Eureka (2006–2012): Season 4, Episode 21 - Do You See What I See - full transcript

In Eureka's "Do You See What I See," the quaint town of geniuses is transformed into animated versions of themselves. Sheriff Carter (Colin Ferguson) and Allison Blake (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) are secretly planning the perfect holiday surprise for their kids. But a mysterious kaleidoscopic wave of color crashes over Eureka, leaving the entire town and its inhabitants animated. Leading production and entertainment company Curious Pictures will produce the animation featured in the episode, which will be broken up into different styles including Anime, claymation, animation inspired by the Looney Tunes cartoons and modern cg.

[deck the halls plays]

*

- 'twas the night
before christmas

and all through the house--

That is, all through me--

Not a creature was stirring,

except sheriff carter
and doctor blake.

- Wow. Think you went
a little overboard

decking the halls here?

- I think that s.a.r.a.h.
Looks beautiful.

- Thank you, Dr. Blake.



I feel so festive.

- Hey, can you hand me the
talking polar bear over there?

Jenna is dying for it.
- Yeah.

Wow, then, uh--then
you're almost done, right?

- I'm in the homestretch.

Let's see,
I've stuffed the stockings,

hung the mistletoe,
roasted chestnuts...

And--
Oh, man.

I forgot
the silicon air battery.

- Oh, no,
not the silicon air--

What are we going to do
without a silicon air battery?

- It's the power source
for one of jenna's gifts.

- You're going to get it now?

- Trust me,
once she opens it,



she's going to want
to use it right away.

- Ally...

Why don't
you just sit down, huh?

Relax, enjoy the holidays?

- Have you met me before?
This is how I enjoy it.

Honey, this is the one time a
year we can make a little magic.

And don't think I haven't seen
you and henry conspiring.

- I have no idea
what you're talking about.

- [Laughs]
- none at all.

- See,
it's just our folks.

- Jenna thought
she heard santa claus.

[laughter]

- what are you doing awake?

Okay, listen,
those gifts are from us,

but if you want santa
to bring his presents,

you're going to have to go
to sleep.

- Yeah,
good luck with that.

- All right, how about
we read one more story?

The sooner you go to bed,
the sooner you can wake up,

and then we can all open
our presents together.

- Say, "yes, mommy."
- Yes, mommy.

- That's my girl.

All right, baby,
I will be back in a bit.

- All right, me too.

I'm going to go
check on andy.

Not even a robot should be alone
on christmas eve.

- All right, one story,
and right to bed.

- I'll try.
- Oh.

- They all wanted to make
the perfect christmas,

but this was eureka.

- [Grunts]

hi, guys.

Managed to, uh, sneak away.
We still on schedule?

- Yes, sirree, all systems go
for operation ho, ho, ho.

That's our code name for the big
christmas-morning surprise.

- Ingenious.

- And I made
all the kids' favorites--

Snickerdoodles,
fudge, fruitcake.

- Yeah,
we're almost set up here.

You want a--
You want a sneak peek?

- Yeah, hit me.

- Here we go.

[electronic humming]

- that's a peek,
all right.

- Don't worry--
A few minor adjustments,

and your winter wonderland

will be up and running again
in no time.

- I hope so.

It's my only wish
this christmas.

- [Gasps]
I have one, too.

And I have been
such a good boy.

- You don't actually...

Of course you do,

I just hope
that henry and fargo

have the snow-making machine
ready.

- You mean
the super-photon generator?

- Sure. Yeah.

Just can't wait to see the kids'
faces when they wake up

and the whole town's
covered in snow.

- It's going to be awesome.

- "He sprang to his sleigh,
to his team gave a whistle,

"and away they all flew
like the down of a thistle,

"but I heard him exclaim
as he drove out of sight,

'happy christmas to all
and to all a good night.'"

[laughter]

- let's play.

- Jenna, we have
to go to bed.

- There's no way
she's going to go.

- Well, maybe
you could help?

- I don't know.
Let her open her present.

You want to open a present?

- Okay, yeah, like your mom
would be okay with that.

That's not how
your family does christmas.

- Yeah, but jack says
you guys always open one present

on christmas eve.

And aren't we a part
of your family now?

- Wow.
You're good.

Okay, jenna, one present,

then we have
to go to sleep, okay?

- Sit.

- Oh, my god.

