The Night My Dad Saved Christmas 2 (2025) Movie Script

1
[upbeat Christmas song
playing on the radio]
Jingle bells. Jingle bells
[female radio host] Hello,
and good morning! The time is 8:00 a.m.
And we're kicking this day off
with all the energy!
Time sure flies, doesn't it?
It's already December,
which can only mean one thing.
Christmas is right around the corner.
We're waking up to clear skies
and cool temperatures today,
which is perfect for getting everyone
into the Christmas spirit.
The lights are already
twinkling across the city,
the smell of hot chocolate is in the air,
and the carols, well
We've been hearing them for weeks now.
But finally, we're in Christmas mode!
[Salva] Lucas, breakfast!
Yep, it's hard to believe, but it's me
Salva Molina.
The same guy who had a rap sheet
longer than Don Quixote.
Not that long ago,
I'd have beer and some olives
for breakfast at noon.
But since I saved Christmas
a couple years back,
and well, Santa's ass along with it,
I am officially a good person!
-My boy!
-Dad!
-Morning, Lucas!
-[smooch]
Hey, come on, let's eat!
And even more importantly,
now I'm a real stand-up dad.
Thanks, Dad. It's really good.
Hey, this is the breakfast of champions!
Protein and nutrients and all that stuff
you should be eating.
Let's make a toast. Cheers.
The new Salva
spends quality time with his son.
[both chuckle]
[Salva] Together at home.
Yo, again with the jam, dude?
I keep telling you,
savory in the mornings! Mmm.
[Salva] Well, okay,
we're at my buddy Rafita's place
But it won't be for long.
Because I finally have a job that I like.
And it's all legit, too!
Like I said, I'm a good boy now.
[Christmas carol stops abruptly]
Hey you, worker-boy!
That thing needs polishing, ya hear?
And you better not try to stop
until it shines like gold!
Get my lunch, too!
And, hey! Chicken breast sandwiches!
Yeah, not the chorizo one.
Because I just got into fitness.
Fitness! Exercise, working out,
not that you'd know about that.
Come on now, fitness. One, two. One, two.
[Salva] I mean it's not perfect.
Sometimes it's hard not to just say,
"Screw it all."
All the sacrifices are worth it
as long as my son is happy,
and he can be proud of his dad.
Ah! There's my son.
[whistles loudly]
Lucas!
What up, Dad!
You're here!
[Salva guffaws]
How did school go today?!
Worse than work without pay!
How did your day go?!
[robotic voice]
My job is a bummer and I hate it so!
-[both laugh]
-[Salva] Oh, hey Whatcha got there?
-Huh? What?
-[Salva] What is that right there?
[gasps] Will you look at that?!
It's two tickets
to see Home Alone tonight!
For a special screening!
My favorite movie, Dad!
-The best surprise ever!
-[Salva laughs]
[Salva] I've never been so happy.
And the best part is the most
wonderful time of the year is coming.
Christmas!
-[upbeat Christmas music playing]
-[fire crackling]
DECEMBER 17TH
DECEMBER 18TH
Ho, ho, ho! Time to wake up, little elves!
Because there's only one week
left until Christmas arrives!
A new day is beginning
Let's get to work right away
We'll do it all with joy and cheer
Christmas is on the way!
No, wait, stop!
You guys call that
happiness and joy and cheer?! Huh?
-[elves gasp]
-[Santa laughs]
Looks like we need a good dose
of Christmas spirit around here!
Ho, ho, ho!
[upbeat swing-style
Christmas music playing]
There's gonna be fun
There's gonna be sun
Join the party
It's just begun
There's going to be smiles
Oh my, it's almost Christmas
There's going to be laughs
There's going to be lights
Beautiful stories by the fire
Ho, ho, ho!
Wonderful life
Oh my, it's almost Christmas
There's gonna be skies
And laughs
And all the stars above
Are smiling at me
While shining on a Christmas tree
There's going to be kisses
Until wishes
And everything around will shine
[swing-style
Christmas saxophone melody playing]
There's gonna be you
There's gonna be me
There's gonna be moon
There's gonna be thrills
Wherever I turn
I'm feeling lovely happiness
I really can't wait
For all the things that
We'll do together
You and I
It's almost Christmastime
-[music stops]
-[cheers happily]
-[laughs]
-[elves cheering]
That was a very nice little number.
But if we want to be
ready for Christmas Eve,
it's time to get down to business.
Oh, come on, Rami.
You have to be
such a stick in the mud, eh?
There's time to do it all!
Oh, yeah? Well, you still have to
read all those letters in that pile.
[Santa] It's just
Honestly, the kids could send
audio notes, couldn't they?
-[Santa chuckles]
-[Rami grumbles]
[man] Come on, here she comes. Line up!
[woman over PA] In just a few minutes,
Planet Toys will open its doors.
Did you add sugar?
-Yes, yes.
-Great.
[woman over PA] Planet Toys:
A world of toys, a world of fun.
She's so pretty
Ma'am, here, your match a iced latte.
With a little cinnamon,
absolutely no lactose!
-Ugh! Way too sweet, Sebastin.
-I'm sorry, Ma'am.
And where's the report?
The report, come on!
-The staff report. Here it is.
-Why did you have to put sugar?!
Hmm! Too many here.
Five need to go. [laughs]
We already have the designs
for our new Empowerment Doll!
Mm-hmm. Too many curls,
and she's way too short, fix it.
-[Sebastin mutters]
-Hello there!
-Sebastin.
-Yes, what is it?
-Why are they just standing around?
-Good question.
Back to work! Go on! Get those doors open!
You think you work at a DMV?
Christmas is here! [laughs]
-Let's go, Sebastin!
-[Sebastin] Yes, ma'am.
[boss] Good morning. How's everyone doing?
Everything's great, right? I love it.
[sighs]
-Come on!
-Yes, yes [clears throat]
I called you all together urgently
to discuss something that could
change the course of this company forever.
Bravo!
You are all aware that Planet Toys is now
the number one company in the world!
And our products
are the most sought-after gifts
on all the key holidays of the year.
That's all holidays,
yep, except one.
[remote beeps]
CHRISTMAS
[boss] And why aren't we
selling at Christmas?
Because all of you are incompetent?
Of course!
But above all, it's because
of the relentless beast
we've spent
years of our lives looking for.
[remote beeps]
-Oh, Bigfoot!
-No, it's gotta be the Loch Ness!
-No, no, I think it's the Chupacabra.
-It's Elvis, he's alive.
[frustratedly] Shh.
Guys, it's Santa Claus!
Or Kris Kringle,
or whatever you wanna call that fat doofus
who's competed
with toy companies for decades on end.
The kids don't have to buy toys,
because he goes and giv... [gags]
He gives... [gags]
[chokes] Sebastin, you say it.
I can't, I keep on gagging.
-He gives 'em for free.
-[gags and quivers]
And then what do they do
to get those toys? Just "be good"!
It's disgusting.
Several years ago, we launched
a program to geographically locate Santa,
and we have invested
significant time and money into it.
But a few years ago,
at a hospital in Madrid,
there was a miracle that Christmas.
[both laugh wickedly]
Nicholas!
Nicholas!
Nicholas!
[Santa] Hyah!
-[magical whoosh]
-[gasps]
[Santa] Ho, ho, ho!
And don't forget to be good.
He's Santa Claus for real!
The old man wasn't lying!
[gasps]
[epic music]
ARCTIC CIRCLE
Well, luckily for me,
that nurse was one of my second cousins,
and mentioned it to me
at a family reunion.
She's not my favorite cousin.
So I kind of ignored her. But then
[laughs] Isn't that funny?
All that money you invested,
and we get that clue
at your nephew's Communion. [laughs]
Your timing, Sebastin, is always so off.
Sorry.
[remote beeps]
On this card, there are coordinates,
and now we know where he lives.
Now, all we have to do
is execute our plan.
We kidnap ol' Mr. Santa Claus
and we make sure
we never have to compete again!
But the world will wonder
where Santa Claus is.
Allow me to introduce the man
who will replace Santa Claus to the world.
What's up, everyone? [laughs]
-When do I start, boss?
-[nervously] Oh
Hey! Back off, Romeo.
This guy's way too skinny,
he not like Santa at all.
[scoffs] Fella sure likes to talk.
I present to you Mauro Quesada,
an impersonator.
An impersonator?
Please, you guys. I'm an actor.
A truly dedicated method actor who creates
all his characters from the inside.
And plus, you got a real chameleon here!
My acting range is so wide and diverse,
it covers all styles
from classical theater
all the way to the most avant-garde.
Even more importantly,
I have a raw talent for characterization
and in-depth portrayal.
-[thud on table]
-'Kay.
-Well, I think that's been made clear.
-Crystal clear, babe.
-Refocusing here!
-Right. All right.
After Santa's been kidnapped,
all the parents in the world gotta pay up
or their kids
don't get any presents this year.
-[Mauro] Yeah.
-Yes, ma'am, one question.
What does Mr. Anselmo think about this?
Like what kind of question is that,
grandpa?
-My father retired years ago
-Yeah, duh.
I've told you all repeatedly.
Now, I'll finally be able to prove to him
that I can run this place as well as him.
Or better.
-Better.
-Is that quite clear?
[ominous music]
-Sebastin.
-Yep?
Put a coat on,
because you're headed to the North Pole.
You'll see, Christmas is ours.
Yeah!
[jingle bells chiming]
THE NIGHT MY DAD SAVED CHRISTMAS 2
[Santa] Yoo-hoo!
Christmas is almost here,
and you can feel it in the air!
Come on, you guys! You're so out of shape!
Your butts are too big,
you need to work out! Huh? Hyah!
[reindeer bellows energetically]
Come on, Rudolph!
Let's go, Dasher! Go on, Prancer!
Hey, Luis Alberto!
Let's go! You look like a rookie! Hey!
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!
I love Christmas!
Let's do our acrobatics, all right? A 360!
[guffaws]
Let's go!
[laughs and yelps]
Hey! Very good!
I almost tossed my cookies!
All right, let's get cracking.
Now burn those hooves,
like in Fast & Furious!
Hyah! [bursts out laughing]
-[sings teasingly] I don't want to!
-Carlitos, eat your broccoli!
-I don't want to!
-Eat your broccoli and behave.
Or this Christmas, Santa Claus
is gonna give you coal!
Mom, that's just silly.
[mom] You're calling me silly, young man?
You better eat this broccoli if you think
Santa Claus is gonna bring you
everything on that list you made.
The game console, the bike, the scooter
Here we go!
[mom] You want all that stuff?
Eat your broccoli.
Yes, yes.
Broccoli is both tasty and healthy, eh?
