Eddie, you should be in bed

Remember, if you are not asleep

Santa will not come over

Do you think he will

come this year, mom?

- Of course he will, Santa always...

- No. No Santa, Dad

Do you think he will come?

Eddie

I've been good during the year

And if you've been really good

then Santa brings you

everything you want. Right?

That's the rule

And if it is a rule

then he has got to do it. Right?

Well, yes, but...

All I ask is for Dad to show up

That's all

Eddie, your father

He's... Well...

- I didn't ask for anything else

- I know, I know

Come, lay down

and try to rest a bit, okay?

Santa can do anything

Merry Christmas, Eddie

Mario?

Should have come

to the Christmas party

Christmas party?

It's December 1st

We just had Thanksgiving

It's better an early Christmas

party than no Christmas party

No one wants a janitor

at their party

It does not hurt to be social

The only reason why people

want me is to clean!

They are filthy animals

Yes, and those same people let

you get away with certain things

- Things? Like what?

- Breaking the rules

- What rules?

- Sleeping on the job

There are guidelines, Mario

In the real world

there is guidelines, not rules

Besides, I am not going

to be doing this forever

Well, with that attitude

you can count on it

Well, I got to go, because I have to

clean up a stupid Christmas party

- Remember?

- Come on! Merry Christmas Eddie

It is December 1st

Forget about Christmas

You are such a grinch

''On the first day of Christmas

my employer gave to me''

''complete and utter... misery''

I will do it later

- Santa?

- Hey, Bruno

How are things going?

Everything is on track, sir

Everything will be ready

to go for Christmas Eve

- Good

- Hey Bruno

Santa, I have got

that hot chocolate for you

Extra marshmallows

just like you like it

- Thank you, Paula

- Speaking...

Say Paula, what do you want

for Christmas this year?

I would really like a new set of tools

You know, to build toys with

But do not get me wrong

I really like the ones I have now

So it is okay if I do not get them

I would also explode

with peppermint

for a charitable donation

to the children's shelter

Slow down, child. Slow down

Let me have the list

I will look it over later

Jeez!

Thank you so much Santa!

- Speaking of...

- Isn't she the best?

Yes. Yes, sir. She is... She

is my favorite. No doubt about it

Speaking about Christmas Eve

This is the year

What? What are you talking about?

Yes, yes

I have been having such

a hard time narrowing down

the list of candidates for Santa

- But...

- But

- I think I have a winner

- Really?

Somebody that is kind

courteous

- friendly, organized

- Of course

Somebody that I have been

watching for a long time

and I am certain he can take over

my operation and fill in my boots

- Santa

- Someone that I know

- You read my...

- Liam Mueller

This is the winner right here

Liam

Bruno, Bruno...

Your resume is great

But it's lacking one thing

World knowledge

Santa needs to know people

You have lived here

in the North Pole your whole life

- I see

- Besides...

who is going to run

my operation? I need my head elf

- Santa, I...

- ''Let me take your scarf''

- I understand

- Great

I knew you would understand

So, I can trust you with this?

Yes, Santa. I will put

my best elf on training detail

Great

Thank you, Bruno

Hey, Bruno?

''Sorry, what is it like to be

the head elf? I bet it is great''

''All that time you get

to spend with Santa''

''Would not it be great

to be Santa one day?''

''I am just hoping that one day

I can have your job''

''After you retire, of course''

''You must be the happiest elf

in the Pole. Will you still be...?''

Pass me over for a promotion

This was supposed to be my year

Bearded, cookie-eating...

You want a new Santa?

I will get you a new Santa

Just who I need

This is too perfect

Goodbye, Liam Mueller

Hello, Eddie Garcia

Merry Christmas to me

Now for the final touch

Just what I need

Slippy

Dippy, to my office now

- Slippy reporting for duty, sir

- Dippy reporting for duty, sir

I have an assignment for you guys

I need you to train the new Santa

- Train the new Santa?

- But sir, you always do that

Well, I am actually handing

this to you guys right now

You guys have been

the best elves this year

- Do you think you can do it?

- Yes, sir

It would be an honor, sir

- We won't let you down

- We won't let you down

Hey! Come here, baby

My little astronaut

You look great

Look at you. I love it

We have some fun stuff

for you today

We got ponies, we got Ferris

wheels, we got candy

We got everything

I can't tell you everything, okay?

Just what I need!?

Clara, my world, we have a visitor

Your Ex is here

- Hi Mom

- Hi

Hi, Clara

Oh my God!

Eddie, I am so sorry

- About what?

- It's my parents' anniversary

So Gabby and I are on our way

to go have a dinner

Hold on a second

We talked about it last week

- She was going to come with me

- I know

I know, I got the days mixed up

Listen I can call tomorrow

I can reschedule tomorrow. Okay?

It's just, I really...

I really have to go

Why are they even celebrating?

They hate each other

- You are crazy! Crazy!

- Stop! I'm the crazy one?

Mom, can I please

please stay with Daddy?

See? She wants to go with me

You hear that?

