Barbie in a Christmas Carol

---

BARBIE:
Kelly!

Kelly!

Kelly!

Kelly, where are you? We're late.

(SIGHS) How do little sisters

know the exact worst time to disappear?

Hmm.

(GIGGLING)

Tell me you haven't been

in my room this whole time.

Well, not forever.

Didn't you hear me calling for you?

We're late.

The Charity Christmas Ball

starts in, like, five minutes.

All our friends and family are already there.

Come on.

Small person not next to me.

Kelly? Come on.

(CHUCKLES) Wow. Looks like

someone's got the Christmas spirit.

This isn't Christmas.

Really? Because the calendar says

December 24th, Christmas Eve.

And pretty much everyone we know

is at the Charity Christmas Ball,

where we need to be.

I don't want to go to the Ball.

I want to do what we do every Christmas Eve.

I want to stay home

and make cookies and drink cocoa

and sing carols and open a special present.

That's what we do,

and I'm staying here until we do it.

Okay. I know you miss what we usually do,

but look what we get instead.

We'll go to a big party,

spend time with our friends and family,

and support a really good cause.

The Ball will raise money for a hospital.

- It's Christmas.

- I hate Christmas!

I see. Hmm.

You know what?

I think it's okay if we run a little late.

I wanna show you something.

That's your snow globe.

You said I wasn't allowed to touch it.

Well, this is a special occasion.

Go on.

(CHRISTMAS CAROL PLAYING)

There's a story behind this snow globe.

There is?

A story about the beauty of Christmas,

and how one girl

discovered it many, many years ago.

(SINGING) O Christmas tree

O Christmas tree

How lovely are thy branches

O Christmas tree

O Christmas tree

How lovely are thy branches

You bloom with summer's fairest rose

And in the winter's bitter snows

O Christmas tree

O Christmas tree

How lovely are thy

Thy

Thy

Branches

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

BARBIE:
Eden Starling was the most famous

singing star in Victorian England.

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

BARBIE:
She was beautiful, talented...

(EXCLAIMS IN DISGUST)

(SCREAMS)

... and incredibly full of herself.

I hate Christmas!

- Hey, that's what I said.

- Really?

Hmm. Must be a coincidence.

Singing those insipid little carols every year.

I am a classically trained songstress.

I perform opera, Chuzzlewit.

(MEOWS)

Opera.

(MEOWS)

Where's my tea and crumpets?

There's supposed to be

a tray of tea and crumpets right here.

And where's Catherine?

Catherine! Catherine!

(ECHOING) Catherine!

(SINGING)

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Fa la la la la la la la la

'Tis the season to be jolly

Fa la la la la la la la la

Don we now our gay apparel

Fa la la la la la la la la

Troll the ancient Yuletide carol

Fa la la la la la la la la

See the blazing Yule before us

Fa la la la la la la la la

Strike the harp and join the chorus

Fa la la la la la la la la

Follow me in merry measure

Fa la la la la la la la la

While I tell of Yuletide treasure

Fa la la la la

Fa la la la

Fa la la la la la la la la

- Freddy...

- So...

- When are you going...

- To ask her?

Whoa!

Ann, Nan, ask who?

Come now, Freddy. We all know

you want to ask Catherine out on a date.

Whoa!

(EXCLAIMING)

(GASPS)

(CHUCKLING)

If you want to ask her out, do it now,

before we leave for Christmas holidays.

Otherwise, out of sight... Poof! Out of mind.

You think so?

(LAUGHS) I know so.

(CLEARS THROAT)

All right. I'm really going to do it.

(BOTH GIGGLE)

I'm really going to do it.

I'm going to ask...

Catherine!

(GASPS)

(GROANS)

Oh!

Hello, Eden.

Hello, Chuzzie.

EDEN:
It's Chuzzlewit.

You know he hates Chuzzie.
