Deck the Halls Page #5

- It's adorable.

- Carter, get out of there. Right now.

We should keep our voices down,

because I found these horses

on the outskirts of town

and, between you and me,

they look a little skittish.

You found these horses?

Carter, out of that deathtrap now!

- OK, Carter, give me your hand.

- Carter, let's go. Give me the reins.

Let go. Let go of the

reins. Let go of the reins!

- Oh, my God. Steve!

- Honey! Honey!

- Daddy!

- Honey!

- Run, run, run, run!

- Daddy!

Whoa, stop, horsey!

That's not good!

How do you steer this thing?

Out of the way! Out of the way!

Mrs Ryor!

Oh, my!

Santa! He's real!

I knew it! I knew it!

Oh, boy!

He's coming to.

I think he's gonna be all right.

- Where am I?

- We're in the back seat of your wife's car,

on the way to the hospital.

You warming up?

Yeah.

Where are my clothes?

You were freezing to death.

We had to get you out of them.

- Where are your clothes?

- I had to get your body temperature up,

so I stripped us both down

and zipped us into this sleeping bag.

Trust me, it works.

I've done it a half a dozen times.

Calm down, calm down.

The doctor said he saved your life.

Which is only fair, since he's the one who

almost got me killed in the first place.

This used to be such a nice,

quiet neighbourhood. Look at it now.

People driving by all night.

Did you see that? Did you see that?

I think he's tapping into our power.

Yes. And in the process,

he is stealing our very souls.

- How do you think he's powering his lights?

- I think you're wrong about him.

Look at what he dropped off. He knew

we didn't get a chance to take a picture,

so look what he made

from a picture he took at the hospital.

- That's you, with the blue lips.

- Yeah.

Yeah, and a cute little oxygen tube

coming from your nose.

Yeah, I picked up on that. Thanks.

Come on, now.

That is a nice gesture, don't you think?

OK.

OK, yeah. Maybe. I don't know.

Maybe. I don't know.

I think we should take them

with us to get the tree.

- No!

- Yes.

Cos I really like Tia. She's taking

a real interest in my cookbooks,

and you just need to find a way

to get along with Buddy.

OK, but he's not touching any of my trees.

OK, fine. But they're coming with us.

- Hey, Mom.

- Hey, sweetie.

Hey, Dad.

I was thinking, maybe you could take me

Christmas shopping for Mom.

We could go to the mall and wander around.

- We could get hot chocolate.

- Know what? Already taken care of.

You're getting her a nice sweater

that I ordered from a catalogue.

So we don't have to go to the mall together.

Isn't that great?

It's an insane asylum this time of year.

A little more power.

- Did you see that?

- Yeah.

You did?
