Written by Jason Donner

               EXT. THE NORTH POLE

               There, out in the middle of the frozen wasteland atop the
               Earth, is Santa's workshop.  A penguin waddles by and is
               immediately eaten by a Polar Bear... He is, in turn, eaten by
               a Killer Whale breaking through the ice.

               INT. SANTA'S WORKSHOP

               SANTA CLAUS is walking along inspecting the toys that his
               elves are creating as the elves sing to themselves.

                                   ELVES
                             (singing)
                         Here comes Santa Claus, here comes
                         Santa Claus right down Santa Claus
                         lane...

                                   SANTA
                         Ho, ho, ho!  Well done!  These
                         Nintendo Gamecubes will insure that
                         there never will be another video
                         game system shortage ever!

               Suddenly, a bomb crashes through the window and lands in the
               bin of Gamecubes.  The HEAD ELF yells from a catwalk.

                                   HEAD ELF
                         BOMB!  BOMB!

               The elves begin to run.

                                   ELVES
                             (singing frantically)
                         There goes my bladder, there goes
                         my bladder, running down my leg!

                                   HEAD ELF
                         No, you IDIOTS!  Don't run like
                         cowards!  SAVE THE GAMECUBES!!!

               The elves run back to the bins and, as soon as they get the
               hands on the Gamecubes, the bomb explodes.

               EXT. SANTA'S WORKSHOP

               A large portion of the workshop goes up in a great fireball.

               INT. SANTA'S WORKSHOP

               Santa and the Head Elf come out of an emergency bunker.  Elf
               parts are everywhere.

                                   HEAD ELF
                         DAMN!

                                   SANTA
                         My goodness!  What a tragedy

                                   HEAD ELF
                         Yeah, those slackers didn't save a
                         single Gamecube!  Well, Santa, it
                         looks like a deranged no-good
                         bastard is out to whack you, again.

                                   SANTA
                         Indeed.  Every few years a bad
                         little boy or girl looses it and
                         tries to take out Santa, but I
                         wonder who it could be this time?

               INT. HELL

               SATAN is sitting on his throne when SCRAPPY DOO comes in.

                                   SATAN
                         Is it done?

                                   SCRAPPY
                         Uh, no... Santa lived.  However, we
                         did manage to SPLAT his workshop!

                                   SATAN
                         You FOOL!  Santa has workshops in
                         Tokyo, Singapore, Bangkok, London,
                         and Los Angeles!  We can't destroy
                         all of them before...
                             (silently, points upwards)
                         ...you-know-who...
                             (normally)
                         ...becomes involved!  Santa might
                         be annoying, bastardly, and fat,
                         but is IS a saint and...
                             (silently, points upwards)
                         ...you-know-who...
                             (normally)
                         ...takes care of his saints.

                                   SCRAPPY
                         Well, then, why don't we just hire
                         the job done?

                                   SATAN
                         Hire?  By whom?

                                   SCRAPPY
                         Oh, I have connections, Master.

               EXT. THE NORTH POLE - NIGHT

               A long black car drives by with bright headlight illuminating
               the frozen land.   The car stops and the camera zeros in on
               the ground under the door.  What looks like a giant snowball
               falls on the ground and begins to move across the snow and
               ice.  The camera pulls back to reveal that we're looking at a
               living snowman.  FROSTY THE SNOWMAN, to be exact, with his
               hench-snowmen, ICY THE SNOWMAN, BLIZZARD THE SNOWMAN,
               FROSTBITE THE SNOWMAN, and female, HYPOTHERMIA THE SNOWWOMAN. 
               In the darkness, there is suddenly a red and orange glow as a
               wall of hellfire appears.  The snowmen step back a little
               from the heat as SATAN and SCRAPPY appear.

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         You must be Satan.

                                   SATAN
                         It was the hellfire, wasn't it? 
                         That's always a dead giveaway!

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         Yous the one who wants us to whack
                         Santa.  Easily done, but I must ask
                         yous why yous want the jolly fat
                         man to sleep wit' da fishes?

                                   SATAN
                         Every year, Santa delivers me a
                         chunk of coal...