-[stomach grumbles]
-That was loud! Man, I'm hungry!
C'mon, let's get back, guys!
There's chorizo mac and cheese,
there's flan and rice pudding,
and tres leches French toast, all waiting!
Away!
[laughs heartily]
-[magical sparkle]
-[continues laughing heartily]
Ho!
Excellent landing, you guys.
We've earned our dinner tonight.
-[laughs]
-[reindeer braying]
Oh, geez Who is that?
Hey there!
Sir, can I help you with something?
Mother of mercy!
It's a human being.
I've walked for twelve hours
and penguins are all I've seen.
By Rudolph's red nose,
my goodness, you're frozen solid!
Uh-huh!
Don't worry, you're safe with us.
But how did you manage to land here?
Well, I was on a guided tour
through the fjords,
and I was distracted at the souvenir shop,
buying, well,
nothing, a fridge magnet.
I collect, you know.
And those folks don't wait for anyone,
so I missed the bus.
So I says to myself, "Since I'm alone,
I'll see the northern lights,"
because I heard they're
glorious to behold.
But now I'm lost, and I can't find them.
Goodness, that story is, uh Kinda long.
But
Well, enjoy.
The northern lights are right here.
Oh! So beautiful, but [stammers]
Oh, geez! My eyelashes are frozen.
-[Santa] Don't worry, come to my workshop.
-[Sebastin] No, no.
Better yet, tell me,
where can I find the closest town?
[Santa] Huh? Hey,
don't put that so close to my face,
I can't see anything.
[Yelps and shouts] What's going on here?
Of all the... [grunts]
The bun is in the oven.
Yeah, the bird is in the cage.
Uh-huh! And the rat is trapped in the Uh
Well, you get it. We have Santa Claus.
-Salva. Come on, bro, please! Salva.
-No, Rafita.
-I'm your friend, help me out!
-You're so annoying. No!
Salva, please, it's gonna be so easy!
We just go in, grab the stuff, and leave.
It'll be easier
than taking candy away from a kid.
No way.
After our adventure with Santa Claus,
I'm living an honest life.
No robberies, I have a job that's legal,
and I pay my all of my taxes.
I recycle, I eat more salad [sighs]
You're pathetic, I mean it.
Did you also start playing shuffleboard?
No shady stuff, Rafita. Come on.
Go! I don't want trouble from my bosses.
It's the simplest job ever!
It's all in there waiting,
unguarded, all like, "Take me, dude!"
It's the not taking it that is a crime.
If I had a dollar for every time
I heard that, I could retire!
You think you'll ever retire
by doing "honest work"?
This is Spain, all right?
-No, Rafita, I said no.
-Okay, well, I say yes.
-It's no!
-It's yes.
-It's yes!
-It's no. [gasps]
What'd you say at the end, man?
-It's no.
-It's yes.
-It's yes.
-It's yes. It's no.
[Ramoncn] "It's yes."
The scum of the earth
is arguing over here!
[both mockingly]
Yes, no. Yes, no. Yes, no.
-What are you an ambulance?
-[both laugh]
Ambulance. [squeals]
You'd rather keep working for these guys
than come with me and rob this spot?
I don't have that many options for work.
Hey, Salva's sidekick! You know,
if you want, we can hire you too, huh?
Look at his arm
flopping around like that, all tired.
-That's gotta get us a tax deduction!
-[both laugh]
My God, Salva, have some dignity,
this Ramoncn guy's your boss.
Yes! That's right, delinquent,
I am his boss. Now, get out!
Hey, hey, hey, I'm no delinquent.
An outsider, yep, I'll take that.
Hey! Hey, that
-That wrench he's got is ours!
-You stole that!
-[Rafita laughs]
-[Ramoncn] Get out!
From your check!
We'll take it out of your check!
-But
-Hey! Back to work!
Yes, boss, okay.
Uh-huh, that's it, Ramoncn!
Okay, kiddos.
All right,
let's all calm down and take our seats.
Gentlemen, gentle...
-Let's take our energy levels down.
-This is gonna be so boring.
Grab your seats and learn,
you little beasts!
Great. And before we start class today,
I have something important to announce.
Have none of you realized that, basically,
exams are an obsolete grading system
that reduces our human complexity
to a simple number?
No, they've realized you're a weirdo,
and they're shipping you
back to Planet Dork.
-Yeah, Supernerd!
-That's it, cheese head!
Good one, dude.
Today we have a new student coming in
who just moved here to our city.
Dude, I hope they don't put her with me.
-Yeah, you and I will be partners.
-I'd like to introduce Ma.
[uplifting music swelling]
[gasps]
[uplifting music fades]
Uh, this seat is free.
Here. Next to me, over here!
This is your seat! [nervous laugh]
-What's up?
-Hi. Anything you need, let me know, okay?
-Lucas, I'm right here.
-Shut it.
Like, anything. If you need a pen,
an eraser, or my heart
-Uh, sorry homework was what I mean.
-Do you always talk so fast, man?
Take that, fool!
[teacher] Diastolic
and systolic pressure
-He's a loser.
-Classic, dude!
-Uh, we have an inside joke.
-You're not getting him back for that?
-Eat this!
-Wow!
-Hey, you guys, shut up!
-That's what you get, bro!
[commotion breaks out]
[Ma] Come on!
Throw it at 'em, go on!
No, come on, please!
It's too early in the week!
It's not even Wednesday yet!
-Oh God, they're gonna kill me by Friday.
-[school bell rings]
We haven't been introduced formally.
I'm Lucas, and this is Rubn,
and he's heading out.
See ya later, Rubn.
Talk to you tomorrow, 'kay, bye now!
-[Rubn] Okay, okay!
-So, you're my Ma?
Not like I think you belong to me,
or you're my girlfriend
Or just that I was
Uh, I like your board thing.
If you're from this century,
you would call it a deck.
Yeah Yeah, I love to skate.
Yeah, I love skateboarding in the morning,
in the afternoon, and then, at night
I fall asleep with it in my arms.
Uh-huh, and when you board,
are you into crashing,
or downhill, or freestyle?
A little of everything, you know?
Triple threat. Yeah, I do it all.
[energetic whistle]
Luquitas!
Ugh, it's my dad.
How did school go today?!
Good. Good. Yeah. Good like always.
But wasn't it worse than work without pay?
No, it really wasn't.
Will you wait outside?
Well, guess how my day went!
[robotic voice] It's still a bummer.
I hate it so. [chuckles]
The robot! Right? With the job?
And he hates it so?
Luquitas, dude, what's the deal?
Nothing, I'm fine. Totally normal.
Well, today is not gonna be normal.
'Cause we're gonna go pick out
our very own Christmas tree, bud!
C'mon, Dad, I'm not a little kid.
And I'll lift you up at home
to put up the star on the tree.
One year I forgot, and you should've seen
the tantrum and the pouting!
"No, Dad! I wanna do it! I do the star!"
[laughs]
Really, I think he got so upset
that he peed himself.
I did not!
He just likes to make things up.
All that He was lying.
C'mon, please, Dad. I'm with a friend.
I'm sorry, I was being rude, dear.
What if we go together,
and play at a game center!
Uh No, no, no.
Uh, that sounds rad, thanks a lot,
but, uh Nah. See you later.
[shrugs]
Hey, before we leave,
can you pick that up, Dad?
-What's that?
-My dignity.
'Cause you left it
dying there on the floor.
Lucas, I didn't get that...
That's the problem,
you don't get anything.
What happened? I don't get it.
[mischievous music playing]
[clears throat and groans]
Where is this?
What a headache, gosh.
This is worse than a hangover
from elf punch! [groans]
Anyone in here?
-[door bolt clanks open]
-Huh?
Who is that?
Did you bring me here?
Those Three Wise Guys sent you, huh?
Those mobsters on camels, right?
No.
I'm a humble businesswoman
from a multinational,
leading toy conglomerate
who's done losing.
I don't understand.
Losing? What are you losing?
Don't act like you don't know.
You're not paying any business taxes,
you're an independent contractor!
Your elves are employees,
and you're not getting charged for them.
Everything I do is so good children
always get their presents.
[mockingly] "So good children
always get their dumb presents."
This year it won't matter
if they've been bad or good.
The only important thing is having
the money to buy them.
-And buying them from me.
-[door opens]
That goes against the spirit of Christmas.
And the magic. All the good feelings.
Give me back my magic hat.
No! [bursts out laughing]
How can you possibly act so cynical?
I mean, were you never a child?
A child who woke up excited
on Christmas morning,
and ran in to see what I had
put for you underneath the tree?
Have you sincerely
forgotten about your inner child?
["Lacrimosa" by Mozart playing]
[girl] "Dear Santa Claus,
This year, I was very good!
And for that reason, I'd like to ask you
for a new teddy bear,
handmade by your elves."
Let's see here.
Honey, we don't send letters to Santa
from this house, are we clear?
That man is our competition.
And we crush the competition.
But please, please, please, Daddy.
All of my friends write to Santa.
And I want to do it for Christmas, too.
Honey, all your friends are idiots,
you need to know.
But one day, my business will be yours,
and you'll learn toys are not donated.
Toys are sold to earn money, okay?
-And this thing Bye-bye!
-[magical chime]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Don't be trying that.
'Kay? This is not about me,
and what you didn't leave under the tree!
And the important thing here is that you,
sir, are finally done.
No, no, not a chance.
You haven't thought about the children.
They won't accept Christmas
without their hero.
[scoffs] And they will have their hero.
Mauro!
Hey!
-[gasps]
-[Mauro] What's up, gramps?
[nervously] But I But I I don't
[whimsical mystery music playing]
[Santa grunts]
[Mauro snickers]
[Santa grunts]
Ho, ho, ho!
Ha, ha, ha!
-[boss winces]
-It's just, the "ho, ho" thing.
I don't have that down yet.
Use your solar plexus, you know? Ho-ho...!
Wait a minute! Who do you think you are?!
Mauro Quesada. Pleasure.
He's such a great actor,
willing to join us all for the cause.
You're nothing but an impostor!
A fraud! You're a A...!
Ooh, one of the best actors in the world,
at the moment.
And I'm an expert at impersonations,
my man.
You wanna see one? Check this out.
[in a surfer accent]
"What's shakin', cat? Huh?"
"You want a wine cooler
with some bread and butter?"
[in a French accent]
"Or would you like a nice white
with some sea snails
and a captain's platter?"
"Why I oughta!"
"[in an Italian accent] I want some
sausage with garlic bread and marinara!"
[laughs] Nailed it, right?
-You are just a marvel.
-[laughs] Thanks a lot.
But we gotta get you to the North Pole
before they find out Santa's missing.
-Sure!
-You won't get away with this, you can't!
