(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)
(KIDS CHEERING)
3
00:00:47,792 --> 00:00:49,290
Almost Christmas.
4
00:00:49,325 --> 00:00:52,424
I love the way
the city's transformed
by all the decorations.
5
00:00:52,459 --> 00:00:54,457
What do you most love
about Christmas, Helga?
6
00:00:54,493 --> 00:00:55,791
(CHUCKLES)
Are you kidding?
7
00:00:55,826 --> 00:00:57,892
The presents!
I'm going to make
a haul this year.
8
00:00:57,927 --> 00:01:01,058
But Helga, Christmas is
about giving and sharing,
9
00:01:01,094 --> 00:01:03,325
family and friends,
holiday spirit.
10
00:01:03,361 --> 00:01:05,893
Oh, come off
your high horse, sister.
11
00:01:05,928 --> 00:01:07,559
Christmas is about presents.
12
00:01:07,595 --> 00:01:10,127
It's about getting as much
stuff as you can possibly get.
13
00:01:10,162 --> 00:01:11,426
It's about money and flash.
14
00:01:11,461 --> 00:01:13,060
It's about shopping
like a barbarian.
15
00:01:13,096 --> 00:01:15,895
It's about getting yours
before the other guy gets his.
16
00:01:15,930 --> 00:01:19,262
It's about dropping hints,
making lists,
Christmas is about...
17
00:01:19,297 --> 00:01:21,262
(VOICE ECHOING)
18
00:01:21,297 --> 00:01:22,561
Snowboots.

hand-riveted,
zigzag spread,
steel toes.
23
00:01:31,631 --> 00:01:32,696
I've got to have 'em.
24
00:01:32,731 --> 00:01:34,330
I've just got to have 'em.
25
00:01:34,366 --> 00:01:36,497
You and every other girl
in the city, Helga.
26
00:01:36,532 --> 00:01:38,463
The stores are
practically sold out.
27
00:01:38,499 --> 00:01:40,464
There just aren't enough
for everybody.
28
00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:42,431
I'll get my boots,
Rhonda Lloyd.
29
00:01:42,466 --> 00:01:44,798
I've been dropping hints
to my parents for weeks,
30
00:01:44,833 --> 00:01:46,232
and they better
not blow it
31
00:01:46,268 --> 00:01:49,232
or I'll show them
some holiday spirit.
32
00:01:49,268 --> 00:01:50,732
So what did you
get your Dad?
33
00:01:50,768 --> 00:01:52,665
Nice plaid tie,
not too loud.
34
00:01:52,701 --> 00:01:54,632
That's nice.
What did you
get Jamie O.?
35
00:01:54,667 --> 00:01:56,033
A tie. Red and blue.
36
00:01:56,068 --> 00:01:58,333
That's good.
What did you
get Timberly?
37
00:01:58,369 --> 00:02:00,334
A tie with little
pink things on it.
38
00:02:00,370 --> 00:02:02,934
Gerald, you can't get
Timberly a tie for Christmas.
39
00:02:02,969 --> 00:02:04,634
She's a little
four-year-old girl
40
00:02:04,669 --> 00:02:06,102
What's she gonna
wear a tie for?
41
00:02:06,137 --> 00:02:07,468
Formal occasions.
42
00:02:07,503 --> 00:02:09,635
ARNOLD: You can't just
give everybody a tie
for Christmas.
43
00:02:09,670 --> 00:02:11,468
GERALD: Why not?
Because Christmas is special.
44
00:02:11,504 --> 00:02:14,370
It's about showing the people
you're close to that
you really care about them.
45
00:02:14,405 --> 00:02:16,469
When you give
somebody a present,
it should be unique.
46
00:02:16,505 --> 00:02:17,904
Well, maybe you're right.
47
00:02:17,939 --> 00:02:20,803
Maybe I'll give my grandpa
the tie I got for Timberly.
48
00:02:20,838 --> 00:02:22,137
And I get a toy or something.
49
00:02:22,172 --> 00:02:24,170
Now you're getting
the Christmas spirit.
Well, see ya.
50
00:02:24,206 --> 00:02:25,271
Where ya going?
51
00:02:25,306 --> 00:02:26,837
I gotta go take
your present back.
52
00:02:28,173 --> 00:02:29,372
See you, Gerald.
53
00:02:34,908 --> 00:02:37,339
Arnold, what a goof.
What a sap.
54
00:02:37,375 --> 00:02:38,739
What a holiday fool.
55
00:02:38,775 --> 00:02:41,340
How I revile
his very existence.
56
00:02:41,376 --> 00:02:43,540
And yet, I love him.
57
00:02:43,575 --> 00:02:44,940
His awkward gait,
58
00:02:44,975 --> 00:02:47,208
his half-lidded gaze,
his brave,
59
00:02:47,242 --> 00:02:50,241
his misguided concern
for those less fortunate.
60
00:02:50,277 --> 00:02:52,708
I must find the perfect
gift for my beloved.
61
00:02:52,743 --> 00:02:54,308
Something big and flashy.
62
00:02:54,343 --> 00:02:56,808
Something that will impress
him and make him pine for me.
63
00:02:56,843 --> 00:02:58,376
The way that I pine for him.
64
00:03:00,945 --> 00:03:02,277