Clara, let her go with her father

Anyways, after all it's only my

wedding anniversary today

- This is why

- Mommy, can you please

take Gabby

and go wait in the car?

- I am sorry, Dad

- I am sorry too, baby

Hey, look, I am really sorry, but it

just can not happen today. Okay?

Why do not you let me back

into the house

so I do not have to deal with

these kinds of issues ever again?

You have only been out

of the house a month

and you are whining

like it has been an eternity

It is an eternity

It feels like that

But you know what?

She is my daughter, too. Right?

If you want me to consider that you

have to put a little bit of more effort

to prove to me that

you are ready for that

A little effort?

I'm here, I'm trying

Honey, that was never the issue

I got to go

Wait a second, why are you getting

your way all the time? Why?

It's not my way, Eddie

Sometimes things come up

and you have to be a little bit

more understanding

I mean you forced me for years

to be understanding

- so I guess now it is your turn!

- Understanding?

I'm understanding that my

daughter would rather spend time

with her father

That I understand

You know what?

If I'm not going to get her today

because obviously I'm not

then I'll pick her up on Monday

after school

I'll get her on Monday afternoon

okay?

- Yes, sure, fine

- What?

Fine!

This will be great

- Hi, Eddie

- Hey!

What do you want? Stay back

Stay back

What do you want?

What do you want?

Hi, Eddie

Look, take whatever you want

Just do not hurt me, okay?

What could we

possibly want in here?

And besides, if we took anything

we would be put

on the naughty list for sure

- Naughty list?

- Yes

Well, we do not want

to get on Santa's bad side

Mario

This is Mario's idea

Hey! Mario, where are you?

You had something to do with this

Eddie, this isn't a prank

We're actually two of Santa's elves

- I'm Slippy

- And I'm Dippy

Yes, Slip and Dippy my butt

Hey! Mario, where are you?

- Should we show him?

- I think we're going to have to

Listen I'm going to find out it's you

You're done with me you get it?

Where you at?

I know this is a prank

What?

And now for our final trick...

Is something

supposed to happen?

Yes, the polar bear

might have been too much

''But I didn't ask for anything else''

I know, come, let us try

to sleep a little, okay?

- Hi, Eddie!

- Hey, Eddie Spaghetti!

Have you been

a naughty boy this year?

He's been naughty

You're a naughty little boy

Eddie, I love your

Christmas pajamas!

Eddie!

I thought it was a dream

What the hell is going on?

- We are elves, Eddie

- And we are here to tell you that...

You're going to be

the next Santa Claus!

- Being Santa is a dream

- I wish I was Santa

Look, Eddie, we understand

that this is a lot to process

- Just hear us out

- And if I do that, you'll go away?

Probably not

So there is a little-known secret

that every 30 years or so

a new Santa Claus is chosen

And this year, that is you

Elves, okay

So let us say I wanted to be

Santa Claus, which I don't

because I don't believe in Santa

Claus and I couldn't do it anyway

- Why not?

- Because...

I am Latino, and Santa is white

Silly. Santa has no race

color or gender

Throughout history

there have been Santas

from all over the world

Yes, we have

had Jamaican Santas

''Chinese Santas

Indian Santas''

''Scottish Santa''

Heck!

We even had a Jewish Santa

You name it

and we have had one

- Mind-blowing

- Remember the alien Santa?

That was my favorite!

Really, I mean, why me?

I don't even like Christmas

Blasphemy! Don't you ever say

you don't like Christmas

- Fine, But why me?

- We are elves, Eddie

It's a little bit above our pay grade

to be questioning those decisions

- You were chosen, so you're it

- We got to get started soon

because we have a lot to do

and not much time to do it

in order to get you ready

for Christmas Eve!

Yes. So we're going to need you

to sign all these papers and...

Look... I can't do this. I have a job

A family. You understand?

Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie

Do not think we would

have thought of that

Come on, we got you covered

We made a clone to take

your place while you train!

- A clone?

- Yes

You guys can do that?

Jeez! Eddie, we just made a polar

bear appear in your living room

Now you're questioning

our clone-making abilities?

It's true

So, let me get this straight

You have a clone who is going

to go and do everything for me

and I don't have to show up

at the arena at all?

You won't have time

You'll be training

Sign those papers

and be at this address

tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM

- 8:00 AM sharp!

- You got it

Good morning, Eddie

How was the weekend?

Hey, how are you, Mario?

Come here, good day friend

Looking good

- Are you okay, Eddie?

- Yes, fantastic

- You smell gingerbread?

- Must be my facial cream

Merry Christmas

8:05

Well, give him a little lead-in

Maybe he's stuck in traffic

No, no, no, no, no

That's it. Time's up

Fine

- What the heck?

- Top of the morning Eddie

Hi, Eddie

- Did you sleep well?

- You look good. Well rested

Well, we got a super exciting day

for you planned

Are you ready, Eddie?

That rhymes. "Ready, Eddie"

- Shut up

- All right, Eddie come on

It's going to be so much fun!

You excited? I am excited

Are you excited?

