• Santa Claus : How can I do so much in just one night?

  Ancient Elf : Oh, yes, well know this: time travels with you. The night of the world is a passage of endless night for you, until your mission is done.

• Anya Claus : [Dooley is reading Twas The Night Before Christmas]  What is it?

  Santa Claus : It's a poem. A poem about me. They say it's a big hit.

  Dooley : He had a broad face, and a little round belly that shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly.

  Santa Claus : What was that? That last part.

  Dooley : [reading with hesitation]  He had a broad face.

  Santa Claus : Yes. Go on.

  Dooley : [continues reading with hesitation]  And a little round belly that shook when he laughed like a bowl full of...

  Santa Claus : Jelly.

  Dooley : It's... just a poem.

  Santa Claus : [upset]  Is that how they think I look?

  Anya Claus : [struggling not to laugh]  Well... The cookies.

  [the other elves snicker] 

• Santa Claus : You have folks saying that Santa Claus only rewards the good little boys and girls.

  Anya Claus : Isn't that how it should be?

  Santa Claus : All right. Dooley, make up a list of who is naughty and nice.

  Dooley : Yes, sir.

  Santa Claus : And be careful. I'll be checking it twice.

• Santa Claus : Maybe the whole idea is no good anymore.

  Anya Claus : What are you talking about? What idea?

  Santa Claus : Christmas.

  Anya Claus : Claus!

  Santa Claus : The world is a different place now, Anya. You don't see it. The people don't seem to care about giving a gift just so they can see the light of happiness in a friend's eyes.

• Santa Claus : Next Christmas, you and I will have a date.

  Joe : Really?

• Joe : [after he gets his present from Santa]  Did Cornie get anything?

  [pauses]

  Joe : Actually, yes.

  [blushes quite a lot] 

  Joe : Actually.

• Santa Claus : Patch gone? Where will he go? What will he do? The world is no place for an elf.

  Boog : The world's a nice enough place, isn't it?

  Honka : I mean, they send such nice letters from there! It must be!
