The Santa Clause Page #5

Synopsis: Divorcee Scott Calvin is disgusted to learn that his ex and her husband have tried - and failed - to break it easy to their 6-year-old son Charlie that Santa isn't real. On Christmas Eve, Scott reads The Night Before Christmas... then receives an unexpected visitor on his roof. When he's startled by Scott's calling out and falls, the Santa impersonator disappears, leaving only an 8-reindeer sleigh and a suit with instructions to put it on if he's involved in an accident. Scott does, and is transported around the town dropping gifts through chimneys until he's taken to the North Pole and informed by a group who claim they're elves that he is now Santa. Charlie is proud of his dad's new job, though Scott's convinced it's a dream. Until his hair turns white, his beard refuses to stay shaved, he gains weight inexplicably, even for his sudden love of junk food... Now he's accepted it, there's just one problem: how to keep it secret from his disbelieving family?

Even if there was, d-didn't | you notice there's no chimney?

Where there's no chimney, | there's no fireplace.

Are you growling at me?

Look, Comet, like I said,

there is nothing left--

That's so weird, 'cause | I know when I did-- that--

No, no, no, no, no! | Hold it!

There's no chimney here. Can you | hear me? No chimney, all right?

Lookin' good, Dad.

You have got to be kidding! | Come on!

Look at the size | of this thing.

Weird! Ow!

Ouch! Oh!

- Santa? | - Scott Calvin.

How come your clothes | are so baggy?

Because Santa is watchin' | his saturated fats.

- How come you don't have a beard? | - Because I shaved!

Do you want this doll or not? | Go back to sleep.

You're supposed | to drink the milk.

Look, I am | lactose intolerant.

And I am just about this close | to taking all those presents | back up the chimney with me.

"Supposed to drink the milk."

Shut your eyes.

Yo!

How do you get in | without a fireplace?

I don't know. | One just kind of appeared.

Awesome!

Oh, boy!

Charlie, look at the clouds over here. | Aren't they pret--

Charlie!

All right. | Mornin', fellas.

Mornin', sport. | We're done, Comet. Ho-ho-ho.

Back to the house.

Merry Christmas to all | and to all a good night.

When I wake up, | I'm gettin' a CAT scan!

- Is this okay, Dad? | - No, it's not okay!

Hey, does this look like home | to you guys?

No, no, no, no, no! | Hey, hey, hey!

Where you goin'? | Come back here! Aww!

In the silence of the night

- When the snow | - Hey, hey!

- Lies soft and still | - Hey, buddy!

- You, sir! Hey! | - You can see a magic light

And hear the ring | of Christmas bells

- Can you hear me? | - Though the night seems long and dark

- It is the earth | - What's that?

- Just gone to sleep | - I don't know.

- I think it's the North Pole. | - The stars that dot

- That's the North Pole? | - The sky above

- Hey, buddy, we need some help. | - Hold you in

- Hello! | - Their precious keep

- What are you doing? | - So close your eyes and come with me

The Christmas bells | will bring you home

Hey, look! | Here comes the new Santa!

And now with song | we fill the night

While magic dances | in the light

To wish you now | and all the year

The joy that comes | with Christmas cheer

- Sit back. | - Hear our voices fill the air

To drive the | winter's cold away

And so our hearts | with all will share

The love that comes | with Christmas day

The love that comes | with Christmas day

The Christmas bells | will bring you home

- Where are all the grown-ups? | - This is so cool.

Stay here.

Hey, kid, kid. | Kid, who's in charge here?

You are. And I'm not a kid. I've | pointy shoes that are older than you.

I'm an elf.