(INDISTINCT WHISPERING)
66
00:03:10,845 --> 00:03:13,044
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.
67
00:03:13,846 --> 00:03:15,245
So that's all of us.
68
00:03:15,281 --> 00:03:17,545
It's time to pick
your Secret Santa.
69
00:03:17,580 --> 00:03:19,078
Go ahead, everybody
70
00:03:19,114 --> 00:03:20,845
Pick a random name
from the bowl.
71
00:03:25,847 --> 00:03:28,313
(WHISPERING)
Don't tell anyone,
but I got Oskar.
72
00:03:28,348 --> 00:03:29,513
I got Oskar, too.
73
00:03:29,548 --> 00:03:30,646
So did I.
74
00:03:30,681 --> 00:03:33,080
(LAUGHS)
What a coincidence!
75
00:03:33,116 --> 00:03:34,414
Kokoshka, you bum.
76
00:03:34,449 --> 00:03:36,347
You wrote your name
on all the slips.
77
00:03:36,383 --> 00:03:37,948
Okay, okay. It was a joke.
78
00:03:37,983 --> 00:03:39,382
A Christmas joke, eh?
79
00:03:39,417 --> 00:03:41,282
A yuletide prankster, eh?
80
00:03:41,317 --> 00:03:43,382
Okay, we'll start over.
81
00:03:43,417 --> 00:03:45,549
Pookie, how about
a little Christmas music.
82
00:03:47,351 --> 00:03:48,983
(PLAYING PIANO)
83
00:03:53,852 --> 00:03:55,417
ARNOLD: (WHISPERS)
Mr. Hyunh.
84
00:04:01,620 --> 00:04:03,285
(ALL LAUGHING)
85
00:04:04,987 --> 00:04:07,619
Arnold, it's simple.
Just get him a tie.
86
00:04:07,654 --> 00:04:09,319
Gerald, that's what
everybody gets
87
00:04:09,354 --> 00:04:10,920
when they don't know
what to get somebody.
88
00:04:10,955 --> 00:04:13,053
Exactly my point.
I don't know.
89
00:04:13,088 --> 00:04:14,821
He always seems so sad
this time of year.
90
00:04:14,856 --> 00:04:16,220
I gotta think
of something special.
91
00:04:16,255 --> 00:04:17,653
Something that would
cheer him up.
92
00:04:17,689 --> 00:04:20,154
Well, if you really wanna
find out what the guy wants,
93
00:04:20,190 --> 00:04:21,721
why don't you just go
and talk to him.
94
00:04:21,756 --> 00:04:23,321
Yeah, I'll just go
talk to him.
95
00:04:23,356 --> 00:04:25,688
Gather some clues.
Figure out what he wants.
96
00:04:25,723 --> 00:04:27,355
What a great plan, Gerald!
97
00:04:29,691 --> 00:04:30,989
Is there something special
98
00:04:31,025 --> 00:04:33,256
you want to talk
with me about, Arnold?
99
00:04:33,292 --> 00:04:34,489
No, no.
100
00:04:34,525 --> 00:04:37,057
I just wanted to say
hello and, um...
101
00:04:37,092 --> 00:04:38,890
...just see how you're doing.
102
00:04:38,926 --> 00:04:40,957
Oh, I'm fine.
Thank you.
103
00:04:40,992 --> 00:04:43,557
I wish I had some
candy to offer you.
104
00:04:43,592 --> 00:04:45,624
I never have any
candy around here.
105
00:04:45,659 --> 00:04:47,825
Oh, do you like
candy, Mr. Hyunh?
106
00:04:47,860 --> 00:04:50,525
No, no, no. Candy
is bad for my stomach.
107
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,159
Sure has been cold lately.
108
00:04:52,195 --> 00:04:55,059
Yes, very cold.
Make me shiver.
109
00:04:55,094 --> 00:04:57,693
I bet you could probably
use a nice, warm sweater.
110
00:04:57,728 --> 00:05:00,360
No, I got
plenty of sweater.
111
00:05:01,795 --> 00:05:04,694
See, red,
blue, green,
112
00:05:04,729 --> 00:05:06,128
wool, cotton.
113
00:05:06,163 --> 00:05:08,394
Plenty of sweater.
You want one?
114
00:05:08,430 --> 00:05:09,661
No thanks.
115
00:05:09,697 --> 00:05:12,962
So, it's almost
Christmas time.
Yes.
116
00:05:12,997 --> 00:05:14,562
This time of year
117
00:05:14,596 --> 00:05:16,029
always make me remember.
118
00:05:17,832 --> 00:05:19,495
Remember what?
119
00:05:19,531 --> 00:05:22,297
It was a long time ago,
Arnold.
120
00:05:22,332 --> 00:05:24,596
A very complicated story.
121
00:05:24,632 --> 00:05:26,997
I'd like to hear it.
Please, tell me.
122
00:05:29,833 --> 00:05:30,997
HYUNH: Many years ago,
123
00:05:31,033 --> 00:05:32,998
I lived in another country.
124
00:05:33,034 --> 00:05:34,132
Far away.
125