Oh, really? I can't?
Well, look. One step.
Another step.
Oh, hey! It appears that I can after all!
I won't allow you to trick the children!
[grunts]
You won't keep me locked up here!
I've gotten into houses with the most
sophisticated security systems.
I've slid down some of
the skinniest chimneys in the world!
And I can do about anything
with my magic hat.
-Yeah, you wish! You mean this hat?
-[both laugh]
Give that back now!
The rest of your life will be spent
forgotten in that sarcophagus.
-No!
-Just like Louis XIV!
-[Santa grunts]
-Or, wait, the Count of Monte Cristo!
-[Santa] Let me go, you villains!
-Except a little fatter.
-Maybe you wanna lose that belly?
-No! No!
-[both laugh wickedly]
-Psst! Hey, listen.
I can give those little gnomes
a message if you like.
Elves! Understand?
-They are elves!
-Yeah, right, whatever you say.
-And, game, set, match.
-[Mauro laughs wickedly]
[boss laughs wickedly]
[ominous music playing]
We are all so happy and so joyful
We love to eat candy and cake
We are all so happy and so joyful
Making toys for Santa to take
-Hi there, Santa!
-Hello there, Santa!
Oh, my God!
What a mansion. Goodness! [chuckles]
Well, isn't this
a charming little country house.
Oh, how adorable!
[scoffs] They're like little mushrooms.
What are you guys? The Minions?
The Littles? Where are all your shelves?
[laughs] Way too small to make a meal.
[laughs]
I had a gnome on the lawn
that was taller than you.
How can you say that, sir?!
And your little ears, uh
Do those get Wi-Fi?
Are you okay, Santa?
You're acting unusual.
Well, look who's finally here.
So you did decide to come for dinner.
Where have you been?
I was scared that something
had happened to you out there!
Hmm. Sorry, who are you? Grumpy Smurf?
It's Rami, your foreman for centuries.
How about a little bit of respect, huh?
Hey, chill, Ramen. I was playing!
-Rami.
-Uh Yeah, that.
[sniffs and gasps]
You can smell that too, right? It's
It's that deer smell, it lingers hard.
You've been drinking.
No, uh, I
I was training with Rudolph and
And all the other The deer.
-The reindeer.
-That, yeah.
Uh Well, all right,
less speaking, more working.
You know what you have to do.
Come on, who's in charge here?
Me or you? Of course I know that.
The stuff, y'know,
the usual Santa Claus type of thing.
Everything that I usually The
You read the millions of letters
that you have left?
Ah, that's right. See, I told you I knew.
I've been doing this for centuries!
But I think that, first, I'd
I'd like to get situated,
and you can get something for me to eat.
Come on, Ramen, go ahead.
But
[urban music playing through headphones]
[muffled] Lucas.
[muffled] Hey, Lucas!
Lucas!
You don't even knock? I need privacy!
I did knock, but you couldn't hear,
your headphones are on.
Huh?
You can't hear me with your headphones on!
You don't gotta yell.
What are you wearing?
I told you to let me know
if you were doing a play at your school.
So, what's your part, huh?
Are you playing a clown?
No. This is my new look.
I was going for street.
You won't get it, you're too old.
I'm old? Please, I'm not old.
I still listen to Pearl Jam on my iPod.
You listen to who did you say?
A band that's way better
than the ones you like.
The ones that yawn while they're singing.
[hums and mumbles out of tune]
the photos [scoffs]
Dad, just leave it alone, you boomer.
What do you need?
Some time with you, son.
I haven't really
seen much of you at all lately.
Wanna go buy some comics?
No.
-Movie theater?
-No.
-Foosball, yeah?
-No.
We'll get burgers!
Dad, you're a weirdo!
Well, Lucas, what's the matter?
You put on these strange clothes,
you're really moody,
and you don't want to
do anything with your dad
Is everything okay?
Yes, I'm the same as normal!
[voice cracks]
Hey, it just cracked, huh?
Just leave me alone! You don't get me!
Come on, get outta here! Go!
-Wait! Hey!
-You just don't get me.
Ugh!
He says I don't get him.
And, I mean, it's totally clear,
the kid is starting to go through puberty.
This is horrible, I'm not ready for this.
No, no, you're not ready.
You're not. Head's up.
All right, listen, it's all good.
It's the law of humanity, we grow up.
Like Robin Hood.
No. Peter Pan.
-Peter who?
-Who doesn't get older.
No, but didn't you say he was getting old?
-What are you saying?
-Me? I don't know. Salva, I was confused.
Okay, whatever.
This would've been
our first Christmas alone.
Well, and with me, right? I'll be there.
And with you. Yes, with you.
But Lucas doesn't care about me anymore.
I used to be his hero,
and now it's like I'm his enemy.
Man, that's the case with all of us.
Look at your father, look at mine, okay?
I only saw him once a month.
Well, your father was in the can
'cause he stole
from the Torrelodones Casino, Rafita.
You only saw him in prison.
Oh, yeah. Well, thanks a lot, dude.
You just had to force me to think
about the saddest time of my life, right?
Sorry, really, Rafita.
But I'm worried about this.
Lucas is all that I have now.
Don't worry, man.
The two of us went through all of that,
and look around you.
Look how well we're doing.
God, Rafita, this is worse than I thought.
No way I can lose my son.
If you don't want to lose him,
you're gonna have to win him back.
You know, maybe what your son needs
is to see his father
has an actual pair balls,
and he'll help his friend
handle a simple robbery.
-I told you I don't steal anymore, dude!
-"I told you I don't steal anymore, dude!"
Geez, this guy. Forget it, okay?
I've got plenty of amazing friends
who will help me with this.
[droning mindlessly]
[Rafita] Hey.
Lolo.
Lolo?
-Lolo, are you on pause? Hey! Lolo!
-[Lolo yelps]
-Lolo Musicolo.
-Where'd you go just now?
-DJing in space.
-No, don't go to space, stay right here.
We're on a heist. Give that here.
I'll cut and you keep watch.
I really think that we should switch.
I'm the lock expert.
-I'm in charge here.
-Since when are you the boss?
-Since I came up with the plan.
-Maybe I don't want to keep watch.
Well, all right, fine.
You cut and I'll be on watch,
just hurry and do it.
It's better if I'm the lookout.
I'm not a fence cutter,
I'm an expert with locks.
So, are you watching or cutting?
I'll watch, but because I say so.
Not because you're in charge!
Yeah, yeah
Oh, hey, Rafita,
if someone comes, what do I say?
Well, why don't you just say,
"Rafita, Rafita, Rafita, someone's here."
That's so boring though.
I don't know,
couldn't we use a secret code?
Like I say, "Water, water!"
"Code red, abort mission!"
Or "Hooty Hoo!" Right?
Fine, Lolo, say whatever you want.
But now just shut it.
-It's my decision?
-Yeah.
So, basically, that means
I'm the boss of you.
No, it means you need
to shut your mouth so I can focus!
[metallic snap]
Come on. That's done.
We're all good. Get inside.
Well, look, I think I'll decide that.
I'm the boss.
Yeah, sure. You're the boss.
Oh, is that right?
Ferris wheel time, dude!
-No, not the Ferris wheel! No!
-Yeah, yeah, yeah! That's it, that's it!
Wait! Stop, stop, stop!
They're gonna catch us.
-Come on, let's go inside.
-All right.
Come on, come on.
Listen, okay, dude.
No more Ferris wheel while I'm working.
[whimsical mystery music playing]
It's this one, right here.
-[stomach growls]
-Uh-oh, Rafita.
Yeah, what is it?
When I get to the scene of a crime,
the adrenaline and everything, I gotta
You gotta pee or what?
No, the other, number two.
I need to drop the kids at the pool!
Hey, no, no,
you better squeeze those cheeks!
Let's go in there,
fill our bags with all the loot,
and we'll get our butts out of here,
then you can poo an ocean.
Don't say that word,
or the golfer's leaving the hole.
God, Lolo, that's disgusting!
Get that side, all right?
-[Lolo groans]
-Got it?
[triumphant music playing]
[Lolo] Hey, what is this?
[Rafita] This
This is a state-of-the-art doll.
Worth a fortune.
We're gonna steal 'em all, and then
we'll sell 'em for twice the cost online.
[doll] Hello, sister!
I'm Greta, the empowerment doll.
Well, I'm Lolo,
and I come from San Fermn!
And I'm the boss of the gang!
Oh, wait What's our gang called,
by the way?
Our name is "Turn That Off
And Shut Up Or They'll Catch Us".
No. That's terrible. Wait, listen
-[doll] Crush the patriarchy.
-[Rafita] Turn it off.
-It's not turning off!
-[doll] Make your own dinner tonight.
-Shut it down!
-It won't turn off. Now she's winking.
-You manipulator.
-[Rafita] Greta just shut up! Shh!
-[man] Hey! Who's over there?
-He's the boss, I just take orders.
He's my cousin Rafita,
he lives over on Ahorro Street.
I'll see you later.
-What a snitch! Oh my Rat! You're a rat!
-[Lolo panting]
Hey! No! Stop right there!
Hey, hey! Don't you move!
-Hang on a minute!
-Get him! Grab him!
[exasperated sigh] Can't even
steal in peace for Christmas!
[groans]
[guard 1] You thief, get back here! Hey!
He went this way! Come on, move your ass.
Go! Come on, hurry up!
[guard 2] Hey, come on.
Don't make me run, man!
[guard 1] C'mon, he has to be around here!
-See anything?
-[guard 2 panting]
Well he's not here
[guard 2 groans and catches breath]
Aw, more running?
-That way! Come on, let's go!
-[guard 2 panting]
[sighs]
[Santa] Hello?
I wasn't stealing, okay?
Just a little hide and seek.
[Santa] I know that voice
Rafita? Is that you?
Rafita, answer me!
[gasps] God? Are you talking to me?
Don't punish me, please.
Only one of my arms works.
[Santa] What're you talking about, man?
It's Santa Claus!
I'm here! I'm trapped inside!
[Rafita] Santa Claus?
Wait a minute, Santa?
What are you doing in there?
That's amazingly cool!
Oh, wait, I get it!
You sleep in a coffin like Dracula, right?
Oh geez, Rafita, don't be silly.
I'm the victim of a kidnapping!
Someone kidnapped you?
-[Santa] Have you come to save me?
-No, man. I came to save myself, actually.
What happened?
Did they also try to kidnap you?
No. I was here to rob a toy store, but it
Huh? Robbery? [grumbles]
Whatever, never mind.
Can you help me get out of here?
We have to escape, okay?
Yes, of course, man.
I'll open this up right now.