                                   HYPOTHERMIA THE SNOWWOMAN
                         Well, yous ARE Satan.

                                   SATAN
                         Two years ago, I tried to destroy
                         him but was thwarted.  In the years
                         since then, he's stopped giving me
                         coal.

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         Wells, dat would be a good 'ting,
                         right?

                                   SATAN
                         He just started defecating down my
                         chimney.

                                   SNOWMEN
                         Yeeeeech!

                                   SCRAPPY
                         Sure, in Hell it's a little hard to
                         notice things like that, what with
                         all the poop that's already down
                         there, but we were roasting
                         chestnuts over the fire at the
                         time...

                                   SATAN
                         No, Scrappy, those were Timothy
                         McVeigh's nuts.

                                   SCRAPPY
                         So THAT'S why they weren't crunchy!

                                   SATAN
                             (to snowmen)
                         You know the price I've put on
                         Santa's head and you know I can
                         deliver it.  Do not question me, or
                         I will revoke it.

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         Hey, we's not that crazy, Mister
                         Satan... We'll do whatcha's want.

                                   SATAN
                         Good, now deliver the head of Kris
                         Kringle to me before midnight of
                         Christmas Eve or you will feel the
                         heat... If you catch my drift.

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         We's gotcha boss.

               Satan and Scrappy disappear in a wave of hellfire.

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         What a dick.

               Satan and Scrappy reappear.

                                   SATAN
                         WHAT!?

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         Nothing.

               Satan and Scrappy disappear.

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         C'mon, boys... We's got us a fat
                         boy to put on ice.

               MUSIC STING

                                                       FADE OUT:


Theme Song (Sung to the theme of "You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch")

You're a mean one. Mister Satan.
You really entruely suck.
You're heart is like a rock and your breath is like the pox,
Mister Satan.

If I was to choose three words to describe you, they would be, and I quote...
Stink, Stank, Stunk!

You're a bastard, Mister Satan.
You smell just like a dump.
You take happiness in miserery and poke sinners in the rump,
Mister Satan.

Merry Christmas, you old evil decrepid f*cker. I hope you get... a case of public liiiiiice!

OLE!

               INT. UPDA CREEK LOBBY

               ARTURO is hanging many different kinds of holiday decorations
               as Bippo, Thad, and Liam follow him.

                                   ARTURO
                         Quite a difficult holiday, this
                         Christmas has become.

                                   LIAM
                         How so, professor?

                                   ARTURO
                         Well, you three and myself
                         celebrate the Christian holiday of
                         Christmas while Gary, for example,
                         celebrates Chanukah and the birth
                         of Nichelle Nichols, Chocolate
                         Treat celebrates Kwanza, and others
                         prefer to celebrate the Winter
                         Solace.

                                   BIPPO
                         Bah!  Kwanza!  Chanukah!  What have
                         they got over good old Christmas?

               Gary walks by.

                                   GARY
                         Well, for one thing, we get gifts
                         every night for eight nights.

               Gary exits.

                                   BIPPO
                         ...and what do I have to do to
                         celebrate Chanuka?

                                   ARTURO
                         You have to be Jewish.

                                   BIPPO
                         I'm there!  Mazeltov!
                             (singing)
                         Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel! 
                         I made you out of clay!
                             (a beat)
                         Hey, you guys better get to the
                         mall and get me my Chanukah
                         presents!

                                   THAD
                         Oh, come on!  This Jewish thing
                         your going through is just a phase! 
                         Like the time you became a
                         Scientologist, but they kicked you
                         out of when they realized you
                         didn't have any money!

                                   BIPPO
                             (chuckles)
                         I still have Travolta's wallet. 
                         Nevertheless, you WILL buy me my
                         Chanukah presents or you will
                         suffer the wrath of the Jewish
                         Gods!

               A beat.

                                   LIAM
                         Bippo, there's only one Jewish God.

                                   BIPPO
                         Really?  Then buy me presents or
                         you will suffer the wrath of my
                         JEWISH CHAINSAW!!!

                                                       CUT TO:

               INT. A MALL

               Arturo, Liam, and Thad are waiting in a checkout line with
               bags full of presents for Bippo.