It's going to be a fun day

I'm so excited

I'm excited, she's excited, you're

excited We're all excited. Let's go

So much excitement in the air

You going to leave the bed

like that?

- Yes

- Yes

- How about some cup of coffee?

- You want some coffee?

- Yes

- I'll get you some coffee

- What did you want?

- Just coffee

I hear that's French

Hey, how about that cup

of coffee?

Where did you go?

- Hello?

- ''You're late, late, late''

Yes, I know

I'm sorry about that

''You're going to be...

going to be, going to be''

When we tell you to be somewhere

at 8:00 a.m you be there at 8 a.m.!

- Are we clear?

- Yes

- What was that?

- I said, yes

The only two words I want to hear

out of your mouth is, "Sir, yes sir"

- Do you understand me?

- That's three words

- Sir, yes, sir!

- I can't hear you

- Sir, yes, sir

- I still can't hear you

- Sir yes sir!

- I can't!

It's your first day!

I'm so excited!

Today, we will be working

on strength and conditioning

As Santa, you have to go through

a bunch of rigorous activities

- that includes...

- He gets it

Now, get your butt started

Come on, move it

Are you ready for Santa's winter

wonder-hell course?

No

Good. Now, go, go, go, go, go!

Come on! Let's go! Go, go, go, go!

- Eddie, go, go, go, go, go!

- Go, go, go, go!

- Eddie!

- Santa doesn't take breaks

Hey, hey! hey!

Santa doesn't take breaks!

Eddie faster, faster, faster!

Go, go, go!

Eddie, grab the sack

Grab, grab, grab the sack

Put it...grab the sack Eddie

Over, Eddie

Positive attitude, Eddie!

Positive attitude! Go, Eddie, go!

Go, go, go. Let's go. Here we go

Keep on running back

Come on you can do it. No, you

can't. Yes you can. Come on

There's lots of Santas

to take your place

Come on Eddie Son of

a nutcracker this guy is slow

- Come on!

- Go, go, go

Get your nose out there

Get your nose out there

Watch out for the naughty children

They're not that naughty, Eddie

Don't worry

No, they're naughty

No, no they're very, very naughty

''Naughty or nice, Eddie?''

''Naughty or nice?''

''Eddie...''

- Come on, Eddie!

- Get off me

Slippy, Dippy

Don't make me go...

You're evil kids

Hey! Get off! Get off me!

Faster, faster, faster, Eddie

Do I see slacking?

Do I see slacking?

Push! Push! Push! Push! Push!

Push! Push!

Come on, Eddie

Come on, come on, come on

Come on Eddie

Come on, Eddie

Go, Eddie, go!

Go, Eddie, go!

Breathe, Eddie! Breathe!

Breathe! Breathe!

Santa doesn't fall

Santa does not fall

Eddie!

Come on, Eddie!

Come on, Eddie!

You got a long...

Move it! Move it!

Move it!

Come on! Come on!

That was... pathetic

Eddie, you are so pathetic

You're so pathetic, Eddie

You're so pathetic

He's so cute

Look, he's so cute

He looks so cute

Eddie, what happened?

- What happened?

- You passed out

- It was sad

- You know, you do that a lot

- What time is it?

- It's past 3:00 already

I got to go pick up Gabby

Late again. That is not going

to look good on the old resume

See you here tomorrow!

That is funny, Eddie

You want to know why?

Because when I had to leave work

early to pick up Gabby

after you said you would

I wasn't stuck in traffic

because there wasn't any!

Yes, you should be!

That is obvious!

You know, it's one thing to always

keep me waiting, but now Gabby?

Eddie, I had to leave work early

which means I didn't get to do it

so now I have to finish it at home

No, do not come here

Absolutely not

And then I have to wonder when

you're going to bring her home

I don't think so. I've been just as

understanding as you have been

- Mom, please

- No!

My God!

"If you're going to be Santa Claus

you need to live like Santa Claus"

"Love, Slippy and Dippy"

- Eddie!

- Hello

- Eddie! Put it there bro!

- Let us do it!

- My man Eddie G

- Hey

You guys notice anything

different about Eddie lately?

Only that he's super awesome now

He used to be all broody

and cranky

Now he's super fun

- And he smells delicious

- Delicious?

Like fresh-baked cakes

and cookies

Jenny in Accounting said

she gave him a kiss on the cheek

the other day because

he helped her out with something

and not only did he smell like

cookies, he tasted like them too

What are you guys talking about?

Jeez! I just want to go over there

and lick his face

Am I the only one that notices

his skin looks like a lizard?

Don't be such a hater. It's the

new skin care products he's using

You should be ashamed

for yourself

for judging what's on the outside

instead of what's on the inside

Let's go

Rude

- Hi, Eddie

- Hello there

- ''So good to see you''

- ''Yes, of course''

''It's Christmas time''

- Hi, Eddie

- What is wrong with you two?

Nothing that I can see. Everything

seems to be in order

Why?

Do you see something wrong?

Have you ever heard

of knocking?

Why, yes, of course

Knocking

Maybe you should try it

out sometime

before popping up

while I'm taking my bath

But if we knocked

then you wouldn't be surprised

Exactly

What do you want?

