Santa--
I can take it from here. [to Carol] Santa was always there for you. And I will be, as long as you continue to believe in me. I know I'm asking you to leave everything at home, but I can guarantee you that this is worth it. This place... This place is all about magic and love... and wonder. And occasionally, a thin-crust pizza and a movie and a long winter night.
Carol Is there a school here?
Yeah, we have one, a school, the elves need a new principal. Cause as of late some of the elves have been acting a bit impish. Carol, I love you.

Good morning, Principal Newman.
Carol Mr. Picardo, I want you to look into my eyes. What do you see?
It's dark... and it's cold.
Carol It's your future, Mr. Picardo. Keep this up, and you will spend the rest of your life stabbing trash by the highway. Do I make myself clear?
Yes.
Carol So, what are you going to do?
I'm going straight to 3rd-period geometry.
Carol Have a nice trip.
OK, Chet. This is it. You ready to rock and roll?

You do?
Yeah, I do.
I love yours.
You do?
Yeah, I do. I've never seen anything like it.
Oh, you're so adorable. You divine little kitten you. [woofs flirtatiously; Sylvia giggles] I bet you can sing.
No, no, no, no, no.
Oh, come on, I bet you can sing.
Mmm, a little.
I knew it! I knew it! Sing something for me.
What do you want to hear?
How about [singing] chestnuts roasting on an open fire.
No, no. Go back to the other line, the one before the first one.
Ooh, it gives me the chills.
Oh, what a lyric! [Carol walks in]
Carol Hey, guys, what's going on?
Your mother is fabulous! [Sylvia playfully pinches his nose] Would you like to be my elf?
Huh?
You heard me.
Carol All right, class, if a reindeer leaves Elfsburg flying west at 20 miles per hour, and another reindeer flies east traveling at 50 miles per hour, how many hours does it take for them to be 210 miles apart? Anyone? Anyone? [one elf raises her hand] Trish.
Trish How come we can't learn the things we want to learn?
Carol Like what?
Trish Like, wasn't it weird when you married Santa, and had to move all the way up to the Pole and give up your old life, Mrs. Claus?
Carol Weirder than you can possibly imagine. But then something so gigantic happened that it changed Santa and me forever.
Trish Like what?
Carol Okay.
