SIDE 1

SAM

Well, for the first year, the Donners did a pretty good job of hiding Rudolph's... uh... non-conformity. Donner taught Rudolph all the ins and outs of being a reindeer...

DONNER

This way Rudolph. Right over here.

YOUNG RUDOLPH

Right behind you Daddy.

DONNER

You see Rudolph - here at the edge of the forest is the best place to find food.

YOUNG RUDOLPH

Mmmmm. That's good.

DONNER

Back to training my boy.

YOUNG RUDOLPH

Sure Daddy.

DONNER

Remember, keep your base low when you are getting ready to charge. It's all about leverage.

YOUNG RUDOLPH

Leverage. Got it.

SIDE 2

(SAM)

We call it Christmastown - better known as the North Pole - here's our Christmas Tree Forest - the place where I grew up. It's a nice place to live, you know. Of course, the number one citizens up here are the Clauses, Santa and Mrs. - first castle on the left. Matter of fact, only castle on the left. Why, here they come now.

(SANTA and MRS. CLAUS cross the stage. MRS. CLAUS carries a bowl and a large wooden spoon.)

MRS. CLAUS

Papa! You haven't touched a morsel. I'll have to take this suit in. Eat.

SANTA

(exiting)

I'm busy Mama. It's almost Christmas!

MRS. CLAUS

(exiting after SANTA)

Whoever heard of a skinny Santa? Eat! Eat!

SAM

Now don't any of you worry about Santa. Mrs. Claus will have him plenty fattened up by Christmas Eve. It's always the same story.
