Listen up, men.

For years, we've been forced to hunt

and scavenge for our next meal.

Well, no more,

thanks to our new lucky charm here.

Hey! Go on, Essie!

I have had an idea

that will change our lives.

We're going to Santa's Fell.

(Niko gasps)

And we're going to feast

on his flying reindeer.

(Niko gasps; wolves chuckle)

And by eating our enemies,

their strength will become ours.

(gasps)

You will be Santa's Flying Wolves.

(wolves laugh; one wolf howls)

Ahem.

Um...

maybe I'm barking

up the wrong tree,

but if you eat Santa's reindeer,

don't you think he might just be

a little bit upset?

True.

(relieved sigh)

That's why we're going

to eat Santa too!

(gasps; Black Wolf laughs)

And I'll take his place.

Just think of all the delicious

little boys and girls

waiting for me to visit.

But... but Santa's supposed

to give children presents,

not eat them!

New Santa, new rules.

Next stop, Santa's Fell.

(wolves howling)

- Huh?

- Huh?

I was just leaving!

BLACK WOLF:
Get him!

Aaahhh!

JULIUS:
Niko!

Niko!

Where are you?

Huh?

Niko! Boy, am I glad to see you!

Whoaaa!

Can't I leave you alone

for five minutes?

They're gaining on us!

Faster, Niko!

You fly!

- Save yourself!

- I'm not leaving you alone again.

You only make things worse!

(wolf pack barking)

(low growl)

(panting)

- NIKO:
Oh, no!

- JULIUS:
Uh-oh!

(Black Wolf laughing)

The reindeer knows too much.

(gasping)

No survivors.

(wolves laugh)

- WILMA:
My public!

- JULIUS:
What?!

Hmm?

My first number is guaranteed

to bring the house down.

# Well, there's something

that I want to say #

# And there's something

that I've got to do #

Oh, goodie!

I love a good knees-up!

Really? Me too.

Oh. This seat's free, miss.

# Even got down on my knees to pray #

# 'Cause, baby, I miss you #

# 'Cause, baby, I miss you #

# Whoo! #

(cracking sound)

Oh!

(both gasp)

(growling)

(all shouting)

WILMA:
Whoo! Whoa!

(Julius yelling)

WILMA:
I'll drive, old-timer!

Jump high, reindeer boy!

WILMA:
# Dah dah doo-dah doo-dah

doo-dah whoo! #

(wolves yelping)

Aaahhhh!

Aaaahhhhhhh!

(growling)

(Niko, Julius, and Wilma screaming)

JULIUS:
Ohh! The tree!

Watch out for the tree!

WILMA:
I see it!

Backseat drivers!

Whoa!

(all yelling)

WILMA:
Whoo! Yeah!

Oh, here we go!

Ohhh!

WILMA:
Whoo-hoo!

(laughs)

(all yelling)

(Julius yelling)

JULIUS:

Whoo whoo whoo whoo!

Huh. Whew!

I can't believe I got out of that

without a single scratch.

Oh!

(Wilma laughs)

WILMA:
Nice going, Nutboy!

Nutboy?

(wind howling)

(Essie gasps)

(Specs chuckles; Essie gasps)

Aah! My legs!

I can't feel my legs!

(howling)

What the heck are you doing?

All right, sorry!

Keep your hair on!