                                   ARTURO
                         I can't believe we've been
                         terrorized into buying gifts for
                         Bippo on a holiday he doesn't even
                         celebrate!

                                   THAD
                         Bippo and his damn phases.  It's
                         childish!

                                   LIAM
                         This from the man who went through
                         a bisexual phase?

                                   THAD
                         COME ON!  That was all of five
                         minutes!

                                   ARTURO
                         The next thing you know, Bippo will
                         be demanding Kwanza presents!

                                   THAD
                         I mean, who hasn't looked at Ricky
                         Martin shake his bon bon and not
                         been a little tempted?

                                   LIAM
                         Professor, we've just got to put
                         our foot down, professor.

                                   THAD
                         That tight perky little bon bon.

                                   ARTURO
                         Sure, Liam.  We put down our foot
                         and he lops it off with his pet
                         chainsaw and shoves it up our
                         asses.

                                   THAD
                         Guys, can we find a newsstand?  I
                         need a Playboy stat!

                                   LIAM
                         Don't worry.  As soon as Bippo
                         learns about circumcision, he'll
                         drop it like a Streisand album.

               There is a tug on Liam's pants leg.  Liam looks down and sees
               THE HEAD ELF.

                                   HEAD ELF
                         Hey, bub.  You're Liam Smith,
                         right?

                                   LIAM
                         That's right, little boy!  And what
                         do YOU want for Christmas?

                                   HEAD ELF
                         I'm not a little boy, dipstick. 
                         I'm the head of Santacorp.

                                   LIAM
                         Would you like a wolly-pop?

                                   HEAD ELF
                         Would you like a sock in the jaw? 
                         The big guy sent me.

               Liam and Thad look at the professor.

                         Oh, hey!  Yeah, how is Santa
                         anyway?

                                   ARTURO
                         Liam!  What are you talking about?

                                   LIAM
                         A couple of years back, I saved
                         Santa from the ATF.

                                   HEAD ELF
                         Yeah, and now it looks like someone
                         looking to put Santa's nuts in a
                         vice again.  Santa's always been
                         impressed by your innocence and
                         naivety.

                                   ARTURO
                         You mean what we in the real world
                         call "stupidity"?

                                   HEAD ELF
                         We don't have a lot of time.  Santa
                         and all of Christmas need your
                         help.  Will you save us again?

                                   LIAM
                         I don't know.  What in it for me?

                                   HEAD ELF
                         A Nintendo Gamecube?

                                   THAD
                         Make it three Gamecubes and a
                         Playboy and we're in.

                                   ARTURO
                         We?

                                   HEAD ELF
                         Done.

                                   ARTURO
                         But...

                                   HEAD ELF
                         Come on!  And bring that wolly-pop
                         you promised!

               The elf drags them out into the parking lot.

               EXT. THE PARKING LOT

               Santa's sleigh and eight reindeer are blocking traffic. 
               Several frustrated shoppers angrily blow their horns in anger
               as RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER gives them the finger.

                                   RUDOLPH
                             (shouting)
                         Oh, why don't you bite me where I
                         don't lick?  One word from me and
                         you'll be getting a flaming bag of
                         dog crap for Christmas!  Me and
                         S.C., we're like this!

               Rudolph crosses his hooves.

                                   LIAM
                         Hey, Rudy.

                                   RUDOLPH
                         Liam, son!  How are you!  Can you
                         believe this sh(BLEEP!)t's going
                         down on the pole again?

                                   LIAM
                         It's whack, yo.

               They do a complicated handshake.

                                   ARTURO
                         I'm in hell.

               EXT. THE NORTH POLE

               The sleigh flies towards Santa's workshop and lands on the
               roof.

               EXT. SANTA'S WORKSHOP'S ROOF

               Arturo angrily gets out of the sleigh.

                                   ARTURO
                         Do you have any IDEA what the wind
                         chill factor was in that blasted
                         sleigh?  My FACE is FROZEN!
                             (a beat)
                         What are we doing on the roof?

                                   RUDOLPH
                         Sorry, it's a habit.  Get back in
                         and we'll land in the hangar.