One arm and all. [chuckles]
Dang, this is really pretty heavy
This is hard, Santa. Hey, hey [groans]
Hey, be careful out there!
Oh, God. He's heavy. Are you kidding?
Just chill, 'kay? Stay cool.
And we'll get this figured out. I know it.
[gritty music playing]
[kid] Get out of the way!
Isn't it kinda weird that no one
is wearing as much protection as you?
I asked you to come for moral support,
not to make me more nervous.
Hey, there she is!
Hi, Ma! 'Sup, girl! Are you flexing, or?
Flexing? Don't you mean skating?
You know, we're at a skate park?
Yeah yeah, yeah, totally!
Yeah, yeah, I come here to do
my old-school skating tricks
on my board and chill.
Well, you haven't
done a lot with that one, huh?
You still have the tag on it.
It's just that I break my deck so often
that I get a new one every week.
Butthead!
Hey man. What are you doing here?
Well, uhm, I really missed
you guys being bullies,
thanks for showing up.
Look at these losers.
They're playing chess
the next street down, okay?
-[both laugh]
-I don't know what's so funny about chess.
It's a fine strategical game of war
that requires intelligence and planning.
-Checkmate, four-eyes!
-[laughs]
Anyway, I'm here because I like to skate.
But you haven't even touched that thing.
Yeah, it's new with tags, dude.
Yeah, if you're that good,
how about a demonstration?
Yeah, show off for your girlfriend.
It's just that right now,
y'know, I'm pretty cold,
and I need to skate a little
Or I'm risking getting injured.
You know,
what you risk is looking like a coward.
-Coward, bro.
-Lucas, don't do it.
-You don't have to prove anything.
-Shh! Look at the guy.
-He wants to skate. Go on.
-Nah, it's okay.
This is a warm-up.
Seriously, it'll be cool. Don't stress.
-I'm gonna record it, right? Yeah, yeah.
-Oh, man, get a video.
[Juanjo] Let's see.
He's gonna do it, he's gonna do it!
-[boy 2] We gotta record this.
-He's totally gonna eat it.
-Well, go on. Go on. Go ahead.
-Smile!
-[boys laughing]
-[Rubn] Don't do it.
Dying for love in literature is poetic,
but it sucks if it's in reality.
-Come on, loser!
-[screams]
-[everyone cheers]
-[Lucas yelps and grunts]
-[everyone gasps]
-[Ma winces]
Whoa! Oh, dang!
Masterful skate trick, dude!
Oh, God he's dead, I know it!
-I'm gonna post this to TikTok!
-He's a monster.
Man, I'm going viral, for sure.
[Rubn] Are you okay? I told you!
No. No, I'm not.
Love is really hard. [groans]
Santa Claus comes flying
Wow, what a feast this is.
And this punch is absolutely delicious.
I think I could really
get used to living here.
[both] Huh?
Uh Oh, I said [coughs]
You little dwarfs are really great.
[both] Oh
Are you about done, sir?
Uh yeah. Take it all outta here.
There's a cookie for the elves then.
Hey. [coaxing]
I'll take that cookie, give it here.
-[elf 1] But you always leave one for us.
-It's our most favorite dessert.
Isn't that a pity!
I guess every day isn't a holiday.
Go on now guys, get to work! [chuckles]
Mother of God!
These guys work so frantically.
[chuckles] I'm tired just watching.
Man, you look busy as bees!
Oh, no, this is nothing.
We can take it up a notch.
Maximum overdrive, elves!
[sped-up elf chatter]
So damn quick.
Are you sure you're not
adding anything to your coffee?
-Can I please ask what you're doing?
-[Mauro grunts] That was terrifying.
Are you a ninja? I mean, what the heck?
I have to put a little bell on you,
like you're a cat.
-What is it?
-It's nothing.
I just wanted to see
how you were doing with the kids' letters.
Well, Ramen, look, I won't lie.
Really bad.
The whole subject is exhausting.
All the letters say the same thing.
"Santa, I promise,
I was so good this year! I swear!"
You only really need to read one.
And plus, these kids
They're real idiots. There are
spelling mistakes all over the letters.
This year,
I'll just give everyone a lump of coal.
I honestly don't know
what's going on with you. You're just
I don't recognize you!
You don't recognize?
Are you implying
that I'm not the same Santa?
Any more unfounded accusations like that,
and I'll
I'll demote you to a regular gnome!
Get outta here!
[hissing]
Go on! Git! [imitating angry meows]
-[boss] Sebastin.
-[Sebastin] Yes.
Fine, fine
Fine.
And what did we say about Santa hats?
Please make sure
Oh, there's a kid. So gross.
All right, so,
the stuffed toys should sit lower down,
so the target customers can see,
which are kids
from zero to nine years old.
-Very well said, Ma'am!
-Very impressive. You, take that down.
And reduce
the educational games by 10%, okay?
'Cause this is Spain, guys!
-You're so clever, ma'am!
-It's spectacular.
What is this display?
It's a complete nightmare!
How can we expect to surpass
last year's numbers if the store is messy?
So many of us with college degree
and no one can build a pyramid of toys!
You're so right,
so many degrees here, and
-Don't you have a doctorate?
-Shh!
And how's it going for our special guest?
-Is he comfy in his little cage?
-Yeah, he's good.
I mean, he keeps on saying
he's nothing without chocolate.
-He's got an insane appetite.
-Well, he'll have to wait a little.
He was kidnapped,
not taken to a five-star hotel.
By the way, random question.
You hate Santa so much.
Is it something personal he did?
["Lacrimosa" by Mozart playing]
This isn't the teddy bear
that I asked for from Santa Claus.
I'm pretty sure Santa figured
that toys are really boring,
and you're better off learning
to get ready to inherit the family empire.
What do you think?
Wanna play together? Huh?
Come on, honey.
Multiply
[cash register kachings]
Well, of course it's not personal!
It was all about business, I told you!
Understand?! It's not personal!
Okay, all business, not personal.
Can I give you, like,
a head massage for the stress?
Oh, cut that out.
Get me an accounts balance,
my office, ten minutes.
All right.
Such rage
Thank you all so much.
Thank you for this Oscar.
I really didn't expect it.
I want to share this award
with my fellow nominees.
Of course, a small piece
of this Oscar is yours as well.
-[phone rings]
-Oh, my God! What?
[phone ringing]
-Uh Hi, boss!
-[boss] Mauro.
Have you already forbidden the
elves from making toys?
Better than that.
I just recruited the best possible
employees to work at Planet Toys.
Watch, watch.
C'mon, little dwarves!
They work constantly, day and night,
they don't charge overtime,
and they do it all joyfully,
singing the whole time.
Well that's even better
than the factory in Bangladesh.
And there's one more thing!
-None of the elves require contracts!
-They don't need contracts?
Well, that's the very most
beautiful thing I've ever heard of.
Please get them
to start making toys for us right now.
Oh, that's done.
All you need to do on your end
is raise my salary just a little.
Make it 20 or 30%.
-[Sebastin scoffs]
-That's no problem at all.
Well, then do you think
maybe we could raise mine?
-It's been frozen since...
-Shut up.
-Right-o.
-Thanks a lot, boss!
Who was that lady? And what were you
saying about a salary to her?
[shushes]
When the grown-ups are talking,
the little guy stays quiet.
-[Rami gasps]
-[Mauro] Little guys!
Change of plans, all right?
From now on,
all the toys we make in this workshop,
all have to come
from this catalog you see here.
Everybody got that?
Yeah, whatever you want, boss.
All right.
Light a fire under those tushies.
This is the last straw, Santa.
We haven't ever made any brand of toys
exclusively at your workshop.
Did you sell out to the capitalists, huh?
Who is this guy?
I think I'm hearing a noise
from down below.
And it sounds like [babbles]
But I don't understand
anything he's saying. Any of you get it?
Show some respect,
I've been here for centuries.
Then you should know
who's in charge of this place, right?
Let's see, who do the kids
write letters to, huh? You or me?
Fine, yes, but...
Who's the real superstar here, huh?
Who's the worldwide folklore myth?
You or me?
Yes. But if you want to...
Where are we standing?
The annoying dwarf's shop?
Or are we in a workshop
belonging to Santa?
Exactly. Make it happen.
Move those butts, guys.
-[magical whoosh]
-[elf] On it!
And you, drink your milk, Rami,
or you'll never grow up.
[snickers]
[ominous music playing]
Something strange is going on around here.
We're gonna need some assistance.
[all three] And total wreckage.
[Lucas sighs]
-Gentlemen! Phones, right here.
-[student] Ma'am
Don't listen to those guys.
They're total idiots.
They're barely smart enough
not to pee themselves.
[Luca's laughs] Ow.
Attention! We're gonna break
into pairs for your projects in science.
-No, ma'am
-C'mon, ma'am.
Can we be a trio?
-[teacher] Silence!
-[laughs] Nice, dude.
You're animals!
The project on anuran amphibians
will be completed by
Rubn and
Oh, I hope we're together,
please have us together.
Juanjo.
[both laugh]
-You're with the
-Supernerd.
-Yeah, he is!
-Hey man. Yo, that's not
I'm probably gonna be
taking care of those frogs alone.
The project covering reptiles
Is going to Ma, and
Lucas.
-All right!
-Hey.
Uh All right, take it easy, Rubn.
I wanted to work with you too,
but I'll tough it out.
Then why do you have
that idiotic grin all over your face?
[hesitates]
So, your place or mine?
Huh?
This project. Do you think
we should work at your place or mine?
Uh We can We can do it at my house.
My house.
[teacher] Let's continue
with our discussion on webbed membranes.
Okay, I'm gonna give this a shot.
Okay? I'll come in from your left side.
And I'm gonna try to
wedge it open right here.
-And I'll just stick this right here
-[snap]
-[Santa] What just happened?
-Impossible Mother of God, I
I am so hungry.
Well, so am I.
I haven't eaten in hours, you know?
I'm gonna look like a skeleton.
-Right, in your dreams. [chuckles]
-[Santa] Just forget it.
All hope is lost.
This Christmas,
the bad guys are beating Santa.
Hey, I can put a little hole there
so you can breathe.
Just 'cause once I had a little hamster,
and I forgot to put a hole in his cage.
Poor Fernandito Alonso.
Never finished his race.
[Santa] A little hole?
Why? Now, I'm like
one of those old abandoned toys.
They had their fun, and
And now I'm just an old piece of garbage
in a world
where good feelings no longer matter.
Hey, you're not junk.
You're old, you're really old.
But you're not junk.
C'mon, look.
Man, you see that Scalextric there?
Where'd I get it? The Three Wise Men? No.
Did the Tooth Fairy give it to me?
Not a chance. My guy Santa gave it to me.
