You make it through Christmas without three strikes, I send back a positive report.
But I assure you, this is a story you have never heard before.
Whoa, okay.
Come on. I'm not gonna go running to Mom.
- ...and I don't for good reason. - It would be really nice if, for once...
Nick, I couldn't miss you if I tried.
What are you doing? Get out of my... GABE GET OUT OF MY ROOM!
...with banana handlebars.
Yeah.
- Allergies. - He's got a gun.
Then help some of these people out this year.
I need it by the 22nd. The best I can do.
Fred loved Nicholas from the first moment he met him.
- He's just helping out for the season. - I didn't know you had a brother.
I wouldn't go telling people that.
Oh, I'll tell you, Fred has been doing a bang-up job...
And like many unhappy children...
The only way I can hold it. People are breathing down my neck.
- Wanda, hi. - Hi. You all right?
Good Lord.
Get it through your head. I am not going to dinner.
- He's gonna be a big help here. - How you doing? Be working with you.
...the North Pole will be shut down forever. There's nothing--
The world is what you make it.
- Nick? - Fred.
You take an interest in your brother's well-being.
He's an efficiency expert.
He's a fame junkie. The guy's a clown.
I'll take both of them. Whatever. Merry Christmas to you.
As you can see from the chart labeled 116-9C...
- Going as fast as I can! Tell me when to turn! - Now!
- Come on, we're still 15 blocks from the-- - Just pull the cab over, please.
Willie.
Come on.
And some of them don't feel listened to.
Put you in the Naughty cabinet. You can't handle yourself.
Now, you probably already have your suspicions of what became of Saint Nick.
Shut up down there. People are trying to sleep.
It's too huge. Believe me, I know. Heh. Heh.
And then Rocky came out, and, uh, things changed, you know?
Plasma goes to my place. Pack it separately, make sure it doesn't scratch.
Wait, wait, wait a second, Fred.
- Aye, aye, captain. - Captain's on deck.
Time to cut the cake.
It's always, uh, painful to watch a guy crash and burn, my man.
- Yeah. - Hmm. You're not making this up?
Absolutely, it's a hot spot. Think romance, and think getting lost.
I was the first guy in line. I mean, I was there.
Hey, DJ.
Wonderful. Thanks for sharing, Frank.
Can I see some identification, please?
- ...I'll be the happiest guy in the North Pole. - You don't have the guts.
Ho,ho,ho.
You know something? You've never come up here to visit.
To think that he can fly around to a million houses in one night...
- Come on, Nick. - Aaarggh!
Mr. Northcutt, part of Christmas is being grateful for the things that we can have.
Stop playing the same song over and over again. It becomes like mental torture.
The Christmas thing is taking off. That's awesome.
It's all right.
Frederick, why are you so upset?
Annette was right about you. Mom was right about you.
I gave you $5000. Merry Christmas.
I really, really need your help.
Nick, he continued to play the same song over and over and over and over and over...
I have a feeling I'd be much more comfortable back in my little hut...
All of a sudden, you get a little extra money. Uncle Sam's none the wiser.
To be honest, I don't get many houseguests. Heh-heh.
But then get on with your life. It's getting a bit...
Charlene's as good with numbers as she is beautiful.
Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Mazel tov.
You Scrooge, you lose.
Give a call when you get a chance, as soon as possible. Okay?
Great. Put another hand here. Come on, grip it. Don't be shy.
Feel like my brother's Santa Claus.
What're you doing? Get out of my favorite room!. Get out of my favorite room!. What're you doing? Get out of my favorite room!. Get out of my favorite room!.
Just give me a second. I'll deal with you in a minute. Don't crowd my action.
...and then it's one minute past midnight, tomorrow begins and then it is my birthday.
- What kind of greeting is that? - Excuse the guys...
It is, but, Fred, that's not what the kids asked for. That's not okay. That is not okay. It is, but, Fred, that's not what the kids asked for. That's not okay. That is not okay.
Oh. Well, I appreciate your concern, Mr. Northcutt, but he is fine.
Okay, Wanda, I just wanted to get a chance to come by and explain.
Y'all drank all the Kool-Aid, fools.
Uh, I mean, they've never sent an efficiency expert before. Why now?
If you can come in here, relaxed, and be a gentleman, then you can come in.
Oh, that sounds familiar, Bons-- Bonsai Palace.
I'm great. Pull up a stool.
I just got a lot on my mind is all.
I'm trying to-- Hold on!
But while Fred grew worse...
Look, this is a business situation that I'm in with my brother.
- Clyde-- - You ever seen a tree...
So just the one bag? Just the one canyon? I'll get it.
Right down the crapper!
Um, let's see, was it something like, uh:
Everyone, this is Mr. Northcutt.
That's it, just a gentle rock back and forth. Just easy.
...and, yeah.
You didn't have to travel by helicopter, Mr. Northcutt.
...you're gonna go out trying.
Oh, ho, ho, Annette.
Nick, let me be completely honest with you here, the DJ is a real problem.