- It's time for your training

- Now?

- What other time is there?

- I am taking my bath

He's taking a bath

No, no! Don't do it

Fine, fine, I'll do it. I'll do it

Okay, so let's go!

Go, go, go! Come on!

He's not moving

Why isn't he moving?

Could I have

some privacy, please?

- Why?

- Because I am naked

Fine

We're going to make a note

of this on your report

"Late because naked"

Good

There you are. Take a seat

- During your first week of training

- Which you were pathetic at

- Thanks

- You're welcome

During your first week of training

You dealt with some of the physical

challenges Santa has to face

Now that we're

in our second week...

We're going to have to step it up

because there's only

ten days left till Christmas

I'm sorry

I'm not sorry

Now that we're in our second week

you will not only have to handle

more physical challenges

but mental challenges as well

"What is the circumference

of the earth?"

"How many square feet

is the continent of Africa?"

That is easy

"Where would you find the most

remote islands on earth?"

How would I know

any of this?

You should know

because Santa needs to know

- Yes

- Why would I have to know

the square footage

of the continent of Africa?

Because you do

Now, you have one hour

to complete this examination

- Pencils ready

- I don't have a pencil

Begin

Pencils down

- No, no, it is all right

- What?

It is wrong

P-minus?

That is not even a real grade

No, Eddie

Yes, yes, it is. P, for "Pathetic"

Eddie!

What?

Make sure you memorize

all that for next time

Wednesday, warehouse

3:00 p.m. sharp

Wednesday?

Hey boss. Got those naughty

list papers for you to sign

Just... Just leave them there

Hey, shouldn't you be

on Santa training detail?

We're sorry you got passed over

for a promotion, by the way

I think you would have

made a great Santa

Yes, so do I. I would take this

organization to where it should be

No more free rides for kids

So, okay, so you've been

a spoiled brat this whole year

You take out the garbage once...

Once and you're on the nice list?

- Not on my watch

- I hear you, boss

These Santas have ruined

Christmas

If I was the boss, I would stick

coal in every kid's stockings

It's going to happen

Soon enough

In another 30 years, maybe?

- Maybe not

- That's it?

You're just going to leave me

hanging like that?

Well, Matilda, I can't reveal

all my secrets

Everything will be told in due time

- Hey, honey

- Daddy!

How are you baby?

- No traffic today?

- So good to see you

No

Thanks for doing this, okay?

She wouldn't stop

pestering me, so...

Here we go

I am going to talk

to your mom, okay?

Where do they get

all the energy from?

What?

No, she just loves being with you

And you're so good with her

You know why? Because

we're the same age up here

Finally, something we both

can agree on

- You think you're attractive?

- I guess

Two things we agree on

See?

Look, I just wanted to talk

to you about something

and now it might not be

the right time, but... Look

I know this is not

the life you planned

- Eddie

- No, I...

I think we should work it out. We

should do it for Gabby, you know?

I do hate seeing her upset

all the time

Her not really understanding why

you're not living with us anymore

I don't understand why

I'm not living there anymore

- Eddie

- I'm just kidding

I know

Believe me, I know

You know, you got a big heart

and you're funny

And you can be anything

that you want to be, but...

- But what?

- No buts

I just don't want Gabby to grow up

without a father, like I did

I don't want her to do that

- How about we have dinner?

- Really?

Yes. Yes. We'll sit and we'll talk

and we'll hash everything out

No judgments, no getting angry

at each other. Just talking

All right, but I think we're going to

have to call your mom to referee

No, just you and I

- How about we go to Claro's?

- Our Claro's?

- The one and only

- Okay. I could swing that

So are you going... Are you going

to let me know when?

- Okay

- When?

I don't know

I have to check my schedule

- You're going to call me?

- Yes, I'm going to call you

You're going to pick up

the phone and call me, right?

Yes, jeez, don't make a big

deal out of it. It's just dinner

Daddy, look what I got

How come I don't get

one of those?

Maybe you'll get one for Christmas

who knows?

Maybe you're right

It's time to go honey

Come on

Hey, give me a hug

- I love you with all my heart

- I love you more

- Eddie, Eddie, Eddie

- Hi

- Hi. Come on in

- Can I clean anything?

No, no, no

Not this time, please

Of course. Thank you

Slippy and Dippy, please

Don't jump out at me, okay?

- Hi Eddie!

- Hi Eddie!

Why do you do that all the time?

It keeps you on your toes

You're going to love

today's training

It's the cookies and milk portion

Now you're talking

Food, yes!

As Santa, every home you visit

will be leaving you a special treat

as a way of saying thank you

And now we'll eat this treat as a

way of saying, "You're welcome"

So on the count of three

you're going to eat

as many cookies as you can

as fast as you can

and you're going to guzzle milk

as fast as you can till I say to stop

Okay, go

One, two, three. Okay, continue

Yes, come on

- Good

- Yes, yes, yes Okay

Chug, chug chug, chug, chug

chug, chug chug, nice!

