Spencer Y'know what, then let's just go, okay?
Spencer Then get on Santa's lap.
[screaming]
I DON'T WANNA!
MS Mall Santa
Ho Ho Ho. Somebody's not being a very good girl. I might have to put coal in your stocking this year.
[Katherine falls down to the floor and cries]
Spencer [While waiting for news about their flight to Pennsylvania, Katherine makes a dejected face]
Oh no, did you bite your tongue again?
When I wrote to Santa, I forgot to tell him that we were gonna be at Dad's house, and it's all the way in Pennsylvania! How is he gonna find us now?
Spencer Oh, you mean that Santa guy that you're scared of? Him? I mean, he's not even gonna... [Katherine looks worried. Spencer sighs] He'll find you. The Tooth fairy gave him directions. She works with NORAD.
[Katherine sighs in relief]
Spencer [Upon seeing the chaotic UM room]
Oh man, it's like "Lord of the Flies" in here.
FA Flight Attendant #1
Help us!
FA Flight Attendant #2
Zach, we're flight attendants, not riot police - You've got to find someone else to take over!
Z Zach
You guys, there is no one else. The storm is huge! Just think of it like being in the air, okay? With a normal passenger load, and secure all exit, and, y'know, discourage anybody from going to the restroom.
[The flight attendants run out of the UM room]
Spencer Yeah, well, she wouldn't drive two-thousand miles to pick us up. [dodges a candy wrapper]
Spencer Oh, yeah. He wouldn't drive four feet to get us!
Spencer I would like a table for one in the "no little sisters" section, please.
Aren't you a little young to be flying by yourself?
Spencer Not at all.
Spencer Nachos! My mom never lets me eat those, you know, so an order of those. She's banned all sodas from the house, so extra-, extra-, extra-large root beer.
My mom never let me eat mozzarella sticks.
Spencer Mine either. Two orders. On to dessert, huh?
You don't have a tapeworm, do you?
Please tell me you're gonna stop at the hotel!
Spencer Yeah, we are, but you're not!
[putting her glasses on]
Once a dork, always a dork.
Spencer You are so not a dork.
Spencer [speaking on the walkie-talkie]
Hey, guys. Thanks for all the help with my sister. You know, I'm sorry that all your Christmases have to be ruined... because of me. We probably won't see each other again after our flights leave, so I just... wanted to say that I had a really good time, and that I think we make a pretty awesome family. Maybe the thing is, it's just none of our families are meant to stay together... you know? Maybe that's it. Except for you, Grace.
[hesitantly]
Actually, that's not totally true.
I thought your parents weren't divorced?
Well, not from each other, but... they sort of divorced me.
Spencer [confused]
What do you mean?
They just don't seem to like it when I'm around... That's why they travel all the time. They're in Paris right now.
Spencer So, is that where you're going?
No. I'm already home; I live twenty minutes from here. I flew in today from boarding school. I figured it'd be more fun hanging out at the airport, than sitting at home with my nanny. She wanted Christmas off anyway...
...Now I'm really depressed.