               Arturo takes a step and then crashes through the roof.

               INT. SANTA'S BEDROOM

               Arturo falls through the ceiling and lands in the bed.

                                   ARTURO
                         That wasn't so bad.

               Arturo rolls over and finds himself atop MRS. CLAUS.

                                   ARTURO
                         GAH!  I mean, hello.  I'm sorry but
                         I seem to have made a wring turn.

               Arturo tries to get up, but Mrs. Claus wraps her legs around
               him.

                                   ARTURO
                         Madame, kindly let me go.

                                   MRS. CLAUS
                         Or what, my English knight?

                                   ARTURO
                         English what?  Let go of me, you
                         harlot!

               SANTA busts in with LIAM and THAD.

                                   SANTA
                         Mrs. Claus!  Let him go this
                         instant!

                                   MRS. CLAUS
                         Oh, poo.

               Mrs. Clause releases him.  Arturo scurries away.

                                   SANTA
                         Sorry about that, professor.  I'm
                         Santa Claus.

                                   ARTURO
                         As my comrades would no doubt say,
                         'well, duh!'

                                   SANTA
                         I'd like to thank you all for
                         coming on such short notice.

                                   LIAM
                         For you, Santa?  It was nothing. 
                         Now, what's going on?

                                   SANTA

               INT. SANTA'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

               Santa is sleeping.  He rolls over on one side and puts his
               arm over a lump in the sheets.

                                   SANTA
                             (playfully)

                         visit from my yule log?

               There is silence.  Santa sit up.

                         Mrs. Claus?

               Silence.  Santa yanks the sheets away revealing a severed
               reindeer head.

                                   SANTA

                         It was a message from the North

                         Frosty thought that the song
                         sounded gay, so he softened the

                                   LIAM
                         Okay, I think have a plan.  Bippo
                         loves flamethrowers.  Can I use
                         your phone?

                                   SANTA
                         I'll have the head elf bring it.

               Santa walks over and hits an intercom button.  There is no
               answer.

                                   SANTA
                         Bloody hell.  Probably diddling
                         Mrs. Claus again.

               Santa and the others exit.

               INT. THE HEAD ELF'S OFFICE

               The office is empty as Santa and the others enter.

                                   SANTA
                         Where could he be?

               Thad walks over to the desk and picks up a dead fish.

                                   THAD
                         What's this?

                                   SANTA
                         My GOD!  It's a message!

                                   LIAM
                         Looks like a Salmon to me.

                                   SANTA
                         It means that the Head Elf sleeps
                         with the fishes.

                                   LIAM
                         I hope he's wearing protection. 
                         Those fish don't know where he's
                         been.

                                   THAD
                             (holds up fish)
                         Well, no point in wasting this. 
                         I'll go fire up the grill.

               Thad exits.

                                   SANTA
                         This is terrible!  What am I going
                         to do?  The Snow-Mafia won't rest
                         until I've been killed!  I don't
                         know when they'll strike or where
                         they'll strike from!

               Liam puts his hand on Santa's shoulder.

                                   LIAM
                         There, there, there...

                                   SANTA
                         I know you're trying to help.

                                   LIAM
                         No, I mean... T-There-there-there
                         they are!

               Santa and Arturo look up and see the Hypothermia, Icy,
               Blizzard, Frostbite, and Frosty the Snowman all with their
               weapons drawn.

                                   ARTURO
                         GAH!

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         Freeze, ya mugs or we'll ice ya!

                                   SANTA
                         What do you want from me, Frosty?

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         I'm just doing a job, old man. 
                         S'nothing personal.

               Liam busts out laughing.

                                   LIAM
                         Oh, I get it!  Freeze or we'll ice
                         you!  HA!  That's pretty funny!

                                   ARTURO
                             (ignoring Liam)
                         Who put you up to this?

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         Let's just say that it was the
                         OTHER man in the red suit.

               A beat.

                                   LIAM
                         I'm going to need a little more of
                         a hint than that.

                                   ARTURO
                         He means Satan, you ignoramus!

