Don't you believe in Santa Claus?
B.Z. Why should I? He never brought me anything.
That's because you were probably a naughty boy.
B.Z. Yes. I guess I was... no angel.

Scenes with B.Z.
4 scenes B.Z. B.Z. [Patch is telling B.Z. about the special Christmas product he intends to make]
"If you give extra kisses, you get bigger hugs."
B.Z. Sorry?
That's what Santa's wife's always saying. [chuckles awkwardly] Anyway, that's all the advertising you'll ever need.
B.Z. It better be. How many workers does this, uh, product require?
Just me.
B.Z. What? No payroll?
Well, my needs are small: a bowl of stew, heavy on the dill, a cold place to sleep--
B.Z. What will it cost?
B.Z. The people who...who buy the toy.
Well, nothing; we're going to give them away free.
[B.Z's face turns beet red and he looks ready to burst] [intrigued]
Oh! Oh, that's fantastic! How do you make your face so red so fast?
B.Z. FOR FREE?!?!?!
Well, that's how we do it at the North Pole--
B.Z WELL, THAT'S NOT HOW WE DO IT HERE, IN A FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM!!!
B.Z. When you've got a hit like we have, Patch, the people don't wanna wait a whole year, they're dying for a sequel! A sequel. That's it. We'll bring it out on March 25, and we'll call it... Christmas II!
Christmas II?
B.Z. Are you going soft on me?
