Superbook (2011–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - The First Christmas - full transcript



Hurry up, Giz!

We gotta get down
to the Mega Mall!

It's almost time for the Annual

Christmas Eve
Scramble up Prize Peak!

My word! If that Stonecypher
guy across the street

puts one more cartoon
cut-out on his lawn,

I just may have to break out

the inflatable
"Mistletoe Reindeer!"

Chris, I have your ice pitons

to help you climb Prize Peak!



Whoa...

That's one messed up reindeer.

What in the world
is going on, Crispin?

Oh, mom, we're headed off for

the Christmas Eve
Scramble up Prize Peak.

That is correct Mrs. Quantum.

Chris could win...

..A jaw dropping array of
valuable toys and prizes that

every child is dreaming
about this Christmas.

Ah, Chris. Before you go, can

you set up the Nativity?

But, I already put out

the Santa and the elves
and the snowmen...

not to mention three hundred
yards of Christmas lights...



And a partridge in a pear tree?

And, well, there isn't a

lot of room left...
anywhere, uh, for that.

Besides, it's no big deal.
The manger scene's

just another decoration.

See ya, mom!

Last one into the mall
is a frozen blizzard-burp

with-slush-on-top!

I, for one, certainly am
NOT a blizzard-burp...

Oh!

Keep that up,
Christopher Quantum,

and you'll be asking for
a new robot for Christmas.

Who-hoo...

Mom, look at all the cool stuff.

I want to get the guitar
for Toby... and...

oh... I wanna get

the blender for aunt Darcy,
and that skateboard for...

Jeffie! Jeffie, I don't
know... it's... I think it might

just have to be
a smaller Christmas this year.

Those things are very expensive.

I'm sorry, honey.

Heeeyyyy...

Who's the blizzard burp now?

Ohhh... amazing... incredible

Attention all you
Mega Mall Christmas Shoppers!

If Icicle The Snow man chooses
your lucky number...

you'll get a chance
to climb Prize Peak!

If you make it to the top

before the Candy Cane
Stopwatch strikes zero...

you'll win every one of the
fabulous Christmas gifts

inside the Golden
Christmas Cart.

Ahhh! Wow!

And the winning ticket is...

Two, three, four...

six, three!

AHHH! I won!!! Joy! Gizmo!

All those gifts are mine!
Ha-haaa!

Ahh... this is what Christmas
is all about!

SUPERBOOK!

Hey! My winning ticket!

Superbook, I can't go now!

I gotta climb Prize Peak!

Whoaaaa....

Merry Christ-ma-as!

I am taking you to witness

the most important gift
the world has ever received.

Whoa... aghhh...

Giz, where are we?

In the land of very hard floors.

Better try to blend in until
we know what's what.

Blend in with what?
The buffet table?

You! Servants!

Bring the dinner platters
in to King Herod!

Hurry!

You honor us with your
hospitality, King Herod.

And you honor me
with your presence.

Three wise men traveling
over such a great distance?

Remarkable.

What do you seek here
in Jerusalem?

Where is He who has been
born King of the Jews?

For we have seen
His star in the East.

And have come to worship Him!

Perhaps my priests
can assist you.

Yes. ah...
There is a prophecy.

A ruler arising...

in Bethlehem.

Bethlehem is a town

approximately ten kilometers
southwest of here.

Bethlehem?

How... interesting.

My friends, you are certain

to be weary from your journey.

Ah, but once you have rested and

have enjoyed a savory meal

go search for the young child.

And when you've found Him,

bring back word to me,

that I may also come
and worship him.

A 'King of the Jews'?

Never!

If they don't find this infant,

I'll have my men search for him.

Even if it means rounding up
every boy child

born within the last two years.

No infant born in my realm shall
grow up to challenge my reign!

What are we going to do?

What can we do, Joy?

It looks like Superbook
has an idea of his own.

Whoaaa....

Whoaaa...

Where are we now, Giz?

Over this way...
Over by those trees,

under these trees

we can find shelter

Excuse me.

Could you please assist us?

My wife is with child.

We must find shelter
from this storm.

My geo-sensors indicate
there is a small cave

just beyond that rock formation.

I shall lead the way.

I'm Joy. This is Chris.

And our fearless leader
up ahead is Gizmo.

SNAAAAAAAAKE!

No. Stick. Just a stick.

False alarm. Press on.

Gizmo is a curious one.

Where are all these
people traveling?

Did you not hear?

All have been called to return
to the places of their birth.

Caesar Augustus,
the leader of Rome,

has decreed that all the world
should be registered.

What do you mean,
'registered?'

He has called for a "census"

so that they know
who everyone is

and where their
families come from.

Oh...

Do you think.. I don't know...

that they could be the ones
who are having the baby

King Herod was talking about?!

Mary... Joseph...
and the baby, Jesus.

Oh... The real ones...

the ones, you know,
from the nativity scene

my mom wanted me
to set up back home.

I can't believe it's them.

Chris, do you think they have

any idea people will
remember them

more than 2000 years from now?

We should reach
Bethlehem tomorrow.

That would be most advisable.

My medi-scan indicates Mary is

almost ready to have her baby.

Eee... Put away
your toy, Gizmo.

So, Mary, you must have been

pretty excited when you
found out you were...

well... you
know... gonna be a mom?

The most joyous
news I could have ever imagined

was first told to me
by an angel.

An ANGEL?

I was at my parents' home.

And there came a light, brighter
than any I had ever seen.

Brighter than the sun...

Do not be afraid, Mary,

for you have found
favor with God.

And behold, you will conceive in
your womb and bring forth a Son,

and shall call His name Jesus.