My mother always said I was an idiot.
My father always said I was dumb.
My aunt Pepa said that I was garbage.
-And my grandmother...
-Okay, I get it, Rafita, I get it.
And somehow still,
you were able to see behind
that huge mess there was a huger heart.
I swear there are millions of kids like me
who need Santa Claus.
Hey.
Are you alive in there?
Yes, yes. Geez, come on,
it was just a dramatic pause.
You know, it's just that
you moved me, you did.
No No, no, no, don't cry, don't cry.
Don't cry, because if you cry,
I'll cry. Please.
[upbeat Christmas music playing]
-I know how I'll get you outta there.
-[Santa] That's my Rafita.
You never let me down!
Well, actually, you do a lot, but
Let's do it
Oh yes, let's do it
We're gonna make it happen
Let's make it happen
Our dream is on the way
Just tell your friends to come
Let's celebrate, let's make it great
Let's have a good time
-Let's do it
-Oh yes, let's do it
We're gonna make it happen
Let's make it happen
Our dream is on the way
So tell your friends to come
Let's do it, now or never
Let's make it last forever
Let's have a Christmas party tonight
[music stops]
Surprise, Lucas!
What is all this, Dad?
And, geez, what do you have on?
I know exactly what you're thinking,
"Man, do I have a super cool dad!"
You had to do all this today?
But, Dad,
don't you think this is overkill?
Why do you say that? Want some candy?
I don't want to offend you,
but this is just tacky, Dad.
Well, yeah, I kinda went all out,
but I know
you're gonna love this next thing.
We're gonna write a letter to Santa,
father and son,
and then put it in the mail.
Yeah, and you'll put me down to nap!
Please, Dad, I'm not a child.
But son, why are you being this way?
After the adventure
that we had with Santa
-[Ma] Lucas!
-Oh, man! It's five o'clock.
Wait, who is it?
Whatever happens, not a word.
Not the reindeer, not the elves,
and especially not Santa Claus,
or anything about delivering presents.
Don't talk.
Okay, well, can I breathe or?
Breathe quiet.
Go on, take this off. Hide, hide.
-[Salva] Hey, don't Okay, don't push!
-[Lucas sighs]
[huffs] Ma, this is a surprise, huh?
We said we were gonna meet
at 5:00 p.m. to work, yeah?
Uh Yeah, it's just surprising
that you're so punctual.
These days, people are so flaky
Wow, man,
you guys love Christmas here, huh?
Yeah, sorry, it's just that my dad,
he's a total geek, seriously.
Come on, let's go to my room.
There are not so many lights.
[Ma] Cool.
["Jingle Bells" plays on the stereo]
[sighs]
The holidays are finally here,
and parents and kids are having
a great time together celebrating.
[scoffs] That's if your son
wants to talk to you.
[reporter] from thousands and thousands
of excited children
-[reindeer bellows]
-[yelps]
Rudolph Rami! What are you doing here?
We have an emergency.
It's Santa! He's been kidnapped
and replaced by an impostor!
What?
He's there with the elves
in the workshop now!
Are you serious?!
Fortunately, I got on Rudolph,
and I escaped by the skin of my teeth.
-No way! You kidding?
-You heard what I said.
This is so crazy!
Just one thing, why is it my issue?
What are you saying?
We've lost Santa. He's gone.
How is that not reason enough?
Yeah, but Lucas has vanished as well,
you know?
Lucas has disappeared, too?
How in the merry...
It's a conspiracy, I mean it.
Well, it's just, he's gone as we knew him.
Now he's a teenager who ignores me,
and if he sees us together,
I'm pretty sure
he's gonna stop talking to me forever.
-So go on, get out of here, okay?
-How can you be so selfish?!
Christmas is in danger,
and Santa might be kidnapped
or something even worse, Salva.
And you'd really turn your back on him?
I thought after everything
you'd been through,
you had a good heart now, Salva.
-I don't believe this.
-[Lucas] I don't know him at all, okay?
I don't know who this is.
Get away from my home, you weirdo.
-What are you saying, Lucas?
-But he knows your name, dude.
A real elf! That's so cool!
Look at his cute little ears.
-[reindeer bellows]
-And a reindeer!
Uh Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's way cool!
He's a good friend.
Aren't you, Rami, buddy?
Well, yes, I thought that we were friends.
But your dad
doesn't seem to think that we are.
I told him that Santa Claus was kidnapped,
and he doesn't want to help me.
But Lucas also doesn't want to help.
Because he's over Christmas.
He's not writing a letter.
Yeah, writing to Santa is totally random.
Isn't it, bro?
It's whack, actually.
[robot voice] It's so whack, dude.
So, Santa Claus has gone missing,
and you're not gonna help him at all?
-Nope.
-Uh
Yes, of course we are.
Yeah, um, we should go!
Let's find him right away.
You just wanna
contradict everything I say.
Boys, I'm a fan of this girl.
Well, I'm a fan too.
Right. Where do we even start?
Because he could literally be anywhere.
[TV] We interrupt this broadcast
to release
Wait, look!
[TV] a statement from the North Pole.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE NORTH POLE
Dearest children,
I have, uh, something very important
to announce to you.
That's the impostor.
After years and years
of working without a break
[sighs]
it's time for me to finally retire,
so [laughs]
Please stop sending letters.
But don't worry,
you'll still get presents this year.
["Mi Burrito Sabanero" playing]
-[cheerful commotion]
-[laughter]
[man laughing]
[man laughs cheerfully]
[kids cheering amazed]
Because at Planet Toys,
we work to give children
the best toys this holiday season.
Oh, the hats [laughs]
[kid yelps]
They're passing out, they're so excited.
Planet Toys.
[Mauro] And the best part?
You don't have to behave
or do any of that junk.
All that matters is that
your parents just pay, pay, and pay.
With cash, with a card or bank transfer
But they gotta pay.
Ho, ho, ho!
So, if you want to get presents
this Christmas, go to Planet Toys.
Everything is 20% off,
and you'll receive no moral judgments.
Isn't that simply amazing?
You can act like a total doo-doo head,
and still get whatever you want.
[laughs] With more than 5,000 stores
all over the planet,
what are you waiting for? Go ahead, kids.
You're already late.
[female announcer] Planet Toys.
A world of toys
Well, we know where
to start looking for him, right?
We should go to that toy store.
Hey, hey, hey.
We could get into some danger.
Rami and I should head to Planet Toys.
And miss out on this adventure?
You're trippin'.
You had just said
we don't do anything together.
I think this is the perfect opportunity
for some father-son time.
All right, fine,
but you have to do everything I say.
-All right! Let's do this.
-That's great!
-We're gonna save him!
-We're gonna save Christmas! Awesome!
[Rami] We're going to the North Pole!
[Lucas] This is the coolest!
[commotion]
[child crying]
-[store clerk] Calm down, relax! Careful!
-Mommy! Mommy!
[store clerk] Please be careful
with the toys. You'll get them dirty.
-[woman] Dani, hurry, grab that.
-[store clerk] Hey! Where are you going?
[beeping]
Hey, ma'am, let go of me!
[boss] Fantastic.
Wonderful. [laughs wickedly]
Have you seen this stuff, Dad?
My new campaign is a total success!
We're running out of stock!
[scoffs]
Days before Christmas, huh?
An unforgivable lack of foresight.
Not once in 50 years
has that ever happened to me.
Hey, wait, Dad,
we're restocking this afternoon.
And it's all because
I'm breaking sales records.
-Isn't that great? Aren't you proud?
-Proud? Seriously?
Maybe if you had started a company
of your own, from scratch, like I did.
But everything you have is because of me.
Why isn't anything I ever do
good enough to please you?
[mockingly] "Why isn't anything I ever do
enough to please you?"
You would have been an excellent
dramatic actress, y'know, sweetie?
Well, I'm heading out,
I have to catch a flight to the Alps.
See you after the holidays, okay?
[dry kiss followed by disgusted huff]
Hello, Mr. Anselmo.
God, ma'am! This is such a success.
You're gonna take Wall Street.
Aren't you ecstatic?
[sobbing] Uh-huh.
These are happy tears.
[sobbing]
[Salva whistling] Afternoon, guys!
[whistling] Look at you champs go.
[laughs] Hey, guys, look out!
Careful, heavy load coming through here!
[chuckles]
Coming through.
-Hey! Hey, guy, where you going?
-[Salva] Hey.
[guard 1] Your face
isn't ringing any bells.
Yeah, likewise,
I'm from the factory headquarters.
This here is the prototype
of our Grumpy Elf, guys.
Man, this guy's ugly! Yikes!
You're one to talk.
Look at Timothe Chalamet here.
-Huh?
-Yeah, what?
Would you take a look?
I mean, that face is disgusting.
And all those wrinkles, those tired eyes.
He's gonna scare the kids. [laughs]
-Let's pop it open, get a better look.
-No, no.
-It's very delicate...
-[guard 1] C'mon, it's fine, I can do it.
-[guard 2] Let's see
-Huh.
Wow, they really nailed this guy's ears.
Yeah, and they glued this on right, eh?
Hey, don't you have
a Sudoku to do, or? Huh?
Does it do anything?
Where's the button to turn it on?
Doesn't he have, like, a power button?
-Try his belly button! His belly button!
-[high-pressure hiss]
Hey, watch out, it's getting hot!
-[high-pressure hiss]
-[train horn blares]
[groans]
-[laughs] Looks like it's on now.
-Dang, that thing hit me hard.
Okay, I think we've seen enough.
Don't touch it anymore, okay?
You're gonna break it.
Fine, fine.
But you should know, this will never sell.
-Sure, man, okay.
-[guard 2] Sheesh, what a sourpuss.
[both laugh]
RAMI
THE REAL GRUMPY ELF
You know what plan is, right?
Yeah, go on. Hurry, let's make it happen.
[gasps]
[man] Yeah, I think he's gonna love this.
[PA chime]
Attention all Planet Toys customers,
our store will soon be closing.
Please, make your way to the exit,
and have a great night.
[PA chime]
[whimsical mystery music playing]
It went great. Let's go.
Sir! Sir, the store is closing.
Please exit at the front door.
The patience it takes to work here.
Sir! Hey!
Sir!
[whispering] Over here, Dad.
-[store clerk] Sir!
-Over there. Here we go.
Hop in there.
[sighs] Fine then.
[whimsical mystery music continues]
[gasping]
-I nearly suffocated.
-Why did you stop breathing?
Because it's really stinky under there.
Look Eew, Dad!
-A dirty diaper. Sick.
-No. That's so gross.
[Lucas groans in disgust]
Well
-Lucas, remember that amusement park...?
-Ma, c'mon, let's do this.