                                   LIAM
                         What?  Satan hired you to kill
                         Santa?  I'm sure that's a surprise
                         to... Snow-one!

               A beat.

                                   LIAM
                         Get it?  "Snow-one"?  Get it?  Huh?
                         Huh?

                                   EVERYONE
                         WE GET IT!

                                   SANTA
                         What could Satan possibly offer you
                         that I, Santa, couldn't?

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         Simple, fat boy.  Satan promised to
                         erupt Krakatoa and put so much ash
                         into the atmosphere that winter
                         wouldn't end for a year!

                                   ARTURO
                         Like the year without summer in
                         1814?

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         Oh, I liked it very much!  Almost
                         as much as I'm going to like the
                         second year without summer in 2002! 
                         Got any last words, fat boy?

                                   SANTA
                         I regret I have only one life to
                         give... Because if I had more, I
                         wouldn't be dead in five minutes.

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         Sweet.  Now, kindly die!

               Suddenly, Thad enters holding a smoking grill.

                                   THAD
                         Fish is ready!  OOPS!

               Thad trips sending the red hot coals over ICY THE SNOWMAN and
               BLIZZARD THE SNOWMAN melting them.

                                   BLIZZARD THE SNOWMAN
                         ARRRRRRRRGH!!!

                                   ICY THE SNOWMAN
                         GAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

               They die.

                                   THAD
                         Did I do a bad thing?  Oh, hey! 
                         Look at the snowmen!  Who made
                         them?

               Frosty, Hypothermia, and Frostbite begin shooting up the room
               as Liam, Thad, Arturo, and Santa run for it.  Icicles from
               the snowmen's guns imbed themselves in the wall.

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         Move, yous mugs!  I'm gonna enjoy
                         putting these losers on ice!

               INT. SANTA'S WORKSHOP

               The dark abandoned workshop is still showing signs of the
               explosion as the snowmen enter. 

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         Hypothermia, yous cover the exits
                         and Frostbite, yous make sure theys
                         don't back track.

               They split up.

               INT. SANTA'S WORKSHOP

               Frostbite the Snowman makes his way through the workshop
               among the scattered toys and stuff.  Suddenly, Thad/Werewolf
               jumps from a catwalk and lands right in front of him.

                                   FROSTBITE THE SNOWMAN
                         What the hells yous supposed to be?

                                   THAD/WEREWOLF
                         I'm a werewolf.

                                   FROSTBITE THE SNOWMAN
                         A werewolf?  Ain't no such thing!

                                   THAD/WEREWOLF
                         This from the walking pile of snow
                         with a tommy gun?

                                   FROSTBITE THE SNOWMAN
                         Don't matter if yous is a werewolf,
                         buddy.  Ain't nothing you can do to
                         hurt me.  I got the gun and yous
                         got nothing!

               Thad/Werewolf kicks him in the groin.  The snowman goes down
               moaning and coughing.

                                   THAD/WEREWOLF
                         Huh.  What do you know!  Snowballs!

               Rimshot.

               INT. SANTA'S WORKSHOP

               Hypothermia the Snowwoman is stalking the workshop when
               suddenly, her gun is kicked out of her hand.  It's Arturo. 
               Hypothermia smirks.

                                   HYPOTHERMIA THE SNOWWOMAN
                         You think I need a gun to kill you? 
                         I've got thousands of dangerous
                         toys at my disposal!

               Hypothermia grabs a Barbie Doll and yanks off a leg, using it
               as a knife.  She lunges at the professor burying the Barbie
               leg in a solid concrete wall.

                                   ARTURO
                         SONUVA!!!

               Hypothermia then picks up several Furbies and throws them
               like throwing stars, each one embedding themselves in the
               wall behind Arturo who just barley manages to get away. 
               Finally, Hypothermia uses a Slinky as a boa and tangles up
               Arturo's legs, cutting off his escape.

                                   HYPOTHERMIA THE SNOWWOMAN
                         I'm a trained killer, pops.  Yous
                         didn't stand a chance!

                                   ARTURO
                         That's what YOU think!

               Arturo has managed to grab an Easy Bake Oven.  He breaks off
               the front cover turning the toy into a flame thrower.

