The Night They Saved Christmas Page #3

jackals of his over at Global

Oil are up to their old tricks

again.

Well, Fred didn't close,

did he?

You heard me, I told him to

walk away.

Just like I'm gonna walk away

from this entire development,

unless you bring something in

soon.

It's here, Sumner,

I know it's here,

on one of the two sites.

We've had a f-few problems.

Oh, no, baby.

You have problems!

You're the chief geological

engineer on this project.

You recommended this

exploration!

And if I don't see some results

soon, I'm pulling out,

and you're gonna be looking

for a job.

Here they are.

Oh, that's good.

Well, that's it for me.

I gotta get going.

But Dad, we haven't finished

decorating the tree.

I know, but I have another

meeting with Mr. Murdock.

He acts like he owns you.

He doesn't own me, princess,

but he does pay the bills

around here.

All right, kids,

the dishes.

Okay, okay, come on.

Come on.

I'll see you later, darling.

Who could that be?

I'll get it.

Where did you get that?

The army abandoned it here

after the war.

It's the only one like it.

That's very interesting,

but I don't have any time for

Arnie Hanson's jokes today.

Jokes?

Michael, who is it?

Hanson's elf is back.

Come on in.

Claudia, I'd like you to meet

Santa Claus' chief elf, Ed.

Ed, this is Mrs. Baldwin.

Hello.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

You'll have to discuss it

with her, I have an urgent

meeting to go to.

I'll probably be late.

Won't you sit down?

Oh, thank you.

Goodness.

My goodness, I--

I'm sure I said today.

Do you suppose you and the

children could come with me,

Mrs. Baldwin?

Come where?

Home...

to North Pole City.

To North Pole City?

Yes.

To meet him.

To meet who?

Santa Claus.

Hey, you guys.

After you're finished helping

Hedda, how would you like to go

and meet Santa Claus?

Meet Santa Claus-- sure!

Come on, Ma, don't put us on.

Well, Mr. Hanson's little

friend is back, he's out in

front.

He is?

He sure is.

And we've all been invited to go

to the North Pole.

Where we'll all meet a big

white rabbit and go to the Mad

Hatter's tea party!

Will you please shut up?

Can we go?

Can we go?

Even if it is a joke?

Yeah.

Here we are.

These are my children, David,

Marianne, and C.B.

Marvelous!

It's very nice meeting you.

Let me help you in.

Well, here we go!

Wow, I could even reach the

controls on this one.

Yes, you certainly could!

Do you think you could teach

me how to drive it?

Not now, C.B., there's not

time.

Perhaps when we get where we're

going.

I can tell you Santa Claus

appreciates this, Mrs. Baldwin.

Once you've met him, I hope you

can convince your husband to

stop the dynamiting.