Wait a minute
[grunts]
[grunts and groans]
-[whispering] The door is there.
-Hang on, hang on.
Hey, important.
Now we use the password, okay?
[in sync with knocking]
One little cup o' cheer.
Grog here!
See? I told you that plan was perfect.
Clearly, you didn't get
groped by a brutish gorilla in a uniform.
[sniffs] That smell. What is it?
It's doody! Come on. Here we go!
[Rami whispering] C'mon.
-[Ma] C'mon, over here.
-[Salva] Let's go.
-[Lucas] To the right. Here, to the right.
-[Ma] Lucas, careful.
[grunts and groans]
[sighs] Well, there, it's done.
Hey, I bet you're glad now
that I took that course in mechanics.
Instead of useless telecom, right?
You're the best, Rafita.
Hey, listen,
do you think this will hold up?
Well yeah, I'm a machine, Santa.
Once, I made a go-kart
out of a cookie box.
Well come on, Rafita! Try to start it,
and let's go, for God's sakes!
'Kay. Let's do this.
Rafita, you're making me want to throw up.
-[distant thud]
-Shh!
There's someone else in here.
This is crazy exciting, huh, Ma?
I know, right?
This is some great father-son time, huh?
Yeah, yeah. Geez, Dad.
Knock off the chit-chat!
Where should we start investigating?
Well, the boss is this lady,
Candela Iriarte.
We could try to find her office.
Great idea.
You're as intelligent as you are gor
As I what?
[nervously] As you're a great skater.
[mockingly] "As you are a great skater."
Ah, somebody's jealous.
[elevator dings]
Yeah, this is it. This is the top floor.
It's ginormous! As usual,
the boss's office is the biggest.
Okay, now, don't knock anything over.
And Rami, you're always very clumsy.
Come on, let's start looking.
You two, check the computer.
Rami, you check those files up top,
I'll look at the ones down here.
Really, Salva,
this is no time for bad jokes.
That wasn't intentional.
Let's switch it up then.
Oh, and don't forget,
make sure you keep it down.
[loud crash]
Dad, c'mon!
[Lucas sighs]
My bad.
Whoa, look!
That's him. He's the impostor.
Guy's really got range, doesn't he?
Whatever, Dad. This is confirmation
that they have Santa Claus.
[toilet flushing]
-[Candela] I love this time of year.
-Come on, hurry, hide!
[Candela] People spend,
and I don't stop winning.
Oh no, what's all this?
Note to self. Tell Sebastin
to fire the cleaning lady immediately.
Well, if she's on a contract, of course.
[laughs wickedly]
Christmas is simply phenomenal.
They keep spending, and I keep on earning.
-[Candela laughs wickedly]
-[stifled groan]
-[mimics explosion and laughs]
-[computer] New sales record broken.
[clears throat] Sorry, ma'am
What?
I have to tell you something,
but please don't get mad.
Go on.
Ma'am, Santa Claus is missing.
-What?
-[Sebastin] Yes, the chest is gone.
But this jeopardizes our entire plan!
I swear to you that we'll find him
before anyone notices.
[gasps]
What are you doing here?
Oh, hi! I'm Manolo, the IT guy!
And I haven't heard anything
that's happened here tonight, huh?
[Candela] Sebastin, we're being hacked!
[Sebastin] What do you mean "Monolo"?
The IT guy's Andrs Manuel.
-Well, sure, uh I'm Andrs Manuel.
-[kids yelp and grunt]
Whose kids are those?
-Sebastin, call security!
-Yes, of course!
-No, wait!
-Security, to the boss's office!
[both grunting]
Come on, Sebastin! Beat him up!
[groaning and grunting]
-[thud]
-Ow!
How many people are in here?
Ma'am, this is trespassing!
They're squatters!
[shudders]
No, uh We're just a family, and, well
maybe we're a little dysfunctional,
but we just wanted to Run!
-Sebastin, go after them!
-[panting] Oh, yes.
[Candela sobbing] Sebastin,
don't leave me alone.
-[aggressively] Come on!
-[Sebastin] Yep!
[tense instrumental music playing]
[panting]
-[Salva] Let's go!
-[Lucas] Come on!
-Split up!
-[guard] Hey!
-[Lucas] To the right!
-Let's go!
-Ma, over there!
-[Ma] All right!
-[guard 1] Whoa!
-[guard 2] This way, Bambino!
After them!
[panting] Sebastin. Sebastin.
You go on, I can't do it.
[Sebastin panting]
[guard panting]
[flailing yelps]
-[thud]
-[groan]
[murmuring] Mommy
[tense instrumental music playing]
[panting] Huh?
[music slows down suspense fully]
Huh? Oh look! It's my little doll!
Little doll?
[grunts and groans]
[music picks up again]
[groaning]
[mocking]
Later! [laughs]
[sputters and huffs]
Watch this!
Over here!
[huffing]
Whee!
[grunts]
[panting and grunts]
-[guard laughs]
-Let go of me, get off!
Boss, I got one!
I got one! Boss, I got one!
[Lucas] Let me go!
Yeah, let him go!
-[toy gun shots]
-[heroic music]
Lucas, over here!
I'm coming!
[groaning and panting]
-[Salva grunts]
-We can escape over there!
Whoa! Salva?
-Rafita.
-I found Santa Claus.
He's in here.
They locked him up to wreck Christmas.
[Santa] Rafita,
who let you have a license?
I don't believe this.
Yeah, I totally have him in here.
[both grumble]
-Huh? [sighs and gasps]
-[Santa] Get me out of here!
[chuckles wickedly]
Pathetic.
[both chuckle wickedly]
Ma.
I'm pretty sure Christmas
is in our hands now.
-Wait a sec.
-[grunting] Hey.
Watch it! Hey! C'mon,
what do you think this is?
What are you gonna do with us?
I have work tomorrow, okay?
Really? Christmas Eve?
You have to go to work?
Yeah, Ramoncn doesn't look it,
but he's a tyrant, dude.
-[Rafita] I told you, you're better off...
-Shut it, you two.
I hope that you don't get seasick,
because all of you
are taking a cruise
to our factory in Jakarta.
Your plan is total insanity.
You won't be able to fool the children.
Yes, children's souls are pure.
And they're able to tell the real Santa's
different from the one you've got.
My family has earned a living
off of those pure souls for generations,
and I can promise you
that they're the stupidest creatures
walking this Earth.
-[Sebastin laughs]
-Bye, then.
[eerie music playing]
[metal door slams]
Oh, and one last thing.
Just in case we don't
bump into each other, happy holidays.
-Oh, yeah. Happy holidays.
-[metal door slams]
-[huffs] Geez, man, that lady is devilish.
-She is mean, man.
[laughing] It's so funny. Wow.
It's incredible. [laughs]
[Sebastin and Candela laughing wickedly]
[Salva sighs] Another year like this,
really?
[Santa] Well, this year it's not my fault.
Yeah, he's right,
this is all Salva's fault.
What are you saying?
If you'd helped me with the robbery,
I wouldn't have been caught.
It's my fault 'cause I went legit?
Yeah, I dare you to tell him that!
The worst part is that we have
a lunatic in the North Pole,
slave-driving the elves
and completely controlling Christmas.
No, the worst thing is
that we got Lucas and Ma into all this.
And who knows where they are,
the poor things.
What's good, man?
Lucas!
-Dad!
-[Lolo] What's crackin', Rafita?
Are you all right?
-I knew you still loved me, kiddo.
-Yeah, but listen, try to keep it down.
And now, who is this?
This is my good friend, Lolo!
-Lolo Musicolo.
-[Rafita] Yep!
He scared us to death,
but it was totally worth it.
He opened up the truck in a second.
He opens more doors
than a chauffeur, this guy.
Okay, knock it off.
We have to get Santa and move our butts
out of here as quick as we can.
Thank you, young lady.
I don't know who you are,
but it seems like you're the only one
with intelligence in this group.
Impossible. To open this thing,
you'd need the world's greatest locksmith.
Okay, guys, fine.
I can open it, but on one condition.
I'm takin' everything in there.
No, because that's stealing,
and now we're all good girls and boys.
[Santa] Please, Salva,
stop messing around.
Let him open this thing,
and he can take what he wants.
[Rafita and Lucas laugh]
Ho, ho, ho!
Not even being kidnapped can stop Santa!
I'm ready to go!
They better get ready, too.
There's gonna be fun
There's gonna be love
Beautiful stories by the fire
Wonderful life
-Oh my! It's almost Christmas
-Almost Christmas.
[screams frightened]
What's wrong with you?
You don't knock anymore?
I'm busy. Is that not obvious?
Very sorry.
Where is our shipment?
Ma'am,
it must have left by now, but don't worry.
Now, if I may, I'm going to see my mother.
Christmas Eve is our favorite.
Just me and her,
but she cooks enough to feed an army.
Well, I don't have that problem.
Don't tell me you're eating alone.
Come over and join us.
The chicken that my mom makes is amazing.
And then the three of us
can play Scrabble.
No
Well, okay, Monopoly.
My God! Are you serious?
[beeps]
What's the truck still doing here?
And it's open too! [gasps]
Well, come on!
-Sebastin, say something!
-Lolo!
[guard yelps]
[cries out in dismay]
These deadbeats!
I'm surrounded by utter deadbeats!
Oh Back to work
[deep exhale]
We're okay, let's all just be cool.
This will not take away my victory.
[chuckles nervously]
You can't stop the inevitable.
[both laugh wickedly]
[Candela laughs boisterously]
[metallic clang]
[melancholic music playing]
[smooch]
[metallic clang]
-[smooch]
-[metallic clang]
-[smooch]
-[metallic clang]
[metallic clang]
Cut it out with the stones already.
Just stop, idiot.
It's okay, I'm all outta rocks, so
So. The real Santa Claus.
This is pretty amazing.
Yeah, in the flesh, kiddo.
Don't accept imitations,
like those other guys.
I don't believe this.
We've done this
for 300 years without a hitch,
and this is gonna be the one
where we have to resign.
I didn't do anything, it was you.
You couldn't tell the difference
between a bad actor and the real me.
And yet again, we have to figure out
how to be at the North Pole
by Christmas Eve.
There's no way we can do that.
For the first time in my life, I, uh
I have to let all the children down.
[bellows]
[Santa] Why shouldn't I give up, Rudolph?
I don't have anything.
I I don't have my sleigh, and
I'm working with
The grumpiest elf,
two teenagers in their awkward phase,
a clown, and Salva,
who, only this year,
has decided that he wanted to be good.
So let's figure this out,
are we acting like good kids or bad kids?
-See? I tried to tell ya. Who cares?
-[bellows]
Oh, that's true.