They used to tell me

that all the time in college

Go, come on. We want a fat Santa

Do you want a fat Santa?

We want a fat Santa

Come on, eat the cookies

Running out of time

Two at a time. Double-fisted

There you go. Nice. Continue

- Cookies very healthy

- Come on, come on

This should be all

- All done?

- All done

- Well, I think you did a good job

- Did an amazing job

I mean, I thought for a moment

I was not going to enjoy it

but I love my milk and cookies

That's good. That's good

Because you're not done yet

You sorry excuse

for the next Santa!

Turn around!

Yes. Go. Come on

Get chewing, let us go. Here

we go, come on, come on...

You guys are the best

Take a cookie, Yes, here

Here, Yes. Enjoy, enjoy

Yes. Please, take it

Good one. Good one

''Take it, take it

Here, smell it. See?''

''So good...

You guys are the best''

I am never eating again. I literally

puked a lake of cookies and milk

- That's good

- Yes, more room for dinner

Dinner?

Hi there, I'm sorry

I'm here to see my wife, actually

She's... She's right there

Thank you

Hi, honey

I'm sorry I'm late

I'm used to it by now

- I know I had it coming. I'm sorry

- Forget I said that. I'm sorry

That's okay. I understand

I guess I'm just

you know, still trying

to get used to our

situation, I guess

Maybe it's because

you don't want to get used to it?

Well, I really wanted

to tell you that...

- Welcome, my name is Pablo

- Hello Pablo

Thank you

I ordered you a croqueta

No, thank you

Not right now

- But you love croquetas

- No, it's fine

I'm just trying to stay away

from fried food. You know...

- Really?

- Would you like

- another mojito miss?

- No, I'm still good with this one

Thank you

- Are you sure?

- Yes I'm fine, thank you

- Can I get you a drink sir?

- Nothing, thank you

- No?

- I do not want

- Your sure Sir?

- Sure? Super sure!

Well, we have different specials

tonight of wines and beers

- Water, only water please

- Water?

- You were saying...

- With lime Sir?

- With lime?

- Yes! Lime!

- Yes, with line is fine. Whatever

- So I was...

Well yes it is very important, if

you want lime, I will put lime!

With lime!

- At your service Sir!

- Thank you

You were saying?

You were a little rude

Don't you think?

I'm sorry, I'll apologize

to Pedro when he comes back

- Pablo

- Okay, Pablo, Pedro, whatever

I'll apologize, okay?

I was going to say that I know that

you're trying to be a better person

but from what I just saw

I don't think that still stands

I promise, I will apologize to him

I promise. Tell Pedro that I'm sorry

- What were you saying? Okay

- Pablo

He's just trying

to do his job, Eddie

Yes. And I'm trying to do mine

you know?

I'm trying to be a good father

Trying to be a good husband

I have something lined up

that is really good

- that I'm working really hard on

- What is it?

Your water sir... with lime

Well tonight we have

different specials!

Here we have shrimp

fishes, octopus

All the different kinds of seafood!

Well, what about the specials, Sir?

Eddie

What's wrong? Eddie?

- Hi, Eddie

- Hi, Eddie

What are you guys doing

in my fridge?

You know, just chilling

Because that's what

refrigerators do... Chill

Looks a little sad

Don't you think, Slippy?

He does Dippy. What's wrong

Eddie? Dinner didn't go well?

It didn't go at all. Now

Clara hates me more than ever

Well, then you need

to be cheered up

And I have just the thing

Here, have some pie

- I would rather die

- You're still a swell guy

We should totally be rappers

I already am. I wrap toys

at the workshop all the time

That is... Guys

Guys, listen to me

At first, it seemed to be okay

but now it's getting out of...

I think... I think you have

a little right there, right...

No, no, right there

You got a little... I'm sorry

Were you saying something?

Hey, listen, I don't want to...

Do you want to know what

happens to the man

that turns down the role of Santa?

Do you? Do you? Do you?

Well, first he's dismembered

limb by limb by Santa's army

of ravenous polar bears

Then his friends are eaten too

His family. His daughters. His wife

Do you want that, Eddie?

Do you? No?

Didn't think so

No, he's just kidding about that

Polar bears really eat your family?

No, come on. It's Santa

Jolly old guy?

He's not going to let polar bears

eat everyone in our family

It would just be you, Eddie

It would only eat you

Wait, wait, no, no

She's just kidding. Relax

Or am I? Eddie, no, wait!

Eddie!

''As Santa''

''You'll experience various

elements throughout your journey''

''including but not limited to...''

- How's it going, boss?

- Well, Matilda, you know what?

Eddie is doing as well

as I expect for such a screw-up

And the two elves are certainly

helping him with that

Well, that's good, right?

Good? I need great

I need great

I need to guarantee that he's

not going to be the next Santa

How can you do that?

Silent Simon

Silent Simon? No, boss!

No! You can't

That's a big mistake

Boss... Boss, wait

Boss you can't

Boss, Simon is unstable

He's uncontrollable, unhinged

unsympathetic

and any other "un" word

you can think of

- Boss he's just too dangerous

- That is exactly why I need him

This just doesn't really feel like

one of your most clever ideas

Maybe we can go back to the

workshop

What do you say?