He will be great, and will be
called the Son of the Highest;

and the Lord God will give Him
the throne of His father David.

And He will reign over
the house of Jacob forever,

and of His kingdom
there will be no end.

How can this happen,
for I am a virgin?

The Holy Spirit
will come upon you,

and the power of the
Highest will overshadow you;

Therefore, also, that
Holy One who is to be born

will be called the Son of God.

That's something
you don't hear every day.

At first, I was... upset to
learn Mary was pregnant,

because we were not yet married.

But an Angel came to me
in a dream and reassured me.

I knew then, for certain,
that God wanted us

to be husband and wife!

Um... Would you
excuse us for a minute?

Joy, it's definitely them!

And they're gonna be toast
if Herod's men find us!

How is King Herod going to
track down one little baby

in a country this big?

What, do I have to do all the
thinking around here, Joy?

It's the census!

His soldiers will
know who everyone is,

who's having babies...

or had a baby
in the last two years!

Mary and Joseph will be on that
list... along with the baby!

Oh no! They already
know we're here!

Gizmo! Initiate a
trans-structural thermal scan

and find out how many more
are behind that hill!

Data indicates there are
hundreds...

HUNDREDS!!!?? See Joy!

HUNDREDS!

Yes, Chris. Hundreds...
of SHEEP behind that hill.

And those are shepherds
up top as well.

Shepherds.
Most dangerous men alive.

Now will you
give it a rest, Chris?

Hey, they could've been
soldiers! We gotta be ready.

Superbook said we were going
to witness the greatest gift

the world has ever received

and he was talking
about her baby.

If you do not have
family in Bethlehem,

move along. There's
no place to stay here.

Joseph, aren't you worried...

You know, about Mary and the
baby, with all that's going on?

God has a plan, Chris.

Move along. I told
you there's no place to stay.

Maybe so.

Move along.

But it's Herod's plan
that still worries me.

I beg your pardon?

Uh... Sorry, nothing.

Joseph? What if you're wrong?

I mean, what if God
doesn't come through?

Do not go away!
Superbook is coming right back!

Chris, you heard, He told Mary

His son would reign over the
house of Jacob forever.

And of His kingdom
there will be no end.

They're not going
to listen to us,

what's the point of even trying?

Chris?! Would you stop
being so paranoid

and just think for a minute?

Think?? About what?

About how incredible this is!

You want to talk about a gift?

Look at us! Superbook is
giving us front row seats

for the very
First Christmas ever!

This is what started
the whole celebration.

Plleeease! You call
this a Christmas?

Yes! Where are the parties?

Where's the Christmas tree

and all the decorations?

Yes. And where is
Santa Claus?

Old Stonecypher
across the street,

he has more Christmas spirit
with all those decorations

on his front lawn than anything
I'm feeling around here.

Guys, I think you're missing
the point.

But... I love Santa.

Yeah!!! And Rudolph.

Yes. What has put her
Christmas all in a crunch?

Exactly.

Uh-oh... here comes trouble!

Is this your wife?

Uh, no problem here,
we're fine! All fine.

When is she due
to have the child?

Soon.

Try the last tent down the
road. I hear they have room.

Perhaps you can stay the night.

Thank you.

See! Now the Romans
know where she is!

Chris, for the last time,

God is not going to let
anything bad happen

at the birth of His son.

How many times
do I have to say it?

My room is taken.

I shall inform Mary.

Oh you!! How can you
send them away?

They're going to have a
baby! TONIGHT!

Please... I-I do not mean
to be harsh.

But, with all the travelers
there's nowhere left to stay.

- All I have is a
stable out back for oxen.

A STABLE???

By that cliff. You and your
family can stay there.

You want the Savior of the
world to be born in a STABLE?

History's in the makin', mister.

You got a chance to really
step up here, but instead,

It has walls and a roof.
Do you want it or not?

Do you know who Mary
and Joseph are?

That baby they're
going to have is...

WHAT AM I SPEAKING
A FOREIGN LANGUAGE?

We'll take it!

This is where the Son of God
is going to be born?

Joy! Chris!

Oh, The baby...

He's coming! Oh...

There are blankets
on the back of the donkey.

We'll need some clean water.

Chris, where are you going?

I don't know! I'm looking for
a stream, a lake, anything.

I just don't want to go
back to town

near that well
with the soldiers!

What is the matter, Chris?

Isn't this bothering
anyone else but me?

What? Trying to find water
for Mary and Joseph?

No! I mean all of this!
I want to help.

I want to believe, but,

if Mary's really giving
birth to the Son of God,

why isn't God helping us
even a little bit, Joy?

Ohhh! Oh, what?

Do not be afraid, for behold,

I bring good tidings
of great joy.

For there is born
to you this day

in the city of David,

a Savior, who is
Christ the Lord.

And this will be
the sign to you:

You will find a Babe
wrapped in swaddling cloths,

lying in a manger.

Joseph was right.
God's plan did come to be...

Not in the way
anyone expected...

But just the way God
meant for it to happen!

Not that we love God,
but that He loved us

and sent his Son for all people.

Again, our winning number...

is two, three, four, six, three.

Well, are you going
to try to climb Prize Peak?

You know what?

Every Christmas
since I can remember,

I wanted to win a
chance to do this.

To me this was the ultimate:

what Christmas was all about.

But it's not.

Merry Christmas.

One more time,
that's two, three,

four, six, three.

Anybody?

Me! Me! I have it!

I'm climbing Prize Peak!
Who-hooo!

Oh honey, that's wonderful!

You came back from the mall
pretty quickly, Chris.

Forget something?

No, more like... remembered
something, mom.
