BUDDY PAGE ONE FRESH OUT OF TOYS SANTA MAKES HIS WAY BACK

WHEN HE HEARS A SMALL NOISE FROM INSIDE OF HIS PACK

GREENWAY AND?

WALTER AND?

BUDDY AND?

DEB, CHADWICK & MATTHEWS AND?

MICHAEL COME ON, BUDDY, WHAT COMES NEXT?!

GREENWAY A baby inside Santa's bag? It's not a bad start.

WALTER He's buying it! Keep going!

BUDDY PAGE TWO BACK FROM HIS RIDE SANTA GATHERS HIS ELVES

MICHAEL HE GAHTERS HIS ELVES