00:05:34,700 --> 00:05:35,798
I was a young man
126
00:05:35,834 --> 00:05:37,732
with a family.
127
00:05:37,767 --> 00:05:39,498
A beautiful baby girl.
128
00:05:39,534 --> 00:05:40,999
I called her Mai.
129
00:05:42,435 --> 00:05:45,499
I was the luckiest man
in the world.
130
00:05:45,535 --> 00:05:49,301
At night, I used to dream
about our future together,
131
00:05:49,336 --> 00:05:52,034
to watch Mai grow up
and go to school.
132
00:05:52,602 --> 00:05:54,235
To see her be happy.
133
00:05:54,270 --> 00:05:57,101
But there was trouble
in my country.
(HELICOPTER HOVERING)
134
00:05:57,137 --> 00:05:59,302
There was a war in the north.
135
00:05:59,337 --> 00:06:00,668
And every day,
136
00:06:00,704 --> 00:06:04,069
the fighting was coming
closer and closer.
137
00:06:04,104 --> 00:06:07,703
I know this would
not be a good place
for my child to grow up.
138
00:06:07,738 --> 00:06:09,437
I could not keep her safe.
139
00:06:09,472 --> 00:06:12,770
Maybe not even have enough
food for her to eat.
140
00:06:12,806 --> 00:06:15,271
So I decided,
we must try to get out.
141
00:06:15,307 --> 00:06:18,038
We must try
to find a better life,
142
00:06:18,073 --> 00:06:20,805
Everyone was trying
to get out.
143
00:06:20,841 --> 00:06:23,539
Everywhere
there was confusion.
144
00:06:23,574 --> 00:06:25,539
Somehow, I got through.
145
00:06:25,574 --> 00:06:28,706
The only way out of the city
was by helicopter.
146
00:06:28,741 --> 00:06:30,772
There were too many people.
147
00:06:30,808 --> 00:06:32,207
I begged the soldier,
148
00:06:32,242 --> 00:06:34,074
"Please, please take us.
149
00:06:34,108 --> 00:06:36,606
"Help us find a new life."
150
00:06:36,642 --> 00:06:37,807
But he could not.
151
00:06:37,843 --> 00:06:40,341
He said, "There was
only room for one of us."
152
00:06:43,044 --> 00:06:45,408
Then, I had to make the most
153
00:06:45,444 --> 00:06:47,675
difficult decision of my life.
154
00:06:47,711 --> 00:06:50,976
I knew I had to do
the best thing for Mai.
155
00:06:51,011 --> 00:06:54,210
I knew if I gave
Mai to the soldier,
156
00:06:54,245 --> 00:06:55,977
he would take care of her.
157
00:06:56,012 --> 00:06:58,377
(INAUDIBLE)
He would find a home for her.
158
00:06:58,412 --> 00:07:02,845
And then, as soon as I could,
I would get out of the country
159
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,811
and find her again.
160
00:07:04,847 --> 00:07:06,812
As the helicopter left,
161
00:07:06,847 --> 00:07:09,645
the soldier called out
the name of a city.
162
00:07:12,747 --> 00:07:14,379
This city.
163
00:07:14,414 --> 00:07:16,512
He said
he would bring her here.
164
00:07:17,648 --> 00:07:19,113
You had to give her
to the soldier.
165
00:07:19,149 --> 00:07:20,613
You were saving
her life.
166
00:07:21,282 --> 00:07:22,314
Yes.
167
00:07:22,349 --> 00:07:23,714
You've never seen her since?
168
00:07:23,749 --> 00:07:26,614
No, it took me 20 years
169
00:07:26,650 --> 00:07:29,181
until I could finally
get out of the country.
170
00:07:29,217 --> 00:07:32,015
That's why
I came to this city.
171
00:07:32,051 --> 00:07:34,316
I believe she's here,
somewhere.
172
00:07:34,351 --> 00:07:36,549
But I've not been
able to find her.
173
00:07:36,584 --> 00:07:38,716
Sometimes, it is so difficult.
174
00:07:38,751 --> 00:07:40,850
I almost give up hope.
175
00:07:40,885 --> 00:07:43,150
But I never stopped
thinking about her.
176
00:07:43,185 --> 00:07:45,017
I'll never stop trying.
177
00:07:45,053 --> 00:07:47,551

to see her again.

one thing,
184

and that's to see
his daughter.

I know it's a long shot,
186
00:08:05,089 --> 00:08:07,420
but if I could find her
and bring them together,
187
00:08:07,456 --> 00:08:09,921
it could be the best Christmas
gift I could give Mr. Hyunh.

before Christmas.

a miracle to find her.
