Saving Santa Page #2

my gingerbread basket!

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

(SIGHS)

That thing still won't

translate to English, eh?

Oh, jingle bells,

I can't do anything right.

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

If you're asking how

the presentation went,

prepare to be underwhelmed.

As usual, I'm a miserable failure.

My Christmas memory machine

knocked the power out in the room.

So embarrassing.

But I guess I'll just have

to face the Christmas music.

I'll never be one of

Santa's trusty inventors.

(GRUNTING)

(DOOR OPENING)

(CLEARING THROAT)

Ah! Mr. Claus, I'm so sorry,

sir. I'll get that right off.

Ho, ho, ho!

That's nothing!

You fly around the world behind

eight well-fed reindeer,

as long as I have and...

(GUFFAWS)

...and you get used to getting

hit with a few warm brownies.

Say, what's this nifty contraption?

It's a reindeer vocalizer.

(BROADCASTING GIBBERISH)

You made this?

How clever.

It would be if I could

get it to speak English.

Merry Christmas, Blitzen.

Are you ready to fly tonight?

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

See?

(SANTA RESPONDING IN GIBBERISH)

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

Works for me, I speak

all languages. Ho, ho, ho!

Put down the brush

and come with me.

There's something

I want to show you.

Do you know there are tens of millions

of children who celebrate Christmas?

Every year.

When I started,

there were only a few thousand.

Ever heard how I do it?

Well, just rumors, sir.

I haven't been snooping,

if that's what you mean,

I swear, I don't go near the sleigh.

Except to admire it, of course.

And I found a cup holder,

which is a nice feature,

but I don't look at

anything else, so...

(CHUCKLES) I know.

You're a good egg.

Go on. How do you

think I do it? Hmm?

Well, uh... Some of the guys

think you teleport.

That theory isn't

scientifically sound.

Now, time travel, on the other hand...

Oh, you're one clever little elf!

(CHUCKLES)

You know your stuff. (LAUGHS)

Santech's very first invention:

the Time Globe.

Absolutely tip-top secret.

It's what started it all.

Heh. Wouldn't be able

to keep up with my deliveries

- if it weren't for this.

- It's real!

Amazing! Can I see?

Ho, ho, no.

No touching, now.

This can also be very dangerous,

lots of rules to follow.

A very delicate thing,

the fabric of time.

Once something is done,

it cannot be undone, only added to.

Or if you were to interact with yourself:

incredibly dangerous.

Speaking one word to yourself

would unravel our very...

Well, we can go into that

some other time I suppose.

Santa, why are you

telling me all of this?

Because, uh... Well, because you

remind me of the elf that invented this.

(CHUCKLING)

He was a lot like you.

Though a bit older, if I remember.