It's holotown.

- What's it do?

- "Imagine a journey
with turns and twists,

your greatest adventure
within exists."

- "You make the choices,
decide what, where, and when.

Create your own holotown.
Ready? Begin."

- You want to play?

yes?
Okay, let's do it.

- Oh, I don't think we can.
There's no battery.

Oh, well,
beddy-bye time.

- I bet I can find something
to start it up.

Be right back.

- Thanks, kevin.

- Thanks, kevin.

- Allison?
- [Gasps]

oh.
- sorry.

- [Laughs]
you startled me.

- I wasn't expecting
anyone to be here.

- Oh, well, I need this
for one of jenna's presents.

What are you
still doing here?

- I let my team
have the night off.

- You know, you can activate
automatic security protocols.

You don't have to work
on christmas eve either.

Why don't you come over?

- Oh, uh, thanks.

Um, but I'm good.

- Hmm.
- I like it like this.

It's the only time
it's calm at g.d.

- [Chuckles]

[pda rings]

- when will I learn?

- System overload--
Shut it down.

- I'm trying.
I've lost contact.

There's some sort
of interference.

- I should have known.
- What is going on?

- Uh, nothing.
- Really?

Because it looks like
our super-photon generator

has gone berserk.

- Well, it's just a glitch
which we can't seem to identify.

Now, fargo, you have inspected
the generator site

and confirmed the connections?

- I made a list.
I checked it twice.

- Why are you two messing
with this stuff now?

- It's classified.

But--
Ah, no need to panic.

I can restore contact
from here.

- You were saying?

- Hmm.

[rumbling]

- hey, guys?

What is that?

- Must be
the super-photon generator.

- Huh.

Maybe they set it
off early.

- That just means
more snow, right?

- Uh, that doesn't look
like snow.

- Definitely not snow!

[all screaming]

- definitely not snow.

- * fa, la, la,
la, la, la, la *

* fa, la, la,
la, la, la *

* la, la, la, la

- do you see what I see?

- Either that, or I'm dreaming.
Pinch me, sheriff.

- Take my word for it.
You're awake.

Andy, why are we cartoons?

- I believe
we only appear to be.

The explosion of super-photons
must have changed

the way our eyes
are translating light.

It may be altering
our perception.

- You ask for a simple
white christmas, right?

A little bit of snow.

Allison?
Small issue.

- We noticed.
We're working on it.

Fargo and henry
lost communication

with the super-photon
generator.

- Did they tell you
what they were doing?

- It's classified, apparently.

- Good.
Um, hey...

How long is this misperception
thing going to last?

- The super-photons
haven't dissipated,

which means the generator
is still leaking.

- Jack, you'll have to stop
the flow manually.

- Manually.

- I'll meet you
at the site.

- You hear that?

- Yeah,
so it's temporary.

We patch the leak,
back to normal.

- Better be.
- The kids...

- I tried them--
Can't get through.

- Probably asleep.

Will s.a.r.a.h.'s shielding
protect them?

- Yes, but we have to fix this
by morning,

or there goes
our perfect christmas.

- I'm on it.

[sighs]

I've been planning
this surprise for weeks.

Why is there always a hitch?
- Don't worry, boss.

There's plenty of time
to fix this.

It's only midnight.

- Not anymore.

- Huh.

- Yeah, that's how
you make it morning.

You push
the sun for daytime,

and then you push
the moon for night.

- Sweet.

Let me try.
- Kevin, it's jenna's.

- It only works 'cause
of my hover board battery.

[electronic whirring]

- yeah, I don't think
a lithium-air battery

is compatible
with this system.

- Whatever, all right?
At least we have power.

- Here, jenna,
you try.

[electronic whirring]

- huh.

Oh. Mm-hmm.

hmm.
That's new.

- Another perception issue?
- Perhaps a shared delusion.

The super-photons
may be creating

a hallucinogenic effect.

- All right,
let's stop this leak

before we get stuck this way.

- That one?
What about that one?

[beep]

- all right, jenna,

your christmas adventure
begins...

now.

- * do you see what I see?

- * do you see what I see?

- * way up in the sky,
little lamb *

- I feel kind of funny.
- Are you getting carsick?

Do not get carsick on me.

Can you even get carsick?

- Actually, my vestibular system
is quite sensitive,

but this is, uh, different.

