1. (male narrator)
Christmas..
Copy !req
2. the time of year
when the chill in the air
Copy !req
3. brings out the warmth
in your heart.
Copy !req
4. But what happens to
the Christmas spirit
Copy !req
5. when it's a 104-degrees outside?
Copy !req
6. Bugs, Christmas is almost here.
Aren't you excited?
Copy !req
7. Uh, not really. It's December
and it's a 100 degrees out here.
Copy !req
8. caw caw
Copy !req
9. - What are you saying?
- It's too hot for Christmas.
Copy !req
10. Too hot for Christmas? Oh,
how can you say such a
thing?
Copy !req
11. I feel woozy.
Oh! Like I'm gonna faint.
Copy !req
12. That's because
you're wearing a parka.
Copy !req
13. Huh? Oh.
Copy !req
14. Oh, yeah. That's much better.
Copy !req
15. What were we
talking about again?
Copy !req
16. Not doing Christmas this year.
Copy !req
17. Ohh!
Copy !req
18. thud
Copy !req
19. (man on TV)
'And with no rewief in sight
for this heat wave'
Copy !req
20. it certainly doesn't
feel wike Christmas.
Copy !req
21. 'A year ago today,
this was Main street'
Copy !req
22. 'and this is how it wooks now.'
Copy !req
23. whoosh
Copy !req
24. I thought selling Christmas
trees would be the perfect job.
Copy !req
25. You make your money
and you only gotta work
Copy !req
26. a couple of weeks a year.
Copy !req
27. But it's so darned hot,
no one's buyin' 'em
Copy !req
28. and now they're all dried up.
Copy !req
29. sputter
Copy !req
30. Aah! Fire!
Copy !req
31. Fire! Aah!
Copy !req
32. Wooks wike this Christmas
is gonna be anything but merry.
Copy !req
33. What is wrong with everyone?
Copy !req
34. A little heat, we all
just give up on Christmas?
Copy !req
35. Hey, well, not me.
I'm gonna do something about it.
Copy !req
36. I'm-I'm gonna go out there
and I'm gonna..
Copy !req
37. I'm gonna..
Copy !req
38. put on a show.
Copy !req
39. A show that captures
the true meaning of Christmas.
Copy !req
40. Like "A Christmas Carol?"
Copy !req
41. Oh. I was thinking "Cats."
Copy !req
42. - What's "A Christmas Carol?"
- "A Christmas Carol."
Copy !req
43. Charles Dickens.
Copy !req
44. Scrooge?
Copy !req
45. Tiny Tim?
Copy !req
46. Bah, humbug?
Copy !req
47. Here. It's the world's
most famous Christmas story.
Copy !req
48. Oh! Thanks, Bun Bun.
Copy !req
49. Mwah. I'm off to save Christmas.
Copy !req
50. I mean, Charles Dickens
and I are off to save Christmas.
Copy !req
51. Man, it's hot out here.
Copy !req
52. Ohh!
Copy !req
53. thud
Copy !req
54. - What are you doing?
- Making room.
Copy !req
55. For what? I don't want to
cook a turkey this year.
Copy !req
56. It's too hot.
Copy !req
57. I'm making room for a duck
Copy !req
58. not a turkey.
Copy !req
59. What are you? Insane?
Copy !req
60. You'll suffocate.
Copy !req
61. Well, it's better
than being hot.
Copy !req
62. Plus, I've heard suffocating's
Copy !req
63. the most pleasant way to go.
Copy !req
64. Humph.
Copy !req
65. Wait, or is it that
the suffocating's
Copy !req
66. the worst way to go?
Copy !req
67. I should probably do
a little research.
Copy !req
68. Hey, look, it's your buddy.
Copy !req
69. (man on TV)
'In a rewated story'
Copy !req
70. eccentric billionaire
Foghorn Weghorn
Copy !req
71. held a pwess conference today
Copy !req
72. and made
a stunning announcement.
Copy !req
73. I've been, I say, I've been
hearin' a lot of whinin'
Copy !req
74. about how it's too hot to
celebrate Christmas this year!
Copy !req
75. But I'm here to announce
that I'm gonna do somethin'..
Copy !req
76. I say, I'm gonna do
something about it!
Copy !req
77. Ladies and gentlemen
Copy !req
78. I give you the fan plan.
Copy !req
79. - What is that?
- It's a giant fan, boy.
Copy !req
80. And I'm gonna set it up
at the North Pole
Copy !req
81. and blow some of that
cold air down here.
