Come on, hang some tinsel.

Dad, I hate it

when you call me that.

Arnold! Arnold! Arnold!

Arnold! Arnold! Arnold!

Arnold! Arnold! Arnold!

On the third day of Christmas

My true love gave to me

Testing. Testing.

One, two, three, four.

Help! Yoo-hoo!

Hey!

Hey! Hey, hey!

Hey! Hey, hey!

Yoo-hoo!

Hey!

Hey!

I'm stuck in the elevator.

Hey!

I'm stuck in the

elevator get me please.

Come to get me

on Christmas Eve.

Mrs. Munchnik sitting

here with nothing.

Hey, come to get me...

Oh! God. Whoa! Hey!

Come... Now come to get

me stuck in this place.

Get me soon

or hit me in my face

I can't believe I did it.

I broke the rule.

I gave out our address.

I hate it when they cry.

Especially when the cries have

those little hiccups at the end.

This is the worse day

of my life.

It's the Santa Anas.

Everyone's behaving strangely.

What if he's a serial killer? What if I

gave our address to the Seaside Strangler?

I don't think the Seaside

Strangler phones first,

although it could be one of those details

they leave out of the newspapers.

I'll handle this.

Hello, this is Lifesavers. Merry Christmas.

How may I help you?

Hello. I'm calling you because

this is my last Christmas.

Your last Christmas. Continue.

I have leukemia. I have

only two months to live.

Hello?

Leukemia. I'm so sorry, sir.

May I speak to a woman?

May I wish a woman

Merry Christmas?

Absolutely. And may I say

that I admire your courage.

All of us here do.

Here is my colleague.

Hello. Merry Christmas,

if it's all right to say that.

What's your name? Catherine.

I want to do it to you. I want

to stick it in you right now!

Did he say, "stick it in"?

Oh, I'm reaming and ramming!

Oh, you love it!

Stop it, right this minute!

We can't have that sort of thing!

I want you.

Put the slut back on!

Dog haters, that awful woman

is stuck in the elevator.

Stuck. I hope forever.

I'm stuck!

We're coming, Mrs. Munchnik!

I hope it takes them

years to get you out.

It'll serve you right for

reporting Daisy to the landlord.

She practically gave me rabies!

You don't "practically"

get rabies.

You either get rabies or you don't get rabies.

There's no in between.

I'll get that!

What seems to be the problem?

I'm sure I don't know.

I am a trained mechanic, and I

would happily fix any elevator

that didn't have

a dog hater stuck in it!

I'll check

the circuit breaker box.

Well, who was that?

Another basket case?

That was your dead

husband's sister.

They're starting dinner without you.

Lucky them!

- I'm calling the landlord.

- Don't think I don't know

what's really going on

between you and those dogs!

Stanley, if you could just