[whimsical music]

- oh, deer crossing here!

- This is different.

- We have a problem.
- Ya think?

Why do you look
like the tin man?

- Why do you look
like dudley do-right?

- I--

Hmm. I do.

[horn honks]

[screaming]
I have a hat?

Aw, I don't like this
at all.

- Look out!
[tires screeching]

[both screaming]

ow! Ow! Ah! Ooh!

- What the hell's going on?

[engine revs]

- I'll tell you
what's going on.

I'm done.

- Did my jeep
just yell at me?

- Your jeep--
Typical.

I'm just
an object to you--

A tool to use and abuse,

four wheels and a chassis.

You look at me
when I'm talking to you.

- Yay.
- Let's go.

- I get to fix it.

[tools laughing]

[tools clanking]

- day in, day out--
Oh, yeah, thank you very much.

I give you my all,
and what do I get in return?

Firebombed, flattened,
melted, blown up,

shot into space,
and now this.

Enough!

- Okay, hang on, uh, eepy.

- No, you hang on.

You're not
the boss of me anymore.

You're on your own.
[engine turning]

and my name is carl.

[tires squeal]

[both coughing]

- henry, we've dealt with some
strange things in our day,

but, please...

Try to explain this.

- [Stammering]

- oh, dear.

- Oh!
This is humiliating.

Clearly, there's been
a disturbance of our--

[stammering]

[rapidly]
neurotransmitters,

perhaps a peduncular
hallucinosis

manifesting as a--

- Oh, okay.
Sit tight.

Fargo?
Where are you?

Boing!

- [Stammering]

[laughing]

- oh, go ahead.
Laugh it up, woody.

- We'll laugh later.

Right now, we need
to reestablish contact

with the super-photon
generator.

- Where did
the control system go?

- Go ahead.
Push me.

- Oh, the button
is mocking me.

All: push us.
Push us, come on.

Push us.
Push us. Push us.

- Come on,
you know you want to.

- No, I don't!

gah!

- Okay,
let's just think.

If we're all seeing
the same bizarre things,

something must be overlaying
a holographic environment.

- Vincent's using
a holographic projector

on main street
for something--

It may have malfunctioned.

- It must be interacting
with the photon generator.

Let's check it out.

- My precious...

- One button
to rule them all.

- Fargo, focus.
- Gah!

- We have to fix this.

- So dizzy...

- So the generator had to be
on top of a mountain, did it?

[panting]

andy, use your gps.
Find a shortcut.

- I'm afraid my apps
have become rather...

Primitive.

Boing!

Oh. Oh, my.
- What--

- So embarrassing.
- Great.

Let's try this way.

- See, jenna?

You can have polar bears,
even bunnies.

- Bunnies?
Really?

That is boring, all right?

The game needs--it needs action,
maybe some bad guys to fight.

- Kevin, this is christmas,
not call of duty.

- Look, even christmas stories
have a grinch, all right?

Come on, it'll be fun.

Okay, you want to put
a bad guy in there?

Okay, look.

Now drag him over here.

Then over this way...

You know what?
He's gonna be fighting this guy.

Press it, press it.
Press it.

[beep]

- boss, you hear that?

[distant rustling]

- it's probably just carl.

Drove off the road, did ya?

Now who's lost and sorry?

[dramatic music]

oh!
- wow.

- Is that a snowman ninja?

[whooshing]

- kee-yah!

- I've eaten snow cones
tougher than you.

- Hiyah!

- Oh!

ow!

hey.

That was uncalled for.

- Back off, frosty.

[grunts]

ooh.

- [laughing]

- kee-yah!

- Whoo! Kee!

- Aieeeee!

oh.

- Kee-yah!

oh!

- Ninjas...

[shouting indistinctly]

[all grunting]

- uh-oh.

- Uh, boss?

[helicopter whirring overhead]

- jo?

- Get in!

- Pokey hands!

Pokey hands!

[all groaning]

- watch out!

[all groaning, grunting]

- mayday! Mayday!

Both: whoa!

- Oh, great.

Grab a leg.

Are you looking up my dress?

Both: no.

[birds chirping]

- [sighs]
nice save, princess.

That's a new look for you.
- Shut up.

- Jo, you're
even more beautiful now.

I'm just more robot.

- Okay,
what is happening to us?

