

You heard her team.

Figgy p-pudding?

B-b-b-but that means the

big guy's passing us by.

What about Timmy? What

about his Christmas?

Well, I, uh,

never meant for...

this to happen.

This will be the

best Christmas ever.

Thanks, Wayne.

Magee, patch me through to the big guy.

-Wayne, it's over.

Patch me through or I'll tell

everyone about you and Tiny!

Patching you through.

-Hello? This is Partridge.

Sir, my name's Wayne

from Prep & Landing.

I need you to come

to this house, sir.

Oh, I'm afraid Magee's

rerouting me, son.

Sir, there's a child here

that's really excited for you.

We cannot let him down.

I can land you safely.

I have a plan,
