The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause Page #5

Wow.

I never dreamed I'd be so well-connected

to elves in high places.

We really must party

in my condo in Gstaad sometime.

It'd be fun.

Tell me, how do you get into

the Hall of Snow Globes, anyway?

Sorry, Jack. Now that's classified.

I know that...

...elf number one.

- Did you bring the deep-dreamin' stuff?

- Got it.

It's important they sleep and dream

they're on a wonderful flight to Canada.

- I'm with the programme.

- Good.

I may be sleepy, but I'm not stupid.

Yeah, well, take the hat off.

I get sniffly without my cap.

OK, OK.

All right, all right.

Hey, Dad?

Scott Calvin, as I live and breathe.

Good thing you called.

Otherwise I don't know

if I would've remembered you.

It's me, good old Scott Calvin.

You look a little like Father Time.

Doesn't look anything

like Father Time.

Oh. That's a nice door.

Well, thank you. Yeah.

It was a little sticky,

but smooth as a baby's butt now.

- Come, take a feel.

- Oh, why not, huh?

Look at that.

Very butt-like.

Who's your pal?

Sandy. This is my associate.

He'll be taking us to the airport.

- An associate? Business must be good.

- Busy as usual.

So busy you can't bring our daughter

to visit her mother and father?

Scott.

Oh, so nice to see you.

- You too, Sylvia.

- And your friend?

- Sandy.

- Sandy.

Nice to meet you.

Do you know how excited

we were to get your phone call?

See, we get so few,

and each one is special.

Oh, come on, you guys,

you'll catch pneumonia out here.

It's so wonderful

to have you all here.

- Festive.

- Easy.

Please, please sit down.

Oh, no, no, no. No.

We gotta get to the airport.

Kind of a hurry. Let's get

your bags and pop 'em in the car.

- I'm almost packed.

- Great!

Throw my underwear in a bag. It's not

like we're going to the North Pole.

- It's cold in Canada.

- Well...

Remember when we went to Yosemite?

Oh, here we go, Yosemite again.

It was freezing

and there were bears.

You never left the lodge.

Because it was freezing.

- And there were bears?

- Yes! And it was freezing.

- It was freezing weather?

- It was in the freezing weather.

Let me understand.

You did not enjoy the trip to Yosemite?

- You heard me.

- I heard you.

What?

What part of our plan was not clear?

Let's put them to sleep

when they get into the car.

I couldn't stand to hear

the Yosemite story anymore.

OK. So let's figure how we'll

get in the car. We'll both...

Sandman, what are you doing?

What? Sandman. Sandman!

Great, I get to throw

his underwear in a bag.

Hey, Mrs C. What you doing?

Oh, hi, Jack.

I'm trying to pick a tree

the whole family will love.

Ah, family.

You know, I cannot imagine

how hard it must be

keeping such a big secret