Rudolph, you're no reindeer,
you're the GOAT!
Hey, what is it?
Remember your dad built
that souped-up sleigh?
Well, we could use that again!
Hey, he's right!
Rafita, where is it?
[epic music swells]
Rafita.
-Huh?
-[music fades]
Tell me you didn't chuck it.
No, no way.
Of course I didn't chuck it.
I don't throw anything out.
I sold it.
-[Santa] Well no big deal!
-[Lucas moans]
I'm sure whoever
you sold it to is a really nice person,
and he'll lend it to us,
no problem at all!
Huh?
Of course, man. No problem at all.
If you need the sleigh for an emergency,
you can take it,
that's totally good for us, bro.
Oh, wow!
Well, hey, that's great! Thanks a lot.
[Ramoncn] No you can't, idiot.
This is a business.
Why don't you try to make a deal?
That's the way. Be heard.
Gotta get a pair.
C'mon, it's Christmas.
And Santa Claus himself
needs to borrow it.
Hey, no. Don't give me that, I'm retired.
Ramoncn is the boss here.
And he's completely heartless.
He's like one of those
business sharks on Wall Street.
Look at him,
all he needs is some hair gel.
Now pay us.
-Well let's get this clear, Ramn.
-No, no, no. He's the man in charge.
Yes, I'm in charge of him.
Okay, Ramoncn.
Either you lend us the sleigh,
or I resign right now.
[Ramoncn] Wait, what?
And you won't
get that sandwich you like every day.
Huh?
Our greatest work of art as mechanics.
Salvador Molina,
you're a true genius. Bravo, Rafita.
-Well, thank you.
-[smooching]
Okay. All right. All right. Okay, okay
Okay, enough.
You're just drooling on me now.
Yeah. I'll tune it up to go.
Okay
Hmm Nope.
[sighs] Okay. [chuckles]
[intrigued] Oh
[Sebastin] Ma'am.
I think there's something
that you should see.
Hello there, to all the children.
This is the one and only Santa Claus,
with a special announcement for you.
The man in the ad earlier,
he was an impostor!
No!
[Santa] I would never have shared
such a terrible message with the world.
That ad you saw was the work
of a company that is heartless and cruel.
Planet Toys.
Who also kidnapped me
in order to try to make a profit.
Seems to me, that toy company
has forgotten the meaning of Christmas.
[moans]
[angrily] No, no, no, no, no, no!
So kids, don't forget
to send me all of your letters,
and know that I'm always here
to bring your Christmas wishes to you all.
Ho, ho, ho!
This is gonna break the internet.
[epic music swells]
[magical chime]
TOY ROOM 1
[elves singing tiredly]
From dusk to dawn, we keep making toys
Our strength
Is quickly beginning to fade
We're running out of energy for it
And surely we will die at this rate
[snoring]
-[phone ringing]
-[yelps]
[groans] Hello?
[Candela] Mauro,
you have to shut down the shop
and get out. Santa escaped,
and I think he's going there.
Huh? Hey, I'm not gonna run out of here
because that impostor has escaped,
you understand me?
What do you think this is?
You're not even really Santa,
you're just a failed actor
who's more suited to being a waiter.
Me? A failure?
The failure is you.
You're a complete disgrace to your father.
I managed to land the role of my life,
and I'm not giving it up.
For anything or anyone, is that clear?
For anyone!
-[crash]
-[jingle bells chime]
[hesitates]
What are you staring at?!
Back to work!
We'll try it again, guys. With energy.
[sighs]
I think it's time
to get ready for my close-up.
[pensive music playing]
This is the end of it.
My father had it right.
Don't say that.
[in sad tone] I'm just a deadbeat
and I'll never be good enough.
No, don't say that.
You're better as a boss, smarter,
more creative and efficient, and, well
You're the one I love.
No way, it's not
No way, it's not
I know,
it's not right, I'm not good enough.
Shut up and look!
Everyone is returning their toys!
-I think we have to get out of here!
-Yeah, we gotta get out of here!
Slow down! Oh no, please! Oh, God, no!
[commotion]
-Get back!
-[store clerk] Single file. Okay
Calm down. I need the receipt.
Oligarchs! All of ya!
Receipts, receipts. I need your receipts.
Come on!
No sir, we can't do that. I'm sorry.
Rudolph is hitched up and ready to go.
Well, let's get going then,
there's no time left to lose.
I think you're gonna need this!
Rami, you're the best head elf
that a Santa Claus could ever dream of.
I swear it! [chuckles]
-[magical chime]
-Oh, wow! What is that?
That's the magic portal.
The elves use it to pass me
the presents from the workshop.
And it's starting to open.
And that means that time is running out.
-[magical music]
-[magical chime]
-[Ma] This is rad!
-[Rafita] How amazing!
Wow, it's full of elves!
-[elves] Hello!
-[Rafita] Hello! [laughs]
-I gotta see this up close. I'm going in.
-[Rafita] Hey!
[yelps]
What has that little girl done?
We can't leave her alone
with that lunatic!
Anything happens to her,
I'm crucified by the PTA.
Wait for me, Ma!
-Lucas! No! Wait a sec!
-[Rami] Salva! You can't do it!
Salva, come on. If an adult could go
through that portal, don't you think
I'd already be over there right now
trying to stop that fraud?
Only people with a totally pure heart,
who are also
below a height of five feet tall,
are allowed to go through the portal.
Enough with the jokes about the height
of the elves, for God's sake,
I'm the one who ends up
always having to save your butt.
Enough grumbling. To the portal.
-[Rami] Watch out!
-[elves gasp]
[chatter and laughter]
How rad! It's all of the elves!
[elves] Hello there!
New friends.
Shh. Not a sound. He's somewhere near.
And be quick, he's really grumpy.
You guys, come with me.
We can't let Mauro find us.
He thinks he's grown up,
but I'm not leaving my son
at the North Pole alone.
And hey, I'm not leaving
my friend alone either, got it?
I knew that I could count on you two,
buddies.
All right,
let's see if Rudolph can handle this.
My guy can handle anything,
he's a professional.
Come on,
we've got a Christmas to save, guys.
Giddy up! Ho, ho, ho!
Well, I'd say you could pass for elves.
I don't know, I feel kinda ridiculous.
Well, I think you look pretty cute.
[laughs]
Well, we should get to it.
You really think this'll work out?
I added enough sleeping pills
to what he was drinking
to be able to knock out
at least five reindeer,
and this guy has taken a liking
to the elf punch like I've never seen.
Wait just a minute, elves.
You guys are missing
one last important detail.
[Lucas] Hm?
[mysterious music playing]
[Ma laughs]
-[magical chime]
-[both gasp]
Every self-respecting elf simply
must have their own set of pointy ears.
And these
are the absolute best of the best.
[both giggle]
[chuckling]
I'd say that I'm the king of the world.
[chuckles]
[Mauro slurps loudly]
Would you like some more, sir?
Have you guys seen all of these countries?
I mean, do you see the whole world?
Well, tonight the entire planet
is gonna pay attention to me!
[laughs]
Wonderful, sir.
But that's why you have to stay hydrated.
A little more punch, eh?
Oh, I love it so much.
I swear to you, I'd swim in elf punch.
-Well, have some. Have some.
-I've had so much already. I shouldn't.
Yeah, of course you should.
You gotta celebrate. It's Christmas Eve.
-Have some more. [voice cracks]
-Did your voice just crack?
-You guys are new, right?
-[both hesitate and deny]
-[Rudolph bellows]
-[sleigh screeches to a halt]
[suspenseful music playing]
Now, we have to be stealthy.
Come on, let's do this.
What's this nutcase done?
This is amazing.
I always thought
Santa's workshop didn't exist.
Y'know, sorta like the White House.
Wow, Rafita, it takes all kinds.
That's why you exist. Just focus.
Where are you, you no-good impostor?
Show yourself!
Show yourself!
[everyone] Help us! Help us!
[gasps] My poor little elves! Oh, God!
[harsh metallic screech]
Well, well, well [laughs]
-Look who's here! Christmas Past!
-[elves murmur]
You're just a big ol' faker!
I don't know how
they possibly confused you for me.
I am vastly more athletic.
Now, your reign of terror is over here.
Get out of my workshop this instant!
Ha! This is my house now, okay?
And I am better at being
Santa Claus than you ever were, you fatso!
"Fatso," huh? Well it's thanks to me
that we live in a better world.
And it's thanks to me
that we have a better profit margin.
And I'm more cheerful. How's that?
I'm more efficient! How's that?
I'm famous for being generous.
So am I! Look at this, I've even got
a little present for you here!
-[laughs wickedly]
-[electrical spark]
-Dad, help, I'm in here!
-We're in here!
-[Rami] Help us!
-Dad, come here!
-[Rami] In here! Here!
-[Ma] In here!
-Lucas! Ma!
-[Rafita] Shh!
Rami!
[Mauro laughs wickedly]
Do you think that I was
so stupid I wouldn't notice?
I'll be honest with you,
the punch was delicious,
but I'm not so easy to knock out.
Whoa, that guy can take it.
Let us outta here.
Uh I'm sorry, kid,
but I'm gonna need some kind of assurance.
Let go of my son or I'll destroy you.
Shh! Don't move!
Now, I'm crazy, and boy do I know it!
If you try to get near
What?
I don't get it
You said if we try to get near, then
Then what's next?
You didn't finish your sentence.
-[hesitates]
-[Santa] For heaven's sake, Rafita.
Obviously,
he's gonna try to hurt the kids.
Is that really what he meant? Seriously?
Yes.
-This dude is a bad dude.
-Get outta here!
I'm gonna make you eat my dirt.
[Mauro grunts]
-There can be only one.
-Yes, and it's me!
-[action music playing]
-[swords clashing and both grunting]
-[Lucas] Dad!
-Lucas! Ma!
-[all three] No, look out!
-[Rafita] No, no, no, no, no, no!
[grunting]
Hey!
No, fatty, not today!
-[action music continues]
-[both grunting]
[Mauro grunts]
[Santa] Impostor.
[Mauro laughs maniacally]
[Santa groans]
[Mauro grunts and pants]
[Santa groans]
-Now.
-No, no!
[gasping in fear]
[Mauro laughs wickedly]
[yelps] Get back, get back!
[chuckles wickedly] You've lost this one.
You didn't realize I spent three years
as a pirate on a cruise ship
acting for tourists.
That's fine.
But you're forgetting that I am magical.
[magical whoosh]
Ho, ho, ho!
[all] Yay!
[magical whoosh]
-[Santa] Ha! Surrender!
-[Mauro panting]
Yes, yes, yes, of course.
Okay, Mister Santa, but don't hurt me.