Copy !req
82. If I were you, I'd get your
sweaters out of the cedar closet
Copy !req
83. 'cause I'm predictin',
I say, I'm predictin'
Copy !req
84. a white Christmas!
Copy !req
85. That is one crazy rooster.
Copy !req
86. I'm surprised you didn't get
roped into going with him.
Copy !req
87. Oh, I'm going.
Copy !req
88. Well, I'm off to the North Pole.
Copy !req
89. Should I bring a jacket?
Copy !req
90. Nah, it's
a 1000-degrees outside.
Copy !req
91. Bugs, your girlfriend fainted.
Copy !req
92. (Lola)
'Thank you all for coming.'
Copy !req
93. Of course, we're all here
for the same reason.
Copy !req
94. We care about the community.
Copy !req
95. We love Christmas.
Copy !req
96. And we love the theater.
Copy !req
97. And one of you is here because
I needed you to drive me
Copy !req
98. because my nail polish
wasn't dry yet.
Copy !req
99. So, thanks, Bugs.
Copy !req
100. Actually, I'm here
'cause I understand
Copy !req
101. this is an equity production.
Copy !req
102. As in, guaranteed money?
Copy !req
103. And I also love the theater.
Copy !req
104. Okay, "A Christmas Carol."
Copy !req
105. Now, just a little heads up
before you read the script.
Copy !req
106. I have made a few
teeny, tiny changes.
Copy !req
107. - What are you talking about?
- I rewrote it.
Copy !req
108. - You rewrote a beloved classic?
- Eh, come on.
Copy !req
109. Who could belove a story
about a mean old guy
Copy !req
110. named "Scrooge,"
who hates Christmas?
Copy !req
111. I'm sorry, but that's
not gonna get anybody
Copy !req
112. in the holiday spirit.
Copy !req
113. Bugs, you're gonna play Santa.
Copy !req
114. Uh, Santa's not in
"A Christmas Carol."
Copy !req
115. Well, he's in this version.
Copy !req
116. Mac and Tosh,
you'll play Santa's elves
Copy !req
117. 'Weevil and Beevil.'
Copy !req
118. 'You can decide amongst
yourselves who's who.'
Copy !req
119. - I'll be Weevil.
- I'll be Weevil.
Copy !req
120. - Oh! Then, I'll be Beevil.
- Oh! Then, I'll be Beevil.
Copy !req
121. Do you want me to be Beevil?
Copy !req
122. Only if you don't want
to be Weevil.
Copy !req
123. 'I could easily see
myself as Beevil.'
Copy !req
124. (Tosh)
'But I also think you would
make a fantastic Weevil.'
Copy !req
125. Oh, no one cares!
Copy !req
126. We can't tell you apart, anyway!
Copy !req
127. Here. You're Weevil.
You're Beevil!
Copy !req
128. Now, who am I?
Copy !req
129. You are nightclub
impresario Rick Evans.
Copy !req
130. 'And, Speedy,
you're Manu Ginobili.'
Copy !req
131. The basketball player?
Copy !req
132. Now, Porky, you're gonna
play
a very important part.
Copy !req
133. You will be playing
the role... of Hambone.
Copy !req
134. Ooh!
Copy !req
135. What about my-my-my script?
Copy !req
136. Oh, Hambone doesn't talk.
Copy !req
137. He's a pet pig. He oinks.
Copy !req
138. Well, I guess that's everyone.
Copy !req
139. Oh, no!
Copy !req
140. There's no one
left to play Carol.
Copy !req
141. Who's Carol?
Copy !req
142. Carol? A Christmas Carol?
Copy !req
143. The girl from
the title of the play.
Copy !req
144. Ugh. Poor Charles Dickens.
Copy !req
145. Well, why don't you play Carol?
Copy !req
146. Me? Oh, no.
Copy !req
147. I'm just the writer.
I'm not an actor.
Copy !req
148. Besides, Carol has
a British accent
Copy !req
149. that's essential to the role.
Copy !req
150. And I couldn't possibly capture
the many layers of Carol's
Copy !req
151. intricate personality.
Copy !req
152. The highs and the lows
of her journey.
Copy !req
153. 'Her desperation, her fear,
her strength, her courage.'
Copy !req
154. She's a temptress. Ooh, but
she's shy, almost coquettish.
Copy !req
155. How could I capture
her volatility?
Copy !req
156. Oh-hoo-hoo.
Copy !req
157. And she's so funny.
Copy !req
158. Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?