I was flying the copter
from g.d.,

and suddenly--bam!--
I'm jo white.

If you crap on me,
I swear to god...

- Guys, we got to get
out of here

before another iceman cometh.

Generator's that way.

- And no singing!

[whooshing]

- you never turned on
the projector?

- Only for a second,

but that was before
everything changed.

- Then something else
is creating a false reality.

- Hup.

[grunting]

mmm.

sure doesn't taste
like an illusion.

- You think
we're actually animated?

- Vroom, vroom!

- Jack, stop!

[tires screech]

jack--

- Sorry, toots,
i'm driving solo.

- Okay.

Where's sheriff carter?

- It's always about him,
isn't it?

Well, I dumped him
and his tin-can sidekick.

- Listen, you're a smart car.

You know overexposure
to super-photons

can cause
permanent tissue damage.

- Well, yeah.
I totally knew that.

- I need your help.

Um...

- Carl.

- Okay, can you take me
to sheriff carter, carl?

Please?

- You said, "please."

No one's ever said
that to me before.

Come on.
Hop in.

Vroom, vroom!

Vroom, vroom!

- Can you get to the smart house
and check on the kids?

- Mm, will do.

Mmm, mmm.
I love me some cafe diem.

- Vroom, vroom!

[birds chirping]

- [grunting and sighing]
almost there.

- Can you pick up the pace,
your highness?

[birds chirping]

call 'em off, call 'em off!
Ooh, fall back!

- Show some respect,
or they'll peck your eyes out.

[sighs] damn, these
glass slippers are murder.

Whoa! Help!
- Jo!

- Miss lupo!

- Aah!

Oh, hey.

Thanks, guys.
[birds chirping]

- how you doing, andy?

- Um, I don't suppose
you have any lubricant handy,

do you, boss?

- Uh, fresh out.

- Oh, well, hopefully
I won't have issues

like this after santa
grants my christmas wish.

- Right.

What wish would that be?
- Well--

[distant rumbling]
oh, boy.

[harp music plays]

- hang on!

[all screaming]

- oh.

- What the--

- Hey.

- Ooh.

- We can't flip through
all these settings tonight.

Your mom's going to be here
any minute.

- Are you--we haven't even tried
the best one yet.

- Kevin.

- Hold on. Look.
Look at that.

There.

[beeps]
now it feels like christmas.

[hologram humming]

[wind blowing]

[all groaning]
- whew.

[shivering] well, at least we're
three-dimensional again.

- Yeah,

but I'm freezing
my nuts off...

pop!

And my bolts.
- [Shivering] my birds are gone.

- And we're made of clay.

- [Makes bird calls]

they're gonna freeze out there.
[inhales deeply]

- jo, don't...
- [Whistles loudly]

- whistle.

[rumbling]

ah, look out, jo!

- Ah! Andy!

- [Grunting]

my foot.

- Nice going, belle.

- Ooh! Uhh! Ow.

- Carter, do you,
uh, smell something?

- Kind of like wet fur.

- [Screams]
- ooohhh!

- [Growling]

- oh, crap.

- [Snarls]

[both scream]

- ah, ah.

- Ah.

[both screaming]

- [laughs]
oh, sorry, mates.

You startled me.

- Taggart?
- Taggart?

- Yeah, I guess
I look a little different

since you last saw me.

Got a bit more hair.

[chuckles]

aw, it's great to see you.

- Ah! Ugh!

[grunting]

- where are me manners?

Can I interest you
in some penguin tartare

or perhaps some
spicy penguin rolls?

- Taggart, you're a bear.

- I know.
Isn't it great?

I was up here
studying hunting patterns

and then, poof.

[growls]

- hmm,
you're okay with this.

- Well, I have always
been one with nature.

- [Gags]

- hmm?

- I'm good.

- You got
a little penguin just--

- Hmm?

- Over--
- There?

- Up.
- This side?

There?
- Yeah. You're good.

- Listen, we're sort of lost.
We're trying to get to--

To the, um,
great proton power thing.

- Ah, the super-photon
generator.

Ah, crikey. I should've figured
that one out.

[fly buzzes]

but polar bear me
gets easily distract--

[fly buzzes]

heh, heh.
guh.

- I'm gonna look for andy.

- Penguin?

- I'm good.

- This is ridiculous.
I look like a von trapp.

This is all my fault.

