of giving in their hearts for three hundred and sixty
five days a year, not just at Christmas time.

You already sneak up on around summertime. Boy, it's getting show.

Speaker 3: So many people you argue, not for what you bring them,
but because you your humber of goodness. But only for
a short time. Tonight I passed the grave of a
boy who fought and gave his life. Tonight, I passed
the park bench where his brother sleeps. Tonight I passed
the house of the man who made both possible. Like
a miser, he's trying to hold the precious destiny of
his fellow men, worshiping not the spirit of Christmas, but
kneeling to the power of greed, haunting the wheels of progress,
betraying all the right to a free government, belittling those
who gave their lifeblood for peace on earth, goodwill toward men,
wishing a merry Christmas to no one.
Speaker 1: Ah, I think it'd be better if I never came
back again.
Speaker 3: Oh, pe cany clues he'd be better, Nick, here, it
will well, I'll think it over.

Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 1: Just reach in the back and get whatever you want.
