Gonna make coming down the chimney a piece of cake, huh? All right, good work, guys! All right, let's take him in.
Okay, even though we are well into Christmas vacation, as you can see, summer weather, which means you got work cut out for you.
Christmas in California means going to the beach.
All right, let's hit it! Only seven surfing days left 'til Christmas.
What are we gonna do with all this stuff? We're getting so much here, where do we start? I got a little tinsel here, and what else? Aw, is that a sigh I don't hear? I know, honey, I know you had your heart set on a white Christmas in Connecticut.
-Oh, Mitch, I know it sounds ridiculous but I've never had a white Christmas.
I mean, my parents always made sure we had fun as kids but, Christmas was always on the beach and I've always wanted to throw snowballs and go skiing down a hill on a sled and build a snowman.
We throw a pretty good Christmas around here, don't we, C.
J.
? -Yeah, the best.
-See? The best.
-Especially this year because we've organized a Christmas day picnic at the beach for homeless children and we have a priest from St.
Francis coming with a bunch of kids and they're gonna decorate the Christmas tree at the headquarters.
-Ah, C.
J.
, that sounds terrific! But it's just that, this is probably gonna be my last chance at a white Christmas.
-Don't be silly, there'll be other years! C.
J.
! We haven't got much time to get this girl in the Christmas spirit! -Well then, we better start getting her in the mood.
We have trees to decorate.
-Popcorn and Cranberries to string.
-Cookies to bake.
-And Carols to sing.
-We're swamped.
-Now, this may not be Connecticut, and I can't promise you snow, but I can promise you a Christmas you will never forget.
-Matt, is everything okay? -Yeah.
I just didn't feel like standing around and comparing Christmas memories.
-Why not? -Cause I don't have any.
Uh-huh? Yeah, kubla Khan is gonna win big and you're gonna finally get yourself out of debt.
The bet is on! And when he doesn't win, finally lose your house to me.
Oh Kyla You're into me now for ten grand, baby, I've given you all the leeway I can, I uh I need to collect.
-Come on, sid, just one more bet? I know this horse'll come in.
Tell you what, why don't we just discuss this over lunch.
My treat.
-Well That's an offer I just can't refuse.
Shall we? -Look at the trees, sid! Hi, Santa.

Listen, I got a job for you.
-Gotcha! -Mom! You scared me to death! -I'm sorry, kiddo! We made a huge haul off that old geezer, $10,000.
Anyway, he's been cheating us for months so I figured he owes us.
-Mom, you know we hustled him.
- Yes, we did! All right! -Hi! I picked this spot especially to be near you, a lifeguard.
My colleagues and I are here on vacation.
My name is Benjamin, but you can call me Benny.
-Benny, it's nice to meet you, my name's Matt.
-Nice to meet you.
We all really needed some time off and we decided sunny California's the place to be.
-Is this your first time out here? -Well, we'veFlown over the area.
It's beautiful here, it's freezing where we come from.
- Well, where you from? - Benny! Don't keep bothering the lifeguard! He doesn't wanna hear you ramble on.

-I believe you, I spend quite a bit of time with them.
I'm father Sam Ryan, you must be C.
J.
Parker.
- Yeah, I am.
I just didn't expect, um-- don't you wear the-- the little-- -you mean the funny little collar.
My parishioners get quite upset if they see me without it.
They figure if I haven't got it on, I must be having fun.
-Well, I don't mind.
Actually, you'd probably get the little funny tan line.
-You know, uh, we're actually in the same line of work.
We both save lives.
-You just take them a little closer to heaven.
-You keep them from getting there too soon.
I'm glad we're gonna be working together, C.
J.

-Okay, Sam, let's get to headquarters.
-Let's go.
-I'm telling you, Joey, there's a sucker born every minute.
And they're just parading right in front of us.
-Well, I say we have enough money for awhile.
I think we ought to just, you know, relax and spend it.
-This is the time to make money, honey, when we got it! Now you know what to do, don't you? -I think I've seen paper moon enough times.
I think I can handle it.

-We're having a great time! The old geezer we work for is a sleigh driver this time of year.
-"Sleigh" driver? -Did I say sleigh driver? I meant slave driver.
Fact is, we took off without telling him, so we're trying to keep a low profile, uh, lower profile, anyway.
-So what kind of work do you guys do? -You guys'll have to forgive him, if you give him the chance, he will talk forever about anything.
Who wants to play frisbee? -I'd like to tell you what we do, but it's top secret.
Besides, you wouldn't believe me if I told you! -Tony, that's him, that's the kid, get him! I don't care what you do just get my money back.