You're a very clever man

You think we should abort this

mission ASAP, don't you think?

Let's just go back. Boss, this

really isn't a good... idea

Boss please

Well, hello, Simon

Eddie!

Hi! This way

Where?

Hey, where did you go?

Slippy, Dippy?

- Hi, Eddie!

- Hi, Eddie!

God, you're going to give me

a heart attack

then you're not going to have

a Santa anymore

It's all part of your training

Santa can't be scared, startled

or caught off guard

Need to toughen up, okay?

What are we doing here?

Tonight is a very important

training session

Tomorrow night is Christmas Eve

so you need to learn how to sneak

into homes and leave presents

as quietly as you can

without getting caught

Santa doesn't sneak in

He's Santa Claus

Well, how does he get in?

I don't know

Through the chimney

What if the house

doesn't have a chimney?

- He poofs right in

- Poofs in?

Yes, he poofs in

There he is, Santa Claus

- You have so much to learn

- Okay

So for today's lesson, you're going

to go and leave some presents

in the home as quietly as you can

Okay. What else?

I already sprung the lock for you

since you're new

and today's your first session

When you're Santa, you'll

be able to open up any lock

on any door whenever you want

Okay. Can't be too hard

Let us go, Let us do this

Ready?

I'm ready

- Look, there's somebody here

- Of course

What kind of lesson

on silence would this be

if there wasn't anybody there

to hear you?

This is not a training session

This is breaking and entering

Did we break anything?

I am leaving

Why are you guys

whispering?

You're not leaving

You're not leaving till you deliver

those presents to that tree

I'm not going to jail

because of the two of you

Then don't get caught

- Don't make a sound

- Shut up

- Guys, guys

- What?

It is Silent Simon

Who the heck is "Simon" Simon?

He's the exact opposite

of what an elf should be

- Unloving, unhappy, bad

- Selfish, greedy, miserable

- Ornery, irritable, grumpy

- Sullen, uptight, bitter

Yes, I get it. He's cranky

- I think he hears you

- No. He's smiling!

- Is that a good thing?

- It's a very, very bad thing

Dada! Dada! Dada

Dada, I love you!

- How do we beat this guy?

- We can't

What?

He's unbeatable, guys

He's unstoppable

Eddie it was nice knowing you

And Dippy, it's been an honor

My friends!

Get off me

Hey! Come out

with your hands up!

We're alive. We're alive

We're alive!

Amazing!

Hey! Freeze!

I can explain everything

Thank God you guys showed up

because we had a rogue elf

- that would have killed us. Yes

- Rogue elf?

Not just a rogue elf, the worst elf

you could possibly imagine

The worst of the worst

I don't know what you guys are on

but it certainly sounds special

- I would like to think so

- Mind your head

Are we going to go for a ride?

Head, please

- Surprise!

- Listen, I was training

to be Santa

I'm not supposed to be here

So I need to get out

as soon as possible

Nobody's supposed to be here

You'll have fun. It's good training

This is fun!

Look, I'm a felon

because of you two

- Thank you

- You're welcome

Guess you're still working

on that sarcasm thing?

Well, it's always polite to respond

with "you are welcome"

When someone says "thanks"

All right, can we get

out of here, please?

Can you do any of those elf things

and just poof us out of here?

Given the circumstances

I'm going to forget that you just

asked about poofing again

Besides

they took our candy canes

Do you think

they'll give them back?

The bigger question here is

how did Silent Simon get out?

Yes

Who let him out of the Cage?

- The Cage?

- Given that you're going to be

the next Santa

you should probably know

Know what?

Long ago...

Long ago, during

the reign of the first Santa...

''He had the idea

to create the perfect elf'

''He wanted one that would

never tire of making toys''

''Wouldn't ever lose

the Christmas spirit''

''And most importantly, they

could do double the work''

''in half the time''

''But somewhere along the way...

things went terribly wrong''

''And Silent Simon was born''

''It was like everything Santa

wanted the elf to be...''

''Except the opposite''

''He was better, stronger

and faster than the other elves''

''But he lacked all

Christmas spirit, joy and fun''

- Like a bizarro elf?

- Yes. Yes, Eddie

You could say that

Anyway...

Santa tried working with him

to put him on the right path

But things just

continued to get worse

''Something had to be done''

''It took Santa and 12 other elves

to take him down''

''They put him in an inescapable

prison under the ice''

''We call it the Cage''

''And that's where

Silent Simon has been''

''Locked away, where

he can't hurt anyone''

But as far as I know

only Santa has access to the Cage

Santa would never let Silent Simon

out. Something smells fishy

You think something's going

down in the North Pole?

No, no, no, something

actually smells fishy

I think it's him

It's him

How is it possible that

the worst elf ever created

got his butt kicked by two moron

elves and one slacker janitor?

Well, he didn't get his butt kicked

In fact, he was about to finish

the job when the cops showed up

Silent Simon had to get

out of there

Like that makes it any better

Where is he now?

