Christmas With The Kranks Page #3

---

don't you think?

I couldn't be happier.

It's not gonna be the same

without Blair here.

Of course not.

Honey, are you okay?

-Come here. Honey!

-Give me a hand.

There are certain things around here

that I'm gonna miss at Christmas.

So you're...

really skipping out?

You got it.

Somehow, it just doesn't seem right.

That's really not up to you to decide, is it?

But I got to tell you,

the neighbors are pretty upset.

Really?

Christmas has always been a neighborhood

thing around here. You know that.

Everybody decorates.

Everybody bakes cookies, and swaps gifts.

I guess we do it for the kids.

If you're trying to make me feel guilty,

get off of it.

And you know what else?

I'd appreciate it if you...

and everyone else around here

would just respect my wishes.

Whatever you say, Luther.

Weather should be clear tomorrow.

Perfect time to put up Frosty.

Frosty?

Tell you what, truth is, if I'm gone, I'm....

Vic?

Frosty is a Christmas tradition.

Frosty is a Christmas decoration.

I will not be told by Vic Frohmeyer that

I have to decorate my house for Christmas.

Why won't you put up Frosty?

It's the principle thing. Do you understand?

We can forget about Christmas

if we damn well choose.

And nobody,

not even Vic Frohmeyer, can stop us.

I will not be forced into doing this.

Have a good day.

Hi, Nora.

-Morning, Bev. Hi, Walt.

-Hey, Nora!

It was an accident.

Walt, why don't you put

that cat of yours on a leash?

Only dogs wear leashes, old man.

Think you can run away from Christmas?

-I'm trying to.

-Guess it's a good way to save money.

-It's not about the money.

-Yeah, sure.

Muffles, be polite.

Will you two ever be friends?

You know, I'd like to say yes, but....

How you feeling today, Bev?

Have my good days and bad days.

Today's a good day.

I'm glad to hear that.

Come have your breakfast, dear.

I got to get to work.

Still working for the Man, huh?

As a matter of fact, it is a man I work for.

Thought they would've made you partner

by now.

I got to get to work.

Have a good one, old man.

One snowball with a little yellow spot on it.

Just skim the top of that little head of his.

Just like that.

"Old man."

Bah, humbug.

Good morning, Mr. Scrooge.

-Morning, Dox. Do I have any messages?

-Wal-Mart called.

Said I had to buy my own cheap perfume

since Santa Claus isn't coming this year.

Funny.

Nora Krank!

We're here for Frosty!

-Hello.

-Luther.

-Hey, babe.

-They're here.

Who?

Vic Frohmeyer, Wes Trogdon, Ned Becker,

and a gang of their kids.

We're here for Frosty!

-They want Frosty.

-They can't have him.

Nora!

Please give us Frosty.

Honey, where is Frosty?

-He's down behind the furnace. Why?
