who had everyone at the office...

...but me!

Then the toy breaks and you can't

fix it because it's cheap plastic!

I'd like to walk up in that office,

grab one of those guys and...

...choke him until his eyes pop out!

Shouldn't wear fur.

Back off! I'm first!

Turbo Man, you're mine!

Move it! Move it!

Get out of my way!

Who wants Booster?

The Turbo Man dolls,

they're all gone!

-There must be one.

-There are none!

-Excuse me.

-Yes?

-I need a Turbo Man.

-Me too.

Do you have any in back?

Why's he laughing?

Michael, these guys are looking

for a Turbo Man.

They're looking for Turbo Man.

Hey, everybody, these two

are looking for a Turbo Man.

Shut up!

Yeah, what's so funny?

Where have you guys been? Turbo Man's

only the hottest selling toy ever.

But we got plenty of Turbo Man's

saber-toothed tiger, Booster.

Where's your Christmas spirit?

That's better.

There must be a Turbo Man

here somewhere.

The last one just left.

A lady had it on layaway.

A lady? What lady?

Short...

...with a fur coat!

Sorry, buddy!

Give me this.

This is war.

Oh, poor baby!

Hey, lady!

Hey, hold it!

Wait!

Wait, lady!

I need that Turbo Man!

Wait!

I'm Turbo Man.

No, I am!

You're always Turbo Man.

-You be Dementor.

-Heck, no.

Cut it out.

-Hi, Liz.

-Oh, hi, Ted.

It's Christmas Eve and you're

slaving over a hot stove.

"Mom of the Year."

It's no big deal.

And modest too.

Looks like you could use

some "you time."

Go upstairs, take a bath. I'll watch

the boys, finish up with the cookies.

Go on.

You deserve it.

Well, okay, but, you know...

I know, sugar cookies.

Bake 1 2 to 1 5 minutes...

...till golden brown.

Ted's got everything under control!

Pipe down in there!

Merry Christmas!

Langston residence.

Howard! How's it going out there?

Everything okay?

Fine. I need to speak to Liz.

Could you get...?

Excuse me, but your wife's cookies

are out of this world.

What? Who told you

you can eat my cookies?

I'm just helping Liz out a little

in the kitchen.

I need to speak to my wife, so could

you get her on the phone, please?

She may be showering, should I check?

No!

I mean, no. It's fine.

On your way out, tell her

I will be a few minutes late.

But she shouldn't worry.

She won't. I mean, I'm here and...

Oh, these cookies! I gotta get

the recipe from Liz.

Put that cookie down!

Now!

Is something bothering you?

At Christmas there's

a high incidence of breakdowns.

There's the next batch.

I'll give Liz your message.

Hey, look who it is!

Still on the hunt?

Sorry about whacking you.

Got caught up in the friendly

spirit of competition.

That's all right.

I was thinking you'd have

done the same thing.

Then I realized we're the same