Off the grid

One thing I have learned, if

you want things done right

You got to do it yourself, You know

what? Pack your bags, Matilda

- Where are we going?

- Miami

Hey, Garcia

Come on, man. You're up

Honey, thank you for coming

I'm sorry I had to call you

I don't want more explanations!

This was that something big

you were working on?

- Becoming a thief?

- No

this is a mistake. It's their fault

I had nothing to do with it

What's this? Yes, the divorce

papers? You want to do this now?

And I'm going to file for full custody

Please Clara! Not her, not now!

Hold on, hold on, you got

to get processed out first

Come on, you can't break

the rules once in a while?

- No, no, I can't

- Not even once?

Get your property

Done? We are good?

We are done, we are good

Hi, Eddie! Didn't jump. Well done

You ready to get to work?

We've got a great session

for you today

I'm done. Forget it

What? You can't be done

You didn't even start

Listen, I'm done with you guys

I am done with the Santa thing

I am done

This about last night?

You know

We're sorry about that

You're sorry? That's all you're

going to say, is that you're sorry?

We are really sorry?

This is not worth it

Wait, Eddie, no

You can't just quit

Eddie, tonight's the big night

You must be Gabby, no?

''Gabby! I told you not to open

the door for anybody!''

How do you know?

Can I help you?

Yes, you may

I thought I made myself clear

We know

We just wanted to deliver

your Christmas gift before we left

You know what I want

for Christmas?

My life back

Must have been a good one

Yes, it was!

Now, get out!

Okay. I'm just going to leave

these out here

Take care, Eddie

Yes. See you, Eddie

Merry Christmas

''Something is

happening, guys''

- What's going on?

- ''Give me that''

- ''Listen up, Sleepy and Dopey''

- It's Dippy

''Shut up. If Eddie ever wants

to see his family again...''

''He would better not even think

about flying that sleigh tonight''

- Eddie! Open up, Eddie!

- Eddie! Eddie!

- ''Eddie!''

- ''Eddie, open up!''

''Eddie!''

Stand back

Are you guys nuts?

- Eddie

- ''Well, hello, Eddie''

- ''Daddy!''

- Gabby?

''And we're back at Watsco Center

at the University of Miami''

''for a special Christmas exhibition

basketball game''

Hello, U Nation. Welcome back

and this goes out to all of you

who were unable to make it home

this Christmas

Sorry

Between the three of us

we'll find them

Are you sure about that?

Santa!

They love me

Look at this

Hey, I hope those two elves

are nicer than the last ones

Wait, what did you say?

The two elves, they're definitely

on the naughty list man

They do a good dance

- Where did you see me?

- What?

- Where did you see me?

- What?

- Where did you see me?

- In the laundry room

Come on, guys

Hey, Eddie, I am onto you, man!

Those girls are nuts!

It's the same old Eddie

Hey, I need those elves

Eddie? Eddie?

- Well, hello, Eddie

- Who is this guy?

Is that my clone?

Do I actually look like that?

Eddie, I love your job

Hey, you guys

Shut up, clone

Now you two listen up

Drop the candy, or the lady gets it

Come on, do it. Do what he

says, please. Go, come on

Now kick it over

All right, listen

Just let them go now, okay?

No. They are going

to stay here till midnight

Till you forfeit

your chance of being Santa

What?

You did not tell her?

Mrs. Garcia your husband over

here had a chance

at being Santa Claus

That's not going to happen

because that's my job

You will never be Santa

No, Slippy?

You know what happens

if the chosen Santa

- can not fulfill his duties?

- Christmas is canceled?

- No, dummy

- It's Dippy

What happens is that a

temporary Santa is appointed

And you know who that temporary

Santa might be?

Who? The Easter Bunny

No

Me. The head elf

But that will never happen

because the selected Santa

is picked from the best of the best

That's why you weren't chosen

And you think he is?

Santa didn't choose him

I chose Eddie. He's not Santa

material. He's lazy

Unworthy, unmotivated

Non-Christmas-spirit-having

quitter!

In his file, it says, "worst possible

candidate in the world"

In the whole world

He is right. I am a quitter

and I already quit. Ask them

- It is true he quit this morning

- Excellent

So now let them go

I can't do that

Why? You got what you want

Let them go

No. If I let them go, you could

just turn around an un-quit

And I need my little

insurance policy back there

So we are all going to just sit here

nice and cozy, until it is too late

So we are just going to

wait here until midnight?

Yes

It is going to get awfully boring

- Shut up, Dopey

- It's Dippy!

But wait. If Eddie

does not become Santa Claus

we're not going to have

Christmas, you guys

What do you care?

You're not even real

But he smells really nice

Just like the workshop

Knock it off

Let us go. Come on

Come here. Watch her

I will go get her

Gabby! Gabby!

Let's go. Let's go

- Daddy!

- Come on

- No! Daddy!

- Go in there. Go in there

Daddy! Dad!

''Ladies and gentlemen''

''Welcome to this special

Christmas Eve exhibition game''

''between the Miami Hurricanes

and...''