                                   HYPOTHERMIA THE SNOWWOMAN
                         ARRRRRRRRGH!!!

               Hypothermia melts into a puddle.

                                   ARTURO
                         A pity.  For a snowwoman, she was
                         rather hot.

               A beat.

                                   ARTURO
                         That was terrible!  Why did I say
                         that?

               Thad steps up next to him.

                                   THAD
                         The one liners just pop up out of
                         nowhere.  Don't blame yourself.

                                   ARTURO
                         I mean, making fun of the death of
                         another being was...
                             (a beat)
                         Cold.

                                   THAD
                         Good one.

                                   ARTURO
                         Maybe I should have just told her
                         to 'freeze'?

                                   THAD
                         Perhaps.

                                   ARTURO
                         Maybe, I...

                                   THAD
                         Okay.  Stop.

                                   ARTURO
                         Where's Liam and Santa?

                                   THAD
                         I don't know, but I'm sure they're
                         all right.

               INT. THE HEAD ELF'S OFFICE

               Liam and Santa are tied to chairs with blindfolds on.  Frosty
               is behind them about to execute them.

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         I'd ask if yous have any last
                         words, but then you'd probably say
                         something that would probably save
                         yous from death or some such
                         garbage.

                                   LIAM
                         You wouldn't shoot a man in the
                         back, would you?

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         Naw, I guess I'd better shoot you
                         in the stomach.  It's much more
                         painful.

                                   LIAM
                         Me and my big mouth.

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         I think I'll shoot the big fat guy
                         first.

               Frosty prepares to fire when all of the sudden, in a wave of
               hellfire, SATAN and SCRAPPY appear.  Frosty backs away from
               the flames.

                                   SATAN
                         Ah, Frosty... I hope you don't mind
                         if we come up and watch the... 
                             (he sees Liam)
                         HOLY HELL, what are YOU doing here?

                                   LIAM
                             (shrugs)
                         Eh, you know me.

                                   SATAN
                             (laughs)
                         I've been wanting to see you
                         destroyed even more than this
                         wretched goody-two-shoes!  Oh, what
                         a merry Christmas I'm going to have
                         this year.  Two of my most hated
                         enemies gunned down in front of my
                         eyes.

                                   SANTA
                         Satan!  I should have known you
                         were behind this!

                                   SATAN
                         Yeah, yeah, yeah.. woulda, coulda,
                         shoulda.  Let's not live in the
                         past, fat boy. Let's think of a
                         future where children all over the
                         world awaken to find maggots in
                         their stockings and razor blades in
                         their Christmas turkey!  A world of
                         exploding dreidels and poisoned
                         Kwanza gifts!  That's right,
                         Santa... Tonight, Satan Claus makes
                         this a Christmas to live in infamy. 

               Scrappy begins applauding feverishly.

                                   SCRAPPY
                         Bravo!  Bravo!

                                   SATAN
                         Stop being a yes man!

                                   SCRAPPY
                         Yes sir.  You're absolutely right,
                         I was being a yes man.

               Frosty is against the wall.

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         Yo, devil boy! Yous mind turning
                         down the heat a little?

                                   SATAN
                         Of course.

               With a wave of his hand, Satan commands the hellfire away.

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         Good.  I was beginning to
                         understand wheres the term 'a
                         snowball's chance in hell' came
                         from.

                                   SATAN
                         Enough of this!  Kill them
                         immediately.

               Scrappy jumps up on Liam's stomach and stares him in the
               face.

                                   SCRAPPY
                         Any last words, chuckle nuts?

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         I wouldn't do that is I was yous.

                                   SATAN
                         SILENCE!

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         I'm just saying...

                                   SATAN
                         NOW!

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                         Fine.

                                   SATAN
                         Scappy, honey, you were saying?

                                   SCRAPPY
                             (to Liam)
                         Any last words?

                                   LIAM
                         A few, actually.  Rudolph with your
                         nose so bright, won't you destroy
                         this snowman tonight?

                                   SCRAPPY
                         I don't get it.

                                   SANTA
                         You will.

