Bad Santa Page #4

Synopsis: Willie T. Stokes is a convicted con man who's led a miserable life. He drinks heavily and constantly embarrasses himself publicly. He only works once a year dressed as Santa. But then come Christmas Eve, he and his pint-sized helper dwarf Marcus stage elaborate robberies and take their department stores for everything they got. This year, they hit a mall in suburban Phoenix, Arizona. This time around, Willie gets distracted by having sex with large women, a bartender who is attracted to Santas, and a kid who's convinced he's the real deal. However, this time around Marcus must once again put up with Willie's heavy drinking and a series of incidents that constantly shoot themselves in the foot. Not to mention a nosy department store security guard who's onto them and wants his cut of the loot. Will Willie and Marcus make it to next Christmas? Or will this be the year the dynamic duo finally face justice?

Not a big talker.

No, not really.

-Buy you one?|-Why not?

Happy New Year.

You're pretty regular|for a Santa.

It's not that big|a f***ing deal.

It's just a job,|you know what I mean?

I'm an eating, drinking,|shitting, f***ing Santy Claus.

Prove it.

F*** me, Santa.|F*** me, Santa.

F*** me, Santa. F*** me, Santa.|F*** me, Santa. F*** me, Santa.

F*** me, Santa.|F*** me, Santa!

Can't I at least take|this hat off?

No. I love the hat.

Okay.

Whoo!

I've always had a thing|for Santa Claus.

In case you didn't notice.

It's like some deep-seated|childhood thing.

So is my thing for tits.

Yeah.|It is like that, though.

From when you're a kid.

'Cause my dad was Jewish,|and we didn't have Christmas.

So it was like|this forbidden thing.

So...

I like you.

Don't mothball that suit.

What the f***?

I am not gay.

-What the hell, buddy?|-Buddy?

I said I am not gay.

Are you off your f***ing meds|or something?

Yes.

But that isn't|what this is about.

You're as queer as a $10 bill.

Let me tell you something,|motherf***er.

My brother lost a goddamn arm|fighting you f***ers in Vietnam.

So I want you to look at my face|one last f***ing time.

This is the last thing you're|ever gonna see before I --

Elf f***er!

-Motherf***er!|-Turn around, elf f***er.

Who's the b*tch now,|Santy Claus? Huh?

Faggy Claus!|Faggy!

Leave Santa alone!

Little boy, don't interfere.|I am doing this for all of us.

Leave Santa alone!

Ass clown.

Hey, you're that kid.

What the f*** are you|doing here?

This one f***ing time|I take you home, okay?

Uh-huh.

I'm not your f***ing dada.

Uh-huh.

It's not like you helped me|with that nutjob or anything.

-Uh-huh.|-You're the right height.

You're right there|to grab his balls.

-You could twist them.|-Why do you need a car?

-What?|-This car.

Which turn is it?

Sage Terrace.|Where's your sleigh?

It's in the shop,|getting repaired.

-Where are the reindeer?|-I stabled them.

Is it left or right?

That way.

Where's the stable?

-Next to the shop.|-How do they sleep?

Who? The reindeer?|Standing up.

But the noise.|How do they sleep?

-What noise?|-From the shop.

They only work during the day,|all right?

I thought it was always night|at the North Pole.

Well, not now.|Right now it's always day.

Then how do they sleep?

-Oh, sh*t. Sage Terrace.

What is it with you? Somebody|drop you on your f***ing head?

On my head?

Are they gonna drop you|on somebody else's head?

How can they drop me|onto my own head?

No, not onto your...|Would...

God damn it!|Are you f***ing with me?

Okay.|Which house is it?

That one.

With Jesus and his family|there or what?

No.|The one beside that.

-Right here?|-Yeah. That one.

All right.