''And there is a man on the floor''

I'm so sorry I put you guys through

this. Thank God you are okay

It's not over yet

Nothing has changed

Tick-tock

Tick-tock. Tick-tock

I am sorry, I am going

to have to go somewhere

- Go? Where?

- The North Pole

- Really?

- Yes, I can't let him be Santa

So this was the big project you

have been working on? Santa?

I will tell you all about it

I will wait up for you

All right, hold on

One, two... three!

Can we go any faster?

Can we just poof there?

What is up with you

and all this poofing?

Yes, stop it with the poofing

We don't just poof places

Get the presents packed up

Get the reindeer hooked up

We got five minutes

Get that sleigh ready. Come on

I think we are going to make it!

- Eddie?

- Eddie?

Wait, it is right here. We got

to go. Where are you going?

In order to fly Santa's sleigh

you have to look the part. Go

What?

It is okay. Just remember

your training... Santa

Jeez Eddie!

A little notice next time

Hello, Eddie

- Santa!

- Santa!

Dad?

- Dad?

- Dad?

- All this time?

- Well, at least

for the past 30 years

That is why I was not around

Because you were Santa

Why didn't you tell me?

I thought you didn't want

to be around me anymore

No, No, No, my son!

That was not the reason!

Rules are rules

I can not tell anyone

I am sorry I was away

all the time, Eddie

Forgive me son!

Wait. Dad, you are

the one who recruited me

Well, in a sense. I knew Bruno

was up to something

I knew he would not let the perfect

candidate be trained for Santa

So when he started looking

for the worst of the worst

I made sure your name

would come up

Thanks, Dad

Here

They grow up so fast

I am proud of you, son

Bruno tried to set you up

but you came out on top

He thought he was sending two

incompetent elves to train you

but he did not count on

their Christmas spirit

Thanks

- Was that a compliment?

- I am not sure

Dad...

I don't want to break up

the moment, guys, but...

Okay, we got two minutes to get

you on that... the-the-the... Sir

- Let us go

- Right. Let us go

I will help you. Come on

Come on, out of the way

Since Bruno's gone, I'm going to

stick around for a couple of months

to show you the ropes

until you settle in

Wait, Dad

You are going to leave me again?

I'll be back, I promise

But after 30 years on the job

Santa needs some time off

- They are all yours

- Tick-tock, Eddie

Wait, does that mean that

I'm not going to be spending

any Christmas with Gabby

just like you did with me?

That is part of the job

I can't let that happen

I don't want her to grow up like that

I understand why you did it and I

forgive you for it, but I can't...

If you don't leave in one minute

Bruno will be the next Santa

You have to think

of all the children in the world

- not just your own, Eddie

- She will understand, Eddie

Just like you're understanding now

But I can't change that, or bring

those memories back into my life

or Gabby's life

Santa cannot be in two places

at the same time

Yes, I know, I can't be in two

places at the same time

- Yes?

- Thirty seconds

Besides, those are the rules

All right

He's doing it!

I hate rules, Dad

How do you

get this thing going anyway?

On, Dasher!

On, Dancer! On Prancer!

Bye, Eddie!

Remember your training

I got to work on that

- Daddy!

- Hey, honey Quiet, honey

What are you doing here?

I came here because

I have something to tell you

Be quiet, because we don't

want to wake up mommy, okay?

- Okay

- Listen, I...

I want to tell you something

that I am really sorry

Really sorry that you are

in the middle of the problem

- between Mommy and I

- It's okay

No, no, just listen to me, please

I want you to know

that I am sorry for everything

I am sorry that me and your

mommy put you through all this

That you've been like in the center

of our problems, and I don't...

- Dad, I know...

- Listen to me

I love you more than anything

You know that, right?

And... And... And I should have

been there for you, and I wasn't

And I want you to know that

I will always be there for you

no matter what

You know, I'll never, ever miss

a Christmas with you, I promise

So you're not going to be

Santa anymore?

No. No, I am but...

You see Santa Claus is nothing

without his helpers

And I'm here to ask you

if you want to help me out

and come on the sleigh tonight

and, say for the next 30 years?

- I love you!

- I love you, baby

Now, let's get you a coat, okay?

It's going to be pretty cold

- Okay

- Okay, come on, honey

Freeze! Don't move!

What, this again? I'm Santa

Claus, for crying out loud

Yes, for sure, buddy

Like we haven't

heard that one before

I think he bought it

Slippy and Dippy

- Yes and you are late!

- What?

You should have been in Africa...

15 minutes ago

Yes!

Well, you can't talk to me that way

because I'm Santa Claus now

Can't talk to me that...

What?

Sir, you can not talk to me that way

because I am Santa Claus, sir

- That is what I thought

- He gets really

into the role of drill sergeant

- Now, let us move it, people!

- So, how is it going, Santa?

I'm sure he's doing fine. We got

to go! Move it, move it, move it!

Hey, let's sing a song

''Eddie the sucky Santa

had a very sucky life''

''Then he met Dippy and Slippy

now he is doing all right''