Copy !req
159. Mm-hmm.
You have to be Weevil.
Copy !req
160. Spoken like a true Beevil.
Copy !req
161. If you think rewriting
"A Christmas Carol"
Copy !req
162. is a bad idea,
heh, well, I believe
Copy !req
163. I can show you a worse one.
Copy !req
164. (Foghorn)
'We're almost over
the North Pole.'
Copy !req
165. - 'It's time to jump!'
- What?
Copy !req
166. We can't land a big ol' plane
like this on that ice.
Copy !req
167. Are you out of your mind?
Whoa!
Copy !req
168. (Foghorn)
'There, I say,
there goes the fan.'
Copy !req
169. Come on, boy!
Copy !req
170. Aah!
Copy !req
171. - Aah!
- Aah!
Copy !req
172. I say, "Aah!"
Copy !req
173. (Yosemite)
'Oh, I don't know about you'
Copy !req
174. but I read the script.
Copy !req
175. It ain't worth
the air conditioner.
Copy !req
176. Okay, everyone.
We're starting rehearsal.
Copy !req
177. We have got a town
full of people out there
Copy !req
178. who have lost
the Christmas spirit
Copy !req
179. and I believe the only chance
we have of getting it back
Copy !req
180. is to put on
a flawless production
Copy !req
181. of an almost
unrecognizable version
Copy !req
182. of "A Christmas Carol."
Copy !req
183. Places, everyone!
Copy !req
184. Ahem-hmm.
Copy !req
185. Oh, Hambone, it looks like it's
just you and me this Christmas.
Copy !req
186. Oink.
Copy !req
187. Is that how you're gonna do it?
Copy !req
188. Oink, oink?
Copy !req
189. Yeah, you're gonna
need to work on that.
Copy !req
190. Meanwhile, at the North Pole
Copy !req
191. or about 70 miles
South of there.
Copy !req
192. - Uh, I quit.
- What?
Copy !req
193. My sense of adventure
has been surpassed
Copy !req
194. by my sense of tiredness
and overall out-of-shapedness!
Copy !req
195. Ugh. Uh.
Copy !req
196. You can't quit now.
Copy !req
197. - You'll freeze to death.
- Then, it's my time.
Copy !req
198. According to my research, it's
the most pleasant way to go.
Copy !req
199. You're just like
the rest of 'em.
Copy !req
200. When the going gets tough,
you just give up.
Copy !req
201. Boo hoo! It's too hot
to celebrate Christmas.
Copy !req
202. Boo hoo! It's too cold
at the North Pole.
Copy !req
203. Boo hoo, I'm too tired
to help a rooster
Copy !req
204. pull a 6000-pound crate
Copy !req
205. 70 miles and build a giant fan.
Copy !req
206. Well, then, go ahead
and freeze, boy.
Copy !req
207. I'm not givin' up on Christmas.
Copy !req
208. Unh! Ugh.
Copy !req
209. But sometimes,
even the coldest heart
Copy !req
210. can be warmed by
the Christmas spirit.
Copy !req
211. Unh!
Copy !req
212. I say, unh!
Copy !req
213. Huh?
Copy !req
214. Aha!
Copy !req
215. knock knock
Copy !req
216. - Are you Carol?
- Yes. Who are you?
Copy !req
217. - We're Santa's elves.
- We're Santa's elves.
Copy !req
218. Santa Claus is missing.
Copy !req
219. You must come with us
to the North Pole
Copy !req
220. and take his place.
Copy !req
221. But why me?
Copy !req
222. Because you are his daughter.
Copy !req
223. Santa Claus is my father?
Copy !req
224. That answers so many questions
Copy !req
225. yet, raises so many
additional questions.
Copy !req
226. I know what I must do.
Copy !req
227. It is crystal clear to me.
Copy !req
228. I have to..
Line?
Copy !req
229. I have to go with you
to the North Pole.
Copy !req
230. I have to go with you to the..
Copy !req
231. - Line?
- To the North Pole.
Copy !req
232. Oh, yeah. I have to go
with you to the North..
Copy !req
233. - Pole.
- I didn't say "line."
Copy !req
234. Eh, I know my line.
Copy !req
235. Heh, sheesh.
Copy !req
236. 'Line?'
Copy !req
237. beep beep
Copy !req
238. Huh! We're there!
Copy !req
239. I say, we're there!
Copy !req
240. We're at the North Pole.
Copy !req
241. Whoo-hoo! We made it!
Copy !req
242. - Ahh!
- Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
243. I always knew we'd make it.
Copy !req
244. Except for that one time
I laid down in the snow to die.
Copy !req
245. But all the rest of the
time,
I knew we'd make it.
Copy !req
246. Well, not that one time
when I tried to kill you
Copy !req
247. so that I could climb inside
your carcass for warmth
Copy !req
248. 'but then realized
how hard it would be'
Copy !req
249. 'to clean out your carcass'
Copy !req
250. so, instead, I just laid down
Copy !req
251. for a second time
in the snow to die.
Copy !req
252. But every other time,
I always knew we would make it.
Copy !req
253. - Whoo-hoo!
- Yeah!
Copy !req
254. - Whoo-hoo!
- Yeah!
Copy !req
255. Whoo-hoo! I say, Whoo!
Copy !req
256. Unh! That ought to do it.
Copy !req
257. (male narrator)
But even the best laid plans
of ducks and roosters
Copy !req
258. often go awry.
Copy !req
259. Mm-hmm. I say, Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
260. - What?
- Where are we gonna plug it in?
Copy !req
261. Plug it in?
We have to plug it in?
Copy !req
262. We're in the middle of nowhere!
Copy !req
263. You didn't think about
this before we left?
Copy !req
264. Why do I keep getting
involved with you?
Copy !req
265. It's that limo. I keep
getting tricked by that limo.
Copy !req
266. W-W-S-D. W-W-S-D.
Copy !req
267. What are you muttering?
Copy !req
268. W-W-S-D. What Would Santa Do?
Copy !req
269. It's something I ask myself
when I need guidance.
Copy !req
270. Huh! That's it!
Copy !req
271. - What?
- We'll plug it in.
Copy !req
272. I say, we'll plug it in
in Santa's workshop.
Copy !req
273. It's gotta be around
here somewhere.
Copy !req
274. So, you want us to just
wander around the North Pole
Copy !req
275. hoping to bump into Santa Claus?
Copy !req
276. What's the worst
that could happen?
Copy !req
277. Now, it's Christmas Eve.
Copy !req
278. Carol and the gang have gathered
to confront Rick Evans.
Copy !req
279. Welcome to the bungalow room.
Copy !req
280. ID, please.
Copy !req
281. Where is Santa Claus?
Copy !req
282. How should I know?
Copy !req
283. I'm an innocent nightclub owner.
Copy !req
284. Well, if Rick Evans didn't
kidnap Santa, then..
Copy !req
285. - Line.
- Then where is he?
Copy !req
286. Wow, do you have the whole,
entire play memorized?
Copy !req
287. Unfortunately.
Copy !req
288. Well, if Rick Evans
didn't kidnap Santa
Copy !req
289. then where is he?
Copy !req
290. Ho ho ho.
Copy !req
291. - 'Santa!'
- 'Santa!'
Copy !req
292. Where have you been?
Copy !req
293. We were so worried about you.
Copy !req
294. I must have lost track of time.
Copy !req
295. I guess I know what I should
give myself for Christmas.
Copy !req
296. A watch.
Copy !req
297. Oh, ha ha ha! Santa.
Copy !req
298. I mean... dad.
Copy !req
299. The end!
Copy !req
300. Oh, you guys, I'm so excited.
Copy !req
301. This is gonna be
the best version
Copy !req
302. of "A Christmas Carol" ever.
Copy !req
303. Is it just me,
or is this play bad?
Copy !req
304. Like, really, really bad?
Copy !req
305. swoosh
Copy !req
306. We have to take cover, boy!
Copy !req
307. I think I see it!
Copy !req
308. Santa's workshop!
Copy !req
309. No, you've got hypothermia!
Copy !req
310. You're hallucinatin',
I say, you're hallucinatin'.
Copy !req
311. I'm coming, Santa!
Copy !req
312. (Santa)
Looking for some place
to plug that in?
Copy !req
313. Santa?
Copy !req
314. beep beep
Copy !req
315. You look cold. Why don't you
take a seat by the fire?
Copy !req
316. slurp
Copy !req
317. You're so snuggly, Santa.
Copy !req
318. beep beep
Copy !req
319. So, you're saying you installed
the giant fan at the North Pole
Copy !req
320. and that any minute, it's gonna
start blowing in winter weather?
Copy !req
321. I'm not the kind of rooster
to say I told you so
Copy !req
322. but I told you so.
Heh-heh-heh-heh.
Copy !req
323. - How'd you do it?
- We had a little help.
