[Buddy and Santa are conversing in the workshop with all the elves spectating]

So, I hear you're going on a little journey to the big city.

Yup. Ahh. I'm kind a nervous. [Santa chuckles] Leon says New York is pretty different.

Santa

Oh, don't pay attention to Leon. He's never been anywhere. He doesn't have any feet. I've been to New York thousands of times.

Really?

Santa

Mm-hmm.

What's it like?

Santa

Well, there are some things you should know. First off, you see gum on the street, Leave it there. It's not free candy.

Oh.

Santa

Second, there are, like, 30 Ray's Pizzas. They all claim to be the original, but the real one's on the 11th. And if you see a sign that says "Peep Show," that doesn't mean that They're letting you look at presents before Christmas.

Can't wait to see my dad... we're gonna go ice skating and... and eat sugar plums.

Santa

Yeah, that's the other thing I wanted to talk to you about. You know, Buddy... [sighs] your father... well... he's on the Naughty List.

[Face comes absolutely aghast]

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! [Camera races to highlight of Walter Hobbs on the "naughty" page of Santa's book]

Santa

Listen, some people, they just lose sight of what's important in life. That doesn't mean they can't find their way again, huh? Maybe all they need is just a little Christmas spirit.

[All the elves cheer]

Well, uh, I... I'm good at that.

Santa

I know you are.

[Papa Elf hands Buddy a snowglobe of Empire State Building, representing Walter's office location]

And I'll... I'll always, uh, I'll always be here for you. Now, uh... Go... uh, get.

Bye, guys.

Arctic Puffin

Bye, buddy. Take care.

Santa, why are they chasing us?

Santa

I put them on the Naughty List and they never forgave me.