- No, making it snow
was carter's idea.

- I know, but anthropomorphic
control panel's right.

I like pushing buttons.

Everyone thinks I'm a joke.
That's why I look like this.

- You're not
that guy anymore.

- Then why am I a bobblehead?
There's got to be a reason.

- You can't ascribe
thematic significance

to such...

[cord zips]
ridiculous circumstances.

- Then why are you the only one
with a pull string?

- [Sighs]

[cord zips]
I don't know--

Maybe because it's an
iconic christmas toy design.

- Or maybe it's
to get you to take a breath,

stop being so quick
to overanalyze everything.

- Let me think about that.

nah.
- Just a theory.

- Mm-hmm.
- Whoa.

[record scratches]

[electronic trilling]

- I think we found
our signal thief.

- You think the smart house
is controlling the generator?

- I'm thinking maybe.

[electronic beeping]

- we have to get to the kids.

Buzz!
ow!

- S.a.r.a.h.'s force field
must be protecting it

from the photons.

- [Grunts]

hyuh!
[static]

we're going to need
a bigger snowball.

hmm.

- I'm sure they'll be back.

- I hope so.

Well, it's too cold
to fly south now.

- I meant carter and andy.

- Right. Oh, me too.
Uh...

- Jo, who were
you looking for?

- The stupid bluebirds, okay?

They were buzzing around me
when I was jo white,

and now they're just...
Gone.

- Aw, you Miss them.
[chuckles] it's sweet.

- It's embarrassing, okay?
They're not even real.

- So what?

I'm not a bear.
You're not a princess.

We still have feelings.
You got to loosen up a little.

- I'm totally loose.

- Oh, really?

What were you doing
when this happened?

- Working...

So my security team
could have the night off.

- So you could avoid
the holiday.

- No, I don't have family
in town, okay?

- Oh, we both know
that's not true.

Now, how many invitations
did you turn down?

- My brothers
are deployed overseas.

I-I guess I wasn't
in the mood to celebrate.

- Everyone knows
how tough you are, jo,

but it's okay
to be a princess...

Every once upon a time.

- Andy?

Andy, can you hear me?

- Honk, honk.

- Andy.

- [Muffled speech]

- you okay, buddy?

- He just needs
to thaw out a bit.

[andy grunts]

- listen, jeep,
I've--I've been thinking

about what you said.

- Don't bother.
I'm not here for you.

- You going to just
stand there or...?

- [Moans]

- mmm.

- Man,
am I glad to see you.

Wow, you're kind of hot
in clay.

- You're not
so bad yourself, ranger.

- It's the hat.

- Hello?

I'm dripping
antifreeze over here.

Can we get this show
on the road?

- Right.
Uh, we have to pick up jo

from taggart's cave.

- From taggart's what?
- Long story.

Listen, uh,
i'm sorry about all this.

I was just trying
to make christmas special.

- Wait.
You did this?

- W-we were making a
winter wonderland for the kids.

It was supposed
to be a surprise.

- Well, it worked.

[engine turning]

[both grunting]

- ready?

[cord zips]
- one...

Two...

- Uh-oh.

Three!
- Whoa!

- Fargo!

- [Screaming]

crash!

[static buzzing]

[garbled screaming]

i'm melting.

Oh, what a world,
what a world.

- Fargo, hang on.

- Okay, jenna,
pick a character.

[device beeps]

[hologram humming]

- santa.

[electronic beeping]

[sirens wailing]

- wow.

- I guess I don't have to ask
if we're there yet.

- Yeah, it's kind of...

- Beautiful.

[cranking]
wait.

Who is that?

- Santa?

- Santa?

- [Grunts]
sheriff...

I thought I might run into you.
- Dr. Drummer.

[dogs barking]

you have a dogsled?

- You don't?

- What are you doing here?

- Well, I was out
running a few errands

when the world went
all topsy-turvy.

Thought I'd give
the super-photon generator

a look-see.
- And?

- The controls are jammed up.

Some kind of power surge
scrambled the circuits.

- Did you try unplugging it?

- Jack,
super-photons generators

are powered
using collisions

of circulating
relativistic electrons.

They don't have a plug.
- Hmm?

- Right.

Australian polar bears,
talking jeeps...

- Ah, there's got to be a way
to regain control somehow.

- Sure, but we'd need
an external power source

to bypass the circuits.

