Didn't you go together in Alan's car? 565 00:41:35,990 --> 00:41:36,990 Yes, we did. 566 00:41:37,020 --> 00:41:39,500 Well, didn't they come back with you? No, they went to Midnight Mass. 567 00:41:39,820 --> 00:41:40,820 Midnight Mass. 568 00:41:40,900 --> 00:41:43,940 That's what I thought when she told me last night. But anybody who goes to 569 00:41:43,940 --> 00:41:45,420 Midnight Mass can't be all that bad. 570 00:41:45,660 --> 00:41:47,900 Well, he can be if he's going there to confess. 571 00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:51,720 Well, look, we'll just call her friends. You know, maybe they decided to... I 572 00:41:51,720 --> 00:41:54,680 don't know. No, I think we should stay off the phone so that they can call us. 573 00:41:54,820 --> 00:41:57,160 If they wanted to call us, they would have called us. Dad, we've got to do 574 00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,700 something. Call the police? Well, let's call the police. We've got to find her. 575 00:42:01,060 --> 00:42:04,020 I knew it! I just knew it! What's the matter, Nicholas? 576 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:05,280 It's my fault! 577 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:06,078 You saw her? 578 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:07,080 No, I... 579 00:42:08,780 --> 00:42:11,120 Santa Claus, that's why I took all our stuff back. 580 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:12,440 Come on, I'll show you. 581 00:42:12,780 --> 00:42:15,200 Are you kidding me?

I mean, well, at least I hope she wasn't kidnapped. 588 00:42:47,290 --> 00:42:50,930 And the Santa Claus character who was supposed to have stolen your presents 589 00:42:50,930 --> 00:42:51,848 the tree ornament. 590 00:42:51,850 --> 00:42:54,870 Yeah, I saw him.

I mean, any Santa Claus that would think that is 597 00:43:16,410 --> 00:43:21,430 obviously an imposter.
