Act 1: Scene 3 Flashcards
SANTA: Buddy…
Santa? Is it true what they said? Am I human?
SANTA: {snip} The elves took him in, raised him as one of their own.
Really? Where is he? Is it Charlie?
SANTA: Buddy, it’s you! It’s your story!
I’m not an elf; I’m a human. And I’m an orphan. (gasp) Just like Annie!
SANTA: And he works…
…right there, in the Empire State Building.
In there? He must be teeny-tiny!
SANTA: Keep it. It’s a gift from me
Thank you, Santa.
SANTA: Alright, break it up. Nothing to see here. Back to work.
What’s my dad like?
SANTA: Oh. Well, he’s a very successful man. An executive. He publishes children’s books.
Oh!
SANTA: But I should tell you, he, uh…. well, he’s on the naughty list.
Nooooooooooooo! What did he do? Did he wet the bed?
SANTA: No he didn’t wet the- look, he just doesn’t believe in me anymore.
Doesn’t believe in you? Is he insane?
SANTA: No, like a lot of human beings these days, he’s just lost the Christmas spirit.
But Christmas Spirit is what makes your sleigh fly!
SANTA: {snip} a big hairy bird and it’s time that you left the nest.
But I don’t want to go to New York. I’m scared.
SANTA: {snip} but there’s one thing you should know. And it’s very important.
What?
SANTA: There are like seven Ray’s pizzas and they all say they are the original, but the real one’s on Sixth avenue and Eleventh street.
Okay. Which direction is New York?
SANTA: {snip} Just head south until you find yourself in a bug, smelly, industrial wasteland.
And that’s New York?
SANTA: Bye Buddy. Take care.
Bye Santa. Oh, hey, what’s my Dad’s name?