               Suddenly, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer crashes through a
               window.  He faces Frosty the Snowman and a bright beam of
               energy leaps from his red nose and strikes Frosty. 
               Frosty screams and runs to Satan who catches him before he
               can hit the ground.  Frosty is melting like something in a
               gory horror movie.

                                   FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
                             (dying)
                         It's coy-tains, I tells ya!  Coy
                         tains!

               Frosty collapses in a puddle on the floor.

                                   SATAN
                         Well, sh*t.

                                   RUDOLPH
                         YEAH, BEE-OTCH!!!

                                   SCRAPPY
                         To hell with Frosty!  Let's just
                         kill them ourselves!

                                   SATAN
                         We... Can't.

                                   SCRAPPY
                         WHAT?

                                   SANTA, LIAM, & RUDOLPH
                         WHAT?

                                   SCRAPPY
                         What do you MEAN we can't kill
                         them?

                                   SATAN
                         While on the Earth plane I am
                         forbidden by...
                             (whispers, points upwards)
                         ...you know who...
                             (normally)
                         from directly attacking anyone. 
                         Sure...
                             (whispers, points up)
                         ...he...
                             (normally)
                         ...lets Me get away with general
                         mischeif and torture every now and
                         again, but to kill Liam Smith and
                         Saint Nikolas would invite his
                         wrath on me and that is something I
                         cannot afford right now.  Release
                         them.

               Scrappy can't believe his ears.

                                   SCRAPPY
                         But, I...

                                   SATAN
                         RELEASE THEM!

               Scrappy jumps in fright, then unties Santa and Liam.

                                   LIAM
                         I must say this is somewhat
                         unexpected.

                                   SATAN
                         Consider this a friendly overture,
                         boy.  Your reckoning is coming soon
                         and even...
                             (silently, pointing up)
                         ...you-know-who...
                             (normally)
                         ...won't be able to protect you.

               Satan walks around Liam as if he's sizing him up.

                                   SATAN
                         You fear me, don't you boy?  Good.

               Santa steps in front of Liam, shielding him from Satan.

                                   SANTA
                         You said what you came to say.  Now
                         get out of here!

                                   SATAN
                             (to Liam)
                         I'll see you soon.

               Satan and Scrappy disappear in a wave of hellfire.

               EXT. SANTA'S WORKSHOP

               Liam and Santa are walking outside the building.

                                   SANTA
                         ...fortunatly, the elves at by
                         backup workshops have been working
                         overtime since the explosion. 
                         They've got enough toys for all the
                         good little boys and girls all over
                         the world.  Christmas will once
                         again be on schedule thanks to you
                         and your friends.
                             (he looks around)
                         Speaking of your friends, where are
                         they?

               Thad and Arturo walk around the corner, both eating
               something.

                                   LIAM
                         There they are.

                                   ARTURO
                         Ah, yes... So, I take it everything
                         worked out well?
                             (he offers them what he's
                              eating)
                         Salmon?

                                   THAD
                         Freshly grilled.

                                   SANTA
                         No thanks.  I have a full night
                         ahead of me delivering toys and
                         things, after I drop you guys off.

               Santa walks over to the sleigh off in the distance.

                                   THAD
                         This was fun!

                                   ARTURO
                         I have to admit that my inner child
                         was delighted to come to the North
                         Pole and help Santa!

                                   LIAM
                         Yeah, it feels good to do something
                         right for once and not screw it up.

               KER-BLOOEY!!!  Santa's Sleigh erupts in a fireball.

                                   ARTURO
                         OH MY GOD!!!

                                   LIAM
                         GAH!  SANTA'S DEAD!!!

                                   THAD
                         No, no, no!  Guys!  Maybe he's
                         okay!

               WHAM!  Santa falls in front of them bruised, broken, and
               bleeding, but still alive.

                                   THAD
                         See?  He's fine!

               They crouch down with Santa.

                                   LIAM
                         Santa!  What happened!?

                                   SANTA
                         Must... Must have been something
                         the Snow-Mafia set up before...! 
                         Ow!

                                   ARTURO
                         Sit down, man!  You're in no
                         condition to move!

                                   SANTA
                         But... Christmas!   The children!