Copy !req
324. You probably know him
as Father Christmas
Copy !req
325. Saint Nick, the captain..
Copy !req
326. But I call him Santa Claus.
Copy !req
327. And I've got him on tape.
Copy !req
328. beep beep
Copy !req
329. Santa?
Copy !req
330. You're so snuggly, Santa.
Copy !req
331. I sat on the lap
of a polar bear?
Copy !req
332. I told you
you was hallucinatin'.
Copy !req
333. Then I guess I didn't
plug the fan in, either.
Copy !req
334. I'll make the next one
battery-operated.
Copy !req
335. Next one?
Copy !req
336. This is it. We did it.
Copy !req
337. It's Christmas Eve
and we have a packed house.
Copy !req
338. 'Cause of the air conditioner.
Copy !req
339. I just want to thank you all for
your hard work and dedication
Copy !req
340. which I believe, is the true
meaning of Christmas.
Copy !req
341. Group hug.
Copy !req
342. (Porky)
'Hoo hoo hoo!'
Copy !req
343. (Lola)
'Oh, this seems like
a good time to tell'
Copy !req
344. 'everyone about
the trap door I put in.'
Copy !req
345. Trust me,
it will make our entrances
Copy !req
346. and exits much more dramatic.
Copy !req
347. How do we ge-get out?
Copy !req
348. W-We're gonna suffocate.
Copy !req
349. Ooh, I've heard that's
the most pleasant way to go.
Copy !req
350. I've heard that, too.
Copy !req
351. But it's not gonna come to that.
Copy !req
352. Bugs will get us out.
Copy !req
353. Bugs! Bugs!
Copy !req
354. Hello?
Copy !req
355. - 'We're down here.'
- Lola?
Copy !req
356. Bugs, we fell through my
trap door and we're stuck.
Copy !req
357. Trap door?
Copy !req
358. thud thud thud
Copy !req
359. - Unh! How does it open?
- Yeah, I don't know.
Copy !req
360. I think I might have focused
too much on the trap part
Copy !req
361. and not enough on the door part.
Copy !req
362. thud thud
Copy !req
363. It won't budge.
Copy !req
364. What are we going to do?
The play starts in one minute.
Copy !req
365. You'll have to tell everyone
the play is cancelled.
Copy !req
366. But you've worked so hard.
Copy !req
367. Well, there's
nothing else we can do.
Copy !req
368. And at that moment
Copy !req
369. Bugs Bunny found
the Christmas spirit.
Copy !req
370. Too bad he didn't
also find a better script.
Copy !req
371. Oh, Hambone, it looks like it's
just you and me this Christmas.
Copy !req
372. oink oink oink
Copy !req
373. Ha ha ha! Hambone.
Copy !req
374. You're such a funny pig.
Copy !req
375. - 'Oink.'
- 'Ha ha ha!'
Copy !req
376. Hey, look. "A Christmas Carol."
Copy !req

one of my favorite plays.
Copy !req
378. Never heard of it.
Copy !req
379. thump thump thump
Copy !req
380. Where is Santa Claus?
Copy !req
381. Well, how should I know?
Copy !req
382. I'm an innocent nightclub owner.
Copy !req
383. Well, if Rick Evans
didn't kidnap Santa
Copy !req
384. then where is he?
Copy !req
385. creaks
Copy !req
386. 'No!'

Copy !req
389. There's no ending.
Copy !req
390. - Ho ho ho!
- Santa?
Copy !req
391. I know what you're all thinkin'.
Copy !req
392. This is the worst
Christmas play you've ever seen.
Copy !req
393. And I can't say I disagree.
Copy !req
394. 'But it took a lot of effort
to put on a play this bad'
Copy !req
395. 'and if there's one thing
that's worth the effort..'
Copy !req
396. '... it's Christmas.'
Copy !req
397. Look, I know it's a lot of work
Copy !req
398. tying the tree
to the top of your car
Copy !req
399. and then draggin' it inside.
Copy !req
400. Pine needles goin' everywhere.
Copy !req
401. Packin' up the car and driving
six hours to grandma's house.
Copy !req
402. But these are the things
that bring us all together.
Copy !req

unrecognizable version
Copy !req

Copy !req
406. The whole town is here.
Copy !req
407. Yes, I know that
Christmas isn't easy
Copy !req

Copy !req
409. Now, if you'll excuse me
Copy !req
410. I've got to deliver presents
Copy !req
411. to every boy and girl on Earth.
Copy !req
