The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause Page #3

On top of that, I've got to protect the

secret of Santa because the in-laws...

Mr and Mrs In-Bad-Mood-Every-Time-

l-Turn-Around are coming.

Not supposed to,

gotta come up with a solution.

On top of that, I'm worried

about being a father again

because I wasn't all that good at it

the first time.

Oh, Santa.

We had no idea.

Oh, Santa, I'm sorry.

If it were me in the red suit, I'd

probably go right to the Escape Clause.

Oh, no, the Escape Clause.

Way too extreme. Really.

Escape Clause?

What's up with that?

Maybe if you'd attend a meeting

once in a while you'd know.

You can manipulate time

but can't grow hair.

Legendary?

I don't think so.

I am not evoking the Escape Clause.

I made a commitment.

I'll handle the toys

and be there when

my wife delivers that baby.

- Let me help.

- You've done quite enough.

No, no, no.

Instead of a suspension,

- how about community service?

- Please.

What if... what if I...

What if I tutor myself

at the elbow of the master?

Huh? I could lend a hand.

Make some toys, wrap a few presents.

And if I don't make it with the hefty

man, he says the word you suspend me.

Please, Santa.

I know I don't deserve another chance,

but I am asking you for one.

I want to make things right.

All right.

You don't want to get suspended?

I'll give you one more chance.

But you have to be a

Jack-Frost-of-all-trades.

- You have to listen to the elves.

- Uh-huh.

Curtis is your boss.

And I mean it.

If there's one,

one icicle out of place,

- you are gone.

- I will not let you down.

Motion carried.

Ho ho ho!

Boys, boys, save it

for the stables, will you?

Look there. They got a new roof.

Easy, easy!

Uncle Scott is here!

Lucy! Coat!

Comet!

Next time we fly, go easy

on the alfalfa, will you?

- Uncle Scott.

- Hey, Luce. There we are.

- There it is.

- All warm?

Just like magic.

You have the warmest hug in the world.

- Hello.

- Hi, Comet!

- Hey, son.

- Hi, Dad.

I missed you so much. Hi.

A few days early, aren't you?

Isn't that baby due any moment?

Oh, we got lots

to talk about. Hey, Neil.

That's a...

That's a good-looking sweater vest.

- It's reversible.

- Of course it is.

- Let's go inside.

- Lucy, come on.

Look at that,

it's snowing in Hawaii.

Yeah. It's not really magical

like the one Charlie has,

but I love it.

And now I have 12. See?

You know, I have

quite the snow globe collection myself.

- How's Danielle doing?

- Good.

Thanks for letting me

go snowboarding with her.

You're welcome.

Hey, I brought you something.

Just a little thing.

Oh, boy.

What a mess in here.

There we are.

Wedged behind a wheelbarrow.

Dad! That's awesome!

- Thank goodness it wasn't a car.