Everything was all
that toy store lady's fault.
I I just wanted to play you.
Please,
will you seek forgiveness in your heart?
[Santa] All right. I forgive you.
Go on, get up, Mauro.
Do you see that, kids?
Compassion is indeed
the most powerful weapon to use.
[Salva] Watch out!
[Rafita in slow motion] No!
[grunts]
[all] No, no, no!
[both grunting and groaning]
Freeze right there!
Or you!
Or you!
Come on! Shoot him already, Dad!
Which Santa though?
-Get out of the way!
-Hold on!
How could you not know it's me, Salva?
The real Santa Claus is me, you guys.
Ho, ho, ho!
No! I am the one who is the real Santa.
Ho, ho, ho!
This is impossible.
They even laugh the same, you guys!
Just ask them both a question
that could only be answered
by the real Santa!
Who can tell me what Lucas
asked you to bring him?
I can. I know it.
[laughs sarcastically] You're busted.
[groans loudly]
What are you doing, Salva, you idiot?
Man, you just paralyzed my arm with that.
You took the bait though, man.
Lucas didn't write to Santa this year.
No, actually, Dad
I did, I wrote a letter.
Are you kidding me, Lucas?
Well, it's just that
I still believe in Santa.
Thank you, Lucas.
At the very least,
I'm grateful I can still trust you.
-See you later, losers!
-Hey! He's getting away!
-[Mauro laughs wickedly]
-[elves murmuring]
Hasta la vista, babies! Just watch,
I'm gonna get some serious revenge!
-[door slams]
-[Santa] Well, it's okay.
As voracious
as the polar bears are this year,
he's not gonna last ten minutes.
-Come on.
-All right, c'mon.
-[kids] Come get us!
-[Rami] Hurry!
[Lucas] Dad!
-[chains jingling]
-[grunts with effort]
[padlock thuds]
-The elves!
-Hey, Dad!
Lucas! Ma!
Hey, hey, hey! Just one second, man.
This whole doubles thing has me crazy.
-So how do I know that's really your dad?
-[Lucas laughs]
-You're, like, the dumbest person ever.
-Yeah, well, I guess
There's no time for us to celebrate.
It's Christmas Eve,
and those toys are not
going to be delivered on their own.
I just don't think
that we can make it this Christmas.
Yeah, but you're forgetting one thing.
Which is that we've got
two sleighs this year.
[Santa] Salvador!
You're gonna save Christmas again.
-Ho, ho, ho!
-[uplifting music swells]
Wow! This is so amazing!
Can I drive it, Santa?
Can I drive it? Can I drive it?
Rafita, you behave
or you'll have to stay here, okay?
Salva, do you prefer
the Southern Hemisphere
or the Northern Hemisphere?
I'll take the south,
it'll be a lot hotter.
Ho, ho, ho!
We're out of here. Wish us luck, guys!
Clean out all your chimneys
Man, I love it
when they all start singing.
I kinda prefer a silent elf.
[everyone laughs]
All right, guys!
-[Salva yelps]
-[magical whooshing]
-[all cheering]
-Goodbye, Santa!
Ready to do this?
-All right!
-Yeah!
Well, all right then, giddy up!
[magical whooshing]
Ah! It's already very late.
I've never had to deliver presents
in such a crazy rush.
Well, speed up!
No traffic tickets in the sky.
You're something else, Rafita.
But you know, you're right.
-Floor it!
-Hyah! Hyah!
-We only have four hours left, Dad.
-This is so stressful.
Come on, guys, hurry!
[Ma gasps and laughs]
Chill. You don't need to be scared.
My dad's an amazing pilot.
What are you talking about, scared?
This is a blast, dude!
-[Lucas laughs] Full speed ahead!
-[Ma] Let's go!
[Santa] Ho, ho!
Rafita. Paris!
The presents. Get the elves!
Santa, I'm on it!
-[magical chime]
-[elves] Hi!
Paris!
More here!
[all three] Whoa!
Tunisia! Watch, you'll love this part.
It's so cool.
-[Lucas laughs]
-Whoa, that's rad!
-[Lucas] Only two hours left.
-[Salva] Let's fly, guys!
-[magical chime]
-[all yelp]
Rafita, it's your turn now!
-I get to be Santa!
-Come on. Ho, ho, ho!
No! Not head first!
[Lucas] Chile!
Here
Another one!
Buenos Aires!
[Ma] Santa Fe!
[Lucas] Corrientes!
Let's go to Russia, Rafita.
-Oh, I love their salad dressing.
-I really only like it on a Reuben.
-[reindeer bellow]
-Hey what is that?
-Is it a bird?
-Uh No, it's a plane.
No, no, no, no. It's those two guys!
-[Santa] It's Salva! Coming fast!
-[Rafita] Wait, what?!
[reindeer bellow]
-Watch out! Watch out!
-Watch out!
[Rafita] Turn, Santa!
[everyone screams]
[screaming in slow motion]
[Rafita coughing]
My God!
Elves, the gifts! For Kazakhstan!
[grunts]
[grunts]
-Dad, hop on down.
-It's your turn.
No. You know where chimneys start,
but not where they end.
[Lucas and Ma] You're a chicken!
You're a chicken!
Fine, fine. All right, I'm going.
Rafita, the gifts for San Francisco.
-[kids laughing]
-[Salva groaning]
Maybe you guys could
help me out just a little, huh?
Hey, let's do this, papito!
Take that thing off.
You and I are here to bring stuff,
not take it away.
[all three] Christmas forever!
[Lucas] Cairo.
[Ma] Dubai.
[Lucas] Istanbul.
[Ma] Sri Lanka.
[sped-up elf chatter]
-[Ma] Tamaga.
-[Lucas] Xeroue. So Paulo.
[Ma] Crdoba.
-Yeah!
-Yeah! We did it!
Another year with not one child
left on Christmas without a gift.
Wow. This was
such an amazing night, really.
I want to thank you so much, Santa.
Well I'm glad you enjoyed it.
The truth is, I never could've
done it without you guys this year.
Yeah. So, hey
I was kinda thinking about something.
I know I'm a big dude,
and only one of my arms works
But maybe I could be an elf for you?
-No, Rafita, no.
-Okay.
An elf, huh?
Why would you want to be that?
You're much more important than that now.
Really. You're a friend.
Ho, ho, ho!
-All right, Rudolph, go!
-[Rafita] Giddy up!
[bellows]
[Rafita] Long live Christmas!
-[Salva] Let's go!
-[reindeer bellows]
-Wait, use the brakes!
-Here we go, incoming!
-[Lucas and Salva yelp]
-[Salva laughs]
Well, Ma, I hope you had a lot of fun,
and your parents are, uh
Very understanding.
It's cool, they know
that I'm in good company.
-Fantastic.
-Thanks.
-Lucas!
-[Salva] Well go on!
-Huh?
-[Salva] She called you over.
-Um
-[Salva] Go on, kid!
[Lucas] Coming!
[whispers] Dad, c'mon!
Thank you, Lucas.
I think this was the best day of my life.
And by the way,
you never said
what you asked for in your letter.
Uhm Well
Y'know, the usual.
[nervously] Just a video game
and a T-shirt.
You don't have to lie to me.
I already heard from Santa, so
[tender music swelling]
[Lucas] Bye!
Dad, I'm coming.
[Lucas gasps excitedly]
-What a rush!
-Wonderful, son.
[Lucas giggles nervously]
-[Ma] Bye!
-Off we go!
[Lucas] Let's go home!
[upbeat Christmas music playing]
[rush of air]
[music stops abruptly]
[tender music playing]
[gasps softly]
[chuckles gently]
[gasps]
[sighs]
[Rafita slurps loudly]
You know, I really don't get it.
All night we go around
delivering presents everywhere
[Lucas giggles]
and none of us really got any.
-Well, we had a lot of time together.
-Yeah, Dad, you're right.
Hey, what's that thing there?
I have a surprise for you guys.
Please, Son, really,
you didn't have to get me anything at all.
Just knowing that you love me,
I mean, for me, everything else is...
Oh, geez!
It's foosball, that's so rad, bro!
Isn't it cool?
Come on, I'll do the kick-off.
All right! C'mon! Kick it!
-Yeah, come on!
-Hey Loser plays against my arm.
[Lucas and Salva] Okay.
-[giggles] Goal!
-[Salva] Yay!
Hey, come on, it's your turn.
I'm gonna join you,
or I'll just get bored.
Now you're gonna see how it's done
-[Salva and Lucas] Goal!
-All right, all right. No. Come on!
Hey, I was thinking about something.
I know I'm very big
and that only one of my arms works
-Oh, geez.
-[Rafita] could I be an elf for you?
An elf, huh?
Why would you want to be that?
-You're much more important than that.
-[elves grumble]
[Santa] Really. You're a friend.
Ho, ho, ho!
Oh, come on now
These are just things that you say.
The kid needed the support
of a father figure.
And, to be honest,
who could do it better, you know?
[elves muttering indistinctly]
Hey, come on. Come on, please, you guys.
You elves know
that you're more important than that.
Why, you guys are
You're family, you know?
[elves] Aw!
That's what you tell everyone.
Great, Rami. You always find a way
to kick a man when he's down.
Isn't there something you're forgetting?
[gasps]
Yeah, of course!
Let's all get the party started!
[elves excitedly] Yay!
-[upbeat Christmas song playing]
-[Santa laughs]
Are you decking the halls?
Are you ready for Christmas?
We'll be having a ball
Are you ready for Christmas?
Are you having some fun?
Are you ready for Christmas?
It's only just begun
Oh, oh, oh
[Santa] Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!
Another year I was able
to make Christmas a success, huh?
-Well "we" did!
-[Santa laughs]
Come on now, do you have to
take everything so literally?
Well, yeah.
You're always taking all the credit.
Oh, Rami, don't be grumpy.
Just pour me
a little of that maple liquor.
I'm not your servant.
I asked 'cause you're
standing right next to it, man.
-I know you're not my servant.
-Only because you're very old, otherwise
You get grumpier every year, Rami.
Are you dancing around the clock
To that jolly bop?
Voices sing Merry Christmas
Bring me another one
I don't wanna stop
Are you ready for Christmas?
Are you decking the halls?
Are you ready for Christmas?
We'll be having a ball
Are you ready for Christmas?
Are you having some fun?
Are you ready for Christmas?
It's only just begun
Oh, oh, oh
It's only just begun
Are you dancing around the clock
To that jolly bop?
Voices sing Merry Christmas
Bring me another one
I don't wanna stop
Are you ready for Christmas?
Are you decking the halls?
Are you ready for Christmas?

It's only just begun
Oh, oh, oh
It's only just begun

[music turns epic]