Don't suppose you'd have
one of those lying around?

- What?

No, don't look at me
like that.

[whimpering] please don't look
at me like that.

Don't take my battery.
It's all I have.

Please.

- Relax.

- [Sighs]

- the battery
for jenna's present?

- That's it.

The holotown.

But how are
they powering it?

Oh, kevin.

Jack, they opened
jenna's present.

That's what's interacting
with the generator.

- So this is your fault?
Awesome.

- Come on, you really think
you can bribe me with cocoa?

- And whipped cream.

- Look, they're going
to be back any minute.

You and jenna
need to get to bed.

- What do you think
they're doing, anyway?

- Knowing my dad,
they're probably planning

some big surprise.
- [Laughs]

- but they should have been
home by now.

[beep]

- all right, we have
our external power source.

- But we still have to bypass
the circuits.

- Exactly.

- Sorry if we ruined
your christmas.

- No, added some excitement
is all.

[ice shattering]

[both grunting]

- you really love this time
of year, don't you?

- Maybe a little too much.

- I know what you mean.

Sometimes
I get so preoccupied

making sure
everything's perfect,

I forget the best part
of the holidays

is having the people we love
together in one place.

- I think
i'm guilty of that, too.

[rumbling]

[creature growling]

- what...is...that?

- [Grunts]

[roars]

- giant snow ninja.

- And it's heading
for eureka.

- [Roaring]

- how long will it take
to fix the generator?

- With allison's help,
not long.

- We'll get it done.

- Andy, give them a hand.

- Sure thing.
What are you going to do?

- Talk to the sninja.

- Don't suppose
you have a snowblower

or--ooh--
Rock salt in there?

- I just might.

Oops, my bad.
I wonder what this one does?

- Ugh!

Watch it!

- Sorry, boss.
Maybe this button.

- [Gasps]

- that'll work.

- Listen...

I know I don't say it enough,
but thank you, carl.

- [Sniffles]
- are you crying?

- No, I just got some snow
in my headlight, okay?

[engine turning]
get in.

Both: whoa!

[both screaming]

- hmm.

Hmm. Huh.

Whoa! Ugh!

[dog growls]

- uh, good doggies.
Nothing to see here--

Just a useless
hunk of metal.

- Hey, boys.
Check out pinocchio.

- [Laughs]
that's a good one, boss.

- Oh, you guys talk...

And make fun of robots--
That's great.

- We're not making fun.
You should be proud.

Being like everyone else--

It ain't what
it's cracked up to be.

Doc over there,

he can't even
tell us apart half the time.

We don't dance,
and we certainly don't prance,

do we, boys?

- Uh-uh.
- No prancing over here.

- No way.

- I don't know.

I wouldn't mind being
like everyone else sometimes--

Just, you know...

Normal.

- Are you kidding?

People spend
their entire lives

trying to stand out
from the pack.

They want to feel special.

You're lucky,
if you ask me.

- Hmm.

I guess I never
thought of it that way.

Thanks, um...

- Name's rudy.
- Rudy.

- Say, got any jerky on you?

- Uh, no, sorry.

- It's worth a try.

[laughs]
come on, boys!

- See you later, robot.

[dogs barking]

- good hunting.

hmm!

- I, uh, was worried
I lost you.

- Oh, please.

We've been through
crazier stuff than this.

Whew.

[explosion]
uh-oh. Now what?

oh.

- [Roars]

- okay, maybe not.

[cord zips]
- let's go!

[ornaments jingle]

[thumping continues]

- what is that?

- It's coming from outside.

- Stay here, jenna.

Go. Go.

[loud thud]

whoa.
You see what I see?

- Is that a snow ninja?

- It can't be.

- [Roars]

[loud thumping]

[roars]

- ninja.

- [Snarling]

- so the virtual world
that we created in here

must be affecting
the real world out there.

- How is that even possible?
It's a game.

It's not programmed
to do any of this.

- Not by itself,

unless it's messing
with some other kind of tech--

Both:
the super-photon generator.

- It's the only thing with
enough photovoltaic potential

to extend
the holographic projection

throughout entire town.

- That and your
super-charged battery.

- Mom's going to kill me.
[chuckles nervously]

so what do we do now?
- Turn it off.

- No, wait, wait.
But what happens to them?

You know what I mean?

