Jingle All the Way 2 Page #5

We have enough time for another

snowball fight after lunch.

Right, Victor?

You wouldn't be interested

in peace talks, would you?

Not a chance.

I had a lot of fun with you, Victor.

Me too.

You're almost as much fun as my dad.

Almost as much fun as Larry.

I can't compete with that guy.

Skating, sledding,

hockey, ice fishing.

He's like a big squishy teddy bear.

This isn't a competition, Victor.

You're Noel's dad too.

Dad Number 2. Second best. Runner-up.

A substitute.

Not the real thing but

a startling simulation.

"Dad too," as in "dad also. "

Your job is to be there

for Noel, same as Larry.

That's all that matters.

Okay?

Okay?

Teddy bear.

I'm telling you, Claude...

Victor may have a snow machine,

but Noel is gonna love this.

- Larry, this is crazy. - Yeah, but

it's the real-good kind of crazy.

Who needs a snow machine

when you've got real snow?

Go like this.

It's better on your back.

- When is he gonna be here?

- I'm sure he'll be here soon, honey.

Hopefully in the next year.

That's Larry.

There he is.

- Hey.

- Hey. He's here.

- Hi, Daddy.

- Where's my little girl?

Oh, good. Oh, you're getting big.

We've been waiting for a half hour.

Where have you been?

- I got a surprise for Noel.

- A surprise? What is it? What is it?

How would you like to have

some real snow at Christmas?

- We already have snow at Victor's.

- I know, but that's that fake stuff.

I mean real snow. This come out

of the sky and everything.

It's real snow, not that synthetic

man-made polyester stuff...

that you've got at your house.

- This is real.

- That would be awesome.

- Darn right it would be.

- Let's show these nonbelievers, Lar.

Oh, boy. It's gonna be exciting.

This is the best idea I ever had.

Get ready to be bowled over.

- Anybody got a towel?

- Daddy?

- You know what that is?

- No.

It's a tickle monster.

It's a tickle monster.

All right, you goof, time for bed.

Good night, Dad. Thanks for the snow.

I really liked it, even though

it was melted and everything.

Sweetie, that's nice of you.

I appreciate it.

Listen, I love you. Good night. Now,

you have a good night's sleep, okay?

- Good night, Daddy.

- Good night, sweetie.

I don't know, Claude.

I just can't catch a break.

I don't know how I can

compete with Victor.

It's tough. I'll give you that.

He's younger, richer, more educated.

He's in great shape and much,

much, much better-looking.

All right. I get the point.

But the more important question is...

why do you feel the need

to compete with Victor?

Noel doesn't care about that stuff.

She loves you for you, Larry.

I am pretty lovable.

Good night, Larry.

See you later, Claude.