                                   THAD
                         We've got to get you to a hospital,
                         dude!

                                   SANTA
                         No!  First we have to find a
                         replacement!

                                   LIAM
                         For you?  Where else are we going
                         to find a jolly old fat man on the
                         North Pole at THIS time of night?

               Silence.  Thad and Liam look at the professor.

                                   ARTURO
                         Oh, no... No, no, no, no, NO!

               INT. A HOUSE

               We see a Christmas tree and a fireplace.  A man in a Santa
               suit crashes down into the fireplace.  He gets up, dusts
               himself off and we see that he is the professor.

                                   ARTURO
                         Bloody Christmas!

               There is a sound.  Arturo whirls around and sees a little boy
               with a small puppy.

                                   LITTLE BOY
                         Santa?

                                   ARTURO
                         No... Uh, I mean.  Yes.  What do
                         you want?  Shouldn't you be in bed?

                                   LITTLE BOY
                         Did you bring me a Nintendo
                         Gamecube like I asked for?  I've
                         been REALLY good this year!

                                   ARTURO
                         Er.. Sorry kid, but we couldn't
                         make enough Gamecubes.

                                   LITTLE BOY
                         Well, you FAT SON OF A BITCH!

                                   ARTURO
                         What?

                                   LITTLE BOY
                         I sold seeds, I helped the elderly,
                         and I gave BLOOD for God's sake
                         because I thought I was getting a
                         Gamecube and now YOU tell me that
                         I'm not getting one?
                             (to puppy)
                         SIC 'EM SNUFFLES!!!

               The puppy leaps at Arturo's face and attacks him.  Arturo
               tries to pull the dog off of him but only ends up doing a
               Chris Farley routine, crashing into the tree and finally into
               the coffee table.

               EXT. THE ROOF

               Thad and Rudolph are listening to the professor scream. 
               Thad's back is to the camera.

                                   THAD
                         Does Santa have to put up with this
                         kind of stuff all the time?

                                   RUDOLPH
                         Oh, brotha!  You would NOT believe. 
                         You should have been here during
                         the great Tickle Me Elmo shortage
                         of 1998!  What are you doing back
                         there anyway?

                                   THAD
                         Just writing my name in the snow.

               Thad zips up and turns back to Rudolph.

                                   THAD
                         Well, I'm glad that Santa's going
                         to the hospital so he can do this
                         next year.  My foot's been asleep
                         since Malaysia.

                                   RUDOLPH
                         Yeah, he'll go to the hospital
                         eventually.

                                   THAD
                         What do you mean 'eventually'?

                                   RUDOLPH
                         Well, he has a special delivery he
                         wanted to make personally.

               INT. HELL

               Satan is sitting in his throne talking on a phone.

                                   SATAN
                         Look, tell them I don't CARE if
                         they were TOLD they were going to
                         sit on the right side of Allah.
                             (a pause)
                         Well, they should have thought
                         about that before they hijacked
                         those planes.

                                   SOUND EFFECT
                         PLOP!

                                   SATAN
                             (on phone)
                         Tell them that Sodomization is
                         standard practice here and they're
                         not getting special treatment.
                             (a beat)
                         Yes, I KNOW it's a lie.  I'm not
                         called the King of Lies for
                         nothing, numbnuts!

                                   SOUND EFFECT
                         PLOP!

                                   SATAN
                             (on phone)
                         Okay, after the sodomization, let's
                         burn them alive again, but make it
                         last, oh... I don't know...
                         Four or five thousand years for
                         them and then do it over again
                         after dropping them in a tub of
                         hydrogen peroxide.  Then I want
                         them crushed under 110 stories of
                         rubble about 50 or 60 times a day.

                                   SOUND EFFECT
                         PLOP!

                                   SATAN
                             (on phone)
                         Then I...
                             (sniff sniff)
                         What's that smell?

               EXT. A CAVERN

               Santa is sitting on top of a chimney with his pants down
               around his legs silently laughing to himself as Liam waits in
               a sleigh.  'Santa Claus is Coming to Town'  plays furiously
               in the background as we...

                                                       FADE OUT:

               THE END
