Casper's First Christmas (1979 TV Movie)

Julie McWhirter: Casper

Quotes 

• Casper : It's Christmas Eve, Hairy, just this once can't we stay home and maybe do a little decorating?

  Hairy Scary : Ghosts don't decorate, they scare people.

  Casper : But I don't like to scare people, I'm a friendly ghost.

  Hairy Scary : Ghosts don't believe in Christmas.

  Casper : I do! At least, I want to! They say that Christmas is when friends gather to express love, happiness, good wishes, friendship, and you know who comes.

  Hairy Scary : Friends? Friends? Are you pulling my sheet? Ghosts don't have any friends. You gotta get something straight through that transparent little head of yours, Bub. Look out there, if we had any friends or there was anything to that Christmas talk, they wouldn't be tearing our house down as soon as the snow clears.

• Hairy Scary : You said You Know Who is coming. Who is You Know Who that's coming?

  Casper : Santa Claus, Hairy, Santa Claus, you know, the spirit of giving.

  Hairy Scary : Spirit? Spirit? Why didn't you say so, kiddo? Is he as scary as me? Is he? Huh? Huh? Huh?

  Casper : Golly no, Hairy, Santa Claus isn't a ghost, he's supposed to be a big, jolly gentleman, with rosy cheeks and a big round belly, that shakes when he laughs like a bowl full of jelly.

  Hairy Scary : Sounds like one of those types that runs for political office.

• Casper : Golly, I wonder if Santa Claus ever comes to old houses like this one, with no decorations or anything, especially one that's about to be torn down. Well, just in case, better be prepared. Let's see, hmm,

  [writes letter] 

  Casper : Dear Santa, if you should happen to come by this way, I have but one wish for you... signed, your friend, Casper. I certainly hope Santa comes.

• Casper : Wow gee! A fire, and a Christmas tree! It's beautiful!

  Hairy Scary : It's disgusting!

• Casper : Hairy, look!

  Hairy Scary : What is it, where, what, what?

  Casper : Our house!

  Hairy Scary : Our house?

  Casper : There's a light in our window.

  Hairy Scary : It can't be, we don't own any lights!

  Casper : A car! Someone's come to pay us a visit.

  Hairy Scary : Visit my foot, they're claim jumpers, kid, you can't trust anyone these days.