What--what happens
to characters in a video game

when you shut it down?

- They shut down, too.

Holy crap.
We could erase the entire town.

Get your stupid ninja
out of there.

- I tried, okay?
I--i--

It won't let me delete it.
Look.

- Well, the battery's
probably making

the program unstable.

- Maybe we can give them
a fighting chance.

Since we can't take
elements out,

let's try putting others in.

Watch.

[electronic whirring]

[carl imitating engine revving]

- we have to cut that thing off
before it gets to main street.

- We're not going
to make it.

- Where's the confidence?

Vroom!
[tires screech]

- [roars]

- [panting]
ooh!

who put that thing here?

- [Roaring]

[both grunting]

- here, take that.
- [Growls]

- okay, we made him mad.
Now what?

- Run!
- [Roars]

- that was your plan?

- You said I shouldn't
overanalyze everything.

[screams]
- henry!

Hang on!

- [Laughing]
- [grunting]

yikes. Snowballs.

- [Laughs]

- whatever you're doing,
can you please just hurry up?

- Okay, almost there.
Just need to do one more thing.

[electronic zap]

- whoa.
We're changing again.

- Into what?

- Ass kickers.

- This is more like it.

- [Confused grunt]

- [martial arts shouts]

- [grunting angrily]

- [martial arts shouts]

- [howls]

- ah!

- [Roars]

- uh-oh.
It looks really mad now.

[speaking foreign language]
eureka.

- Are you kidding me?

- Ah!

Whoa!

Crap,
now what do we do?

[tires screech]

[engine revs]

- [growls]

[slow, dramatic drumming]

*

- let's do this.

- [Roars]

- yeah, let's do this.

[tires squealing]

[engine roars]

- get ready, jo.
I'm coming around again.

- Just get me close.

- Now, jo, now.

- [Grunts]

- [growls]

- bull's-eye.

- Yeah.

[tires screeching]

- huh?

- Checkmate!

- [Growls]

- yeah.

Uh-oh.

Battle well fought,
my son.

- Domo arigato.

- Sayonara, snijna.

- Yes!
- Anime--nice thinking, kev.

- But they're not
out the woods yet.

If they can't get
to the generator in time,

they may be stuck this way.

- I think we got it.
- Hope so.

You're not the only one
with christmas plans.

- Fingers crossed...

- Looks like you got your
white christmas after all, jack.

- Not exactly
what I had in mind.

- Okay, here we go.

- Is that supposed to happen?

- Oh!

- Oh, now what?

- The generator...

- Did allison and drummer
fix it?

- Those are definitely
super-photons.

- I swear, if I turn back
into charlie brown...

- I'd better still be
an ass kicker.

Oh, man.

- I'll get you a real one.

- We did it!

- It looks like everyone
is back to normal.

- We're here, boss!

[dogs barking]

- whoa, rudy.

- Rudy, I will never
forget you, buddy.

- [Laughs]
jack.

[sighs]
you okay?

- Yeah.
We're not a cartoon, so...

- Well, thanks to the kids.

- And--and--and--and--

- They're great.
- Okay.

- Hate to mush and run,

but I got a few errands
to finish before morning.

- Thank you.
Mwah.

[bells jingling]
- mush.

Merry christmas to everyone.

And to all a good night.

- I want that.

- Merry christmas!

- Everything and everyone
was back to normal

just in time
for christmas morning.

- It's almost perfect.

- Yep.
Almost.

- Knock knock.

- Hey!

- Merry christmas!

- Merry christmas!

- I got cookies!

- That's what
I was waiting for.

- Merry christmas.
- Merry christmas.

[indistinct chatter]

- I got dibs
on the seahawks.

- Ah, no, no, no, no,
i'm sorry.

Packers/bears, baby.
I'm sorry.

[laughs]

- * have a holly,
jolly christmas *

* and in case you didn't hear

* oh, by golly,
have a holly, jolly... *

- now it's perfect.

- And with everyone together,

it was a perfect
christmas in eureka.

Now, I know some
of you may wonder

if this animated tale is true.

You can believe it or not,

but you did hear it
from a talking house.

So I'd say anything
is possible.

- * holly, jolly,
holly jolly, oh *

* have a holly,
jolly christmas *

* and in case
you didn't hear *

* oh, by golly,
have a holly, jolly christmas *

* this year
